TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I.
Item 1. Business
INTRODUCTION
Parkvale Financial Corporation (“PFC”) is a unitary savings and loan holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Its main operating subsidiary is Parkvale Savings Bank (the “Bank”), which is a Pennsylvania chartered permanent reserve fund stock savings bank headquartered in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. PFC and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as “Parkvale”. Parkvale is also involved in lending in the Columbus, Ohio area through its wholly owned subsidiary, Parkvale Mortgage Corporation (“PMC”). The primary assets of PFC consist of the stock of the Bank, equity securities and cash. See Note O of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 hereto (“2007 Annual Report”) for additional details regarding PFC.
THE BANK
General
The Bank conducts business in the greater Tri-State area through 47 full-service offices with 40 offices in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland Counties of Pennsylvania, two branches in West Virginia and five branches in Ohio. With total assets of $1.8 billion at June 30, 2007, Parkvale was the seventh largest financial institution headquartered in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and eleventh largest financial institution with a significant presence in Western Pennsylvania.
The primary business of Parkvale consists of attracting deposits from the general public in the communities that it serves and investing such deposits, together with other funds, in residential real estate loans, consumer loans, commercial loans, and investment securities. Parkvale focuses on providing a wide range of consumer and commercial services to individuals, partnerships and corporations in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area, which comprises its primary market area. In addition to the loans described above, these services include various types of deposit and checking accounts, including commercial checking accounts and automated teller machines (“ATMs”) as part of the Star network.
Parkvale derives its income primarily from interest charged on loans, interest on investments, and, to a lesser extent, service charges and fees. Parkvale’s principal expenses are interest on deposits and borrowings and operating expenses. Funds for lending activities are provided principally by deposits, loan repayments, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and other borrowings, and earnings provided by operations.
Lower housing demand in Parkvale’s primary lending areas, relative to its deposit growth, has spurred the Bank to purchase residential mortgage loans from other financial institutions in the secondary market. This purchase strategy also achieves geographic asset diversification. Parkvale purchases adjustable rate residential mortgage loans subject to its normal underwriting standards. Parkvale purchased loans aggregating $142.9 million and $139.5 million in fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. These represent 62.3% and 60.7% of total mortgage loan originations and purchases for the fiscal year 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, Parkvale operates a loan production office through its subsidiary, PMC with an office in Columbus, Ohio. During fiscal 2007, PMC originated
2
a total of $10.3 million or 4.5% of total mortgage loan originations and purchases for inclusion in Parkvale’s loan portfolio. See “Lending Activities” and “Sources of Funds.”
Total nonperforming assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate, increased from $4.6 million at June 30, 2006 to $6.2 million at June 30, 2007. The $1.6 million increase in fiscal 2007 is primarily due to single-family homes at June 30, 2007. See “Lending Activities - Nonperforming Loans and Foreclosed Real Estate”.
The exposure to interest rate risk (“IRR”) is the impact on Parkvale’s current and future earnings and capital from movements in interest rates. To properly manage its historical liability sensitive position and mitigate the financial impact of IRR, Parkvale’s management has implemented an asset and liability management plan to increase the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and extend the average maturity of its liabilities. As part of this program, Parkvale has, among other things (1) promoted the origination and purchase of adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans, (2) maintained a high level of liquidity, (3) emphasized the origination of short-term and/or variable rate consumer loans and (4) attempted to extend the average maturity of its deposits through the promotion of certificate accounts with terms of one year or more. For additional discussion of asset and liability management, see the Asset and Liability Management section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2007 Annual Report.
Interest rate sensitivity gap analysis provides one indicator of potential IRR by comparing interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing at similar intervals. The interest rate sensitvity gap equals the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the gap ratio equals the gap divided by total assets. The one-year gap ratio was 1.67 % of total assets at June 30, 2007 compared to –3.52% of total assets at June 30, 2006. The cumulative five-year gap ratio was 16.54% at June 30, 2006 and 14.28% at June 30, 2007. A key component of the asset and liability management program is that ARM loans represented approximately 69.8% of the Bank’s real estate loan portfolio at June 30, 2007 compared to 72.2% and 72.9% at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Deposits with terms in excess of one year or more decreased $123.0 million from $500.5 million at June 30, 2006 to $377.5 million at June 30, 2007.
The Bank was originally chartered in 1943 as Park Savings and Loan Association and was renamed as a result of its merger with Millvale Savings and Loan Association in 1968. The Bank converted to a stock savings association in 1987 and to a state chartered savings bank in 1993. The charter conversion resulted in the replacement of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as the Bank’s primary federal regulator. The Pennsylvania Department of Banking (“Department”) is the Bank’s primary state regulator. As a Pennsylvania-chartered savings bank, deposits continue to be insured by the FDIC and the Bank retains its membership in the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The savings bank continues to conduct business in a manner substantially identical to the conduct of its business as a savings association. The OTS retains jurisdiction over Parkvale Financial Corporation due to its status as a unitary savings and loan holding company. The Bank is further subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”) governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and certain other matters.
Parkvale’s main office is located at 4220 William Penn Highway, Monroeville, PA 15146, and its telephone number is (412) 373-7200.

The Banking Industry
The earnings of Parkvale are affected by the competitive, economic and regulatory environment in which the savings industry operates. Consolidation, a fundamental trend in the financial services industry, confronts the banking industry with the challenge to survive and prosper in a dynamic market. Strong alliances are likely as banks move to trim costs, expand geographically and consolidate market strengths by diversifying the financial products offered.
The industry continues its consolidation efforts with an operating focus on improving profitability, reallocation of capital and expense management. The traditional banks’ share of the overall loan market has been reduced significantly. Corporate lending has abated since public companies found raising funds on Wall Street is faster and cheaper via commercial paper and medium term notes. At the same time, retail customers are increasingly abandoning traditional commercial and local banks in favor of nonbank financial institutions. Instead of buying a CD or opening a passbook savings account, consumers increasingly place their savings and retirement funds with investment management firms. Mutual fund total assets have increased substantially to exceed total FDIC insured deposits. Banks in today’s market are faced with substantial competition from an array of outside financial service providers, including brokerage firms, insurance companies and mutual fund companies.
A challenge for the financial services industry is to deliver financial products at competitive prices. This translates to spreading costs of services over a greater number of customers and has spurred banks to adopt technological capabilities so that customers may do all their banking without ever having to walk into a branch, consequently reducing operating costs. Parkvale expects a tiering of institutions with several large national and regional firms offering a plethora of products and services on the one hand and a sizeable number of community institutions and niche players on the other.
Prior to recent credit stresses and the Federal Reserve Board’s cut in the discount rate, the consensus outlook was for a housing-induced economic slowdown within a sustained worldwide economic expansion. Although this remains a widely agreed upon forecast, downside risks to the economy have increased as credit availability in the mortgage market has been disrupted. At its August 17, 2007 meeting, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee commented that “downside risks to growth have increased appreciably,” while omitting any reference to inflation. We believe this shift clears the way for the Fed to ease monetary policy in the coming months if evidence of economic weakness accumulates.
Although the moderation in the growth of aggregate demand should help to limit inflation pressures over time, the Committee judges that some inflation risks remain. The extent and timing of any additional rate changes that may be needed to address these risks will depend on the evolution of the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information.
Parkvale will continue to be affected by these and other market and economic conditions, such as inflation and factors affecting the markets for debt and equity securities, as well as legislative, regulatory, accounting and tax changes which are beyond its control. Parkvale has positioned its liquidity level to remain flexible to the high volatility of the financial markets. For additional discussion of asset/liability management, see the Asset and Liability Management section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2007 Annual Report.

Contractual Maturities of Loans
The following table presents information regarding loan contractual maturities as of June 30, 2007 by loan categories during the periods indicated. Mortgage loans with adjustable interest rates are shown in the year in which they are contractually due rather than in the year in which they reprice. The amounts shown for each period do not take into account loan prepayments and normal amortization of the Bank’s loan portfolio:

Gross loans receivable (2) | | $ | 1,023,054 | | | $ | 45,184 | |
| | | | | | |
| | |
(1) | | Includes all residential and commercial real estate loans, and loans for the purchase and development of land. |
|
(2) | | Variable rate and ARM loans represent approximately 63.2% of gross loans receivable maturing in the year ending June 30, 2008. Of the $824.7 million of real estate loans maturing after June 30, 2008, $121.0 million are fixed rate loans and $703.7 million are adjustable rate loans. Of the $23.2 million of commercial loans maturing after June 30, 2008, $18.4 million are fixed rate loans and $4.8 million are adjustable rate loans. Real estate and commercial loans maturing after June 30, 2008 aggregate $847.9 million, of which $139.4 million are fixed rate loans and $708.5 million are adjustable rate loans. |
The average life of mortgage loans has been substantially less than the average contractual terms of such loans because of loan prepayments and, to a lesser extent, because of enforcement of due-on-sale clauses, which enable Parkvale to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase, however, when market rates on new mortgages substantially exceed rates on existing mortgages and, conversely, decrease when rates on new mortgages are substantially below rates on existing mortgages. During fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, many borrowers refinanced their mortgage loans in order to take advantage of the lowest market rates in forty years.
Origination, Purchase and Sale of Loans
As a Pennsylvania-chartered, federally insured savings bank, the Bank has the ability to originate or purchase real estate loans secured by properties located throughout the United States. At June 30, 2007, the majority of loans in Parkvale’s portfolio are secured by real estate located in its primary market area, which consists of the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan and tri state area. However, 46.7% and 47.2% of Parkvale’s total mortgage loan portfolio at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represent loans serviced by others, the majority of which are secured by properties located outside of Pennsylvania, including, in order of loan concentration: Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia. Loan purchases of $142.9 million amounted to 62.3% of Parkvale’s total origination and purchases for fiscal 2007 as compared to loan purchases of $139.5 million, or 60.7% of total originations and purchases in fiscal 2006. See further discussion below.

Parkvale originates new loans primarily within its primary market area or through the PMC office in Columbus, Ohio and, until June 2006, an office in Fairfax, Virginia. In addition, Parkvale purchases loan participations and whole loans from other institutions in the secondary market.
All of Parkvale’s mortgage lending is subject to its written underwriting standards and to loan origination procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Decisions on loan applications are based upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, property valuations by independent appraisers, credit history and cash flow available to service debt. The Loan Committee of Parkvale consists of at least three senior officers and is authorized to approve residential, consumer and commercial real estate credit requests up to $750,000. Requests exceeding $750,000 and requests exceeding $375,000 in which the total borrower loan relationship exceeds $1.5 million must be recommended for approval by the Loan Committee and require specific Board of Directors or its Executive Committee approval. The Loan Committee is authorized to approve commercial and industrial credit requests up to $600,000. Requests in excess of $600,000 and for extension of credit in excess of $300,000 where the total borrowing relationship exceeds $1.2 million must be recommended for approval by Loan Committee and require specific Board of Directors or its Executive Committee approval. Additionally, the Loan Committee has the authority to approve municipal and school district tax anticipation loans without regard to dollar limit. Borrowing relationships with municipalities and school districts are subject to regulatory lending limits. Tax anticipation loans approved by the Loan Committee are submitted to the Board of Directors for ratification.
Under policies adopted by Parkvale’s Board of Directors, Parkvale limits the loan-to-value ratio to 80% on newly originated residential mortgage loans, or up to 95% with private mortgage insurance. Depending upon the amount of private mortgage insurance obtained by the borrower, Parkvale’s loan exposure may be reduced to 65% of the value of the property. Commercial real estate loans generally do not exceed 80% of the value of the secured property. In addition, it is Parkvale’s policy to obtain title insurance policies or certificates of title insuring that Parkvale has a valid first lien on mortgaged real estate.
Originations by Parkvale.Historically, mortgage loans have been originated by Parkvale primarily through referrals from real estate brokers, builders and direct customers, as well as through refinancings for existing customers. Consumer and commercial loan originations are made by Parkvale within its primary market area. Total loan originations for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $160.6 million, $147.0 million and $142.6 million, respectively. See the chart on page 5 for detailed activity for the past three fiscal years. The reduced levels of certain lending categories during fiscal 2005, specifically single family mortgages and commercial mortgages, relate to the Bank’s decision to not offer lower long term fixed rates due to the perceived interest rate risk associated with relatively low fixed rates.
Loan Purchases. The asset/liability strategy of investing in ARM loans provides flexibility in a volatile interest rate environment. Parkvale loan purchases were $142.9 million in fiscal 2007 compared to $139.5 million in fiscal 2006. The increased level of purchases was reflective of the yields available on ARM loans compared to agency securities. In fiscal 2007, all of the purchased loans were ARM loans. Typically, Parkvale purchases loans to supplement the portfolio during periods of loan origination shortfalls and takes advantage of market opportunities when yields on whole loans are greater than similarly securitized loans. Loan purchases are higher when prepayment
8
speeds increase on existing portfolios. All loan purchases are subject to Parkvale’s underwriting standards and are purchased from reputable mortgage banking institutions.
Residential Real Estate Loans
Parkvale offers fixed-rate mortgages and ARMs with amortization periods of up to 40 years. The monthly payment amounts on all Parkvale residential mortgage ARMs are reset at each interest rate adjustment period without affecting the maturity of the ARM. Interest rate adjustments generally occur on either a one, three or five year basis and allow a maximum change of 2% to 3% per adjustment period, with a 6% or 7% maximum rate increase over the life of the loan. ARMs comprised approximately 72.3%, 78.2% and 86.7% of total mortgage loan originations and purchases in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At June 30, 2007, ARMs represented 69.7% of Parkvale’s total residential loan portfolio. ARM loans generally do not adjust as rapidly as Parkvale’s cost of funds. Parkvale has been emphasizing the origination of adjustable-rate versus long-term fixed-rate residential mortgages for its portfolio as part of the asset and liability plan to increase the rate sensitivity of its assets. Loans included in the loan portfolio that are interest only for the initial years of the loan aggregated $244.0 million at June 30, 2007. The interest only loans have demonstrated strong repayment capabilities to date.
Commercial Real Estate Loans
The balance of commercial real estate mortgages was $112.3 million at June 30, 2007 versus $109.0 million at June 30, 2006. Commercial loans offer more attractive yields than residential real estate loans, but are conservatively underwritten and well secured, as are residential loans. Also, these loans are made in the Greater Pittsburgh area, which traditionally has not experienced the dramatic real estate price fluctuations that have occurred in certain other geographic areas.
Consumer Loans
Parkvale offers a full complement of consumer loans, including home equity loans, home equity and personal lines of credit, student loans, personal loans, home improvement loans, credit cards and automobile loans. Total consumer loans outstanding at June 30, 2007 decreased by $9.0 million to $173.5 million from $182.5 million at June 30, 2006. Parkvale offers home equity lines of credit up to 120% of collateral value at a competitive introductory rate. Of an aggregate $49.9 million in outstanding lines of credit at June 30, 2007, $45.3 million have a loan to value ratio of up to 90% and $4.6 million have a loan to value ratio of 90% or above. These loans generally have shorter terms and greater interest rate sensitivity and margins than residential real estate loans.
Home equity lines are revolving and range from $5,000 to $250,000. The amount of the available line of credit is determined by the borrower’s ability to pay, their credit history and the amount of collateral equity. Personal and overdraft lines of credit are generally unsecured and are extended for $500 to $50,000. Line of credit interest rates are variable and are priced at a margin above Parkvale’s prime rate.
Parkvale offers student loans through its community-banking network. Parkvale receives a guaranteed rate on such loans indexed to the 91-day United States Treasury bill rate and generally sells the loans to the Student Loan Marketing Association in order to avoid costly servicing expenses.
9
Parkvale’s deposit loans are made on a demand basis for up to 100% of the balance of the account securing the loan. The interest rate on deposit loans generally equals the rate on the underlying account plus a minimum of 100 basis points.
Parkvale no longer originates loans through PV Financial Service, Inc. (PVFS). PVFS’s portfolio balance was $1.4 million at June 30, 2007 and $1.8 million at June 30, 2006. This portfolio is collateralized by single-family residential properties. PVFS has not generated additional loans during the last four fiscal years. In May 2002, the Bank instituted risk based pricing procedures for home equity loans that were previously originated by PVFS.
Commercial Loans
Parkvale’s commercial loans are primarily of a short-term nature and are extended to small businesses and professionals located within the communities served by Parkvale. Generally, the purpose of the loan dictates the basis for its repayment. Both secured and unsecured commercial loans are offered by Parkvale. In originating commercial loans, the borrower’s historical and projected ability to service the proposed debt is of primary importance. Interest rates are generally variable and indexed to Parkvale’s prime rate. Fixed-rate commercial loans are extended based upon Parkvale’s ability to match available funding sources to loan maturities. Parkvale generally requires personal guarantees on its commercial loans. Commercial loans were $45.2 million and $49.9 million at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Loan Servicing and Loan Fees
Interest rates and fees charged by Parkvale on mortgage loans are primarily determined by funding costs and competitive rates offered in its market area. Mortgage loan rates reflect factors such as general interest rate levels, the availability of money and loan demand.
After originating fixed rate mortgage loans, Parkvale has the ability to sell its loans in the secondary mortgage market, primarily to Freddie Mac. Parkvale generally retains the right to service loans sold or securitized in order to generate additional servicing fee income. The amount of loans serviced by Parkvale for others was $59.1 million at June 30, 2007 and was $66.1 million at June 30, 2006. During fiscal 2003, the Bank entered into an agreement with Freddie Mac, in which the Bank sold $12.2 million of 1-4 family mortgages and retained the servicing for such loans. During fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were few sales. In fiscal 2008, Parkvale anticipates selling a portion of newly originated fixed rate loans. Prior to fiscal 2003, there had been no mortgage loan securitizations or sale transactions in the last five fiscal years, with the exception of certain loans made in conjunction with various state and local bond programs designed to assist first time and/or low income home buyers. Parkvale may or may not be the service provider of these loans depending on the terms of the specific program.
In addition to interest earned on loans and income from servicing of loans, Parkvale generally receives fees in connection with loan commitments and originations, loan modifications, late payments, changes of property ownership and for miscellaneous services related to its loans. Income from these activities varies with the volume and type of loans originated. The fees received by Parkvale in connection with the origination of conventional mortgage loans on single-family properties vary depending on the loan terms selected by the borrower.
Parkvale defers loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs over the contractual life of a loan as an adjustment of yield. Indirect loan origination costs are charged to
10
expense as incurred. Deferred loan origination fees were $400,000, $499,000 and $665,000 at June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The balances primarily reflect the fees deferred related to the commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolio.
Nonperforming Loans and Foreclosed Real Estate
See Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the 2007 Annual Report for information regarding Parkvale’s nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate.
A loan is considered delinquent when a borrower fails to make contractual payments on the loan. If the delinquency exceeds 90 days, Parkvale generally institutes legal action to remedy the default. In the case of real estate loans, this includes foreclosure action. If a foreclosure action is instituted and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at a judicial sale at which, in most instances, Parkvale is the buyer. The acquired property then becomes “foreclosed real estate” until it is sold. In the case of consumer and commercial business loans, the measures to remedy defaults include the repossession of the collateral, if any, and initiation of proceedings to collect and/or liquidate the collateral and/or act against guarantees related to the loans.
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s judgment, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. As a result, no uncollected interest income is included in earnings for loans on nonaccrual status. Parkvale provides an allowance for the loss of accrued but uncollected interest on mortgage, consumer and commercial business loans, which are 90 days or more contractually past due.
Nonaccrual, substandard and doubtful commercial and other real estate loans are assessed for impairment. Loans are considered impaired when the fair value of collateral is insufficient compared to the contractual amount due. Parkvale excludes single-family loans and installment consumer loans in the determination of impaired loans consistent with the exception under paragraph 6 of SFAS 114 of loans measured for impairment. Parkvale Bank had $191,000 of loans classified as impaired at June 30, 2007 and a $130,000 loan classified as impaired at June 30, 2006. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $229,000, $71,000 and $216,000 in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amount of interest income that has not been recognized was $69,000 for fiscal 2007. Impaired assets include $1.9 million of foreclosed real estate as of June 30, 2007. Foreclosed real estate properties are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of the property less the cost to sell.
Assets classified as substandard/nonaccrual or foreclosed real estate in excess of $400,000 at June 30, 2007 consist of one single family home loan with a balance of $520,000 and a foreclosed single family home with a book value of $414,000 and an appraised value of $460,000. Management believes that the fair value of the collateral for the above mentioned loan exceeds book value at June 30, 2007.

During fiscal 2007, a $500,000 commercial line of credit was charged off as a commercial borrower declared bankruptcy and ceased operations. The Bank liquidated the borrower’s remaining assets during fiscal 2007. The Bank does not expect any significant recovery. The first step in determining the allowance for loan losses is recognizing a specific allowance on individual impaired loans. Nonaccrual, substandard and doubtful commercial and other non-residential real estate loans are considered for impairment. Impaired loans are generally evaluated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Based on this evaluation, specific allowances are established on impaired loans when necessary.
The allowance for loan loss was $14.2 million at June 30, 2007 and $14.9 million at June 30, 2006 or 1.14% and 1.21% of gross loans at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is determined by management through evaluation of the loss potential on individual nonperforming, delinquent and high dollar loans, economic and business trends, growth and composition of the loan portfolio and historical loss experience, as well as other relevant factors.
The adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is continually monitored by management with an emphasis on identifying potential portfolio risks to detect potential credit deterioration in the early stages, including trends and risks in the market place and loan types. Management, in conjunction with the Loan Review Committee, establishes allowances based upon its evaluation of the inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan loss is adequate to absorb robable loan losses.

| | | | | | | | | |
As part of its investment strategy, Parkvale also invests in mortgage-backed securities, the majority of which are guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”). GNMA securities are guaranteed as to principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the United States Treasury, while Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae securities are guaranteed by their respective agencies. At June 30, 2007, Parkvale had $27.5 million, or 1.5% of total assets invested in mortgage-backed securities, as compared to 2.1% and 2.3% at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. At June 30, 2007, the mortgage-backed securities included Freddie Mac ($7.2 million); GNMA ($0.5 million); Fannie Mae ($14.7 million) and collateralized mortgage obligations, including REMIC’s ($5.1 million).

Of the Bank’s total investment in corporate debt securities of $49.7 million, there are two corporate bonds aggregating $5 million par value with unrealized losses for a period greater than twelve months. The unrealized losses were primarily caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit debtors to settle the security at a price less than the face value of the investment. The investment ratings of the investments are considered investment grade at Baa3 and Aa2. Parkvale currently does not believe it is probable it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investment. Therefore, it is expected that the debentures would not be settled at a price less than the face value of the investment. Because Parkvale has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, it does not consider these debentures to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2007.
Hedging Activities
The objective of Parkvale’s financial futures policy is to reduce interest rate risk by authorizing an asset and liability-hedging program. The futures policy permits Parkvale’s investment officers to hedge up to $10 million of assets and liabilities. Hedges over $10 million and up to $25 million require the approval of the Audit-Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, and hedges over $25 million require the approval of the Board of Directors. The objective of Parkvale’s financial options policy is to reduce interest rate risk in the investment portfolio through the use of financial options. The options policy permits the use of options on United States Treasury bills, notes, bonds and bond futures and on mortgage-backed securities. The options policy generally limits the use of puts and calls to $5.0 million per type of option. Parkvale’s investment officers are authorized to conduct options activities, which are monitored by the Audit-Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.
Derivative instruments are various instruments used to construct a transaction that is derived from and reflects the underlying value of assets, other instruments or various indices. The primary purpose of derivatives, which include such items as forward contracts, interest rate swap contracts, options futures and equity securities, is to transfer price risk associated with the fluctuations of financial instrument value.

Sources of Funds
General
Savings accounts and other types of deposits have traditionally been the principal source of Parkvale’s funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, Parkvale derives funds from loan repayments and FHLB advances. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in deposits or for inflows at less than projected levels, as well as on a longer term basis to support expanded lending and investment activities.
Deposits
Parkvale has established a complete program of deposit products designed to attract both short-term and long-term savings by providing an assortment of accounts and rates. The deposit products currently offered by Parkvale include passbook and statement savings accounts, commercial checking accounts, noninsured sweep accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit ranging in terms from 30 days to ten years, IRA certificates and jumbo certificates of deposit. In addition, Parkvale is a member of the Star network with 46 ATMs currently operated by Parkvale.
Parkvale is generally competitive in the types of accounts and in the interest rates it offers on its deposit products, although it generally does not lead the market with respect to the level of interest rates offered. Parkvale intends to continue its efforts to attract deposits as a principal source of funds for supporting its lending activities because the cost of these funds generally is less than other borrowings. Although market demand generally dictates which deposit maturities and rates will be accepted by the public, Parkvale intends to continue to promote longer term deposits to the extent possible in a manner consistent with its asset and liability management goals.
The following table shows the distribution of Parkvale’s deposits by type of deposit as of June 30.

The wide range of deposit accounts offered has increased Parkvale’s ability to retain funds and allows it to be more competitive in obtaining new funds, but does not eliminate the threat of
15
disintermediation. During periods of high interest rates, certificate and money market accounts are more costly than traditional accounts. In addition, Parkvale has become subject to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows as customers have become more rate conscious and inclined to move funds into higher yielding accounts. The ability of Parkvale to attract and maintain deposits along with the impact on the cost of funds is significantly affected by competitive market conditions.
The principal methods used by Parkvale to attract deposits include the offering of a wide range of services and accounts, competitive interest rates, and convenient office hours and locations. Parkvale utilizes traditional marketing methods to attract new customers and deposits, including mass media advertising and direct mail. Parkvale’s deposits are obtained primarily from persons who are residents of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Parkvale neither advertises for deposits outside of Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley nor utilizes the services of deposit brokers. Approximately 1.9% of Parkvale’s deposits were held by nonresidents of the tri-state area at June 30, 2007.
The following table sets forth the net deposit flows of Parkvale during the years ended June 30.

Borrowings
Parkvale’s borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh are collateralized with FHLB capital stock, deposits with the FHLB of Pittsburgh, investment securities and loans. See “Regulation — Federal Home Loan Bank System.” Borrowings are made pursuant to several different credit programs, which have varying interest rates, conversion options and range of maturities. FHLB advances are generally available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of savings accounts and to expand lending and investment activities, as well as to aid the efforts of members to establish better asset/liability management by extending the maturities of liabilities.
The following table sets forth information concerning Parkvale’s advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh for the years ended June 30.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2007 | | 2006 | | 2005 |
| | (Dollars in Thousands) |
Average balance outstanding | | $ | 215,518 | | | $ | 217,084 | | | $ | 190,813 | |
Maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during the period | | $ | 215,942 | | | $ | 226,941 | | | $ | 217,141 | |
Average interest rate | | | 5.09 | % | | | 5.01 | % | | | 5.13 | % |
Balance outstanding at June 30 | | $ | 211,658 | | | $ | 221,885 | | | $ | 217,141 | |
The increase in the outstanding average balance from $190.8 million in fiscal 2005 to $217.1 million in fiscal 2006 is due to additional advances drawn on the FHLB during fiscal 2006 and in June 2005. The average increases related to a new borrowing of $10 million during fiscal 2006 at a rate of 4.67% for an advance with a stated maturity of 11 years. Advances borrowed in June 2005 aggregated $20 million with an average rate of 4.37% and an average maturity of 10.5 years.
Subsidiaries
PFC conducts substantially all of its operations through the Bank, which is a Pennsylvania chartered permanent reserve fund stock savings bank headquartered in Monroeville, Pennsylvania.
17
PFC also had two other subsidiaries. Parkvale Statutory Trust I (“PSTI”) and Advance Statutory Trust I (“ASTI”), which were Connecticut chartered investment companies. PSTI and ASTI were formed in 2002 with aggregate borrowings of $32.2 million, which was contributed to the Bank in the form of Tier 1 capital. PSTI was dissolved in fiscal 2007 upon the repayment of all obligations on March 26, 2007.
Pennsylvania law permits a Pennsylvania-chartered, federally insured savings institution to invest up to 2% of its assets in the capital stock, paid-in surplus and unsecured obligations of service corporations and an additional 1% of its assets when the additional funds are utilized for community or inner-city development or investment. Because Parkvale’s subsidiaries are operating subsidiaries rather than service corporations, this limitation does not apply. At June 30, 2007, Parkvale had equity investments of less than $1.0 million in its operating subsidiary corporations.
Parkvale Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries include Parkvale Investment Corporation (“PIC”), Parkvale Mortgage Corporation (“PMC”), PV Financial Service, Inc. (“PVFS”) and Renaissance Corporation (“Renaissance”). PIC was formed in fiscal 2000 as a Delaware investment corporation. PMC was acquired in 1986 and operated two offices originating residential mortgage loans for the Bank during fiscal 2006. The PMC office in Fairfax, Virginia was closed in conjunction with expiration of the lease in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. For additional information regarding PMC, see “Lending Activities”. PVFS was incorporated in 1972 and from 1997 until 2002, PVFS operated as a subprime lending subsidiary with the intent of extending consumer loans to individuals who may otherwise not be able to obtain funds based on their unfavorable or nonexistent credit history. At June 30, 2007, PVFS had net assets of $2.2 million and $1.6 million of loans outstanding. Renaissance completes collateral evaluations for consumer lending activities for the Bank. The sole asset of Renaissance at June 30, 2007 is $145,000 in cash.
Competition
Parkvale faces substantial competition both in the attraction of deposits and in the making of mortgage and other loans in its primary market area. Competition for the origination of mortgage and other loans principally comes from other savings institutions, commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions and other financial service corporations located in the tri-state area. Because of the wide diversity and large number of competitors, the exact number of competitors changes frequently. Parkvale’s most direct competition for deposits has historically come from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions located in southwestern Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and eastern Ohio. In times of higher interest rates, Parkvale also encounters significant competition for investors’ funds from short-term money market securities and other corporate and government securities. During a lower interest rate environment, Parkvale and other depository institutions experience increased competition from stocks, mutual funds, and other direct investments offering the potential for higher yields.
Parkvale competes for loans principally through the interest rates and loan fees it charges on its loan products. In addition, Parkvale believes it offers a high degree of professionalism and quality in the services it provides borrowers and their real estate brokers. It competes for deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours, and convenient branch locations with inter-branch deposit and withdrawal privileges. Parkvale believes its offices are strategically located within the tri-state area, which provides Parkvale with both an opportunity to become an integral part of the local communities within the region and the means of competing with larger financial institutions doing business within the tri-state area. In addition, Parkvale has three
18
offices located in downtown Pittsburgh to provide services to the business community and suburban customers working and shopping in the City of Pittsburgh.
Market Area
The Pittsburgh region has been a business leader for generations. The Pittsburgh Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which includes Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties, is ranked 20th by population in the United States, according to the 2000 U.S. Census. The region’s economy is primarily dependent on a combination of the manufacturing trade, services, government, and transportation industries. The economy has experienced a transition away from the steel and steel-related industries to the service industries, such as transportation, health care, education and finance. In addition to containing the corporate headquarters of major industrial and financial corporations, Pittsburgh is also a major regional health and education center, and a large number of high technology firms have established operations in Pittsburgh due to the wide range of support services available. The area served by Parkvale’s Advance Financial division is demographically quite similar to the Pittsburgh region as the Steubenville, Ohio-Wheeling, West Virginia region is undergoing a transition from heavy industry to state-of-the-art manufacturing, information/service-based office operations and advanced technology/research.
Employees
As of June 30, 2007, Parkvale and its subsidiaries had 395 full-time equivalent employees. These employees are not represented by a collective bargaining agent or union, and Parkvale believes it has satisfactory relations with its personnel.
REGULATION
General
Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations which are applicable to PFC and the Bank. The description of the laws and regulations hereunder, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere herein, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.
Following conversion to a Pennsylvania savings bank charter in fiscal 1993, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, and is no longer directly subject to regulation by the OTS. Nonetheless, several requirements, which were applicable to the Bank as a Pennsylvania chartered savings association regulated by the OTS, remain applicable to the Bank as a Pennsylvania chartered savings bank. The FDIC has adopted a regulation which provides that the same restrictions on activities, investments in subsidiaries, loans to one borrower, and affiliate transactions apply to the Bank as if the Bank had not converted to a savings bank charter. However, the capital requirements applicable to the Bank as a savings bank are the FDIC’s capital maintenance regulations rather than the comparable OTS regulations.
The Bank files reports with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the FDIC describing its activities and financial condition and is periodically examined to test compliance with various regulatory requirements. This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors. Certain of these regulatory requirements are referred to below or elsewhere in this document.
Insurance and Regulatory Structure. The Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) is administered by the FDIC in accordance with deposit reform legislation signed into law on February 8, 2006. This
19
legislation merged the former Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, eliminated any disparities in bank and thrift risk-based premium assessments, reduced the administrative burden of maintaining and operating two separate funds and established certain new insurance coverage limits and a mechanism for possible periodic increases. The legislation also gives the FDIC greater discretion to identify the relative risks all institutions present to the deposit insurance fund and set risk-based premiums. Major provisions in the legislation include:
| • | | Maintaining basic deposit and municipal account insurance coverage at $100,000 but providing for a new basic insurance coverage for retirement accounts of $250,000. Insurance coverage for basic deposit and retirement accounts could be increased for inflation every five years in $10,000 increments beginning in 2011. |
|
| • | | Providing the FDIC with the ability to set the designated reserve ratio within a range of between 1.15% and 1.50%, rather than maintaining 1.25% at all times regardless of prevailing economic conditions. |
|
| • | | Providing a one-time assessment credit of $4.7 billion to banks and savings associations in existence on December 31, 1996. The institutions qualifying for the credit may use it to offset future premiums with certain limitations. |
|
| • | | Requiring the payment of dividends of 100% of the amount that the insurance fund exceeds 1.5% of the estimated insured deposits and the payment of 50% of the amount that the insurance fund exceeds 1.35% of the estimated insured deposits (when the reserve is greater than 1.35% but no more than 1.5%). |
Capital Standards.The Bank is required to maintain Tier I (Core) capital equal to at least 4% of the institution’s adjusted total assets, and total risk-based capital equal to at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital includes both Tier I and Tier II (supplementary) capital, with Tier II capital limited to no more than the amount of Tier I capital. At June 30, 2007, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, with Tier I and total capital ratios of 5.80% and 11.21%, respectively.
The federal banking agencies have adopted risk-based capital standards for insured institutions to take adequate account of interest-rate risk (“IRR”), concentration of credit risk, and the risks of nontraditional activities, as well as to reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily residential loans. The FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), collectively, “the agencies”, jointly issued a policy statement on June 26, 1996 providing bankers guidance on sound interest rate risk management practices. This policy statement augments the action taken by the agencies in 1995 addressing risk-based capital standards for interest rate risk. The agencies elected not to pursue a standardized measure and explicit capital charge for interest rate risk. Instead, the policy statement encourages banks to use their own internal models to measure IRR but emphasizes that they must have adequate board and senior management oversight and a comprehensive process for managing IRR. Parkvale’s management does not anticipate difficulty in meeting the capital requirements in the future. However, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. Failure to maintain minimum levels of required capital will result in the submission to the applicable FDIC Regional Director for review and approval of a reasonable plan describing the means and timing by which the Bank shall achieve its minimum Tier I ratio and may result in the imposition by the Pennsylvania Department of
20
Banking or the FDIC of various operational restrictions, including limitations as to the rate of interest that may be paid on deposit accounts, the taking of deposits, the issuance of new accounts, the ability to originate particular types of loans, and the purchase of loans or the making of specified other investments. Alternatively, the institution may be placed into receivership or conservatorship under the FDIC, which would be charged with managing the institution until it could be sold or liquidated.
Investment in Subsidiaries.Investments in and extensions of credit to subsidiaries not engaged in activities permissible for national banks must generally be deducted from capital. However, certain exemptions generally apply where: (1) a subsidiary is engaged in activities impermissible for national banks solely as an agent for its customers and (2) the subsidiary is engaged solely in mortgage-banking activities. These provisions have not reduced or limited Parkvale’s business activity or resulted in any deductions to capital.
Investment Rules.The permissible amount of loans to one borrower follows the national bank standards for all loans made by savings banks. The national bank standard generally does not permit loans to one borrower to exceed 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. Loans in an amount equal to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus also may be made to a borrower if the loans are fully secured by readily marketable securities. Parkvale has historically made loans with lesser dollar balances than permitted by federal regulations.
Savings banks and subsidiaries may not acquire or retain investments in corporate debt securities that at the time of acquisition were not rated in one of the four highest rating categories by at least one nationally recognized rating organization. Parkvale fully complies with regulations governing investments in corporate debt securities.
Acquisitions by Bank Holding Companies.Bank holding companies are able to acquire any savings institution, including healthy as well as troubled institutions. Current regulations do not impose any geographic restrictions on such acquisitions, and as a result, a number of savings institutions have been acquired by bank holding companies.
Savings and Loan Holding Company Jurisdiction.The Director of the OTS administers and regulates the activities of registered savings and loan holding companies and the acquisition of savings banks by any company. Savings and loan holding companies, such as Parkvale Financial Corporation, are no longer required to receive regulatory approval prior to incurring debt. Savings banks which are subsidiaries of a holding company, as well as other savings banks, are now deemed to be member banks for purposes of Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and, as a result, are subject to the transaction with affiliate rules contained in those sections. Savings and loan holding companies now may also purchase up to 5% of the stock of unaffiliated savings bank or savings and loan holding companies without prior regulatory approval.
Enforcement.The FDIC’s enforcement powers extend to all “institution-affiliated” parties, including shareholders, attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action having or likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Civil penalties are classified into three levels, with amounts increasing with the severity of the violation. The first tier provides for civil penalties up to $5,000 per day for violation of law or regulation. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day may be assessed if there is more than a minimal loss to an institution or an action that results in a substantial pecuniary gain or other benefit.
21
Criminal penalties are increased to $1 million per violation, up to $5 million for continuing violations or for the actual amount of gain or loss. These monetary penalties may be combined with prison sentences of up to five years.
Regulators can impose enforcement action on an institution that fails to comply with its regulatory requirements, particularly with respect to the capital requirements. Possible enforcement actions include the imposition of a capital plan and termination of deposit insurance. The FDIC also may recommend that the Department of Banking take enforcement action. If the Department does not take action, the FDIC would have authority to compel such action under certain circumstances.
USA Patriot Act
The USA Patriot Act imposes additional obligations on U.S. financial institutions, including banks and broker-dealer subsidiaries, to implement policies, procedures and controls that are reasonably designed to detect and report instances of money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Banks must have procedures in place to adequately identify new and existing customers and are required to maintain this information for a set period of time. In addition, provisions of the USA Patriot Act require the federal financial institution regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution’s anti-money laundering activities when reviewing bank mergers and bank holding company acquisitions.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The corporate-governance and accounting-oversight bill, also known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“the Act”), became law in July 2002. The bill created the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, an independent auditing-oversight board under the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), by which the Bank’s holding company, Parkvale Financial Corporation, is regulated. The bill also increases penalties for corporate wrongdoers, requires faster and more extensive financial disclosure, and creates avenues of recourse for aggrieved shareholders. The Act contains separate provisions that require signed certifications to be made by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of all public companies. The Act provides criminal penalties of up to $1.0 million and imprisonment of up to 10 years for an officer that provides a certification knowing it to be untrue.
The Act also addresses functions and responsibilities of audit committees of public companies. These requirements are as follows:
Responsibilities. Each audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the Company’s outside auditors, and the auditors must report directly to the audit committee;
Independence. Each audit committee member must be independent, which under the Act means that he or she cannot (other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board or any other board committee) accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from the Company or be affiliated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
Whistleblower Procedures. Each audit committee must establish procedures to receive and respond to any complaints and concerns regarding the Company’s accounting, accounting controls or auditing matters. These procedures would include enabling the Company’s employees to transmit concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters by confidential, anonymous submission;
22
Engagement of Advisors. In recognition of the audit committee’s independent status, each audit committee is authorized to engage independent counsel and other advisors; and
Payment of Expenses. The Company must provide the appropriate funding, as determined by the audit committee, for payment of compensation to the auditors and advisors of the audit committee. In 2002, the SEC published accelerated filing deadlines for Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. On September 21, 2005, the SEC made permanent the deadlines for accelerated filers. The guidelines as they are expected to affect Parkvale are as follows:
For Form 10-K, fiscal 2007 and thereafter filing deadline is 75 days or September 13, 2007.
For Form 10-Q, quarterly reports filing deadline during fiscal 2008 is 40 days, i.e. November 9, 2007 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
The Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of 12 regional FHLBs, each subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board. The FHLBs provide a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, is required to hold a minimum amount of FHLB capital stock equal to the greater of 1% of its aggregating unpaid residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts or similar obligations at the beginning of the year or 5% of its outstanding advances from the FHLB. The FHLB board of directors sets these percentages and they are subject to change from time to time with the board’s approval. Parkvale had a $15.6 million investment in stock of the FHLB of Pittsburgh at June 30, 2007 to comply with this requirement.
Advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh are secured by a member’s shares of stock in the FHLB of Pittsburgh, certain types of mortgages and other assets. The maximum amount of credit which the FHLB of Pittsburgh will advance for purposes other than meeting deposit withdrawals fluctuates from time to time in accordance with changes in policies of the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Interest rates charged for advances vary depending upon maturity, the cost of funds to the FHLB of Pittsburgh and the purpose of the borrowing. At June 30, 2007, the Bank had $211.7 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh.
Interstate Acquisitions
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has enacted legislation that permits interstate acquisitions and branching, subject to specific restrictions, for savings banks located in Delaware, Kentucky, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia (“the Region”) if the state offers reciprocal rights to savings institutions located in Pennsylvania.
Of the states in the Region, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio and West Virginia currently have laws that permit savings banks located in Pennsylvania to branch into such states and/or acquire savings banks located in such states.
Federal Reserve System
Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings banks to maintain noninterest-earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily checking accounts) and certain nonpersonal time deposits. Money market deposit accounts are subject to the reserve requirement applicable to
23
nonpersonal time deposits when held by a person other than a natural person. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or a non-interest bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this reserve requirement is to reduce the Bank’s interest-earning assets. Parkvale satisfies its reserve requirement with vault cash.
Pennsylvania Savings Bank Law
The Bank is incorporated under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, as amended (“Banking Code”), which contains detailed provisions governing the organization, location of offices, rights and responsibilities of directors, officers, employees and members, as well as corporate powers, savings and investment operations and other aspects of the Bank and its affairs. The Banking Code delegates extensive rulemaking power and administrative discretion to the Department so that the supervision and regulation of state-chartered banks may be flexible and readily responsive to changes in economic conditions and in savings and lending practices.
One of the declared purposes of the Banking Code is to provide banks with the opportunity to be competitive with each other and with other financial institutions existing under other state, federal and foreign laws.
A Pennsylvania savings bank may locate or change the location of its principal place of business and establish an office anywhere in the Commonwealth, with the prior approval of the Department.
The Department generally examines each savings bank at least once every two years. The Banking Code permits the Department to accept the examinations and reports of the FDIC in lieu of the Department’s examination. The present practice is for the Department and the FDIC to conduct examinations annually on an alternating basis. The Department may order any bank to discontinue any violation of law or unsafe or unsound business practice and may direct any director, officer, attorney or employee of a bank engaged in an objectionable activity, after the Department has ordered the activity to be terminated, to show cause at a hearing before the Department why such person should not be removed.
TAXATION
Federal Taxation
For federal income tax purposes, PFC and its subsidiaries file a consolidated return on a calendar year basis and report their income and expenses on the accrual basis of accounting. Since 1987, corporations are subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax to the extent this tax would exceed the regular tax liability. PFC has not been subject to this tax in the past and does not anticipate being subject to this tax in future years given its current level of financial and taxable income. With certain exceptions, no deduction is allowed for interest expense allocable to the purchase or carrying of tax-exempt obligations acquired after August 7, 1986.
PFC’s income tax returns for calendar 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 have been filed with the IRS and are open to examination. However, PFC has not yet been advised by the IRS if an examination will be performed. All income tax returns for calendar 2002 and prior years have been either accepted as filed or settled with the IRS, with such settlements not resulting in a significant charge to income.
State Taxation
For state tax purposes, Parkvale reports its income and expenses on the accrual basis of accounting and files its tax returns on a calendar year basis. The Bank is subject to Ohio Franchise taxes, West
24
Virginia Income Taxes and the Pennsylvania Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax (“MTIT”). The Ohio Franchise tax is based on assets as of January 1 of each year and is not considered an income tax. The MTIT is imposed at the rate of 11.5% on net income computed substantially in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under the Mutual Thrift Institution Act, Parkvale is not subject to any state or local taxes except for the Ohio, West Virginia and MTIT taxes described above and taxes imposed upon real estate and the transfer thereof.
See Note H of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding federal and state taxation.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
Investments in Parkvale’s common stock involve risk. The following discussion highlights risks management believes are material for our company, but does not necessarily include all risks that Parkvale may face.
The market price of Parkvale common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, including:
| • | | changes in securities analysts’ estimates of financial performance |
|
| • | | volatility of stock market prices and volumes |
|
| • | | changes in market valuations of similar companies |
|
| • | | changes in interest rates since net interest income comprises the majority of our revenue and is significantly influenced by changes in interest rates |
|
| • | | new products or services offered in the banking and/or financial services industries |
|
| • | | variations in quarterly or annual operating results |
|
| • | | litigation |
|
| • | | regulatory actions including new laws and regulations and continued compliance with existing laws and regulation |
|

If Parkvale does not adjust to changes in the financial services industry, its financial performance may suffer.
Parkvale’s ability to maintain its history of favorable financial performance and return on investment to shareholders will depend in part on its ability to expand its scope of available financial services to its customers. In addition to other banks, competitors include security dealers, brokers, mortgage bankers, investment advisors, and finance and insurance companies. The increasingly competitive environment is, in part, a result of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems, and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers.
Future governmental regulation and legislation could limit our growth.
Parkvale is subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern nearly every aspect of our operations. Changes to these laws could affect the ability to deliver or expand services and diminish the value of our business. See “Regulation” for additional information.
Interest rate volatility could harm results of operations.
Parkvale’s results of operations depend to a great extent on the difference between the interest earned on loans and investment securities, and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings.
25
Interest rates are beyond our control, and they fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will influence the origination of loans, the purchase of investments, the generation of deposits and the rates received on loans and investment securities and paid on deposits and borrowings. Although increases in interest rates would result in additional interest income from each new loan made or serviced, the number of new loans is likely to decrease as interest rates rise. Any revenue reductions from fewer loans and increased interest expense paid in connection with borrowed funds and deposits may not be offset by the higher income as a result of increased interest rates.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None
Item 2. Properties.
Parkvale presently conducts its business from its main office building and 46 branch offices located in the tri-state area. Parkvale owns the building and land for 24 of its offices and leases its remaining 23 offices. Such leases expire through 2041. PMC leases one facility in Ohio for a loan origination center. At June 30, 2007, Parkvale’s land, building and equipment had a net book value of $17.4 million.
Item 3.Legal Proceedings.
PFC and its subsidiaries, in the normal course of business, is subject to a number of asserted and unasserted potential legal claims. In the opinion of management, there is no present basis to conclude that the resolution of these claims will have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of PFC or its subsidiaries.
