COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA (the‘Bank”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. However, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2006, including the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial position as of June 30, 2007 and the results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2 Allowance for Loan Losses

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 management through an evaluation of the size and quality of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, concentrations of credit, recent loan loss trends, delinquencies and other risks inherent within the loan portfolio.

The Corporation recorded a $90,000 provision for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. By comparison, during the Corporation’s first six months of 2006, the provision was $60,000.

Note 4 Legal Proceedings

Other than proceedings that occur in the normal course of business, there are no legal proceedings to which either the Corporation or the bank subsidiary is a party, which in the opinion of management, will have any material effect on the financial position of the Corporation and its subsidiary.

Note 5 Guarantees

The Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to secure the performance of a customer to a third party. Of these letters of credit, $602,000 automatically renews within the next twelve months and $2.7 million will expire within thirteen to one hundred and forty-six months. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2007 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 6 Earnings per share

The Corporation has a simple capital structure. Basic earnings per share equals net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during each period presented.


Note 7 New Accounting Standards 

EITF 06-10

In March 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-10 “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements” (EITF 06-10). EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact of EITF 06-10 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

New Accounting Standards continued 


EITF 06-4

In September 2006, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, "Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-4"). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee's benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee's active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee's retirement. Alternatively, if the policy holder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The disclosures are required in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe that the implementation of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 159

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115." SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for our Company January 1, 2008. The Corporation is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements. 

FAS 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FASB Statement No. 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “to,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information currently available to the Corporation, and the Corporation assumes no obligation to update these statements as circumstances change. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and financial market conditions, unforeseen credit problems, and the Corporation’s ability to execute its business plans. The actual results of future events could differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements herein.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Disclosure of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Annual Report). Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring that significant judgments, estimates and assumptions be made by management. Additional information is contained in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the 2006 Annual Report for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.

Significant estimates are made by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. Management considers a variety of factors in establishing these estimates, including current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, financial and managerial strengths of borrowers, adequacy of collateral (if collateral dependent) and other relevant factors. Estimates related to the value of collateral also have a significant impact on whether or not the Corporation continues to accrue income on delinquent loans and on the amounts at which foreclosed real estate is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Management discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates and related Management and Discussion and Analysis disclosure with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. There were no material changes made to the critical accounting estimates during the periods presented within.

OVERVIEW

The Corporation had net income of $1.5 million, or $0.48 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.3 million or $0.42 per share for the same period ended a year ago. The Corporation’s return on average assets for six months ended 2007 and 2006 was 0.87% and 0.84% respectively. Return on average equity for the same two periods was 7.85% and 6.77%, respectively.

The Corporation purchased 362,113 shares of its own common stock in the first quarter of 2006; costs associated with this purchase were $180,000. The legal and professional costs associated with this purchase were $150,000. In addition, the Corporation incurred additional director and miscellaneous costs of $30,000, as a result of the due diligence process prior to the stock purchase. The Corporation recognized $131,000 in interest income in the second quarter of 2006, due to the payoff of one loan that had been in non-accrual status and the upgrade of another non-accrual loan.

The Corporation’s largest segment of operating results is dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is interest earned on interest-earning assets less interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, net interest income was $5.9 million, with 2006 benefiting from the $131,000 in interest income due to payoff and change of status of non-accrual loans, noted in paragraph above.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation’s total assets decreased by $9.8 million, or 2.90%, from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. The decrease in assets was the net result of the following increases and decreases; cash increased $1.2 million, fed funds sold increased $375,000, investment securities decreased $7.0 million and net loans decreased $5.1 million. Securities decreased due to $5.1 million in normal principal pay-downs on mortgage-backed securities and a $1.9 million decrease in fair values. The fair value of the Corporation’s securities decreased because of the recent increase in interest rates. The decrease in loans was the result of the following, construction mortgages decreased $3.1 million, consumer mortgages increased $6.0 million, tax-free loans decreased $2.9 million, consumer demand loans decreased $1.1 million and commercial loans decreased $1.8 million. Premises and equipment declined $116,000, Investments in life insurance increased $228,000 and other assets increased $626,000.
 
The Corporation’s total deposits decreased $3.2 million from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Non-interest-bearing deposits increased $1.0 million and interest-bearing deposits decreased $4.2 million. The majority of the decline in interest bearing deposits was money markets and savings accounts.

Shareholders' equity was $36.2 million on June 30, 2007 compared to $37.2 million on December 31, 2006. This $1.0 million decrease resulted from the $1.5 million net income offset by the $1.2 million dividend paid and the decrease in fair value of securities net of tax of $1.3 million. Book value per common share decreased from $12.23 at December 31, 2006 to $11.89 at June 30, 2007.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Six Months of 2007 as compared to the First Six Months of 2006

Net income for the first six months of 2007 was $1.5 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period of 2006, representing an 8.50% increase. The increase was due to higher non-interest income and lower non-interest expense in 2007 compared with 2006.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $9.2 million, an increase of 8.50% from interest income of $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The yield on the loan portfolio for the first six months of 2007 increased twelve (12) basis points to 6.04%. This increase in yield is due to higher market rates for new loans and loans subject to periodic re-pricing. The yield on loans and total interest income in 2006 benefited from the collection of $131,000 in non-accrual interest on two loans noted under Overview. Interest income has also benefited from an increase in loan volume, with average balances up 6.13% for six months ending June 30, 2007 compared to six months ending June 30, 2006. The yield on the securities portfolio for the first six months of 2007 increased forty (40) basis points to 5.89%. This increase in security yield is attributable to the purchase of higher earning securities in the second and third quarter of 2006. The yield on total average earning assets for the first six months of 2007 increased twenty (20) basis points from 2006 to 6.00%.
 
Total interest expense of $3.3 million for the first six months of 2007 increased by $738,000 or 28.85% compared with the first six months of 2006. The market cost of certificates of deposits increased; and in addition, total average outstanding certificates of deposit balances increased in comparison to last year. These two factors led to the increase in interest expense for the first six months of 2007. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first six months of 2007 was 2.87%, a forty-six (46) basis point increase from the same period in 2006.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income for the first six months of 2007 was the same as the first six months of 2006, $5.9 million.

The Corporation recorded loan loss provision expense in the amount of $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a provision in the amount of $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 based on management’s assessment of credit exposure in the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income for the first six months of 2007 was $1.5 million, a slight increase of $54,000 from non-interest income for the first six months of 2006. The $54,000 is the net of the following; Asset Management and Trust income increased $80,000, due to an increase in assets managed by this division, a $6,000 increase in service charges, a $20,000 decrease in other service charges and fees, a $12,000 increase in life insurance income, which was higher because of an increase in cash surrender values in 2007 and other income decreased $24,000. Other income was lower, mainly due to a $17,000 loss on the sale of two properties held in Other Real Estate owned.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2007 was $5.4 million, a decrease of $155,000 or 2.8% from non-interest expense for the first six months of 2006. Personnel costs increased by $103,000, or 3.95% due to increases in employee wages, occupancy decreased $4,000, furniture and equipment expense decreased $59,000 due to lower amortization expense on software and lower depreciation expense on equipment. Legal and professional expenses decreased by $198,000, a majority of this decrease is associated with the treasury stock repurchase cost incurred in 2006, previously described.

Federal income tax for the first six months of 2007 was $509,000 compared to $466,000 for the same period in 2006. The effective tax rates for the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were 25.90% and 25.77%, respectively. The effective tax rates are lower than the federal statutory rate of 34% due principally to income from tax-exempt loans, securities, and bank owned life insurance.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006

The Corporation’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $716,000, compared to $805,000 for the same period of 2006, representing a 10.98% decrease. Income was lower due to a $77,000 decrease in net interest income. In 2006, the second quarter benefited from $131,000 in the recognition of non-accrual interest previously mentioned.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.6 million, an increase of 4.75% from interest income of $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2006. The second quarter 2006 benefited from non-accrual interest of $131,000 previously mentioned. The Corporation was able to increase interest income due to higher average loans and securities in 2007, along with higher interest rates on new loans and loans that adjust with the prime rate. The loan yield decreased two (2) basis points to 6.05% from 6.07%. As mentioned above, the 2006 yield benefited from the recognition of non-accrual interest. The Corporation purchased additional mortgage backed securities in May, June, July and August of 2006; these purchases raised the overall securities yield, which increased twenty-four (24) basis points to 5.85% in 2007 compared to 5.61% in 2006. The yield on total average earning assets increased four (4) basis points to 5.99% in 2007.

Interest expense during the second quarter of 2007 was $1.6 million, or $285,000 more when compared to the second quarter of 2006. The average cost increased to 2.86%, a thirty-six (36) basis points increase from a year ago. The interest expense has increased due to the Corporation paying higher rates on deposits and higher volumes.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income declined $77,000 or 2.55% to $2.9 million during the second quarter of 2007 and yielded 3.53% of average total assets compared to 3.75% during the same period a year ago.

The Corporation recorded no provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2007. During the second quarter of 2006, the Corporation recorded a provision of $30,000 for loan losses.
 
Non-interest income increased slightly by $3,000 or 0.40%, to $745,000 during the second quarter of 2007. The $3,000 increase is the net of a $16,000 increase in Asset Management and Trust income compared to 2006 due to an increase in assets being managed by this division, an increase of $19,000 in service charges on deposits accounts, a $11,000 decrease in other service charges. Income from investment of life insurance increased by $6,000 due to higher cash surrender values and other income was $19,000 lower in 2007 due to a $17,000 loss on the sale of two properties held in Other Real Estate owned.

Non-interest expense increased $53,000 during the second quarter of 2007, a 2.00% increase from the same period in 2006. Personnel costs increased by $61,000 due to higher wages for employees, occupancy cost increased $6,000, furniture and fixture costs decreased $5,000 due to lower depreciation expense. Legal and professional costs decreased for the three-month period in 2007 by $17,000 compared to same period 2006. Other expenses increased by $14,000.

Federal income tax on second quarter 2007 pretax earnings was $263,000 compared to $271,000 a year ago. The second quarter effective tax rates for 2007 and 2006 were 26.86% and 25.19%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity measurements evaluate the Corporation’s ability to meet the cash flow requirements 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 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. Additional sources of funding from financial institutions have been established for short-term funding needs.

The June 30, 2007 statement of cash flows indicates, for the six months ending June 30, 2007, that cash from operating activities and the cash from the decrease in securities and loans was used to pay-down the short term borrowing and return funds to depositors as total deposits decreased.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Corporation had available funding of approximately $185 million with the FHLB and an additional $27 million of short-term funding available through federal funds lines of credit.


OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect off balance sheet arrangements that consist of commitments to purchase securities or commitments to extend credit. The Corporation has entered agreements to purchase mortgage-backed securities, with settlement dates in August and September 2007. The original face for these agreements is $40 million, all purchased at a discount with total commitment to purchase at $39.5 million. 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, if any, which the Corporation obtains from the customer upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer or other obligor. The types of collateral obtained by the Corporation 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.

CREDIT QUALITY RISK

The following table presents a comparison of loan quality as of June 30, 2007 with that as of December 31, 2006. Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized as interest income as long as the remaining balance of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. When doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan in non-accrual status, any payments received are applied to principal until the doubt is eliminated. Once a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any unpaid interest is charged against income.

The corporation anticipates this $2.4 million loan, based on the current performance will be removed from non-performing loans as of September 30, 2007. The borrower requested a modification of interest and a period of interest only payments. 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 current loan prepayment terms.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines are designed principally as a measure of credit risk. These guidelines require that: (1) at least 50% of a banking organization's total capital be common and certain other "core" equity capital ("Tier I Capital"); (2) assets and off-balance sheet items be weighted according to risk; and (3) the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio be at least 8.00%; and (4) a minimum 4.00% leverage ratio of Tier I capital to average total assets be maintained for financial institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including asset quality, high liquidity, low interest-rate exposure and the highest regulatory rating. As of June 30, 2007, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA had Tier I and total equity capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 17.23% and 18.11%, respectively. The leverage ratio was 10.93%.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Corporation’s primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises due to timing differences between interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Interest rate management seeks to maintain a balance between consistent income growth and the risk that is created by variations in the ability to reprice deposit and investment categories. The effort to determine the effect of potential interest rate changes normally involves measuring the "gap" between assets (loans and securities) subject to rate fluctuation and liabilities (interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings) subject to rate fluctuation as related to earning assets over different time periods and calculating the ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities.

Repricing periods for the loans, securities, interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings are based on contractual maturities, where applicable, as well as the Corporation's historical experience regarding the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment and withdrawal patterns of certain assets and liabilities. Regular savings, NOW and other similar interest bearing demand deposit accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal without penalty. However, based upon historical performance, management considers a certain portion of the accounts to be stable core deposits and therefore are projected to reprice over a variety of time periods.

 

15



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 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 that are subject to continual refinement. These assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute net interest income, growth rates and a variety of other factors that are difficult to accurately predict.

The June 30, 2007 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 7.60% if rates rise 200 bps, and projects a 3.60% decrease of net interest income if rates rise 100 bps. If rates decrease 200 bps, the model projects a 0.01% decrease in net interest income and if rates decrease 100 bps, the model projects net interest income will increase 2.20%.

Management regularly monitors the interest sensitivity position and considers this position in its decisions with regard to the Corporation’s interest rates and maturities for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Corporation maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in this Form 10-Q, and in other reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms for such filings. Management of the Corporation, under the direction of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15a(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2007. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with other key management of the Corporation, have determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were and are effective as designed to ensure that material information relating to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Corporation by the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
