PART I

1 BUSINESS

On August 10, 1999, Fidelity D&D Bancorp, Inc (the Company) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Effective June 30, 2000, shareholders of The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank (the Bank) exchanged each of their shares of common stock for two shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company is now the holding company for the Bank.

As set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement filed on SEC Form S-4, common stock of the Company that is being held for exchange of common stock of the Bank, may be sold if the exchange does not occur by June 30, 2002. The Company will hold the net proceeds of the sale, together with any unpaid dividends, in a non interest-bearing account. Payment of the proceeds and any unpaid dividends, without interest, will be made upon proper surrender of the Bank’s common stock certificates.

The Company is headquartered at Blakely and Drinker Streets in Dunmore, Pennsylvania 18512. Financial holding company status was elected effective June 27, 2001.

The Bank is a commercial bank chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Bank’s headquarters are located at Blakely and Drinker Streets in Dunmore, Pennsylvania 18512.

Critical Accounting Policies

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect many of the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change is the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate and reasonable. The Company’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is described in a separate section later in Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Given the very subjective nature of identifying and valuing loan losses, it is likely that well-informed individuals could make materially different assumptions, and could, therefore calculate a materially different allowance value. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, changes in economic conditions may necessitate revisions in future years. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination. Further, a task force of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants is working on detailed implementation guidance for calculating the allowance for loan losses. Implementation of that detailed implementation guidance, which may be issued in 2002, could result in an adjustment to the allowance.

Another material estimate is the calculation of fair values of the Company’s investment securities. The Company receives estimated fair values of investment securities from an independent valuation service through a broker. In developing these fair values, the valuation service uses estimates of cash flows, based on historical performance of similar instruments in similar interest rate environments. Based on experience, management is aware that estimated fair values of investment securities tend to vary among valuation services. Accordingly, when selling investment securities, management typically obtains price quotes from more than one source. As described in Notes 1 and 3 of the consolidated financial statements, the large majority of the Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported separately through accumulated other comprehensive income (included in shareholders’ equity).

The fair value of residential mortgage loans classified as available-for-sale is obtained from the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae). The fair value of SBA loans classified as available-for-sale is obtained from an outside pricing source. The market to which the Bank sells mortgage and other loans is restricted and price quotes from other sources are not typically obtained.

The year 2001

Balance Sheet, Liabilities:
            Deposits:

Due to the economic volatility experienced throughout 2001, many investors moved funds from mutual funds into insured financial institutions. The Bank experienced growth in most deposit segments in reaction to market conditions. A $18,209,000 increase in internet-generated deposits in 2001, clearly reflects this trend.

Internet-generated deposits of $26,449,000 comprise 6.49% of total deposits at December 31, 2001, whereas they were only 2.43% of total deposits at December 31, 2000. Approximately $8,500,000 of these deposits were certificates of deposit (CDs) with terms exceeding twelve months. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Bank lowered the rates on internet-generated CDs and as a planned result the growth in internet-generated deposits stopped.

With the flatness in the national economy predicted for 2002, the Bank anticipates that it will retain internet-generated deposit accounts for the near future.

Among the reasons cited by depositors as to why they selected the Bank are:

  • Courtesy and professionalism of staff
  • Expanded branch network
  • Extended Banking hours
  • Products and services offered
  • Internet services
  • Other banking relationships
10


Personal demand deposit accounts (DDAs) increased $3,051,000 or 15.82% from $19,283,000 at December 31, 2000, to $22,334,000 at December 31, 2001. Part of the growth is attributed to recent branch expansion. For example, the new Kingston office had $273,000 in personal DDAs at December 31, 2001. Personal DDAs at the Peckville office, which opened in February 2000, increased $217,000 during 2001.

Commercial DDAs and Public Fund DDAs grew $4,302,000 or 19.40% from $22,180,000 at December 31, 2000, to $26,482,000 at December 31, 2001. Increased commercial lending relationships contributed to the growth in commercial deposits, as also did the successful marketing of commercial deposit products. Commercial products include:

  • Sweep accounts
  • Flex Cash Manager
  • Merchant Credit Card Processing
  • Fidelity @ Work
  • Lock box operation

Official Bank checks issued and outstanding decreased $1,237,000 from $5,723,000 at December 31, 2000, to $4,486,000 at December 31, 2001.

As a net result of these changes, total noninterest-bearing deposits grew $6,116,000 or 12.96% from $47,186,000 at December 31, 2000, to $53,302,000 at December 31, 2001. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits represents 9.06% of the growth in total deposits during 2001.

Interest-bearing deposits increased $62,352,000 or 21.34% from $292,125,000 at December 31, 2000, to $354,477,000 at December 31, 2001.

Savings and club accounts collectively increased $2,029,000 in 2001.

Due to the drop in deposit rates throughout 2001, NOW accounts and money market deposits declined $2,191,000 and $7,980,000, respectively. A portion of this decrease was transferred into CDs, as depositors favored a guaranteed rate over liquidity.

CDs rose $70,494,000 or 34.20%. Personal CDs grew $32,601,000 or 21.35%. Nonpersonal CDs grew $19,739,000 or 40.76%. Public fund CDs increased $18,154,000 or 73.32% over year-end 2000.

The maturity distribution of CDs $100,000 or more at December 31, 2001 is as follows:

     3 Months           3 - 6          6 - 12          Over
     or less           Months          Months       12 months         Total
     -------           ------          ------       ---------         -----
   $34,870,205       $10,697,915    $26,123,776    $60,988,099     $132,679,995



The over 12 months maturity distribution of CDs $100,000 or more increased $16,591,000 over 2000. This category represents 14.96% of total deposits at December 31, 2001 as compared to 13.08% in 2000. The increase provides the Bank with a stable source of funds for future requirements.

Total public fund deposits of $54,510,000 represent 13.37% of total deposits at December 31, 2001. Public funds at December 31, 2001 increased 17.59% over 2000. CDs comprise $44,855,000 of public fund deposits.

Bank policy states that public fund deposits with original maturities of one year or less cannot exceed 25% of total assets. At December 31, 2001 that ratio was 3.35%. Many of the public entities have had deposit relations with the Bank for a number of years. Other relations developed through branch expansion. While there may be a higher degree of risk

11


in retaining these deposits due to funding and earnings requirements of these depositors, the Bank is confident that it can maintain and increase this important source of funds.

At the end of 2001, total deposits had grown $68,469,000 or 20.18% from $339,310,000 at December 31, 2000, to $407,779,000 at December 31, 2001.

Short-term borrowings:

With the increase in deposits and repurchase agreements (Repos), the Bank paid off short-term borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) which were $10,950,000 at December 31, 2000.

Repos are included with short-term borrowings on the balance sheet (see Note 8 “Short-term Borrowings”, contained within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Repos increased $18,271,000 or 50.77% from $35,987,000 at December 31, 2000 to $54,258,000 at December 31, 2001. Sweep accounts comprise approximately 74% of Repos. A sweep account transfers excess noninterest-bearing DDA funds into an interest-bearing Repo on a daily basis.

Long-term debt:

Long-term debt consists of borrowings from the FHLB. The weighted average rate on funds borrowed at December 31, 2001, was 5.59%. The weighted-average rate is 166 basis points below the tax-equivalent yield of 7.25% on average earning assets for the year ending December 31, 2001. Rates on the advances are adjustable quarterly, should market rates increase. However, year-end rates on similar FHLB advances are 298 basis points below the rates being paid by the Bank. It is unlikely that FHLB borrowing rates will increase above the rates currently being quoted by the FHLB during 2002. Should this occur, the Bank has the option, at that time, to repay or renegotiate the advances.

At December 31, 2001, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $48,000,000 at the FHLB. The FHLB has short, medium and long-term funding products available to the Bank. Most lines of credit extended to banks by other lenders are short-term.

Balance Sheet, Assets:

Total assets of the Company increased $77,953,000 or 15.87% during 2001. The increase is the result of growth primarily in deposits and Repos, as previously discussed, and the retention of profits.

Cash and due from banks:

During the final week of December 2001, the Bank began to process its cash letter through the Federal Reserve Bank, Philadelphia, Pa., (Fed). Cash letters consists of cashed or deposited checks that are not drawn on the Bank and need to be sent for collection. The Fed was selected based on lower processing costs and improved availability of funds collection. It is estimated that the savings will approximate $30,000 annually.

While the transition was in process, correspondent bank balances ran higher than normal. This was done to insure that all processing reports were thoroughly understood in order to avoid potential overdrafts. The Bank anticipates that correspondent balances will return to historic levels during 2002.

Investments:

Total investments had an increase during 2001 of $34,218,000, net of the change in the market value of available-for-sale investments. However, the amount of net change doesn’t truly reflect the activity during 2001, which was caused by market volatility.

12


With the fall in market rates, United States Government Agency bonds of $89,295,000 and municipal securities of $3,820,000 were called during 2001. United States Government Agency bonds of $4,000,000, classified as held-to-maturity, were included in the total amount called. There were no losses incurred on any called bond.

FHLB stock of $1,793,000, net of purchases, was redeemed by the FHLB during 2001. The FHLB requires participants to purchase stock to support borrowings. The FHLB determines the amount of stock required and at times may redeem stock.

Payments on mortgaged-backed securities increased from $1,207,000 during 2000, to $2,820,000 during 2001, as a result of the decline in market rates. Included in the total were payments of $1,234,000 on held-to-maturity bonds.

In 2001, the Bank sold United States Government Agency bonds and municipal investments from the available-for-sale category, having a net book value of $12,000,000 and $2,004,000, respectively, at the time of sale. Included in that amount were securities of $7,000,000 that the Bank had for less than one year, the shortest time period being five months. The remainder had been in the investment portfolio of the Bank between one and ten years. The investments were sold to protect the Bank from call provisions, which all the investments had, and for liquidity purposes.

There were no sales of investments categorized as held-to–maturity in 2001 and there were no trading securities during 2001.

United States Government Agency bonds totaling $137,904,000, mortgage-backed securities of $7,107,000 and preferred term securities of $1,000,000 were purchased in 2001. After careful consideration of the characteristics of the individual securities and their potential reaction to market changes, $18,994,000 United States Government Agency bonds were classified as held-to-maturity. The remaining securities were classified as available-for-sale.

Of the total amount purchased, United States Government Agency bonds with a par amount totaling $33,000,000 had maturities under five years. While the rates on these bonds were less than those with longer maturities, the purchases were made taking potential future market rate changes into consideration. Should rates increase, the proceeds of these bonds at maturity could be reinvested at higher rates quicker than bonds with longer maturities.

Preferred term securities are pooled borrowings by financial institutions located within the United States. The deposits of the institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The institutions must have a five-year satisfactory operating history and tier 1 capital greater than ten percent. The securities offer a slight diversity in the investment portfolio, approximately 200 basis points above Federal Funds, floating interest rate and five-year call protection.

Classifying bonds as held-to-maturity protects the balance sheet from downward market trends that available-for-sale securities are exposed to. The decision to classify securities as available-for-sale gives the Bank greater flexibility in the management of the investment portfolio and overall liquidity management.

The Bank actively monitors depreciation in the bond portfolio. When an individual bond, classified as available-for-sale, starts to depreciate, the Bank will determine if it is advisable to sell the security and reinvest the proceeds at a higher yield. Such considerations are based on current market conditions and liquidity needs. Even though bonds in the Bank’s portfolio may depreciate in market value, the principal and interest of the United States Government Agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities and municipal investments is guaranteed by the issuer.

Investments constituted 27.06% of total assets at December 31, 2001. Held-to-maturity securities were $21,640,000. The remaining $132,334,000 of the portfolio was classified as available-for-sale.

Loans:

Gross loans increased $20,276,000 or 5.99% from $338,699,000 at December 31, 2000, to $358,975,000 at December 31, 2001. Gross loans represent 63.09% of total assets at December 31, 2001.

Loan growth was modest relative to previous years. Growth in the portfolio was slowed by the economic downturn both nationally and locally. As lending rates fell, prepayments on existing loans increased. Loans refinanced at lower rates increased the Bank’s exposure to interest-rate risk from potential market upturns. Many new and refinanced loans were classified as available-for-sale, with the intention of immediate sale. As detailed in the “Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows” contained herein, proceeds from the sale of loans in 2001 increased by $15,119,000 over 2000.

For a further discussion on these issues, see the MD&A sections entitled, “Loans available-for-sale” and “Liquidity Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity”. Additional discussion is in Note 1 “Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Loans Held for Sale”, contained within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and incorporated herein by reference.

Increases in the amount of non-performing loans and net charge-offs also reflect the economic downturn. For a further discussion of delinquencies and net charge-offs, see the MD&A section entitled “Provision for Loan Losses”. Further discussion is in Note 1 “Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Allowance for Loan Losses” and Note 5 “Loans and Leases” contained within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and incorporated herein by reference.

As a commitment to the market area, the Bank continues to seek quality loans, both commercial and consumer. However, the results of 2001 caused the Bank to review lending policies and collection efforts. Additional personnel, including a new experienced chief credit officer, were hired late in 2001, to address these concerns.

It is anticipated that the volume of prepayments and refinance requests will decrease, as rates become less volatile. Furthermore, new loans will be structured to better withstand market fluctuations and improved collection efforts should curtail serious delinquencies.

In the final analysis, the commitment of the Bank to our local communities remains strong and the Bank is sufficiently capitalized and structured to deal with these challenges.

Commercial loans at December 31, 2001 represent 49.88% of total gross loans, as compared to 43.29% at December 31, 2000. Commercial loans increased $32,433,000 or 22.12% from $146,611,000 at December 31, 2000, to $179,044,000 at December 31, 2001. The Bank increased the portfolio to improve profitability and to better service our community.

The Bank continues to originate loans using the Small Business Administration (SBA) guaranteed loan program. In return for the Bank funding a loan, which met the criteria of the program, the SBA guarantees a material portion of the principal balance to the Bank, should the borrower default.

Tax-free industrial development loans made to or backed by local municipalities increased 18.03% to $12,112,000 at December 31, 2001.

The Bank participates in the Pennsylvania Capital Access Program (PENNCAP). PENNCAP is a small business lending program whereby the State allocates a reserve fund to be used in the event the Bank were to experience a loss on a loan registered in the program. At December 31, 2001, $5,048,000 commercial loans were registered in this program. Loans registered in the PENNCAP program at December 31, 2001 increased 8.47% over the previous year-end.

The Bank continues to serve the local market with real estate loans. Real estate and construction loan totals of $102,187,000 were 28.47% of gross loans at December 31, 2001. Outstanding balances of real estate loans declined $10,727,000 since December 31, 2000.

In addition to prepayments, residential mortgages of $19,382,000, classified as available-for-sale, were sold on the secondary market. Servicing rights on sold loans were retained by the Bank. Servicing rights are retained so the borrower can still deal directly with the Bank. The loans were sold to provide the Bank with liquidity necessary to meet loan demand and to mitigate potential interest-rate risk from potential market rate increases. At December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance of sold residential mortgage loans in which the Bank retained servicing rights was $53,000,000.

Included with real estate loans are home equity lines of credit. The outstanding balance on the credit lines increased $642,000 or 12.14% from $5,289,000 at December 31, 2000 to $5,931,000 at December 31, 2001.

Consumer loans and direct-financing leases decreased $1,430,000 or 1.81% from $79,174,000 at December 31, 2000, to $77,744,000 at December 31, 2001. A combination of prepayments and the decision not to aggressively seek new leases

15


brought about this decline. Consumer loans also include credit card advances, which increased $215,000 or 7.29% to $3,162,000 at December 31, 2001.

In addition to direct issuance of credit cards, the Bank issues cards under an Affinity Credit Card program. Affinity Cards are initially offered to cardholders at below market rates for a predetermined time. After the time expires, the cards are repriced at rates usually slightly below market rates. A percent of the interest charged is donated to a named entity. Participating with the Bank in the program are:

  • Saint Joseph's Center, Dunmore, Pennsylvania
  • Cities of Pittston and West Pittston, (jointly)
  • Basilica of the National Shrine of St. Ann, Scranton, Pennsylvania

At December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance on Affinity Cards was $1,211,000, or 38.30% of the outstanding credit card portfolio. The Bank is pursuing new program participants for 2002.

A comparison of loans by amount at year-end for the five previous periods is as follows (all loans are domestic):

=================================================================================

Loans available-for sale:

Loans are classified as available-for-sale at origination. Should market rates increase, fixed rate loans and loans not immediately repricable would no longer produce yields consistent with the current market. To protect the Bank from interest-rate risk, loans meeting these conditions may be classified as saleable. Certain consideration is also given to current liquidity needs.

Fees or costs associated with loan originations are capitalized and charged or credited to loan income over the term of the loan. The measures apply to both available-for-sale and held-to- maturity loans.

Saleable loans are carried on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or fair value. If the fair value falls below cost, the difference is charged to current earnings. Appreciation in the portfolio is credited to current earnings, only to the extent of previous write-downs below cost.

Due to the falling rate environment experienced in 2001, the Bank increased loans available-for-sale by $6,196,000 or 62.25% to $16,150,000 at December 31, 2001 due to concern of potential interest-rate risk.

Bank premises and equipment, net:

Additions to premises and equipment were $1,224,000 before depreciation of $1,101,000 in 2001. Improvements to and equipping the new Kingston branch accounted for $718,000 of the increase. The remainder was used for system improvements and the expansion of the ATM network.

Foreclosed assets held for sale:

The $335,000 increase was primarily due to repossessed vehicles and from vehicles returned at the expiration of direct financing lease agreements.

The year 2000

Balance Sheet Liabilities


Personal DDAs increased $2,141,000 or 12.49% from $17,158,000 at December 31, 1999, to $19,299,000 at December 31, 2000. During 2000, the Bank accepted personal deposits of $13,000 from internet-generated accounts.

Commercial DDAs and Public Fund DDAs grew $3,812,000 or 20.75% from $18,368,000 at December 31, 1999, to $22,180,000 at December 31, 2000. Commercial deposits grew as a result of increased commercial lending relationships and the successful marketing of Bank products designed for the commercial segment.

Official Bank checks issued and outstanding increased $3,991,000 from $1,716,000 at December 31, 1999, to $5,707,000 at December 31, 2000.

As a net result of these changes noninterest-bearing deposits grew $9,944,000 or 26.70% from $37,242,000 at December 31, 1999, to $47,186,000 at December 31, 2000. The increase in non interest-bearing deposits represents 22.13% of the growth in total deposits during 2000.

Interest-bearing deposits increased $34,999,000 or 13.61% from $257,126,000 at December 31, 1999, to $292,125,000 at December 31, 2000.

NOW accounts increased $7,434,000 or 24.16% during 2000. The growth was based on the tiered Super NOW account that has a monthly interest rate based on a discount of the most current auction of the 13-week United State Treasury bill. During 1999, NOW accounts increased $16,014,000. During 2000, the Bank accepted deposits of $37,000 from internet-generated accounts.

Money market deposit accounts and savings accounts declined $10,004,000 or 17.69%. During 1999, these deposits grew $7,388,000. The decrease, during 2000, in money market and savings deposits was caused in part by the transfer of funds into the higher rate NOW accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs).

CDs rose $37,540,000 or 22.27%. Personal CDs grew $13,090,000 or 9.38%. Non-personal CDs grew $16,642,000 or 138.17%. Public fund CDs increased $7,808,000 or 46.06% over year-end 1999. During 2000 the Bank accepted brokered deposits of $9,851,000 for liquidity purposes. The Bank also accepted $8,190,000 in new CDs from the internet.

At the end of 2000, total deposits had grown $44,943,000 or 15.27% from $294,367,000 at December 31, 1999, to $339,310,000 at December 31, 2000.

The success at gathering new deposits by branch expansion is evidenced by the deposit totals at the locations opened during the last twenty-four months. Total deposits at the three branches opened during 1999 increased $13,489,000 during 2000. The Peckville office, in eleven months, had deposit totals of $9,410,000 at December 31, 2000. Those branches contributed 50.97% of the total growth in deposits during 2000.

Short-term Borrowings:

Having successfully passed the advent of “Year 2000", the Bank reduced short-term borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) by $19,650,000, from $30,600,000 at December 31, 1999, to $10,950,000 at December 31, 2000. Repurchase Agreements (Repos) are included with short-term borrowings, on the balance sheet. Repos increased

18


$7,500,000 or 26.33% from $28,487,000 at December 31, 1999, to $35,987,000 at December 31, 2000. Sweep accounts comprise approximately 70% of Repos.

Long-term debt:

The Bank repaid maturing long-term debt of $1,305,000 at the FHLB in 2000. As interest rates increased during 2000, the Bank restructured $41,000,000 variable rate long-term debt at the FHLB. The purpose of the restructure was to minimize the increase in interest expense. Another $7,000,000 was borrowed in long-term funds from the FHLB to fund loan demand and for other liquidity needs. The weighted-average rate on funds borrowed at December 31, 2000 was 5.59%. The weighted-average rate is 236 basis points below the tax equivalent yield of 7.95% on average earning assets for the month ending December 31, 2000.

Balance sheet Assets:

Total assets of the Company increased $44,508,000 or 9.97% during 2000. The increase is the result of growth in the liability section, as previously discussed and the retention of profits.

Cash and Due from Banks:

At December 31, 1999, total cash and due from banks was $17,957,000. This amount was established to provide additional liquidity in the event of any Year 2000 problems. Of that amount $11,542,000 was in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Home Loan Bank. Having successfully passed year-end 1999, the Bank reduced the level of additional cash and cash equivalents by $9,178,000 at December 31, 2000, to more historic levels. The funds were used to paydown short-term borrowings.

Investments:

Total investments had an increase during 2000 of $10,494,000, net of the change in the market value of available-for-sale investments.

United States Government Agency bonds totaling $4,000,000 par value, having a weighted average rate of 8.01%, and Pennsylvania municipal bonds with a par value of $1,860,00 and a weighted average tax-equivalent rate of 8.02%, were purchased in 2000. The investments were classified as available-for-sale.

The Bank sold certain qualifying residential mortgage loans totaling $8,329,000 to FNMA and immediately repurchased the assets as investments (mortgage backed securities). The purpose of this strategy was threefold:

  1. The principal and interest is guaranteed by FNMA, thereby mitigating any potential loss of repayment.
  2. The investments are eligible to be pledged for Public Fund deposits.
  3. The Bank retained servicing rights. This means the borrower still deals directly with the Bank and the Bank receives a fee for servicing the loans.

Since it was determined that the securities would not be sold in the future, the Bank classified them as held-to–maturity. This classification protects the balance sheet from downward market trends that available-for-sale securities are exposed to.

Municipal securities and other investments of $1,898,000 were purchased in 2000. Those assets were categorized as available-for-sale. One municipal security of $150,000 was called in 2000.

19


In 2000, the Bank sold municipal investments from the available-for-sale category having a net book value of $7,466,000 at the time of sale. Included in that amount were securities of $1,412,000 that the Bank had for less than one year, the shortest time period being six months. The remainder had been assets of the Bank between two and nine years. The investments were sold to protect the Bank from call provisions, which all the investments had, and for liquidity purposes.

There were no sales of investments categorized as held-to-maturity during 2000 and there are no trading securities in 2000.

Investments constituted 24.39% of total assets at December 31, 2000. Held-to maturity securities were $7,879,000. The remaining $111,877,000 of the portfolio was classified as available-for-sale. The decision to classify securities as available-for-sale gives the Bank greater flexibility in the management of the investment portfolio.

The tax equivalent yield on debt securities by stated maturity date at December 31, 2000, is as follows (yields are based on amortized cost):

Loans:

Gross loans increased $38,351,000 or 12.77% from $300,348,000 in 1999, to $338,699,000 in 2000. Gross loans represent 68.97% of total assets at December 31, 2000.

Commercial loans at December 31, 2000 represent 43.29% of total gross loans, as compared to 37.64% at December 31, 1999. Commercial loans increased $33,550,000 or 29.67% from $113,061,000 at December 31, 1999, to $146,611,000 at December 31, 2000. The Bank increased the portfolio to improve profitability and to better service our community.

At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance of SBA loans was $4,904,000, a 12.26% increase over 1999.

Tax-free industrial development loans made to or backed by local municipalities increased 41.72% to $10,262,000 at December 31, 2000.

Throughout the year, the Bank has worked closely with Northeast Pennsylvania Economic Development Council, City of Scranton Office of Economic Community Development and the Pennsylvania Economic Development Finance.

Real estate and construction loans of $112,914,000 were 33.34% of gross loans at December 31, 2000. While the outstanding balance of real estate loans at December 31, 2000 were $3,664,000 less than the balances at December 31, 1999, several factors must be considered. As detailed in the discussion of investments, fixed rate residential mortgages of

20


$8,329,000 were securitized through FNMA and reclassified as investments. In addition, residential mortgages of $8,383,000 were sold on the secondary market, with the Bank retaining the servicing rights. The loans were sold to provide the Bank with liquidity necessary to meet loan demand.

Included with real estate loans are home equity lines of credit. The outstanding balance on the credit lines increased $829,000 or 18.59% from $4,460,000 at December 31, 1999, to $5,289,000 at December 31, 2000.

Consumer loans increased $1,443,027 or 2.22% from $64,998,000 at December 31, 1999, to $66,441,000 at December 31, 2000. The largest portion of consumer loans are simple interest loans secured by vehicles. At December 31, 2000 auto loans were $28,045,000.

During 2000, the Bank sold $7,000,000 loans secured by vehicles that had been initiated by car dealers. The Bank reviewed the loans in an attempt to retain the borrowers who had other relationships with the Bank. The loans were sold without recourse and servicing rights. The loans were sold to provide liquidity.

Credit card outstanding balances increased $1,450,000 or 96.82% from $1,497,00 at December 31, 1999, to $2,947,000 at December 31, 2000.

In 2000, the Bank started an Affinity Credit Card program. At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance on Affinity Cards was $1,264,000.

Direct financing leases increased $7,022,000 or 122.97% from $5,711,000 at December 31, 1999, to $12,733,000 at December 31, 2000. The growth primarily resulted from increased demand from auto dealers for consumer auto leases.

There are no concentrations of loans to a number of borrowers engaged in similar activities exceeding 10% of total loans that are not otherwise disclosed as a category in tables above.

The Bank sold residential real estate mortgage loans in 2000. At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance of sold residential mortgage loans in which the Bank retained servicing rights was $42,631,000.

The following table sets forth the maturity distribution of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2000. Excluded from the table are real estate loans, consumer loans and direct financing leases (amounts in thousands):

Fixed Assets:

Fixed asset additions were $2,930,000 in 2000.

Main Office and KIP renovations were $1,393,000 and $393,000 respectively. The renovations were made to modernize and improve both facilities. Another $55,000 was capitalized for system upgrades and furniture at the newly remodeled KIP branch.

The Bank acquired a commercial property in Dunmore, Pennsylvania for future expansion. The acquisition cost was $128,000.

Leasehold improvements of $198,000 and furniture and fixture additions of $120,000 were needed to open the new Peckville branch.

Additions to furniture and fixtures for system hardware and software requirements were $363,000 during 2000.

Other Assets:

Due to the market appreciation of available-for-sale investments, the deferred tax asset of $2,408,000 at December 31, 1999, was reduced $1,725,000 to $683,000 at December 31, 2000.

Mortgage servicing rights increased $129,000 from $123,000 at December 31, 1999 to $252,000 at December 31, 2000, due to the mortgages sold during 2000.

Capital Resources

The Bank’s major source of capital has been from the retention of earnings, as reflected below:

                                                Net                    Dividends                  Earnings
                                              Income                    Declared                  Retained
                                              ------                    --------                  --------
2001                                        $3,848,136                 $1,426,097                $2,422,039
2000                                         3,182,628                  1,366,075                 1,816,553
1999                                         3,797,693                  1,344,141                 2,453,552
1998                                         3,535,889                  1,200,409                 2,335,480
1997                                         3,290,674                  1,062,530                 2,228,144


Capital was further increased in 2001, through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP). Shareholders reinvested $420,000 in dividends to purchase additional shares of stock.

The reinvestment in 2001 was greater than 2000 but more in line with 1999. During 2000, the Bank’s DRIP ended when it merged with the Company. The Company had to receive regulatory approval for its own DRIP and during the process two dividend payments were disbursed. After the approval was granted, shareholders had to apply to become part of the Company’s DRIP.

22


Capital was affected by changes in market rates, which caused a $63,000 improvement, net of deferred taxes, in the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale. At December 31, 2000, the Bank reported a net unrealized loss on AFS securities of $1,325,000. At December 31, 2001, the loss was reduced to $1,262,000.

Fluctuations in the capital markets cause frequent changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities. A future decline in value should not indicate a material weakness in the capital position of the Company. The Company monitors market conditions closely and is prepared to take remedial action when appropriate.

Capital is evaluated in relation to total assets and the risk associated with those assets. With greater capital resources, a bank is more likely to be able to meet its cash obligations and absorb unforeseen losses. Federal regulatory definitions of capital adequacy take the form of minimum ratios. The Bank exceeds all minimum regulatory capital requirements (see Note 15 “Regulatory Matters”, contained within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and incorporated herein by reference).

Earning assets do not include loans placed on non-accrual.

Liquidity Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity:

Liquidity and funds management:

Liquidity for a bank is primarily the ability to meet working capital requirements and to fund customers’ needs for borrowings and withdrawals. The Bank further desires to have funds available at certain times to take advantage of appropriate investment opportunities. Other considerations include capital expansion, dividend payments and unforeseen events. Sources of liquidity are:

  • Cash and cash equivalents
  • Asset maturities, paydowns and sales
  • Growth of core deposits
  • Growth of repurchase agreements
  • Increase of other borrowed funds
  • Issuance of capital stock

Normally, long-term borrowed funds and stock issuance are used for long-term asset acquisitions or capital considerations and not for short-term liquidity needs.

Management monitors asset and liability maturities to match anticipated cash flow requirements. These cash flow requirements are reviewed with the use of internally generated reports. The Bank has instituted certain procedures and policy guidelines to manage interest-rate risk. These guidelines enable management to react to interest rate changes and potential shifts in the volumes of assets and liabilities. One objective is to insulate the net interest margin from

23


significant fluctuations. Included in these guidelines are tolerance levels that specify the percentage of asset paydowns and maturities to potential liability maturities and runoff.

The intent of the Bank is to maintain a cumulative gap (rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities) ratio, over a one year time horizon, between 0.75 and 1.25. At December 31, 2001, the ratio was 0.96. That ratio was arrived at by scheduling investments by call date and liabilities by expected maturity or repricing dates.

Under current market conditions, it was felt that certain securities in the investment portfolio, which had the potential to be called prior to stated maturity, were more likely than not to be called. Even though it is believed that market rates will not significantly change during 2002, many of the investments have rates above the current market and this makes it more likely such securities will be called by the issuers sometime before their scheduled maturity dates.

Loans were scheduled by cash flow projections to the date of maturity or the date of next rate change. Loans available-for-sale were scheduled by stated maturity dates.

Over the years, the Bank has sold fixed-rate mortgage loans to the secondary market. The decision to pursue this course of action was based upon two parameters:

  • Meeting liquidity of borrowers and depositors
  • Mitigating the interest-rate and credit risk inherent in fixed rate loans

The following chart depicts the contractual maturity and repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets. When evaluating interest-rate risk, the data is refined to include optionality. Such analysis takes into account call features, cash flows, prepayment assumptions and other factors, which may affect the rate sensitivity of the assets (amounts in thousands of dollars):

======================================================================================================================

Nonaccrual loans of $4,914,000 and investments in common stock of $3,785,000 at December 31, 2001 are not included in the maturity distribution table. Loans include those designated as available-for-sale.

Earning assets are based on book value. Book value is net of unrealized losses in the available-for-sale investment portfolio. The total of net unrealized losses in the portfolio before federal taxes is $1,912,000. The net loss reflects the December 31, 2001 market value of the available-for sale investment portfolio. If held until maturity, the Bank would receive full face value.

Scheduling investments by call dates and using amortized cost instead of market values on available-for-sale investments would make the presentation more asset-sensitive in the earlier gap periods.

24


Investments with call provisions are likely to be called in a downward rate environment. Fixed rate investments of $111,900,000, subject to call during 2002, have maturity dates exceeding one year. Of that amount, $37,000,000 have rates of 6.50% or more which would greatly increase the potential for these bonds to be called, based on year-end rates.

Loans due to mature in one year or less do not include principal reductions on fixed rate loans and leases that historically prepay in a downward rate environment.

The following chart depicts the contractual maturity and repricing characteristics of liabilities with either a defined maturity or repricing schedule. Non-maturity deposits are based on an aging schedule. In evaluating interest-rate risk, data may be refined depending on the anticipated direction of interest rates, expected shifts in volume and other factors which may affect the specific liability’s rate sensitivity.

Liabilities not having stated maturity dates have been scheduled based upon an aging of the liabilities. The time frames relied upon suggest that the liabilities will have the potential to possibly reprice to current market rates or be withdrawn within the stated period.

For example, at December 31, 2001, the one-year cumulative gap shows that $8,566,000 noninterest-bearing deposits will payout over the next twelve months. In reality, non interest-bearing deposits grew $6,210,000 during 2001. Historical data suggests that the Bank will not experience appreciable repricing or runoff of these non interest-bearing accounts over the course of the next twelve months.

At December 31, 2001, the Bank had the following additional sources of funds, which totaled $76,967,000, available to meet liquidity requirements:

  • Borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia of $29,250,000
  • Available funding at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh of $47,717,000

Because more investments were pledged for public funds and Repos than was necessary at December 31, 2001, the available amount at the Fed could be increased approximately $6,576,000.

Management continually monitors the gaps between assets and liabilities and makes adjustments as market rates change. Presently Management believes that there is adequate liquidity to meet normal requirements.

Interest rate risk management:

Interest-rate risk management is an integral part of the Asset/ Liability management process. The management of and authority to assume interest-rate risk is the responsibility of the Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO). ALCO is

comprised of senior management and the Board of Directors. ALCO meets quarterly to monitor the ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities. The process to review interest rate risk is a regular part of the management of the Company. Consistent policies to measure and report interest-rate risk are in effect. In addition, policies are reviewed annually by the committee. The annual review establishes acceptable limits on the impact to earnings from shifts in interest rates. These limits may be altered during the year, if so warranted.

Interest-rate risk is defined as the degree to which interest rate movements may affect net interest income, net income and the balance sheet. Fluctuations in rates can affect both interest income and interest expense through the balance of repricing assets and source funds. In addition, changes in interest rates may affect the volume of various assets and liabilities.

If more assets reprice than liabilities within a given time horizon, the balance sheet is positively gapped. This position suggests that the net interest margin and net income would be positively impacted should interest rates rise. Conversely, the net interest margin would be adversely affected should rates fall.

If the balance sheet has more liabilities repricing than assets within a given time horizon, the balance sheet is liability sensitive and negatively gapped. In a declining rate environment, this suggests that net interest income has the potential to improve but with rising rates, net interest income has the potential to decrease.

The Bank uses a simulation model, which attempts to measure the impact changes in rates and/or volumes may have on net interest income, net income and capital adequacy. The model measures the impact of changing interest rates for several scenarios. The following table illustrates the theoretical impact of interest rate changes. The rate movements shown below represent parallel shifts in the yield curve, occurring immediately and lasting for the twelve-month projection.

The analysis assumes that December 31, 2001 levels of assets and liabilities will grow by approximately nine percent over the next twelve months. In the normal course of events, balance sheet growth during a given twelve-month period is anticipated. Growth will affect both revenues and expense. Generally, a higher rate of growth will produce higher levels of net revenues. On a year to year basis, the average rate of the Bank’s growth over the past five years has been slightly above twenty percent. The Bank considers growth of nine percent to be a conservative estimate of how much the Bank will grow in size by the end of 2002. The relative mix of assets and liabilities should remain constant in 2002.

The interest rate movements are immediate and the revenue impacts are estimated for the subsequent twelve-month period.

The table below shows the increase or (decrease) from 2001 reported figures that would occur under the interest rate changes over a twelve-month period beginning January 1, 2002:

At January 1, 2002, if there was an immediate 200 basis point increase in all market interest rates, net interest income is projected to increase by $1,242,000 over the next twelve months, a 8.00% increase from 2001‘s net interest income. The present value of Bank capital is projected to increase 19.00% to $47,805,000.

If there were an immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates, net interest income is projected to increase $932,000 or 6.00% over twelve months. The present value of the Bank’s capital is projected to decrease 24.00% to $30,531,000.

The reason for earnings improvement under both 200 basis point scenarios is twofold. Historically, when rates increase, the Bank immediately raises borrowing rates and seeks opportunities in the bond market to improve net interest income. Rates on interest-bearing liabilities may be gradually increased, depending on funding requirements. Conversely, when rates decline the Bank is more likely to decrease liability rates before it decreases rates on new loans.

Secondly, the weighted average rate on term deposits and Repos of $190,739,000, maturing within twelve months, was 4.08% at December 31, 2001. The Bank’s offering rate for CDs at December 31, 2001 was 2.25%. If rates went up 200 basis points CDs would be costing approximately the same as at year-end and rates on interest-bearing assets would have increased.

Therefore, under either 200 basis point scenario the Bank is able to improve net interest income.

The same does not hold true should rates drop 400 basis points. At December 31, 2001, non-term interest-bearing deposits of $76,981,000 were at rates of 1.67% or less. It would not be possible to reduce those deposit rates a full 400 basis points at this point in the economic cycle.

The interest rate changes described above are extreme. However, the market events of 2001 proved that rates can move dramatically over the course of twelve months. While the decrease in national prime occurred not immediately but with eleven reductions, prime was reduced 475 basis points.

The projections require a variety of assumptions, including but not limited to prepayment speeds on assets, and, as such, the results should be viewed as approximations. It should be noted that, while the reader is cautioned that these are approximations of possible but not certain events, the December 31, 2000 projection for 2001 net interest income in a 400 basis point declining rate environment was within 96% of actual results.

Should changing interest rates have a negative effect on the financial position of the Bank, prompt corrective measures would be undertaken to minimize any adverse impact.

The percent change in the present value of equity in either an upward or downward 200 basis point shift is within the Bank’s tolerance level of 25%.

The severity of the decrease in the present value of equity in a 400 basis point rate decrease relates to the inability to reduce all interest-bearing liabilities the full 400 basis points. The market value of assets would theoretically increase since rates on assets would either be at or above the current market. With the inability to effectively reduce rates on all interest-bearing liabilities, the liabilities would be above market rates and overvalued. The overvaluation of the liabilities would be deducted from equity to bring that combined section into balance with assets.

Although interest rates have the potential to change appreciably over the course of a year, it is unlikely that some of the more extreme rate changes depicted in the table above will occur, given current market conditions.

Net Interest Income:

The year 2001 as compared to 2000

The Federal Reserve Bank lowered the discount rate eleven times in 2001. The discount rate is the rate at which the Federal Reserve Bank lends overnight funds to banks. In response to these actions, national prime dropped 475 basis points from 9.50% to 4.75%.

There is a 234 basis point differential between the weighted average of national prime in 2001 and 2000. The weighted average of national prime in 2001 and 2000 was 6.90% and 9.24%, respectively. This difference reflects on the yield on earning assets and the cost of funds when comparing both years.

The actions of the Federal Reserve Bank caused decreases in the rates charged on loans that were subject to repricing and on the rates offered on new loans in 2001. Approximately 23% of the entire loan portfolio was subject to immediate repricing at December 31, 2001. Rates charged on new loans paralleled the reductions in prime. Sales of older loans contributed to the decline in the overall yield on loans.

Market reaction to the drop in prime significantly increased the amount of bonds called during 2001. To properly collateralize public fund deposits and Repos, the Bank had to replace the called bonds with bonds producing a lower yield.

Excess funds from asset turnover and the increase of liabilities were sold daily. The rates on these “Fed funds sold” were at historic lows.

Due to the combination of these factors, the tax equivalent yield on earning assets decreased 58 basis points.

Interest expense was also effected by the decline in national prime. In addition to the drop in rates paid on deposits and Repos, the Bank used the increase in funds to payoff $10,950,000 in short-term borrowings at the FHLB, further reducing interest expense. There were rate promotions at the new Kingston branch to develop deposit growth. This had minimal effect on the overall reduction of interest expense.

The effect of market changes caused a 72 basis point decrease in the cost of funds.

With the 14 basis point increase in the tax-equivalent net interest spread and volume increases in loans and investments, net interest income rose $1,909,000 or 14.02% during 2001.

28


The year 2000 as compared to 1999

During 2000, the Federal Reserve Bank raised the discount rate three times. These actions caused national prime to increase from 8.50% to 9.50%. The weighted average rate of national prime rose 124 basis points.

The actions of the Federal Reserve Bank caused increases in the rates charged on loans that were subject to repricing and on the rates offered on new loans in 2000. Approximately 18% of the entire loan portfolio was subject to immediate repricing at December 31, 2000.

To remain competitive, the rates charged on new residential mortgages and consumer loans did not rise directly with the increases in prime. New products, such as the Affinity Card, were offered at discounts from established Bank products.

With the increase in national prime, it became difficult to sell from the inventory of fixed rate residential loans at a break even level. The sale of loans provides a source of funds that can then be loaned at a higher yield in a rising rate market.

In the preceding year, the Bank realized a significant increase in short-term public fund deposits and Repos. To properly secure these deposits, the Bank purchased callable fixed rate bonds. When rates increased, the bonds were not called, as the issuers took advantage of the lower cost of borrowings.

Due to the combination of these factors, the Bank was only able to recognize a 35 basis point improvement in the tax equivalent yield on earning assets.

In order to provide the liquidity to meet loan demand and thereby improve the yield on earning assets, the Bank began to raise the interest rates paid on deposits and Repos. Interest expense was also effected by a rise in the rates charged on borrowed funds. In addition, the cost of funds was increased by deposit promotions, including the Super NOW and internet-generated deposit accounts and the acceptance of brokered funds.

The effect of these increases caused an 80 basis point increase in the cost of funds.

Despite a 45 basis point reduction in tax-equivalent net interest spread, net interest income rose $452,000 or 3.44% during 2000. This was primarily accomplished through volume increases in loans and investments.

Interest income was adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis to recognize the income from tax-exempt assets as if the interest was taxable. This treatment allows a uniform comparison to be made between yields on assets. The calculations were computed on a fully tax-equivalent basis using the corporate federal tax rate of 34%.

Nonaccrual loans and any related interest recorded have been included in computing the average rate earned on the loan portfolio. Installment loans and direct financing leases are presented net of unearned interest. All deposits are in domestic bank offices. The average balances are based on amortized cost and do not reflect unrealized gains or losses.

Net yield on earning assets represents the difference between interest revenue and (expense) divided by total average earning assets.

The following table reflects the change in net interest income attributable to fluctuations in volume and rate:

The portion of the total difference attributable to both volume and rate changes during the periods has been allocated to the volume and rate components based upon the absolute dollar amount of the change in each component prior to the allocation. Tax- exempt income was not converted to a tax-equivalent basis on the rate volume analysis.

Provision for Loan Losses:

The provision is an expense charged against earnings for actual or potential losses from uncollectible loans and leases. Through the provision, the allowance for loan loss is funded. Loans determined to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance.

The Bank has established an Asset Quality Committee which meets monthly to review known and potential problem loans and leases. The committee is comprised of senior management, credit administration and collection personnel. The committee reports quarterly to the Credit Administration Committee of the Board of Directors.

Management continuously reviews the risks inherent in the loan and lease portfolios. Specific factors used to evaluate the adequacy of the loan loss provision during this formal process include:

  • Specific loans that could have loss potential
  • Levels of and trends in delinquencies and non accrual loans
  • Levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries
  • Trends in volume and terms of loans
  • Changes in risk selection and underwriting standards
  • Changes in lending policies, procedures and practices
  • Experience, ability and depth of lending management
  • National and local economic trends and conditions
  • Changes in credit concentrations
31


The Bank does not have significant concentrations of loans in specific industries or outside the Northeastern Pennsylvania geographic area. For the period ended December 31, 2001, there were no adjustments made to the historical loan loss experience for the factors specified above. There are no individual significant nonperforming loans.

As evidenced in the table above, there has been no significant difference between the additions charged to operations and actual net charge-off results over the last five years.

The allowance for loan losses can generally absorb losses throughout the loan and lease portfolios. However, in some instances an allocation is made for specific loans or groups of loans.

As detailed in the table above, the allowance for loan loss expressed as a percent of net charge-offs has been declining for the past two years due to the increase in the amount of loans being charged off.

The slowing economy has impacted the loan portfolio the past two years. That trend is reflected in the increase in charged-off loans, especially commercial and consumer. The increase in the number of delinquencies necessitated the hiring of additional collection personnel.

Allocation of the allowance among major categories of loans for the past five years is summarized below. This table should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will occur in these amounts or proportions, or that the allocation indicates future charge-off trends.

Consumer loans include credit cards.

The December 31, 2000 allocation for commercial loans was $2,271,000 compared to actual 2001 net charge-offs of $917,000. The positive variance was the result of collection efforts in 2001. The 2001 commercial loan allocation is based upon delinquency levels at year-end.

The December 31, 2000 allocation for all other categories of loans and leases was adequate compared to the actual net charge-offs in 2001.

Over the last five years, management has analyzed and relied on similar factors in determining the amount of loan loss provision relative to the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss. The methodology used by the bank to analyze the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is as follows (loans and leases are collectively referred to as loans):

  • Identification of specific problem loans by loan category by the credit administration.
  • Calculation of specific reserves required based on collateral and other persuasive evidence.
  • Identification of loans collateralized by cash.
  • Determination of remaining homogenous pools by loan category and eliminating loans collateralized by cash and loans with specific reserves.
  • Application of historical loss percentages (5- year average) to pools to determine the reserve allocation.
  • Calculation of excess or deficiency of the allowance for loan loss reserve

Allocation of the allowance for loan losses for different categories of loans is based on the methodology used by the Bank, as explained above. The changes in the allocations from year to years is based upon year end reviews of the loan and lease portfolios.

Net loans include loans available-for-sale.

Gross interest income that would have been recorded in 2001, if nonaccrual loans were current, was $386,717. There was no recognition of interest income on non-accrual loans during 2001.

Payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized on a cash basis. Payments are first applied against the outstanding principal balance until the balance is satisfied. Subsequent payments are then recorded as interest income and finally late charges.

In the internal review of loans for both delinquency and collateral sufficiency, management concluded that there were an above average number of loans that lacked the ability to repay in accordance with contractual terms. The decision to place loans or leases on a non-accrual basis is made on an individual basis after considering factors pertaining to the loan.

In addition, it was determined throughout the year there were other loans that did not have the ability to make any repayment. Accordingly, management found it necessary to charge-off $2,211,000 of these loans and to increase the allowance for loan loss for certain other loans. The charge-offs were made after collateral was repossessed, foreclosed upon or notice was forwarded to governmental guarantors. The allowance for loan loss was increased through the provision for loan loss. Even with these actions, the percentage of non-performing loans to net loans increased from 1.10% at December 31, 2000, to 2.79% at December 31, 2001.

The majority of the increase in non-performing loans and loans past due 90 days or more for the period is attributed to credit made to small businesses and start-up companies that experienced cash flow problems. Several of these loans are guaranteed by governmental agencies and the Bank’s loss exposure is reduced accordingly. Consumer loan payments have also slowed during the year and increased collection efforts have been implemented to reduce delinquencies.

A specific reserve through PENNCAP has been established for eligible loans to cover losses sustained by the Bank on enrolled loans. The reserve balance at December 31, 2001 was $91,0000.

The Bank is unaware of any potential problem loans that have not been reviewed and addressed. Potential problem

34


loans are those where there is known information that leads the Bank to believe repayment of principal and/or interest is in jeopardy and the loans are neither non-accrual nor past due 90 days or more.

Based upon the thorough analysis of both the loan portfolio and the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2001, the Bank is confident that the allowance provides adequate protection against portfolio loss. However, there could be instances of which the Bank is unaware that may require additional charge-offs and or increases to the provision.

Other Income

The year 2001 as compared to 2000


The $94,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts is a result of the growth in the number of accounts and changes to the service charge structure. Service charges were last revised during the second quarter of 2000. Service charges on deposit accounts exceeded 1.00% of gross income.

The Bank sold investment securities in order to protect earnings from potential calls. Waiting for a bond to be called under the prevailing market conditions would have exposed the Bank to reinvesting the proceeds at lower yields. By selling before call, the Bank was able to reinvest the proceeds at a higher rate with an extended call period. The sales produced a gain of $459,000, which exceeded 1.00% of gross income.

Included in the gains on sold investments was $225,000 from the sale of Sallie Mae stock. At one time that banks were required to own the stock if they desired to participate in the student loan program. Banks are no longer required to own the stock in order to participate.

There were no sales of investments classified as held-to-maturity.

As discussed in previous sections herein, loan sales were also based upon the need to protect future earnings from interest-rate risk. Loan sales generated net gains of $315,000 in 2001. That amount was increased by the recognition of the discounted future value of servicing rights on sold loans. The amount of realized income from servicing rights, included in total net gains from the sale of loans, was $117,000.

There were no sales of loans classified as held-to-maturity.

The increase in loans before the allowance for loan losses, helped to generate an additional $138,000 in service charges during 2001. Service charges on loans are classified as a component of fees and other service charges. Service charges are recognized as income upon collection.

Some components of fees and other service charges and other operating income and their related increase during 2001:

                                                          Increase
                                                          --------
                  Service fees on sold loans              $114,000
                  Trust income                              77,000
                  Annuity commissions                       66,000
                  ATM service charges                       55,000

Fees on sold loans rose through volume increases.

Expanding business in the trust department increased revenues.

35


Late in 2000, a new business development officer was hired to accommodate the sale of alternative financial products. Those products include mutual funds and annuities, which are not insured by the FDIC. An additional staff member was hired in 2001. Their combined efforts generated increased revenues.

The new ATM locations generated additional service charge income.

The year 2000 as compared to 1999

The $248,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts is a result of the growth in the number of accounts and changes to the service charge structure.

Investment securities were sold in order to provide liquidity when needed. By providing funds for loan demand, the Bank improved its yield on earning assets. The 2000 tax equivalent yield on average loans and investments was 7.92% and 6.51%, respectively. Sales of available-for-sale investments produced net gains of $41,000. There were no sales of investments classified as held-to-maturity.

Loan sales were also predicated upon liquidity needs. Sales generated net gains of $62,000 in 2000. That amount was increased by the recognition of the discounted future value of servicing rights on sold loans. The amount of realized income from servicing rights was $149,000.

In compliance with FASB Statement No. 65, loans designated as available-for-sale must be carried at the lower of cost or market. By the end of 2000, the market value slightly surpassed book value and the Bank was able to recoup the $146,000 which it had written down during 1999, when the market value was below book.

The $57,980,000 increase in loans, before the allowance for loan losses, helped to generate an additional $185,000 in service charges.

Some components of fees and other service charges and other operating income and their related increase during 2000:


                                                              Increase
                                                              --------
                  ATM service charges                         $109,000
                  Fees on sold loans                            49,000
                  Checkbook fees                                47,000
                  Merchant credit card income                   47,000

Fees on sold loans, merchant credit card income and checkbook fees rose through volume increases.

The new branch locations and issued card increases helped to generate additional income from ATM service charges.

Other Expense

The year 2001 as compared to 2000


The average number of full-time equivalent employees was 168 in 2001. Merit pay raises, higher benefit costs and the addition of senior officers to address the growing needs of the Bank increased 2001 salaries and employee benefits by $508,000 above the amount reported for 2000.

36


During 2001, the Peckville office, opened in February 2000, was operating for a full twelve months. The Kingston office was opened for nine months. The impact of these branches contributed to a $172,000 increase in premises and equipment expense during 2001. Over 32% of the increase resulted from a $55,000 rise in depreciation expense. Depreciation on premises was $326,000 and depreciation on furniture and fixtures was $775,000. Furniture and fixture depreciation exceeded 1% of gross income.

Despite the addition of the Kingston branch new branch advertising decreased 3.00% from 2000.

Some components of other expense and their change during 2001:

                                                        Increase/

                  Donations                               190,000
                  Fidelity D&D Bancorp organization      (150,000)
                  Stationery and supplies                 (99,000)
                  Capital shares tax                      (70,000)

                  MAC expense                              58,000

During 2001, the Bank sold its merchant credit card portfolio. This resulted in savings of $209,000.

Under a state-sponsored initiative, the Bank contributed $111,000 to a specified qualified local educational unit. In exchange for the donation the Bank received state tax credits of $100,000 which were applied towards capital shares expense.

The Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. organization resulted in a one time expense of $150,000 in 2000. No such expense was incurred during 2001.

With the reduction of new branch additions in 2001 and tighter purchasing controls, stationery and supply expense was reduced.

Charges from correspondents for the processing of the Bank’s cash letter constitute the majority of this expense. Because of increased costs, the Bank elected to process its cash letter through the Fed in order to reduce costs.

Additional ATM units placed in service during 2001 increased expense.

The year 2000 as compared to 1999

The average number of full-time equivalent employees increased by 10 to 166 in 2000. The 6% average staff increase, merit pay raises and higher benefit costs increased 2000 salaries and employee benefits by $424,000 above the amount reported for 1999.

During 2000, the West Pittston, Financial Center and Moosic retail branches were opened for a full twelve months. The Peckville office was opened for eleven months. The impact of these branches contributed to a $621,000 increase in premises and equipment expense during 2000. Over 45% of the increase resulted from a $283,000 rise in depreciation. Depreciation on premises was $292,000 and depreciation on furniture and fixtures was $754,000. Furniture and fixture depreciation exceeded 1% of gross income.

37


Advertising expense of $398,000 exceeded 1% of gross income during 2000. However, despite the addition of a new branch during 2000, advertising remained relatively unchanged from 1999.

Some components of other expense and their increases during 2000:


                                                              Increase
                                                              --------
                  FDIC insurance assessment                  $ 33,000
                  Audit                                        52,000
                  Legal and professional                       77,000

                  Postage                                      35,000
                  Consumer leasing                             81,000
                  Donations                                    34,000
                  Credit information                           30,000
                  MAC expense                                  41,000

The Fidelity D&D Bancorp, Inc. organization resulted in a one time expense of $150,000. The organization also caused expense increases in other areas. Among those line items effected were audit, $11,000 and legal and professional, $74,000.

The 123% growth in direct financing leases caused related insurance coverage to rise $81,000. The other items rose due to the increase in the number of Bank locations and accounts serviced.

Other Items:

Federal and State Legislation:


From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation have been proposed that could result in additional regulations and restrictions on the business of the company and the Bank. We cannot predict whether legislation will be adopted, or if adopted, how the new laws would affect our business. As a consequence, we are susceptible to legislation that may increase the cost of doing business. Management believes that the effects of current proposals on the liquidity, capital resources and the results of operations of the Company and the Bank will be immaterial.

Management is unaware of any other specific regulatory recommendations which, if implemented, would have a material effect upon our liquidity, capital resources or results of operations. However, the general cost of compliance with numerous federal and state laws does have, and in the future may have, a negative impact on our results of operations.

Further, our business is also affected by the state of the financial services industry, in general. As a result of legal and industry changes, management predicts that the industry will continue to experience an increase in consolidations as the financial industry strives for greater cost efficiencies and market share. Management is optimistic that these consolidations may enhance the Bank’s competitive position as a community bank.

Outlook for 2002:

As detailed in Section 2, “Properties”, the Bank plans to open a branch in Eynon, Pennsylvania during 2002. Costs to open the branch are estimated at $250,000. The costs will be capitalized.

38


In 1990, the Bank purchased a core processing system. That system provides the means from which the Bank gathers and processes data information on a day to day basis. Enhancements to the system over the years have increased memory and processing speeds. In addition, other systems such as the electronic data retrieval system, a network and our Web page, to name a few, were acquired to compliment the core processing system.

After eleven years, it has become apparent that the core system needed to be replaced, in order to effectively operate the Bank and service our clientele. To this end, the Bank will install a new core processing system during 2002. The cost of the system will approximate $1,300,000. The costs will be capitalized. The new system has the capability of utilizing some of the complementary systems already in place.

The Bank anticipates that the costs to open the Eynon branch and the purchase of the core processing system will be internally funded.

After a down year in 2000, net income for 2001 increased beyond the previous high. While this was a positive development, we recognize that there are challenges ahead. The addition of key personnel was an important step in addressing future challenges. Review and implementation of policies, procedures and products will continue. These steps are designed to provide the Company with stability and the wherewithal to provide customer service and increase shareholder value.

Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc.
And Subsidiary

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements



1. Nature Of Operations And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

     Principles Of Consolidation

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fidelity Deposit & Discount Bank (the “Bank”) (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Nature Of Operations

       The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties, Pennsylvania. This region has a diversified and fairly stable economy. The Company’s primary deposit products are savings accounts, NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and checking accounts. Its primary lending products are single-family residential loans, secured consumer loans, and secured loans to businesses. In addition to these traditional banking services, the Company also provides annuities, mutual funds and trust services.

        A significant portion of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of single-family residential loans in its market area. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtor’s ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economic sector in which the Company operates. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed assets, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowances for loan losses and foreclosed assets. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowances for loan losses and foreclosed assets may change materially in the near future.

     Use Of Estimates

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination for the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

     Held-To-Maturity Securities

        Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity.

     Trading Securities

       Debt and equity securities held principally for resale in the near term are recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses are included in other income. The Company did not have any investment securities held for trading purposes during 2001, 2000 or 1999.

     Available-For-Sale Securities

        Available-for-sale securities consist of debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities and are reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. These net unrealized holding gains and losses are the sole component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

     Loans Held For Sale

        Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

     Loans

        Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at face value, net of unearned income, unamortized loan fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on residential real estate loans is recorded on an amortized schedule. Commercial loan interest is accrued on the principal balance on an actual day basis. Interest on consumer loans is determined using the actuarial method or the simple interest method.


45

        The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. Any payments received on impaired loans are applied, first to the outstanding loan amounts, then to the recovery of any charged-off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as a recovery of lost interest.


     Allowance For Loan Losses

        The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses. The allowance represents an amount which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans and leases that may become uncollectible. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. These evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay, overall portfolio quality and review of specific impaired loans. Loans considered uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance.


       A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments in accordance to the contractual terms of the loan. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting payments when due. The significance of payment delays and/or shortfalls, is determined on a case by case basis. All circumstances surrounding the loan are taken into account. Such factors include the length of the delinquency, the underlying reasons and the borrower’s prior payment record. Impairment is measured on all loans on a loan by loan basis.


       Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

     Leases

       Financing of equipment and automobiles is provided to customers under lease arrangements accounted for as direct financing leases. Income earned is based on a constant periodic return on the net investment in the lease.


     Loan Fees

       Nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are recognized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield. The unamortized balance of these fees and costs are included as part of the loan balance to which it relates.


     Bank Premises And Equipment

       Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.


     Loan Servicing and Loan Servicing Rights

       The Company services real estate loans for investors in the secondary mortgage market, which are not included in the balance sheet. The cost of mortgage servicing rights is amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the present dominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans, stated term of the loan and interest rate. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceeds its fair value. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate.


     Foreclosed Assets Held For Sale

       Foreclosed assets held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Losses from the acquisition of property in full and partial satisfaction of debt are treated as credit losses. Routine holding costs and subsequent declines in value are included in other operating expenses.


     Trust Fees

       Trust fees are recorded on the cash basis which is not materially different from the accrual basis.



     Advertising Costs

        Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred.


     Fair Value Of Financial Instruments

        Cash and short-term instruments: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair value.


       Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities: Fair values for securities are based on bid prices received from securities dealers. Restricted equity securities are carried at cost.


       Loans receivable: The fair value of all loans is estimated by the net present value of the future expected cash flows.


       Loans available for sale: For loans available for sale, the fair value is estimated using rates currently offered for similar borrowings and are stated at the lower of cost or market.


46

       Deposit liabilities: The fair value of demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts, and money market deposits is estimated by the net present value of the future expected cash flows. For certificates of deposit, the discount rates used reflect the Company’s current market pricing. The discount rates used for nonmaturity deposits are the current book rate of the deposits.


       Short-term borrowings: For short-term borrowings, the fair value is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar borrowings.


       Long-term debt: For other borrowed funds, the fair value is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar borrowings.


       Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.


       Off-balance-sheet instruments: Commitments to extend credit are generally short term and are priced to market. The rates on standby letters of credit are priced on prime. Therefore, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments is face value.

     Income Taxes

       Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.


     Cash Flows

       For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions.


       For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Company paid interest in cash on interest-bearing liabilities of $20,860,286, $20,465,322 and $15,272,903, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Company paid cash for income taxes of $1,210,000, $391,000 and $725,500, respectively.


       Transfers from loans to foreclosed assets held for sale amounted to $621,846, $374,199 and $482,201 in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Noncash investing activities also included transferring $6,331,825, $13,393,655 and $3,603,841 from loans to loans available-for-sale in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Noncash investing activities also included transferring $8,329,179 from loans available-for-sale to held- to-maturity securities in 2000.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

       The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.


       The Company’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.


       A summary of the notional amounts of the Bank's financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk at December 31, 2001 follows:

       Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Since commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by the Company on extension of credit, is based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.


       Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company guaranteeing performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.


       The Company has not incurred any losses on its commitments in 2001, 2000 or 1999.

       The carrying or notional amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows at December 31, 2001 and 2000:

14. EARNINGS PER SHARE

       Earnings per share (EPS) is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the assumed exercise of stock options. Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect the 2001 stock split.


       The following data shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effects on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

15. REGULATORY MATTERS

       The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.


       Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2001, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.


       To be categorized as well capitalized the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. The Company’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table. No amounts were deducted from capital for interest-rate risk in either 2001, 2000 or 1999.


                                                                                                      To Be Well Capitalized

       The Bank can pay dividends to the Company equal to the Bank’s retained earnings which approximated $33,000,000 at December 31, 2001. However, such dividends are limited due to the capital requirements discussed above.


16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       During the ordinary course of business, loans are made to executive officers, directors, shareholders and associates of such persons. These transactions were made on substantially the same terms and at those rates prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others. These loans do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. A summary of loan activity with officers, directors, shareholders and associates of such persons is as follows:

19. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


       In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” This statement supercedes and replaces the guidance in Statement 125. It revises the standards for accounting for securities and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, although it carries over most of the Statement 125‘s provisions without reconsideration. The Statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 and for recognition and reclassification of collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. This Statement is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Other than those exceptions, earlier or retroactive application of its accounting provisions is not permitted. The 2001 adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, equity, results of operations or disclosure.


       In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supercedes APB Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations”, and FASB Statement 38, “Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises.” All business combinations in the scope of the Statement are to be accounted for using the purchase method. The provisions of the Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.


       In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supercedes APB Opinion No. 17,

55


“Intangible Assets”. It addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. The Statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The provisions of the Statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, except that goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 will be subject immediately to the nonamortization and amortization provisions of the Statement. Early application is permitted for entries with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001, provided that the first interim financial statements have not previously been issued. The Statement is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statement at that date. There is no expected impact on earnings, financial condition or equity upon adoption of Statement No. 142.
