PART I -------- Item 1. Business. ------ -------- FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS First Chester County Corporation (the "Corporation") may from time to time make written or oral "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements contained in the Corporation's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Report on Form 10-K), its reports to shareholders and in other communications by the Corporation. These statements can often be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes", "expects", "intends", "may", "will", "should" or "anticipates" or similar terminology. These statements involve risks and uncertainties and are based on various assumptions. Investors and prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only projections. The risks and uncertainties noted below, among others, could cause the Corporation's actual future results to differ materially from those described in forward looking statements made in this report or presented elsewhere by Management from time to time. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) loan growth and/or loan margins may be less than expected due to competitive pressures in the banking industry and/or changes in the interest rate environment; (b) the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the economic conditions in the Corporation's market area may be less favorable than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality causing increased loan losses; (c) costs and timing of the Corporation's planned training initiatives, product development, branch expansion, new technology and operating systems may exceed expectations; (d) volatility in the Corporation's market area due to mergers of competing financial institutions which may have unanticipated consequences, such as customer turnover; (e) changes in the regulatory environment, securities markets, general business conditions and inflation may be adverse, including the effects of trade, monetary and fiscal policies of the government and interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve System; (f) impact of changes in interest rates on customer behavior; (g) estimated changes in net interest income; (h) continued competitive pressure on net yields; (i) ability to acquire suitable branch locations at reasonable cost; and (j) technological changes. These risks and uncertainties are all difficult to predict and most are beyond the control of the Corporation's Management. Although the Corporation believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, readers are cautioned that such statements are only projections. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report. GENERAL The Corporation is a Pennsylvania business corporation and a bank holding company registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). As a bank holding company, the Corporation's operations are confined to the ownership and operation of banks and activities deemed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") to be so closely related to banking to be a proper incident thereto. The Corporation was incorporated on March 9, 1984, for the purpose of becoming a registered bank holding company pursuant to the BHC Act and acquiring First National Bank of Chester County, formerly known as The First National Bank of West Chester (the "Bank"), thereby enabling the Bank to operate within a bank holding company structure. On September 13, 1984, the Corporation acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank. The principal activities of the Corporation are the owning and supervising of the Bank, which engages in a general banking business in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Corporation directs the policies and coordinates the financial resources of the Bank. In addition, the Corporation is the sole shareholder of Turks Head Properties, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, which was formed in 1994 for the purpose of holding the Bank's interest's in and operating foreclosed real property until liquidation of such properties. The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, FNB Insurance Services, LLC, trading as, First National Wealth Advisory Services, and FNB Properties, LLC. First National Wealth Advisory Services offers insurance, full service brokerage, financial planning and mutual fund services through this subsidiary. FNB Properties, LLC acts as property manager for the properties where the Bank's Lionville and New Garden branches are located. On August 5, 2000, First Chester County Corporation became a financial holding company pursuant to the Grahm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. BUSINESS OF THE BANK The Bank is engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking and was organized under the banking laws of the United States in December 1863. The Bank currently conducts its business through fifteen banking offices located in Chester and Delaware Counties, Pennsylvania, including its main office. In addition, the Bank operates twenty-one limited service ATM facilities. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System. At December 31, 2001, the Bank had total assets of approximately $584 million, total loans of approximately $448 million, total deposits of approximately $499 million and employed 279 persons, of which 221 were full-time and 58 were part-time. The Bank is a full service commercial bank offering a broad range of retail banking, commercial banking, internet banking, trust and financial management services to individuals and businesses. Retail services include checking accounts, savings programs, money-market accounts, certificates of deposit, safe deposit facilities, consumer loan programs, residential mortgages, overdraft checking, automated tellers and extended banking hours. Commercial services include revolving lines of credit, commercial mortgages, equipment leasing and letter of credit services. These retail and commercial banking activities are provided primarily to consumers and small to mid-sized companies within the Bank's market area. Lending services are focused on commercial, consumer and real estate lending to local borrowers. The Bank attempts to establish a total borrowing relationship with its customers which may typically include a commercial real estate loan, a business line of credit for working capital needs, a mortgage loan for a borrower's residence, a consumer loan or a revolving personal credit line. The Bank's Financial Management Services Department provides a broad range of personal trust services. It administers and provides investment management services for estates, trusts, agency accounts and employee benefit plans. At December 31, 2001, the Bank's Financial Management Services Department administered or provided investment management services to accounts that held assets with an aggregate market value of approximately $497 million. For the year ended December 31, 2001, gross income from the Bank's Financial Management Services Department and related activities amounted to approximately $2.9 million. COMPETITION The Bank's service area consists primarily of greater Chester County, including West Chester and Kennett Square, as well as the western fringe of Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The core of the Bank's service area is located within a fifteen-mile radius of the Bank's main office in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The Bank encounters vigorous competition for market share in the communities it serves from community banks, thrift institutions and other non-bank financial organizations. The Bank also competes with banking and financial institutions, some from out-of-state that have opened branches in our market, which are substantially larger and have greater financial resources than the Bank. There are branches of many commercial banks, savings banks and credit unions, including the Bank, in the general market area serviced by the Bank. The largest of these institutions had assets of over $100 billion and the smallest had assets of less than $30 million. The Bank had total assets of approximately $584 million as of December 31, 2001. The Bank competes for deposits with various other commercial banks, savings banks, Internet banks, credit unions, brokerage firms and stock, bond and money market funds. The Bank also faces competition from major retail-oriented firms that offer financial services similar to services traditionally available only through commercial banks without being subject to the same degree of regulation. Mortgage banking firms, finance companies, insurance companies and leasing companies also compete with the Bank for traditional lending services. Management believes that the Bank is able to effectively compete with its competitors because of its ability to provide responsive personalized services and competitive rates. This ability is a direct result of management's knowledge of the Bank's market area and customer base. Management believes the needs of the small to mid-sized commercial business and retail customers are not adequately met by larger financial institutions, therefore creating a marketing opportunity for the Bank. BUSINESS OF TURKS HEAD PROPERTIES INC. Turks Head Properties, Inc. was formed in 1994 to hold the Bank's interest in a Partnership which was formed to facilitate the acquisition, necessary repairs, required environmental remediation and other actions necessary to sell real property acquired by the bank through foreclosure. As of December 31, 2001, one property was held in Turks Head Properties as a result of 2001 activity. Turks Head Properties, Inc. may be used in the future to hold and administer the Bank's interests in foreclosed real properties. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION General The Corporation is a bank holding company subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, the Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") and secondary regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Federal and state laws impose a number of requirements and restrictions on the operations of the Bank, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be made and the types of services which may be offered, and restrictions on the ability to acquire deposits under certain circumstances. The Bank must also comply with various consumer laws and regulations, and approval of the OCC is required before establishing new branches and for bank mergers if the continuing bank would be a national bank. Certain aspects of the Bank's operation are also subject to state laws. The following sections discuss more fully some of the principal elements of the regulatory framework applicable to the Corporation and the Bank. This discussion is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the statutes and regulations applicable to the Corporation and the Bank and is subject to and qualified by reference to the statutory and regulatory provisions. A change in these statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, or the adoption of new statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, may have a material effect on our business. Bank Holding Company Act The Corporation is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board an annual report and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the BHC Act. Annual and other periodic reports also are required to be filed with the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board also makes examinations of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. The BHC Act requires each bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire substantially all of the assets of any bank, or if it would acquire or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such a bank. The Federal Reserve Board considers numerous factors, including its capital adequacy guidelines, before approving such acquisitions. For a description of certain applicable guidelines, see this Item "Capital," Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Capital Adequacy," and Part II, Item 8, "Note I -- Regulatory Matters" in the consolidated financial statements. The Community Reinvestment Act The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the "CRA"), and the regulations promulgated to implement the CRA are designed to create a system for bank regulatory agencies to evaluate a depository institution's record in meeting the credit needs of its community. The CRA regulations were completely revised in 1995 to establish performance-based standards for use in examining a depository institution's compliance with the CRA (the "revised CRA regulations"). The revised CRA regulations establish new tests for evaluating both small and large depository institutions' investment in the community. For the purposes of the revised CRA regulations, the Bank is deemed to be a large retail institution, based upon financial information as of December 31, 2001. The Bank has opted to be examined under a three-part test evaluating the Bank's lending service and investment performance. The Bank is currently waiting for its rating from its 2001 exam. Dividend Restrictions The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. Virtually all of the revenue of the Corporation available for payment of dividends on its Common Stock will result from amounts paid to the Corporation from dividends received from the Bank. All such dividends are subject to limitations imposed by federal and state laws and by regulations and policies adopted by federal and state regulatory agencies. The Bank as a national bank is required by federal law to obtain the approval of the OCC for the payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the Board of Directors of the Bank in any calendar year will exceed the total of the Bank's net income for that year and the retained net income for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. Under this formula, in 2002, the Bank, without affirmative governmental approvals, could declare aggregate dividends of approximately $14.7 million, plus an amount approximately equal to the net income, if any, earned by the Bank for the period from January 1, 2001, through the date of declaration of such dividend less dividends previously paid, subject to the further limitations that a national bank can pay dividends only to the extent that retained net profits (including the portion transferred to surplus) exceed bad debts and provided that the Bank would not become "undercapitalized" (as these terms are defined under federal law). Dividends declared in 2001 were $2.2 million If, in the opinion of the applicable regulatory authority, a bank or bank holding company under its jurisdiction is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the bank or bank holding company, could include the payment of dividends), such regulatory authority may require such bank or bank holding company to cease and desist from such practice, or to limit dividends in the future. Finally, the several regulatory authorities described herein, may from time to time, establish guidelines, issue policy statements and adopt regulations with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by a bank or bank holding company under their jurisdiction. Compliance with the standards set forth in such policy statements, guidelines and regulations could limit the amount of dividends which the Corporation and the Bank may pay. Capital The Corporation and the Bank are both subject to minimum capital requirements and guidelines. The Federal Reserve Board measures capital adequacy for bank holding companies on the basis of a risk-based capital framework and a leverage ratio. The Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines currently provide for a minimum leverage ratio of Tier I capital to adjusted total assets of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain criteria, including that they maintain the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points. The Federal Reserve Board has not advised the Corporation of any specific minimum leverage ratio under these guidelines which would be applicable to the Corporation. Failure to satisfy regulators that a bank holding company will comply fully with capital adequacy guidelines upon consummation of an acquisition may impede the ability of a bank holding company to consummate such acquisition, particularly if the acquisition involves payment of consideration other than common stock. In many cases, the regulatory agencies will not approve acquisitions by bank holding companies and banks unless their capital ratios are well above regulatory minimums. The Bank is subject to capital requirements which generally are similar to those affecting the Corporation. The minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets (including certain off-balance sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%. Capital may consist of equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill ("Tier I capital"), and certain convertible debt securities, qualifying subordinated debt, other preferred stock and a portion of the reserve for possible credit losses ("Tier II capital"). A depository institution's capital classification depends upon its capital levels in relation to various relevant capital measures, which include a risk-based capital measure and a leverage ratio capital measure. A depository institution is considered well capitalized if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure, adequately capitalized if it meets each such measure, undercapitalized if it fails to meet any such measure, significantly undercapitalized if it is significantly below any such measure and critically undercapitalized if it fails to meet any critical capital level set forth in the regulations. An institution may be placed in a lower capitalization category if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating, is deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound condition, or engages in unsafe or unsound practices. Under applicable regulations, for an institution to be well capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to any specific capital order or directive. As of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Corporation and the Bank had capital in excess of all regulatory minimums and the Bank was "well capitalized." Deposit Insurance Assessments The Bank is subject to deposit insurance assessments by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). The FDIC has developed a risk-based assessment system, under which the assessment rate for an insured depository institution varies according to its level of risk. An institution's risk category is based upon whether the institution is well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized and the institution's "supervisory subgroups": Subgroup A, B or C. Subgroup A institutions are financially sound institutions with a few minor weaknesses; Subgroup B institutions are institutions that demonstrate weaknesses which, if not corrected, could result in significant deterioration; and Subgroup C institutions are institutions for which there is a substantial probability that the FDIC will suffer a loss in connection with the institution unless effective action is taken to correct the areas of weakness. Based on its capital and supervisory subgroups, each BIF member institution is assigned an annual FDIC assessment rate per $100 of insured deposits varying between 0.00% per annum (for well capitalized Subgroup A institutions) and 0.27% per annum (for undercapitalized Subgroup C institutions). As of January 1, 2000, well capitalized Subgroup A institutions paid 0.00%. In accordance with the Deposit Insurance Act of 1997 an additional assessment by the Financing Corporation ("FICO") became applicable to all insured institutions as of January 1, 1998. This assessment is not tied to the FDIC risk classification. The BIF FICO assessment ranged from 1.760 and 1.820 basis points per $100 in deposits for 2001. For 2001, the Bank's assessment for BIF FICO was $86 thousand. Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 On November 12, 1999, the President signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "Act") which became effective on March 11, 2000. Among the Act's various provisions are some changes governing the operations of companies doing business in the financial services industry. The Act eliminates many of the restrictions previously placed on the activities of banks and bank holding companies, and through the creation of two new designations, financial holding companies and financial subsidiaries, bank holding companies and national banks may participate in a wider array of financial services and products (referred to as "financial activities" in the Act), including services and products that had been reserved only for insurance companies and securities firms. In addition, a bank holding company can now affiliate with an insurance company and a securities firm. A "financial activity" is an activity that does not pose a safety and soundness risk and is financial in nature, incidental to an activity that is financial in nature, or complementary to a financial activity. Some examples of "financial activities" which are permitted under the Act are: o Lending, investing or safeguarding money or securities; o Underwriting insurance or annuities, or acting as an insurance or annuity principal, agent or broker; o Providing financial or investment advice; o Underwriting, dealing in or making markets in securities; and o Insurance company portfolio investments. The Corporation meets the qualifications set forth under the Act to elect to become a financial holding company, and the Bank, as a national bank, is authorized by the Act to use "financial subsidiaries" to engage in financial activities, subject to the limitations imposed by the Act. On August 5, 2001, the Bank became a financial holding company pursuant to the Act. During 2000, First National Wealth Advisory Services was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank for the purpose of offering insurance, full service brokerage, financial planning and mutual fund services. First National Wealth Advisory Services has elected to become a financial subsidiary under the Act. Control Acquisitions The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring "control" of a bank holding company, unless the Federal Reserve Board has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve Board, the acquisition of ten percent or more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such as the Corporation, would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute acquisition of control of the bank holding company. In addition, as described above, under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve Board must give its prior approval of any transaction pursuant to which any person or persons may acquire 25 percent (five percent in the case of an acquirer that is a bank holding company) or more of any class of outstanding common stock of a bank holding company, such as the Corporation, or otherwise obtaining control or a "controlling influence" over that bank holding company. See this Item, " Bank Holding Company Act". Other Matters Federal and state law also contains a variety of other provisions that affect the operations of the Corporation and the Bank including certain reporting requirements, regulatory standards and guidelines for real estate lending, "truth in savings" provisions, the requirement that a depository institution give 90 days prior notice to customers and regulatory authorities before closing any branch, certain restrictions on investments and activities of nationally-chartered insured banks and their subsidiaries, limitations on credit exposure between banks, restrictions on loans to a bank's insiders, guidelines governing regulatory examinations, and a prohibition on the acceptance or renewal of brokered deposits by depository institutions that are not well capitalized or are adequately capitalized and have not received a waiver from the FDIC. EFFECT OF GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES The earnings of the Bank and, therefore, of the Corporation are affected not only by domestic and foreign economic conditions, but also by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States and its agencies (particularly the Federal Reserve Board), foreign governments and other official agencies. The Federal Reserve Board can and does implement national monetary policy, such as the curbing of inflation and combating of recession, by its open market operations in United States government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowings from the Federal Reserve and the establishment of reserve requirements against deposits and certain liabilities of depository institutions. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board influence the level of loans, investments and deposits and also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies are not predictable. From time to time, various proposals are made in the United States Congress and the Pennsylvania legislature and before various regulatory authorities which would alter the powers of different types of banking organizations, remove restrictions on such organizations and change the existing regulatory framework for banks, bank holding companies and other financial institutions. It is impossible to predict whether any of such proposals will be adopted and the impact, if any, of such adoption on the business of the Corporation. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Please refer to the Corporation's 2001 annual report pages 43-45. STATISTICAL DISCLOSURES The following tables set forth certain statistical disclosures concerning the Corporation and the Bank. These tables should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Corporation's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, incorporated herein by reference. ANALYSIS FOR LOAN LOSS UPDATE In its 2001 annual report the Corporation reported total loan write-downs and charge offs of $3.4 million and total non-performing loans of $7.8 million. As of the date of this report $205 thousand of the 2001 charge-offs have been recovered and a significant loan relationship, which accounts for a material portion of the non-performing loans, has been restructured. Management is currently evaluating the details of this restructuring agreement in conjunction with the regulatory environment to determine when this loan can be restored to performing status.

This policy is used primarily in evaluating ongoing customer's use of their lines of credit with the Bank that are at floating interest rates. (2) This data excludes real estate-other loans, consumer loans and lease financing receivables. (3) Demand loans and overdrafts are reported maturing "Within 1 Year". Construction real estate loans are reported maturing "Within 1 Year" because of their short term maturity or index to the Bank's prime rate. An immaterial amount of loans has no stated schedule of repayments.
