BUSINESS INTRODUCTION Parkvale Financial Corporation ("PFC") is a unitary savings and loan holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Its subsidiary, Parkvale Savings Bank ("Parkvale" or "the Bank"), is a Pennsylvania chartered permanent reserve fund stock savings bank headquartered in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. Parkvale is also involved in lending in the greater Washington, D.C.; Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio areas through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Parkvale Mortgage Corporation ("PMC"). The primary assets of PFC consist of the stock of Parkvale, equity securities and cash. See Note N of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 hereto ("1999 Annual Report") for additional details regarding PFC. In July 1998, the Bank adopted the use of the name Parkvale Bank for advertising and signage purposes. THE BANK GENERAL The Bank conducts business in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area through 30 full-service offices in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler and Westmoreland Counties. With total assets of $1.2 billion at June 30, 1999, Parkvale was the fifth largest financial institution headquartered in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and twelfth 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, mortgage-backed securities, 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 Money Access Center ("MAC") System. Parkvale derives its income primarily from interest charged on loans and 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. 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 $243.1 million and $183.0 million in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. These represent 64.3% and 65.4% of total mortgage loan originations and purchases for the fiscal year 1999 and 1998, respectively. In addition, Parkvale operates loan production offices through its subsidiary, PMC with offices in Fairfax, Virginia; Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio. During fiscal 1999, PMC originated a total of $42.6 million or 11.3% 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, decreased from $4.7 million at June 30, 1998 to $3.3 million at June 30, 1999. The $1.4 million decrease in fiscal 1999 related primarily to foreclosed real estate activity. See "Lending Activities- Nonperforming Loans and Foreclosed Real Estate". 2 3 The exposure from 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 historically 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) deployed excess liquidity, (4) emphasized the origination of short-term and/or variable rate consumer loans and (5) 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 1999 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. More recently from a gap perspective, the excess of interest-bearing liabilities over interest-earning assets which reprice or mature in one year or less was -5.10% of total assets at June 30, 1999 compared to 0.07% of total assets at June 30, 1998. The cumulative five year gap ratio was 0.86% at June 30, 1998 and 8.44% at June 30, 1999. Key components of the asset and liability management program are as follows: ARM loans represented approximately 69.7% of the Bank's real estate loan portfolio at June 30, 1999 compared to 66.5% and 63.8% at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Deposits with terms in excess of one year or more increased $12 million from $569.9 million at June 30, 1998 to $581.9 million at June 30, 1999. Parkvale 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. Parkvale converted to a state chartered savings bank in 1993. Such charter conversion resulted in the replacement of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking ("Department") as the Bank's primary regulators. As a Pennsylvania-chartered savings bank, deposits continue to be insured by the FDIC and Parkvale 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. Parkvale 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 SAVINGS 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 3 4 with investment management firms. Mutual fund total assets have increased substantially throughout the 1990's 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. These nonbanking entities continue to take lending and deposit market share away from the banking industry without the regulatory burdens, FDIC insurance premiums, assessments and other associated costs imposed upon banks and savings institutions. The challenge is the delivery of financial products at competitive prices. This translates to the spreading of costs of services over a greater number of customers and has spurred banks to adopt technological skills so that customers will ultimately do all their banking without ever having to walk into a branch, consequently, reducing operating costs. Parkvale does not foresee the dissolution of the community banking sector. Parkvale expects a tiering of institutions with several large national and regional firms on the one hand and a sizeable number of community institutions and niche players on the other. Parkvale's economic outlook is characterized by continuing moderate economic growth and low inflation. On June 30, 1999, the Federal Reserve increased the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points. This increase, which was widely anticipated, resulted in slight increases in both loan and deposit interest rates being offered in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. 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 market. 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 1999 Annual Report. 4 5 BUSINESS LENDING ACTIVITIES LOAN ACTIVITY AND PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION The following table shows Parkvale's loan origination, purchase and sale activity on a consolidated basis during the years ended June 30. 1999 1998 1997 (In Thousands) TOTAL LOANS RECEIVABLE AT BEGINNING OF YEAR................ $ 854,005 $732,326 $644,794 ---------- -------- -------- Real estate loan originations: Residential: Single family (1)...................................... 85,003 76,719 41,692 Multifamily............................................ -- 1,530 2,487 Construction -Single family.............................. 7,015 6,325 7,584 Commercial............................................... 42,789 12,076 8,259 ---------- -------- -------- TOTAL REAL ESTATE LOAN ORIGINATIONS........................ 134,807 96,650 60,022 Consumer loan originations................................. 95,613 84,660 61,541 Commercial loan originations............................... 17,403 11,904 7,846 ---------- -------- -------- TOTAL LOAN ORIGINATIONS.................................... 247,823 193,214 129,409 Purchase of loans.......................................... 243,121 182,974 104,428 ---------- -------- -------- TOTAL LOAN ORIGINATIONS AND PURCHASES...................... 490,944 376,188 233,837 Principal loan repayments.................................. 106,072 101,850 77,650 Mortgage loan payoffs...................................... 220,664 150,004 66,897 Sales of whole loans....................................... 1,399 2,653 1,758 ---------- -------- -------- Net increase in loans................................... 162,809 121,681 87,532 ---------- -------- -------- TOTAL LOANS RECEIVABLE- END OF YEAR........................ 1,016,814 854,005 732,326 Less: Loans in process.................................... 7,639 7,652 6,393 Allowance for loan losses........................... 13,253 13,223 14,266 Unamortized discounts & loan fees................... 251 372 799 ---------- -------- -------- NET LOANS RECEIVABLE AT END OF YEAR........................ $ 995,671 $832,758 $710,868 ========== ======== ======== - --------------- (1) Includes $42.6 million, $54.9 million and $23.7 million of loans originated by PMC during fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At June 30, 1999, Parkvale's net loan portfolio amounted to $995.7 million, representing 82.8% of Parkvale's total assets at that date. Parkvale has traditionally concentrated its lending activities on conventional first mortgage loans secured by residential property. Conventional loans are not insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or guaranteed by the Department of Veteran's Affairs ("VA"). Conventional loans secured by single family and multifamily residential properties amounted to $802.1 million or 80.6% of the net loan portfolio at June 30, 1999, and loans secured by commercial properties represented $41.6 million or 4.2% of the net loan portfolio. FHA/VA loans accounted for an additional $4.9 million or 0.5% of the net loan portfolio at June 30, 1999. The Bank is a traditional mortgage lender and if it were subject to the "Qualified Thrift Lender" ("QTL") requirements, 91.0% of its assets are considered to be "qualifying" at June 30, 1999. Total consumer loans were $132.2 million or 13.3% of the net loan portfolio at June 30, 1999. Commercial loans represented 2.3% of the net loan portfolio at that date. 5 6 The following table sets forth the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio by type of loan at June 30. 1999 1998 1997 Amount % Amount % Amount % -------- ----- -------- ----- ------- ----- Real estate loans: Residential: (Dollars in Thousands) Single family (1) $785,160 78.9 677,175 81.3 578,906 81.4 Multifamily (2) 16,920 1.7 13,024 1.6 16,825 2.4 FHA/VA 4,913 0.5 6,329 0.8 7,829 1.1 Commercial 41,596 4.2 24,869 2.9 17,724 2.5 Other (3) 12,452 1.2 12,085 1.5 9,329 1.3 --------- ----- -------- ----- -------- ----- Total real estate loans 861,041 86.5 733,482 88.1 630,613 88.7 Consumer loans (4) 129,452 13.0 106,266 12.8 90,305 12.7 Deposit loans 2,749 0.3 2,665 0.3 3,076 0.4 Commercial loans 23,572 2.3 11,592 1.4 8,832 1.2 --------- ----- -------- ----- -------- ----- Total loans receivable 1,016,814 102.1 854,005 102.6 732,326 103.0 Less: Loans in process 7,639 0.8 7,652 0.9 6,393 0.9 Allowance for losses 13,253 1.3 13,223 1.6 14,266 2.0 Unamortized premiums and discounts 251 0.0 372 0.1 799 0.1 --------- ----- -------- ----- -------- ----- Net loans receivable $995,671 100% $832,758 100% $710,868 100% ========= ===== ======== ===== ======== ===== 1996 1995 Amount % Amount % ------ ----- ------ ----- Real estate loans: Residential: (Dollars in Thousands) Single family (1) 507,566 81.2 412,145 78.6 Multifamily (2) 17,375 2.8 22,894 4.4 FHA/VA 9,516 1.5 11,294 2.1 Commercial 19,516 3.1 18,435 3.5 Other (3) 2,387 0.4 3,196 0.6 -------- ----- -------- ----- Total real estate loans 556,360 89.0 467,964 89.2 Consumer loans (4) 76,224 12.2 69,197 13.2 Deposit loans 3,285 0.5 3,253 0.6 Commercial loans 8,925 1.4 4,542 0.9 -------- ----- -------- ----- Total loans receivable 644,794 103.1 544,956 103.9 Less: Loans in process 4,386 0.7 4,816 0.9 Allowance for losses 13,990 2.2 13,136 2.5 Unamortized premiums and discounts 966 0.2 2,459 0.5 -------- ----- -------- ----- Net loans receivable $625,452 100% $524,545 100% ======== ===== ======== ===== - --------------- (1) Includes first mortgages secured by one to four unit residences.

(4) Primarily includes home equity loans, home equity and personal lines of credit, student loans, personal loans, deposit loans, charge cards, home improvement loans and automobile loans. 6 7 The following table sets forth the percentage of loans in each category to total loans at June 30. 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Real estate loans 84.7% 85.9% 86.1% 86.3% 85.9% Consumer loans 13.0 12.7 12.8 12.3 13.3 Commercial loans 2.3 1.4 1.1 1.4 0.8 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Total Loans 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== CONTRACTUAL MATURITIES OF LOANS The following table presents information regarding loan contractual maturities 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. Amounts Due in Real Estate Commercial Years Ending June 30, Loans (1) Loans - --------------------- ----------- ---------- (In Thousands) 2000 $ 5,592 $6,787 2001 - 2004 24,347 7,350 2005 and thereafter 831,102 9,435 -------- ------- Gross loans receivable (2) $861,041 $23,572 ======== ======= - --------------- (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 69.8% of gross loans receivable at June 30, 1999. Of the $872.2 million principal amount of loans maturing after June 30, 2000, loans with an aggregate principal amount of $273.7 million have fixed interest rates and loans with an aggregate principal amount of $598.5 million have variable or adjustable interest rates. 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 1999 and 1998, borrowers were refinancing their mortgage loans in order to take advantage of the lower market rates, as was the case in the early 1990's. ORIGINATION, PURCHASE AND SALE OF LOANS As a Pennsylvania-chartered, federally-insured savings bank, Parkvale has the ability to originate or purchase real estate loans secured by properties located throughout the United States. At June 30, 1999, 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 area. However, 50.9% and 45.3% of Parkvale's total mortgage loan portfolio at June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, represent loans serviced by others, the majority of which are secured by properties located outside of Pennsylvania, including, in order of loan concentration: Colorado, Michigan, Illinois, and Washington. The increase in loans secured by out-of-state properties is due to the loan purchases of $243.1 million, which amounted to 64.3% of Parkvale's total origination and purchases for fiscal 1999. See further discussion below. 7 8 Currently, new loans are originated by Parkvale primarily within its primary market area or through the PMC offices. In addition, Parkvale purchases loan participations and whole loans from other institutions. 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 made on 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 executive officers and is authorized to approve all loans up to $500,000. At least three executive officers must be present to hold a meeting of the Loan Committee. Loans exceeding $500,000 must be approved by the Board of Directors. 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 as low as 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 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, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $134.8 million, $193.2 million and $129.4 million, respectively. Similar to fiscal 1996, favorable rates throughout fiscal 1998 increased housing and refinancing demand as well as commercial and consumer loan demand. Conversely, originations were relatively lower in fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1999 due to a decrease in mortgage demand. LOAN PURCHASES. The asset/liability strategy of owning ARM loans to remain flexible in a volatile interest rate environment was evident during fiscal 1999 as Parkvale increased loan purchases to $243.1 million from $183.0 million in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999, all of the purchased loans were ARM loans. Typically, Parkvale purchases loans to supplement the portfolio during periods of loan origination shortfalls or when yields on whole loans are greater than similarly securitized loans. These loan purchases are subject to Parkvale's underwriting standards and are purchased from reputable mortgage banking institutions. RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS Parkvale offers ARMs with amortization periods of up to 30 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 83.6%, 84.9% and 88.0% of total mortgage loan originations and purchases in fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At June 30, 1999, 69.7% of Parkvale's total residential loan portfolio was represented by ARMs. 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. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS The balance of commercial real estate mortgages increased from $24.9 million at June 30, 1998 to $41.6 million at June 30, 1999. During fiscal 1998, management decided to gradually increase Parkvale's exposure to the local commercial real estate loan market. These 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 8 9 Pittsburgh area, which traditionally has not experienced the dramatic real estate price increases and decreases which 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, deposit loans, home improvement loans, charge card, automobile and sub-prime loans. Total consumer loans outstanding at June 30, 1999 increased by 21.8% to $129.5 million from $106.3 million at June 30, 1998. Parkvale has been granting home equity lines of credit at up to 120% of collateral value at competitive introductory rates. Of an aggregate $41.9 million in outstanding lines of credit at June 30, 1999, $5.3 million have a loan to value ratio greater than 100% and $11.0 million have a loan to value ratio ranging from 81% to 100%. These loans have shorter maturities 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 when the student graduates or leaves school in order to avoid costly servicing expenses. Parkvale's deposit loans are made on a demand basis for up to 90% of the balance of the account securing the loan. The interest rate on deposit loans equals the rate on the underlying account plus a minimum of 200 basis points. Parkvale offers Visa and Visa Gold cards through the Independent Bankers Association of America. Annual fees were waived through June 30, 1999. Credit card balances outstanding totalled $4.2 million, $5.6 million and $5.0 million at June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The balance decreased in fiscal 1999 primarily due to higher interest rates charged on outstanding balances, which increased from 9.84% in fiscal 1998 to 13.75% in 1999. Parkvale began offering subprime loans through our subsidiary, Parkvale Financial Service beginning in fiscal 1998. This new portfolio has generated $5.4 million of secured loans during fiscal 1999 and $4.6 million during fiscal 1998. 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 $23.6 million and $11.6 million at June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increased loans in fiscal 1999 were the result of additional resources dedicated toward small business lending in the greater Pittsburgh area. 9 10 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 decreased from $5.8 million at June 30, 1998 to $3.9 million at June 30, 1999. There have been no mortgage loan securitizations or sale transactions since fiscal 1991, 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 servicer 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 accounts for loan fees and costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91 ("FAS 91"). FAS 91 requires deferral of all loan origination and commitment fees over the contractual life of a loan as an adjustment of yield. In addition, certain direct loan origination costs are required to be deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan as a reduction of yield. Indirect loan origination costs are charged to expense as incurred. Net deferred loan origination fees were $1.2 million, $0.9 million and $1.1 million at June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increased balance in fiscal 1999 reflects the fees deferred related to the higher level of commercial real estate and commercial loans with deferred fees. NONPERFORMING LOANS AND FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE The following summary sets forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended June 30: 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 ----- ------ ------ ------ ------ (In Thousands) Beginning balance $13,223 $14,266 $13,990 $13,136 $12,056 Provision for losses--mortgage loans 155 150 29 440 972 Provision for losses--consumer loans 41 105 370 246 122 Loans recovered 119 108 116 329 95 Loans charged off (285) (1,406) (239) (161) (109) -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Ending balance $13,253 $13,223 $14,266 $13,990 $13,136 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Loans charged off and recovered are as follows: Loans recovered: Consumer $119 $55 $56 $70 $47 Mortgage -- 53 60 259 48 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total recoveries 119 108 116 329 95 Loans charged-off: Consumer (285) (391) (227) (125) (39) Mortgage -- (1,015) (12) (36) (70) -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total charge-offs (285) (1,406) (239) (161) (109) -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net recoveries (charge-offs) $ (166) $(1,298) $ (123) $ 168 $ (14) ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== 10 11 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 which are on nonaccrual status. Parkvale provides an allowance for the loss of accrued but uncollected interest on mortgage, consumer and commercial business loans which are more than 90 days contractually past due. 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 real estate loans are considered impaired. 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 loss reserves are established on impaired loans when necessary. A general allowance is recognized for loan losses in the remainder of the loan portfolio based on known and inherent risk characteristics in the portfolio, past loss experience, prevailing market conditions and other factors, including regulatory guidance. Because evaluating potential losses involves a high degree of management judgement, a margin is included for the imprecision inherent in making these estimates. Loan loss reserves, including general valuation allowances, were 1.30%, 1.55% and 1.95% of gross loans at June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The adequacy of these reserves in relation to current or anticipated trends in the loan portfolio will continue to be monitored by management. The following table presents the allocation of Parkvale's loan loss reserves as of June 30. 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- General allowances: (In Thousands) Residential mortgage $1,861 $1,618 1,393 1,237 1,013 Commercial & multifamily mortgages 2,200 1,318 1,191 1,101 1,011 Consumer 2,095 1,768 1,378 1,168 1,068 Commercial 957 658 597 429 288 Unallocated allowance 5,658 7,532 9,366 9,844 9,573 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total general 12,771 12,893 13,925 13,779 12,953 Specific allowances: Residential mortgage 25 25 107 65 86 Consumer 457 304 234 146 97 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total specific 482 329 341 211 183 Total allowance $13,253 $13,223 $14,266 $13,990 $13,136 ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= 11 12 The following table sets forth information regarding Parkvale's nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate at June 30. 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Nonaccrual Loans: (In Thousands) Mortgage $1,982 $2,366 $2,489 $1,008 $2,031 Commercial 78 -- -- -- -- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total nonaccrual loans $2,160 $2,366 $2,489 $1,008 $2,031 ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Total nonaccrual loans as a percent of total loans 0.21% 0.27% 0.34% 0.16% 0.37% Total foreclosed real estate, net $1,106 $2,362 $ 165 $ 240 $ 96 Total amount of nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate $3,266 $4,728 $2,654 $1,248 $2,127 Total nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate as a percent of total assets 0.27% 0.43% 0.27% 0.14% 0.24% The amount of additional interest income that would have been included in interest income for the years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 if the nonaccrual loans had been current in accordance with their original terms was $102,000, $181,000 and $285,000, respectively. Assets classified as substandard/nonaccrual or foreclosed real estate in excess of $250,000, net of reserves, at June 30, 1999 consist of one commercial property. Parkvale has foreclosed real estate due to a 1998 deed in lieu of foreclosure on office buildings previously owned by 200 Meyran Associates. The office building remaining in foreclosed real estate at June 30, 1999 is in the process of renovations to permit marketing of the property during fiscal 2000. No other nonperforming asset exceeded $250,000 at June 30, 1999. As of June 30, 1999, $1.1 million or 48.7% of the nonaccrual mortgage loans totaling $2.2 million were purchased from others, which were secured by 9 single family properties. INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES Investment decisions are made by authorized officers including the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of Parkvale in accordance with policies established by Parkvale's Board of Directors. Under federal regulations, Parkvale is permitted to invest in commercial paper having one of the two highest investment ratings of two nationally recognized investment rating agencies and certain types of rated corporate debt securities, provided, among other limitations, that the average maturity of Parkvale's portfolio of such corporate debt securities does not exceed six years. In addition, Parkvale may invest up to 1% of its total assets in commercial paper and corporate debt securities that do not meet these rating and maturity requirements, but which Parkvale has reasonable grounds to believe will be repaid. 12 13 Parkvale's investment portfolio consisted of the following securities at June 30 for the years indicated. 1999 1998 1997 -------- -------- -------- (In Thousands) Federal funds sold $ 64,042 $124,900 $107,832 U.S. Government and agency obligations 18,610 31,994 51,950 Municipal Obligations 6,055 6,630 -- Corporate debt 41,746 17,148 17,143 Mortgage backed securities 26,407 43,427 66,941 Equity securities (at market value) 22,313 14,793 13,546 -------- -------- -------- Total investment portfolio $179,173 $238,892 $257,412 ======== ======== ======== As part of its investment strategy, Parkvale 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, 1999, Parkvale had $26.4 million, or 2.2% of total assets invested in mortgage-backed securities, as compared to 4.0% and 6.8% at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At June 30, 1999, the mortgage-backed securities consisted of Freddie Mac ($12.6 million); GNMA ($505,000); Fannie Mae ($2.5 million); collateralized mortgage obligations, including REMIC's ($9.8 million) and private participation certificates ($985,000). The following table shows Parkvale's mortgage-backed security activity during the years ended June 30. 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- (In Thousands) Mortgage-backed securities at beginning of year $ 43,426 $ 66,941 $ 99,371 Purchases -- -- -- Principal repayments (17,019) (23,515) (32,430) Sales -- -- -- -------- -------- -------- Mortgage-backed securities at end of year $ 26,407 $ 43,426 $ 66,941 ======== ======== ======== 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 President 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 President and Senior Vice President - Treasurer are authorized to conduct options activities, which are monitored by the Audit-Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. Parkvale has not engaged in any financial future or financial option activity in the last three fiscal years. 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 and futures, is to transfer price risk associated with the fluctuations of financial instrument value. Parkvale has not entered into any forward contracts, interest rate swap contracts, options or futures. 13 14 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. Parkvale's ability to maintain high liquidity levels has allowed investment decisions to be evaluated with the funding source as a secondary issue. 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, noninsured sweep accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit ranging in terms from 31 days to ten years, IRA certificates and jumbo certificates of deposit. In addition, Parkvale is a member of the MAC system with twenty-four 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. This is apparent during fiscal 1999, due to the deposit increases that are attributable to certificate of deposit specials that ranged in terms from 15 to 30 months with rates ranging from 5.00% to 5.75%. The following table shows the distribution of Parkvale's deposits by type of deposit as of June 30. 1999 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- ---------- Balance % Balance % Balance % ---------- ----- ---------- ----- ---------- ----- (Dollars in Thousands) Passbook accounts $ 141,381 13.6% $ 138,110 14.6% $ 139,089 15.8% Checking accounts 116,844 11.3 94,893 10.0 81,701 9.2 Money market accounts 41,576 4.0 42,895 4.5 44,804 5.1 Certificate accounts 664,139 65.0 613,836 64.7 566,677 64.3 Jumbo certificates 63,661 5.2 51,339 5.3 41,354 4.7 Accrued interest 9,815 0.9 8,379 0.9 7,619 0.9 ---------- ----- ---------- ----- ---------- ----- Total Savings Deposits $1,037,416 100.0% $ 949,452 100.0% $ 881,244 100.0% ========== ===== ========== ===== ========== ===== 14 15 The following table sets forth information regarding average balances and average rates paid by type of deposit for the years ending June 30. 1999 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- ---------- Average Average Average Balance % Balance % Balance % --------- ---- -------- ---- -------- ---- (Dollars in Thousands) Passbook accounts $137,549 2.21% $136,315 2.52% $137,184 2.61% Checking accounts 108,867 0.77 90,841 1.00 76,366 1.06 Money market accounts 42,189 2.71 44,020 2.94 45,825 2.93 Certificate accounts 697,315 5.70 632,471 5.86 577,691 5.78 Accrued interest 8,690 -- 7,988 -- 6,637 -- -------- ---- -------- ---- -------- ---- $994,610 4.50% $911,635 4.68% $843,703 4.64% ======== ==== ======== ==== ======== ==== The wide range of deposit accounts offered has increased Parkvale's ability to retain funds and allowed it to be more competitive in obtaining new funds, but does not eliminate the threat of disintermediation. During periods of high interest rates, certificate and money market accounts have been more costly than traditional accounts. In addition, Parkvale has become much more subject to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows as customers have become more rate conscious and willing to move funds into higher yielding accounts. The ability of Parkvale to attract and maintain deposits and Parkvale's cost of funds has been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by 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. Parkvale neither advertises for deposits outside of Pennsylvania nor utilizes the services of deposit brokers. An insignificant amount of Parkvale's deposits were held by nonresidents of Pennsylvania at June 30, 1999. The following table sets forth the net deposit flows of Parkvale during the years ended June 30. 1999 1998 1997 ------- ------- ------- (In Thousands) Increase before interest credited $54,286 $35,126 $44,550 Interest credited 33,678 33,082 29,607 ------- ------- ------- Net deposit increase $87,964 $68,208 $74,157 ======= ======= ======= Management carefully monitors the interest rates and terms of its deposit products in order to maximize Parkvale's interest rate spread and to better match its interest rate sensitivity.

See "Regulation - Federal Home Loan Bank System". Borrowings are made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate 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. 1999 1998 1997 ------- -------- ------- (Dollars in Thousands) Average balance outstanding $57,748 $23,176 $15,687 Maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during the period $60,667 $40,671 $15,692 Average interest rate 5.71% 6.18% 6.87% Balance outstanding at June 30 $60,659 $40,671 $15,682 16 17 The increase in the outstanding average balance from $23.2 million in 1998 to $57.7 million in 1999 is due to additional advances drawn on the FHLB during both years. The increases related to new borrowings made throughout calendar 1998 at relatively low rates ranging from 4.86% to 5.75% for advances with a stated maturity of ten years, with conversion options after five or six years. Such borrowings were used to fund either loan purchases or loan originations. YIELDS EARNED AND RATES PAID The results of operations of Parkvale depend substantially on its net interest income, which is the largest component of Parkvale's net income. Net interest income is affected by the difference or spread between yields earned by Parkvale on its loan and investment portfolios and the rates of interest paid by Parkvale for its deposits and borrowings, as well as the relative amounts of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Parkvale's operating results are also affected by levels of noninterest income and expenses. The following table sets forth the average yields earned on Parkvale's interest-earning assets and the average rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, the resulting average interest rate spreads, the net yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average yields and rates at June 30, 1999.

Because Parkvale's subsidiaries are operating subsidiaries rather than service corporations, this limitation does not apply. At June 30, 1999, Parkvale had equity investments of less than $1.0 million in its subsidiary corporations. Parkvale's wholly-owned subsidiaries include Parkvale Mortgage Corporation ("PMC"), P.V. Financial Service Inc. ("PVFS") and Renaissance Corporation ("Renaissance"). PMC was acquired in 1986 and currently operates three offices originating residential mortgage loans for the Bank. For additional information regarding PMC, see "Lending Activities". PVFS was incorporated in 1972 and on July 1, 1997, PVFS began operating 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, 1999, PVFS had net assets of $24,000 and $8.4 million of loans outstanding. Renaissance completes collateral evaluations for consumer lending activities for the Bank. The sole asset of Renaissance at June 30, 1999 is $45,000 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 Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Because of the wide diversity and large number of competitors, the exact number of competitors is fluid. Parkvale's most direct competition for deposits has historically come from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions located in the Pittsburgh area. In times of high interest rates, Parkvale also encounters significant competition for investors' funds from short-term money market securities and other corporate and government securities. During the low interest rate environment, Parkvale and other depository institutions have also experienced 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 programs. 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 interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges at each branch. Parkvale believes that its office locations in various neighborhoods of Pittsburgh and the surrounding suburbs outside of downtown Pittsburgh provide Parkvale with both an opportunity to become an integral part of these smaller communities and the means of competing with larger financial institutions doing business within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. In addition, Parkvale has three offices located in downtown Pittsburgh to provide services to the business community and to its suburban customers working and shopping in the city. MARKET AREA The greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area, which is a heavily populated and predominately industrialized region, ranks 19th in population of the metropolitan areas in the country according to the 1990 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 19 20 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. EMPLOYEES As of June 30, 1999, Parkvale and its subsidiaries had 276 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 Following conversion to a Pennsylvania savings bank charter in fiscal 1993, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation by the FDIC and the Department, 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. An insurance fund administered by the FDIC and named the SAIF insures the deposits of savings associations and certain savings banks. The FDIC fund known as the BIF insures the deposits of commercial banks and certain savings banks. Although the FDIC administers both funds, the assets and liabilities are not commingled. 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, 1999, Parkvale was in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, with Tier I and total capital ratios of 6.9% and 12.1%, respectively. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") required, among other things, each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital standards for insured institutions to ensure that those standards 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. On June 26, 1996, the FDIC, the FRB and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), collectively, "the agencies", jointly issued a policy statement providing bankers guidance on sound interest rate risk management practices. This policy statement augments the action taken by the agencies in August 1995 to implement the portion of FDICIA addressing risk-based capital standards for interest rate risk. It also replaced the proposed policy statement that the agencies issued for comment in August 1995 regarding a supervisory framework for measuring and assessing banks' interest rate exposures. The agencies elected not to pursue a standardized measure and explicit capital charge for interest rate risk at this time. 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. 20 21 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 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 a particular type of loan, and the purchase of loans or the taking 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: (i) a subsidiary is engaged in activities impermissible for national banks solely as an agent for its customers and (ii) the subsidiary is engaged solely in mortgage-banking activities. These provisions have not reduced or limited Parkvale's business activity. 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 more than a minimal loss to an institution or action that results in a substantial pecuniary gain or other benefit. 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. 21 22 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 action is not taken by the Department, the FDIC would have authority to compel such action under certain circumstances. 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 acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that FHLB in an amount equal to at least 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 5% of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, whichever is greater. Parkvale had a $9.2 million investment in stock of the FHLB of Pittsburgh at June 30, 1999 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, 1999, the Bank had $60.7 million of outstanding advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. INTERSTATE ACQUISITIONS The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has enacted legislation which 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 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 the majority of 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 22 23 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 1998, 1997 and 1996 have been filed with the IRS and are open to examination. However, PFC has not yet been advised by the IRS if such an examination will be performed. All income tax returns for calendar 1995 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. Parkvale is subject to the Pennsylvania Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax ("MTIT"). This tax 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 MTIT 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. 23 24 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Parkvale presently conducts its business from its main office and 30 branch offices located in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Parkvale owns the building and land for 14 of its offices and leases its remaining 16 offices. Such leases expire through 2014. PMC leases facilities outside of Pennsylvania for three loan origination centers. At June 30, 1999, Parkvale's land, building and equipment had a net book value of $5.1 million. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. PFC and its subsidiaries, in the normal course of business, are subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of such other lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on PFC's nor its subsidiaries' financial positions.
