of
             Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies
 
 
Disclosure of the Corporation's significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these policies are particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management. Additional information is contained in management's discussion and analysis for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.
 
 
In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate. In estimating the allowance for loan losses, management considers current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, its borrowers' perceived financial and managerial strengths, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent, or present value of future cash flows and other relevant factors.
 
Overview

The purpose of this discussion and the accompanying financial data is to provide aid in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the years under review.

The Corporation is a one-bank holding company, with wholly-owned subsidiaries Commercial Bank & Trust of PA (the Bank), and Ridge Properties, Inc.

The Corporation reported net income of $5.1 million or $1.79 per share for the year ended 2009 compared to $4.0 million or $1.36 per share for the year ended 2008. The Corporation’s return on average assets ratios for 2009 and 2008 were 1.39% and 1.13%, respectively. Return on average equity for two periods were 12.39% and 10.58%, respectively.    The corporations’ dividend payout ratios for 2009 and 2008 were 49.16% and 61.76%, respectively. The average equity to average asset ratios were 11.18% for 2009 and 10.68% for 2008.

The Corporation’s largest segment of operating results is dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is calculated as earnings on interest-earning assets less interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For the years ended 2009 and 2008, net interest income was $15.3 million and $13.5 million. The related tax-equivalent net interest margin for these two years was 4.68% and 4.20%, respectively. The 2009 increase in the margin is mostly due to the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which decreased significantly more than the decrease in yields on earning assets. The Corporation anticipates margins in 2010 will improve slightly, however, the Corporation anticipates it will be difficult to increase volume of outstanding loans in 2010 due to difficult economic conditions.  The Corporation anticipates the effective federal tax rate will decrease in 2010 compared to 2009 due to the purchase of municipal bonds during 2009. Other factors that can affect the Corporation’s operating results are activity in the loan loss provision and components of non-interest income and non-interest expense.

Overview (Continued)

The business strategy for 2010 is to continue to pursue loan and deposit growth, acknowledging the difficult economic environment.  Management anticipates net interest income in 2010 will be similar to 2009 with potentially lower earning assets outstanding with slightly improved margins.  Loans and deposits will continue to be competitively priced by the Corporation with the intention of acquiring profitable market share.

The Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) voted to amend the restoration plan for the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). The Board also took action to ensure the continued strength of the insurance fund by imposing a special assessment in 2009.  The Corporation paid a FDIC special assessment of $166,000 in 2009 along with the regular quarterly assessments. The Corporation paid a prepaid assessment of $1.2 million on December 30, 2009. The prepaid assessment is recorded in other assets and represents an estimate of quarterly FDIC assessments through December 31, 2012.

Financial Condition

Total assets of the Corporation were $376.0 million on December 31, 2009 compared to $360.5 million on December 31, 2008. This increase in assets is mainly due to an increase in investments and investment in life insurance offset by decreases in loan receivables and cash.  The increase in total liabilities is attributed to increases in deposits partially offset by decreases in borrowings.

The loan portfolio is comprised mostly of residential and commercial real estate secured loans. These loans consist of residential mortgages, commercial mortgages and home equity term loans and lines of credit. Additionally, the loan portfolio includes commercial, tax-free and other consumer loans.

The total loan portfolio decreased $10.7 million in 2009, with an end of year balance of $203.3 million compared with the 2008 end of year balance of $214.1 million. The majority of the year-to-year change is due to decreases in residential mortgage loans of $8.2 million and decreases in home equity installment loans of $4.8 million.  These decreases were offset partially by increases in commercial real estate loans of $1.1 million and increases in commercial loans of $1.9 million.

 
Total investment securities increased $24.1 million during 2009. The Corporation purchased $20.0 million of mortgage-backed securities and $40.0 million of municipal bonds in 2009.  These purchases were offset by the following; $38.2 million in principal pay-downs of mortgage-backed securities and a $1.0 million call on a municipal bond.  The Corporation’s investments increased in fair value by $3.2 million.  All of the Corporation’s securities are held as available for sale. These securities consist of mortgage-backed securities and taxable and tax-free municipal bonds. All of the mortgage-backed securities are US Government Agencies and are triple ‘A’ rated bonds.  The Corporation also owns restricted Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Depending upon market fluctuations or other circumstances that may arise, such as changes in prepayment rates, the Corporation may sell securities for asset/liability management and liquidity purposes.

At December 31, 2009, total deposits were $269.7 million compared with  $257.1 million as of December 31, 2008. This $12.6 million increase was the result of the following: an increase of $7.1 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits, a $1.0 million increase in NOW accounts, a $5.5 million increase in money market accounts, a $5.1 million increase in savings accounts and a $6.1 million decrease in certificates of deposits. The increase in the demand deposit, savings and money market accounts is a result of customers maintaining higher average balances in their accounts.

 
Total short-term borrowings increased $17.7 million in 2009, ending the year at $48.9 million compared to the 2008 balance of $31.2 million.  Long-term borrowings decreased  $20.0 million in 2009, from the $30.0 million balance in 2008. The decrease in long-term borrowings is due to the maturity of a $20.0 million long-term advance in September 2009, which was replaced with short-term borrowings.

Financial Condition (Continued)

Shareholders’ equity was $43.5 million on December 31, 2009, compared to $39.1 million on December 31, 2008, an increase of $4.4 million. The change in shareholders’ equity consists of net income of $5.1 million and an increase in other comprehensive income of $2.1 million being offset by dividends declared of $2.5 million and the purchase of treasury stock of  $307,000.  Book value per common share at year-end 2009 increased by 12.09% to $15.20 from $13.56 at year-end 2008.

Share Repurchase

During 2009 the Corporation repurchased 20,000 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $15.33 per share, and recorded these shares as treasury shares.

Results of Operations

Net income increased $1.1 million, or 27.5%, to $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Net Interest Income

In 2009, interest income was $19.5 million compared to $19.6 million in 2008, representing a 0.5% decrease in 2009. The slight decrease in interest income for 2009 resulted from changes in the following components. Investment income increased by $976,000, offset by a $1.0 million decrease in loan interest income and a $25,000 decrease in other interest income. The income on investment securities increased due to higher average balances in 2009, the averages increased by $22.1 million in 2009 compared to 2008.  Loan interest income decreased in 2009 due to lower average loan volumes and lower yields for 2009 compared with 2008. The average loans outstanding for 2009 was $207.9 million compared $219.0 million for 2008.   The other interest decreased due to a decrease in average Federal Funds Sold balances along with lower yields on Federal Funds Sold in 2009 compared to 2008 averages.

For 2009, interest expense was $4.2 million compared to $6.1 million in 2008, representing a decrease of $1.9 million.  The $1.9 million decrease is the result of lower cost of interest bearing liabilities.  Certificate of deposit costs decreased $1.6 million in 2009 and FHLB interest cost decreased  $282,000 in 2009.

 As a result of these factors, net interest income in 2009 was $15.3 million compared to $13.5 million in 2008.

Other Operating Income and Expense

Total other operating income remained constant at $3.1 million for 2009 and 2008.  Other operating income year-to-year changes were: service charges on deposit accounts decreased $48,000 and other service charges and fees increased $15,000. In 2009, net securities losses were $0 compared to $76,000 in 2008. Trust income decreased $86,000 due to lower market values on the assets under management and lower fees earned on cash equivalent funds due to the very low interest rate environment.  Income from investment in life insurance decreased  $15,000 because of decreases in earnings on the cash surrender values. Other income is higher mainly due to $21,000 in income recognized from proceeds of a life insurance policy, due to the passing of a former employee of the Corporation.

 
Non-interest expense was $11.3 million for 2009 and $11.0 million in 2008.   Non-interest changes were: salaries and employee benefits decreased $21,000.  This decrease is the result mainly of the following changes; salary expenses decreased $53,000, heath care insurance increased $16,000, payroll taxes decreased $18,000 and other compensation increased by $31,000 due to bonuses payable to union employees employed as of December 31, 2009.  Net occupancy increased $78,000 mainly due to a $53,000 increase in repair and maintenance costs and a $12,000 increase in utilities expenses. Professional fees decreased by $42,000 and Pennsylvania shares tax decreased by $23,000. FDIC insurance cost increased by $414,000 compared with 2008.  FDIC insurance expense was higher due to a special assessment of $166,000 paid in 2009, along with higher quarterly assessment rates in 2009 compared to 2008. ATM expenses increased by $32,000 due to higher usage and one additional ATM placed in service in 2009. Director fees increased by $31,000 due to an increase in board fees paid in 2009 compared to 2008. Other expenses decreased by $104,000 due to a variety of small increases and decreases in other expenses.

Income tax expense was $1.9 million in 2009 and $1.6 million in 2008.  The company’s effective tax rate was 27.09% in 2009 and 28.28% in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity measurements evaluate the Corporation’s ability to meet the cash-flow needs of its depositors and borrowers. The most desirable source of liquidity is deposit growth. Additional liquidity is provided by the maturity of investments in loans and securities and the principal and interest received from those earning assets. Another source of liquidity is represented by the Corporation’s ability to sell both loans and available-for-sale securities. The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. The FHLB provides an additional source for liquidity for long- and short-term funding. Additional sources of funding from financial institutions have been established for short-term funding needs.

As of December 31, 2009, the Corporation had available funding of approximately $65.4 million at the FHLB with an additional $20.0 million of short-term funding available through federal funds lines of credit.

The Corporation has outstanding commitments to fund loans that are made in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2009, the commitments stood at $33.1 million. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Cash flows provided from operating activities in 2009 decreased by $448,000 to $3.0 million, from $3.45 million in 2008.  The majority of this decrease is attributed to the increase in net income in 2009 that was offset by cash used to prepay the FDIC assessment.

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $10.9 million in 2009, compared to cash provided by investing activities in 2008 of $6.2 million.  The majority of cash used in investing activities in 2009 was the result of the $20.0 million increase in investments, which was partially offset by cash provided from the decrease in loan balances.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $7.5 million in 2009, compared to $12.4 million used in financing activities in 2008. Cash provided by the $12.6 million growth in deposits and the $17.6 million increase in short-term borrowings was used to pay off $20.0 million in long-term borrowings, pay $2.5 million in dividends and purchase treasury stock at a cost of $307,000.

Interest Sensitivity and Market Risk (Continued)

The Corporation’s market risk is primarily interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises due to timing differences between interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Management monitors its interest sensitivity position with the intent of structuring the balance sheet so that movements of interest rates on assets and liabilities produce a relatively constant net interest margin. The Corporation’s interest rate risk management is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee, which reports to the Board of Directors. This Committee establishes policies for monitoring and coordinating the Corporation’s sources, uses and pricing of funds.

The following table lists the amounts and ratio of assets and liabilities subject to change as of December 31, 2009.

Loan and security assumptions are based upon contractual maturity and prepayment estimates. Included in other interest bearing deposits are savings, money market and interest-bearing transaction accounts. These accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal. However, based upon historical performance, management considers a certain portion of the accounts to be stable core deposits.

Although useful, there are certain deficiencies in this static gap model. Assets and liabilities are subject to competitive pressures throughout the Corporation’s market area. Additionally, the timing and degree of repricing on assets and liabilities may vary significantly as interest rates change.

The Corporation utilizes a computer simulation analysis that projects the impact of changing interest rates on earnings. Simulation modeling projects a baseline net interest income (assuming no changes in interest rate levels) and estimates changes to that baseline resulting from changes in interest rate levels. The Corporation utilizes the results of this model in evaluating its interest rate risk. This model incorporates a number of additional factors. These factors include: (1) the expected exercise of call features on various assets and liabilities; (2) the expected rates at which various rate sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice; (3) the expected relative movements in different interest rate indexes that are used as the basis for pricing or repricing various assets and liabilities; (4) expected changes in administered rates on interest-bearing transaction, savings, money market and time deposit accounts and the expected impact of competition on the pricing or repricing of such accounts; and (5) other factors. Inclusion of these factors in the model is intended to estimate the Corporation’s changes in net interest income resulting from an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates up 100, 200 and 300 basis points or 100, 200 and 300 basis points down. While the Corporation believes this model provides a useful projection of its interest rate risk, the model includes a number of assumptions and predictions that are subject to continual refinement. These assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute baseline net interest income, growth rates and a variety of other factors that are difficult to accurately predict.

Interest Sensitivity and Market Risk (Continued)

The December 31, 2009 computer simulations analysis projects the following changes in net interest income based on an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates for a twelve month period compared to baseline, with baseline representing no change in interest rates.  The model projects net interest income will decrease 2.50% if rates rise 100 bps, will decrease 6.2% if rates rise 200 bps and projects a 10.2% decrease of net interest income if rates rise 300 bps.  If rates decrease 100 bps, the model projects a 0.1% decrease in net interest income, a 1.5% decrease if rates decrease 200 bps and if rates decrease 300 bps, the model projects net interest income will decrease 3.3%.

In the event of a shift in interest rates, management may take certain actions intended to mitigate the negative impact to net interest income or to maximize the positive impact to net interest income. These actions may include, but are not limited to, restructuring of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, seeking alternative funding sources or investment opportunities and modifying the pricing or terms of loans and deposits.


Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Review

Maintaining a high quality loan portfolio is of great importance to the Corporation. The Corporation manages the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio through the use of prudent lending policies and procedures and monitors risk through a periodic review process provided by internal auditors, regulatory authorities and internal loan review procedures. These reviews include an analysis of credit quality, diversification of industry, compliance with policies and procedures, and current economic conditions. In addition to these reviews, the Corporation annually has commercial loan reviews performed by a third party specializing in this area.

The Corporation’s credit culture fosters and actively supports the extension of credit on sound, fundamental lending policies. Each credit is to be logical, legal, constructive and acceptable within policy guidelines.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve that is intended to account for credit losses which may be expected in the Corporation’s loan portfolio as a result of the credit risk involved in the normal granting of credit. Adequate management of the allowance is an integral part of the credit risk management process. The Corporation will maintain an adequate allowance in anticipation of losses reflected as of the evaluation date. Management is cognizant of the subjective nature of decisions regarding loan portfolio factors and the variability over time of internal and external factors affecting portfolio quality, and realizes that an effective asset review system is essential to establishing the basis for an adequate allowance. To improve the accuracy of determining the allowance, management will continuously monitor all factors and current conditions that may affect loss recognition.

The amount of the provision (credit) for loan losses was $0 in 2009 and $15,000 in 2008.  For each of the same years, the net charge-offs (recoveries) against the allowance for loan losses was $99,000 and $63,000, respectively. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimates of losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover losses that may be realized in the future, or that additional provisions for losses on loans will not be required.

Management’s review and evaluation of loan loss experience and loan loss potential on outstanding loans occurs on a quarterly basis and includes a review of such factors as charge-off history, delinquent loans, loan collateral value, the borrower’s financial condition, current economic conditions and the current requirements of the appropriate regulatory agencies. As a result of this on-going study, management believes that the allowance for loan loss amount for December 31, 2009 is adequate.

Loans that were past due 90 days or more, or were on non-accrual represented 0.13% of total loans on December 31, 2009, which was an increase from 0.01% on December 31, 2008 and from 0.06% on December 31, 2007. The Corporation’s policy is to place a loan on non-accrual basis when it becomes 90 days past due provided that the loan is well collateralized and evidence indicates a reasonable likelihood for collection. Also, a loan is placed on non-accrual in the event of a material decline in business activity that may hinder the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.
 
As of December 31, 2009, $118,000 of non-accrual loans were paying principal or principal and interest with payments recognized on a cash basis. Renegotiated loan balances decreased primarily due to the removal of a $2.8 million loan and offset by the addition of a $265,000 relationship that received a renegotiated interest rate.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Review (Continued)
 
 
At present, the Corporation has no knowledge of other outstanding loans that present a serious doubt in regard to the borrower's ability to comply with the current loan repayment terms. As of December 31, 2009 the Corporation had $639,000 in foreclosed real estate compared to $614,000 at the end of 2008.
 
In 2009, the gross amount of interest that would have been recorded on non-accrual loans would have been $13,000. The actual interest reflected in income on these loans was $6,000.

 Capital

The shareholders’ equity or the capital base represents the investment by the Corporation’s owners either initially or through retention of earnings (net after income tax less dividend payments). This investment acts as a safeguard against future uncertainties. The amount of capital which is deemed appropriate is dependent upon an assessment of the Corporation’s total assets, the quality of its loans and securities, its historical earnings record, its business prospects for the near and long term, the management and information systems in place and the general competence and abilities of the Corporation’s management.

The Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital adequacy standards are designed principally as a measure of credit risk. These standards require that (1) at least 50% of total capital must be common and certain other “core” equity capital (“Tier I Capital”); (2) assets and off-balance sheet items must be weighted according to risk; (3) the total capital to risk-weighted asset ratio must be at least 8%; and (4) a minimum 4% leverage ratio of Tier I Capital to average total assets must be maintained.

As of December 31, 2009, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted asset ratios of 18.2% and 19.1%, respectively. In 2009 the leverage ratio was 10.5%. At December 31, 2008, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted assets ratios of 16.8% and 17.6%, respectively. The leverage ratio was 9.9%.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Inflation can be significant to a banking institution because of its implication for the interest rate environment and its influence on personnel expenses and the costs of supplies and materials needed for daily operations. However, such a large portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are represented by monetary investments, inflationary impact tends to be dampened except for the differences caused by maturity variances. Management efforts to gauge and control these variances have been discussed earlier under rate sensitivity. Inflation can have a more direct impact on non-interest expenses. Expenses are closely monitored by management and consistent attention is given to controlling these cost areas in an attempt to limit their increase to manageable levels.

Interest rate movements will continue to influence ongoing earnings levels. Even though the exact impact of these factors cannot be predicted, the Corporation believes that given its financial strength and stability, it will be able to meet these situations in a positive manner.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

          To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Commercial National Financial Corporation
Latrobe, Pennsylvania
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Commercial National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Corporation") as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009. Commercial National Financial Corporation's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Commercial National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
 
 
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
General
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA, and Ridge Properties, Inc.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides full banking services.  The Corporation is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.  The Bank’s primary business consists of taking deposits and granting loans to customers who generally do business in the area of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
 
As of December 31, 2009, the Corporation employed 112 people in full-time and part-time positions.  Fifty-seven (57) employees are represented by the United Auto Workers, Local 1799.  In 2008, the Corporation and bargaining unit employees entered into a labor agreement that will expire in February 2014.
 
The following summary of accounting and reporting policies is presented to aid the reader in obtaining a better understanding of the consolidated financial statements and related financial data of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries contained in this report.  Such policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general practice within the banking industry.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and the evaluation of other than temporary impairment of securities.
 
Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Most of the Corporation’s activities are with customers located within Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.  Note 3 discusses the types of securities that the Corporation invests in.  Note 4 discusses the types of lending that the Corporation engages in.  The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.  Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, exposure to credit loss can be adversely impacted by downturns in local economic and employment conditions.
 
Securities
 
Debt securities are classified as “securities available for sale” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of the related deferred income tax effect.
 
Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.  Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Loans
 
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of associated direct costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Corporation is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.
 
The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing.  A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses.  Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectibility of principal.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income.  Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
 
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated.  Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Corporation’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.
 
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either: doubtful, substandard or special mention.  For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
 
Allowance for Loan Losses  (Continued)
 
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the balance sheet when they are funded.
 
Foreclosed Real Estate
 
Foreclosed real estate is comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and loans classified as in-substance foreclosure.  A loan is classified as in-substance foreclosure when the Bank has taken possession of the collateral regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place.  Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at fair value, net of estimated selling costs, at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis.  After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell.  Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other expenses.  Foreclosed real estate at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $639,000 and $614,000, respectively, and is included in other assets.
 
Intangible Assets
 
The Corporation has amortizable intangible assets related to core deposit intangibles acquired in 2002 through the acquisition of a branch office.  These intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of ten years.  The balance of these amortizable intangible assets at December 31, 2009 was $244,000 net of accumulated amortization of $731,000, which is included in other assets.  Amortization expense of $98,000 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Amortization expense is estimated to be $98,000 in the years ending December 31, 2010, 2011, and $48,000 in 2012.
 
Premises and Equipment
 
Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  For financial statement reporting and income tax purposes, depreciation is computed both on straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful life of the premises and equipment.  Charges for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Amortization is charged over the term of the respective lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.
 
Bank Owned Life Insurance
 
The Corporation invests in bank owned life insurance (BOLI) as a source of funding for employee benefit expenses.  BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Corporation on a chosen group of employees.  The Corporation is the owner and beneficiary of the policies.  This life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies.  Income from the investment in the policies is included in other operating income on the income statement.
 
On January 1, 2008, management adopted provisions of accounting standard for Other post-retirement benefits, related to post retirement split-dollar life insurance benefit provided to select employees and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $431,000 to retained earnings. 
 

 
 
23

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Advertising Costs
 
The Corporation follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.  Total advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $180,000 and $147,000, respectively.
 
Trust Operations
 
Trust income is recorded on the cash basis, which approximates the accrual basis.  Securities and other property held by the Corporation in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers of the Trust Department are not assets of the Corporation and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Assets under management in the trust department totaled $165,163,000 and $165,170,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.  These differences are measured at the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.  The Corporation and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
 
Earnings per Share
 
Basic earnings per share have been calculated on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 2,866,338 in 2009 and 2,949,810 in 2008. The Corporation currently maintains a simple capital structure, thus there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share.
 
Treasury Stock
 
The acquisition of treasury stock is recorded under the cost method.  At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock is reduced by the cost of such stock on the average cost basis, with any excess proceeds being credited to retained earnings.
 
Segment Reporting
 
The Corporation acts as an independent community financial services provider and offers traditional banking and related financial services to individual, business and government customers.  The Corporation offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including the taking of time, savings and demand deposits, the making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans and  providing other financial services.
 
Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial and retail operations of the Corporation.  As such, discrete information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.
 
Statements of Cash Flows
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Corporation has defined cash and cash equivalents as those amounts included in the balance sheet captions, “Cash and due from banks” and “Interest-bearing deposits with banks.”
 
Transfers of Financial Assets
 
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
New Accounting Standards
 

ASU 2010-06

The FASB has issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:
a.  
A reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and

b.  
In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.

In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:
a.  
For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and

b.  
A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of ASU 2010-06 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2009-05

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.  The amendments within ASU 2009-05 clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques:

A valuation technique that uses:
a.  
The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset.

b.  
Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets.

Other valuation techniques that are consistent with the principles of Topic 820 would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability.

When estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability.

Both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after September 30, 2009.  The amendment to ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Corporations consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2009-16

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.  This Update amends the Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.

The amendments in this Update improve financial reporting by eliminating the exceptions for qualifying special-purpose entities from the consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. In addition, the amendments require enhanced disclosures about the risks that a transferor continues to be exposed to because of its continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.  Comparability and consistency in accounting for transferred financial assets will also be improved through clarifications of the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting.

This Update is effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009.  Early application is not permitted. The Corporation anticipates this amendment will have no material impact on our financial statements.


Restricted Investment in Bank Stock

 
Federal law requires the Bank, a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, to hold stock of its district Federal Home Loan Bank according to a predetermined formula.  This restricted stock is carried at cost and as of December 31, 2009, consists of the common stock of FHLB of Pittsburgh.  In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh notified member banks that it was suspending dividend payments and the repurchase of capital stock.
 
The Corporation evaluates impairment in FHLB stock when certain conditions warrant further consideration. In December 2008, the FHLB voluntarily suspended dividend payments on its stock as well as the repurchase of excess stock from members. The FHLB stated that this was due to a reduction in core earnings and concern over the FHLB's capital position. After evaluating such factors as the capital adequacy of the FHLB, its overall operating performance and the FHLB's liquidity and funding position, the Corporation concluded that the par value was ultimately recoverable and no impairment charge was recognized at December 31, 2009.
 
Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB stock as of December 31, 2009. Our evaluation of the factors described above in future periods could result in the recognition of impairment charges on FHLB stock.
 
 
Note 2 - Cash and Due from Banks
 
Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System impose uniform reserve requirements on all depository institutions with transaction accounts and non-personal time deposits.  Reserves are maintained in the form of vault cash or a non-interest bearing balance held with the Federal Reserve Bank.  The Bank also maintains deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank and other banks for various services such as check clearing.  The required reserve at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $100,000 and $242,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2008, no securities held by the Corporation were in unrealized loss position.
 
The Corporation reviews its position quarterly to determine if there is Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI) on any of its securities.   All of the Corporation’s securities are debt securities and we assess whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost basis.  The Corporation monitors the credit ratings of all securities for downgrades as well as any other indication of OTTI condition.  As of December 31, 2009 there were ten municipal bonds in an unrealized loss position.  These unrealized losses are considered to be temporary impairments.  The decline in the value of these debt securities is due only to interest rate fluctuations and not any deterioration in credit quality.  As a result, the Corporation currently expects full payment of contractual cash flows, including principal from these securities. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until market recovery or maturity, therefore none of the unrealized losses on securities are deemed to be other than temporary.

At December 31, 2009, all debt securities with temporarily impaired losses have been rated by Moody’s and/or S&P with an “A” or better debt rating.

Impaired loans with balances of $985,000 and $3,576,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008 had related allowance for loan loss of $119,000 and $215,000, respectively. Interest income on impaired loans of $86,000 and $78,000 was recognized in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $261,000 and $29,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. There were no loan balances past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
 
 
 
Note 6 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, financial standby letters of credit and commitments to purchase securities.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments.  The Corporation does not issue any other instruments with significant off-balance-sheet risk.
 
The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial standby letters of credit written is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments.  The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making such commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.  The following table identifies the contract or notional amount of those instruments:

Note 6 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (Continued)
 
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 obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter party.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
 
Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to secure the performance of a customer to a third party.  The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve months.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments.  The Corporation requires collateral supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary.  The maximum undiscounted exposure related to these commitments at December 31, 2009 was $2,587,000 and the approximate value of underlying collateral upon liquidation that would be expected to cover this maximum potential exposure was $2,084,000.  The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.
 
The Corporation has entered an agreement to purchase municipal securities with a January 2010 settlement date. The corporation’s commitment is $980,000 and the par value of the bonds purchased is  $995,000.

Note 14 - Income Taxes (Continued)
 
The Corporation adopted the revised provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, as of January 1, 2007. The Corporation periodically reviews its tax position and applies a “more likely than not” recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.  The Corporation establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be able to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, or when future deductibility is uncertain. Periodically, the valuation allowance is reviewed and adjusted based on management’s assessment of realizable deferred tax assets.  The Corporation had no unrecognized tax positions at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Note 15 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Corporation adopted FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value.  There was no impact from the adoption of FASB ASC-820 on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC-820 primary impact on the Corporation’s financial statements was to expand required disclosures pertaining to the methods used to determine fair values.
 
FASB ASC-820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC-820 are as follows:
 
Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:  Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

 
For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurement by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2009 are as follows  (in thousands).

Note 15 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
 
We may be required to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.  The Level 3 disclosures shown below represent the carrying value of loans for which adjustments are primarily based on the appraised value of collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows, which often results in significant management assumptions and input with respect to the determination of fair value.  There were no realized or unrealized gains or losses relating to Level 3 financial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis for the year ended December 31 2009 and December 31, 2008.

For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurement by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2009 are as follows  (in thousands).

The decrease in impaired loans from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 is due to changes in two loan relationships. One was upgraded, a  $2.8 million relationship, which had lost a sizable anchor tenant, resulting in a need for restructured terms of repayment.  Since year-end 2008, the borrower has been able to negotiate a favorable lease with a replacement tenant.  The other is a $265,000 loan that was downgraded due to the loan being restructured to interest only.

 
ASC 825-10-65, Transition Related to FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” require disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are as discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below.

Note 15 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating financial instrument fair values:
 
Cash and Short-Term Investments
 
The carrying amounts for cash and short-term investments approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.
 
Securities Available for Sale
 
The Corporation utilizes a third party in determining the fair values for securities held as available for sale.  For the Corporation’s agency mortgage backed securities, the third party utilizes market data, pricing models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information. Methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary modes, vast descriptive terms and conditions.  The third party uses their own proprietary valuation matrices in determining fair values for municipal bonds.  These matrices utilize comprehensive municipal bond interest rate tables daily to determine market price, movement and yield relationships.
 
Restricted Investments in Bank Stock
 
The carrying amounts of restricted investments in bank stock approximate the estimated fair value of such assets.
 
Loans Receivable
 
Fair values of variable rate loans subject to frequent repricing and which entail no significant credit risk are based on the carrying values.  The estimated fair values of other loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
 
Deposits
 
For deposits which are payable on demand at the reporting date, representing all deposits other than time deposits, management estimated that the carrying value of such deposits is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  Fair values of time deposits are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered and a schedule of aggregate expected maturities.
 
Short-Term Borrowings
 
The carrying amounts for short-term borrowings approximate the estimated fair value of such liabilities.
 
Long-Term Borrowings
 
Fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently available for borrowings with similar terms and maturity.
 
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
 
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
 
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and for outstanding letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit worthiness of the counterparties.

Note 16 - Related Party Transactions
 
Some of the Corporation's or the Bank’s directors, principal officers, and their related interests had transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business.  All loans and loan commitments in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including collateral and interest rates, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others.  In the opinion of management, these transactions with related parties do not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.  It is anticipated that further such extensions of credit will be made in the future.  The aggregate amount outstanding to these directors and principal officers was approximately $209,000 and $466,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  During 2009, advances totaled $14,000 and repayments were $271,000.
 
The Corporation purchased all of the stock of Ridge Properties, Inc. on June 6, 2008. The only assets of Ridge Properties, Inc. consist of 131,760 shares of Commercial National Financial Corporation common stock and sufficient cash to pay the estimated tax liabilities of Ridge Properties, Inc. for the period from July 1, 2007, through the closing date of the stock purchase.  The purchase price for Ridge Properties, Inc. was $1,317,600.  For financial reporting and federal tax purposes, Ridge Properties, Inc. will be treated as a part of Commercial National’s consolidated group, and for financial reporting purposes the shares of Commercial National owned by Ridge Properties, Inc. will be treated as treasury shares. The repurchase that occurred with the acquisition of Ridge Properties, Inc. is not part of the Corporation’s approved stock buyback program.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
 
Note 17 - Capital Requirements and Regulatory Restrictions
 
The Bank is subject to legal limitations on the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Corporation.  The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts the payment of dividends, generally to the extent of its retained earnings.
 
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weighting and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the tables below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2009, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
 
As of December 31, 2009, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.  There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed those categories.
 
The following table presents the risk-based and leverage capital amounts and ratios at December 31, 2009 and 2008 for Commercial Bank & Trust of PA:
