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 N of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding PFC.
 
THE BANK
 
General
 
The Bank conducts business in the greater Tri-State area through 48 full-service offices with 41 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 $1.85 billion at June 30, 2008, Parkvale was the ninth largest financial institution headquartered in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and eleventh largest financial institution with a significant presence in Western Pennsylvania.
 
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 Federal Home Loan Bank (“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.
 
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, 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 $87.7 million and $142.9 million in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. These represent 52.6% and 62.3% of total mortgage loan originations and purchases for the fiscal year 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, Parkvale operates a loan production office through its subsidiary, PMC with an office in Columbus, Ohio. During fiscal 2008, PMC

originated a total of $10.2 million or 6.1% 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 $6.2 million at June 30, 2007 to $15.8 million at June 30, 2008. The $9.6 million increase in fiscal 2008 is primarily due to single-family homes and commercial real estate loans at June 30, 2008. 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 or the purchase of adjustable rate investment securities, (2) maintained a high level of liquidity, (3) emphasized the origination of short-term and/or variable rate consumer/commercial 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”.
 
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 sensitivity 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 2.07% of total assets at June 30, 2008 compared to 1.67% of total assets at June 30, 2007. The cumulative five-year gap ratio was 14.28% at June 30, 2007 and 8.54% at June 30, 2008. A key component of the asset and liability management program is that ARM loans represented approximately 60.9% of the Bank’s real estate loan portfolio at June 30, 2008 compared to 69.8% and 72.2% at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Deposits with terms in excess of one year decreased $63.9 million from $377.5 million at June 30, 2007 to $313.6 million at June 30, 2008.
 
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 competitive, economic and regulatory environment in which the savings industry operates affects Parkvale’s earnings. 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. Retail customers are increasingly abandoning traditional commercial and community 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.

Deteriorating asset quality concentrated in real estate loan portfolios continued to take a toll on the earnings performance of many insured institutions in the first quarter of 2008. Record-high loan loss provisions, record losses in trading activities and goodwill impairment expenses combined to dramatically reduce earnings of FDIC-insured institutions. Fourth-quarter 2007 net income of $5.8 billion was the lowest amount reported by the industry since the fourth quarter of 1991. Earnings performance so far in 2008 has likewise been weak. First quarter 2008 earnings for the industry totaled only $19.3 billion compared to $35.6 billion a year earlier, a decline of 46%.
 
At its August 5, 2008 meeting, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) commented that “tight credit conditions, the ongoing housing contraction, and elevated energy prices are likely to weigh on economic growth over the next few quarters.” Inflation has been running high due to increases in the prices for energy and some other commodities, and some indicators of inflation expectations have been elevated. Although the weakness of the economy should help to limit inflation pressures over time, the FOMC believes that the inflation outlook remains highly uncertain. 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”.

Conventional loans are not insured by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) or guaranteed by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (“VA”).

Real estate and commercial loans maturing after June 30, 2009 aggregate $999.3 million, of which $360.7 million are fixed rate loans and $638.6 million are adjustable rate loans.
 
(3) Of the $124.8 million of consumer loans maturing after June 30, 2009, $123.5 million are fixed rate loans and $1.3 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 the past five fiscal years, many borrowers refinanced their mortgage loans in order to take advantage of low market rates.
 
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, 2008, 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, 44.4% and 46.7% of Parkvale’s total mortgage loan portfolio at June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 $87.7 million amounted to 52.6% of Parkvale’s total origination and purchases for

fiscal 2008 as compared to loan purchases of $142.9 million, or 62.3% of total originations and purchases in fiscal 2007. See further discussion below.
 
Parkvale originates new loans primarily within its primary market area or through the PMC office in Columbus, Ohio. 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. Parkvale’s Loan Committee 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 97% 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 general 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, Parkvale has originated mortgage loans primarily through referrals from real estate brokers, builders and direct customers, as well as refinancing for existing customers. Parkvale makes consumer and commercial loan originations within its primary market area. Total loan originations for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $190.7 million, $160.6 million and $147.0 million, respectively. See the chart on page 5 for detailed activity for the past three fiscal years.
 
Loan Purchases.  The asset/liability strategy of investing in ARM loans provides flexibility in a volatile interest rate environment. Parkvale loan purchases were $87.7 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $142.9 million in fiscal 2007. The decreased level of purchases was related to the uncertainties in the secondary mortgage market that began in August 2007. In fiscal 2008, 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 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 66.4%, 72.3% and 78.2% of total mortgage loan originations and purchases in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2008, ARMs represented 66.9% 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 $259.1 million at June 30, 2008. The interest only loans have demonstrated an adequate repayment experience to date.
 
Commercial Real Estate Loans
 
The balance of commercial real estate mortgages was $113.6 million at June 30, 2008 versus $112.3 million at June 30, 2007. 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 and tri-state 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, 2008 increased by $3.4 million to $176.9 million from $173.5 million at June 30, 2007. Parkvale offers home equity lines of credit up to 120% of collateral value at a competitive introductory rate. Of an aggregate $48.5 million in outstanding lines of credit at June 30, 2008, $43.2 million have a loan to value ratio of up to 90% and $5.3 million have a loan to value ratio of 90% or above. Consumer 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 indexed to Parkvale’s prime rate.
 
Parkvale has offered 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 (“SLMA”) in order to avoid costly servicing expenses. In fiscal 2009, education loans may not be offered if SLMA discontinues its purchase program.
 
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 $1.0 million at June 30, 2008 and $1.4 million at June 30, 2007. This portfolio is collateralized by single-family residential properties. PVFS has not generated additional loans during the last five 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. Parkvale offers both secured and unsecured commercial loans. 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 $43.6 million and $45.2 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 is an approved seller/servicer with Freddie Mac. 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. 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 $53.1 million at June 30, 2008 and was $59.1 million at June 30, 2007. During fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, there were few sales. In fiscal 2009, Parkvale may sell a portion of newly originated fixed rate loans. Prior to fiscal 2003, mortgage loan securitizations or sale transactions were limited to 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 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 expense as incurred. Deferred loan origination fees were $163,000, $400,000 and $499,000 at June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, 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 — Non-Performing Loans and Foreclosed Real Estate 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. The Bank had $1.1 million of loans classified as impaired at June 30, 2008 and a $191,000 loan classified as impaired at June 30, 2007. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $969,000, $229,000 and $71,000 in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The amount of interest income that has not been recognized was $94,000 for fiscal 2008, $69,000 for fiscal 2007 and $10,000 for fiscal 2006. Impaired assets include $3.3 million of foreclosed real estate as of June 30, 2008. Foreclosed real estate properties are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of the property less the cost to sell.

Percentage of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding
    0.11 %     0.13 %     0.08 %     0.07 %     0.10 %
 
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 2008 and 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 $15.2 million at June 30, 2008 and $14.2 million at June 30, 2007 or 1.25% and 1.14% of gross loans at June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 probable loan losses. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis in this Annual Report for information regarding Parkvale’s “Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Provision for Loan Losses”.

Investment Activities
 
In accordance with policies established by Parkvale’s Board of Directors, investment decisions are made by authorized officers including the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer.
 
Parkvale’s investment portfolio consisted of the following securities at June 30 of the years indicated.
 
                         
    2008     2007     2006  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
 
U.S. Government and agency obligations
  $ 71,411     $ 266,996     $ 323,151  
Municipal obligations
    4,050       5,234       4,872  
Corporate debt
    139,161       49,667       31,112

Equity securities (at market value)
    31,347       30,580       27,917  
                         
Total investment portfolio
  $ 444,375     $ 379,943     $ 425,183  
                         
 
Of the U.S. Government and agency obligations in the portfolio at June 30, 2007, $256.5 million were called or matured during fiscal 2008. Such funds were redeployed into other investments, including mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt (including trust preferred securities) and other U.S. Government and agency obligations.
 
As part of its investment strategy, Parkvale also invests in mortgage-backed securities, which are guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) as well as collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”). 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 government sponsored agencies. At June 30, 2008, Parkvale had $198.4 million, or 10.7% of total assets invested in mortgage-backed securities, as compared to 1.5% and 2.1% at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2008, the mortgage-backed securities included Freddie Mac ($4.8 million); GNMA ($1.4 million); Fannie Mae ($10.2 million) and CMOs ($182.0 million). The fiscal 2008 CMO purchases with remaining balances of $177.7 million at June 30, 2008 included 22 privately pooled offerings issued by nationwide issuers of mortgage obligations. All of the fiscal 2008 CMO purchases are rated AAA and are adjustable rate securities with a weighted average yield of 5.84% at June 30, 2008. All of the CMOs and other mortgage-backed securities were current at June 30, 2008.
 
The Federal Housing Finance Agency recently placed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into conservatorship, with the United States Treasury to purchase up to $100 billion of senior preferred stock in each company as needed for such entities to maintain a positive net worth.

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 48 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 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 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. Nonresidents of the tri-state area held approximately 1.8% of Parkvale’s deposits at June 30, 2008.

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.

The decrease in the outstanding balance from $211.7 million at June 30, 2007 to $191.4 million at June 30, 2008 is due to the maturity of $20.0 million in advances in fiscal 2008.
 
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.
 
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. ASTI was dissolved in fiscal 2008 upon the repayment of all obligations on December 26, 2007. 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 these 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, 2008, 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 through 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. From 1997

until 2002, PVFS operated as a subprime lending subsidiary by extending consumer loans to individuals who may otherwise not be able to obtain funds based on their unfavorable or nonexistent credit history. PVFS has not originated loans for the past five fiscal years. At June 30, 2008, PVFS had net assets of $1.7 million, which included $596,000 in cash and $1.0 million of loans outstanding. Renaissance completes collateral evaluations for consumer lending activities for the Bank. The sole asset of Renaissance at June 30, 2008 is $149,000 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 community banks, 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 community banks, 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. 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 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, 2008, Parkvale and its subsidiaries had 391 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 February 8, 2006 deposit reform legislation. This 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.
 
  •  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%).
 
  •  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.
 
The Bank received a credit of $1.5 million in June 2007 that has been utilized throughout fiscal 2008 to offset new FDIC premiums by $758,000. The credit balance of $746,000 at June 30, 2008 is expected to offset approximately $721,000 of premiums otherwise due to the FDIC for fiscal 2009 expense. The remaining credit estimated at $25,000 is expected to offset expense in the September 2009 quarter. Upon full utilization of the FDIC credit, FDIC insurance is expected to increase by $180,000 per quarter or $720,000 annually.
 
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, 2008, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, with Tier I and total capital ratios of 5.49% and 10.59%, respectively.


18


 

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 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. Criminal penalties are increased to


19


 

$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;
 
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 that affect Parkvale are for the Form 10-K, filing deadline is 75 days or September 13 or the next business day and for the Form 10-Q, quarterly report filing deadline is 40 days, i.e. November 9 or the next business day for the first quarter.

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 $14.7 million investment in stock of the FHLB of Pittsburgh at June 30, 2008 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, investments 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, 2008, the Bank had $191.4 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 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.
 
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 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 which management believes are material for the 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
 
  •  changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies
 
The market price of our common stock has declined recently.
 
Consistent with the recent decline in stock prices generally, particularly for the stocks of financial institutions, the market price of the Parkvale common stock decreased from $29.71 per share at June 30, 2007 to $23.61 per share at June 30, 2008, and has further declined to $22.35 per share as of August 27, 2008. See the performance graph in Item 5 of this document comparing the total return performance of Parkvale common stock to certain indexes.

There are increased risks involved with commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer lending activities.
 
Our lending activities include loans secured by commercial real estate and commercial business and consumer loans. We have increased our emphasis on originating commercial business and consumer loans in recent years, as well as commercial real estate loans to a lesser extent. We originated $137.7 million of these loans in fiscal 2008, representing 69.6% of total loan originations and 47.7% of total originations and loan purchases in fiscal 2008. In fiscal 2007, we originated $100.6 million of these loans, representing 62.6% of total loan originations and 33.1% of total originations and loan purchases in fiscal 2007. Commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans represent 27.7% of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2008. Commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans are generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than single-family residential lending due to a variety of factors. As a result of the larger loan balances typically involved with commercial real estate and commercial business loans, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. At June 30, 2008, the outstanding balances of our largest single commercial real estate loan and commercial business loan were $6.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. While we have not had significant charge-offs of commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans in recent years, if one of these large loans were to become non-performing, it could have a significant impact on our results of operations. Consumer loans also involve greater risks than single-family residential loans, as it is more difficult to recover collateral on those loans that are secured and certain consumer loans are unsecured. In addition, the recent increases in the originations of commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans mean that our portfolio of these loans is significantly weighted with loans which are not well seasoned and are generally perceived to be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions than older loans.
 
There are increased risks associated with our interest only loans.
 
At June 30, 2008, our loan portfolio includes $259.1 million of loans that are interest only for the initial years of the loans, representing 14.0% of total assets at that date. The initial interest only years of the loans range from three to five years. These loans have a higher degree of risk than fully amortizing loans, as the original loan balance does not decline during the interest only period of the loan. The risks associated with these loans are increased if housing prices decline after the loan is originated.
 
We will be adversely affected if housing prices continue to decline.
 
A decline in housing prices adversely affects us in several ways. First, we generally limit the loan-to-value ratio to 80% on newly originated residential mortgage loans. A decline in housing prices after the loan is originated results in an increase in the loan-to-value ratio, which increases the risks associated with such loans. Second, borrowers who experience a decline in the market value of their house, particularly a decline below their outstanding mortgage balance, are more likely to be delinquent in their loan payments and to experience a foreclosure on their mortgage. Third, a decline in housing prices generally leads to higher foreclosure rates, and the value of the properties we receive may be less than the outstanding mortgage balance. Fourth, the value of the mortgage-backed securities held by us, which are secured by residential properties, is likely to decline. At June 30, 2008, we held $198.4 million of mortgage-backed securities, representing 10.7% of our total assets. Fifth, our consumer loan portfolio includes home equity lines of credit up to 120% of collateral value at a competitive introductory rate, and the risks associated with these loans will increase if housing prices continue to decline. Sixth, a decline in housing prices is likely to lead to increased provisions for loan losses, which would adversely affect our net income.
 
Our allowance for loans losses may not be adequate to cover probable losses.
 
We have established an allowance for loan losses based upon various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, which we believe is adequate to offset probable losses on our existing loans. While we are not aware of any specific factors indicating a deficiency in the amount of our allowance for loan losses, in light of the current economic slowdown, the increased number of foreclosures and lower real estate values, one of the most pressing current issues faced by financial institutions is the adequacy of their allowance for loan


23


 

losses. Federal bank regulators have increased their scrutiny of the level of the allowance for losses maintained by regulated institutions. Many banks and other lenders are reporting significantly higher provisions to their allowance for loan losses, which are materially impacting their earnings. In the event that we have to increase our allowance for loan losses, it would have an adverse effect on our results in future periods. At June 30, 2008, our allowance for loan losses amounted to $15.2 million, while our total loan portfolio was $1.2 billion at such date.
 
Our business is geographically concentrated in the greater Pittsburgh and tri state area, which makes us vulnerable to downturns in the local economy.
 
The majority of our loans are to individuals and businesses located generally in the greater Pittsburgh and tri state area, consisting of southwestern Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and northern West Virginia. Regional economic conditions affect the demand for our products and services as well as the ability of our customers to repay loans. While economic conditions in our primary market area have been relatively good in recent periods, the concentration of our business operations makes us vulnerable to downturns in the local economy. Declines in local real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral for the loans we make.
 
Interest rate volatility could harm our 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. Interest rates are beyond our control and 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, which would adversely affect our interest rate spread and net interest income. Changes in interest rates also can affect the value of our interest-earning assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets, our ability to obtain and retain deposits in competition with other available investment alternatives, and the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans.
 
The fair value of our investment securities held to maturity is less than the carrying value of such securities.
 
At June 30, 2008, the amortized cost or carrying value of our investment securities held to maturity was $413.0 million, or 22.3% of our total assets. At such date, the fair value of such securities was $383.9 million. Because the declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity securities are currently deemed to be temporary, the investment securities have not been written down to their fair value. The investment securities at June 30, 2008 include trust preferred securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $94.9 million and an aggregate fair value of $72.1 million. As discussed in Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we are closely monitoring our investments in trust preferred securities in light of recent price volatility and recently deferred payments. Continued interest deferrals or price declines could result in a write-down of one or more of the trust preferred investments or of the other investment securities that have a fair value below amortized cost.
 
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 the ability to expand its scope of available financial services to 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.

We face strong competition that may adversely affect our profitability.
 
We are subject to vigorous competition in all aspects and areas of our business from banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies, credit unions and other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies and insurance companies. As of June 30, 2008, we were the 11th largest institution, in terms of assets, with a significant presence in western Pennsylvania. We are significantly smaller than the ten largest depository institutions operating in western Pennsylvania, which had more than 85% of the total deposits in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area at June 30, 2007. The financial resources of these larger competitors may permit them to pay higher interest rates on their deposits and to be more aggressive in new loan originations. Certain of our competitors are larger financial institutions with substantially greater resources, more advanced technological capabilities, higher lending limits, larger branch systems and a wider array of commercial banking services. Competition from both bank and non-bank organizations will continue.
 
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, and the extensive regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors. 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.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The purpose of this discussion is to summarize the financial condition and results of operations of Parkvale Financial Corporation (“PFC”) and provide other information, which is not readily apparent from the consolidated financial statements included in this report. Reference should be made to those statements, the notes thereto and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report for a complete understanding of the following discussion and analysis.
 
INTRODUCTION
 
PFC is a unitary savings and loan holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Its main operating subsidiary is Parkvale 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 BANK
 
General
 
The Bank conducts business in the greater Tri-State area through 48 full-service offices with 41 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, 2008, Parkvale was the ninth 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. Lending activities are funded principally by deposits, loan repayments, and operating earnings.
 
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.
 
Financial Condition
 
Parkvale’s average interest-earning assets decreased $4.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 over fiscal year 2007. The overall reduction in average total assets is primarily related to the repayment of higher cost debt during fiscal 2008 and in the latter part of fiscal 2007. Debt repayments included trust preferred securities of $7.2 million on December 26, 2007, $25 million on March 26, 2007 and $10 million each of FHLB advances in February and June 2008. Average loan balances decreased $19.6 million, while average deposit balances rose $16.1 million in fiscal year 2008.

Asset and Liability Management
 
Parkvale functions as a financial intermediary, and as such, its financial condition should be examined in terms of its ability to manage interest rate risk (“IRR”) and diversify credit risk.
 
Parkvale’s asset and liability management (“ALM”) is driven by the ability to manage the exposure of current and future earnings and capital to fluctuating interest rates. This exposure occurs because the present value of future cash flows, and in many cases the cash flows themselves, change when interest rates change. One of Parkvale’s ALM goals is to minimize this exposure.
 
IRR is measured and analyzed using static interest rate sensitivity gap indicators, net interest income simulations and net present value sensitivity measures. These combined methods enable Parkvale’s management to regularly monitor both the direction and magnitude of potential changes in the pricing relationship between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
 
Interest rate sensitivity gap analysis provides one indicator of potential interest rate risk by comparing interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing at similar intervals. Total assets define the gap ratio as rate-sensitive assets minus rate-sensitive liabilities for a given time period divided by total assets. Parkvale continually monitors gap ratios, and within the IRR framework and in conjunction with net interest income simulations, implements actions to reduce exposure to fluctuating interest rates. Such actions have included maintaining high liquidity, increasing the repricing frequency of the loan portfolio, purchasing adjustable-rate investment securities and lengthening the overall maturities of interest-bearing liabilities. Management believes these ongoing actions minimize Parkvale’s vulnerability to fluctuations in interest rates. The one-year gap ratio shifted from 1.67% at June 30, 2007 to 2.07% as of June 30, 2008, the three-year gap ratio went from 7.53% at June 30, 2007 to -0.92% at June 30, 2008 and the five-year gap ratio was 14.28% at June 30, 2007 versus 8.54% at June 30, 2008. The improvement in the one-year GAP ratio is due to an increase in investments and ARM loans scheduled to reprice or mature within one-year.
 
Gap indicators of IRR are not necessarily consistent with IRR simulation estimates. Parkvale utilizes net interest income simulation estimates under various assumed interest rate environments to more fully capture the details of IRR. Assumptions included in the simulation process include measurement over a probable range of potential interest rate changes, prepayment speeds on amortizing financial instruments, other imbedded options, loan and deposit volumes and rates, nonmaturity deposit assumptions and management’s capital requirements. The estimated impact on projected net interest income in fiscal 2009 assuming an immediate shift in current interest rates, would result in the following percentage changes over fiscal 2008 net interest income: +100 basis points (“bp”), +13.1%; +200 bp, +7.4%; −100 bp, +13.8%; −200 bp, +5.1%. This compares to projected net interest income for fiscal 2008 made at June 30, 2007 of: +100 bp, +1.7%; +200 bp, −10.3%; −100 bp, +9.7%; −200 bp, −4.0%. The fluctuation in projected net interest income between fiscal 2008 and 2007 is reflective of wider net interest margins.

(3) Include investment checking accounts, which are assumed to be immediately rate sensitive, with remaining interest-bearing checking accounts assumed to be rate sensitive at 10% in the first year and 5% per annum thereafter. Noninterest checking accounts are considered core deposits and are included in the 5+ years category.
 
Asset Management.  A primary goal of Parkvale’s asset management is to maintain a high level of liquid assets. Parkvale defines the following as liquid assets: cash, federal funds sold, certain corporate debt maturing in less than one year, U.S. Government and agency obligations maturing in less than one year and short-term bank deposits. The average daily liquidity was 19.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. During fiscal 2008, in addition to maintaining high liquidity, Parkvale’s investment strategy was to purchase investment grade securities rated BBB or higher and single-family adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans to enhance yields and reduce the risk associated with rate volatility.
 
Parkvale’s lending strategy has been designed to shorten the average maturity of its assets and increase the rate sensitivity of the loan portfolio. In fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, 66.4%, 72.3% and 78.2%, respectively, of mortgage loans originated or purchased were adjustable-rate loans. Parkvale has continually emphasized the origination and


31


 

purchase of ARM loans. ARMs totaled $657.5 million or 67.9% of total mortgage loans at June 30, 2008 versus $712.2 million or 69.8% of total mortgage loans at June 30, 2007. To supplement local mortgage originations, Parkvale purchased loans aggregating $87.7 million, $142.9 million and $139.5 million in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, from mortgage bankers and other financial institutions. The loan packages purchased were predominately 3/1 and 5/1 residential ARMs. All of the fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 purchases were residential ARMs that were generally originated at competitive rates that may be considered teaser rates as the rates are projected to increase when the rates contractually reset in future periods. The loans purchased from others are reviewed for underwriting standards that include appraisals, creditworthiness and acceptable ratios of loan to value and debt to income that are calculated at fully indexed rates. The practice of purchasing loans or ARM securities in the secondary market is expected to continue in fiscal 2009 when liquidity exceeds targeted levels. At June 30, 2008, Parkvale had commitments to originate mortgage loans totaling $5.2 million and commercial loans of $8.8 million. Commitments to fund construction loans in process at June 30, 2008 were $10.0 million, which were funded from current liquidity.
 
Parkvale continues to focus on its consumer loan portfolio through new originations. Home equity lines of credit are granted up to 120% of collateral value at competitive rates. In general, these loans have shorter maturities and greater interest rate sensitivity and margins than residential real estate loans. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, consumer loans were $176.9 million and $173.5 million which represented a 2.0% increase and a 4.9% decrease over the balances at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, with fixed-rate second mortgage loans totaling $100.8 million, $98.7 million and $90.6 million of outstanding balances at June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
Investments in mortgage-backed securities and other securities, such as U.S. Government and agency obligations and corporate debt, are purchased to enhance Parkvale’s overall net interest margin and to diversify asset concentration. During fiscal 2008, Parkvale purchased an aggregate of $361.7 million of investment securities classified as held to maturity, compared to $134.8 million of such purchases in fiscal 2007 and $53.0 million in fiscal 2006. Of the amount purchased in fiscal 2008, $283.0 million had adjustable interest rates. Of the adjustable rate securities purchased, 52% are tied to one-year treasury or Libor indices, 16% are tied to six month Libor, 27% are tied to three month Libor and 5% are tied to one month Libor. These adjustable securities were purchased at an average yield of 6.25%. Yields fell as the index rates decreased in the second half of the fiscal year. At June 30, 2008, the combined weighted average yield on adjustable corporate securities and collateralized mortgage obligations was 5.32%. If the interest rate indices were to fall further, net interest income may decrease if the net yield, after discount amortization, on these securities, as well as other liquid assets and ARM loans were to fall faster than liabilities would reprice. Substantially all debt securities are classified as held to maturity and are not available for sale or held for trading.
 
Liability Management.  Deposits are priced according to management’s asset/liability objectives, alternate funding sources and competitive factors. Certificates of deposits maturing after one year as a percent of total deposits were 21.2% at June 30, 2008 and 24.8% at June 30, 2007. The reduced percentage of longer-term certificates is reflective of consumer preference for shorter-terms. Over the past 5 years, Parkvale has made a concentrated effort to increase low cost deposits by attracting new checking customers to our community branch offices. During fiscal 2008, checking accounts increased by 10.0% compared to a 1.0% increase during fiscal 2007. Parkvale’s primary sources of funds are deposits received through its branch network, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). FHLB advances can be used on a short-term basis for liquidity purposes or on a long-term basis to support lending activities.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial institutions, such as Parkvale, generate income primarily through lending and investing activities. The risk of loss from lending and investing activities includes the possibility that losses may occur from the failure of another party to perform according to the terms of the loan or investment agreement. This possibility of loss is known as credit risk.
 
Credit risk is increased when lending and investing activities concentrate a financial institution’s earning assets in a way that exposes the institution to a material loss from any single occurrence or group of related occurrences. Diversifying loans and investments to prevent concentrations of risks is one manner a financial institution can reduce potential losses due to credit risk. Examples of asset concentrations would include, but not be limited to, geographic concentrations, loans or investments of a single type, multiple loans to a single borrower, loans made to a single type of industry and loans of an imprudent size relative to the total capitalization of the institution. For loans purchased and originated, Parkvale has taken steps to reduce exposure to credit risk by emphasizing lower risk single-family mortgage loans, which comprise 68.1% of the gross loan portfolio as of June 30, 2008. The next largest component of the loan portfolio is consumer loans at 15.1%, which generally consists of lower balance second mortgages and home equity loans originated in the greater Pittsburgh area and Ohio Valley region and an auto loan portfolio.
 
Nonperforming Loans and Foreclosed Real Estate
 
Nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estate (“REO”) consisted of the following at June 30:

A weakening of the national and to a lesser extent local housing sector and credit markets has contributed towards an increased level of nonaccrual (delinquent 90 days or more) assets. Nonaccrual single-family mortgage loans at June 30, 2008 consisted of 39 owner occupied homes. As of June 30, 2008, $3.3 million or 55.5% of the $6.0 million of nonaccrual mortgage loans were purchased from others. Management believes the loans are well collateralized as single-family loans are generally originated at a maximum of 80% loan to value or the borrower is otherwise required to purchase private mortgage insurance.
 
Commercial loans delinquent 90 days or more of $5.9 million at June 30, 2008 includes real estate loans of $3.1 million to a residential developer that has experienced very slow sales of spec units, and these loans are in the foreclosure process that was completed on September 2, 2008. An extended unit absorption rate on this multi-phase residential development caused the developer to have financial difficulties that prevented his ability to continue development of this plan. A commercial real estate loan of $756,000 is considered impaired as the primary business operating from this location has closed and foreclosure is in process. The allowance for loan losses was increased during fiscal 2008 to provide for losses on these facilities. A multi-family apartment building loan with a balance of $684,000 is more than 90 days past due and the borrower has declared bankruptcy in response to collection efforts that may result in foreclosure; management believes this facility is well collateralized.
 
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in management’s judgment, the probability of collection of principal and 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, uncollected interest income is not included in earnings for nonaccrual loans. The amount of interest income on nonaccrual loans that has not been recognized in interest income was $426,000 for fiscal 2008 and $193,000 for fiscal 2007. 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.
 
In addition, loans totaling $4.3 million were classified as special mention and $806,000 were classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at June 30, 2008. The special mention loans consist of $1.1 million of commercial loans and $3.1 million of commercial real estate loans. These loans, while current or less than 90 days past due, have exhibited characteristics which warrant special monitoring. Examples of these concerns include irregular payment histories, questionable collateral values, investment properties having cash flows insufficient to service debt, and other financial inadequacies of the borrower. These loans are regularly monitored with efforts being directed towards resolving the underlying concerns while continuing with the performing status classification of such loans.
 
Loans that are 30 to 89 days past due at June 30, 2008 aggregated $11.5 million, including $9.8 million of single-family loans, compared to $8.1 million at June 30, 2007 and $10.8 million at June 30, 2006.
 
In addition, Parkvale has invested in trust preferred securities issued by other companies. At June 30, 2008, trust preferred securities with an aggregate carrying value of $13.0 million had deferred interest payments aggregating $300,000. For a further discussion of the trust preferred securities held by Parkvale, see Note B of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this document.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan loss was $15.2 million at June 30, 2008 and $14.2 million at June 30, 2007 or 1.25% and 1.14% of gross loans at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The allowance increased during fiscal 2008 commensurate with the increase of troubled loans. The adequacy of the allowance for loan loss is determined by management through an evaluation of 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 loan portfolio is monitored by management on a regular basis for potential risks to detect potential credit deterioration in the early stages. Management then establishes reserves in the allowance for loan loss based upon evaluation of the inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan loss is adequate to absorb probable loan losses.

Results of Operations
 
Parkvale Financial Corporation reported net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 of $12.8 million or $2.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.4 million or $2.34 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The $622,000 decrease in fiscal 2008 net income reflects increases of $3.0 million of net security impairment writedowns, $1.5 million in the provision for loan losses and $584,000 in non-interest expense, offset by a decrease of $1.9 million in income tax expense and increases of $1.5 million in net interest income and $1.1 million in other non-interest income.
 
Interest Income
 
Interest income on loans decreased by $333,000 or 0.5% in fiscal 2008. Average loans outstanding in fiscal 2008 were $1.2 billion, representing a decrease of $19.6 million or 1.6%, partially due to a decreased level of loan purchases amounting to $87.7 million during fiscal 2008 compared to $142.9 million in fiscal 2007. Single-family residential loans declined by $31.4 million or 3.7% from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008, and multi-family residential loans declined by $2.7 million or 8.4% over the same period. The lower interest income was mitigated by an increase in the average loan yield, which was 5.87% in fiscal 2007 and 5.94% in fiscal 2008. Interest income on loans increased by $3.9 million or 5.8% from fiscal 2007 to 2006. Commercial real estate loans and consumer loans, which have higher yields than single-family residential loans, increased in fiscal 2008. The average yield on loans increased from 5.60% in fiscal 2006 to 5.87% in fiscal 2007. In fiscal 2007, the trend of higher yields earned relates primarily to ARM loans re-pricing at higher rates based on treasury rates and Libor plus contractual additions.
 
Interest income on investments increased $3.0 million or 15.6% in fiscal 2008. This was the result of an increase in the average yield on investments to 5.36% in fiscal 2008 from 4.66% in fiscal 2007 and by an increase in the average balance of $1.9 million or 0.7% to $409.9 million. The higher yield in fiscal 2008 is reflective of an increase in average corporate debt securities to $105.5 million and the maturity or call of lower yielding agency securities. During fiscal 2008, there was a shift in the investment portfolio from lower yielding U.S. government and agency obligations to higher yielding trust preferred securities and AAA rated collateralized mortgage obligations.


35


 

Of the investment securities held to maturity, $301.6 million matured in fiscal 2008, including $236.7 million of U.S. government and agency obligations with an average yield of 4.56%. Parkvale purchased an aggregate of $361.7 million of investment securities classified as held to maturity during fiscal 2008 with an average yield of 5.97%, compared to $134.8 million of such purchases in fiscal 2007 with an average yield of 6.04%. The purchases in fiscal 2008 included $50.1 million of trust preferred securities with an initial yield of 7.45% and $190.6 million of AAA rated collateralized mortgage obligations with a yield of 6.00%. Interest income on investments increased by $917,000 or 5.1% from fiscal 2006 to 2007. This was the result of the average yield on investments increasing to 4.66% in fiscal 2007 from 3.96% in fiscal 2006 and offset by a $48.7 million or 10.7% decrease in the average balance.
 
Interest income on federal funds sold decreased $2.0 million or 31.9% from fiscal 2007 to 2008. The decrease was attributable primarily to a decrease in the average yield from 5.33% in fiscal 2007 to 3.75% in fiscal 2008, coupled with a decrease in the average federal funds sold balance from $118.6 million in fiscal 2007 to $114.8 million in fiscal 2008. The average balance of federal funds sold increased from $82.2 million in fiscal 2006 to $118.6 million in fiscal 2007 with interest income increasing $2.8 million from fiscal 2006 to 2007. The average yield increased from 4.26% in fiscal 2006 to 5.33% in fiscal 2007.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense on deposits increased $1.7 million or 3.7% from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008. The average deposit balance increased $16.1 million or 1.1% in fiscal 2008 and the average cost increased from 3.11% in fiscal 2007 to 3.19% in fiscal 2008. The average balance of certificate accounts increased by $20.8 million or 2.4% from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008, and the average rate on such accounts increased by five basis points in fiscal 2008. Interest costs increased in fiscal 2008 as maturing time deposits repriced at higher rates due to competition offering a variety of specials to attract funds. Interest expense on deposits increased $8.5 million or 23.1% between fiscal 2006 and 2007. The average cost increased from 2.54% in fiscal 2006 to 3.11% in fiscal 2007, and the average deposit balance increased by $5.4 million or 0.04% from fiscal 2006 to 2007. The average balance of certificate accounts increased by $24.2 million or 2.9% from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008, and the average rate on certificate accounts increased from 3.84% in fiscal 2006 to 4.57% in fiscal 2007.
 
Interest expense on borrowed money decreased by $524,000 or 4.6% in fiscal 2008. This was due to a decrease of $10.9 million in the average balance due to the maturity of FHLB advances. The average cost of borrowings was 4.87% in fiscal 2007 and 4.88% in fiscal 2008. Interest expense on trust preferred securities decreased $2.0 million or 86.5% for fiscal 2008. The average balance decreased $22.1 million or 86.4% and the average cost decreased from 9.20% in fiscal 2007 to 9.10% in fiscal 2008. The lower average balance is attributable to the early extinguishment of $7.2 million of trust preferred securities in December 2007, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $62,000 ($40,000 after taxes) or $0.01 per diluted share in the December 2007 quarter, and of $25.0 million of trust preferred securities in the March 2007 quarter, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $625,000 ($407,000 after taxes) or $0.07 per diluted share. In fiscal 2007, interest expense on borrowed money decreased by $323,000 or 2.7%, primarily due to a $12.4 million or 5.0% decrease in average borrowings. The overall average cost of borrowings increased from 4.76% in fiscal 2006 to 4.87% in fiscal 2007. Interest expense on trust preferred securities decreased $238,000 or 9.2% for fiscal 2007, primarily due to the early extinguishment of $25.0 million of trust preferred securities in the March 2007 quarter.
 
Net Interest Income
 
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans, investments and federal funds sold and interest paid for deposits, borrowings and trust preferred securities. A positive interest rate spread is achieved with interest-earning assets in excess of interest-bearing liabilities, which results in increased net interest income.
 
Net interest income increased $1.5 million or 3.9% from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008. The average interest rate spread increased to 2.24% in fiscal 2008 from 2.11% in fiscal 2007, while average net interest-earning assets decreased $4.6 million or 11.2%. In fiscal 2007, net interest income decreased $209,000 or 0.5%. The average interest rate spread decreased from 2.15% in fiscal 2006 to 2.11% in fiscal 2007, while average net interest-earning assets increased $11.1 million between the two years.


36


 

At June 30, 2008, the weighted average yield on loans, investments and federal funds sold was 5.49%. The average rate payable on liabilities was 2.80% for deposits, 4.69% for borrowings and 3.03% for combined deposits and borrowings.
 
Provision for Loan Losses
 
The provision for loan losses is an amount added to the allowance against which loan losses are charged. The provision for loan losses was $2.3 million in fiscal 2008, $828,000 in fiscal 2007, and $736,000 in fiscal 2006. The provision increased by $1.5 million or 181.5% in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007. Aggregate allowances were 1.25% of gross loans as of June 30, 2008 compared to 1.14% at June 30, 2007. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover the amount of probable credit losses in the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2008. Parkvale’s nonperforming assets and allowance for loan losses are discussed earlier in this section. In addition, see “— Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments — Allowance for Loan Losses.”
 
Noninterest Income
 
Total noninterest income decreased by $1.9 million or 18.4% in fiscal 2008. Fee income derived from deposit accounts decreased $23,000, while other fees and service charges on loan accounts increased $201,000. Net gain on the sale (writedown) of securities decreased by $3.0 million. The fiscal 2008 net loss on the writedown of securities of $3.2 million was partially offset by $581,000 of gains on miscellaneous securities. In fiscal 2007, the net gain on sale of securities was $440,000. Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $624,000, while other service charges and fees decreased by $110,000 between fiscal 2007 and 2006.
 
Other income increased $930,000 or 54.5% in fiscal 2008, and increased $117,000 or 7.4% in fiscal 2007. The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance increased by $1.1 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $527,000 in fiscal 2007 due primarily to a $10 million investment made in July 2007. Investment service fee income earned by Parkvale Financial Services investment representatives increased $292,000 to $1.0 million in fiscal 2008 versus $749,000 in fiscal 2007 and $649,000 in fiscal 2006.
 
Noninterest Expense
 
Total noninterest expense increased $584,000 or 2.1% in fiscal 2008 and by $399,000 or 1.4% in fiscal 2007 over fiscal 2006.
 
Compensation and employee benefits increased $1.1 million or 7.2% during fiscal 2008 and $345,000 or 2.3% during fiscal 2007 over the respective prior periods. The FAS 123R expense recognized for stock option grants was $272,000 in fiscal 2008 compared to $80,000 in fiscal 2007. Compensation and benefits during fiscal 2008 include normal merit pay and benefits increases along with additional staff increases of a Chief Lending Officer, Parkvale Settlement Services title insurance personnel and the opening of our 48th branch office in Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania in November 2007.
 
Office occupancy expense decreased $246,000 or 5.1% in fiscal 2008 and decreased $213,000 or 4.3% in fiscal 2007 over the respective prior periods. The 2008 decrease is due to lower levels of depreciation, which was partly offset by the costs of opening the Pleasant Hills branch office in November 2007. The 2007 decrease is primarily due to the purchase of the headquarters building in January 2006 reducing overall occupancy costs and mitigated somewhat by the opening of the 47th branch office.
 
Marketing expenses increased $72,000 or 14.3% in fiscal 2008 and decreased $54,000 or 9.7% in fiscal 2007. The fiscal 2008 increase is attributable to the opening of the Pleasant Hills office in November 2007 and promotions to increase the awareness of newer offices.
 
Deposits at the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) through the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”). FDIC insurance expense was $167,000, $178,000 and $191,000 relating to savings deposit premiums averaging 1.16 basis points during fiscal 2008, 1.25 basis points during fiscal 2007, and 1.32 basis points during fiscal 2006, respectively. The Financing Corporation (“FICO”) assessment is the total expense in the last three fiscal years and the FDIC has slowly decreased the rate charged on a quarterly basis. The FDIC insurance premium is expected to increase for fiscal 2009 by $80,000, due to a change in assessed premiums as 10% of a credit


37


 

permitted by the FDIC is payable in cash beginning with expense recognition for the September 2008 quarter. See “Regulation — Insurance and Regulatory Structure” section in Item 1 of this report.
 
Other expense increased by $254,000 or 5.3% in fiscal 2008 primarily due to data processing expense related to enhancements to products and services, primarily for image processing of check deposits. The amortization expense of core deposit intangibles was $909,000 in fiscal 2008 versus $928,000 in fiscal 2007 and $955,000 in fiscal 2006. Miscellaneous expense decreased by $299,000 or 5.9% in fiscal 2007.
 
Income Taxes
 
Federal and state income tax expense decreased by $1.9 million or 28.8% in fiscal 2008 due to a decline in the effective tax rate and a 12.5% decrease in pre-tax income. Federal and state income tax expense increased by $130,000 or 2.1% in fiscal 2007 due to a 1.2% increase in pre-tax income and a slight increase in the effective tax rate from fiscal 2006. In each of the last three fiscal years, the effective tax rate has been lower than the statutory rate of 35% as a result of the benefits of certain investments made by the Company and its subsidiaries. As discussed in Note H of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 was 26.5%, 32.5% and 32.2%, respectively.
 
Commitments
 
At June 30, 2008, Parkvale was committed under various agreements to originate fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans aggregating $3.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, at rates ranging from 5.539% to 7.75% for fixed rate and 5.296% to 5.999% for adjustable rate loans, and had $81.7 million of unused consumer lines of credit and $19.9 million in unused commercial lines of credit. Parkvale was committed to fund commercial development loans in process of $10.4 million and residential loans in process of $10.0 million. Parkvale was also committed to originate commercial loans totaling $8.8 million at June 30, 2008. Outstanding letters of credit totaled $9.3 million at June 30, 2008.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Liquidity risk represents the inability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers, as well as the obligations to depositors and debt holders. Parkvale uses its asset/liability management policy and contingency funding plan to control and manage liquidity risk.
 
Federal funds sold decreased $28 million or 24.6% from $114 million at June 30, 2007 to $86 million at June 30, 2008. Loan balances decreased $32.7 million or 2.7%, investments held to maturity increased $63.7 million or 18.2% and cash and non interest-earning balances decreased $12.6 million or 40.2%. The increase in total assets was due to increased deposit balances of $24.6 million or 1.7%, offset by the redemption of trust preferred securities of $7.2 million and by decreased advances of $20.2 million or 9.6%. Parkvale’s FHLB advance available maximum borrowing capacity exceeds $671 million. If Parkvale were to experience a deposit run off in excess of available cash resources and cash equivalents, available FHLB borrowing capacity could be utilized to fund a decrease in deposits.
 
Trust preferred securities of $7.2 million at 8.45% were repaid on December 26, 2007. The early extinguishment of $7.2 million of trust preferred securities resulted in a pre-tax charge of $62,000 ($40,000 after taxes) or $0.01 per diluted share in the December 2007 quarter.
 
Shareholders’ equity increased $2.0 million or 1.5% at June 30, 2008 compared to June 30, 2007. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income was $(2.2) million at June 30, 2008. Dividends declared in fiscal 2008 were $4.8 million (equal to $0.88 per share), representing 37.7% of net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Treasury stock purchased in fiscal 2008 was $4.9 million, which was partially deployed for funding stock options and benefit plans totaling $1.0 million. The book value of Parkvale’s common stock increased 3.9% to $24.01 at June 30, 2008 from $23.10 at June 30, 2007 due to the net increase in shareholders’ equity.
 
At June 30, 2008, the Bank held $2.8 million of preferred stock in Freddie Mac. Since such stock is accounted for as available for sale, unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as a net amount under “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.” The Federal Housing Finance Agency recently placed Freddie Mac into


38


 

conservatorship, with the United States Treasury to purchase up to $100 billion of senior preferred stock in Freddie Mac as needed for such entity to maintain a positive net worth. The closing market value of the Bank’s investment in the preferred stock of Freddie Mac on September 8, 2008, the first business day following the conservatorship, was approximately $278,000. The decline in the fair value of such investment will be included in the unrealized loss reported at September 30, 2008. In addition, the net unrealized losses are treated as a reduction of the Bank’s regulatory capital.
 
The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of PFC. The Bank’s primary regulators are the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. The Office of Thrift Supervision retains jurisdiction over Parkvale Financial Corporation due to its status as a unitary savings and loan holding company. The Bank continues to maintain a “well capitalized” status, sustaining a 5.49% Tier 1 capital level as of June 30, 2008 compared to 5.80% Tier 1 capital level at June 30, 2007. Adequate capitalization allows Parkvale to continue building shareholder value through traditionally conservative operations and potentially profitable growth opportunities. Management is not aware of any trends, events, uncertainties or recommendations by any regulatory authority that will have, or that are reasonably likely to have, material adverse effects on Parkvale’s liquidity, capital resources or operations. However, if additional provisions for loan losses or write-downs of investment securities become material in a weak economy, our net income and capital ratios would be adversely affected.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments
 
Parkvale’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based upon the application of certain accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Significant Accounting Policies. Certain policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect Parkvale’s reported results and financial position in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on Parkvale’s future financial condition and results of operations.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is increased with provisions to decrease income and decreased by net charge-offs. The Bank’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, trends within Parkvale’s market area and other relevant factors.
 
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 for impairment.
 
An 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 and prevailing market conditions. Because evaluating potential losses involves a high degree of management judgment, a margin is included for the imprecision inherent in making these estimates. While management believes that the allowance is adequate to absorb estimated credit losses in its existing loan portfolio, future adjustments may be necessary if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
 
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2008 includes $11.4 million or 74.5% of the allowance allocated to loans that are not mortgages secured by single-family homes. The ability of Bank customers to repay commercial or consumer loans is dependent upon the success of their business, continuing income and general economic conditions. Historically, the risk of loss is higher on such loans than single-family loans, which has incurred fewer losses as the collateral value generally exceeds the loan amounts in the event of foreclosure.
 
Investment Securities Available for Sale.  Equity securities classified as available for sale are valued at market prices at the balance sheet date. If certain investments are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, writedowns are recognized as losses in the statement of operations.
 
Investment Securities Held to Maturity.  Securities for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity securities below their amortized cost that are other than temporary result in writedowns of the individual securities


39


 

to their estimated fair value. Such writedowns are included in earnings as realized losses. Regular quarterly reviews of investment ratings and publicly available information are conducted by management and reviewed by the Audit-Finance committee and/or the Board of Directors. A listing of securities with ratings below investment grade are monitored and evaluated for possible writedown. There were no writedowns in fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
Foreclosed Real Estate.  Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of the property less cost to sell. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and a valuation allowance is established for declines in the fair value less cost to sell below the property’s carrying amount. Revenues, expenses and changes in the valuation allowance are included in the statement of operations. Gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in earnings as realized. Foreclosed real estate at June 30, 2008 included $306,600 of commercial property.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  FAS No. 141, Accounting for Business Combinations is the standard of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. FAS No. 141 mandated use of the purchase method and eliminated the use of the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business combinations. FAS No. 141 also provided criteria to determine whether an acquired intangible should be recognized separately from goodwill. FAS No. 142, Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the non-amortization and impairment assessment of goodwill. At June 30, 2008, Parkvale has $4.7 million of core deposit intangible assets subject to amortization and $25.6 million in goodwill, which is not subject to periodic amortization. Parkvale determined the amount of identifiable intangible assets based upon independent core deposit analyses.
 
Goodwill arising from business acquisitions represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible elements in the business acquired. Parkvale’s goodwill relates to value inherent in the banking business, and the value is dependent upon Parkvale’s ability to provide quality, cost effective services in the face of competition from other market participants on a regional basis. This ability relies upon continuing investments in processing systems, the development of value-added service features, and the ease of use of Parkvale’s services. As such, goodwill value is supported ultimately by revenue, which is driven by the volume of business transacted. A decline in earnings as a result of a lack of growth or the inability to deliver cost effective services over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill, which could result in a charge and adversely impact earnings in future periods.
 
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services as measured by the consumer price index.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
The statements in this Annual Report that are not historical fact are forward looking statements. Forward-looking information should not be construed as guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ from expectations contained in such forward looking information as a result of factors including, but not limited to, the interest rate environment, economic policy or conditions, federal and state banking and tax regulations and competitive factors in the marketplace. Each of these factors could affect estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and risks considered in the development of forward looking information and could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations regarding future performance.

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 deposits and borrowings, as well as the relative amounts of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
 
The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by old volume), (2) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate), and (3) changes in rate-volume (change in rate multiplied by the change in volume).

Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Parkvale Financial Corporation:
 
We have audited the consolidated statements of financial condition of Parkvale Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parkvale Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Parkvale Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated September 4, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note A — Significant Accounting Policies
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parkvale Financial Corporation (“PFC”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Parkvale Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. PFC and the Bank are collectively referred to as “Parkvale”. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Business
 
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 tri-state area, which comprises its primary market area. Parkvale is subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by certain regulatory authorities.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Income on loans and investments is recognized as earned on the accrual method. Service charges and fees on loans and deposit accounts are recognized at the time the customer account is charged.
 
Operating Segments
 
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities, which generates revenue and incurs expense with the operating results reviewed by management. Parkvale’s business activities are currently confined to one operating segment, which is community banking.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Noninterest-Earning Deposits
 
The Bank is required to maintain cash and reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve calculation is currently 0% of the first $9,300 of checking deposits, 3% of the next $34,600 of checking deposits and 10% of total checking deposits over $43,900. These required reserves, net of allowable credits, amounted to $5,397 at June 30, 2008.
 
Investment Securities Available for Sale
 
Investment securities available for sale consist primarily of equity securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary will result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Any related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. The FHLB of Pittsburgh stock is a restricted equity security that does not have a readily determinable fair value. The FHLB requires member institutions to maintain a minimum level of stock ownership based on a percentage of residential mortgages, subject to periodic redemption at


48


 

 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
par if the stock owned is over the minimum requirement. As such, FHLB stock is recorded at cost with no unrealized gains or losses as an investment available for sale. No securities have been classified as trading.
 
Investment Securities Held to Maturity
 
Securities for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity securities below amortized cost that are other than temporary will result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Any related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses.
 
Loans
 
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct origination costs have been deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan, adjusted for anticipated loan prepayments. Discounts and premiums on purchased residential real estate loans are amortized to income using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments.
 
Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of principal and interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual. All loans which are 90 or more days delinquent are treated as nonaccrual loans. 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. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest ultimately collected is credited to income in the period of recovery.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The Bank’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, trends within Parkvale’s market area and other relevant factors.
 
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 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 loss allowances are established on impaired loans when necessary.
 
An 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 and prevailing market conditions. Because evaluating potential losses involves a high degree of management judgment, a margin is included for the imprecision inherent in making these estimates. While management believes that the allowance is adequate to absorb estimated credit losses in its existing loan portfolio, future adjustments may be necessary in circumstances that differ substantially from the assumptions used in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

Earnings per Share
 
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three years ended June 30:

Diluted
  $ 2.31     $ 2.34     $ 2.33  
 
Office Property and Equipment
 
Office property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the various classes of assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the leasehold.
 
Foreclosed Real Estate
 
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of the property less cost to sell. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations, and a valuation allowance is established for any declines in the fair value less cost to sell below the property’s carrying amount. Revenues, expenses and changes in the valuation allowance are included in the statement of operations. Gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in earnings as realized. Loans transferred to foreclosed real estate during fiscal 2008 were $3,005 and in 2007 and 2006 were $2,945 and $2,154, respectively. The foreclosures in the last three years were primarily due to loans on single-family dwellings foreclosed throughout the year.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued No. 123R, a revised Statement, Share-Based Payment Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and APB No. 95, previously issued on March 31, 2004, that addressed the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise and (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Under Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No. 123R, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options, are treated the same as other forms of compensation by recognition of the related cost in the income statement. The expense of the award is generally measured at fair value at the grant date. This statement requires the use of fair value recognition principles. This statement did not have a significant impact on Parkvale’s results of operations, which became effective for Parkvale on July 1, 2005. At June 30, 2008, Parkvale has 55,667 option shares that are not vested.
 
The fair value for option grants was estimated at the date of the grants using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Statement of Cash Flows
 
For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and noninterest-earning deposits and federal funds sold. Additionally, allocation of treasury stock to benefit plans includes exercise of stock options and allocation to the employee stock ownership plan.
 
Treasury Stock
 
The purchase of PFC common stock is recorded at cost. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock on the average cost basis, with any excess proceeds being credited to additional paid-in capital.
 
The repurchase program approved on June 19, 2007 expired on June 30, 2008. During fiscal 2008, this program repurchased 172,419 shares at an average price of $28.71, representing 3.1% of the outstanding stock. A new repurchase program was approved on June 19, 2008 permitting the purchase of 5% of outstanding stock, or 274,000 shares, to be repurchased periodically through fiscal year 2009 at prevailing market prices in open-market transactions.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
FAS No. 142, Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, defines goodwill as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions accounted for as a purchase, and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed annually, requiring a two-step process, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Parkvale applied the non-amortization provisions of FAS No. 142 to goodwill recorded on December 31, 2004 as a result of the acquisition of Advance Financial Bancorp (“AFB”). AFB core deposit intangibles valued at $4,600 at acquisition represented 4.7% of core deposit accounts, and the premium is being amortized over the average life of 8.94 years. Resulting goodwill of $18,100 is not subject to periodic amortization. Core deposit intangible amortization expense for AFB acquired on December 31, 2004 and for Second National Bank of Masontown (“SNB”) acquired on January 31, 2002 was $517 and $392 in fiscal 2008, respectively. Amortization over the next five years is expected to aggregate $2,586 and $1,894 for AFB and SNB, respectively. Goodwill and amortizing core deposit intangibles aggregating $27,600 are not deductible for federal income tax purposes.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. FAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The adoption has not had a material impact on Parkvale’s financial statements, as Parkvale has not held any instruments that are subject to FAS 133 accounting.
 
Income Tax
 
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on July 1, 2007. The adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48 did not have a material effect on the financial statements and, accordingly, no unrecognized tax benefits were recorded as of June 30, 2008. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, the Company recognized neither interest nor penalties. The Company has not recorded an accrual for the payment of interest and penalties at June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
PFC’s income tax returns for calendar 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 have been filed with the IRS and are open to examination. However, the IRS has not advised PFC if an examination will be performed. All income tax returns for calendar 2003 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.
 
Recent Accounting Standards
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for Parkvale on July 1, 2008. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment to FAS No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. Parkvale has made a decision not to early adopt this statement and is evaluating the effects of this statement on its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations. This statement replaces FAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply the revised statement before that date. Management is evaluating the effects of this statement.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. This statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interesting in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidates a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. The Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Management is evaluating the effects of this Statement on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 06-4 “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” requires employers that enter into


52


 

 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide an employee with a postretirement benefit to recognize a liability for the future benefits promised based on the substantive agreement made with the employee. Whether the accrual is based on a death benefit or on the future cost of maintaining the insurance would depend on what the employer has effectively agreed to provide during the employee’s retirement. The purchase of an endorsement-type life insurance policy does not qualify as a settlement of the liability. The consensus in EITF Issue 06-4 is effective for Parkvale on July 1, 2008. Parkvale is evaluating the effects of this EITF on its consolidated financial statements.
 
EITF Issue 06-5 “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance — Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4,” provides guidance which requires policyholders to consider other amounts included in the contractual terms of an insurance policy, in addition to cash surrender value, for purposes of determining the amount that could be realized under the terms of the insurance contract. If it is probable that contractual terms would limit the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract, those contractual limitations should be considered when determining the realizable amounts. The amount that could be realized under the insurance contract should be determined on an individual policy (or certificate) level and should include any amount realized on the assumed surrender of the last individual policy or certificate in a group policy. The consensus in EITF Issue 06-5 was effective for Parkvale on July 1, 2007. The adoption of this EITF has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
In EITF Issue 06-10 “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” the Task Force reached a consensus on Issue 06-4 that for an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with FAS Statement 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists) or Opinion 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive agreement with the employee. The consensus in this Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This EITF is not expected to affect Parkvale on July 1, 2008 as such life insurance arrangements do not exist at this time.
 
EITF Issue 06-11 “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards,” applies to share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified nonvested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified nonvested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under FAS Statement 123(R) and result in an income tax deduction for the employer. Parkvale is evaluating the effects of this EITF on its consolidated financial statements, which is effective for Parkvale on July 1, 2008. Through June 30, 2008, Parkvale has only paid dividends on outstanding shares.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (SFAS No. 162). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The statement is not expected to result in a change in current practice nor have a material impact on the Company.
 
In April 2008, the FASB posted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, (FSP FAS 142-3). This statement amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of the FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows, particularly as used to measure fair value in business combinations. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Mortgage-backed securities and CMOs are not due at a single maturity date; periodic payments are received on the securities based on the payment patterns of the underlying collateral. Investment securities with an estimated fair value of $18,816 and $20,750 were pledged to secure public deposits and other purposes as required by law at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Investment securities with an estimated fair value of $25,915 and $22,579 were pledged to secure commercial investment agreements at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Parkvale’s corporate debt securities maturing after 10 years in the preceding tables consist solely of investments in trust preferred securities. At June 30, 2008, these securities represent investments in 20 different trust preferred pooled offerings with an aggregate book value of $85,200, of which $83,600 had floating rates based on LIBOR at June 30, 2008. No single company represents more than 5% of any individual pooled offering. However, certain companies are in more than one pool and we are closely monitoring these situations. In addition to the pooled offerings, Parkvale had investments in trust preferred securities issued by six different banks with an aggregate book value of $9,800, of which $6,100 had floating interest rates at June 30, 2008. All of these investments are held to maturity.
 
The following table represents gross unrealized losses and fair value of investments aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2008:

During fiscal 2008, certain equity investments considered to be other than temporarily impaired were written down to fair value with a charge to earnings of $3,155. The remaining investments in debt and equity securities have not been significantly impaired. The unrealized losses on the remaining investments are primarily the result of volatility in interest rates, changes in spreads over treasuries and certain investments falling out of favor with investors due to illiquidity in the financial markets since August 2007. The corporate debt securities have been valued using financial models as a current market did not exist at June 30, 2008 to provide reliable market quotes. Based on the credit-worthiness of the issuers, management determined that the remaining investments in debt and equity securities were not other-than temporarily impaired.
 
During the June 2008 quarter, interest payments for three of the pooled offerings were deferred, with these three pooled offerings having an aggregate carrying value of $13,000 and with the deferred payments aggregating $300. The deferred payments were not included in interest income. All of the pooled trust preferred investments have an investment grade rating with an average rating of A, except one pooled offering of $5,000, which deferred the interest payment, was recently downgraded to BB. Based on a cash flow analysis and the current investment ratings of the securities, and because Parkvale has the ability and intent to hold the investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, Parkvale does not consider these assets to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2008. However, continued interest deferrals or price declines could result in a writedown of one or more of the trust preferred investments.
 
Parkvale is closely monitoring investments in trust preferred securities in light of recent price volatility in the market place. Due to dislocations in the credit markets broadly, and the lack of both trading and new issuance in

pooled trust preferred securities, market price indications generally reflect the lack of liquidity in the market rather than credit concerns. Prices on trust preferred securities were calculated using a spread model based on their current credit ratings.

The loan portfolio is reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure Parkvale’s allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential losses due to inherent risk in the portfolio.
 
At June 30, 2008, Parkvale was committed under various agreements to originate fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans aggregating $3,539 and $1,658, respectively, at rates ranging from 5.539% to 7.75% for fixed rate and 5.296% to 5.999% for adjustable rate loans, and had $81,728 of unused consumer lines of credit and $19,890 in unused commercial lines of credit. Unused credit card lines of credit were $3,214. Parkvale was also committed to originate commercial loans totaling $8,788 at June 30, 2008. Parkvale was committed to fund commercial development loans in process of $10,385 and residential loans in process of $10,010. Outstanding letters of credit totaled $9,322. Substantially all commitments are expected to expire within a year.
 
At June 30, Parkvale serviced loans for others as follows: 2008 — $53,086, 2007 — $59,137 and 2006 — $66,119.
 
At June 30, 2008, Parkvale’s loan portfolio consisted primarily of residential real estate loans collateralized by single and multifamily residences, nonresidential real estate loans secured by industrial and retail properties and consumer loans including lines of credit.
 
Parkvale has geographically diversified its mortgage loan portfolio, having loans outstanding in 48 states and the District of Columbia. Parkvale’s highest concentrations are in the following states/area along with their respective share of the outstanding mortgage loan balance: Pennsylvania −31.9%; Ohio −14.8%; and West Virginia −9.0%. The ability of debtors to honor these contracts depends largely on economic conditions affecting the Pittsburgh, Columbus and Stuebenville, Ohio metropolitan areas, with repayment risk dependent on the cash

flow of the individual debtors. Substantially all mortgage loans are secured by real property with a loan amount of generally no more than 80% of the appraised value at the time of origination. Mortgage loans in excess of 80% of appraised value generally require private mortgage insurance.
 
For the years ended June 30, the amount of interest income of nonaccrual loans that had not been recognized in interest income was $426 for 2008, $193 for 2007 and $135 in 2006. There were $1,146 of loans considered impaired at June 30, 2008 and $191 at June 30, 2007. Impaired loans are reported net of allowances of $0 at June 30, 2008 and 2007. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $969 during fiscal 2008 and $229 during fiscal 2007.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
Trust preferred securities are $0 at June 30, 2008 and were $7,200 at June 30, 2007 with a rate of 8.61%. The decrease is attributable to the early extinguishment of $7,200 of trust preferred securities on December 26, 2007 resulting in a one-time pre-tax charge of $62 ($40 after taxes) or $0.01 per diluted share.
 
Additionally, other debt consists of recourse loans, repurchase agreements and commercial investment agreements with certain commercial checking account customers. These daily borrowings had balances of $21,965 and $13,106 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Note G — Regulatory Capital
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
 
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Parkvale’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets. Management believes, as of June 30, 2008, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized Parkvale Savings Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
 
Parkvale’s actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios compared to minimum levels are as follows:
 
                                                 
                To be well
 
                Capitalized Under

Note O — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
 
FAS 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the determination of fair value for certain of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.
 
Cash and Noninterest-Bearing Deposits:  The carrying amount of cash, which includes noninterest-bearing demand deposits, approximates fair value.
 
Federal Funds Sold:  The carrying amount of overnight federal funds approximates fair value.
 
Interest-Earning Deposits in Other Banks:  The carrying amount of other overnight interest-bearing balances approximates fair value.


66


 

 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
 
Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities:  The fair values of investment securities are obtained from the Wall Street Journal, the Interactive Data Corporation pricing service and various investment brokers for securities not available from public sources. Prices on certain trust preferred securities were calculated using a spread model based on their current credit ratings when market quotes were not available. See Note B for additional information on investment securities.
 
Cash Surrender Value (“CSV”) of Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”):  The carrying amount of the CSV of BOLI approximates fair value.
 
Loans Receivable:  Fair values were estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar credit quality adjusted for standard prepayment assumptions.
 
Deposit Liabilities:  For checking, savings and money market accounts, fair value is the amount payable on demand at June 30. The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank:  Fair value is determined by discounting the advances using current rates of advances with comparable maturities as of the reporting date.
 
Trust Preferred Securities:  Fair Value is determined by discounting the securities using current rates of securities with comparable reset rate and maturities.
 
Commercial Investment Agreements:  The carrying amount of these overnight borrowings approximates fair value.
 
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments:  Fair value for off-balance-sheet instruments (primarily loan commitments) are estimated using internal valuation models and are limited to fees charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. Unused consumer and commercial lines of credit are assumed equal to the outstanding commitment amount due to the variable interest rate attached to these lines of credit.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.  
 
The Corporation’s management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has carried out an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15e and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as the end of such period, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed in reports the Corporation files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
 
There were no significant changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
The management of Parkvale Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
 
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
  •  Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
  •  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of the Company; and
 
  •  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because of declines in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures.
 
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
 
As of June 30, 2008, based on management’s assessment, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
Parente Randolph, LLC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on our assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. See “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” within this report.

Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Parkvale Financial Corporation:
 
We have audited Parkvale Financial Corporation and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Parkvale Financial Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, Parkvale Financial Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial condition of Parkvale Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and our report dated September 4, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.
