F.N.B. CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

September 30, 2005
BUSINESS
     F.N.B. Corporation (the Corporation) is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. The Corporation owns and operates First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNBPA), First National Trust Company, First National Investment Services Company, LLC, F.N.B. Investment Advisors, Inc., First National Insurance Agency, LLC and Regency Finance Company (Regency). The Corporation has full service banking offices located in Pennsylvania and Ohio and consumer finance operations in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements have historically included subsidiaries in which the Corporation has a controlling financial interest. This requirement has been applied to subsidiaries in which the Corporation has a majority voting interest. Investments in companies in which the Corporation controls operating and financing decisions (principally defined as owning a voting or economic interest greater than 50%) are consolidated. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, the Corporation considers a voting rights entity to be a subsidiary and consolidates it if the Corporation has a controlling financial interest in the entity. Variable interest entities are consolidated if the Corporation is exposed to the majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses and/or residual returns (i.e., the Corporation is considered to be the primary beneficiary). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect the Corporation’s financial position and results of operations. In addition, these consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with instructions for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004, as contained in the Corporation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Corporation’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the Corporation’s results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     On January 1, 2004, the Corporation completed the spin-off of its Florida operations into a separate, publicly traded company known as First National Bankshares of Florida, Inc. (Bankshares) and transferred all of its Florida operations to Bankshares. At the same time, the Corporation distributed all of the outstanding stock of Bankshares to the Corporation’s shareholders of record as of December 26, 2003. Shareholders eligible for the distribution received one share of Bankshares common stock for each outstanding share of the Corporation’s common stock they owned. Immediately following the distribution, the Corporation and its subsidiaries did not own any shares of Bankshares common stock and Bankshares became an independent public company. Concurrent with the spin-off of its Florida operations, the Corporation moved its executive offices from Naples, Florida to Hermitage, Pennsylvania on January 1, 2004. No income or loss was recorded from discontinued operations for 2004.

INVESTMENT IN SUN BANCORP, INC.
     Through September 8, 2004, the Corporation accounted for its ownership of the common stock of Sun Bancorp, Inc. under the equity method. Under the equity method, the carrying value of the Corporation’s investment in Sun Bancorp was adjusted for the Corporation’s share of Sun Bancorp’s earnings and reduced by dividends received from Sun Bancorp. On September 9, 2004, the Corporation ceased to have any management control over Sun Bancorp as the Corporation gave up its two seats on the Sun Bancorp Board of Directors. As a result, the Corporation changed its accounting method to cost basis of accounting and moved 56% of its investment in Sun Bancorp to trading securities, in short-term investments on the balance sheet. In conjunction with this transfer, the Corporation recognized a $1.2 million gain due to the market value being higher than book value at the end of the third quarter of 2004. The remaining 44% of the Corporation’s investment in Sun Bancorp was moved from the equity method of accounting to securities available for sale, at the securities carrying value at that date.
     On October 1, 2004, Omega Financial Corporation completed its acquisition of Sun Bancorp, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Sun Bancorp shareholders were entitled to receive either 0.664 shares of Omega Financial common stock for each share of Sun Bancorp common stock or $23.25 in cash for each share held, subject to a pro rata allocation such that 20% of Sun Bancorp common stock shall be paid in cash and 80% shall be in the form of Omega Financial common stock. On October 15, 2004, the Corporation received cash for approximately 56% of the 1,090,122 shares of Sun Bancorp common stock that it owned.
     In conjunction with Omega Financial Corporation’s acquisition of Sun Bancorp, Inc., Omega Financial terminated the servicing agreement that the Corporation had with Sun Bancorp. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Corporation recognized $1.0 million pre-tax, in servicing income in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
     On February 18, 2005, the Corporation completed its acquisition of NSD Bancorp, Inc. (NSD) (Nasdaq: NSDB), a bank holding company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with $503.0 million in assets, $308.9 million in loans and $378.8 million in deposits. The acquisition was a stock transaction valued at approximately $127.5 million. The Corporation issued 5,944,343 shares of its common stock in exchange for 3,302,485 shares of NSD common stock. NSD’s banking subsidiary, NorthSide Bank, was merged into FNBPA. The Corporation recorded $100.5 million in goodwill and $8.4 million in core deposit intangibles as a result of the acquisition of NSD.
     Under the scope of Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer, (refer to New Accounting Standards), the Corporation has determined that certain loans have differences between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected when such loans are acquired as a result of this transaction. The Corporation further expects that these cash flow differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. Generally, loans qualifying under the scope of SOP 03-3 for this transaction were such loans with specific loan loss reserve allocations under Financial Accounting Standards Statement (FAS) 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, certain loans with loan loss reserve allocations under FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and certain additional loans or additional portions of loans deemed by the Corporation to have differences between contractual and expected cash flows, irrespective of NSD’s reserve allocations to such loans. The Corporation reduced loans by $3.3 million as a result of implementing SOP 03-3.
     On April 25, 2005, the Corporation signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire North East Bancorp, Inc. (North East) (Pink Sheets: NEBI), a bank holding company with $68.0 million in assets, headquartered in North East, Pennsylvania, in a stock transaction. More information on this transaction is discussed in the Subsequent Events footnote.
     The Corporation regularly evaluates the potential acquisition of, and holds discussions with, various acquisition candidates and as a general rule the Corporation publicly announces such acquisitions only after a definitive merger agreement has been reached.
INTEREST RATE SWAP
     In February 2005, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap, whereby it will pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a variable rate based on LIBOR. The effective date of the swap will be January 3, 2006. The interest rate swap is designed to convert the variable interest rate to a fixed rate on $125.0 million of debentures. The swap is considered to be highly effective. Accordingly, any change in the swap’s fair value will be recorded in other

comprehensive income, net of tax. The hedged transaction had no ineffectiveness during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     Current accounting guidance permits two alternative methods of accounting for stock-based compensation, the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and the fair value method of FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. FAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, was issued in December 2002. It continues to provide alternative methods of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, it amends disclosure requirements in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Corporation continues to account for its stock-based compensation plans under APB Opinion 25.
     In accordance with FAS 123, the following table shows pro forma net income and earnings per share assuming stock options had been expensed based on the fair value of the options granted along with the significant weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Fair value of options granted
  $ 4.57     $ 4.82     $ 4.57     $ 4.82  
     For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period of five years.
     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The Corporation’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Corporation issued 100,921 and 107,285 restricted shares of common stock, respectively, with fair values of $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, to key

employees and directors of the Corporation under its 2001 Incentive Plan. Under this plan, shares awarded to management are earned, in part, if the Corporation meets or exceeds certain financial performance results when compared to peers. The awards are earned over three- to five-year periods. Under the provisions of APB Opinion 25, based on the performance-related criteria, compensation expense is recorded until the number of shares is fixed. The unamortized expense relating to all restricted stock awards, totaling $2.3 million at September 30, 2005, is reflected as deferred stock compensation in the stockholders’ equity section of the Corporation’s balance sheet. The Corporation has available up to 1,974,755 shares to issue under its 2001 Incentive Plan.
     The Corporation also has available up to 6,043,894 shares to issue under its non-qualified stock option plans to key employees and directors of the Corporation. The options vest in equal installments over five year periods. The options are granted at a price equal to the fair market value at the date of the grant and are exercisable within ten years from the date of the grant. Because the exercise price of the Corporation’s stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in accordance with APB Opinion 25. No shares were issued under these plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 or 2004.
DEBENTURES DUE TO A STATUTORY TRUST
     F.N.B. Statutory Trust I (Statutory Trust), an unconsolidated subsidiary trust, issued $125.0 million of Corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities (capital securities) to fund a bank acquisition. The proceeds from the sale of the capital securities were invested in junior subordinated debt securities of the Corporation (debentures). The Statutory Trust was formed for the sole purpose of issuing the capital securities and investing the proceeds from the sale of such capital securities in the debentures. The debentures held by Statutory Trust are its sole assets. Distributions on the debentures issued by Statutory Trust are recorded as interest expense by the Corporation. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures. The capital securities bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 325 basis points. The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2005 was 6.74%. The Corporation has entered into agreements that, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee the capital securities subject to the terms of each of the guarantees. The debentures qualify as tier 1 capital under the Federal Reserve Board guidelines and are first redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Corporation on or after March 31, 2008.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
     The FASB revised FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, in December 2004. FAS 123R establishes accounting requirements for share-based compensation to employees and carries forward prior guidance on accounting for awards to non-employees. FAS 123R requires an entity to recognize compensation expense based on an estimate of the number of awards expected to actually vest, exclusive of awards expected to be forfeited. The provisions of this statement will become effective January 1, 2006. The Corporation is still evaluating the methodology and impact of FAS 123R on its financial condition and results of operations. For purposes of historical comparison of the compensation expense of options, see the Stock-Based Compensation footnote.
     FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, was issued in January 2003 and amended in December 2003. FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities that have certain characteristics. FIN 46 applied immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. It applied in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after December 15, 2003 to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that was acquired before February 1, 2003. The impact of adopting the revised FIN 46 is described below.
     The Corporation invests in low-income housing projects, primarily through F.N.B. Community Development Corporation, a subsidiary of FNBPA, for the purpose of providing a source of private sector financing for projects to promote economic development, create employment opportunities and contribute to the economic enhancement of the community. Investments principally consist of limited partnership interests in partnerships that own real estate projects. The Corporation accounts for these partnership investments under the equity method of accounting, with a carrying value of $10.1 million at September 30, 2005. The maximum exposure to loss would be limited to the initial capital investment in the limited partnerships. As a limited partner in these projects, the Corporation is allocated tax credits and deductions associated with the underlying projects. The Corporation has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these partnerships and does not consolidate them. In addition, the Corporation determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of F.N.B. Statutory Trust I and does not consolidate it.

     The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer, in December 2003. SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. SOP 03-3 does not apply to loans originated by the entity. The application of SOP 03-3 limits the interest income, including accretion of purchase price discounts, that may be recognized for certain loans. Additionally, SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (non-accretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield or valuation allowance, such as the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to the initial investment, increases in expected cash flows generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustments to the yield on loans over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows, on the other hand, should be recognized as impairment through the allowance for loan losses. The impact of this pronouncement as it relates to the Corporation’s acquisition of NSD is further discussed in the Mergers and Acquisitions footnote.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
     On October 7, 2005, the Corporation completed its acquisition of North East, a bank holding company headquartered in North East, Pennsylvania with $68.0 million in assets, $49.4 million in loans and $61.2 million in deposits. Consideration paid by the Corporation totaled $15.4 million, comprised of 862,611 shares of the Corporation’s common stock and $169,800 in exchange for 145,168 shares of North East common stock. North East’s banking subsidiary, The National Bank of North East, was merged into FNBPA.

     During 2004, the Corporation transferred $519.4 million of securities from available for sale to held to maturity. This transaction resulted in $4.0 million being recorded as other comprehensive income, which is being amortized over the average life of the securities transferred. At September 30, 2005, $2.4 million remained in other comprehensive income. The Corporation initiated this transfer to better reflect management’s intentions and to reduce the volatility of the equity adjustment due to the fluctuation in market prices of available for sale securities.
     Securities are periodically reviewed for impairment based upon a number of factors, including but not limited to, length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost, financial condition of the underlying issuer, ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, the likelihood of the security’s ability to recover any decline in its market value and management’s intent and ability to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in market value. Any impairment loss is recognized when appropriate in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 59, FAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and related guidance.

     In November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 03-1, The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairments, and issued revised guidance in March 2004. The recognition and measurement requirements of EITF 03-1 were effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2004. In September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1, which delayed the effective date for certain measurement and recognition guidance contained in Issue 03-1. In June 2005, the FASB directed its staff to draft FSP FAS 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. FSP 115-1 will codify the guidance set forth in EITF Topic D-44 and clarify that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. FSP FAS 115-1 will be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The FSP requires the application of pre-existing other-than-temporary guidance during the period of delay until a final consensus is reached. The Corporation does not anticipate the issuance of the final consensus will have a material impact on financial condition, the results of operations or liquidity.
     The Corporation does not believe the unrealized losses on securities, individually or in the aggregate, as of September 30, 2005, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. The unrealized losses are primarily the result of changes in interest rates and will not prohibit the Corporation from receiving its contractual principal and interest payments. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been below cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery.

COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT RISK
     The Corporation has commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that involve certain elements of credit risk in excess of the amount stated in the consolidated balance sheet. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the customer is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Consistent credit policies are used by the Corporation for both on- and off-balance sheet items.

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2005     2004  
Commitments to extend credit
  $ 679,904     $ 594,791  
Standby letters of credit
    61,310       62,454  
     At September 30, 2005, funding of approximately 83% of the commitments to extend credit was dependent on the financial condition of the customer. The Corporation has the ability to withdraw such commitments at its discretion. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer, collateral may be deemed necessary. Collateral requirements vary and may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation that may require payment at a future date. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The obligations are not recorded in the Corporation’s financial statements. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event the customer does not satisfy the terms of the agreement equals the notional amount of the obligation less the value of any collateral.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
     Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
     Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming the exercise of stock options. Such adjustments to net income and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding are made only when such adjustments dilute earnings per common share.
     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

     The Corporation’s subsidiaries participate in a qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan under which eligible employees may contribute a percentage of their salary. The Corporation matches 50 percent of an eligible employee’s contribution on the first 6 percent that the employee contributes. Employees are generally eligible to participate upon completing 90 days of service and having attained age 21. Employer contributions become 20 percent vested when an employee has completed one year of service, and vest at a rate of 20 percent per year thereafter. The Corporation’s contribution expense was $1.1 million and $924,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS
     The Corporation operates in four reportable segments: Community Banking, Wealth Management, Insurance and Consumer Finance. The Community Banking segment offers services traditionally offered by full-service commercial banks, including commercial and individual demand and time deposit accounts and commercial, mortgage and individual installment loans. The Wealth Management segment provides a broad range of personal and corporate fiduciary services including the administration of decedent and trust estates. In addition, it offers various alternative products, including securities brokerage and investment advisory services, mutual funds and annuities. The Insurance segment includes a full-service insurance agency offering all lines of commercial and personal insurance through major carriers. The Insurance segment also includes a reinsurer. The Consumer Finance segment is primarily involved in making installment loans to individuals with approximately 11% of its volume being derived from the purchase of installment sales finance contracts from retail merchants. The Consumer Finance segment activity is funded through the sale of subordinated notes at the finance company’s branch offices. The other segment includes the Corporation, other non-bank subsidiaries and eliminations, which are necessary for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts. The following tables provide financial information for these segments of the Corporation (in thousands).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
F.N.B. Corporation
     We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of F.N.B. Corporation and subsidiaries (F.N.B. Corporation) as of September 30, 2005, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of F.N.B. Corporation’s management.
     We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
     We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of F.N.B. Corporation as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated March 11, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PART I.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     Management’s discussion and analysis represents an overview of the results of operations and financial condition of the Corporation. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Certain statements in this quarterly report are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “plan,” “project” or “continue” or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or similar terminology, and are made on the basis of management’s plans and current analyses of the Corporation, its business and the industry as a whole. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic conditions, competition, interest rate sensitivity and exposure to regulatory and legislative changes. The above factors in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, the Corporation’s financial performance and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. The Corporation does not undertake to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     The Corporation’s significant accounting policies as described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Corporation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission remain unchanged.
OVERVIEW
     F.N.B. Corporation is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. The Corporation is a leading provider of Community Banking, Wealth Management, Insurance and Consumer Finance services through its affiliates: First National Bank of Pennsylvania, First National Trust Company, First National Investment Services Company, LLC, F.N.B. Investment Advisors, Inc., First National Insurance Agency, LLC and Regency Finance Company. As of September 30, 2005, the Corporation had 142 full service banking offices in Pennsylvania and Ohio and 54 consumer finance offices in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004
     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $50.5 million or $.90 per diluted share, compared to net income for the same period of 2004 of $46.0 million or $.98 per diluted share. On February 18, 2005, October 8, 2004 and July 30, 2004, the Corporation completed its acquisitions of NSD Bancorp, Inc. (NSD), Slippery Rock Financial Corporation (Slippery Rock) and Morrell, Butz and Junker, Inc.(MBJ), respectively. The operations of these entities have been included in the Corporation’s operations from the date of each acquisition. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 included $656,000 of after-tax merger related expenses due to the acquisition of NSD. The net income for the same period of 2004 included a gain on the sale of branches totaling $2.7 million after-tax and $985,000 after-tax relating to equity income and data processing fees from Sun Bancorp, Inc., which was acquired by Omega Financial Corporation in October 2004. Separately, the Corporation changed its accounting method for Sun Bancorp to cost basis of accounting and moved 56% of its investment to trading securities. In conjunction with this transfer, the Corporation recognized a $780,000 after-tax gain due to the market value being higher than the book value at the end of the third quarter of 2004. See the “Investment in Sun Bancorp” section of this report for additional information. The Corporation’s return on average equity was 15.55%, while its return on average assets was 1.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 25.24% and 1.31% for the same period in 2004, respectively.

Net Interest Income
     Net interest income, which is the Corporation’s major source of revenue, is the difference between interest income from earning assets (loans, securities and federal funds sold) and interest expense paid on liabilities (deposits and short- and long-term borrowings). For the first nine months of 2005, net interest income, which comprised 71.8% of total revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) compared to 68.8% for the same period of 2004, was affected by the general level of interest rates, changes in interest rates, the steepness of the yield curve and the changes in the amount and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
     Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $143.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $127.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. For the first nine months of 2005, average earning assets increased $671.0 million or 15.6% and average interest bearing liabilities increased $592.7 million or 15.7% from the first nine months of 2004 primarily due to the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD. However, the Corporation’s net interest margin decreased by 10 basis points from September 30, 2004 to 3.87% at September 30, 2005 and was impacted by a flattening of the yield curve throughout most of 2004 and the first nine months of 2005. As such, the Corporation experienced less opportunity to earn higher rates on earning assets as compared to the need to increase rates on its deposits and repurchase agreements, driven by market rates and competitive prices. More details on changes in tax equivalent net interest income attributed to changes in earning assets, interest bearing liabilities yields and cost of funds can be found in the preceding table.
     The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in net interest income attributable to changes in the volumes of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and changes in the rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 (in thousands):

(1)   The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based on the net size of the rate and volume changes.
 
(2)   Interest income amounts are reflected on a FTE basis which adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for each period presented. The Corporation believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.
     Interest income of $222.1 million, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the first nine months of 2005 increased by $32.9 million or 17.4% from the same period of 2004. This increase was partially caused by an improvement in yield on earning assets of 9 basis points to 5.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. In addition, average earning assets of $5.0 billion for the first nine months of 2005 grew $671.0 million or 15.6% from the first nine months of 2004 driven by an increase of $258.2 million in investment securities and an increase of $412.3 million in loans. These increases were primarily the result of the Corporation’s acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD.
     Interest expense of $78.4 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased by $16.7 million or 27.0% from the same period in 2004. This variance was partially attributable to an increase of 22 basis points in the Corporation’s cost of funds to 2.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Additionally, interest bearing liabilities

increased $592.7 million or 15.7% to average $4.4 billion for the first nine months of 2005. This growth was primarily attributable to a combined increase of $250.0 million or 15.7% in the core deposit categories of interest bearing demand deposit and savings and customer repurchase agreements, and an increase in time deposits of $232.9 million or 17.7%. These increases were primarily the result of the Corporation’s acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD. In addition, average long-term debt of $695.1 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased $67.1 million or 10.7% from the first nine months of 2004 while average short-term borrowings of $282.6 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased $42.6 million or 17.8%. This trend was the result of the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD as well as the Corporation’s strategy to lengthen funding and lock in borrowings at a time of historically lower interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses
     The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s estimates of the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses needed to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio, after giving consideration to charge-offs and net recoveries for the period.
     The provision for loan losses of $8.5 million for the first nine months of 2005 decreased $3.3 million or 28.3% from the same period of 2004 primarily due to continued improvement in credit quality. Improving trends in the consumer loan portfolio, specifically the indirect installment portfolio, continue to produce lower levels of expected losses. More specifically, for the first nine months of 2005 net charge-offs totaled $12.3 million or .45% (annualized) as a percentage of average loans compared to $11.7 million or .48% (annualized) as a percentage of average loans for the first nine months of 2004. The 2005 results included the charge-off of a $1.5 million loan, or .05% annualized, that was on non-accrual and was previously fully reserved for in the allowance for loan losses. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was .78% at September 30, 2005 compared to .81% at September 30, 2004 and the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was .61% and .65% for these same periods, respectively.
Non-Interest Income
     Total non-interest income of $55.5 million for the first nine months of 2005 decreased $1.4 million or 2.5% from the first nine months of 2004. The first nine months of 2004 included a gain of $4.1 million relating to the sale of branches as well as $2.7 million in income from Sun Bancorp, Inc. The Corporation held an equity investment in Sun Bancorp until it was acquired by Omega Financial Corporation in October 2004. The Corporation also had a contract to provide data processing services to Sun Bancorp, which was terminated upon its acquisition. The Sun Bancorp-related income ceased in the fourth quarter of 2004.
     Service charges on loans and deposits of $29.5 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased $4.3 million or 17.0% from the same period of 2004 primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD.
     Insurance commissions and fees of $10.0 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased $1.8 million or 22.4% from the same period last year primarily as the Corporation expanded its presence in this desirable line of business through the acquisition of MBJ in July of 2004.
     Securities commissions of $3.5 million for the first nine months of 2005 remained constant, however there has been a shift in mix away from annuities to other investment products.
     Trust fees of $5.4 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased slightly as the Corporation undertook efforts to add new accounts in 2005. This combined with the Corporation’s efforts to streamline operations and improve productivity, resulted in a 26.5% increase in net income for the Wealth Management business segment, which includes securities commissions and trust fees. See the Business Segments section of this report for additional information.
     Gain on sale of mortgage loans of $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2005 decreased by $396,000 or 27.4% from the first nine months of 2004 due to lower mortgage originations resulting from higher interest rates and increased competition.
     Other income of $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2005 decreased $3.2 million or 62.6% from the first nine months of 2004. Income from Sun Bancorp included in the first nine months of 2004 accounted for $2.7 million of this decrease. The remaining decrease was primarily attributable to lower gains on sales of fixed assets and repossessed assets.

Non-Interest Expense
     Total non-interest expense of $116.6 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased $12.6 million or 12.1% from the first nine months of 2004. The first nine months of 2005 included $1.0 million in merger expenses associated with the closing of the NSD acquisition. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to additional operating expenses resulting from the acquisitions in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.
     Salaries and employee benefits of $60.3 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased $6.8 million or 12.8% from the same period of 2004. This increase was principally the result of the cost associated with the employees retained from the acquisitions in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, combined with normal compensation and benefit expense increases.
     Combined net occupancy and equipment expense of $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $1.4 million or 8.0% from the combined level for the same period of 2004. The 2005 results include additional costs associated with the acquisitions in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.
     Amortization of intangibles expense of $2.7 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased $1.1 million or 69.1% from the first nine months of 2004. This increase was attributable to customer list intangibles related to the acquisition of MBJ and core deposit intangibles related to the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD.
     Debt extinguishment expense of $1.2 million in 2004 relates to the Corporation’s repayment of $46.0 million in higher cost FHLB advances.
     Other non-interest expenses of $34.3 million for the first nine months of 2005 increased $4.4 million or 14.7% from the first nine months of 2004. Other non-interest expense for the first nine months of 2005 included $800,000 in merger expenses related to the NSD acquisition. The remaining increase was primarily the result of higher expenses due to the acquisitions in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.
Income Taxes
     The Corporation’s income tax expense of $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was at an effective tax rate of 29.5% while the income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was at an effective tax rate of 31.3%. Both years’ tax rates remain lower than the 35% federal statutory tax rate due to the tax benefits resulting from tax exempt instruments and excludable dividend income. The nine months ended September 30, 2005 was also impacted by $1.0 million due to the successful resolution of an uncertain tax position in the current period.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004
     Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was $18.1 million or $.32 per diluted share, compared to net income for the same period of 2004 of $14.7 million or $.31 per diluted share. On February 18, 2005, October 8, 2004 and July 30, 2004, the Corporation completed its acquisitions of NSD, Slippery Rock and MBJ, respectively. The operations of these entities have been included in the Corporation’s operations from the date of each acquisition. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 included $1.0 million due to the successful resolution of an uncertain tax position. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 included $222,000 after-tax relating to equity income and data processing fees from Sun Bancorp, Inc., which was acquired by Omega Financial Corporation in October 2004. Separately, the Corporation changed its accounting method for Sun Bancorp to cost basis of accounting and moved 56% of its investment to trading securities. In conjunction with this transfer, the Corporation recognized a $780,000 after-tax gain due to the market value being higher than the book value at the end of the third quarter of 2004. See the “Investment in Sun Bancorp” section of this report for additional information. The Corporation’s return on average equity was 15.54%, while its return on average assets was 1.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 23.68% and 1.23% for the same period in 2004, respectively.

Net Interest Income
     Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $48.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and $42.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. For the third quarter of 2005, average earning assets increased $712.7 million or 16.3% and average interest bearing liabilities increased $649.3 million or 16.9% from the third quarter of 2004 primarily due to the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD. The Corporation’s net interest margin decreased 11 basis points from September 30, 2004 to 3.77% at September 30, 2005 and was impacted by a flattening of the yield curve throughout most of 2004 and the first nine months of 2005. As such, the Corporation experienced less opportunity to earn higher rates on earning assets as compared to the need to increase rates on its deposits and repurchase agreements, driven by market rates and competitive prices. Changes in tax equivalent net interest income were also impacted by changes in earning assets, interest bearing liabilities yields and cost of funds in the preceding table.
     The following table sets forth certain information regarding changes in net interest income attributable to changes in the volumes of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and changes in the rates for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004 (in thousands):

(1)   The amount of change not solely due to rate or volume changes was allocated between the change due to rate and the change due to volume based on the net size of the rate and volume changes.
 
(2)   Interest income amounts are reflected on a FTE basis which adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for each period presented. The Corporation believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and non-taxable amounts.
     Interest income of $76.8 million, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the third quarter of 2005 increased by $12.3 million or 19.0% from the same period of 2004. This increase was partially caused by an improvement in yield on earning assets of 12 basis points to 6.00% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. In addition, average earning assets of $5.1 billion for the third quarter of 2005 grew $712.7 million or 16.3% from the third quarter of 2004 driven by an increase of $194.9 million in investment securities and an increase of $516.8 million in loans. These increases were primarily the result of the Corporation’s acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD.
     Interest expense of $28.6 million for the third quarter of 2005 increased by $6.7 million or 30.5% from the same period in 2004. This variance was partially attributable to an increase of 26 basis points in the Corporation’s cost of funds to 2.53% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Additionally, interest bearing liabilities increased $649.3 million or 16.9% to average $4.5 billion for the third quarter of 2005. This growth was primarily attributable to a combined increase of $243.1 million or 15.2% in the core deposit categories of interest bearing demand deposit and savings and customer repurchase agreements, and an increase in time deposits of $275.6 million or 20.8%. These increases were primarily the result of the Corporation’s acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD. In addition, average long-term debt of $727.1 million for the third quarter of 2005 increased $35.2 million or 5.1% from the third quarter of 2004 while average short-term borrowings of $311.9 million for the third quarter of 2005 increased $92.4 million or

42.1%. This trend was the result of the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD as well as the Corporation’s strategy to lengthen funding and lock in borrowings at a time of historically lower interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses
     The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s estimates of the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses needed to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio, after giving consideration to charge-offs and net recoveries for the period.
     The provision for loan losses of $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2005 decreased $122,000 or 3.4% from the same period of 2004 primarily due to continued improvement in credit quality. Improving trends in the consumer loan portfolio, specifically the indirect installment portfolio, continue to produce lower levels of expected losses. More specifically, for the third quarter of 2005 net charge-offs totaled $3.4 million or .36% (annualized) as a percentage of average loans compared to $3.5 million or .43% (annualized) as a percentage of average loans for the third quarter of 2004. In addition, non-performing loans to total loans at September 30, 2005 were .78%, down from .81% for September 30, 2004.
Non-Interest Income
     Total non-interest income was of $18.8 million for both the third quarter of 2005 and the third quarter of 2004. The third quarter of 2004 included $1.6 million in income from Sun Bancorp, Inc. The Corporation held an equity investment in Sun Bancorp until it was acquired by Omega Financial Corporation in October 2004. The Corporation also had a contract to provide data processing services to Sun Bancorp, which was terminated upon its acquisition. The Sun Bancorp-related income ceased in the fourth quarter of 2004.
     Service charges on loans and deposits of $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2005 increased $1.9 million or 21.3% from the third quarter of 2004 primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD.
     Insurance commissions and fees of $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2005 decreased slightly from $3.3 million for the same period last year due to changes in product offerings and timing of revenue resulting from changes in customer payment patterns.
     Securities commissions of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2005 declined slightly due to a shift in mix from annuities to other investment products.
     Trust fees of $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2005 increased slightly as the Corporation undertook efforts to add new accounts during 2005. This combined with the Corporation’s efforts to streamline operations and improve productivity, resulted in a 27.7% increase in net income for the Wealth Management business segment, which includes securities commissions and trust fees. See the Business Segments section of this report for additional information.
     Gain on sale of mortgage loans of $442,000 for the third quarter of 2005 increased $77,000 or 21.1% from the third quarter of 2004 due to higher mortgage originations resulting from expected future higher interest rates.
     Other income of $741,000 for the third quarter of 2005 decreased $1.7 million or 69.3% from the third quarter of 2004. Income from Sun Bancorp included in the third quarter of 2004 accounted for $1.6 million of this decrease.
Non-Interest Expense
     Total non-interest expense of $38.0 million for the third quarter of 2005 increased $2.1 million or 5.8% from the third quarter of 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to additional operating expenses resulting from the acquisitions in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.
     Salaries and employee benefits of $19.3 million for the third quarter of 2005 increased $1.2 million or 6.7% from the same period of 2004. This increase was principally the result of the cost associated with the employees retained from the acquisitions in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, combined with normal compensation and benefit expense increases.

Table of Contents

     Combined net occupancy and equipment expense of $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, increased $229,000 or 3.7% from the combined level for the same period of 2004. The 2005 results include additional costs associated with the acquisitions in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.
     Amortization of intangibles expense of $918,000 for the third quarter of 2005 increased $342,000 or 59.4% from the third quarter of 2004. This increase was attributable to customer list intangibles related to the acquisition of MBJ and core deposit intangibles related to the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD.
     Debt extinguishment expense of $1.2 million in 2004 relates to the Corporation’s repayment of $46.0 million in higher cost FHLB advances.
     Other non-interest expenses of $11.4 million for the third quarter of 2005 increased $1.5 million or 15.4% from the third quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily the result of higher operating expenses due to the acquisitions in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.
Income Taxes
     The Corporation’s income tax expense of $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was at an effective tax rate of 26.8% while the income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was at an effective tax rate of 31.3%. The tax rates for both years remain lower than the 35% federal statutory tax rate due to the tax benefits resulting from tax exempt instruments and excludable dividend income. The quarter ended September 30, 2005 was also impacted by $1.0 million due to the successful resolution of an uncertain tax position in the current period.
LIQUIDITY
     The Corporation’s goal in liquidity management is to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers as well as the operating cash needs of the Corporation with cost-effective funding. Liquidity is centrally managed on a daily basis by treasury personnel. In addition, the Corporate Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), which includes members of executive management, reviews liquidity on a periodic basis and approves significant changes in strategies that affect balance sheet or cash flow positions. The Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Policy in order to achieve and maintain earnings performance consistent with long-term goals while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk, a “well-capitalized” balance sheet and appropriate levels of liquidity. The policy designates the ALCO as the body responsible for meeting these objectives.
     Liquidity sources from assets include payments from loans and investments as well as the ability to securitize or sell loans and investment securities. The Corporation continues to originate mortgage loans, most of which are sold in the secondary market. Proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans totaled $73.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $73.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
     Liquidity sources from liabilities are generated primarily through deposits. As of September 30, 2005, deposits comprised 74.9% of total liabilities. To a lesser extent, the Corporation also makes use of wholesale sources that include federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and public funds. In addition, the Corporation has the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank and the capital markets. FHLB advances are a competitively priced and reliable source of funds. As of September 30, 2005, total availability from these sources was $2.0 billion, or 34.5% of total assets while outstanding advances were $614.2 million, or 10.8% of total assets.
     The principal source of cash for the parent company is dividends from its subsidiaries. The parent also has approved lines of credit with several major domestic banks, which were unused as of September 30, 2005. In addition, the Corporation issues subordinated debt on a regular basis.
     The Corporation has repurchased shares of its common stock for re-issuance under various employee benefit plans and the Corporation’s dividend reinvestment plan since 1991. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Corporation purchased 450,300 treasury shares totaling $8.7 million and received $10.8 million upon re-issuance of 545,797 shares. For the same period of 2004, the Corporation purchased 803,844 treasury shares totaling $16.6 million and received $16.3 million as a result of re-issuance of 774,127 shares.

     The ALCO regularly monitors various liquidity ratios and forecasts of cash position. Management believes the Corporation has sufficient liquidity available to meet its normal operating and contingency funding cash needs.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
     The financial performance of the Corporation is at risk from interest rate fluctuations. This interest rate risk arises due to differences between the amount of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities subject to repricing over a period of time, differences in the market indices upon which bank asset and liability ratios are based, the change in the shape of the yield curve and the prepayment and early redemption options embedded in certain financial instruments. The Corporation utilizes an asset/liability model to support its balance sheet strategies. The Corporation uses gap analysis, net interest income simulations and the economic value of equity (EVE) to measure interest rate risk.
     Gap and EVE are static measures that do not incorporate assumptions regarding future business. Gap, while a helpful diagnostic tool, displays repricing and cash flows for only a single rate environment. EVE is the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities. EVE’s long-term horizon helps identify changes in optionality and longer-term positions. However, EVE’s liquidation perspective does not translate into the earnings-based measures that are the focus of managing and valuing a going concern. Net interest income simulations explicitly measure the exposure to earnings from changes in market rates of interest. The Corporation’s current financial position is combined with assumptions regarding future business to calculate net interest income under various hypothetical rate scenarios. The ALCO reviews earnings simulations over multiple years under various interest rate scenarios.
     The following gap analysis compares the difference between the amount of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities subject to repricing over a period of time. The ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities repricing within a one year period was .98 and 1.01 for the current periods of 2005 and 2004, respectively. A ratio of more than one indicates a higher level of repricing assets over repricing liabilities over the next twelve months, while a ratio of less than one indicates a higher level of repricing liabilities over repricing assets over the next twelve months.

     The one month repricing for borrowings includes $125.0 million for trust preferred debt which reprices quarterly. The 4-6 month repricing for borrowings includes an amount of $(125.0) million reflecting a forward starting interest rate swap relating to the trust preferred debt.
     The allocation of non-maturity deposits to the one-month maturity bucket is based on the estimated sensitivity of each product to changes in market rates. For example, if a product’s rate is estimated to increase by 50% as much as the market rates, then 50% of the account balance was placed in this bucket. The current allocation of 35% is representative of the estimated sensitivities for a +/- 100 basis point change in market rates.
     The following table presents an analysis of the potential sensitivity of the Corporation’s annual net interest income and EVE to sudden and parallel changes (shocks) in market rates versus if rates remained unchanged:

     The Corporation’s ALCO is responsible for the identification and management of interest rate risk exposure. As such, the Corporation continuously evaluates strategies to minimize its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. In order to help mitigate the effect of rising interest rates, the ALCO has transacted strategies during 2005 including limiting the length of terms of securities acquired, promoting long-term certificates of deposit, locking long-term wholesale funds through the FHLB and selling fixed-rate mortgages. In addition, during February 2005, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap whereby it will pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a variable rate based on LIBOR. The effective date of the swap will be January 3, 2006 (for additional information, refer to the Interest Rate Swap footnote).
     The Corporation recognizes that asset/liability models are based on methodologies that may have inherent shortcomings. Furthermore, asset/liability models require certain assumptions be made, such as prepayment rates on earning assets and pricing impact on non-maturity deposits, which may differ from actual experience. These business assumptions are based upon the Corporation’s experience, business plans and published industry experience. While management believes such assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that modeled results will approximate actual results. The analysis does not consider all actions that the Corporation could employ in response to changes in market interest rates.

     Total deposits and repurchase agreements increased by $340.9 million or 9.1% to $4.1 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004, primarily as a result of the acquisition of NSD. In addition, the Corporation successfully deepened customer relationships through the introduction of its LifeStyle 50 checking product, aimed at senior citizens. This resulted in a shift of approximately $89.0 million from non-interest bearing demand to NOW accounts during the first nine months of 2005.

LOANS
     The loan portfolio consists principally of loans to individuals and small- and medium-sized businesses within the Corporation’s primary market area of western and central Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio. In addition, the portfolio contains consumer finance loans to individuals in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee.

     The above loan totals include unearned income of $26.7 million and $30.6 million at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
     Total loans increased by $365.4 million or 10.8% to $3.8 billion at September 30, 2005. The Corporation focused on growing the more desirable segments of the loan portfolio as commercial, direct installment and consumer lines of credit combined increased by $226.9 million or 9.0% as a result of the acquisition of NSD and organic loan growth. Indirect installment increased $122.2 million or 31.3% as a result of the acquisition of NSD.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
     Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and restructured loans. Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued. Restructured loans are loans in which the borrower has been granted a concession on the interest rate or the original repayment terms due to financial distress.
     It is the Corporation’s policy to discontinue interest accruals when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for 90 to 180 days or more depending on the loan type. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest is reversed. Non-accrual loans may not be restored to accrual status until all delinquent principal and interest has been paid.
     Non-performing loans are closely monitored on an ongoing basis as part of the Corporation’s loan review and work-out process. The potential risk of loss on these loans is evaluated by comparing the loan balance to the fair value of any underlying collateral or the present value of projected future cash flows. Losses are recognized where appropriate.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
     The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at a specific point in time. This estimate includes losses associated with specifically identified loans, as well as estimated probable credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio. Additions are made to the allowance through both periodic provisions charged to income and recoveries of losses previously incurred. Reductions to the allowance occur as loans are charged off. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly, and in doing so relies on various factors including, but not limited to, assessment of historical loss experience, delinquency and non-accrual trends, portfolio growth, underlying collateral coverage and current economic conditions. This evaluation requires material estimates that may change over time.
     The components of the allowance for loan losses represent estimates based upon FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. FAS 5 applies to homogeneous loan pools such as consumer installment, residential mortgages and consumer lines of credit, as well as commercial loans that are not individually evaluated for impairment under FAS 114. FAS 114 is applied to commercial loans that are considered impaired.
     Under FAS 114, a loan is impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the loan will not be repaid according to its contractual terms, including both principal or interest. Management performs individual assessments of impaired loans to determine the existence of loss exposure and, where applicable, the extent of loss exposure based upon the present value of expected future cash flows available to pay the loan, or based upon the estimated realizable collateral where a loan is collateral dependent. Commercial loans excluded from FAS 114 individual impairment analysis are collectively evaluated by management to estimate reserves for loan losses inherent in those loans in accordance with FAS 5.
     In estimating loan loss contingencies, management applies historical loan loss rates and also considers how the loss rates may be impacted by changes in current economic conditions, delinquency and non-performing loan trends, changes in loan underwriting guidelines and credit policies, as well as the results of internal loan reviews. Homogeneous loan pools are evaluated using similar criteria that are based upon historical loss rates of various loan types. Historical loss rates are adjusted to incorporate changes in existing conditions that may impact, both positively or negatively, the degree to which these loss histories may vary. This determination inherently involves a degree of uncertainty and considers current risk factors that may not have occurred in the Corporation’s historical loan loss experience.
     Following is an analysis of changes in the allowance for loan losses (in thousands):

     The allowance for loan losses increased $4.1 million from September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2005 representing an increase of 8.9%. The increase in the allowance for loan losses is attributed to the acquisitions of Slippery Rock and NSD. The Slippery Rock acquisition brought with it $189.2 million in loans and associated allowance for loan losses of $4.4 million, which represented 2.3% of Slippery Rock’s loans. The NSD acquisition brought with it $308.9 million in loans and associated allowance for loan losses of $3.6 million, which represented 1.2% of NSD’s loans.
     Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were estimated previously through provisions for credit losses. Loans charged off in the nine months of 2005 increased $1.1 million to $14.6 million, due to the charge-off of a $1.5 million loan that was previously fully reserved. Net charge-offs (annualized) as a percent of average loans decreased to .45% for the first nine months of 2005 compared to .48% for the same period of 2004 reflecting improved performance.
     Management considers numerous factors when estimating reserves for loan losses, including historical charge-off rates and subsequent recoveries. Consideration is given to the impact of changes in qualitative factors that influence the Corporation’s credit quality, such as the local and regional economies that the Corporation serves. Assessment of relevant economic factors indicates that the Corporation’s primary markets tend to lag the national economy, with local economies in the Corporation’s market areas also improving, but at a more measured rate than the national trends. Regional economic factors influencing management’s estimate of reserves include uncertainty of the labor markets in the regions the Corporation serves and a contracting labor force due, in part, to productivity growth and industry consolidations, which influence the level of reserves. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are influenced by economic conditions within certain sectors of the economy, such as health care, manufacturing and the commercial office and commercial retail sub markets that are pressured by supply imbalances within certain market areas of the Corporation. Pressures on the Corporation’s healthcare customers include skilled labor shortages, rising liability costs and the risk to Medicaid payments as states balance tight budgets. In 2004 there was an increase in interest rates and energy costs, trends that are continuing in 2005. Rising rates directly affect borrowers tied to floating rate loans as increasing debt service requirements pressure customers that now face higher loan payments. The Corporation also considers how rising interest rates and energy costs influence consumer loan customers who now carry historically high debt loads. Consumer credit risk and loss exposures are evaluated using loss histories of the FAS 5 pools and roll rate analysis to estimate credit quality migration and expected losses within the homogeneous loan pools.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REGULATORY MATTERS
     The assessment of capital adequacy depends on a number of factors such as asset quality, liquidity, earnings performance, changing competitive conditions and economic forces. The Corporation seeks to maintain a strong capital base to support its growth and expansion activities, to provide stability to current operations and to promote public confidence.
     The Corporation has an effective $200.0 million shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Corporation may, from time to time, issue any combination of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or trust preferred securities in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $200.0 million.
     The Corporation and FNBPA are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital adequacy requires the Corporation and FNBPA to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of leverage ratio (as defined). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions, by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and FNBPA must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation’s and FNBPA’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
     As of September 30, 2005, the Corporation and FNBPA satisfy the requirements to be considered “well- capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     The information called for by this item is provided under the caption Interest Rate Sensitivity in Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There were no material changes in the information provided under “Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Corporation’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a — 15(e) and 15d — 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report, were effective as of such date at the reasonable assurance level as discussed below to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS. The Corporation’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Corporation have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. In addition, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.
     CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. The CEO and CFO have evaluated the changes to the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Corporation’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, as required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a — 15 and 15d — 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have concluded that there were no such changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     The Corporation and its subsidiaries are involved in a number of legal proceedings arising from the conduct of their business activities. These actions include claims brought against the Corporation and its subsidiaries where the Corporation acted as a depository bank, lender, underwriter, fiduciary, financial advisor, broker or other business activities. Although the ultimate outcome cannot be predicted with certainty, the Corporation believes that it has valid defenses for all asserted claims. Reserves are established for legal claims when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated.
     Based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, the Corporation believes that the eventual outcome of all claims against the Corporation and its subsidiaries will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Corporation’s results of operations for a particular period.
