                   COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 June 30, 2003

Note 1       Basis of Presentation

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 and Commercial National Insurance Services, Inc., (CNIS). 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 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. Gooder’s results of operations are not material to the consolidated financial statements. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  However, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2002, including the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial position as of June 30, 2003 and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the statements of cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.  The results of three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2   Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount added to the allowance against which actual loan losses are charged. The amount of the provision is determined by management through an evaluation of the size and quality of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, concentrations of credit, recent loan loss trends, delinquencies and other risks inherent within the loan portfolio.Based upon the Corporation’s most recent quarterly evaluation, management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to absorb any losses that may occur in the loan portfolio.

The Corporation recorded no provision for the period ended June 30, 2003. By comparison, the Corporation charged to expense $202,030 the period ended a year ago. Net charge-offs amounted to $27,430 and $102,669 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Note 4  Legal Proceedings

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

Note 5  Acquisition

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 $99,864 for the accounts. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. The impact on the Corporation’s results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2003 was not material.

Note 6  New Accounting Standards

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 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.  FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”  In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying that is related to an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed party, which would include financial and standby letters of credit. Certain guarantee contracts are excluded from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of this Interpretation, including, among others, guarantees related to commercial letters of credit and loan commitments.  The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 require disclosure of the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential

COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor’s obligations under the guarantee.  The accounting recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of noncompliance by the other party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Corporation had $3,644,961 of standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2003.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Of these standby letters of credit, $472,245 automatically renew within the next twelve months, $70,044 will expire within the next twelve months and $3,102,672 will expire within thirteen to one hundred and eighty months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments.  The Corporation may require collateral and personal guarantees supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary.  Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral and the enforcement of personal guarantees would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.

In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 effective dates.  Adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Corporation’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”.  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 January 31, 2003.  The consolidation requirements apply immediately to VIEs created after January 31, 2003 and are effective for the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for VIEs acquired before February 1, 2003.  The adoption of this interpretation did not have any 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 any impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

The actual results of future events could differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements herein.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Disclosure of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders, filed as Exhibit 13 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring that significant judgments, estimates and assumptions be made by management. Additional information is contained in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the 2002 Annual Report to the Shareholders for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.

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


Financial Condition

The Corporation’s total assets decreased $12,237,287 from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003.  The decrease was due to declines of $19,545,436 in interest bearing deposits with other banks (IBD) and $14,886,253 in investment securities. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $20,498,269 in loans outstanding. The reduction of IBD’s provided the necessary liquidity for the respective increase in loans and decrease in the Bank’s retail deposits. Total loan volume increased during the year due to the continued success of a residential mortgage loan promotion that commenced during the fourth quarter of 2002. The effect of this promotion resulted in a net increase of $12,060,346 in residential mortgages for the period ended June 30, 2003.

The decrease in deposits of $11,197,952 from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003 is due to the normal fluctuation of demand deposits and the anticipated maturity and runoff of specific public funds being held by the Bank. Aggressive money market and certificates of deposit pricing by the Corporation’s competitors has also led to the decline in deposits.

FINANCIAL CONDITIONS (continued)

Shareholders' equity was $50,822,837 on June 30, 2003 compared to $51,204,502 on December 31, 2002. The decrease is primarily due to comprehensive income of $1,523,620 less cash dividends of $1,725,124 and treasury stock purchases of $180,161. Comprehensive income for the period included net income of $2,247,309 and an unrealized loss on securities available for sale of $723,689. Book value per common share decreased from $14.82 to $14.74 at June 30, 2003. Excluding the net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, book value per share would have been $13.54 at June 30, 2003 compared to $13.41 at year-end 2002.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Six Months of 2003 as compared to the First Six Months of 2002

Pre-tax income for the first six months of 2003 was $2,844,719 compared to $3,577,770 during the same period of 2002, representing a 20.49% decrease. The decrease was the result of lower net interest income and higher net operating expense.

Interest income was $5,740,578, a decrease of 9.94%. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased ninety-one (91) basis points to 6.43%. This was due to the continued low rate environment which resulted in increased loan refinancing activity by existing customers and increased mortgage lending to new customers. The yield on the securities portfolio decreased eighty-seven (87) basis points to 5.70%. This yield was negatively impacted by heavy prepayments on mortgage-backed securities. These funds were reinvested into federal funds sold and other lower yielding assets at current market rates. As a result, the yield on total average earning assets decreased ninety-five (95) basis points to 6.08%. Average earning asset volume rose by $13,267,093, a 4.06% increase.

 

Interest expense was $3,367,013, a decrease of 9.85%. Interest bearing liability costs remain in decline as deposit products continue to reprice at lower rates upon maturity. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities was 2.50%, a forty-four (44) basis points decrease from a year ago. Average interest-bearing liabilities volume rose by $15,413,006, which represented an increase of 6.07%.

Net interest income declined 9.98% to $6,973,775, and represented a $773,818 decrease from the same period a year ago. Management anticipates that net interest income will continue to decline due to significantly lower yields on comparable loan volume and federal funds sold when compared to the same period a year ago. Also, the Corporation will not benefit as much from declining interest costs that have been experienced in recent years.

The Corporation recorded no provision for loan losses for the period ended June 30, 2003 compared to a provision of $202,030 for the period ended June 30, 2002. Contributing to this decrease was improved credit quality and higher concentrations in residential real estate secured loans.

Non-interest income increased $617,277, or 44.50%, to $2,004,397. Of this increase, $454,993 is attributed to the income generated by Gooder which was acquired at the end of 2002. Asset management and trust fees totaled $350,925, representing a 24.48% increase. Higher estate fees and income from third party management fees are the primary reason for this increase. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $48,476 to $403,074. Other service charges and fees decreased $66,115 to $330,382. This decrease is attributable to lower fees and commissions collected by the Bank from products and services. Income from investment in life insurance increased $122,610 to $298,176. This increase is the result of an additional investment of $5,000,000 during the second quarter of 2002. Other income decreased $22,864 to $136,868. This decrease is related to the elimination of merchant income received from credit card activity. The Corporation eliminated this program during the first quarter of 2002.

Non-interest expense reached $6,133,453, an increase of 14.54%, or $778,540. Personnel cost rose 5.07%, which equates to a $143,400 increase. This increase is the result of

staff added in connection with the Gooder acquisition. Net occupancy costs increased 21.71%, or $66,053. Furniture and equipment expense declined by $2,242. Pennsylvania

shares tax expense was $246,288, an increase of 9.56%. Other expense grew by 33.34%, representing a $549,836 increase. This increase is mostly due to increases in legal and

professional fees combined with the amortization and new costs associated with the operation of Gooder.

Federal income tax for the first six months was $597,410 compared to $985,000 for the same period a year ago. The effective tax for the comparable periods are 21.00% and 27.53%, respectively. The drop in effective income tax is due to a combination of greater tax-free income in proportion to lower pretax income when compared to a year ago. Net income decreased $345,461 to $2,247,309, a decrease of 13.32%. The annualized return on average assets was 1.20% for the first six months of 2003 compared to 1.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The annualized return on average equity through June 30, 2003 was 8.78% and was 11.00% through the first six months of 2002.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

The Corporation’s pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2003 decreased 16.21% to $1,380,186 from $1,712,920 for the same period of 2002. The decrease was principally due to the decrease in net interest income.

Interest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $5,027,873, a decrease of 11.80% from interest income of $5,700,828 for the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in interest income is the result of lower rates realized on loans and securities than what were realized a year ago. The loan yield decreased ninety-two (92) basis points to 6.26%, the securities yield decreased seventy-six (76) basis points to 5.60%. The yield on total average earning assets decreased eighty-seven (87) basis points to 5.96%.

Interest expense during the second quarter of 2003 was $1,649,644, a decrease of 14.66% from interest expense of $1,932,992 for the second quarter of 2002. The average interest-bearing liabilities declined by $1,962,461. The decrease in interest expense was the result of lower interest bearing deposit rates enacted by the Bank during this continued historically low interest rate environment. The average cost decreased to 2.48%, a forty-one (41) basis points decrease from a year ago.

Net interest income declined 10.34% to $3,378,229 during the second quarter of 2003 and yielded 3.66% of average total assets compared to 4.18% during the same period a year ago.

There was no provision for loan losses recorded during the second quarter of 2003 while $162,816 was charged to expense in the second quarter of 2002.

Non-interest income increased $369,959 or 52.88%, to $1,069,618 during the second quarter of 2003. Asset management and trust income increased $52,979 on higher estate management fees. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 21.19% to $217,962. This increase is the result of the implementation of the Bank’s overdraft protection program during the second quarter. Other service charges and fees declined by 18.98% due to lower fees and commissions collected for products and services. Income from Gooder represented a $264,526 increase from insurance income a year ago. With the additional Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) income investment reflected for all of 2003, BOLI increased $49,272 over 2002 BOLI income. Other income decreased 8.72% to $71,241.

Non-interest expense increased $410,172 during the second quarter of 2003, a 15.43% increase from the same period in 2002. Personnel costs rose by $69,903 to $1,441,596 on additional staffing associated with the Gooder acquisition. Net occupancy expense rose $26,763, a 17.88% increase. Furniture and equipment expense increased only $481. Pennsylvania shares tax expense rose $11,005, an increase of 9.69%. Other expense increased $302,022 during the second quarter of 2003, a 35.98% increase from the same period in 2002. Increases in legal and professional fees combined with operating

expenses associated with Gooder and the amortization of intangibles related to the branch and Gooder acquisitions in 2002 contributed to this increase.

Federal income tax on total second quarter of 2003 pretax earnings was $275,510 compared to $449,300 a year ago. The second quarter effective tax rate was 19.96% and 27.28%, respectively. This decrease is due to higher tax-free income in relation to lower pretax income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Net income after taxes

declined $93,214 to $1,104,676, equating to a 7.78% decrease. The annualized return on average assets was 1.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 1.33% for the second quarter of 2002. The annualized return on average equity for the second quarter of 2003 was 8.88% compared to 10.09% for the second quarter of 2002.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity, the measure of the Corporation's ability to meet the normal cash flow needs of depositors and borrowers in an efficient manner, is generated primarily from the acquisition of deposit funds and the maturity of loans and securities. A large component of the decline in deposits from December 31, 2002 can be attributed to a single relationship. This relationship had a matured certificate of deposit that was not renewed and other sources of funds that were used for annual operating expenditures. Additional liquidity can be provided by the sale of investment securities that amounted to approximately $130,000,000 with net unrealized gains of $6,299,053 on June 30, 2003.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. The FHLB provides an additional source of liquidity for long and short-term funding. As of June 30, 2003, the Corporation had available funding of $197,538,000 at the FHLB. Additional short-term funding is available through federal funds lines of credit that are established with correspondent banks.

During the first six months of 2003, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $15,413,006 over the same period in 2002. The average increased due to $20,000,000 in fixed rate advances, acquired during the second quarter of 2002, reflected for the full six months of 2003 and only a portion of the six month ended period for 2002.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

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

INTEREST SENSITIVITY

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

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

The cumulative gap at the one-year repricing period was positive in the amount of $52.010 million or 15.44% of total earning assets at March 31, 2003. An asset or liability is considered to be sensitive if its cashflow optionality or the interest yield it earns or pays is set to change within a certain time period. When the amount of 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. Although the gap analysis provides management with a method of measuring current interest rate risk, it only measures rate sensitivity at a specific point in time, and as a result may not accurately predict the impact of changes in general levels of interest rates or net interest income.

CREDIT QUALITY RISK

The following table presents a comparison of loan quality as of June 30, 2003 with that as of June 30, 2002. Non-accrual loans are those for which interest income is recorded only when received and past due loans are those which are contractually past due 90 days or more in respect to interest or principal payments. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any unpaid interest is charged against income.Non-accrual loans remain high due to the general economic slowdown and the Corporation’s implementation of an enhanced loan assessment program. The assessment program enhances the Corporation’s ability to identify loans which may be problems or which the borrower may be unable to pay under the terms of the original agreement. The Corporation’s credit quality continues to improve due to a concentrated effort targeting real estate secured loans in the residential and commercial sectors. On June 30, 2003, $867,906 of the non-accrual loans were current with payments recognized on a cash basis only.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines are designed principally as a measure of credit risk. These guidelines require that: (1) at least 50% of a banking organization's total capital be common and certain other "core" equity capital ("Tier I Capital"); (2) assets and off-balance sheet items must be weighted according to risk; and (3) the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio be at least 8.00%; and (4) a minimum 4.00% leverage ratio of Tier I capital to average total assets be maintained for financial institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including asset quality, high liquidity, low interest-rate exposure and the highest regulatory rating.  As of June 30, 2003, the Corporation, under these guidelines, had Tier I and total equity capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 23.15% and 24.41% respectively. The leverage ratio was 12.40%. The capital ratios of the Bank are not materially different than the ratios of the Corporation.

        ITEM 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Asset/Liability management refers to management’s efforts to minimize fluctuations in net interest income caused by interest rate changes. This is accomplished by managing the yield and cost levels along with repricing of rate sensitive interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Controlling the maturity or repricing of an institution’s liabilities and assets in order to minimize interest rate risk is commonly referred to as gap management. Close matching of the repricing of assets and liabilities will normally result in minimal changes in net interest income as interest rates change.

Under the protracted low interest rate environment in which we are operating, management expects net interest income and net income to remain pressured due to ongoing yield decreases in interest earning assets in conjunction with more limited decreases in interest bearing liability costs.

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

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Corporation maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in this Form 10-Q, and in other reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms for such filings. Management of the Corporation, under the direction of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15a(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2003. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with other key management of the Corporation, have determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were and are effective as designed to ensure that material information relating to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Corporation by the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods.


Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
