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”). Through its subsidiaries the Corporation is engaged in banking, trust and insurance agency operations.
The Bank Subsidiary
The Corporation is owner of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Commercial 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. 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. 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 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 Bank accounts, perform common banking tasks and pay bills 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
The Financial Services Subsidiaries
In December 2002, the Corporation completed the acquisition of two insurance agencies, Gooder Agency, Inc., (“Gooder Agency”) and Gooder & Mary, Inc., which owned a 50% interest in Commercial National Insurance Services, thus giving the Corporation full ownership of Commercial National Insurance Services, 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 (“CNIS”).
Gooder Agency, located in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, 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.
On October 1, 2003, the Corporation formed a trust company subsidiary and the Bank transferred its trust operations to such subsidiary. This subsidiary, Highview Trust Company (“HTC”), enables the Corporation to offer more investment products to its customers. HTC provides a full range of trust services to its customers.
All aspects of the Corporation’s business are highly competitive. The Corporation’s subsidiaries compete with major financial institutions, several national and state banks, thrift institutions, credit unions, mortgage brokers, finance companies, insurance companies, investment companies and mutual funds.
Customers are generally influenced by convenience of location, quality of service, price of services and availability of products. The Corporation believes that its subsidiaries effectively compete with other financial service providers within its market area.
Supervision and Regulation
Introduction
The Corporation, the Bank and its non-banking subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation by federal and state agencies. The primary focus of these regulations is for the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system, not for the protection of security holders. Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws which relate to the regulation of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The description is not meant to be complete and is qualified by reference to applicable laws and regulations.
Regulatory Agencies
Holding Company. The Corporation, as a bank holding company and as a financial holding company is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). 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. No regulatory restrictions or actions are currently pending against the Corporation.
Subsidiary Bank. The Bank is subject to regulation and examination primarily by the FDIC and Pennsylvania Department of Banking (the “PDB”) and the FDIC. No regulatory restrictions or actions are currently pending against the Bank.
Financial Services Subsidiaries. CNIS, a non-banking subsidiary of the Corporation, is a licensed insurance agency and is subject to Pennsylvania laws and regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance. HTC, the Corporation’s trust company subsidiary, is regulated by the PDB and FRB. No regulatory restrictions or actions are currently pending against CNIS or HTC.
Holding Company Activities
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 FRB.
Although it preserved the FRB 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 FRB 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 FRB involvement and to the possible exercise of remedial authority affecting both financial holding companies and their affiliated operating companies.
In 2002, the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) became law. The goals of this law are to protect investors in publicly traded companies by improving accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures under the federal securities laws. Some of the provisions included in SOX govern the services provided by a publicly held entity’s independent auditors and procedures for approving such services, chief executive officer and chief financial officer certifications relating to the public company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), expedited filings of reports by insiders of their securities transactions and disclosure requirements relating to critical accounting policies and their application.
Capital Requirements
Bank holding companies are required to be in compliance with the FRB’s risk-based capital standards. These standards require that (1) at least 50% of total capital must be “Tier 1 capital”. This consists primarily of common and certain other “core” equity 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 1 capital to average assets must be maintained. The PDB requires state chartered banks to maintain a 6% leverage capital and 10% risk based capital, defined substantially the same as the federal regulations. The Bank is subject to almost identical capital requirements adopted by the FDIC.
Effects of Governmental Policies
In addition to 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, 2003, the Corporation, the Bank and other subsidiaries of the Corporation had a total of 151 full-time-equivalent employees.

Item 2. Properties
All of the Corporation’s facilities are owned with the exception of the Lincoln Road banking office and adjacent drive-up facility, the Norwin Hills banking office and the facility that houses Gooder Agency, which are leased. The lease agreement for the Gooder Agency property gives the Corporation a right of first refusal to purchase the property in the event it is available for sale. All of the properties are used in their entirety for banking and insurance agency purposes. In each case, the properties have been maintained in good repair, are well suited for their present use and appear to be adequate for the immediate needs of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The locations of the Corporation’s real properties can be found in the Annual Report to Shareholders.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Other than proceedings that occur in the normal conduct of business, there are no legal proceedings to which either the Corporation or the subsidiaries is a party that will have any material effect on the financial position of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Corporation’s security holders during the last quarter of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Information appearing in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 (the Annual Report) in the section titled “Common Stock Information” is incorporated herein by reference in response to this item. As of March 24, 2004 there were 512 shareholders of record of the Corporation's common stock. The number of beneficial shareholders is approximately 864.
We have historically paid quarterly dividends on our common stock and currently intend to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends depends on a number of factors, however, including restrictions on the ability of the Corporation to pay dividends under federal laws and regulations, and as a result there can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in the future
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The following financial information is not covered by the auditor's report and must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes along with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Safe Harbor Statement
Forward-looking statements (statements which are not historical facts) in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. 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 Commercial National Financial Corporation (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 Policies
Disclosure of the Corporation's significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these policies are particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management. Additional information is contained in management's discussion and analysis for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.
In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate. In estimating the allowance for loan losses, management considers current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, its borrowers' perceived financial and managerial strengths, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent, or present value of future cash flows and other relevant factors.
Overview
As discussed in Note 20 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, “Restatement”, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 have been restated to reflect a writedown of goodwill associated with the Corporation’s acquisition of Gooder Agency, Inc. (Gooder), its insurance agency subsidiary, in the amount of $375,000. Amounts affected by this restatement included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” have been appropriately revised.
The purpose of this discussion and the accompanying financial data is to provide aid in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the years under review
The Corporation is a financial holding company with wholly-owned subsidiaries, Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania (the Bank), Commercial National Insurance Services, Inc. (CNIS) and Highview Trust Company (HTC).
All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Corporation reported net income of $3.6 million or $1.03 per share for the year ended 2003 compared to $5.3 million or $1.56 per share for the year ended 2002. The Corporation’s return on average assets for 2003 and 2002 were .95% and 1.46%, respectively. Return on average equity for the same two periods were 6.99% and 11.02%, respectively.
The decrease in net income was due to higher net operating expense and a decline in net interest income. A more detailed discussion of the net interest income decline is included below under the heading Net Interest Income.
The Corporation’s largest segment of operating results is dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is calculated by what is earned on interest-earning assets less interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For the years ended 2003 and 2002, net interest income was $13.3 and $15.4 million, respectively. The related tax-equivalent net interest margin for these two years was 4.19% and 4.81%, respectively. The decline in the margin is mostly due to the decrease in yield earned on interest-earning assets. Other factors that can affect the Corporation’s operating results are activity in the loan loss provision and components of non-interest income and non-interest expense.
The year 2003 marked some changes with the Corporation’s subsidiaries. In July, the Corporation’s banking subsidiary changed from a national to a state banking charter. This change will allow the Bank to compete on a more equal basis with most of its local competition and reduce semi-annual regulatory assessments. In October, the Corporation formed HTC as a state-chartered trust company subsidiary, and then transferred the Bank’s trust operations to HTC. The creation of this new subsidiary was intended to enable each of the Corporation’s subsidiaries to offer customers a more concentrated focus in its particular financial services sector (banking, insurance and trust).
With its recent changes in management, the Corporation now intends to focus on Bank operations and growing the Corporation through traditional loans and deposits supplemented by offering trust products to customers in its marketplace. Management anticipates continued pressure on net interest income. Loans and deposits will continue to be competitively priced by the Corporation with the intention of acquiring profitable market share. Operating expenses will be scrutinized more closely for the purpose of offsetting a potential decline in net interest income.
Total assets of the Corporation were $385.0 million on December 31, 2003 compared to $380.3 million on December 31, 2002. Increases in investments and loans offset the decrease in cash and interest bearing deposit accounts (IBDs). The decline in IBDs provided the necessary funding for investment and loan growth.
Financial Condition
The Corporation’s total assets at December 31, 2003 increased $4.7 million, or 1.23% since the end of 2002. The increases were primarily in securities and loans. These increases were offset by decreases in cash and IBDs.
The loan portfolio is comprised mostly of residential and commercial real-estate secured loans. These loans consist of residential mortgages, commercial mortgages and home equity term and lines of credit. Additionally, the loan portfolio includes commercial, tax-free and other consumer loans.
The total loan portfolio increased $18.4 million in 2003 over the total of $169.0 million at the end of 2002. This increase was due largely to a residential loan promotion that commenced during the fourth quarter of 2002. This promotion resulted in an increase of $20.2 million in residential mortgage loans. Total commercial and commercial mortgage loans decreased $1.5 million due to the lingering effects of the sluggish economy in the Corporation’s market area.
Total investment securities increased $20.3 million during 2003. All of the Corporation’s securities are held as available for sale. These securities consist of mortgage-backed securities, tax-free municipal bonds, U.S. government agency securities, Federal Home Loan Bank stock and individual bank stocks. Depending upon market fluctuations or other circumstances that may arise, such as changes in prepayment rates, the Corporation may sell securities for asset/liability management and liquidity purposes.
At December 31, 2003, total deposits decreased $10.8 million from December 31, 2002 to $259.2 million. This decrease is partly due to the Corporation’s reluctance to match competitor pricing of money market and certificate of deposit accounts. In an effort to mitigate this decline in deposits, the Corporation elected, in October 2003 to offer competitive certificate of deposit rates to attract more deposits. To that end, the Corporation experienced deposit growth of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Total short-term borrowings increased $17.5 million in 2003. The additional short-term borrowings consisted of $15.0 million in a 30 day advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and $2.5 million in federal funds purchased. These borrowings funded purchases of securities during the fourth quarter of 2003. The Corporation’s intent is to reduce its short-term borrowings over time with monthly cash flow from securities and loan payments.
Long-term borrowings were $55.0 million at year-end 2003 and unchanged from year-end 2002. These borrowings include fixed and convertible rate advances from the FHLB. For more detail on these borrowings, see Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Shareholders’ equity was $49.5 million on December 31, 2003 compared to $51.2 million on December 31, 2002, a decrease of $1.7 million. The change in shareholders’ equity consists of net income of $3.6 million being offset by unrealized losses in securities of $1.1 million, dividends declared of $3.4 million and treasury stock purchases of $0.7 million. Book value per common share at year-end 2003 decreased by 2.6% to $14.44 from $14.82 at year-end 2002.
Results of Operations
Net income decreased $1.8 million, or 33%, to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 from $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease reflects a decline in net interest income of $2.1 million and higher operating expenses of $1.3 million and a writedown of $375,000 to reflect impairment in the goodwill of its insurance agency subsidiary. Partially offsetting these factors was an increase in other operating income of $656,000.
Net income increased $439,000, or 9%, to $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in net income for 2002 was due to higher other operating income, which included a gain of $470,000 on the sale of the Bank’s Murrysville community office in September 2002.
Net Interest Income
In 2003, interest income was $19.8 million compared to $22.9 million in 2002, a decrease of $3.1 million. Part of this decrease was due to the Corporation’s inability to increase interest income from loans even though total loans grew by more than 10% in 2003. This was the direct result of lower interest rates at which the new loans were added to the balance sheet.
The low loan interest rate environment also impacted investment income as nationwide refinancing activity produced heavy prepayments on the Corporation’s mortgage backed securities portfolio. The Corporation reinvested the proceeds of these prepayments into lower yielding investments, which included federal funds sold and municipal and mortgage-backed securities.
For 2003, total deposits declined by $10.8 million to $259.2 million from $270.0 million at the end of 2002. This decline, combined with lower interest rates, resulted in a $1.0 million decrease in interest expense for 2003.
As a result of these factors, net interest income in 2003 was $13.3 million compared to $15.4 million in 2002, a decrease of $2.1 million.
In 2002, net interest income was $15.4 million compared to $14.7 million in 2001. The increase was attributable to a $2.1 million decrease in interest expense, which more than offset a $1.4 million decrease in interest income. This was due to the Corporation’s ability to reprice liabilities at a faster rate than assets.
The following table displays the Corporation’s average balance sheet, annual interest earned and paid, and annual yields on interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for 2003, 2002 and 2001.

Other Operating Income and Expense
Total other operating income for 2003 was $4.0 million, an increase of $700,000 from $3.3 million in 2002. Of this increase, $841,000 is attributable to gross revenue generated by the Corporation’s wholly owned insurance agency subsidiary, Gooder , which the Corporation acquired at the end of 2002. In 2003, trust income increased $169,000 over 2002 due to higher estate fees and income from third party management fees. Income from service charges on deposit accounts increased $148,000 in 2003, due mostly to fees generated from overdrafts. Other income increased $88,000 in 2003, of which $55,000 was realized from a life insurance policy. Other service charges and fees decreased $99,000 in 2003. This decrease is the result of lower fees collected by the Bank on customer product and service offerings. In 2002, the Corporation realized a gain of $470,000 on the sale of a branch office.
Total other operating income for 2002 was $3.3 million, an increase of $620,000 from $2.6 million in 2001. The increase included a gain of $470,000 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 within the geographic scope of the Corporation’s long-range plan. Income from bank-owned life insuranceincreased $85,000 due to an additional investment of $5.0 million during 2002. Asset management and trust income during 2002 was $541,000, which represented an increase of $84,000 over 2001. Service charges on deposit accounts declined $41,000 to $737,000 for 2002. Lower fees collected from overdrawn accounts contributed to this revenue decrease. Other service charges and fees decreased by $59,000 from 2001’s level of $750,000. The 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 expense increased $1.6 million to $12.8 million for 2003 compared to $11.2 million in 2002. Personnel expense increased $566,000 or 10% in 2003. Factors contributing to this increase were the Gooder acquisition, wage increases, higher health insurance premiums and payroll taxes. Net occupancy expense increased by $90,000 in 2003 due to increased depreciation of check imaging equipment and rental expense from the addition of the Norwin and Gooder offices for full year 2003. Other expenses increased $834,000 in 2003 to $3.9 million. Amortization of intangible assets, the writedown of goodwill, and expenses associated with the acquisition and operation of Gooder Agency were the primary reasons for this increase.
Total other operating expense increased $1.1 million to $11.2 million for 2002 compared to $10.1 million in 2001. Personnel expense increased only 3% or $162,000 in 2002. Legal and professional costs increased $239,000 in 2002. This increase is mainly due to the work involved with the branch acquisition, branch divestiture, Gooder acquisition and the continued collection efforts relating to a previously charged-off loan.
Other expense increased by $611,000 to $2.7 million. Increases in advertising, ATM/debit cards, stationary and printing, employee training and other real estate expenses along with the deposit premium amortization expense relating to the newly acquired branch office led to this increase in other expenses.
Income tax expense was $837,000 in 2003, $1,873,000 in 2002 and $1,699,000 in 2001. The effective tax rate in those years was 17.54%, 25.95% and 25.73%, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2003 decreased due to higher tax-free income in relation to lower taxable income when compared to 2002. Due to the reasons stated above, the Corporation is now in an alternative minimum tax position. Management is attempting to rectify this position by reducing tax-free income while increasing taxable income during 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity measurements evaluate the Corporation’s ability to meet the cash-flow needs of its depositors and borrowers. The most desirable source of liquidity is deposit growth. Additional liquidity is provided by the maturity of investments in loans and securities and the principal and interest received from those earning assets. Another source of liquidity is represented by the Corporation’s ability to sell both loans and available-for-sale securities. The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. The FHLB provides an additional source for liquidity for long- and short-term funding. Additional sources of funding from financial institutions have been established for short-term funding needs.
As of December 31, 2003, the Corporation had available funding of approximately $105.0 million at the FHLB with an additional $30.0 million of short-term funding available through federal funds lines of credit.
Cash flows from operating activities in 2003 decreased by $1.4 million to $3.4 million, from $4.8 million in 2002. The decrease is due to the decline in net income in 2003 when compared to 2002.
Cash flows used for investing activities totaled $27.3 million in 2003 compared to cash used in 2002 of $11.2 million. Increases in net loans to customers and net securities purchases in 2003 were offset by a decrease in federal funds sold and an increase in securities prepayments.
Cash flows from financing activities decreased $24.6 million in 2003 due mostly to no issuance of long-term debt in 2003. An increase in short-term borrowings offset by a decrease in total deposits made up the remaining difference in financing activity.
In the first quarter of 2004, the Corporation repositioned the investment portfolio to address its alternative minimum tax position.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Corporation has outstanding commitments to fund loans that are made in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2003, the commitments stood at $34.2 million.
The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk. These commitments consist mainly of loans approved but not yet funded, unused lines of credit and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. 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. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the financial or performance obligation of a customer to a third party. Unused commitments at December 31, 2003 were $34.8 million. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Corporation. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.
The Corporation has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.

Included in U.S. Government Agencies are mortgage-backed securities. These securities carry an amortized cost of $102.0 million 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.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Review
Maintaining a high quality loan portfolio is of great importance to the Corporation. The Corporation manages the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio through the use of prudent lending policies and procedures and monitors risk through a periodic review process provided by internal auditors, regulatory authorities and internal loan review procedures. These reviews include an analysis of credit quality, diversification of industry, compliance with policies and procedures, and current economic conditions. In addition to these reviews, the Corporation annually has commercial loan reviews performed by a third party specializing in this area.
The Corporation’s credit culture fosters and actively supports the extension of credit on sound, fundamental lending policies. Each credit is to be logical, legal, constructive and acceptable within policy guidelines. Credit is only to be granted to reputable borrowers believed to be reputable and only when supported by acceptable financial information consistent with underwriting standards.
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.
The amount of the provision for loan losses was $39,000 in 2003, $298,000 in 2002 and $540,000 in 2001. The decrease in the provision is due to the reduction in “impaired” loans and management’s assessment of the risk inherent in the remaining loan portfolio. For each of the same years, the net charge-off against the allowance for loan losses was $284,000, $405,000 and $462,000, respectively.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimates of losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover losses which may be realized in the future, or that additional provisions for losses on loans will not be required.
The table below provides an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the five years ended December 31, 2003:

Management’s review and evaluation of loan loss experience and loan loss potential on outstanding loans occurs on a quarterly basis and includes a review of such factors as charge-off history, delinquent loans, loan collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, current economic conditions and the current requirements of the appropriate regulatory agencies. As a result of this on-going study, management believes that the allowance amount shown for December 31, 2003 is adequate to offset the losses which may exist as a result of under collateralization or uncollectibility.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for loan losses for the past five years.

Loans that were past due 90 days or more, or were on non-accrual represented 1.25% of total loans on December 31, 2003, 1.59% on December 31, 2002 and 1.29% on December 31, 2001. The Corporation’s policy is to place a loan on non-accrual basis when it becomes 90 days past due provided that the loan is well collateralized and evidence indicates a reasonable likelihood for collection. Also, a loan is placed on non-accrual in the event of a material decline in business activity that may hinder the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.
As of December 31, 2003, $867,000 of non-accrual loans were paying principal or principal and interest with payments recognized on a cash basis. 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, 2003, the Corporation had $1.0 million in foreclosed real estate.
Capital
The shareholders’ equity or the capital base represents the investment by the Corporation’s owners either initially or through retention of earnings (net after income tax less dividend payments). This investment acts as a safeguard against future uncertainties. The amount of capital which is deemed appropriate is dependent upon an assessment of the Corporation’s total assets, the quality of its loans and securities, its historical earnings record, its business prospects for the near and long term, the management and information systems in place and the general competence and abilities of the Corporation’s management.
The Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital adequacy standards are designed principally as a measure of credit risk. These standards require that (1) at least 50% of total capital must be common and certain other “core” equity capital (“Tier I Capital”); (2) assets and off-balance sheet items must be weighted according to risk; (3) the total capital to risk-weighted asset ratio must be at least 8%; and (4) a minimum 4% leverage ratio of Tier I Capital to average total assets must be maintained.
As of December 31, 2003, the Corporation had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted asset ratios of 23.3% and 24.6%, respectively. At December 31, 2003, the leverage ratio was 11.9%. At December 31, 2002, the Corporation had Tier I and total equity capital to risk adjusted assets ratios of 22.5% and 23.8%, respectively.
The table below presents the Corporation’s capital position at December 31, 2003.

Inflation and Changing Prices
Inflation can be significant to a banking institution because of its implication for the interest rate environment and its influence on personnel expenses and the costs of supplies and materials needed for daily operations. However, such a large portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are represented by monetary investments, inflationary impact tends to be dampened except for the differences caused by maturity variances. Management efforts to gauge and control these variances have been discussed earlier under rate sensitivity. 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.

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, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Commercial National Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As disclosed in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation determined that the acquisition of its insurance agency was incorrectly accounted for which resulted in an impairment charge for goodwill in its 2003 financial statements. Accordingly, the 2003 consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the impairment charge.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania (the Bank), formerly known as Commercial National Bank of Pennsylvania, Commercial National Insurance Services, Inc. (CNIS) and Highview Trust Company. In December 2002, CNIS acquired The Gooder Agency, Inc. (Gooder). Gooder is a full service provider of insurance products to individuals and businesses and acts as an agent for fifteen national, regional and mutual insurance companies. In July 2003, the Bank’s application to convert to a Pennsylvania state chartered bank was approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, and the Bank changed its name to Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania. In October 2003, the Corporation’s application to form a trust company subsidiary was approved. This subsidiary, Highview Trust Company (HTC), enables the Corporation to offer more investment products and the Corporation’s current trust operations were transferred to HTC from the Bank. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides full banking services. The Corporation is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. The Bank’s primary business consists of taking deposits and granting loans to customers who generally do business in the area of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
The following summary of accounting and reporting policies is presented to aid the reader in obtaining a better understanding of the consolidated financial statements and related financial data of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries contained in this report. Such policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and to general practice within the banking industry.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.
Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk
Most of the Corporation’s activities are with customers located within Westmoreland County of Pennsylvania. Note 4 discusses the types of securities that the Corporation invests in. Note 5 discusses the types of lending that the Corporation engages in. The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer. Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, exposure to credit loss can be adversely impacted by downturns in local economic and employment conditions.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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, net of the related deferred income tax effect. 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.
Restricted Investments in Bank Stock
Federal law requires the Bank, a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, to hold stock of its district Federal Home Loan Bank according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock is carried at cost.
Loans
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of associated direct costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Corporation is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.
The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Corporation’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
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.
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, 2003 and 2002 was $1,027,000 and $344,000, respectively, and is included in other assets.
Intangible Assets
The Corporation has amortizable intangible assets related to customer lists and core deposit intangibles acquired in 2002 and 2003 through the acquisition of insurance agencies and a branch office. These intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of ten years. The Corporation has amortizable intangible assets at December 31, 2003 of $1,683,000, net of accumulated amortization of $241,000, which are included in other assets (see Note 20). Amortization expense of $202,000 and $39,000 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be $193,000 per year for the next five years.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. For financial statement reporting and income tax purposes, depreciation is computed both on straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful life of the premises and equipment. Charges for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Amortization is charged over the term of the respective lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
The Corporation invests in bank owned life insurance (BOLI) as a source of funding for employee benefit expenses. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Corporation on a chosen group of employees. The Corporation is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. This life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies and is included in other assets in the amount of $11,092,000 and $10,591,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Income from the investment in the policies is included in other income on the income statement.
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, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $187,000, $233,000 and $149,000, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the balance sheet when they are funded.
Trust Operations
Trust income is recorded on the cash basis, which approximates the accrual basis. Securities and other property held by the Corporation in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers of the Trust Department are not assets of the Corporation and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. These differences are measured at the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The Corporation and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share have been calculated on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 3,441,556 in 2003, 3,425,858 in 2002 and 3,432,389 in 2001. The Corporation currently maintains a simple capital structure, thus there are no dilutive effects on earnings per share.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 retained earnings.
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 captions, “Cash and due from banks” and “Interest bearing deposits with banks.”
Segment Reporting
The Corporation acts as an independent community financial services provider and offers traditional banking and related financial services to individual, business and government customers. The Corporation offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including the taking of time, savings and demand deposits, the making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans and the providing of other financial services.
Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial and retail operations of the Corporation. As such, discrete information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2002 and 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation format. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
New Accounting Standards
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This Interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under certain specified guarantees. Under FIN 45, the Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit, as discussed in Note 7. Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” FIN 46 was revised in December 2003. This Interpretation provides new guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) and requires such entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risk among parties involved. The Interpretation also adds disclosure requirements for investors that are involved with unconsolidated VIEs. The disclosure requirements apply to all financial statements issued after December 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to companies that have interests in special purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Consolidation of other types of VIEs is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of this Interpretation did not have and is not expected to have an impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
New Accounting Standards (Continued)
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 149, “Amendment of Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This Statement clarifies the definition of a derivative and incorporates certain decisions made by the Board as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003 and should be applied prospectively. The provisions of the Statement that relate to implementation issues addressed by the Derivatives Implementation Group that have been effective should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective dates. Adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This Statement requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. Many of these instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise was effective beginning July 1, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.
Note 2 - Acquisitions And Divestitures
On January 3, 2003, the Corporation acquired certain insurance agency accounts from an employee of the Corporation’s insurance agency subsidiary, Gooder. The Corporation paid cash of $100,000 for the accounts. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the $100,000 has been allocated to identifiable intangible assets representing the fair value of the acquired customer list. The results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. The impact of the acquisition on the Corporation’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 was not material.
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 $756,000 and paid cash of $235,000 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 total purchase price of $991,000 has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon fair value at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets of $849,000 representing the fair value of the acquired customer lists. 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 results of operations of Gooder and G&M on the consolidated results of operations of the Corporation in 2003 was not material (see Note 20).
On September 27, 2002, the Bank 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 $7,709,000, loans of $5,821,000 and equipment of $10,000 resulting in a gain of $470,000.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 - Acquisitions And Divestitures (Continued)
On June 29, 2002, the Bank acquired the deposit liabilities, equipment and loans outstanding of a 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 $11,514,000, acquired loans of $8,000,000 and equipment of $9,000. The premium paid to acquire the Norwin Branch amounted to $975,000, was allocated to a core deposit intangible and is being amortized over a period of ten years.
Note 3 - Cash and Due from Banks
Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System impose uniform reserve requirements on all depository institutions with transaction accounts (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, 2003 and 2002 was approximately $3,858,000 and $4,050,000, respectively.

Unrealized losses in obligations of U.S. Government agencies and state and political subdivisions are due to a change in interest rates subsequent to when the securities were purchased. The unrealized loss in equity securities is also due to market timing differences. At December 31, 2003, all debt securities with temporarily impaired losses have been rated by either Moody’s and/or S&P with an “A” or better debt rating. Management believes the unrealized losses are temporary and that the Corporation has the ability to hold the securities until maturity or market price recovery.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued amounted to $2,331,000 and $2,679,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, 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 $5,000 and $3,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 and financial standby 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 and financial standby letters of credit written is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making such commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The following table identifies the contract or notional amount of those instruments:
December 31, |

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: |

|||
Financial standby letters of credit |

3,700 |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to secure the performance of a customer to a third party. The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The Corporation requires collateral supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary. The maximum undiscounted exposure related to these commitments at December 31, 2003 was $3,427,000 and the approximate value of underlying collateral upon liquidation that would be expected to cover this maximum potential exposure was $3,196,000. The current amount of the liability as of December 31, 2003 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 12 - 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 $628,000, $608,000 and $595,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Note 13 - 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.

Note 16 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Below are various estimated fair values at December 31, 2003 and 2002, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (FAS 107). Such information, which pertains to the Corporation’s financial instruments, is based on the requirements set forth in FAS 107 and does not purport to represent the aggregate net fair value of the Corporation. It is the Corporation’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity, except for certain securities designated as securities available for sale, and not to engage in trading activities. Many of the financial instruments lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Therefore, the Corporation had to use significant estimations and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure.
Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and the methodologies in absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating financial instrument fair values:
Cash and Short Term Investments
The carrying amounts for cash and short-term investments approximate the estimated fair values of such assets.
Securities
Fair values for securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Restricted Investments in Bank Stock
The carrying amounts of restricted investments in bank stock approximate the estimated fair value of such assets.
Loans Receivable
Fair values of variable rate loans subject to frequent repricing and which entail no significant credit risk are based on the carrying values. The estimated fair values of other loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Deposits
For deposits which are payable on demand at the reporting date, representing all deposits other than time deposits, management estimated that the carrying value of such deposits is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Fair values of time deposits are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered and a schedule of aggregate expected maturities.
Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying amounts for short-term borrowings approximate the estimated fair value of such liabilities.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 16 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
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.
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.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments as of December 31 are presented in the following table:

Note 17 - 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 2003. 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 $1,381,000 and $1,656,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Note 18 - Capital Requirements
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, 2003, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 18 - Capital Requirements (Continued)
As of December 31, 2003, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed those categories.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 20 - Restatement
In May 2004, subsequent to the issuance of the Corporation’s 2003 consolidated financial statements, the Corporation signed a letter of intent to sell its insurance agency subsidiary (Gooder), which was acquired in December 2002 (see Note 2). In reviewing the impact of the potential sale of Gooder on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements, management determined that it had incorrectly accounted for the Gooder acquisition. A deferred income tax liability (and corresponding goodwill asset) should have been, but was not, recorded with respect to the difference between the tax basis and the book basis of the intangible assets acquired in the amount of approximately $375,000.
In performing its impairment assessment of the acquired customer lists of Gooder in the fourth quarter of 2003, management determined that no impairment was present based on the carrying amount of these intangible assets. However, the goodwill asset that should have been recorded as a result of the Gooder acquisition was fully impaired. As a result, the 2003 consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect a writedown of goodwill in the amount of $375,000, which is included in Other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income for 2003.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation and Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Corporation carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2003 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time period.
Changes in Internal Controls
There has not been any significant change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or material weakness identified in the internal control over financial reporting, and therefore no corrective actions were taken.
