Park National Corporation (“Park” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (this “Form 10-K/A”) to amend Part II, Item 8 and Part II, Item 9A of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”) filed on February 28, 2011, to disclose management’s determination that, as of December 31, 2010, there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There are no changes to the consolidated financial statements of Park that are included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K/A, except for the addition of Note 27.
Park reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated and filed June 30, 2011 (the “June 30, 2011 Form 8-K”) and again in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated and filed July 25, 2011 (the “July 25, 2011 Form 8-K”) that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) have communicated their preliminary examination results to Vision management. The most significant finding of the OFR and FDIC pertains to Vision’s accounting treatment related to guarantor support underlying certain impaired loans and the calculation of the allowance for loan losses to be made with respect to impaired loans.
As a result of the preliminary examination findings, management initiated a thorough review of the guarantor support underlying impaired loans at Vision as of December 31, 2010. As a result of this review, management has determined that no changes to Park’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 were necessary. However, as a result of the review of the impaired loan measurements as of year end, management has determined that the significant deficiency determined to exist at December 31, 2010 was more appropriately characterized as a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Park has set forth in its entirety the text of Part II, Item 8 and Part II, Item 9A, even though only the Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, which had been included in Park’s 2010 Annual Report and incorporated therefrom by reference in Part II, Item 8 and Part II, Item 9A of the 2010 Form 10-K, have changed. There are no changes to the consolidated financial statements of Park that were included in Park’s 2010 Annual Report and incorporated therefrom in Part II, Item 8 of the 2010 Form 10-K, and which are included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K/A, except for the addition of Note 27. Updated certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been included as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Form 10-K/A, updated certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been included as Exhibit 32 to this Form 10-K/A and an updated Consent of Crowe Horwath LLP has been included as Exhibit 23 to this Form 10-K/A. In addition, Part IV, Item 15 of the 2010 Form 10-K has been updated to reflect the updated exhibits. Other than the changes to Part II, Item 8, Part II, Item 9A, Part IV, Item 15, the exhibits and footnote 27 identified in this paragraph, the 2010 Form 10-K is unchanged. This Amendment No. 1 is limited in scope to the portions of the 2010 Form 10-K set forth above and does not amend, update, or change any other items or disclosures contained in the 2010 Form 10-K.
This Amendment No. 1 continues to speak as of the date of the original filing of the 2010 Form 10-K and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred at any subsequent date, with the exception of Note 27 within Part II, Item 8. The filing of this Amendment No. 1 shall not be deemed an admission that the 2010 Form 10-K, when filed, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement therein not misleading.
Throughout the first six months of 2011, management has made significant process improvements in an effort to address the above-mentioned material weakness. These process improvements include:
As of the filing date for this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, management believes that the enhancements to our internal control processes represent significant progress in addressing the material weakness that existed at December 31, 2010. Management continues to evaluate enhancements which may be made to remediate the material weakness. Management has also communicated these matters to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP (“Crowe Horwath”), who is also performing additional procedures related to the issues described above.
PART II.
The Consolidated Balance Sheets of Park and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the related Consolidated Statements of Income, of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, the related Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Crowe Horwath LLP) as well as Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting are included herein and set forth on page 5 through F-29 herein.
Quarterly Financial Data provided in “Table 26-Quarterly Financial Data” and the accompanying disclosure included in the section of Park’s 2010 Annual Report captioned “FINANCIAL REVIEW,” on page 46, is incorporated herein by reference.
The management of Park National Corporation (“Park” or the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Park’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, and this assessment identified a deficiency in internal controls because management was utilizing the work of a third-party contractor, which was not a licensed appraiser, when calculating the fair value of collateral for certain impaired loans and the fair value of certain other real estate at Vision Bank, and management did not have sufficient documentation to support the estimates of this third-party contractor. In addition, management was relying on internal estimates of collateral value when calculating specific reserves for impaired loans at Vision Bank, when at times, such internal estimates were more than a year old. Economic conditions had changed in certain instances and the internal estimates of value were not updated. Initially, management concluded that this deficiency constituted a significant deficiency. However, upon further review, management has determined that this deficiency constituted a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency in internal controls or a combination of internal control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on this material weakness, management believes that Park did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, and has issued their Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, which is included below.
After the control deficiency was identified in January 2011, the Company started to make several process improvements in an effort to address the above-mentioned material weakness.. These process improvements include the discontinuation of the use of value-related information from a third-party contractor, who is not a licensed appraiser, when valuing both collateral for impaired loans and other real estate owned (and using external appraisals instead), discontinuation of the use of retail lot values on lot development projects and using in lieu thereof the bulk sale value provided by external licensed appraisers, and the enhancement of the Company’s commercial loan policy. We believe that the enhancements to our internal control processes represent significant progress in addressing the material weakness that existed at December 31, 2010. Management continues to evaluate enhancements which may be made to remediate the material weakness.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park National Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Park”, the “Company” or the “Corporation”). Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified the allowance for loan losses, accounting for Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) and accounting for goodwill as significant estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date, determining no events require additional disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.
Investment Securities
Investment securities are classified upon acquisition into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading (see Note 4 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are those securities that would be available to be sold in the future in response to the Corporation’s liquidity needs, changes in market interest rates, and asset-liability management strategies, among other reasons. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from earnings but included in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The Corporation did not hold any trading securities during any period presented.
Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are evaluated quarterly for potential other-than-temporary impairment. Management considers the facts related to each security including the nature of the security, the amount and duration of the loss, the credit quality of the issuer, the expectations for that security’s performance and Park’s intent and ability to hold the security until recovery. Declines in equity securities that are considered to be other-than-temporary are recorded as a charge to earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Declines in debt securities that are considered to be other-than-temporary are separated into (1) the amount of the total impairment related to credit loss and (2) the amount of the total impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated.
Gains and losses realized on the sale of investment securities are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification basis.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Stock
Park’s two separately chartered banks are members of the FHLB and FRB. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on their level of borrowings and other factors and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB and FRB stock are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities, and are carried at their redemption value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
Park has purchased life insurance policies on directors and certain key officers. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value (or the amount that can be realized).
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale were $8.3 million and $9.6 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in net gains on sales of loans.
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and any unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan origination fees and costs over the loan term. Commercial loans include: (1) commercial, financial and agricultural loans; (2) commercial real estate loans; (3) those commercial loans in the real estate construction loan segment; and (4) those commercial loans in the residential real estate loan segment. Consumer loans include: (1) mortgage and installment loans included in the real estate construction segment; (2) mortgage, home equity lines of credit (HELOC), and installment loans included in the residential real estate segment; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment. Generally, commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and consumer and residential mortgage loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 120 days past due. Interest on these loans is considered a loss, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Commercial loans placed on nonaccrual status are considered impaired (See Note 5 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). For loans which are on nonaccrual status, it is Park’s policy to reverse interest previously accrued on the loans against interest income. Interest on such loans is thereafter recorded on a cash basis and is included in earnings only when actually received in cash. Park’s charge-off policy for commercial loans requires management to establish a specific reserve or record a charge-off as soon as it is apparent that the borrower is troubled and there is, or likely will be, a collateral shortfall related to the estimated value of the collateral securing the loan. The Company’s charge-off policy for consumer loans is dependent on the class of the loan. Mortgage loans and HELOC are typically charged down to the value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs at 180 days past due. The charge-off policy for other consumer loans, primarily installment loans, requires a monthly review of delinquent loans and a complete charge-off for any account that reaches 120 days past due.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
A description of each segment of the loan portfolio, along with the risk characteristics of each segment, is included below:
Commercial, financial and agricultural: Commercial, financial and agricultural loans are made for a wide variety of general corporate purposes, including financing for industrial and commercial properties, financing for equipment, inventories and accounts receivable, acquisition financing and commercial leasing. The term of each commercial loan varies by its purpose. Repayment terms are structured such that commercial loans will be repaid within the economic useful life of the underlying asset. The commercial loan portfolio includes loans to a wide variety of corporations and businesses across many industrial classifications in (i) the 28 Ohio counties and one Kentucky county where Park National Bank operates and (ii) the five Florida counties and one Alabama county where Vision Bank operates. The primary industries represented by these customers include commercial real estate leasing, manufacturing, retail trade, health care and other services.
Commercial real estate: Commercial real estate loans (“CRE loans”) include mortgage loans to developers and owners of commercial real estate. The lending policy for CRE loans is designed to address the unique risk attributes of CRE lending. The collateral for these CRE loans is the underlying commercial real estate. Each subsidiary bank generally requires that the CRE loan amount be no more than 85% of the purchase price or the appraised value of the commercial real estate securing the CRE loan, whichever is less. CRE loans made for each subsidiary bank’s portfolio generally have a variable interest rate. A CRE loan may be made with a fixed interest rate for a term generally not exceeding five years.
Construction real estate: The Company defines construction loans as both commercial construction loans and residential construction loans where the loan proceeds are used exclusively for the improvement of real estate as to which the Company holds a mortgage. Construction loans may be in the form of a permanent loan or a short-term construction loan, depending on the needs of the individual borrower. Generally, the permanent construction loans have a variable interest rate although a permanent construction loan may be made with a fixed interest rate for a term generally not exceeding five years. Short-term construction loans are made with variable interest rates. Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the subsidiary bank making the loan may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project. If the estimate of value proves inaccurate, the subsidiary bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value insufficient to assure full repayment, should the borrower default. In the event a default on a construction loan occurs and foreclosure follows, the subsidiary bank must take control of the project and attempt either to arrange for completion of construction or to dispose of the unfinished project. Additional risk exists with respect to loans made to developers who do not have a buyer for the property, as the developer may lack funds to pay the loan if the property is not sold upon completion. Park’s subsidiary banks attempt to reduce such risks on loans to developers by requiring personal guarantees and reviewing current personal financial statements and tax returns as well as other projects undertaken by the developer.
Residential real estate: The Company defines residential real estate loans as first mortgages on individuals’ primary residence or second mortgages of individuals’ primary residence in the form of home equity lines of credit or installment loans. Credit approval for residential real estate loans requires demonstration of sufficient income to repay the principal and interest and the real estate taxes and insurance, stability of employment, an established credit record and an appropriately appraised value of the real estate securing the loan. Each subsidiary bank generally requires that the residential real estate loan amount be no more than 80% of the purchase price or the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, whichever is less, unless private mortgage insurance is obtained by the borrower. Loans made for each subsidiary bank’s portfolio in this lending category are generally adjustable rate, fully amortized mortgages. The rates used are generally fully-indexed rates. Park generally does not price residential loans using low introductory “teaser” rates. Home equity lines of credit are generally made as second mortgages by Park’s subsidiary banks. The maximum amount of a home equity line of credit is generally limited to 85% of the appraised value of the property less the balance of the first mortgage.
Consumer: The Company originates direct and indirect consumer loans, primarily automobile loans and home equity based credit cards to customers and prospective customers in its primary market areas. Credit approval for consumer loans requires income sufficient to repay principal and interest due, stability of employment, an established credit record and sufficient collateral for secured loans. Consumer loans typically have shorter terms and lower balances with higher yields as compared to real estate mortgage loans, but generally carry higher risks of default. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Allowance for Loan LossesThe allowance for loan losses is that amount believed adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors. The determination of the allowance requires significant estimates, including the timing and amounts of expected cash flows on impaired loans, consideration of current economic conditions, and historical loss experience pertaining to pools of homogeneous loans, all of which may be susceptible to change. The allowance is increased through a provision for loan losses that is charged to earnings based on management’s quarterly evaluation of the factors previously mentioned and is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The allowance for loan losses includes both (1) an estimate of loss based on historical loss experience within both commercial and consumer loan categories with similar characteristics (“statistical allocation”) and (2) an estimate of loss based on an impairment analysis of each commercial loan that is considered to be impaired (“specific allocation”).
In calculating the allowance for loan losses, management believes it is appropriate to utilize historical loss rates that are comparable to the current period being analyzed. For the historical loss factor at December 31, 2010, the Company utilized an annual loss rate (“historical loss experience”), calculated based on an average of the net charge-offs and the annual change in specific reserves for impaired commercial loans, experienced during 2008, 2009 and 2010 within the commercial and consumer loan categories. Management believes the 36-month historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment, as it captures loss rates that are comparable to the current period being analyzed. The loss factor applied to Park’s consumer portfolio is based on the historical loss experience over the past 36 months, plus an additional judgmental reserve, increasing the total allowance for loan loss coverage in the consumer portfolio to approximately 1.5 years of historical loss. The loss factor applied to Park’s commercial portfolio is based on the historical loss experience over the past 36 months, plus an additional judgmental reserve, increasing the total allowance for loan loss coverage in the commercial portfolio to approximately 1.5 years of historical loss. Park’s commercial loans are individually risk graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default increases, and accordingly management allocates a higher percentage reserve to those accruing commercial loans graded special mention and substandard.
.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
The judgmental increases discussed above incorporates management’s evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose additional risks and assigns a component of the allowance for loan losses in consideration of these factors. Such environmental factors include: national and local economic trends and conditions; experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff; effects of any changes in lending policies and procedures; levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies, impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require a specific allocation to be established as a component of the allowance for loan losses for certain loans when it is probable that all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loans will not be collected, and the recorded investment in the loans exceeds fair value. Fair value is measured using either the present value of expected future cash flows based upon the initial effective interest rate on the loan, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.
Income earned by the Corporation and its subsidiaries is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting, except for nonaccrual loans as previously discussed, and late charges on loans which are recognized as income when they are collected.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease period or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Upon the sale or other disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Premises and equipment is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
The range of depreciable lives over which premises and equipment are being depreciated are:
| |
Buildings | 5 to 50 Years |
Equipment, furniture and fixtures | 3 to 20 Years |
Leasehold improvements | 1 to 10 Years |
Buildings that are currently placed in service are depreciated over 30 years. Equipment, furniture and fixtures that are currently placed in service are depreciated over 3 to 12 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lives of the related leases which range from 1 to 10 years.
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
OREO is recorded at fair value less anticipated selling costs (net realizable value) and consists of property acquired through foreclosure and real estate held for sale. If the net realizable value is below the carrying value of the loan at the date of transfer, the difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in value, OREO devaluations, are typically reported as adjustments to the carrying amount of OREO and are expensed within “other income”. In certain circumstances where management believes the devaluation may not be permanent in nature, Park utilizes a valuation allowance to record OREO devaluations, which is also expensed through “other income”. Costs relating to development and improvement of such properties are capitalized (not in excess of fair value less estimated costs to sell) and costs relating to holding the properties are charged to expense.
Mortgage Loan Servicing Rights
When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, servicing rights are recorded at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value, with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sale of loans. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing income of the underlying loan. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaled $10.5 million at December 31, 2010 and $10.8 million at December 31, 2009. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows from the servicing assets, using market discount rates and expected future prepayment rates. In order to calculate fair value, the sold loan portfolio is stratified into homogenous pools of like categories. (See Note 20 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Mortgage servicing rights are assessed for impairment periodically, based on fair value, with any impairment recognized through a valuation allowance. Fees received for servicing mortgage loans owned by investors are based on a percentage of the outstanding monthly principal balance of such loans and are included in income as loan payments are received. The cost of servicing loans is charged to expense as incurred.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that have no physical property but represent some future economic benefit to their owner and are capable of being sold or exchanged on their own or in combination with a related asset or liability.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized to expense, but are subject to annual impairment tests, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Intangible assets with definitive useful lives (such as core deposit intangibles) are amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives.
Management considers several factors when performing the annual impairment tests on goodwill. The factors considered include the operating results for the particular Park segment for the past year and the operating results budgeted for the current year (including multi-year projections), the purchase prices being paid for financial institutions in the markets served by the Park segment, the deposit and loan totals of the Park segment and the economic conditions in the markets served by the Park segment.
The following table reflects the activity in goodwill and other intangible assets for the years 2010, 2009 and 2008. (See Note 2 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details on the acquisition of Vision Bancshares, Inc. (“Vision”), and the recognition of impairment charges in 2008 to Vision Bank’s goodwill.)

GAAP requires a company to perform an impairment test on goodwill annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, by comparing the fair value of such goodwill to its recorded or carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge must be recorded in an amount equal to the excess.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |

Park typically evaluates goodwill for impairment on April 1 of each year, with financial data as of March 31. Based on the analysis performed as of April 1, 2010, the Company determined that goodwill for Park’s Ohio-based bank (The Park National Bank) was not impaired.
The balance of goodwill was $127.3 million at December 31, 2007 and was located at four subsidiary banks of Park. The subsidiary banks were Vision Bank ($55.0 million), The Park National Bank ($39.0 million), Century National Bank ($25.8 million) and The Security National Bank and Trust Co. ($7.5 million). During 2008, Park completed the consolidation of the eight banking charters of Park’s Ohio-based subsidiary banks into one national bank charter. With this consolidation, the goodwill at The Park National Bank was $72.3 million.
Based primarily on the increased level of net loan charge-offs at Vision Bank, management determined that it was appropriate to test for goodwill impairment during the third quarter of 2008. Park continued to experience credit deterioration in Vision Bank’s market place during the third quarter of 2008. The fair value of Vision was estimated by using the average of three measurement methods. These included: (1) application of various metrics from bank sale transactions for institutions comparable to Vision Bank; (2) application of a market-derived multiple of tangible book value; and (3) estimations of the present value of future cash flows. Park’s management reviewed the valuation of Vision Bank with Park’s Board of Directors and concluded that Vision Bank should recognize an impairment charge and write down the remaining goodwill ($55.0 million), resulting in a goodwill balance of zero with respect to the Vision Bank reporting unit.
Goodwill and other intangible assets (as shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) totaled $78.4 million at December 31, 2010, $81.8 million at December 31, 2009 and $85.5 million at December 31, 2008.
The core deposit intangibles are being amortized to expense principally on the straight-line method, over periods ranging from six to ten years. The amortization period for the core deposit intangibles related to the Vision acquisition is six years. Core deposit intangible amortization expense was $3.4 million in 2010, $3.7 million in 2009 and $4.0 million in 2008.
The accumulated amortization of core deposit intangibles was $16.1 million as of December 31, 2010 and $12.7 million at December 31, 2009. The expected core deposit intangible amortization expense for each of the next five years is as follows:

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash items, amounts due from banks and money market instruments. Generally money market instruments are purchased and sold for one-day periods.
Net cash provided by operating activities reflects cash payments as follows:

Transfers to OREO | | $ | 35,507 | | | $ | 35,902 | | | $ | 37,823 | |
Loss Contingencies and Guarantees
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Income Taxes
The Corporation accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. To the extent that Park does not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is recorded. All positive and negative evidence is reviewed when determining how much of a valuation allowance is recognized on a quarterly basis. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination being presumed to occur. The benefit recognized for a tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” criteria is measured based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized, taking into consideration the amounts and probabilities of the outcome upon settlement. For tax positions not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Park recognizes any interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Preferred Stock
On December 23, 2008, Park issued $100 million of Senior Preferred Shares to the U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Capital Purchase Program (CPP), consisting of 100,000 shares, each with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. In addition, on December 23, 2008, Park issued a warrant to the Treasury to purchase 227,376 common shares. These preferred shares and related warrant are considered permanent equity for accounting purposes. GAAP requires management to allocate the proceeds from the issuance of the preferred stock between the preferred stock and related warrant. The terms of the preferred shares require management to pay a cumulative dividend at the rate of 5 percent per annum until February 14, 2014 and 9 percent thereafter. Management determined that the 5 percent dividend rate is below market value; therefore, the fair value of the preferred shares would be less than the $100 million in proceeds. Management determined that a reasonable market discount rate is 12 percent for the fair value of preferred shares. Management used the Black-Scholes model for calculating the fair value of the warrant (and related common shares). The allocation between the preferred shares and warrant at December 23, 2008, the date of issuance, was $95.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The discount on the preferred shares of $4.3 million is being accreted through retained earnings over a 60 month period.
Treasury Stock
The purchase of Park’s common stock is recorded at cost. At the date of retirement or subsequent reissuance, the treasury stock account is reduced by the weighted average cost of the common shares retired or reissued.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, changes in the funded status of the Company’s Defined Benefit Pension Plan, and the unrealized net holding gains and losses on the cash flow hedge, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.
Stock Based Compensation
Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and stock awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of Park’s common stock at the date of grant is used for stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. Park did not grant any stock options during 2010, 2009 or 2008. No stock options vested in 2010, 2009 or 2008. Park granted 7,020, 7,020 and 7,200 shares of common stock to its directors in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Derivative Instruments
At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are: (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value hedge”); (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”); or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”). For a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in current earnings as fair values change. For a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For both types of hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not highly effective in hedging the changes in fair value or expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported currently in earnings, as noninterest income.
The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, a hedged firm commitment is no longer firm, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended.
When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded as noninterest income. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transactions are still expected to occur, gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are amortized into earnings over the same periods which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 21 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, 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 the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Retirement Plans
Pension expense is the net of service and interest cost, return on plan assets and amortization of gains and losses not immediately recognized. Employee 401(k) plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options, warrants and convertible securities. Earnings and dividends per common share are restated for any stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets: In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from existing GAAP and removes the exception from applying FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation (FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities) to qualifying special purpose entities. The objective of this new guidance is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets (which includes loan participations); the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on Park’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R): In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (ASC 810). The objective of this new guidance is to amend certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance on January 1, 2010 had no impact on Park’s consolidated financial statements.
Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements: In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Topic 820, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements. This amendment requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers. This amendment also requires that a reporting entity present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis rather than a net basis for activity in Level 3 fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. This amendment also clarifies existing disclosures on the level of disaggregation, in that the reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities, and that a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures for ASC 820 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses: In July 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASU 2010-20), to address concerns about the sufficiency, transparency, and robustness of credit risk disclosures for finance receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. This ASU requires new and enhanced disclosures at disaggregated levels, specifically defined as “portfolio segments” and “classes”. Among other things, the expanded disclosures include roll-forward schedules of the allowance for credit losses and information regarding the credit quality of receivables as of the end of a reporting period. New and enhanced disclosures are required for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010, although the disclosures of reporting period activity are required for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance impacts annual disclosures within the Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2010 and will impact disclosures within interim financial statements in future periods, but will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
No. 2011-01 | Receivables (Topic 310) Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20: In January 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 (ASU 2011-01). ASU 2011-01 was issued as a result of concerns raised from stakeholders that the introduction of new disclosure requirements (paragraphs 310-10-50-31 through 50-34 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification) about troubled debt restructurings in one reporting period followed by a change in what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring shortly thereafter would be burdensome for preparers and may not provide financial statement users with useful information.
2. ORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS
Park National Corporation is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Newark, Ohio. Through its banking subsidiaries, The Park National Bank (PNB) and Vision Bank (VB), Park is engaged in a general commercial banking and trust business, primarily in Ohio, Baldwin County, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Park, Guardian Financial Services Company (GFSC) began operating in May 1999. GFSC is a consumer finance company located in Central Ohio. PNB operates through eleven banking divisions with the Park National Division headquartered in Newark, Ohio, the Fairfield National Division headquartered in Lancaster, Ohio, The Park National Bank of Southwest Ohio & Northern Kentucky Division headquartered in Milford, Ohio, the First-Knox National Division headquartered in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the Farmers and Savings Division headquartered in Loudonville, Ohio, the Security National Division headquartered in Springfield, Ohio, the Unity National Division headquartered in Piqua, Ohio, the Richland Bank Division headquartered in Mansfield, Ohio, the Century National Division headquartered in Zanesville, Ohio, the United Bank Division headquartered in Bucyrus, Ohio and the Second National Division headquartered in Greenville, Ohio. VB operates through two banking divisions with the Vision Bank Florida Division headquartered in Panama City, Florida and the Vision Bank Alabama Division headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama. All of the Ohio-based banking divisions provide the following principal services: the acceptance of deposits for demand, savings and time accounts; commercial, industrial, consumer and real estate lending, including installment loans, credit cards, home equity lines of credit, commercial leasing; trust services; cash management; safe deposit operations; electronic funds transfers and a variety of additional banking-related services. VB, with its two banking divisions, provides the services mentioned above, with the exception of commercial leasing. See Note 23 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information on the Corporation’s operating segments.
On March 9, 2007, Park acquired all of the stock and outstanding stock options of Vision Bancshares, Inc. for $87.8 million in cash and 792,937 shares of Park common stock valued at $83.3 million or $105.00 per share.
The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition was $109.0 million. The fair value of the acquired assets of Vision was $686.5 million and the fair value of the liabilities assumed was $624.4 million at March 9, 2007. During the fourth quarter of 2007, Park recognized a $54.0 million impairment charge to the Vision goodwill. In addition, Park recognized an additional impairment charge to the remaining Vision goodwill of $55.0 million during the third quarter of 2008. The goodwill impairment charge of $55.0 million in 2008 reduced income tax expense by approximately $1 million. The goodwill impairment charge of $54.0 million in 2007 had no impact on income tax expense.
At the time of the acquisition, Vision operated two bank subsidiaries (both named Vision Bank) which became bank subsidiaries of Park on March 9, 2007. On July 20, 2007, the bank operations of the two Vision Banks were consolidated under a single charter through the merger of the Vision Bank headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama with and into the Vision Bank headquartered in Panama City, Florida. Vision Bank operates under a Florida banking charter and has 17 branch locations in Baldwin County, Alabama and in the Florida panhandle.
3. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Corporation’s two bank subsidiaries are required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average required reserve balance was approximately $37.8 million at December 31, 2010 and $31.9 million at December 31, 2009. No other compensating balance arrangements were in existence at December 31, 2010.
4. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities are shown in the following table. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of investment securities for any other-than-temporary impairment.
During 2010, Park recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $23,000, related to an equity investment in a financial institution, which is recorded in “other expenses” within the Consolidated Statements of Income. During 2009, Park recognized impairment losses of $0.6 million related to equity investments in several financial institutions. Since these are equity securities, no amounts were recognized in other comprehensive income at the time of the impairment recognition.

Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entity asset-backed securities consisted of 15-year residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). At December 31, 2010, the amortized cost of Park’s AFS and held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities was $988.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2010, the amortized cost of Park’s AFS and held-to-maturity CMOs was $1.7 million and $670.3 million, respectively.

Other investment securities (as shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) consist of stock investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank. Park owned $61.8 million of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and $6.9 million of Federal Reserve stock at December 31, 2010. Park owned $62.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and $6.9 million of Federal Reserve Bank stock at December 31, 2009.
Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009, represents an other-than-temporary impairment. The unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily the result of interest rate changes. These conditions will not prohibit Park from receiving its contractual principal and interest payments on these debt securities. The fair value of these debt securities is expected to recover as payments are received on these securities and they approach maturity.
Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.
The following table provides detail on investment securities with unrealized losses aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities had been in a continuous loss position at December 31, 2010:

Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral. At December 31, 2010, there were $12.5 million in partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment with no related allowance recorded and an additional $41.1 million of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment that also had a specific reserve allocated.
The allowance for loan losses included specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2010 and 2009, of $43.5 million and $36.7 million, respectively, related to loans with a recorded investment of $140.5 million and $123.7 million.
The average balance of loans individually evaluated for impairment was $210.4 million, $184.7 million and $130.6 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Interest income on loans individually evaluated for impairment is recognized on a cash basis after all past due and current principal payments have been made. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Corporation recognized a net reversal to interest income of $1.3 million, consisting of $948,000 in interest recognized at PNB and $2.2 million in interest reversed at Vision, on loans that were individually evaluated for impairment as of the end of the year. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Corporation recognized a net reversal to interest income of $1.3 million, consisting of $1.8 million in interest recognized at PNB and $3.1 million in interest reversed at Vision, on loans that were individually evaluated for impairment as of the end of the year. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Corporation recognized $0.9 million in interest income, consisting of $2.8 million in interest recognized at PNB and $1.9 million in interest reversed at Vision.

Management’s policy is to initially place all renegotiated loans (troubled debt restructurings) on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2010, there were $80.7 million of troubled debt restructurings included in nonaccrual loan totals. Many of these troubled debt restructurings are performing under the renegotiated terms. At December 31, 2010, of the $80.7 million in troubled debt restructurings, $50.3 million were included within current loans presented above. Management will continue to review the renegotiated loans and may determine it appropriate to move certain of these loans back to accrual status in the future. At December 31, 2010, Park had commitments to lend $434,000 of additional funds to borrowers whose terms had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring.
Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classes of loans: (1) mortgage loans and installment loans in the construction real estate segment; (2) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate segment; and (3) consumer loans. The primary credit indicator for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades all commercial loans from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the respective loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 4 (pass-rated) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonperforming and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off. The table below presents the recorded investment by loan grade at December 31, 2010 for all commercial loans:

11. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES/NOTES
As part of the acquisition of Vision on March 9, 2007, Park became the successor to Vision under (i) the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of Vision Bancshares Trust I (the “Trust”), dated as of December 5, 2005, (ii) the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of December 5, 2005, and (iii) the Guarantee Agreement, also dated as of December 5, 2005.
On December 1, 2005, Vision formed a wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trust, Vision Bancshares Trust I (“Trust I”), which issued $15.0 million of the Trust’s floating rate preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) to institutional investors. These Trust Preferred Securities qualify as Tier I capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. All of the common securities of Trust I are owned by Park. The proceeds from the issuance of the common securities and the Trust Preferred Securities were used by Trust I to purchase $15.5 million of junior subordinated notes, which carry a floating rate based on a three-month LIBOR plus 148 basis points. The debentures represent the sole asset of Trust I. The Trust Preferred Securities accrue and pay distributions at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 148 basis points per annum. The Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the notes in December 2035, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the notes. Park has the right to redeem the notes purchased by Trust I in whole or in part, on or after December 30, 2010. As specified in the indenture, if the notes are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be the principal amount, plus any unpaid accrued interest.
In accordance with GAAP, Trust I is not consolidated with Park’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated notes are reflected as a liability.
On December 28, 2007, one of Park’s wholly-owned subsidiary banks, The Park National Bank (“PNB”), entered into a Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement with USB Capital Funding Corp. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, USB Capital Funding Corp. purchased from PNB a Subordinated Debenture dated December 28, 2007, in the principal amount of $25 million, which matures on December 29, 2017. The Subordinated Debenture is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under the applicable regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States of America (the “OCC”). The Subordinated Debenture accrues and pays interest at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The Subordinated Debenture may not be prepaid in any amount prior to December 28, 2012; however, subsequent to that date, PNB may prepay, without penalty, all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding in a minimum amount of $5 million or any larger multiple of $5 million. The three-month LIBOR rate was 0.30% at December 31, 2010. On January 2, 2008, Park entered into an interest rate swap transaction, which was designated as a cash flow hedge against the variability of cash flows related to the Subordinated Debenture of $25 million (see Note 19 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
On December 23, 2009, Park entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated December 23, 2009, with 38 purchasers (the “Purchasers”). Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers purchased from Park an aggregate principal amount of $35.25 million of 10% Subordinated Notes due December 23, 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 Capital under applicable rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”). The Notes may not be prepaid in any amount prior to December 23, 2014; however, subsequent to that date, Park may prepay, without penalty, all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding. Of the $35.25 million in Notes, $14.05 million were purchased by related parties.

No additional incentive stock options may be granted under the 2005 Plan after January 17, 2015.
The fair value of each incentive stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of Park’s common stock. The Corporation uses historical data to estimate option exercise behavior. The expected term of incentive stock options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the incentive stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
The activity in the 2005 Plan is listed in the following table for 2010:
| | | | | | |
| | | | | Weighted Average | |
| | Number | | | Exercise Price per Share | |
January 1, 2010 | | | 254,892 | | | $ | 97.78 | |

There were no options granted or exercised in 2010, 2009 or 2008. Additionally, no expense was recognized for 2010, 2009 or 2008.
13. BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) covering substantially all of the employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Pension Plan provides benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.
The Corporation’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes using a different actuarial cost method and different assumptions from those used for financial reporting purposes. Management made a $20 million contribution in January 2009, which was deductible on the 2008 tax return and as such was reflected as part of the deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2008. In addition, management made a $10 million contribution in November 2009, which was deductible on the 2009 tax return and as such is reflected as part of deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2009. Management contributed $2 million in September 2010, which will be deductible on the 2010 tax return and is reflected in deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2010. In January 2011, management contributed $14 million, of which $12.4 million will be deductible on the 2010 tax return and $1.6 million on the 2011 tax return. The entire $12.4 million deductible on the 2010 tax return is reflected as part of the deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2010. See Note 14 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Park does not expect to make any additional contributions to the Pension Plan in 2011.
Using an accrual measurement date of December 31, 2010 and 2009, plan assets and benefit obligation activity for the Pension Plan are listed below:
| | | | | | |
(In thousands) | | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Change in fair value of plan assets | | | | | | |
Fair value at beginning of measurement period | | $ | 75,815 | | | $ | 38,506 | |

Funded status at end of year (assets less benefit obligation) | | $ | 11,300 | | | $ | 15,473 | |
The asset allocation for the Pension Plan as of the measurement date, by asset category, was as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | | | | Percentage of Plan Assets | |
Asset Category | | Target Allocation | | | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Equity securities | | 50% – 100% | | | | 86 | % | | | 83 | % |
Fixed income and cash equivalents | | remaining balance | | | | 14 | % | | | 17 | % |
Total | | — | | | | 100 | % | | | 100 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The investment policy, as established by the Retirement Plan Committee, is to invest assets according to the target allocation stated above. Assets will be reallocated periodically based on the investment strategy of the Retirement Plan Committee. The investment policy is reviewed periodically.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 7.75% in 2010 and 2009. This return was based on the expected return of each of the asset categories, weighted based on the median of the target allocation for each class.
The accumulated benefit obligation for the Pension Plan was $63.5 million and $52.6 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
On November 17, 2009, the Park Pension Plan completed the purchase of 115,800 common shares of Park for $7.0 million or $60.45 per share. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of the 115,800 common shares held by the Pension Plan was $8.4 million, or $72.67 per share and $6.8 million, or $58.88 per share, respectively.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Discount rate | | | 5.50 | % | | | 6.00 | % |

Total recognized in other comprehensive (loss)/income | | | (3,734 | ) | | | 9,666 | | | | (24,958 | ) |
Total recognized in net benefit cost and other comprehensive (loss)/income | | $ | (6,222 | ) | | $ | 4,833 | | | $ | (26,992 | ) |
The estimated prior service costs for the Pension Plan that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year is $20 thousand. The estimated net actuarial (loss) expected to be recognized in the next fiscal year is ($1.4) million.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, are listed below:
| | | | | | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Discount rate | | | 6.00 | % | | | 6.00 | % |
Rate of compensation increase | | | 3.00 | % | | | 3.00 | % |
Expected long-term return on plan assets | | | 7.75 | % | | | 7.75 | % |
Management believes the 7.75% expected long-term rate of return is an appropriate assumption given historical performance of the S&P 500 Index, which management believes is a good indicator of future performance of Pension Plan assets.
The Pension Plan maintains cash in a Park National Bank savings account, with a balance of $0.7 million at December 31, 2010.
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received by Park for an asset or paid by Park to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, using the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The fair values of equity securities, consisting of mutual fund investments and common stock held by the Pension Plan and the fixed income and cash equivalents, are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs). The market value of Pension Plan assets at December 31, 2010 was $85.5 million. At December 31, 2010, $73.5 million of equity investments in the Pension Plan were categorized as Level 1 inputs; $12.0 million of plan investments in corporate and U.S. government agency bonds are categorized as Level 2 inputs, as fair value is based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments; and no investments are categorized as Level 3 inputs. The market value of Pension Plan assets was $75.8 million at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, $63.0 million of investments in the Pension Plan were categorized as Level 1 inputs; $12.8 million were categorized as Level 2; and no investments were categorized as Level 3.
The Corporation has a voluntary salary deferral plan covering substantially all of the employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Eligible employees may contribute a portion of their compensation subject to a maximum statutory limitation. The Corporation provides a matching contribution established annually by the Corporation. Contribution expense for the Corporation was $1.0 million, $1.5 million, and $2.0 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Corporation has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) covering certain key officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries with defined pension benefits in excess of limits imposed by federal tax law. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the accrued benefit cost for the SERP totaled $7.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The expense for the Corporation was $0.5 million for both 2010 and 2009 and $0.6 million for 2008.
14. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Corporation’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
| | | | | | |
December 31 (in thousands) | | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | |

Other | | | 2,176 | | | | 1,285 | |
Total deferred tax liabilities | | $ | 43,173 | | | $ | 47,372 | |
Net deferred tax assets | | $ | 29,474 | | | $ | 19,134 | |
Park performs an analysis to determine if a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required in accordance with GAAP. Vision Bank is subject to state income tax in Alabama and Florida. A state tax benefit of $1.16 million was recorded by Vision Bank, consisting of a gross benefit of $2.26 million and a valuation allowance of $1.10 million. In the schedule of deferred taxes, the valuation allowance is shown net of the federal tax benefit of $384,000. Management has determined that the likelihood of realizing the full deferred tax asset on state net operating loss carryforwards fails to meet the more likely than not level. The net operating loss carryforward period for the state of Alabama and Florida are 8 years and 20 years, respectively. A merger of Vision Bank into Park National Bank would ensure the future utilization of the state net operating loss carryforward at Vision Bank. However, management is not certain when a merger of Vision Bank into Park National Bank can take place and as a result has decided to record a valuation allowance against new state tax benefit of losses at Vision Bank until management has a better understanding of the timing and likelihood of a merger of Vision Bank into Park National Bank.
Management has determined that it is not required to establish a valuation allowance against remaining deferred tax assets in accordance with GAAP since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be fully utilized in future periods.

Park does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease during the next year.
The (income)/expense related to interest and penalties recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $(10,500), $(18,000) and $16,000, respectively. The amount accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $60,500, $71,000 and $89,000, respectively.
Park and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax. Some of Park’s subsidiaries are subject to state income tax in the following states: Alabama, Florida, California and Kentucky.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, options to purchase 78,075 and 254,892 common shares, respectively, were outstanding under Park’s 2005 Plan. A warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was outstanding at both December 31, 2010 and 2009 as a result of Park’s participation in the CPP. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 71,984 common shares were outstanding at December 31, 2010 as a result of the issuance of common stock and warrants which closed on December 10, 2010. In addition, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 common shares were outstanding at December 31, 2009 as a result of the issuance of common stock and warrants which closed on October 30, 2009. All warrants issued on October 30, 2009 had been exercised or expired as of December 31, 2010.
The common shares represented by the options and the warrants at December 31, 2010 and 2009, totaling a weighted average of 382,445 and 642,405, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the respective exercise prices exceeded the market value of the underlying common shares such that their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares is not included in the 382,445 at December 31, 2010, as the dilutive effect of this warrant pertaining to the CPP was 3,043 shares of common stock at December 31, 2010. The exercise price of this warrant is $65.97.
17. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
Bank regulators limit the amount of dividends a subsidiary bank can declare in any calendar year without obtaining prior approval. At December 31, 2010, approximately $52.8 million of the total stockholders’ equity of PNB was available for the payment of dividends to the Corporation, without approval by the applicable regulatory authorities. Vision Bank is currently not permitted to pay dividends to the Corporation.
18. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK |
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 loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments 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. Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.
The total amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk were as follows:
December 31 (in thousands) | | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Loan commitments | | $ | 716,598 | | | $ | 955,257 | |
Standby letters of credit | | | 24,462 | | | | 36,340 | |
The loan commitments are generally for variable rates of interest.
The Corporation grants retail, commercial and commercial real estate loans to customers primarily located in Ohio, Baldwin County, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida. 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 extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of the borrowers’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the economic conditions in each borrower’s geographic location and industry.
19. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by GAAP, the Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivatives and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, with any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company executed an interest rate swap to hedge a $25 million floating-rate subordinated note that was entered into by PNB during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company’s objective in using this derivative is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. Our interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying principal amount, and has been designated as a cash flow hedge.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the interest rate swap’s fair value of ($1.6) million and ($1.5) million, respectively, was included in other liabilities. No hedge ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedge was recognized during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 or 2009. At December 31, 2010, the variable rate on the $25 million subordinated note was 2.30% (3-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points) and Park was paying 6.01% (4.01% fixed rate on the interest rate swap plus 200 basis points).
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap reported in other comprehensive income was a loss of $98,000 (net of taxes of $53,000) and income of $295,000 (net of taxes of $159,000), respectively. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swap will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Park had mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments outstanding of approximately $14.5 million and $17.5 million, respectively. Park has specific forward contracts to sell each of these loans to a third party investor. These loan commitments represent derivative instruments, which are required to be carried at fair value. The derivative instruments used are not designed as hedges under GAAP. The fair value of the derivative instruments was approximately $166,000 at December 31, 2010 and $214,000 at December 31, 2009. The fair value of the derivative instruments is included within loans held for sale and the corresponding income is included within non-yield loan fee income. Gains and losses resulting from expected sales of mortgage loans are recognized when the respective loan contract is entered into between the borrower, Park, and the third party investor. The fair value of Park’s mortgage interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) is based on current secondary market pricing.
In connection with the sale of Park’s Class B Visa shares during the 2009 year, Park entered into a swap agreement with the purchaser of the shares. The swap agreement adjusts for dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B Visa shares resulting from certain Visa litigation. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of the swap liability of $60,000 and $500,000, respectively, is an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.
20. LOAN SERVICING
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1,471 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $1,518 million at December 31, 2009, and $1,369 million at December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2010, $36.0 million of the sold mortgage loans were sold with recourse compared to $53 million at December 31, 2009. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold with recourse. At December 31, 2010, management determined that no liability was deemed necessary for these loans.
Park capitalized $3.1 million in mortgage servicing rights in 2010, $5.5 million in 2009 and $1.5 million in 2008. Park’s amortization of mortgage servicing rights was $3.2 million in 2010, $4.0 million in 2009 and $1.7 million in 2008. The amortization of mortgage loan servicing rights is included within “Other service income”. Generally, mortgage servicing rights are capitalized and amortized on an individual sold loan basis. When a sold mortgage loan is paid off, the related mortgage servicing rights are fully amortized.
Activity for mortgage servicing rights and the related valuation allowance follows:

21. FAIR VALUES
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:
| ■ | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park has the ability to access as of the measurement date. |
| ■ | Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” used to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices. |
| ■ | Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting and similar inputs. |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Park must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third party appraisals or internal estimates of collateral values.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in determining fair value of the financial assets and liabilities discussed above:
Investment Securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The Fair Value Measurements tables exclude Park’s Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock. These assets are carried at their respective redemption values, as it is not practicable to calculate their fair values. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, which include municipal securities, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows.
Interest Rate Swap: The fair value of the interest rate swap represents the estimated amount Park would pay or receive to terminate the agreement, considering current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparty.
Fair Value Swap: The fair value of the swap agreement entered into with the purchaser of the Visa Class B shares represents an internally developed estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs): IRLCs are based on current secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using security prices for similar product types and, therefore, are classified in Level 2.
The table below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 inputs for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3:

The fair value for several equity securities with a fair value of $745,000 as of December 31, 2010 was transferred out of Level 1 and into Level 3 because of a lack of observable market data for these investments. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers as of the end of the reporting period. As a result, the fair value for these equity securities was transferred on December 31, 2010.

Impaired loans, which are usually measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral or present value of expected future cash flows, had a book value of $250.9 million at December 31, 2010, after partial charge-offs of $53.6 million. In addition, these loans had a specific valuation allowance of $43.5 million. Of the $250.9 million impaired loan portfolio, loans with a book value of $154.7 million were carried at their fair value of $111.3 million, as a result of the aforementioned charge-offs and specific valuation allowance. The remaining $96.2 million of impaired loans were carried at cost, as the fair value of the underlying collateral or present value of expected future cash flows on these loans exceeded the book value for each individual credit. At December 31, 2009, impaired loans had a book value of $201.1 million. Of these, $109.8 million were carried at fair value, as a result of partial charge-offs of $43.4 million and a specific valuation allowance of $36.7 million. The remaining $91.3 million of impaired loans at December 31, 2009 were carried at cost.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, were recorded at $10.5 million at December 31, 2010. Of the $10.5 million MSR carrying balance at December 31, 2010, $3.8 million was recorded at fair value and included a valuation allowance of $748,000. The remaining $6.7 million was recorded at cost, as the fair value exceeded the cost at December 31, 2010. MSRs do not trade in active, open markets with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. As such, management, with the assistance of a third party specialist, determined fair value based on the discounted value of the future cash flows estimated to be received. Significant inputs include the discount rate and assumed prepayment speeds utilized. The calculated fair value was then compared to market vales where possible to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation to current market expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are classified in Level 2. At December 31, 2009, MSRs were recorded at a fair value of $10.8 million, including a valuation allowance of $574,000.
Other real estate owned (OREO) is recorded at fair value based on property appraisals, less estimated selling costs, at the date of transfer. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the estimated fair value of OREO, less estimated selling costs amounted to $44.3 million and $41.2 million, respectively. The financial impact of OREO valuation adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $10.6 million.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for assets and liabilities not discussed above:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.
Interest bearing deposits with other banks: The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for interest bearing deposits with other banks approximate those assets’ fair values.
Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for the Corporation’s loan commitments and standby letters of credit are based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The carrying amount and fair value were not material.
Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings, and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
Long-term debt: Fair values for long-term debt are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on long-term debt to a schedule of monthly maturities.
Subordinated debentures/notes: Fair values for subordinated debentures and notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rate spreads currently being offered on similar debt structures to a schedule of monthly maturities.

22. CAPITAL RATIOS
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation and each of its two separately chartered banks had Tier 1, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios which were well above both the required minimum levels of 4.00%, 8.00% and 4.00%, respectively, and the well-capitalized levels of 6.00%, 10.00% and 5.00%, respectively.

Failure to meet the minimum requirements above could cause the Federal Reserve Board to take action. Park’s bank subsidiaries are also subject to these capital requirements by their primary regulators. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, Park and its banking subsidiaries were well-capitalized and met all capital requirements to which each was subject. There are no conditions or events since the most recent regulatory report filings, by PNB or Vision Bank (“VB”), that management believes have changed the risk categories for either of the two banks.

23. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Corporation is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Newark, Ohio. The operating segments for the Corporation are its two chartered bank subsidiaries, The Park National Bank (headquartered in Newark, Ohio) (“PNB”) and Vision Bank (headquartered in Panama City, Florida) (“VB”). Guardian Financial Services Company (“GFSC”) is a consumer finance company and is excluded from PNB for segment reporting purposes. GFSC is included within the presentation of “All Other” in the segment reporting tables that follow. During the third quarter of 2008, Park combined the eight separately chartered Ohio-based bank subsidiaries into one national bank charter, that of The Park National Bank. Prior to the charter mergers that were consummated in the third quarter of 2008, Park considered each of its nine chartered bank subsidiaries as a separate segment for financial reporting purposes. GAAP requires management to disclose information about the different types of business activities in which a company engages and also information on the different economic environments in which a company operates, so that the users of the financial statements can better understand a company’s performance, better understand the potential for future cash flows, and make more informed judgments about the company as a whole. The change to two operating segments is in line with GAAP as there are: (i) two separate and distinct geographic markets in which Park operates; (ii) discrete financial information is available for each operating segment; and (iii) the segments are aligned with internal reporting to Park’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker.

24. PARENT COMPANY STATEMENTS
The Parent Company statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the information set forth below.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
The effective tax rate for the Parent Company is substantially less than the statutory rate due principally to tax-exempt dividends from subsidiaries.
Cash represents noninterest bearing deposits with a bank subsidiary.
Net cash provided by operating activities reflects cash payments (received from subsidiaries) for income taxes of $5.97 million, $5.22 million and $8.23 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, stockholders’ equity reflected in the Parent Company balance sheet includes $143 million and $125 million, respectively, of undistributed earnings of the Corporation’s subsidiaries which are restricted from transfer as dividends to the Corporation.

25. | PARTICIPATION IN THE U.S. TREASURY CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM |
On December 23, 2008, Park issued $100 million of cumulative perpetual preferred shares, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Senior Preferred Shares”). The Senior Preferred Shares constitute Tier 1 capital and rank senior to Park’s common shares. The Senior Preferred Shares pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum through February 14, 2014 and will reset to a rate of 9% per annum thereafter. For the year ended December 31, 2010, Park recognized a charge to retained earnings of $5.8 million representing the preferred stock dividend and accretion of the discount on the preferred stock, associated with its participation in the CPP.
As part of its participation in the CPP, Park also issued a warrant to the U.S. Treasury to purchase 227,376 common shares, which is equal to 15% of the aggregate amount of the Senior Preferred Shares purchased by the U.S. Treasury, having an exercise price of $65.97. The initial exercise price for the warrant and the market price for determining the number of common shares subject to the warrant were determined by reference to the market price of the common shares on the date the Company’s application for participation in the CPP was approved by the United States Department of the Treasury (calculated on a 20-day trailing average). The warrant has a term of 10 years.
A company that participates in the CPP must adopt certain standards for compensation and corporate governance, established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”), which amended and replaced the executive compensation provisions of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) in their entirety, and the Interim Final Rule promulgated by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury under 31 C.F.R. Part 30 (collectively, the “Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Compensation Standards”). In addition, Park’s ability to declare or pay dividends on or repurchase its common shares is partially restricted as a result of its participation in the CPP.
26. | SALE OF COMMON SHARES AND ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK WARRANTS |
During 2009, Park sold a total of 904,072 common shares, out of treasury shares, and issued, in conjunction with the October 30, 2009 registered public offering, 500,000 Series A/Series B Common Share Warrants. The common shares were issued at a weighted average sales price of $61.20 with net proceeds of $53.6 million. Through December 31, 2009, there were no exercises of the Series A/Series B Common Share Warrants.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, 437,200 common shares were issued upon the exercise of the Series A and Series B Common Share Warrants at a price of $67.75 per common share. Park raised $28.7 million, net of all selling costs, from the sale of the 437,200 common shares.

Management of Vision Bank received reports of examination from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Office of Financial Regulation (“OFR”) on August 1, 2011 and August 29, 2011, respectively. The FDIC and the OFR have taken exception to approximately $18 million of expected cash flows from guarantors underlying certain impaired commercial loans, which had been incorporated into our analysis of the allowance for loan losses at Vision Bank. Additionally, Park received the report of inspection from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland on September 14, 2011, whose findings as of their June 30, 2011 inspection date were consistent regarding the use of cash flows expected from guarantors in management’s impairment analysis under ASC 310. Management intends to appeal the findings from the FDIC, OFR and Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. It remains possible that management could be required to re-file the December 31, 2010 call report for Vision Bank if we are unsuccessful upon appeal.
As a result of the preliminary examination findings communicated by the FDIC and OFR, management initiated a thorough review of those cash flows expected from guarantors and incorporated into our impairment analysis for certain impaired commercial loans at Vision Bank as of December 31, 2010. As a result of this review, management determined no changes were necessary to the Company’s statements of condition or results of operations as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
With the participation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) of Park, Park’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of Park’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, Park’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Park’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that:
The “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” on page 5 hereof is incorporated herein by reference.
The “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” on page F-1 hereof is incorporated herein by reference.
There were no changes in Park’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Park’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Park’s internal control over financial reporting.
Please see the discussion under the caption “EXPLANATORY NOTE – Remediation of the Material Weakness”, on page 3 hereof, of the changes and enhancements to Park’s internal control processes that have occurred since December 31, 2010, which process improvements management believes represent significant progress in addressing the material weakness that existed at December 31, 2010 as described in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” on page 5 hereof.
