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 of 1999 (GLB). The Corporation is owner of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania (the Bank). The Bank has been providing banking services since 1934. At the present time, two (2) banking offices are in operation in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, two (2) in Unity Township, Pennsylvania and one (1) each in Ligonier, West Newton, Greensburg, Norwin and Hempfield Township, Pennsylvania. The Bank established an asset management/trust department in 1994 which 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 that houses the Bank’s 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 24 hour a day automatic teller machines (ATM). Bank ATM units are also located on the campuses of Saint Vincent College in Unity Township and the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, the terminal of the Westmoreland County Airport in Unity Township, the reception lobby of the Latrobe Area Hospital in Latrobe, and an in-store machine in the Norvelt Open Pantry and the New Alexandria Qwik Mart. 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 Bank offers the full range of banking services normally associated with a general commercial banking business. Services include extending credit, providing deposit services, marketing non-deposit investments and offering financial counseling. The ATM system described above is a part of the MAC, Cirrus, Honor, Plus and Star networks, which provides 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.
In December 2002, the Corporation completed the acquisition of the insurance agencies, Gooder Agency, Inc., an insurance agency, (Gooder Agency) and Gooder & Mary, Inc., which owned a 50% interest in Commercial National Insurance Services (CNIS), thus giving the Corporation full ownership of CNIS, which is now operated as part of Gooder Agency. Gooder Agency was acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary of Commercial National Investment Corporation, which has changed its name to Commercial National Insurance Services, Inc.
Gooder Agency, located in Ligonier PA is a full service provider of insurance products for individuals and businesses. Gooder Agency represents fifteen national, regional and mutual insurance companies that allows it to provide new and existing customers with products and programs needed at competitive prices.
Competition
Throughout the Bank's service area, substantial competition exists both for deposit and loan products. The competitors range from major financial institutions, such as Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, National City Bank and PNC Bank, N.A., to several national and state banks, thrift institutions, credit unions, mortgage brokers and finance companies. Even though some portions of the thrift industry have experienced fairly extensive restructuring, the level of competitive activity in the Bank’s 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 the Bank’s market area. In addition, out-of-area institutions, including retailers, continue to solicit business for credit cards, residential mortgages and automobile financing.
Competition for insurance services continues to increase with consumers having the opportunity to select from a variety of national, regional and local insurance companies. The primary focus of CNIS is to provide one-stop financial services for the customers of the Bank.
Supervision and Regulation
The Corporation and the 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, 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 Bank’s primary banking regulator. No regulatory restrictions or actions are currently pending against the Corporation or the Bank.
GLB permits bank holding companies with subsidiary banks meeting certain capital and management requirements to elect to become "financial holding companies". 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 for expansion of the list of permissible activities 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 preserved the Federal Reserve Board as the umbrella supervisor of financial holding companies, GLB adopted 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.
CNIS, a non-banking subsidiary of the Corporation, is a licensed insurance agency and is subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance.
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, 2002, the Corporation, the Bank and other subsidiaries of the Corporation had a total of 128 full-time-equivalent employees.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
General
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania (Bank) and Commercial National Insurance Services, Inc. (CNIS) formerly known as 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.
CNIS holds the investment in the wholly-owned Gooder Agency, Inc. (Gooder), which is a full service provider of insurance products to individuals and businesses. The agency represents fifteen national, regional and mutual insurance companies.
The following summary of accounting and reporting policies is presented to aid the reader in obtaining a better understanding of the consolidated financial statements and related financial data of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries contained in this report. Such policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general practice within the banking industry. 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, 2001 and 2000 have been reclassified to conform with the December 31, 2002 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 shareholders’ 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.
Federal law requires the Bank, a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, to hold stock of its district Federal Home Loan Bank according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock is carried at cost.
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Loans
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of associated direct costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Corporation is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.
The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Foreclosed Real Estate
Foreclosed real estate is comprised of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and loans classified as in-substance foreclosure. A loan is classified as in-substance foreclosure when the Bank has taken possession of the collateral regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings take place.
Foreclosed 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 from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other expenses. Foreclosed real estate at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $344,048 and $-0-, respectively, and is included in other assets.
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.
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
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.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
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.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired. The Corporation has recorded goodwill of $410,000 as of December 31, 2002 related to the acquisition of two insurance agencies in December 2002. Commencing January 1, 2002, the effect of applying Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” is that goodwill is no longer amortized, but would be reviewed annually for impairment. Any impairment of goodwill results in a charge to income. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The Corporation has amortizable intangible assets related to covenants not-to-compete and customer lists acquired in 2002 through the acquisition of the insurance agencies. These intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five and fifteen years, respectively. The Bank has total amortizable intangible assets of $439,000. No amortization expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2002. Amortization expense is estimated to be $34,000 per year for the next five years.
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.
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Advertising Costs
The Corporation follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Total advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $233,000, $149,000 and $72,000, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the balance sheet when they are funded.
Trust Operations
Trust income is recorded on a cash basis, which approximates the accrual basis. Securities and other property held by the Corporation in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers of the Trust Department are not assets of the Corporation and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
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 3,425,858 in 2002, 3,432,389 in 2001 and 3,511,603 in 2000.
The Corporation currently maintains a simple capital structure, thus there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share.
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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".
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This Statement became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2003, but is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial condition or results of operations.
In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” which nullifies EITF Issue 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” This statement delays recognition of these costs until liabilities are incurred, rather than at the date of commitment to the plan, and requires fair value measurement. It does not impact the recognition of liabilities incurred in connection with a business combination or the disposal of long-lived assets. The provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 147, “Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions.” This statement provides guidance on accounting for the acquisition of a financial institution, including the acquisition of part of a financial institution. The statement defines criteria for determining whether the acquired financial institution meets the conditions for a “business combination”. If the acquisition meets the conditions of a “business combination”, the specialized accounting guidance under Statement No. 72, “Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions” will not apply after September 30, 2002 and the amount of any unidentifiable intangible asset will be reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of Statement No. 147. The transition provisions were effective on October 1, 2002 and did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
Note 2 - - Acquisitions And Divestitures
On December 10, 2002, the Corporation completed its acquisition of Gooder, an independent insurance agency and Gooder & Mary, Inc. (G&M), a 50% partner in CNIS. The Corporation issued 35,208 shares of its common stock with a value of $756,162 and paid cash of $235,485 in exchange for all of the shares of common stock of Gooder and G&M. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations of Gooder and G&M since the date of acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements. The effect of these acquisitions will enhance the Corporation’s ability to provide customers of the Bank with a full array of financial products and services.
The total purchase price of $991,647 has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon fair value at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets of $406,000 and $33,000 representing the fair value of the acquired customer lists and covenants not-to-compete, respectively. The value of the 35,208 common shares issued was determined based on the average market price of the Corporation’s common shares over the ten trading days ending on the date prior to the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was $410,000 and has been recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary at this time. The Corporation expects to finalize the valuation in 2003. The impact of the acquisition of Gooder and G&M on the ongoing operations of the Corporation in 2002 was not material.
On June 29, 2002, the Corporation’s principal subsidiary, the Bank, pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Great American Federal (GAF), acquired the deposit liabilities, equipment and loans outstanding of GAF’s branch office in Norwin, Pennsylvania (the Norwin Branch). The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. In the transaction, the Bank assumed deposit liabilities of $11,513,514, acquired loans of $8,046,215 and equipment of $9,373.
The premium paid to acquire the Norwin Branch amounted to $905,284 and was allocated to a core deposit intangible.
On September 27, 2002, the Bank, pursuant to a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Standard Bank, PaSB, sold the bank premises, deposit liabilities, equipment and loans outstanding of the Bank’s branch office and Redstone office in Murrysville, Pennsylvania (the Murrysville Branch). In the transaction, the Bank sold deposit liabilities of $7,709,334, loans of $5,820,661 and equipment of $9,500.
Note 3 - 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, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $4,050,000 and $3,571,000, respectively.

The Corporation’s loan portfolio is collateralized with assets located within Western Pennsylvania. Although the Corporation has a diversified portfolio, exposure to credit loss can be adversely impacted by downturns in local economic and employment conditions.
During 2000, the Corporation sold its credit card loan portfolio which had a principal balance of $6.3 million. The gain recognized on this sale was $822,875 which is included in other income.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the recorded investment in loans considered to be impaired was $9,012,615 and $12,601,053, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $12,323,317, $12,730,673 and $14,569,050, respectively. Impaired loans with balances of $3,084,737 and $7,516,022 at December 31, 2002 and 2001 had related allowance for loan losses of $1,536,467 and $1,947,719, respectively. Interest income on impaired loans of $749,113, $1,080,215 and $1,302,588 was recognized in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The amount of interest income recognized using a cash basis method approximated the interest income recognized.
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $2,679,000 and $2,492,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Loan balances past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, but which management expects will eventually be paid in full, amounted to $2,966 and $745,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Note 7 - 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 such commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The following table identifies the contract or notional amount of those instruments:
Years Ended December 31, |
|
||||||
2002 |
2001 |
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: |
||||||
Commitments to extend credit |

533,422 |
595,995 |
||||
Financial standby letters of credit |
3,700,215 |
3,041,452 |
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.
Note 7 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (Continued)
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.
Note 8 - Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Bank grants commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers primarily located in Westmoreland County in Pennsylvania. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 5. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, the debtors’ ability to honor these contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.

Unless noted, outstanding advances are convertible rate notes which carry an option, at the interest rate change date, to repay the advance without incurring a prepayment penalty.
Advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh are secured by the bank’s stock in the FHLB of Pittsburgh, qualifying residential mortgage loans, U.S. Government securities, U.S. agency securities and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC and FNMA to the extent that the defined statutory value must be at least equal to the advances outstanding. The maximum remaining borrowing capacity at December 31, 2002 is $152,000,000.
Note 13 - Employee Benefit Plans
The Corporation sponsors an employee profit sharing plan available to all employees with at least one year of service. The Corporation contributes to the plan, as determined by the Board of Directors, in an amount not to exceed 15% of compensation of eligible participants. The Corporation also has a supplemental retirement plan for certain retired employees. The expense for the employee benefit plans was $607,684, $595,480 and $605,651 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Note 14 - Comprehensive Income
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Below are various estimated fair values at December 31, 2002 and 2001, 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.
Note 17 - Fair Value of FinancialInstruments (Continued)
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating financial instrument fair values:
Cash and Short Term Investments
The carrying amounts for cash and short-term investments approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.
Securities
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.
Restricted Investments in Bank Stock
The carrying amounts of restricted investments in bank stock approximate the estimated fair value of such assets.
Loans Receivable
Fair values of variable rate loans subject to frequent repricing and which entail no significant credit risk are based on the carrying values. The estimated fair values of other loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
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 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.
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.
Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and for outstanding letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit worthiness of the counterparties.

Note 18 - 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 2002. All loans and loan commitments in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including collateral and interest rates, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others. In the opinion of management, these transactions with others 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 $1,656,401 and $2,162,856 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Note 18 - Related Party Transactions (Continued)
The following is an analysis of loans to those parties whose loan balances exceeded $60,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002:
Balances at January 1 |
$1,562,594 |
||||
Advances |
589,782 |
||||
Repayments |
(1,223,093) |
||||
Balances at December 31 |
$ 929,283 |
During 2002, the Corporation had loan advances to certain directors which, when aggregated with loans existing prior to January 1, 2002, caused their aggregate loan balances to exceed $60,000. Therefore, the balance at January 1, 2002 was adjusted to reflect these directors’ loan additions.
Note 19 - 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 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 Capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2002, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Note 19 - Capital Requirements and Dividend Restrictions (Continued)
As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. 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 not to exceed $3,288,568 at December 31, 2002. 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 Shareholders
Commercial National Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
Latrobe, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Commercial National Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. 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 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 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 consolidated financial position of Commercial National Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 ended on December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the years under review.
All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Disclosure of the Corporation's significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these policies are particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management. Additional information is contained in management's discussion and analysis for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.
Management in determining the allowance for loan losses makes significant estimates. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate. In estimating the allowance for loan losses, management considers current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, its borrowers' perceived financial and managerial strengths, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent, or present value of future cash flows and other relevant factors.
The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist the reader in reviewing the financial information presented and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial data presented elsewhere herein.
Financial Condition
The Corporation’s total assets at December 31, 2002 increased $37,309,197, or 10.88% from the end of 2001. The increases were primarily in securities, federal funds sold, interest bearing deposit accounts and other assets.
The total loan portfolio decreased as the Corporation’s primary subsidiary, Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania (the Bank) continued to experience softer loan demand as a result of the weakening economy during 2002. Although it is too soon to tell, early indications suggest the Bank is likely to experience modest loan growth for 2003.
Other assets increased $7,276,802, or 87.76% during 2002. The majority of this increase was due to the purchase of a $5,000,000 bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policy. Other contributors to this increase are intangible assets and goodwill associated with the Bank’s purchase of a community banking office in Norwin, Pennsylvania and the acquisition of Gooder Agency, Inc., an independently-owned insurance agency located in Ligonier, Pennsylvania.
At December 31, 2002, total liabilities increased $32,074,992, or 10.80% to $329,133,253. Of this increase, $20,000,000 was attributable to long-term borrowings transacted by the Corporation to extend the interest bearing liabilities of the Bank. This action better positioned the Bank for an increase in interest rates in the future.
Also contributing to liability growth in 2002 was the increase in deposits. Total non-interest and interest-bearing deposits increased $15,038,437 during 2002. Factors that led to this increase are the historically low bond yields and negative returns experienced in the equity markets. Also assisting in growth of deposits was the Corporation’s desire to offer competitive rates in our market area.
Shareholders’ equity was $51,204,502 on December 31, 2002 compared to $45,970,297 on December 31, 2001 and increase of 11.39%. Book value per common share increased to $14.82 or 10.43% from $13.42 at year-end 2001. Excluding the net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, book value per share would have been $13.41 at December 31, 2002, an increase of 4.85% over the comparable book value at year-end 2001.
Results of Operations
Net income increased $439,293, or 9%, to $5,344,216 for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $4,904,923 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in net income for 2002 was due to higher other operating income. The increase in net interest income was negated by higher other operating expenses. Based on current economic conditions, management views fourth quarter 2002 net income as a reasonable indicator for 2003 quarterly results.
Net income for year ended December 31, 2001 increased $273,411 to $4,904,923 from $4,631,512 for year ended December 31, 2000. The reasons for this increase were improved net interest income, a lower provision for loan losses and higher operating income. The sum of those components offset a 7% increase in operating expense.
Return on average assets was 1.46% in 2002, 1.43% in 2001 and 1.32% in 2000. For the same years, return on average equity was 11.02%, 10.90% and 11.21%, respectively.
Net Interest Income
The Corporation’s primary source of earnings is represented by net interest income. Net interest income is calculated by deducting the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds from the interest received on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investments. In 2002, net interest income was $15,368,053 compared to $14,683,040 in 2001. The return on earning assets, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, equaled 7.06% in 2002 and was 7.84% in 2001. The cost-of-funds rate for 2002 and 2001 was 2.86% and 3.93%, respectively. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for 2002 decreased one basis point to 4.81% from 4.82% in 2001.
In 2001, net interest income was $14,683,040 compared to $14,350,887 in 2000. The return on earning assets, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, equaled 7.84% in 2001 and was 8.08% in 2000. The cost-of-funds rate for 2001 and 2000 was 3.93% and 4.47%, respectively. The tax-equivalent net interest margin for 2001 increased twenty-two basis points to 4.82% from 4.60% in 2000. During 2001, the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates eleven times in an effort to stimulate the economy. With these rate cuts, the Corporation benefited by interest-bearing liability costs repricing lower at a faster rate than the realized yield declines on interest earning assets.
Average earning assets increased $15,141,568 from 2001 to 2002. The Corporation continued to experience overall loan contraction for much of 2002 due to a combination of weak demand and a new commercial lending focus that implemented tighter underwriting standards. Also contributing to the decrease was the Corporation’s reluctance to aggressively price rates at low current market levels. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Corporation’s management relaxed loan pricing constraints in an effort to become more competitive in its marketplace. This relaxation will be monitored closely so that the Corporation does not overweigh itself with an abundance of lower yielding loans. Investment purchases throughout the year helped offset both loan and security runoff during 2002.
Average earning assets decreased $13,886,525, or 4.14%, in 2001 from 2000. The Corporation experienced overall loan contraction in 2001 due to weak demand and a change of focus in the commercial lending that excluded specific business segments. Also contributing to the average earning asset decrease in 2001 were lower volumes in investment securities throughout the year due to the relative decline in market yields.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $17,577,721, or 7.11% in 2002 from 2001. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from 2002 to 2001 was attributed to modest growth in deposit accounts, particularly in the demand deposits, and the extension of long-term debt through a series of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.
Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $14,755,501, or 5.63% in 2001 but compared to an increase of $11,740,155 in 2000. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities from 2001 to 2000 was attributed to declines in the interest-bearing deposits as the Corporation experienced outflows due to the lower rate environment.

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 amount of the provision was $298,030 in 2002, $540,350 in 2001 and $1,176,000 in 2000. For each of the same years the net charge-off against the allowance for loan losses was $405,161, $462,608 and $358,741, respectively. The lower 2002 provision was the result of lower outstanding loan balances and reduced credit risk in the loan portfolio.
On December 31, 2002, the ratio of allowance for loan to total loans was 1.60% compared to 1.39% at the end of 2001 and 1.32% at the end of 2000. In 2002, the year-end allowance was $2,707,323. The allowance decreased in 2002 by $107,131 from 2001. The reason for this decrease was due to the charge-off of certain non-performing loans during 2002 that were already included in the allowance for loan loss calculation.
Loans that were past due 90 days or more, or were on non-accrual represented 1.79% of total loans on December 31, 2002, 1.32% on December 31, 2001 and 0.39% on December 31, 2000. The Corporation’s policy is to place a loan on non-accrual basis when it becomes 90 days past due provided that the loan is well collateralized and evidence indicates a reasonable likelihood for collection. Also, a loan is placed on non-accrual in the event of a material decline in business activity that may hinder the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.
The table below provides an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the five
years ended December 31, 2002:

Management review and evaluation of loan loss experience and loan loss potential on outstanding loans occurs on a quarterly basis and is considered in conjunction with current economic conditions and the current requirements of the appropriate regulatory agencies. Due to the recent decline in the general economy, management expects loan loss trends to be consistent with the three most recent years.
As a result of this on-going study, management believes that the reserve amount shown for December 31, 2002 is adequate to offset the losses which may exist as a result of under collateralization or uncollectibility.
Management maintains an allowance for loan losses that it considers adequate based on the evaluation process that it performs on a quarterly basis. As part of this process, management considers it appropriate to maintain a portion of the allowance that is based on credit quality trends, loan volume, current economic trends and other uncertainties. This portion of the allowance for loan losses is reflected as the unallocated portion in the table below that indicates the distribution of the allowance as of the end of each of the last five years.

Other Operating Income and Expense
Total other operating income for 2002 of $3,175,287 increased by $620,450 from the $2,554,837 earned in 2001. The increase included a gain of $469,782 from the sale of one of the Bank’s branch offices. This branch, located in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, failed to reach management’s performance expectations and was no longer part of the geographic scope of the Corporation’s long-range plan. Income from investment in life insurance increased from $176,750 to $474,286. This increase is related to higher BOLI income associated with an additional investment of $5,000,000 during 2002 and a full year of income from the $5,000,000 BOLI investment made in 2001. Asset management and trust income during 2002 was $475,115, which represents an increase of 3.99% over 2001. Service charges on deposit accounts declined $41,192 to $737,426 for 2002. Lower fees collected from overdrawn accounts contributed to this revenue decrease. Other service charges and fees decreased by $59,008 in 2002 from 2001’s level of $750,248. Reasons for this decrease were lower volumes of fees and commissions collected from various loan and deposit product offerings by the Corporation.
Total other operating income for 2001 of $2,554,837 increased by $250,373 from the $2,304,464 earned in 2000. Increases in trust fees, service charges on deposit accounts and fee income offset a decrease of $651,950 in other income from 2001 to 2000. This decrease in other income during 2001 was the result of $822,875 received by the Bank for the sale of its credit-card loan portfolio in 2000. As a result of this premium, the Corporation repositioned the investment portfolio and incurred a loss of $691,700 in securities sold to take advantage of higher yields that were available in the bond market at that time.
Total other operating expense increased $934,822 to $11,028,124 for 2002 compared to $10,093,302 in 2001. Personnel expense, accounting for more than 50% of total non-interest expense, increased only 2.95% or $162,358 in 2002. Net occupancy expense increased by a modest $21,195. Furniture and equipment expense remained relatively unchanged when compared to 2001. Pennsylvania shares tax increased $39,811. Other expense increased by $692,811 to $3,240,638. An increase of $208,227 was attributable to advertising, ATM/debit card, stationary and printing and employee training expenses during 2002. This expense increase is associated with the cost of doing business. Branch amortization expense of $39,005 is related to the acquisition of the Norwin branch. Other real estate expense increased $66,196 due to more properties acquired by the Corporation through foreclosure. Legal costs increased $238,495. This increase is mainly due to the work involved with the branch acquisition, branch divestiture, insurance agency acquisition and the continued collection efforts relating to a previously charged-off loan.
Total other operating expense increased $664,733 to $10,093,302 for 2001 compared to $9,428,569 in 2000. Personnel expense increased 7.62% or $389,292 in 2001. Annual salary and hospitalization increases along with higher incentive compensation payouts were the main contributors to this increase. Net occupancy expense increased by a modest $14,292. Pennsylvania shares tax increased $34,769 over 2000 while other operating expense increased $393,111. Increases in advertising, professional fees and automated teller expense were the primary reasons for the 15.99% rise in other operating expense. Furniture and equipment expense declined $166,731 as the Bank’s core operating software became fully depreciated in mid-2001.
Income tax expense was $1,872,970 in 2002, $1,699,302 in 2001 and $1,419,270 in 2000. The effective tax rate in those years were 25.95%, 25.73% and 23.46%, respectively.
Liquidity
Liquidity measurements attempt to evaluate the Corporation’s ability to meet the cash-flow needs of its depositors and borrowers. The most desirable source of liquidity is deposit growth. Additional liquidity is provided by the maturity of investments in loans and securities and the principal and interest received from those earning assets. Another source of liquidity is represented by the Corporation’s ability to sell both loans and available-for-sale securities. The Bank is a member of the 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.
On December 31, 2002, total deposits were $15,038,437 greater than on December 31, 2001. Interest-bearing deposits increased $11,625,061 in 2002 while demand deposits increased an additional $3,413,376.
The amortized cost of the Corporation’s securities portfolio was $137,330,664 on December 31, 2002. On that same date, the estimated market value of the entire securities portfolio was $144,726,216 which was higher than amortized cost by $7,395,552 and represented the net of $7,404,569 gross unrealized gains less $9,017 gross unrealized losses.
As of December 31, 2002, the Corporation had available funding of approximately $152,022,000 at the FHLB with an additional $30,000,000 of short-term funding available through federal funds lines of credit.
During January 2003, the Corporation settled on $20,000,000 of a Federal National Mortgage Association 15 year mortgage pass-through security. The Corporation committed to this purchase on October 23, 2002 with a forward settlement set for January 21, 2003.

(1) Yield on tax-exempt obligations has been computed on a fully
tax-equivalent basis (using statutory federal income tax rate of 34%)
Included in U.S. Treasury & other U.S. Government Agencies are mortgage-backed securities. These securities carry an amortized value of $100,310,249 and mature based upon their estimated contractual maturities. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay with or without prepayment penalties.
Interest Sensitivity
One of the desired goals of interest-sensitivity management is to achieve an appropriate balance between stable income growth and the risks inherent in achieving that growth 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 interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities scheduled to reprice over a variety of time periods.
An asset or liability is considered to be sensitive if the interest rate it earns or pays is set to change within a certain time period. When the amount of the interest-sensitive assets is greater than the interest-sensitive 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.
The following table lists the amounts and ratio of assets and liabilities subject to change as of December 31, 2002.

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’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 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 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 that 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, 2003.

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.

Credit Review
Maintaining a high quality loan portfolio is of great importance to the Corporation. The Corporation manages the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio through the use of prudent lending policies and procedures and monitors risk through a periodic review process provided by internal auditors, regulatory authorities and internal loan review procedures. These reviews include the analysis of credit quality, diversification of industry, compliance to policies and procedures, and an analysis of current economic conditions. In addition to these reviews, the Corporation annually has commercial loan reviews performed by a third party specializing in this area.
The Corporation’s credit culture fosters and actively supports the extension of credit on sound, fundamental lending policies. The purpose of each credit is to be logical, legal, constructive and acceptable within policy guidelines. Credit is only to be granted to reputable borrowers and only when supported by acceptable and reliable financial information.
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve that is intended to account for credit losses, which may be expected in the Corporation’s loan portfolio as a result of the credit risk involved in the normal granting of credit. Adequate management of the allowance is an integral part of the credit risk management process. The risks directly associated with the maintenance of the allowance are compliance risk and reputation risk. The Corporation will maintain an adequate allowance in anticipation of losses reflected as of the evaluation date. Management is cognizant of the subjective nature of decisions regarding loan portfolio factors and the variability over time of internal and external factors affecting portfolio quality, and realizes that an effective asset review system is essential to establishing the basis for an adequate allowance. To improve the accuracy of determining the allowance, management will continuously monitor all factors and current conditions that may affect loss recognition.
For analytical purposes, the following table sets forth an allocation of the allowance for loan losses on December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 according to the categories indicated:

Non-accrual loans remained relatively unchanged during 2002 due to the general economic slowdown. As of December 31, 2002, $1,205,374 of the non-accrual loans were current with interest and principal payments recognized on a cash basis only.
At present no other outstanding loans present a serious doubt in regard to the borrower's ability to comply with the current loan repayment terms. As of December 31, 2002 the Corporation had $344,048 in other real estate owned.
Effect of non-accrual loans on interest income during 2002 is as follows:

Capital Resources
Shareholders’ equity increased $5,234,205 during 2002 and was $51,204,502 on December 31, 2002 compared to $45,970,297 on December 31, 2001. Net unrealized gains on securities available for sale on December 31, 2002 temporarily increased shareholders’ equity by $4,881,065. This component will fluctuate given the timing of investment purchases versus the current interest rate environment.
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, 2002, the Corporation’s capital (not including the allowance for loan losses) amounted to $51,204,502 or 13.46% of total assets. The inclusion of the allowance increases the capital ratio to 14.17%. On the same basis of calculation, these ratios were 13.40% and 14.22% respectively on December 31, 2001.
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, 2002, the Corporation had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted asset ratios of 23.95% and 25.21%, respectively. In 2002, the leverage ratio was 12.06%. At December 31, 2001, the Corporation had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted assets ratios of 22.36% and 23.61%, 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 Interest 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.
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.
