June 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash, due from banks, and federal funds sold.

NOTE 3 Interest Rate Cap
On September 27, 1999, the Corporation entered into an
interest rate cap transaction as a vehicle to partially hedge net
interest income against the effect of rising market interest
rates. The transaction was effective September 29, 1999, has a
notional amount of $5,000,000, a term of five years, a strike
rate of 6.00% and is indexed to 3-month LIBOR. At June 30, 2000,
the cost of the cap was $161,500 and the fair value was $225,503.
A gain of $4,242, net of tax, was recorded as other comprehensive
income for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
NOTE 4 - Stock Repurchase Program
On March 2, 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 75,000 shares of the Corporation's $1.00 par
value common stock. The repurchases are authorized to be made
from time to time during the next 12 months in open market or
privately negotiated transactions. The repurchased shares will
be held as treasury shares available for issuance in connection
with future stock dividends and stock splits, employee benefit
plans, executive compensation plans, and for issuance under the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan and other corporate purposes. During
the first six months ended June 30, 2000, 16,400 shares of the
Corporation's common stock were repurchased at a cost of
approximately $275,000.
NOTE 5 Bank Owned Life Insurance
On June 5, 2000, the Corporation purchased Bank Owned Life
Insurance (BOLI) in the amount of $6.0 million that will yield a
return of approximately 6.4%, or tax equivalized, 9.8%. The
Corporation paid a one-time single premium of $6.0 million, split
between two insurance companies, to purchase approximately $19
million in death benefit coverage on the lives of a selected
group of employees.
The Corporation's $6.0 million investment has been recorded
as an Other Asset. At June 30, 2000, the carrying value of the
investment was $6,026,200.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
for the Three and Six Month Periods
Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
Part 1, Item 2
Results of Operations
In the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,
the Corporation earned $1.15 million and $2.36 million,
respectively, compared to $1.24 million and $2.52 million,
respectively, for the comparable periods ended June 30, 1999.
Basic earning per share equaled $.42 and $.87, respectively, for
the second quarter and six months in 2000 versus $.46 and $.92,
respectively, for the same periods in 1999. Lower fee income and
deferred costs from loan originations, a tighter net interest
margin, higher salary and benefit costs and higher loan
collection expense are the primary factors contributing to the
lower reported net income for the second quarter and six months.
Book value per share equaled $14.47 at June 30, 2000, compared to
$14.04 at June 30, 1999.
The Corporation's annualized return on average assets (ROA)
and return on average equity (ROE) for the first six months of
2000 were 1.06% and 12.17%, respectively, compared to 1.20% and
12.87%, respectively, for the first six months of 1999. A six
percent growth in assets over the six month period ended June 30,
2000, versus the six month period ended June 30, 1999, coupled
with a six percent decline in net income for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, produced the lower ROA. The decline in earnings
in the first six months of 2000 compared to the first six months
of 1999 was the primary driver behind the lower ROE for the
period.
Net interest income recorded an increase of $147,000, or
4.1%, to $3.715 million for the second quarter ended June 30,
2000, compared to $3.568 million for the second quarter ended
June 30, 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net
interest income was up $244,000, or 3.4%, to $7.407 million from
$7.163 million at June 30, 1999. Although net interest income
increased in absolute dollars due to balance sheet growth, the
Corporation's net interest spread and net interest margin have
experience compression primarily due to the current rising
interest rate environment. Interest spread and net interest
margin for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was 3.10% and
3.79%, respectively, compared with 3.27% and 3.90%, respectively,
for the same period ended June 30, 1999.
For the second quarter and six months, the Corporation
expensed $120,000 and $393,000, respectively, for possible loan
losses. This compares with $200,000 and $395,000 for the second
quarter and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 1999. A
loss on the sale of nonperforming loans in the second quarter
ended June 30, 2000 was offset by a reduction in provision for
the quarter.
Total noninterest income, excluding securities gains, was up
$34,000, or 3.2%, to $1.081 million and $66,000, or 3.1%, to
$2.166 million for the second quarter and six months,
respectively, ended June 30, 2000. Revenues from fee income
related to lending activities, primarily mortgage banking
activities, were down $100,000 for the second quarter and
$106,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000. More than
offsetting the decrease in lending activity fees was an increase
in Other service charges and fees of $116,000 for the second
quarter and $146,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Contributing to this increase was a newly implemented ATM access
fee, $37,000, the sale of the Merchant Card portfolio, $34,000,
and income from the purchase of Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI),
$26,000. All of these transactions occurred in the second
quarter of 2000.
The Corporation realized $110,000 and $217,000 in securities
gains for the second quarter and six months, respectively, ended
June 30, 2000. There were no securities gains realized in the
second quarter or six months ended June 30, 1999. All realized
gains in 2000 were produced from the Corporation's available-for-
sale bank equities portfolio and were used to offset expenses
related to other real estate owned (ORE) and loan collections in
the respective periods.
Total noninterest expense was up $533,000, or 18.6% to
$3.399 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, over
the second quarter of 1999 and up $792,000, or 13.8%, to $6.536
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, over the
comparable period in 1999. For the second quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2000, the two categories that were the primary
contributors to the increase in noninterest expense were salaries
and benefits and other expense.
Salary expense, which includes commissions and a recently
initiated pay for performance program, was up $132,149, or 9.55% for
the second quarter and $258,141, or 9.29%, for the six months. An
increase in full-time-equivalent (FTE) employees to 187 at June
30, 2000 from 183 at June 30, 1999 as well as a change to pay for
performance in the second half of 1999 served to push salary
expense up for the quarter and six months. The increase in FTEs
is largely attributable to strategic initiatives in the
Cumberland County markets. Benefits expense was up $27,439, or
9.34 %, to $323,910 for the second quarter and $71,284, or
11.94%, to $668,174 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Higher health insurance costs, a smaller credit for pension
expense and higher payroll taxes are the primary expense
categories driving the increase. Lower deferred costs for
salaries and benefits related to a smaller volume of loan
originations, primarily mortgage originations, also acted to
increase total salaries and benefits. The increase related to
lower deferred costs for the second quarter of 2000 was
approximately $62,000 and for the first six months of 2000
approximately $130,000 when compared to the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1999.
Other expense was up $239,000, or 45.4%, to $765,000 for the
second quarter and up $272,000, or 26.8%, to $1.286 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same periods
ended June 30, 1999. The primary contributors to the increase in
other expense for the second quarter and six months ended June
30, 2000, were losses on the sale of nonperforming loans,
$137,000, and higher loan collection expense $100,000, related to
ORE.
Federal income tax expense for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2000, was $234,000 and $497,000,
respectively, compared to $304,000 and $600,000 for the same
periods ended June 30, 1999. The Corporation's effective tax
rate for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000,
was 16.9% and 17.4%, respectively, compared to 19.6% and 19.2%,
respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended June
30, 1999. The decrease in the effective tax rate period over
period is primarily due to an increase in tax-free income
relative to pretax net income.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $453.2 million at June 30, 2000, an
increase of $8.571 million, or 1.9%, from $444.7 million at
December 31, 1999. Loan growth for the first six months of 2000
has been moderate, increasing $12.2 million, or 4.2%, to $300.1
million at June 30, 2000, from $287.9 at December 31, 1999. The
Corporation has seen a 40% decline in its mortgage loan
originations during the first six months of 2000 compared to the
first six months of 1999. Commercial and consumer loans, up 6.2%
and 6.0%, respectively, during the same period have helped to
partially offset this decline. Premises and equipment recorded an
increase of $712,000, or 12.9% to $6.2 million at June 30, 2000
from $5.5 million at December 31, 1999, largely due to the
purchase of two parcels of land in two new markets. An ATM was
installed on the one parcel and was operational on July 27; a
community office will be built on the other parcel with an
expected completion date of October 31, 2000. In June, the
Corporation purchased $6.0 million of Bank Owned Life Insurance
(BOLI) which is recorded in Other Assets and accounts for the
substantial increase in this category. For more information on
the BOLI purchase see Note 6.
Funding the growth in assets from December 31, 1999, was
deposit growth of $4.9 million, or 1.5%, and an increase of $11.2
million, or 40.8%, in securities sold under agreements to
repurchase. Deposits and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase totaled $338.2 million and $38.3 million, respectively
at June 30, 2000.
Total shareholders' equity increased $929,000, or 2.4%, to
$40.2 million at June 30, 2000, from $39.2 million at December
31, 1999. The net effect of an increase in retained earnings
offset by increased unrealized security losses and stock
repurchase transactions during the six months accounted for the
majority of the change in shareholders' equity. Cash dividends
declared in the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, totaled
$501,000 compared to $447,000 in the second quarter of 1999. For
the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash dividends declared
totaled $1.0 million versus $2.0 million for the same period in
1999. Cash dividends declared for the first six months of 1999
included a special cash dividend of $.40 per share.
Capital adequacy is currently defined by regulatory agencies
through the use of several minimum required ratios. At June 30,
2000, the Corporation was well capitalized as defined by the
banking regulatory agencies. The Corporation's leverage ratio,
Tier I and Tier II risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2000
were 8.87%, 12.44% and 13.64%, respectively. For more
information on capital ratios refer to Note 2 of the accompanying
financial statements.
Net charge-offs for the second quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2000, totaled $307,000 and $412,000, respectively,
compared to $146,000 and $267,000 for the same periods ended
June 30, 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, 60% of
net charge-offs were from the commercial portfolio versus the
first six months ended June 30, 1999, when 93.5% of the net
charge-offs were from the consumer portfolio. The increase in
commercial net charge-offs for the first six months of 2000 is
related primarily to one large credit and is not indicative of
the quality of the entire commercial portfolio. The annualized
ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was .28% at June 30,
2000, versus .19% at December 31, 1999.
Nonperforming loans were down $2.5 million to $1.1 million
at June 30, 2000 from $3.6 million at December 31, 1999.
Contributing to the decrease in nonperforming loans was a
transfer of $1.2 million to ORE. In addition, $600,000 in
nonperforming loans were sold to a third party, $203,000 was
transferred to other repossessed assets and the remainder either
charged-off or paid-off. Included in nonperforming loans at June
30, 2000, were nonaccrual loans totaling $586,000 and loans past
due 90 days or more totaling $520,000 compared to $3.1 million
and $451,000, respectively, at December 31, 1999. The
Corporation recorded ORE equaling $1.5 million at June 30, 2000
versus $306,000 at December 31, 1999. Nonperforming assets
represented .57% of total assets at June 30, 2000 compared to
.87% at December 31, 1999.
The allowance for possible loan losses totaled $3.8 million
at June 30, 2000, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 1999
and represented 1.28% and 1.34% of total loans at June 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively. The allowance provided
coverage for nonperforming loans at a rate of 1.34 times at June
30, 2000.
The local economy remains basically unchanged from year-end
1999. At 3.5%, the unemployment rate is near the 11-year low of
3.0% for the Franklin County area.
Liquidity
The Corporation's liquidity position (net cash, short-term
and marketable assets divided by net deposits and short-term
liabilities) was 20.2% at June 30, 2000. The Corporation had
advances outstanding totaling $33.8 million with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) at June 30, 2000. The Corporation
has term and overnight borrowings with FHLB. Currently, the
maximum borrowing capacity for the Corporation with FHLB is
approximately $108.7 million. Management believes that liquidity
is adequate to meet the borrowing and deposit needs of its
customers.
