F.N.B. CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2006
BUSINESS
     F.N.B. Corporation (the Corporation) is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. Its primary businesses include commercial and retail banking, consumer finance, asset management and insurance. The Corporation operates its retail and commercial banking business through a full service branch network in Pennsylvania and Ohio and four loan production offices in Florida, and conducts selected consumer finance business in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. 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 (FNIA), Regency Finance Company and F.N.B. Capital Corporation, LLC.
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect the Corporation’s financial position and results of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
     The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements include subsidiaries in which the Corporation has a controlling financial 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. 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).
USE OF ESTIMATES
     The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
     On November 1, 2005, the Corporation acquired the assets of Penn Group Insurance, Inc. (Penn Group), a full-service insurance agency based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Penn Group, an established life and employee benefits agency, became a part of the Corporation’s existing insurance agency, FNIA.
     On October 7, 2005, the Corporation completed its acquisition of North East Bancorp, Inc. (North East) (Pink Sheets: NEBI), 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. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. 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.
     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, which was accounted for as a purchase, 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.

Table of Contents

     The assets and liabilities of these acquired entities were recorded on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of their respective acquisition dates. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of these entities from their respective dates of acquisition.
Pending Acquisition
     In December 2005, the Corporation announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement to acquire The Legacy Bank (Legacy), a commercial bank and trust company with $370.5 million in assets at March 31, 2006 based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Thirty percent of Legacy shares will be exchanged for cash at $18.40 per share while the remaining seventy percent will be exchanged for F.N.B. Corporation common stock on a one-for-one basis. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2006, pending regulatory and stockholder approval.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     On January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (FAS) 123R, Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock, made to employees and directors.
     The Corporation adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the first quarter of 2006 reflect the impact of FAS 123R. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FAS 123R. Share-based compensation expense recognized under FAS 123R related to restricted stock awards was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
     Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Corporation accounted for share-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as allowed under FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was related to restricted stock awards that the Corporation had been recognizing in its consolidated statement of income in accordance with the provisions set forth above. Because the exercise price of the Corporation’s stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the grant date, under the intrinsic value method, no share-based compensation expense was recognized in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of income.
     FAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of income over the requisite service periods. Because share-based compensation expense is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, share-based compensation expense has been reduced to account for estimated forfeitures. FAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. For periods prior to 2006, the Corporation accounted for forfeitures as they occurred in the consolidated financial statements under APB Opinion No. 25 and in the pro forma information under FAS 123. The cumulative effect of the accounting change associated with the adoption of FAS 123R was a reduction in compensation expense of less than $0.1 million.
     FAS 123R also requires that awards be expensed over the shorter of the requisite service period or the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Corporation recorded compensation expense for retirement-eligible employees ratably over the vesting period. The impact of applying the provisions of FAS 123R related to retirement-eligible employees would have increased compensation expense by approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     As of March 31, 2006, there was $3.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards granted including $1.6 million that is subject to accelerated vesting under the plan’s immediate vesting upon retirement provision for awards granted prior to the adoption of FAS 123R. This unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.
     FAS 123R amends FAS 95, Statement of Cash Flows, and requires tax benefits related to stock-based compensation deductions be presented in the statement of cash flows as a financing activity.

     In November 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 123(R)-3, Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards. FSP 123(R)-3 provides an elective alternative transition method for calculating the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of FAS 123R. Companies may take up to one year from the effective date of FSP 123(R)-3 to evaluate the available transition alternatives and make a one-time election as to which method to adopt. The Corporation is currently in the process of evaluating the alternative methods.

Restricted Stock
     The Corporation issued 90,921 restricted shares of common stock with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 to key employees of the Corporation under its 2001 Incentive Plan. The Corporation did not issue any restricted shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The Corporation has available up to 2,444,916 shares to issue under its 2001 Incentive Plan.
     Under this program, half of the shares awarded to management are earned if the Corporation meets or exceeds certain financial performance results when compared to peers. The service-based portion of the shares are expensed ratably over the three year restricted period while performance-related shares are expensed ratably from the date that the likelihood of meeting the performance measure is probable through the end of the four year restricted period. The Corporation also issues discretionary service-based awards to employees that vest twenty percent each year over five years. All of these awards are subject to accelerated vesting if there is a change of control as defined in the plan. The unvested shares of restricted stock are eligible to receive cash dividends which are used to purchase additional shares of stock. The additional shares of stock are subject to forfeiture if the service period is not completed or the performance criteria are not met.
     The unamortized expense relating to all restricted stock awards, totaling $2.9 million at March 31, 2005 and $4.2 million at December 31, 2005 were reflected as deferred stock compensation in the stockholders’ equity section of the Corporation’s balance sheet. Upon the adoption of FAS 123R in January 2006, unamortized compensation expense was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

     As of March 31, 2006, there were 161,231 unvested service-based shares outstanding with unrecognized compensation expense of $1.9 million, an intrinsic value of $2.8 million and a weighted average remaining life of 2.5 years. As of March 31, 2006, there were also 128,356 unvested performance-based shares outstanding with unrecognized compensation expense of $2.0 million, an intrinsic value of $2.2 million and a weighted average remaining life of 2.9 years.
Stock Options
     The Corporation also has available up to 7,432,890 shares to issue under its non-qualified stock option plans to key employees and directors of the Corporation. Options have been granted at a price equal to the fair market value at the date of the grant and are primarily exercisable within ten years from the date of the grant. Because the exercise price of the Corporation’s stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense was recognized in 2005 in accordance with APB Opinion 25. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Corporation accelerated the vesting of approximately 186,000 shares of remaining unvested stock options in order to reduce future compensation expense. No shares were issued under these plans during the first quarter of 2006 or 2005. The Corporation issues shares of treasury stock or authorized but unissued shares to satisfy stock option exercises. Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options were 60,827 and 230,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

Pro Forma Stock-Based Payments Prior to the Adoption of FAS 123R
     Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Corporation provided disclosures required under FAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under FAS 123R has not been reflected in the statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 for employee stock option awards as the options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of common stock on the grant date. The following table shows pro forma net income and earnings per share assuming the stock-based compensation expense had been recognized in the statement of income (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

     The fair value of stock options outstanding was determined at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:
         
Risk-free interest rate
    4.31 %
Dividend yield
    2.89 %
Expected stock price volatility
    .21 %
Expected life (years)
    5.00  
Fair value of options granted
  $ 4.57  
     The option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in theses subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
     In May 2005, the FASB issued FAS 154, Accounting Charges and Error Corrections, which changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This statement required retrospective application to prior period consolidated financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific or cumulative effects of the change. FAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Corporation.
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
     In March 2006, the FASB issued FAS 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (FAS 140). FAS 140 established, among other things, the accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. FAS 156 amends FAS 140 to require that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. FAS 156 also permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Under FAS 156, an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Adoption of FAS 156 is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. Upon adoption, the Corporation will apply the requirements for recognition and initial measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities prospectively to all transactions. The Corporation will adopt FAS 156 for the year beginning January 1, 2007 and currently has not determined if it will adopt FAS 156 using the fair value election.
Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions
     In July 2005, the FASB released an Exposure Draft of a proposed interpretation, Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions – an Interpretation of FAS 109. The Exposure Draft contains proposed language related to the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. Any initial de-recognition amounts will be reported as a cumulative effect of an accounting principle. In October 2005, the effective date of the Exposure Draft was delayed and in January 2006, the FASB staff concluded that it will be effective for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2006. A final interpretation is expected to be issued during the second quarter of 2006. The Corporation will evaluate the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements upon issuance of the final standard.
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
     In March 2006, the FASB released an Exposure Draft of a proposed interpretation, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans, an amendment of FAS 87, 88, 106 and 132R. The Exposure Draft contains a proposed provision to recognize in the balance sheet the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and postretirement plans, which is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation. The Exposure Draft also proposes recognizing actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax within equity with costs and credits that arise in each period included in comprehensive income. Under existing pension and postretirement accounting standards, actuarial gains and losses and prior service cost and credit amounts are not recognized in the balance sheet.
     A final interpretation is expected to be issued during the second quarter of 2006, and the standard is expected to be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. Retrospective application would be required. The Corporation has not yet completed its evaluation of the potential impact of the Exposure Draft on its consolidated financial statements, however the recognition of its unamortized actuarial losses and prior service costs in accumulated other comprehensive income within equity would result in a significant reduction to stockholders’ equity.

     The Corporation sold $2.4 million of securities at a gain of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. None of the security sales were at a loss.
     Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary 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, 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 or maturity. Among the factors that are considered in determining intent and ability is a review of the Corporation’s capital adequacy, interest rate risk position and liquidity. The assessment of a security’s ability to recover any decline in market value, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations and management’s intent and ability requires considerable judgment. A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within non-interest income in the statement of income.

Statutory Trust I (Statutory Trust), an unconsolidated subsidiary trust, issued $125.0 million of Corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities (capital securities) to fund the acquisition of a bank that was later spun-off with the Corporation’s Florida operations. 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 London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 325 basis points. The interest rate in effect at March 31, 2006 was 7.78%. The Corporation has entered into agreements which, 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 Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board) guidelines and are first redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Corporation on or after March 31, 2008 and mature on March 31, 2033.
INTEREST RATE SWAP
     In February 2005, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $125.0 million, whereby it will pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a variable rate based on LIBOR. The effective date of the swap was January 3, 2006 and the maturity date of the swap is March 31, 2008. The interest rate swap is a designated cash flow hedge 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 and assessment of the hedging relationship is evaluated under the critical terms match method. At March 31, 2006, the swap had a fair value of $2.3 million which has been recorded in other assets, and other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Corporation accounts for the swap in accordance with FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

COMMITMENTS, CREDIT RISK AND CONTINGENCIES
     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. The credit risk associated with loan commitments and standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to normal credit policies. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.
     Following is a summary of off-balance sheet credit risk information (in thousands):
                 
    March 31,   December 31,
    2006   2005
Commitments to extend credit
  $ 810,536     $ 729,892  
Standby letters of credit
    72,263       61,659  
     At March 31, 2006, funding of approximately 75% 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. 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 consolidated 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.
     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 engaged in 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, available insurance coverage and established reserves, 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.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
     Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding net of unvested shares of restricted stock.
     Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of potential common shares issuable for stock options and restricted shares based on the treasury stock method using the average market price. Such adjustments to the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding are made only when such adjustments dilute earnings per common share.

RETIREMENT AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
     The Corporation sponsors the F.N.B. Corporation Retirement Income Plan (RIP), a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all salaried employees. The RIP covers employees who satisfy minimum age and length of service requirements. Benefits of the RIP are generally based on years of service and the employee’s compensation for five consecutive years during their last ten years of employment. The RIP’s funding policy is to make annual contributions to the RIP each year equal to the maximum tax deductible amount. The Corporation made a contribution of $3.0 million to the RIP in the first quarter of 2006.
     The Corporation also sponsors two supplemental non-qualified retirement plans. The ERISA Excess Retirement Plan provides retirement benefits equal to the difference, if any, between the maximum benefit allowable under the Internal Revenue Code and the amount that would be provided under the RIP, if no limits were applied. The Basic Retirement Plan (BRP) is applicable to certain officers who are designated by the Board of Directors. Officers participating in the BRP receive a benefit based on a target benefit percentage based on years of service at retirement and designated tier as determined by the Board of Directors. When a participant retires, the basic benefit under the BRP is a monthly benefit equal to the target benefit percentage times the participant’s highest average monthly cash compensation during five consecutive calendar years within the last ten calendar years of employment. This monthly benefit is reduced by the monthly benefit the participant receives from Social Security and the qualified RIP.

     The Corporation sponsors a pre-Medicare eligible postretirement medical insurance plan for retirees between the ages of 62 and 65 of certain affiliates. The Corporation has no plan assets attributable to this plan and funds the benefits as claims arise. Benefit costs related to this plan are recognized in the periods in which employees provide service for such benefits. The Corporation reserves the right to terminate the plan or make plan changes at any time.

     The Corporation also sponsors 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 defers. 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 $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

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, savings 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. The Consumer Finance segment activity is funded through the sale of the Corporation’s 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.

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 March 31, 2006, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 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, 2005, 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 8, 2006, 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, 2005, 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
     Critical accounting policies are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Corporation’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Application of Critical Accounting Policies.” There have been no significant changes in the application of accounting policies since December 31, 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

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 three months ended March 31, 2006, net interest income, which comprised 69.5% of net revenue as compared to 70.9% for the same period in 2005, 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 $46.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and $46.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The average earning assets increased $234.8 million or 5.0% and average interest bearing liabilities increased $247.7 million or 5.9% from the same period in 2005 primarily due to the acquisitions of NSD and North East. However, the Corporation’s net interest margin decreased by 15 basis points from 2005 to 3.82% for 2006 and was impacted by a flattening of the yield curve throughout 2005 which remained flat in the first quarter of 2006. As such, the Corporation experienced less opportunity to earn higher rates on earning assets 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 three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 (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, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, of $78.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $8.7 million or 12.5% from the same period of 2005. This increase was partially caused by an improvement in yield on earning assets of 43 basis points to 6.42% for the first quarter of 2006. In addition, average earning assets of $4.9 billion for the first quarter of 2006 grew $234.8 million or 5.0% from the same period of 2005 driven by an increase of $285.1 million in average loans, partially offset by a decrease of $55.1 million in investment securities. The increase in average loans was primarily the result of the Corporation’s acquisitions in 2005 while the decrease in average investment securities was a result of a balance sheet restructuring the Corporation completed during the fourth quarter of 2005.

     Interest expense of $31.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $8.3 million or 35.4% from the same period of 2005. This variance was primarily attributable to an increase of 64 basis points in the Corporation’s cost of funds to 2.92% during the first quarter of 2006. Additionally, average interest bearing liabilities increased $247.7 million or 5.9% to average $4.4 billion for the first quarter of 2006. This growth was primarily attributable to a combined increase of $124.7 million or 6.9% in the core deposit categories of interest bearing demand deposit, savings and customer repurchase agreements, and an increase in time deposits of $194.3 million or 13.4%. The increases were the result of the Corporation’s acquisitions of NSD and North East in 2005 as well as success of the introduction of a suite of new deposit products that has attracted additional customers. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in average short-term borrowings of $71.5 million or 29.0%, resulting from decreases in federal funds purchased and subordinated notes.
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 recoveries for the period.
     The provision for loan losses of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $0.6 million or 26.9% from the same period of 2005 as a result of loan growth. Improving trends in the consumer loan portfolio, particularly the indirect installment portfolio, continued to produce lower levels of expected losses. More specifically, for the first quarter of 2006 net charge-offs totaled $3.5 million or .37% (annualized) as a percentage of average loans compared to $3.7 million or .43% (annualized) as a percentage of average loans for the same period of 2005. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was .81% at March 31, 2006 compared to .88% at March 31, 2005 and the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was .66% and .69% for these same periods, respectively. For additional information, refer to the Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses section of this financial review.
Non-Interest Income
     Total non-interest income of $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $1.4 million or 7.3% from the same period of 2005. This increase resulted from increases in service charges, insurance commissions and fees and other non-interest income.
     Service charges on loans and deposits of $10.2 million for the first quarter of 2006 increased $1.1 million or 12.3% from the same period of 2005 as the Corporation’s customer base expanded as a result of the acquisitions in 2005.
     Insurance commissions and fees of $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2006 increased $0.3 million or 8.8% from the same period of 2005 due to an increase in contingent fees, which are primarily recognized during the first quarter of each year.
     Securities commissions of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2006 decreased by $0.5 million or 32.5% from the same period of 2005. The decrease is due to the decline in sales of annuity products as customers have been selecting higher yielding alternatives as interest rates increased.
     Trust fees of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2006 decreased $0.1 million or 3.0% from the same period of 2005. Trust fees in the first quarter of 2005 were benefited by an adjustment of $0.1 million resulting from a system conversion.
     Other income of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2006 increased $0.6 million or 72.4% from the same period of 2005. This increase was attributable to income relating to recoveries on impaired loans acquired in 2005 of $0.3 million during the first quarter of 2006. Also, income from non-marketable equity securities increased by $0.2 million from the same period of 2005.

Non-Interest Expense
     Total non-interest expense was $40.3 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. A small increase in salaries and employee benefit costs in the first quarter of 2006 was offset by lower equipment and other non-interest expenses compared to the same period in the prior year.
     Salaries and employee benefits of $21.3 million for the first quarter of 2006 increased $0.1 million or 0.6% from the same period of 2005. The additional costs associated with the employees retained from the acquisitions in 2005 and normal compensation increases in the first quarter of 2006 were offset by lower salary and benefit costs related to staff reductions in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2005.
     Combined net occupancy and equipment expense of $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2006 increased $0.2 million or 2.5% from the same period of 2005. The increase was primarily due to additional costs associated with the acquisitions in 2005.
     Amortization of intangibles expense of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2006 increased 8.3% from the same period in the prior year due to the amortization of additional core deposit and customer list intangibles as a result of acquisitions in 2005.
     Other non-interest expenses of $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2006 decreased $0.5 million or 3.9% from the same period of 2005 primarily due to a decline in merger expenses. Other non-interest expense included merger expenses of $0.1 million related to the forthcoming Legacy acquisition for the first quarter of 2006 and $0.5 million related to the NSD acquisition in the first quarter of 2005.
Income Taxes
     The Corporation’s income tax expense of $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $0.2 million from the same period in 2005 due to higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 30.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 31.2% for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate decline was due to an increase in tax exempt instruments, an increase in tax credits from participation in new qualifying investments, and lower state taxes. Both years’ tax rates remain lower than the 35% federal statutory tax rate due to the tax credits and tax benefits resulting from tax exempt instruments and excludable dividend income.
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. The Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability 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 adequate levels of liquidity. This policy designates the Corporate Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) as the body responsible for meeting these objectives. The 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. Liquidity is centrally managed on a daily basis by the Corporation’s Treasury Department.
     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 $19.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
     Liquidity sources from liabilities are generated primarily through deposits. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, deposits comprised 79.4% and 78.5% of total liabilities, respectively. 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 March 31, 2006, total availability from these sources was $1.8 billion, or 31.7% of total assets while outstanding advances were $519.9 million, or 9.2% of total assets. As of December 31, 2005, outstanding FHLB advances were $540.0 million, or 9.7% of total assets, while the total availability from these sources was $1.9 billion, or 34.9% 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 March 31, 2006. 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 three months ended March 31, 2006, the Corporation purchased 60,800 treasury shares totaling $1.0 million and received $2.0 million upon re-issuance of 115,205 shares. For the same period of 2005, the Corporation purchased 193,300 treasury shares totaling $3.8 million and received $5.4 million as a result of re-issuance of 257,723 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.
MARKET RISK
     Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices. The Corporation is primarily exposed to interest rate risk which results from its role as a financial intermediary. To succeed in this capacity, the Corporation offers an extensive variety of financial products to meet the diverse needs of its customers. These products sometimes create risk for the Corporation when product groups do not compliment one another, for example depositors may want short-term deposits while borrowers desire long-term loans.
     Changes in market interest rates may result in changes in the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. The ALCO is responsible for market risk management: devising policy guidelines, risk measures and limits, and managing the amount of interest rate risk and its effect on net interest income and capital. The Corporation’s Treasury Department measures interest rate risk and manages interest rate risk on a daily basis.
     Interest rate risk is comprised of repricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk and options risk. Repricing risk arises from differences in the cash flow or repricing between asset and liability portfolios. Basis risk arises when asset and liability portfolios are related to different market rate indices, which do not always change by the same amount. Yield curve risk arises when asset and liability portfolios are related to different maturities on a given yield curve; when the yield curve changes shape, the risk position is altered. Options risk arises from “embedded options” within asset and liability products as certain borrowers have the option to prepay their loans when rates fall while certain depositors can redeem their certificates early when rates rise.
     The Corporation uses a sophisticated asset/liability model to measure its interest rate risk. Interest rate risk measures utilized by the Corporation include earnings simulation, economic value of equity (EVE) and gap analysis.
     Gap analysis and EVE are static measures that do not incorporate assumptions regarding future business. Gap analysis, while a helpful diagnostic tool, displays cash flows for only a single rate environment. 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. Reviewing these various measures provides the Corporation with a reasonably comprehensive view of its interest rate profile.
     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 1.05 and 1.02 at March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. A ratio of more than one indicates a higher level of repricing assets over repricing liabilities over the next twelve months.

     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 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:

    (2.3 )%     (3.4 )%
- 100 basis points
    (.2 )%     (3.3 )%
     The preceding measures are within policy limits. The overall level of interest rate risk has improved and is considered to be relatively low and stable.
     The ALCO is responsible for the identification and management of interest rate risk exposure. As such, the ALCO continuously evaluates strategies to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Since 2004, short-term interest rates have risen significantly while long-term interest rates have increased only slightly. This flattening of the yield curve has made short-term deposits and long-term loans more attractive to customers: a situation that created additional interest rate risk for the Corporation. In order to keep the risk measures in an acceptable position, the ALCO crafted several strategies to mitigate its risk position. During February 2005, the Corporation entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with a notional amount of $125.0 million. Under the agreement, the Corporation will pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a variable rate based on LIBOR. The effective date of the swap was January 3, 2006 and the maturity date is March 31, 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Corporation repositioned its investment portfolio in order to reduce its interest rate risk. The transaction lowered the level of mortgage-related assets held by the Corporation which reduced the repricing risk and options risk of the Corporation. The transaction also reduced the average duration of the portfolio. The Corporation also locked-in funding by utilizing long-term wholesale FHLB advances. In addition, the Corporation regularly sells fixed-rate, residential mortgages to the secondary mortgage loan market in order to manage its holdings of long-term, fixed-rate loans.

     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.

     Total deposits and repurchase agreements increased by $89.1 million or 2.1% to $4.3 billion at March 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of growth in interest bearing deposits due to more competitive rates paid and growth in customer repurchase agreements.
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. The Corporation, through its banking affiliate, also operates four loan production offices in Florida. In addition, the portfolio contains consumer finance loans to individuals in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee.

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.
     The Corporation discontinues 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 is subjective and 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 and 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 high degree of uncertainty and considers current risk factors that may not have occurred in the Corporation’s historical loan loss experience.
     Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses (in thousands):
                 
    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
Balance at beginning of period
  $ 50,707     $ 50,467

  $ 50,178     $ 52,698  
 
           
 
               
Allowance for loan losses to:
               
Total loans, net of unearned income
    1.31 %     1.43 %
Non-performing loans
    162.13 %     161.98 %
     The allowance for loan losses decreased $2.5 million or 4.8% from March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses is partially attributed to improving trends in the consumer loan portfolio, particularly the indirect installment portfolio, which has produced lower levels of expected losses. Also, a charge-off of a $1.5 million loan that was previously fully reserved was recorded in the second quarter of 2005.
     The provision for loan losses of $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased $0.6 million or 26.9% from the same period of 2005 as a result of organic and acquired loan growth of $141 million from March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006.
     Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were estimated previously through provisions for credit losses. Loans charged off in the first quarter of 2006 decreased $0.2 million from the same period in the prior year to $3.5 million. Net charge-offs (annualized) as a percent of average loans decreased to .37% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to .43% for the same period of 2005 reflecting the improved performance in the consumer portfolio.
     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, automotive 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 2005, interest rates and energy costs increased, trends that have continued in 2006. 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 March 31, 2006, Management believes that the Corporation and FNBPA meet all capital adequacy requirements to which either of them are subject and therefore satisfy the requirements to be considered “well-capitalized” under the regulatory framework.
     Following are the capital ratios as of March 31, 2006 for the Corporation and FNBPA (dollars in thousands):
                                                 
                    Well-Capitalized   Minimum Capital

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 March 31, 2006, 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.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
     The Corporation’s risk factors as described in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission remain current.
