Item 1. BUSINESS

 

Description of Business

Commercial National Financial Corporation (the corporation) is a Pennsylvania corporation and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended and as a financial holding company under the Gramm Leach Bliley Act. The corporation is owner of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania. This subsidiary bank and has been providing banking services since 1934. At the present time, two (2) banking offices are in operation in Latrobe, two (2) in Unity Township and one (1) each in Ligonier, West Newton, Greensburg, Murrysville and Hempfield Township. An asset management/trust department was established in 1994 and is located in the building that houses the Greensburg banking office. All of these offices are within the boundaries of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. In addition, the building which houses the downtown Latrobe banking office is the location of the corporation's and the bank's executive and administrative offices. The institution's operations center is located at the Latrobe Plaza in downtown Latrobe. This operations center also houses an in-house data processing system.

Each of the banking offices, except for downtown Latrobe and Greensburg, is equipped with twenty-four-hour-a-day automatic teller machines and ATM units are located on the campus of Saint Vincent College in Unity Township, the terminal of the Westmoreland County Airport in Unity Township, the reception lobby of the Latrobe Area Hospital in Latrobe, an in-store machine in each the Norvelt Open Pantry and New Alexandria Qwik Mart and the lobby of the Kirk S. Nevin Arena located in Greensburg. A separate freestanding drive-up teller staffed banking facility is attached to the Lincoln Road office in downtown Latrobe. This facility also provides ATM service.

The corporation's business activities involve holding the stock of its subsidiary bank and Commercial National Investment Corporation, which is a 50% owner of Commercial National Insurance Services together with the Gooder Agency, Inc., of Ligonier, Pennsylvania. Commercial National Insurance Services offers a full array of insurance products and services to consumer and commercial markets surrounding the Ligonier area.

 

The subsidiary bank offers the full range of banking services normally associated with the general commercial banking business. Services include extending credit, providing deposit services, marketing non-deposit investments and offering financial counseling. The ATM system described earlier is a part of the MAC and Cirrus networks which permits the bank's customers access to an extensive regional and national network. The bank also has implemented a comprehensive electronic online banking system. By using a personal computer with internet access, customers can access their Commercial National Bank accounts, perform common banking tasks and pay bills 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year .


 

Competition

 

Throughout the subsidiary bank's service area, substantial competition exists both for deposit and loan products. The competitors range from branches of major banks headquartered in Cleveland Ohio, Pittsburgh, Johnstown and Indiana, Pennsylvania, several independent banks headquartered in Westmoreland County, a variety of thrift institutions and a number of credit unions. Even though some portions of the thrift industry have experienced fairly extensive restructuring, the level of competitive activity in our service area remains strong. Competition for certificates of deposit and money market deposits remains vigorous with the representatives of insurance companies and securities brokers soliciting customers in our market area. In addition, out-of-area institutions including retailers continue to solicit business for credit cards, residential mortgages and automobile financing.

 

Supervision and Regulation

 

 

The corporation and the subsidiary bank are subject to the supervision of the following regulatory bodies: The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The nature of the supervision extends to such areas as safety and soundness, truth-in-lending, truth-in-savings, rate restrictions, consumer protection, permissible loan and securities activities, merger and acquisition limitations, reserve requirements, dividend payments and regulations concerning activities by corporate officers and directors. The Federal Reserve Board monitors holding company activity while the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is the corporation's primary banking regulator. No restrictions or actions are currently pending against the corporation or the bank.




 






 The GLB, enacted by Congress in November 1999, now permits bank holding companies with subsidiary banks meeting certain capital and management requirements to elect to become "financial holding companies". Beginning in March 2000, financial
holding companies may engage in a full range of financial activities, including not only banking, insurance and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional activities determined to be "financial in nature". GLB also provides
that the list of permissible activities will be expanded as necessary for a financial holding company to keep abreast of competitive and technological change. The corporation was designated a financial holding company in March 2000 by the Federal Reserve
Board.






 






 Although it preserves the Federal Reserve Board as the umbrella supervisor of financial holding companies, GLB adopts an administrative approach to regulation that defers to the approval and supervisory requirements of the functional regulators of
insurers and insurance agents, broker-dealers, investment companies, and banks. Thus, the various state and federal regulators of a financial holding company's operating subsidiaries would retain their jurisdiction and authority over the operating
entities. As the umbrella supervisor, however, the Federal Reserve Board has the potential to affect the operations and activities of financial holding companies' subsidiaries through its power over the financial holding company. In addition, GLB contains
numerous trigger points related to legal noncompliance and other serious problems affecting bank affiliates that could lead to direct Federal Reserve Board involvement and to the possible exercise of remedial authority affecting both financial holding
companies and their affiliated operating companies.






 



 


Effects of Governmental Policies

 

In addition to the regulatory requirements, the corporation and its subsidiary bank are affected by the national economy and the influence on that economy exerted by governmental bodies through monetary and fiscal policies and their efforts to implement such policies. In particular, the impact of the open market operations on interest rates, the establishment of reserve requirements and the setting of the discount rate will continue to affect business volumes and earnings. The exact nature or the full extent of this impact is almost impossible to predict; however, management continues to monitor these activities on a regular basis and seeks to modify its policies and procedures accordingly.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

As of December 31, 2001, the corporation, the subsidiary bank and other subsidiaries of the corporation had a total of 122 full-time-equivalent employees.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations

Information appearing in the annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 on page 22 is incorporated herein by reference in response to this item.

 

Item 7.a Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk




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 that monitor and coordinate the corporation's sources, uses
and pricing of funds. The committee is also involved with management in the corporation's planning and budgeting process.






 






The corporation regularly reviews its exposure to changes in interest rates. Among the factors considered are changes in the mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, interest rate spreads and repricing periods. Typically, the committee
reviews on at least a quarterly basis the bank subsidiary's relative ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities and the related cumulative gap for different time periods. Additionally, the committee and management utilize a simulation
model in assessing the corporation's interest rate sensitivity.






 






This simulation modeling process projects a baseline net interest income (assuming no changes in interest rate levels) and estimates changes to that baseline net interest income resulting from changes in interest rate levels. The corporation utilized 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 which 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 more
accurately project the corporation's changes in net interest income resulting from an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates of up 100 basis points (bps), up 200 bps, down 100 bps and down 200 bps. While the corporation believes this
model provides a useful projection of its interest rate risk, the model includes a number of assumptions and predictions which may or may not be accurate. These assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute baseline net interest income, growth
rates, competition and a variety of other factors that are difficult to accurately predict. Accordingly, there can be no assurance the simulation model will reflect future results.






 







The following table presents the simulation model's projected impact of an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates on the projected baseline net interest income for a twelve month period commencing January 1,2001.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Commercial National Financial Corporation

and Subsidiaries

Latrobe, Pennsylvania

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of Commercial National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes 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, 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our Commitment To Those We Serve

 

In detailing the elements of our mission, the significant components must be equally ranked regardless of their order of presentation since substantial progress can be achieved only as these elements interact harmoniously to advance the mission of the corporation.

 

Our mission is to acquire, organize and manage the resources required to offer personalized and professional financial services in a manner that demonstrates our concern for understanding and meeting the needs of the individuals, families business and other organizations in our marketplace.

 

In fulfilling our mission, we give constant consideration to the well-being of our employees, not only in terms of economic benefit, but also by guaranteeing a working environment that...

 

-          encourages personal and professional development

-          fosters individual dignity and

-          demands the highest ethical standards

 

...so that each employee can experience a sense of satisfaction in and personal identity with the accomplishments we achieve together.

 

Our responsibility to the areas we are privileged to serve requires our involvement as a corporation, as well as a commitment by our employees and directors, to respond to community development and improvement needs a continual investment of both time and funds.

 

All of our activities are carefully planned and professionally conducted to provide our shareholders with a reasonable and regular profit so that their ongoing investment will constantly increase in value.
To Our Shareholders

 

With another year having passed, I am pleased to report on the activities of your company during 2000. We posted near-record earnings rivaling those achieved in 1998, a clear indication that our core financial condition and performance remained solid even after experiencing an income decline in 1999 that resulted from a commercial loan charge-off. The comeback in 2000 also was helped by undertaking a number of initiatives and by the hard work and dedication of our employees who implemented them.

 

In March 2000, the Federal Reserve Board designated Commercial National Financial Corporation as a "financial holding company," giving us flexibility to provide products and services to our customers.

 

Commercial National Insurance Services, in which the company holds a 50 percent interest, completed its first full year of operation. During that time we saw client volume increase, which subsequently grew the associated commission revenues. By offering insurance services to those we serve, we can give customers the benefit of "one-stop shopping" for financial needs. The insurance agency's Website at www.cnbinsurance.com further enables customers to review products and services any time.

 

The Asset Management and Trust Division of Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania continued its outstanding performance in the past year. The division now manages more than $100 million in assets, the highest volume since its 1994 formation, helping to continue its trend of double-digit growth of revenue, which amounted to more than $449,000 in 2000. Also during the year, trust division clients were given the ability to view accounts online via the bank's Website at www.cnbthebank.com. Accounts are updated weekly to provide reasonably current information.

 

The company's Online Banking product continued to grow in popularity among customers with marked expansion noticeable in both the number of enrollments and transaction volume. A free demonstration of Online Banking, available at the bank's Website, helps introduce and familiarize viewers with this convenient system.

 

As should be evident from this report, much of our most recent advancement has come about largely through the use of technology. We believe that alternative methods of service delivery will continue to be in demand, and so we seek to provide customers with a variety of channels by which they may do business. Of course, we regularly review the technology landscape to offer our customers the latest innovations available, provided that the benefit to the company is worth the investment.

 

We look forward to a very busy year in 2001 when many of the initiatives previously described will continue to flourish as we lay the groundwork for an even more productive future.

 

The support you give as shareholders -- to both the corporation and its staff -- is greatly appreciated. We value the opportunity you have given us to work on your behalf.

President and Chief Executive Officer

 


 

In year 2000 ,

we returned to

"business as usual"

after an earlier

business downturn in 1999 ...

 

... that resulted from the default on sizeable borrowings made to a single commercial account. During 2000, however, the corporation moved aggressively to overcome that decline and continued to carefully build new business.

 

Audited earnings for the year of $4,631,512, for a record $1.32 per share, were up considerably from the $3,203,605 or $0.90 per share realized in 1999. An especially strong fourth-quarter generated earnings of $1.36 million, also a company record.

 

As indicated by the information in the following pages, the core financial standing of Commercial National Financial Corporation remains strong, the company remains heavily capitalized and it continues to maintain adequate reserves for the years ahead.

 

Despite a volatile market,

the business stayed strong.

 

In spite of some depreciation in the year-end share price to $14.63, Commercial National Financial Corporation (traded as CNAF on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.) was not alone in experiencing such an effect as most other "old market" financial services had similar results through 2000. During the year, stock traded at prices ranging from a low of $13.25 per share to a high of $19.75. Further affecting the performance, we believe, was the "irrational exuberance" in the market with a bias toward high-tech investments, a bent that later proved to be misguided.

 

Nevertheless, the dividend payout on shares owned by Commercial National investors improved again in 2000, increasing by more than 13 percent from $0.60 per share paid in 1999 to $0.68 per share this year.

 

Although non-interest-bearing deposits held by the company actually grew by 18 percent, a slip of nearly 6 percent in the larger category of interest-bearing funds resulted in an overall 2.3 percent decline in total deposits. By December 31, total deposits managed by the corporation had receded to $266.6 million from $272.9 million in 1999.

 

This deposit shift we attribute to a continuation of highly competitive pricing in a rising-rate environment (during the first half) and the maturity of numerous "jumbo" certificates of deposit, those valued at $100,000 or more. Consumers also seemed to maintain a preference for investing through nontraditional service providers. Despite the potential -- and later, obvious -- risks of a market with such high volatility, deposits here still showed outflow into other investments.

 

The loan portfolio at Commercial National grew by a bit more than 1 percent in 2000 to nearly $208 million from $204.8 million last year. Most of that growth resulted from a $9.4 million surge in the company's commercial-loan segments. Tax-free loans -- those on which our interest income is nontaxable because they're made to governmental and nonprofit agencies -- showed a dramatic jump from $4.3 million in 1999 to $7.1 million in 2000.

 

Purchase-mortgage and home-equity loan categories both posted slight growth for the year while totals for construction mortgages and installment loans actually declined. Vigorous loan activity in the first half of the year helped offset the February sale of the company's $6.3 million credit-card portfolio.

 

Interest income for 2000 totaled $26.1 million at year-end, up more than $1.7 million or about 7 percent from the $24.3 million earned a year earlier. Concurrently, however, interest expense rose by $1.7 million to $11.7 million from $10 million last year, a 17 percent increase. As a result, net interest income of $14.3 million was up by only $61,000 or less than 1 percent from that realized in 1999.

 

Because of substantial growth in the commercial loan portfolio, the company reevaluated its loan-review process and increased the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. The allowance increased by about $817,000 over that allowed in 1999 to equal 1.32 percent of total loans compared to 0.94 percent at the end of last year. Charge-offs against the allowance declined significantly to $358,741 from the $3,284,427 incurred in the prior year, a change that calculated net charge-offs at only 0.17 percent for 2000 compared to the 1.69 percent realized in 1999, both figures considerably lower than those of similarly sized banks nationwide.

 

Other operating income of $2.36 million was up 19 percent from the $1.99 million earned last year. Contributing to the improvement were a 47 percent increase in income from the Asset Management and Trust Division, a nearly 10 percent increase in general service charges and fees, and a 3.5 percent growth in service charges collected on deposit accounts. Such improvement is evidence of a conscientious effort to further diversify revenue streams.

The return on average assets, after taxes, improved to 1.32 percent from the 0.95 percent return posted for the preceding year. The substantial change principally is attributed to the 1999 decline in return on average assets that resulted from the commercial loan charge-off.

 

Total assets of the corporation dropped to $329.9 million at the end of 2000 from $355.3 million a year prior, a 7 percent change due primarily to the general economic slowdown and a restructuring of the firm's investment portfolio, including the retirement of long-term debt.

 

Service and technology were maintained as our 2000 watchwords.

As year 2000 arrived, Commercial National experienced no disruption of business whatsoever, in spite of many dire predictions. Our "Year 2000 Committee" obviously had devoted the appropriate time and resources to avoid any threat of a shutdown. The arrival of the New Year without incident quietly reinforced what we had been telling customers all along - that Commercial National indeed was "Y2K-OK."

 

Understanding that no single delivery channel could keep the corporation successful, our management team determined that 2000 would be a true example of blending "high tech" electronics with "high touch" personal-service .

 

During the year, staff at the nine community offices of Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania worked closely with agents from Commercial National Insurance Services, a partnership of Gooder & Mary, Inc. and Commercial National Investment Corporation. Together, their efforts generated additional business for the company as they provided customers with a wider array of financial services, all available from a single location. Plans were begun to blend insurance services offerings into standard marketing materials in 2001, attempting to reach an even broader audience.

 

Excellent growth in our Asset Management and Trust Division enabled that group to become self-sustaining much sooner than we had anticipated. Typically such units require ten years to generate net income. Ours, on the other hand, became productive in its sixth year, managing more than $100 million by year's end. Mutual fund sales company-wide grew by more than 35 percent.

 

By the end of the year, more than 350 Commercial National customers had become regular users of the company's Online Banking service. System users can check account balances, transfer funds, print reports and even pay bills electronically to virtually any vendor. Online customers averaged about 800 bill-pay transactions each month during the year.

 

Additionally, Web surfers continued to use the Internet site, www.cnbthebank.com, which makes available product information, rates and loan calculators for anyone, anywhere, 24 hours a day. By the end of the year, users had logged onto the system for more than 106,000 sessions, which consists of one visit during which several pages of the site are viewed.

 

Another electronic-access system, the Commercial National Bank TouchTone Teller, also handled a great deal of business in 2000. On average, calls to the service each month tallied more than 18,000. Callers checked balances, inquired about the status of a particular checks, transferred funds between accounts and more. Such a system has allowed our staff to focus on more substantial business instead of handling more routine but easily resolved inquiries.

 

Finally, by December 2000, we had installed and gone live with our first platform automation installations, a service that enables community office staff to open accounts more efficiently by doing it directly online. The procedure saves money for the corporation by saving time for the customer and our staff.

 

 


We know good people

build a good company.

 

Recognizing that our employees make the company what it is, we presented two Chairman's Awards in 2000 to individuals who consistently performed above the expectations of their jobs. They were ...

-- Eleanor A. Bridge

Operations Specialist

Bank Operations Center

... who was acknowledged in March for coordinating the elements required to effect the sale of our credit-card loan portfolio. By doing it so efficiently, she enabled the company to realize a positive impact on its financial condition and performance.

 

In November, another Chairman's Award was presented to ...

--Patricia A. Queer

Assistant Manager

Ligonier Community Office

... for the record-breaking number of referrals made to the Asset Management and Trust Division. She proved to be the top referral source for the group this year, helping it to develop several new relationships and capture more than $2 million in new business.

 

The year was a good one.

 

In the face of difficult times, our Commercial National managers and staff again managed well and improved the business so that investments of our shareholders could perform well and so that our communities could remain vibrant. We're working every day to make banking - and life - even easier for all we're privileged to serve.

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 National Bank of Pennsylvania (the bank) and Commercial National Investment Corporation. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

The bank operates under a national 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 Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. 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.

 

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 subsidiaries contained in this report. Such policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general practice within the banking industry. In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Certain items of the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 have been reclassified to conform with the December 31, 2000 presentation. None of these reclassifications affected net income.

 

Securities:

Debt securities that the corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "securities held to maturity" and are reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities not classified as held to maturity 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 stockholders' equity. Premiums and discounts are recognized as interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

 

Net gain or loss on the sale of securities is determined using the specific identification method.

 

 


COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

36177: 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 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.

 

Loan fees:

Loan origination and commitment fees, net of associated direct costs, are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment to the related loan yield on the interest method, generally over the contractual life of the related loans or commitments.

 

Other real estate owned :

Foreclosed real estate is composed of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and loans classified as in-substance foreclosure when the bank has taken possession of the collateral, regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place. Foreclosed assets initially are 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 form operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other expenses.

 

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 change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

36461: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Allowance for loan losses (continued):

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the association 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Advertising costs:

The corporation follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising expense as incurred. Total advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $72,000, $115,000 and $122,000, respectively.

 

Income taxes:

Certain income and expense items are accounted for in different years for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided to recognize these temporary differences. The principal items involved are investment securities, employee benefit plans, provision for loan losses, net deferred loan fees and costs and depreciation. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax expense is not proportionate to earnings before taxes, principally because a portion of revenues from obligations of states and political subdivisions are nontaxable.

Earnings per share:

Earnings per share have been calculated on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 3,511,603 in 2000, 3,578,894 shares in 1999 and 3,600,000 shares in 1998. The weighted average number of shares outstanding has been adjusted for the effect of a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend for 1998.

 

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 additional paid-in capital.

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the corporation has defined cash and cash equivalents as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption, "Cash and due from banks on demand".

 

New accounting standards:

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133 (as amended by Statement Nos. 137 and 138), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement and its amendments establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure them at fair value. The statement requires that changes in the fair value of derivatives be recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The corporation is required to adopt the statement on January 1, 2001. The adoption of the statement did not have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the corporation.

37023: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

New accounting standards (continued):

In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This statement replaces SFAS No. 125 of the same name. It revises the standards of securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but carries over most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125 without reconsideration. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. This statement is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Other than these exceptions, earlier or retroactive application of its accounting provision is not permitted. The adoption of the statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the corporation.

37109: CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS ON DEMAND

 

Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System impose uniform reserve requirements on all depository institutions with transaction accounts (checking accounts, NOW accounts, etc.) and non-personal time deposits (deposits with original maturities of 14 days or more). 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 average required reserve at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $ 3,370,000 and $ 2,549,000, respectively.

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 commercial letters of credit. 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, financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit written is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The following table identifies the contract or notional amount of those instruments:

1,400,131

 

1,787,191

Financial standby letters of credit

 

3,462,355

 

4,154,814

 

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.

 

Standby letters of credit, financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Below are various estimated fair values at December 31, 2000 and 1999, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (FAS 107). Such information, which pertains to the corporation's financial instruments, is based on the requirements set forth in FAS 107 and does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the corporation. It is the corporation's general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity, except for certain securities designated as securities available for sale, and not to engage in trading activities. Many of the financial instruments lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Therefore, the corporation had to use significant estimations and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure.

 

Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and the methodologies in absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

 

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:

Fair values for securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED )

 

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. The carrying amount of accrued interest is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Deposit liabilities:

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. The carrying amounts of variable rate time deposit accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the report date. Fair values of fixed rate time deposits are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered and a schedule of aggregate expected maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

 

Short-term borrowings:

The carrying amounts for short-term borrowings approximate the estimated fair value of such liabilities.

 

Accrued interest receivable and payable:

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

 

Long-term borrowings:

Fair values of fixed rate borrowings are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the corporation's estimated incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements

Many of the corporation's off-balance-sheet instruments, primarily loan commitments and standby letters of credit, are expected to expire without being drawn upon, therefore, the commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Management has determined that due to the uncertainties of cash flows and difficulty in predicting the timing of such cash flows, fair values were not estimated for these instruments

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Some of the corporation's or the bank's directors, principal officers, principal stockholders and their related interests had transactions with the bank in the ordinary course of business during 2000. All loans and commitments to loans in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including collateral and interest rates, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions. In the opinion of management, these transactions 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 of credit extended to these directors and principal officers was approximately $ 3,439,165 and $ 7,218,856 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

During 2000, the corporation had loan advances to certain directors which, when aggregated with loans existing prior to January 1, 2000, caused their aggregate loan balances to exceed $ 60,000. Therefore, the balance at January 1, 2000 was adjusted to reflect these directors' loan additions.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

 

The corporation and the bank are 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 corporation and 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 I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, that the corporation and the bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

54447: CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS (CONTINUED)

 

As of December 31, 2000, 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 I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed those categories.

The amount of funds available to a parent from its subsidiary bank is limited for all national banks by restrictions imposed by the Comptroller of the Currency. Dividends from the bank were restricted to a maximum of $ 3,850,000 at December 31, 2000. These restrictions have not had, and are not expected to have, a significant impact on the corporation's ability to meet its cash obligations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

 

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Commercial National Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries

Latrobe, Pennsylvania

 

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of Commercial National Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Commercial National Financial Corporation for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated January 28, 2000, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

 

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

In our opinion, the 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, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT ON FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

The management of Commercial National Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania and Commercial National Investment Corporation, is responsible for the preparation, content and integrity of the financial statements contained in this annual report and all other information in the other sections of the annual report, including amounts that must necessarily be based on management's judgements and estimates. Management believes that the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis to reflect, in all material respects, the substance of events and transactions that should be included, and that the other information in the annual report is consistent with those financial statements. In meeting its responsibility for the reliability of the financial statements, management depends upon the corporation's accounting system and related internal accounting controls. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with management's authorization. This system is augmented by written policies and procedures and by examinations performed by our internal audit staff which reports to the Board of Directors through the Board's Audit Committee.

 

The appointment of the independent certified public accountants for the corporation and its subsidiaries is recommended by the Audit Committee, approved by the Board of Directors and ratified by the shareholders of the corporation. The Audit Committee, composed solely of outside directors, meets on a scheduled basis with the internal auditors and, as requested with the independent auditors to discuss and review the scope and findings of their respective audits. The independent auditors and the internal auditors each have full access to the Audit Committee, without management present, to discuss internal acc ounting control, accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

Introduction

 

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 Commercial National Financial Corporation (the corporation) for the years ending on December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the years under review.

 

In November 1998, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend to shareholders of record as of December 15, 1998. All per share data has been restated to allow meaningful comparison with prior periods.

 

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net income for 2000 was $4,631,512, compared to $3,203,605 in 1999 and $4,640,886 in 1998. Earnings per share were $1.32 in 2000 compared to 1999's earnings of $.90 and $1.29 in 1998. The significant difference in net income and earnings per share resulted from the charge of $2,619,706 taken when a single commercial customer defaulted on borrowings. The after-tax effect of the loss decreased 1999 income by $1,729,006.

 

Return on average assets was 1.32% in 2000, .95% in 1999 and 1.46% in 1998. For the same years return on average equity was 11.21%, 7.50% and 11.47%, respectively. Return on average assets and return on average equity for 1999 were adversely affected by the previously described charge-off.

 

Net Interest Income

 

The largest segment of earnings is represented by net interest income which is calculated by deducting the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities from the interest received on interest-earning assets. In 2000, net interest income was $14,350,887 compared to $14,289,276 in 1999 and $13,348,511 in 1998. The return on earning assets, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, equaled 8.08% in 2000 compared to 7.94% in 1999 and 8.20% in 1998. The cost-of- funds rate was 4.47% in 2000, 4.00% in 1999 and 4.35% in 1998. The increase in 2000 was due to rising rates that were associated with an overheating economy through most of the year. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 4.60% in 2000, 4.82% in 1999 and 4.78% in 1998. Higher cost of funding in a rising rate environment coupled with the loss of ongoing interest income from the credit card loan portfolio sale were the major contributing factors to a lower net interest margin in 2000.

 

 

Average earning assets grew $15,195,803 in 2000, $18,875,552 in 1999 and $20,956,507 in 1998. Loan growth in the first half of the year offset the sale of the credit card portfolio and contributed heavily towards the increase in average earning assets over 1999.

 

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $11,740,155 in 2000, $13,088,953 in 1999 and $15,869,057 in 1998. Funding needed to support loan growth in 2000 was primarily led by average increases in long-term debt from the Federal Home Loan Bank and time deposits.

The provision for loan losses is the amount added to the allowance against which actual loan losses are charged. The amount of the provision is determined by an analysis of the loan portfolio's size, quality and risk potential as compared to the size of the allowance itself. The amount of the provision was $1,176,000 in 2000, $3,289,706 in 1999 and $435,000 in 1998. During 2000, the corporation implemented and completed additional enhancements of loan review and allowance for loan losses adequacy. The allowance increased by approximately $800,000 over 1999 while total loans increased only $440,000. For each of the same years the net charge-off against the allowance for loan losses was $358,741, $3,284,427 and $403,077, respectively. On December 31, 2000 the allowance for loan losses equaled 1.32% of total loans compared to .94% at the end of 1999 and 1.00% at the end of 1998. Loans that were past due 90 days or more, or were on non-accrual equaled .39% of total loans on December 31, 2000, 0.58% on December 31, 1999 and 0.22% on December 31, 1998. The corporation's policy is to place loans on a non-accrual basis when they become 90 days past due provided that the loan is well collateralized and gives evidence of a reasonable likelihood for full collection. During the review of the loan portfolio, management did not note any trends such as industry uncertainties that raise concerns regarding future adverse impact on operating results, liquidity or capital resources.


 

Other Operating Income and Expense

 

Total other operating income for 2000 of $2,364,918 increased by $379,698 from the $1,985,220 earned in 1999. The year was productive for our Asset Management and Trust Division as the unit added new products and services, resulting in the addition of numerous new clients. Those efforts generated asset management and trust income of $448,708, up from last year by $143,710. Service charges on deposit accounts grew $24,332 to $716,231. Other service charges and fees increased by $60,945 to $677,756. Net losses on sold investments amounted to $691,700. To ensure earnings stability in future years, the bank repositioned the investment portfolio to take advantage of higher yields available in the bond market. Other income increased by $492,471 to $1,213,923, including a premium of $822,875 received by the bank for the sale of its credit-card loan portfolio which was utilized to offset securities portfolio restructuring costs. In 1998, total other operating income was $1,733,090.

 

Total other operating expense in 2000 amounted to $9,489,023, and increase of $194,942 over the $9,294,081 logged in 1999. A commitment by management to control operating expense helped hold the increase to a minimal 2 percent. Accounting for a majority of the increase, $177,507 was expensed for furniture and equipment requiring annual maintenance and upgrades. Personnel expense, accounting for more than 50% of total non-interest expense, actually decreased $2,619. The change is attributed to savings realized by incentive compensation accrual reductions due to the bank not reaching the specified goals required to trigger certain aspects of the incentive performance plan. Net occupancy expense increased by a modest $7,975. Pennsylvania shares tax increased $37,496 over 1999 while other operating expense decreased $25,4172. Total other operating expense in 1998 was $8,540,644.

 

Income tax expense was $1,419,270 in 2000, $487,104 in 1999 and $1,465,071 in 1998. The effective tax rate was 23.46%, 13.20% and 23.99%, respectively. The reason for 1999's lower effective tax rate was related to the write-off of loans held by one large commercial account.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity measurements attempt to evaluate the corporation's ability to meet the cash-flow needs of its depositors and borrowers. The primary source of liquidity is deposit growth. Additional liquidity is provided by the maturity of investments in loans and securities and the 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 Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. The FHLB provides an additional source for liquidity for long- and short-term funding. Other supplemental external sources have been established for short-term funding.

 

On December 31, 2000, total deposits were $6,336,033 less than on December 31, 1999. Interest bearing deposits decreased $13,828,976 in 2000 while demand deposits increased $7,492,943. The decrease in interest bearing deposits was attributed to competitive pricing in a rising rate environment and maturities of jumbo certificates of deposit.

 

The amortized cost of the corporation's securities portfolio was $103,045,461 on December 31, 2000. On that same date, the estimated market value of the entire securities portfolio was $104,703,464 which was higher than amortized cost by $1,658,003 and represented the net of $2,011,828 gross unrealized gains less $353,825 gross unrealized losses.

 

For December 31, the corporation had available funding of approximately $163,000,000 at the FHLB with an additional $30,000,000 of short-term funding available through federal funds lines of credit.

Interest Sensitivity

 

One of the desired goals of investment management is to achieve a balance between the need for consistent income growth and the risks inherent in achieving a portion of that income through managed maturity imbalances between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These relationships are generally so complex that exact measurement of the impact of interest rate changes is virtually impossible. However, an indication of an institution's vulnerability to such changes can be roughly gauged through the measurement and analysis of the so-called "gap" or the difference between the dollar volumes of assets and liabilities eligible for repricing within a variety of time periods. When the amount of the assets so defined is greater than the liabilities, the gap is labeled positive and the institution's interest rate spread will widen and earnings will respond favorably to a general rise in interest rates. The opposite relationship produces a negative gap and the interest rate spread will increase and earnings will show a favorable response in a declining rate environment.

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 our loan review staff. These reviews include the analysis of credit quality, diversification of industry, compliance to policies and procedures, and an analysis of current economic conditions.

 

In the management of its credit portfolio, the corporation emphasizes the importance of the collection of loans as well as asset and earnings diversification. The corporation immediately recognizes as a loss, all credits judged to be uncollectible and has established an allowance for loan losses that may exist in the loan portfolio at a point in time, but have not been specifically identified.

 

For analytical purposes, the following table sets forth an allocation of the allowance for loan losses on December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 according to the categories indicated:

Capital Resources

 

 

Shareholders' equity increased $3,733,024 during 2000 and was $43,136,917 on December 31, 2000 compared to $39,403,893 on December 31, 1999. Net unrealized gains on securities available for sale on December 31, 2000 temporarily increased shareholders' equity by $1,094,282. The corporation's stock repurchase program reduced shareholders' equity in 2000 by $1,416,902.

 

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.

 

On December 31, 2000, the corporation's capital (not including the allowance for loan losses) amounted to $43,136,917 or 13.08% of total assets. The inclusion of the allowance increases the capital ratio to 13.91%. On the same basis of calculation, these ratios were 11.09% and 11.63% respectively on December 31, 1999.

 

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, 2000, the corporation had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted asset ratios of 21.35% and 22.61%, respectively. The leverage ratio was 12.47%. At December 31, 1999, the corporation had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted assets ratios of 19.87% and 20.80%, respectively.

Inflation and Changing Prices

 

Inflation can have significance 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 day to day operations. Because 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 dislocation caused by maturity variances. Management efforts to gauge and control these variables have been discussed earlier under rate sensitivity. The inflationary effect on non-interest expenses is monitored closely by management and consistent attention is given to controlling these cost areas in an attempt to limit their increase to levels which are lower than the rate of asset growth .

 

Assessment of Future Environment

 

Management has not identified nor is aware of any internal matter or external condition, including potential regulatory recommendations, which could have a critical impact on the corporation's ability to continue its present business activities or adversely impair future operating results. The Year 2000 came and went with no significant issues reported.

 

Certain 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.
