MANAGEMENT’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholders:
People all over the world have been experiencing a global revolution brought about by advances in technology, communications and economic and financial systems. Simply stated, globalization has created an environment which has the potential of creating positive and negative results.
Because of our position within the banking system here in Pennsylvania and specifically Central Pennsylvania as a full-service financial institution with its roots embedded in the communities it serves, this identity gives our shareholders a distinct advantage. We belong as a unique member of the community, not just an impersonal financial statistic in a far-away geographic location. The Bank truly knows its customers and clients and their special needs and challenges, each day, each month, year in and year out. This knowledge has helped us grow from a $100 million institution in 1997 to $200 million in 2002 to over $300 million in 2007.
It is from that perspective that we are pleased to report another year of impressive financial growth with diversification objectives and opportunities beneficial to shareholders, even in a climate that poses challenges not only to the Bank and its long-term goals, but to our overall economy, as well.
In addition, as you know, Chairman James R. McLaughlin expressed his desire to scale back his duties as Chairman due to some health issues and in order to spend more time with family. He has since been named Chairman Emeritus for the Corporation and the Bank. Accordingly, John P. Henry III was unanimously elected by the Board to serve as Chairman, effective January 1, 2008. Mr. McLaughlin will remain on the Board as a Director. We appreciate his continued service.
As you will see from the following pages, we continue to build our team of community bankers. Their efforts, as well as those of all of our directors, advisory board members and employees are integral to our success.
Financial highlights for the year 2007 include:
| • | | Bank assets grew to $302.295 million, a significant milestone for the Bank. |
| • | | One of the highest asset growth years in the history of the Bank, a total of $23.775 million or 8.5%. |
| • | | Deposits grew by $22.672 million or 10.2%. |
| • | | Loans increased by $13.314 million or 7.4%. |
| • | | Shareholders equity grew by $1.859 million or 9.4%. |
We continue to be optimistic that your Bank will continue to register impressive growth and record positive results in the years ahead, despite a period of recent financial turbulence worldwide that has been challenging and unprecedented in the world of banking and finance.
2
During such times, we remain committed to the traditional, conservative, community banking values that have served us well for the past 144 years.
As always, your investment in our company is greatly appreciated.

IN MEMORIAN: SAMUEL FRANKLIN METZ, JR
(1917-2007)
The First Community Financial Corporation and The First National Bank of Mifflintown mourn the passing of Mr. Metz who died April 3, 2007. He had long and distinguished career at the financial institutions. He served as Chairman of the Board from 1989 until 2004 and had been a member of the Board of Directors since 1959 until his retirement in 2006. During those years he played a leadership role in introducing innovative measures which contribute today to our healthy financial growth and stability.

REPORTOF MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENTOF INTERNAL CONTROLOVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
First Community Financial Corporation is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.
We, as management of First Community Financial Corporation, are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Corporation; provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and receipts and expenditures of the Corporation are only being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Corporation; and provide a reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are noted.
Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only a reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Management assessed the Corporation’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, in relation to the criteria for effective control over financial reporting as described in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2007, its system of internal control over financial reporting is effective and meets the criteria of the “Internal Control – Integrated Framework.”

REPORTOF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
First Community Financial Corporation
Mifflintown, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Community Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. First Community Financial Corporation’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Community Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 17 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation changed its method of quantifying misstatements of prior year financial statements. The Corporation adopted the dual method, as required by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”.

FIRST COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
First Community Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Mifflintown (the Bank), provide loan, deposit, trust and other related financial services through eleven full service banking offices in Juniata and Perry Counties of Pennsylvania. The Corporation’s other subsidiary, First Community Financial Capital Trust I (the Trust), was established during December 2003 for the purpose of issuing $5,000,000 of trust preferred securities. The Corporation is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Bank and the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Basis of Presentation
The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
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 as of the balance sheet dates, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the years then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change are the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the evaluation of other than temporary impairment of securities.
Assets held by the Trust Department in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers are excluded from the financial statements since they do not constitute assets of the Corporation. The market value of assets held by the Trust Department amounted to $82,918,000 and $82,204,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Income from fiduciary activities is recognized on the accrual method.
Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk
Most of the Corporation’s activities are with customers located within the Central Pennsylvania region. Note 3 discusses the types of securities that the Corporation invests in. Note 4 discusses the types of lending that the Corporation engages in. The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and due from banks, interest bearing demand deposits, federal funds sold and investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less. Federal funds are typically purchased and sold for one day periods.
Securities
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Securities available for sale are those securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell an available for sale security would be based on various factors. These securities are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains (losses) are reported as changes in shareholders’ equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. Premiums and discounts are recognized as interest income over the estimated lives of the securities, using the interest method.

NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Securities (Continued)
Securities held to maturity are those securities that the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold to maturity. These securities are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which is recognized as interest income over their estimated lives, using the interest method.
Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
Time Certificates of Deposit
Time certificates of deposit are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Loans
Loans 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, net of an allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Corporation is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.
The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 to 120 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 non-accrual 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 non-accrual 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.
FIRST COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Corporation’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.
The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For such loans, 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 for 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, financial and agricultural 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 installment and residential loans for impairment disclosures unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
Restricted Investment in Bank Stocks
Restricted investment in bank stocks includes Federal Reserve, Atlantic Central Bankers Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stocks. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. The stock is carried at cost.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the lease terms. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred and expenditures for significant improvements are capitalized.

NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Foreclosed Real Estate
Foreclosed real estate includes assets acquired through foreclosure and loans identified as in-substance foreclosures. A loan is classified as in-substance foreclosure when the Corporation has taken possession of the collateral regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. Foreclosed real estate is valued at its estimated fair market value, net of selling costs, at the time of foreclosure. Gains and losses resulting from the sale or write-down of foreclosed real estate are recorded in other income. Foreclosed real estate, which is included in other assets, amounted to $0 and $255,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Advertising Costs
The Corporation charges the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising expense was $103,000, $92,000, and $76,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Earnings per Share
The Corporation has a simple capital structure. Basic earnings per share represents net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 1,400,000 in all periods presented.
Segment Reporting
Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial, retail, trust and other operations of the Corporation. As such, discrete financial information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.
Comprehensive Income
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Changes in certain assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale, 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.

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 standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.
New Accounting Standards
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. SFAS 156 was effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s Results of Operations or financial condition.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that companies recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1 “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The provisions of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 were effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle is recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings, if required. The Corporation’s adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2008, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

New Accounting Standards (Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued proposed FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-b, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” that would permit a one-year deferral in applying the measurement provisions of Statement No. 157 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities (non-financial items) that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, if the change in fair value of a non-financial item is not required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on an annual basis of more frequently, the effective date of application of Statement 157 to that item is deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This deferral does not apply, however, to an entity that applies Statement 157 in interim or annual financial statements before proposed FSP 157-b is finalized. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of FSP 157-b will have on the Corporation’s operating income or net earnings.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to chose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for our Corporation on January 1, 2008. The Corporation has not early adopted this standard, and is presently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
FASB statement No. 141 (R) Business Combinationswas issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The new pronouncement will impact the Corporation’s accounting for business combinations beginning January 1, 2009.
FASB statement No. 160Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Corporation believes that this new pronouncement will have an immaterial impact on the Corporations’ financial statements in future periods.
In September 2006, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee’s benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee’s active service period

should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. Alternatively, if the policy holder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principals Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The disclosures are required in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. In light of the guidance provided in EITF 06-4, on January 1, 2008, the Corporation will record a $195,000 cumulative effect charge to retained earnings to reflect the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by endorsement split-dollar insurance arrangements.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110) amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment,” of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue use of the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. SAB 110 is effective January 1, 2008.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 (SAB 109), “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings” expresses the views of the staff regarding written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings under generally accepted accounting principles. To make the staff’s views consistent with current authoritative accounting guidance, the SAB revises and rescinds portions of SAB No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments.” Specifically, the SAB revises the SEC staff’s views on incorporating expected net future cash flows related to loan servicing activities in the fair value measurement of a written loan commitment. The SAB retains the staff’s views on incorporating expected net future cash flows related to internally-developed intangible assets in the fair value measurement of a written loan commitment. The staff expects registrants to apply the views in Question 1 of SAB 109 on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The Corporation does not expect SAB 109 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Reclassifications
For comparative purposes prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2007 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income.
NOTE 2—RESTRICTIONSON CASHAND DUEFROM BANKS
In return for services obtained through correspondent banks, the Corporation is required to maintain non-interest bearing cash balances in those correspondent banks. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, compensating balances approximated $493,000 and $468,000, respectively. During 2007 average required balances totaled $491,000 and during 2006 totaled $466,000.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
At December 31, 2007, 60 mortgage-backed and U.S. agency securities have unrealized losses. The aggregate depreciation from the Corporation’s amortized cost basis on these securities is 1.0%. In management’s opinion, these unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates.
At December 31, 2007, 26 state and municipal securities have unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of 1.8% from the Corporation’s amortized cost basis. In management’s opinion, these unrealized losses relate primarily to changes in interest rates. In analyzing the issuer’s financial condition, management considers the issuer’s bond rating as well as the financial performance of the respective municipality.
As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until recovery, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.
Amortized cost and fair value at December 31, 2007 by contractual maturity are shown below. Municipal securities with prerefunded issues are included in the category in which payment is expected to occur. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay with or without penalties.

The Bank grants commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers primarily within Juniata and Perry Counties of Pennsylvania and the surrounding area. A large portion of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.

Convertible advances allow the FHLB the periodic option to convert to a LIBOR adjustable-rate advance after the specified fixed rate period has elapsed. At December 31, 2007, the FHLB has the option to convert advances to rates that range from three month LIBOR plus 0.07% to 0.13%, of which $12 million is eligible for the conversion option, but not exercised by the FHLB, at December 31, 2007. The remaining $5 million is eligible for conversion in 2008. Upon the FHLB’s conversion option being exercised, the Bank has the option to repay the respective advance in full.
The Corporation has a maximum borrowing capacity through the Federal Home Loan Bank of approximately $139,122,000, of which $121,122,000 was available at December 31, 2007. The borrowing capacity is collateralized by security agreements in certain residential real estate backed assets of the Corporation, including loans and investments.
The Corporation has issued $5,155,000 of floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures to a non-consolidated subsidiary trust, First Community Financial Capital Trust I (the Trust). The Corporation owns all of the common equity of the Trust. The debentures held by the trust are the sole assets of the trust.
The Trust issued $5,000,000 of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities to third-party investors. The Corporation’s obligations under the debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Corporation of the Trust’s obligations under the preferred securities. The junior subordinated debt securities pay interest quarterly at 3-month LIBOR plus 3.00%, (8.24% at December 31, 2007) subject to a cap of 12.00% through January 7, 2009. The preferred securities are redeemable by the Corporation at 100% of principal plus accrued interest on or after January 7, 2009. The preferred securities must be redeemed upon maturity of the debentures on January 7, 2034. The terms of the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures match those of the preferred securities.
NOTE 8—OPERATING LEASES
The Corporation leases its Delaware (Juniata County) and Shermans Dale offices and the land on which its East Waterford office was constructed. The Corporation has an option through 2010 to purchase the land, for predetermined prices ranging from $105,000 up to $125,000. The Corporation also receives rental income for leasing of available space at its West Perry, Mifflintown and Loysville offices. Net lease expense was $7,000 in 2007, $4,000 in 2006, and $3,000 in 2005 after deducting rental expense of $61,000, $59,000, and $60,000, respectively.

NOTE 10—RETIREMENT PLANS
The Corporation maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of eligible employees. Employer contributions include matching a portion of employee contributions and a discretionary contribution determined by the Corporation. Corporation contributions to the Plan were $128,000, $133,000, and $129,000, for 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
The Corporation maintains non-qualified compensation plans for selected employees (supplemental retirement) and directors (deferred fees). The estimated present value of future benefits is accrued over the period from the effective date of the agreements until the expected retirement dates of the individuals. Expenses include the following amounts for these non-qualified plans:

To fund the benefits under these plans, the Corporation is the owner of single premium life insurance policies on participants in the non-qualified retirement plans. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the cash value of these policies was $4,765,000 and $4,665,000, respectively.
NOTE 11—REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the 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 Corporation’s 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 their 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 weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth below) of Tier 1 capital to average assets and of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, that the Corporation and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the regulators categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Corporation in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Regulatory approval is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds net profits (as defined) for that year combined with the retained net profits for the two preceding calendar years. At December 31, 2007, approximately $4,592,000 of undistributed earnings of the Bank, included in consolidated shareholders’ equity, was available for distribution to the Corporation as dividends without prior regulatory approval.
FIRST COMMUNITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 12—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSWITH 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 consist primarily of commitments to extend credit (typically mortgages and commercial loans) and, to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.
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 and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments. The Corporation does not anticipate any material losses from these 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 creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extensions of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. On loans secured by real estate, the Corporation generally requires loan to value ratios of no greater than 80%.
Standby letters of credit 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 and similar transactions. The terms of the letters of credit vary and may have renewal features. The credit risk involved in using letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Corporation holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.

NOTE 13—FAIR VALUEOF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year end.
The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. For the following financial instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents
Time certificates of deposit
Accrued interest receivable
Restricted investment in bank stocks
Short-term borrowings
Junior subordinated debt
Accrued interest payable
For investment securities, fair value is based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.
For floating rate loans that reprice frequently and which entail no significant changes in credit risk, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed rate loans, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, at interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
For demand deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For savings and time deposits, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, at interest rates currently offered for deposits with similar maturities.
For long-term borrowings, fair value is based on currently available rates for borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Off balance sheet instruments of the Bank consist of letters of credit, loan commitments and unfunded lines of credit. Fair value is estimated using fees currently charged for similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties credit standings. Any fees charged are immaterial.

NOTE 17—CUMULATIVE EFFECT ADJUSTMENT – ADOPTION OF STAFF ACCOUNTING BULLETIN (SAB) #108
In connection with the preparation of our 2006 consolidated financial statements, management evaluated its known differences between the amounts reported in previous financial statements and actual records. In making its evaluation, management considered the guidance contained in SAB #108, which required management to consider materiality at both the consolidated income statement and balance sheet. Management had typically evaluated its differences in a manner consistent with the “rollover” approach, and utilized the income statement as the primary basis for evaluating materiality. Applying this approach and assessing qualitative factors, management previously considered these differences to be immaterial. In light of the guidance provided in SAB #108, and our evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, management recorded a $221,000 charge, net of tax, to January 1, 2006 retained earnings to properly reflect all known differences in other asset and other liability accounts. Management has elected not to restate prior financial statements, as management feels it had properly adopted the rollover approach of evaluating differences, including assessing qualitative factors. The charge relates to known differences between prepaid and accrued expense accounts which totaled $335,000. Differences resulted from not settling account balances to zero once all amounts were paid out or remaining lives expired, or converting from the cash to accrual basis of accounting for certain items.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL
CONDITIONAND RESULTSOF OPERATIONS
The following discussion represents management’s analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of First Community Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for historical information, this report may be deemed to contain “forward-looking” statements regarding the Corporation. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (a) projections or statements regarding future earnings, expenses, net interest income, other income, earnings or loss per share, asset mix and quality, growth prospects, capital structure and other financial terms, (b) statements of plans and objectives of management or the board of directors, and (c) statements of assumptions, such as economic conditions in the Corporation’s market areas. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “intends,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates,” or the negative of any of the foregoing or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy.
No assurance can be given that the future results covered by forward-looking statements will be achieved. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could impact the Corporation’s operating results include, but are not limited to, (i) the effects of changing economic conditions in the Corporation’s market areas and nationally, (ii) credit risks of commercial, real estate, consumer and other lending activities, (iii) significant changes in interest rates, (iv) changes in federal and state banking laws and regulations which could impact the Corporation’s operations, (v) funding costs and (vi) other external developments which could materially affect the Corporation’s business and operations.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Corporation’s results are primarily determined by the results of operations of its principal subsidiary, The First National Bank of Mifflintown (the Bank). The Bank is a traditional community bank which operates branches in two rural counties of central Pennsylvania. The Bank’s earnings are largely driven by its net interest income.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Corporation to make estimates and assumptions (see footnote 1 to the financial statements). The Corporation believes that of its significant accounting policies, the allowance for loan losses and valuation of its securities may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a charge to earnings for the provision for loan losses. In determining the balance in the allowance for loan losses, 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, borrowers’ perceived financial and managerial strengths, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent, or present value of future cash flows and other relevant factors. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses. Additional information is provided in the “Provision for Loan Losses” and “Allowance for Loan Losses” sections.
Declines in the fair value of securities held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. No securities were deemed to be other than temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2007.
OVERVIEW
In 2007, the Corporation recorded net income of $2,017,000, an increase of $52,000 or 2.6%, from net income of $1,965,000 in 2006.
The increase in net income during 2007 as compared to 2006 is primarily a result of the following:
| • | | Increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $232,000; |
| • | | Increase in total other income of $187,000; |
| • | | Increase in total other operating expenses of $328,000; and |
| • | | Increase in provision for income taxes of $39,000. |
Basic earnings per share were $1.44 in 2007 compared to $1.40 in 2006. Return on average equity for 2007 was 9.91% compared to 10.50% in 2006. Return on average assets was 0.70% for 2007 compared with 0.72% in 2006.
During 2007, the Corporation experienced $13,295,000 or 7.5% growth in loans, $14,541,000 or 20.8% growth in securities, and $22,672,000 or 10.2% growth in deposits. These increases were offset by a $2,350,000 or 18.9% decrease in cash and cash equivalents. As a result of these trends total assets of the Corporation grew by $23,775,000 or 8.5%.
RESULTSOF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOMEAND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on investments and loans, and interest expense incurred on deposits and other liabilities. For analysis purposes, net interest income is evaluated on a fully tax equivalent (FTE) basis. The FTE basis is calculated by grossing up the yield on tax-exempt securities and loans by the Federal tax rate of 34%, in order that the yield on tax-exempt assets may be comparable to interest earned on taxable assets. The factors that affect net interest income include changes in interest rates and changes in average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income on an FTE basis increased to $7,783,000 in 2007 from $7,518,000 in 2006 and $7,437,000 in 2005.

Interest income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis, assuming a tax rate of 34%.
The net change attributable to the combination of rate and volume has been allocated to the change due to volume.
2007 VERSUS 2006
During 2007, tax equivalent interest income increased by $1,698,000 compared to 2006 fueled by both an increase in earning assets and an increase in the yield on earning assets of 0.23%. Average loans increased $12,801,000 impacting interest income by $898,000 and the yield on loans increased 0.14% impacting interest income by $249,000. Total average securities increased $3,993,000 increasing interest income $159,000 and the yield on securities increased 0.35% increasing interest income $296,000.
Total average interest-bearing liabilities grew by $13,257,000 between 2007 and 2006 increasing interest expense by $597,000 for 2007, and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 0.40% increasing interest expense by $836,000.
The net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to interest-earning assets, reflecting a net yield on earning assets. The 0.09% decrease in net interest margin from 2006 to 2007 reflects the increase in rates on interest-bearing liabilities out-pacing the increase in rates on interest-earning assets.
2006 VERSUS 2005
During 2006, tax equivalent interest income increased by $1,815,000 compared to 2005 fueled by both an increase in earning assets and an increase in the yield on earning assets of 0.36%. Average loans increased $19,444,000 impacting interest income by 1,345,000 and the yield on loans increased 0.18% impacting interest income by $257,000. Total average securities decreased $4,137,000 negatively impacting interest income by $184,000, but a 0.43% increase in the yield on securities positively impacted interest income by $321,000.
NET INTEREST INCOMEAND NET INTEREST MARGIN (CONTINUED)
Total average interest-bearing liabilities grew by $13,915,000 between 2005 and 2006 increasing interest expense by $768,000 for 2006, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 0.58%, which also increased interest expense by $966,000.
The net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to interest-earning assets, reflecting a net yield on earning assets. The 0.17% decrease in net interest margin form 2005 to 2006 reflects the increase in rates on interest-bearing liabilities out pacing the increase in rates on interest-earning assets.
PROVISIONFOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses are based on management’s ongoing assessment of the Corporation’s credit exposure and consideration of other relevant factors. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve, which is available to absorb future loan charge-offs. The provision for loan losses is the amount charged to earnings on an annual basis.
The Corporation recorded a $60,000 provision for loan losses in 2007, compared to $0 in 2006, and $30,000 in 2005. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under the “Allowance for Loan Losses” section. Based on that analysis, the level of the allowance for loan losses is appropriate at this time.
OTHER INCOME
2007 VERSUS 2006
Other income of $2,107,000 during 2007 increased by $187,000 compared to 2006, primarily as a result of the following:
An increase in income from fiduciary activities of $38,000.
An increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $64,000 or 9.3%, which is consistent with the increase in deposit accounts.
An increase in ATM card fees of $53,000, reflecting the increasing use of our ATM locations.
2006 VERSUS 2005
Other income of $1,920,000 during 2006 represented a decrease of $42,000 compared to 2005, primarily as a result of the following:
A decrease in gains on sales of securities of $275,000.
This decrease was partially offset by:
An increase in income from fiduciary activities of $13,000.
OTHER INCOME (CONTINUED)
An increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $94,000 or 15.8%, which is consistent with the growth in deposit accounts and the maturity of our overdraft protection product.
An increase in ATM and debit card fees of $68,000 or 17.9%, which is a result of new customers and increased usage by existing customers.
An increase in other income of $56,000 due to an increase in commissions received on sales on certain types of insurance products as well as an increase in merchant services income.
OTHER EXPENSES
2007 VERSUS 2006
Other expenses increased $328,000 or 5.0% to $6,838,000 during 2007 compared to $6,510,000 during 2006, primarily as a result of the following:
An increase in employee compensation and benefits of $139,000 as the result of increases in the number of staff and merit increases during the year.
An increase in professional fees of $193,000 or 118.4% as the result of increased legal and accounting fees, including costs associated with outsourced Sarbanes Oxley compliance consulting services.
An increase in director and advisory board compensation of $52,000 as a result of increased directors’ fees and costs of deferred compensation plans.
A decrease in ATM expense of $42,000 as a result of the buydown of the current contract by our ATM and debit card processor, which resulted in a refund of amounts previously expensed of $92,000.
2006 VERSUS 2005
Other expenses increased $224,000 or 3.6% to $6,510,000 during 2006 as compared to $6,286,000 during 2005, primarily as a result of the following:
An increase in net occupancy and equipment expense of $137,000 or 14.1%, primarily due to an increase in maintenance fees and equipment repairs.
An increase in supplies and postage of $32,000 or 13.9%.
An increase in ATM expense of $39,000 or 14.4%, primarily as a result of an increase in ATM usage and an increase in interchange fees.
An increase in other operating expenses of $107,000 or 10.7% due in a large part to the increase in internet banking fees.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees, primarily legal and executive search expenses, of $58,000 or 26.2% and a decrease in employee compensation and benefits of $35,000 or 1.1%. The net decrease in employee compensation and benefits is primarily as a result of resignations and restructuring of the loan and trust divisions.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was $500,000 for 2007 compared to $461,000 for 2006 and $553,000 for 2005. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes was 19.9% for 2007, 19.0% for 2006 and 21.1% for 2005. The Corporation’s lower effective tax rate in 2007 and 2006 was a result of an increase in the percentage of pre-tax income being derived from tax-exempt investments and loans and tax-exempt income earned on life insurance. Refer to footnote 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further analysis of income taxes.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
SECURITIES
The securities portfolio is a component of interest-earning assets and is second in size only to the Corporation’s loan portfolio. Investment securities not only provide interest income, they provide a source of liquidity, diversify the earning asset portfolio and provide collateral for public funds and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
The Corporation’s securities are classified as either held to maturity or available for sale. Securities in the held to maturity category are accounted for at amortized cost. Available for sale securities are accounted for at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a separate component of comprehensive income.
The Corporation generally intends to hold its investment portfolio until maturity; however, about 74.5% or $63,340,000, of total securities at December 31, 2007 was classified as available for sale. Net unrealized gains at year-end 2007 were $487,000 compared to a net unrealized loss of $272,000 at year-end 2006. The net unrealized gain at December 31, 2007 is reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income of $295,000 in shareholders’ equity, net of deferred income taxes. The accumulated other comprehensive loss net of taxes at December 31, 2006 totaled $205,000. This increase reflects changes in interest rates during 2007. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of December 31, 2007, the Corporation has not recognized other-than-temporary impairment on any of its investment securities. For additional information on unrealized losses by investment type, see footnote 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
SECURITIES (CONTINUED)
Held to maturity securities totaled $21,229,000 at December 31, 2007 compared to $21,073,000 a year ago. The increase was a result of new purchases exceeding maturities of U.S. Government agency securities and state and municipal securities. A significant portion of this portfolio is comprised of state and municipal securities that provide tax-exempt interest income to the Corporation.

The Corporation has a significant concentration of residential and commercial mortgage loans collateralized by properties located in Juniata and Perry Counties of Pennsylvania and the surrounding area.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing assets include loans on a non-accrual basis, loans past due more than ninety days and still accruing, troubled debt restructurings and foreclosed real estate. These groups of assets represent the asset categories posing the greatest risk of loss to the Corporation. Non-accruing loans are loans no longer accruing interest due to apparent financial difficulties of the borrower. The Corporation generally discontinues accrual of interest when principal or interest becomes doubtful based on prevailing economic conditions and collection efforts. Loans are returned to accrual status only when all factors indicating doubtful collectibility cease to exist. Troubled debt restructurings result when an economic concession has been made to a borrower taking the form of a reduction or deferral of interest and/or principal. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Corporation had no troubled debt restructurings. Potential problem loans include impaired loans that are not on non-accrual basis or past due more than 90 days and still accruing, which, as of December 31, 2007, totaled $501,000 and included 1 residential mortgage and 1 commercial mortgage. Foreclosed real estate is acquired through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure and is recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. Gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate are included in other income, while losses and writedowns resulting from periodic revaluations are included in other expenses.

ALLOWANCEFOR LOAN LOSSES
The Bank has established a systematic methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The methodology is set forth in a formal policy and takes into consideration the need for an overall general valuation as well as specific allowances that are tied to individual loans.
In originating loans, the Bank recognizes that losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the collateral for the loan.
The Bank’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes a review of all loans on at least a quarterly basis. For residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, the primary factors used to determine the adequacy of the allowance are delinquency, collateral value, general economic conditions and, where applicable, individual borrower information that is known to the Bank. For commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, the review includes financial performance of the borrower, payment history, collateral value, general economic conditions and more specific economic conditions affecting specific industries or business activities of the borrowers within the portfolio agreements.
Management maintains an allowance for loan losses that it considers adequate based on the evaluation process that it performs on a quarterly basis. As part of this process, management considers it appropriate to maintain a portion of the allowance that is based on credit quality trends, loan volume, current economic trends and other uncertainties. This portion of the allowance for loan losses is reflected as the unallocated portion in the table below that indicates the distribution of the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.
The following tables set forth information on the analysis of the allowance for loan losses and the allocation of the allowance for loan losses as of the dates indicated:

Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2007 and 2006 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary, and the results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Furthermore, while the Bank believes it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, there can be no assurance that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request us to increase our allowance for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that material increases will not be necessary should the quality of loans deteriorate as a result of factors discussed above. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.
DEPOSITS
Management believes that the development and retention of deposits is the basis of sound growth and profitability. These deposits provide the primary source of funding for loans and investments. The Corporation’s continued expansion and business development within its market area fueled the growth in deposits. As of December 31, 2007, deposits totaled $245,046,000 up $22,672,000 or 10.2%, from year-end 2006. Time deposits contributed most of the growth with a $19,689,000 or 12.7% increase. Demand deposits increased $4,312,000 and savings deposits decreased $1,329,000. The growth in deposits resulted from continuing bank-wide promotions.
BORROWINGS
Short-term borrowings at December 31 were as follows:

Approximate weighted average interest rate for the year | | | 4.47 | % | | | 4.52 | % | | | 2.89 | % |
Long-term borrowings decreased $4,000,000 in 2007 due to the decrease in FHLB advances. Additional information on borrowings is located in footnote 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Aggregate Contractual Obligations
The following table represents the Corporation’s on and off-balance sheet aggregate contractual obligations to make future payments as of December 31, 2007 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Less than 1 Year | | 1 - 3 Years | | 4 - 5 Years | | Over 5 Years | | Total |

Total | | $ | 118,853 | | $ | 55,470 | | $ | 8,503 | | $ | 15,155 | | $ | 197,981 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
In addition, the Corporation in the conduct of business operations routinely enters into contracts for services. These contracts may require payment for services to be provided in the future and may also contain penalty clauses for the early termination of the contracts. Management is not aware of any other commitments or contingent liabilities which may have a material adverse impact on the liquidity or capital resources of the Corporation.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Corporation is 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 and, to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2007, the Corporation had unfunded outstanding commitments to extend credit of $31.1 million and outstanding standby letters of credit of $309,000. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Refer to footnote 12 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the nature, business purpose and importance of the Corporation’s off-balance sheet arrangements.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The operations of the Corporation do not subject it to foreign currency risk or commodity price risk. The Corporation does not utilize interest rate swaps, caps or hedging transactions. In addition, the Corporation has no market risk sensitive instruments entered into for trading purposes. However, the Corporation is subject to interest rate risk and employs several different methods to manage and monitor the risk.
Rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities are those whose rates or yields are subject to change within a defined time period, due to maturity or a floating market rate. The risk to the Corporation results from interest rate fluctuations to the extent that there is a difference between the amount of the Corporation’s rate sensitive assets and the amount of interest sensitive liabilities within specified periods. The Corporation monitors its rate sensitivity in order to reduce its vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations while maintaining adequate capital and acceptable levels of liquidity. The Corporation’s asset and liability policy, along with monthly financial reports and monthly financial simulations, supplies management with guidelines to evaluate and manage the Corporation’s rate sensitivity.
Financial simulation presents a picture of the effect interest rate changes have on net interest income. Assumptions and estimates are used in the preparation of the simulation and actual values may differ from those presented. In addition, these simulations do not portray other actions management might take to changes in market rates. The following is an analysis of possible changes in the Corporation’s net interest income, for a +/- 200 basis point rate shock over a one year period compared to a flat or unchanged rate scenario.
| | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | | 2006 | |
| | Percent Change in Net Interest Income | | | Percent Change in Net Interest Income | |
Change in interest rates | | | | | | |
+200 basis points | | (5.21 | )% | | (2.16 | )% |
Flat rate | | — | % | | — | % |
-200 basis points | | 4.15 | % | | 1.07 | % |
The percent change is expressed as the change in net interest income as a percent of the base year’s net interest income. The net interest income at risk position is within the guidelines set by the Corporation’s asset/liability policy. An increase of 200 basis points could result in a 5.21% (or $452,000) decrease in net interest income, whereas, a 200 basis point decrease could result in a 4.15% (or $360,000) increase in net interest income.
LIQUIDITYAND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity represents the Corporation’s ability to efficiently manage cash flows to support customers’ loan demand, withdrawals by depositors, the payment of operating expenses, as well as the ability to take advantage of business and investment opportunities as they arise. Liquidity is essential to compensate for fluctuations in the balance sheet and provide funds for growth.
The primary sources of liquidity are the Corporation’s deposit base and a strong capital position. The stability of the deposits is reflected in a comparison of year-end balances to yearly averages. Deposits at year-end 2007 totaled $245,046,000 and averaged $234,404,000 for the year; this is consistent with the increase in deposits for the year. Likewise, year-end 2006 deposits totaled $222,374,000 and averaged $216,855,000 for the year.
LIQUIDITYAND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
Other sources of liquidity are available from investment securities maturing in one year or less, which totaled $4,136,000 at year-end 2007 and from investments in mortgage-backed securities, which supply income and principal cash flow streams on an ongoing basis. Mortgage-backed securities represented 63.4% of the total amortized cost of securities as of December 31, 2007. These sources provide the Corporation with adequate resources to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Longer term liquidity needs may include selling securities available for sale, which had a fair value of $63,340,000 at December 31, 2007, selling loans or raising additional capital. In addition, the Corporation has established federal funds lines of credit at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank, which are reliable sources for short and long-term funds. The maximum borrowing capacity through the Federal Home Loan Bank approximated $139,122,000 at December 31, 2007, of which $121,122,000 or 87.1% was available.
The Corporation’s loan to deposit ratio, for 2007, was maintained at an average of 78.4% and ended the year at 78.0% compared to an average of 80.0% in 2006 and 72.8% at the end of 2005.
The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist mainly of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit, at December 31, 2007 totaled $31.1 million and standby letters of credit totaled $309,000.
The Corporation is not aware of any known trends or any known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties, which would result in the liquidity increasing or decreasing in a material way.
The greater the capital resources, the more likely the Corporation will be able to meet its cash obligations and unforeseen expenses. The Corporation’s strong capital position is related to the Corporation’s earnings stability. The dividend payout ratio was 32.6% in 2007, compared to 30.06% in 2006. Shareholders’ equity at the end of 2007 totaled $21,533,000, an increase of $1,859,000 or 9.4% over year-end 2006. The increase was a result of net income, an increase in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale, net of taxes of $500,000, partially offset by the dividend payout of $658,000. Likewise, shareholders’ equity at the end of 2006 totaled $19,674,000, an increase of $1,342,000 or 7.3% over year-end 2005. The increase was a result of net income, a decrease in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net of taxes of $200,000, partially offset by the dividend payout of $602,000 and a charge to retained earnings for the cumulative effect adjustment of prior period prepaid and accrued expense balances, net of taxes of $221,000.
The table in footnote 11 to the financial statements sets forth the Corporation’s and Bank’s capital ratios as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. These ratios show that the Bank exceeds the federal regulatory minimum requirements for a “well capitalized bank.” The minimum regulatory requirements of a “well capitalized bank” for the leverage ratio, Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios are 5.00%, 6.00% and 10.00%, respectively.
The Corporation is not under any agreement with the regulatory authorities nor is it aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities that, if implemented, would have a material effect on the Corporation’s capital, liquidity or its operations.
INFLATION
The impact of inflation upon banks differs from the impact upon non-banks. The majority of assets and liabilities of a bank are monetary in nature and, therefore, change with movements in interest rates. The exact impact of inflation on the Corporation is difficult to measure. Inflation may cause operating expenses to increase at a rate not matched by increased earnings. Inflation may also affect the borrowing needs of consumers, thereby affecting growth of the Corporation’s assets. Inflation may also affect the general level of interest rates, which could have an effect on the Corporation’s profitability. However, as discussed previously, the Corporation strives to manage its interest sensitive assets and liabilities offsetting the effects of inflation.

Stock and Dividend Information
The Corporation has only one class of common stock authorized, issued and outstanding. Although shares of the Corporation’s common stock are traded from time to time in private transactions, there is no established public trading market for the stock. The Corporation’s common stock is not listed on any stock exchange or automated quotation system and there are no present plans to so list the stock. There can be no assurance that, at any given time, any persons will be interested in acquiring shares of the Corporation’s common stock. Price quotations for the Corporation’s common stock do not appear in any generally recognized investment media.
The Corporation pays dividends on the outstanding shares of our common stock as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. It has been the practice of the Board of Directors to declare cash dividends on a quarterly basis. Future dividends will depend upon our earnings, financial position, cash requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The following table sets forth the cash dividends declared per share of the Corporation’s common stock and the highest and lowest per share prices at which the Corporation’s common stock has actually traded in private transactions during the periods indicated. To the best of management’s knowledge, such prices do not include any retail mark-up, mark-down or commission. Shares may have been sold in transactions, the price and terms of which are not known to the Corporation. Therefore, the per share prices at which the Corporation’s stock has previously traded may not necessarily be indicative of the true market value of the shares.
