COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA (the‘Bank”). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. However, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2005, including the notes thereto. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial position as of June 30, 2006 and the results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2 Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount added to the allowance against which actual loan losses are charged. The amount of the provision is determined by management through an evaluation of the size and quality of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, concentrations of credit, recent loan loss trends, delinquencies and other risks inherent within the loan portfolio.

The Corporation recorded a $60,000 provision for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. By comparison, during the Corporation’s first quarter 2005 evaluation, management considered the allowance for loan losses to be over allocated by $470,000. Due to this overage, the Corporation reduced the allowance for loan losses by $470,000. The reason for this reduction is attributed to the Corporation receiving funds from the settlement of a lawsuit from a previously charged-off commercial loan. The proceeds, less legal costs associated with such loan, amounted to $285,000. The remaining credit is related to the pay down of a classified loan relationship, which had a specific allowance allocation.

Note 4 Legal Proceedings

Other than proceedings that occur in the normal course of business, there are no legal proceedings to which either the Corporation or the bank subsidiary is a party, that in the opinion of management, will have any material effect on the financial position of the Corporation and its subsidiary.

Note 5 Guarantees

The Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to secure the performance of a customer to a third party. Of these letters of credit, $384,000 automatically renew within the next twelve months, $62,000 will expire within the next twelve months and $3.6 million will expire within thirteen to one hundred and fifty-eight months. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2006 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

Note 6 Earnings per share

The Corporation has a simple capital structure. Basic earnings per share equals net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding during each period presented.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Forward-looking statements (statements which are not historical facts) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “to,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on information currently available to the Corporation, and the Corporation assumes no obligation to update these statements as circumstances change. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and financial market conditions, unforeseen credit problems, and the Corporation’s ability to execute its business plans. The actual results of future events could differ materially from those stated in any forward-looking statements herein.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Disclosure of the Corporation’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the 2005 Annual Report). Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring that significant judgments, estimates and assumptions be made by management. Additional information is contained in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the 2005 Annual Report for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses.

Significant estimates are made by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. Management considers a variety of factors in establishing these estimates, including current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, financial and managerial strengths of borrowers, adequacy of collateral (if collateral dependent) and other relevant factors. Estimates related to the value of collateral also have a significant impact on whether or not the Corporation continues to accrue income on delinquent loans and on the amounts at which foreclosed real estate is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Management discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates and related Management and Discussion and Analysis disclosure with the Corporation’s Audit Committee. There were no material changes made to the critical accounting estimates during the periods presented within.

OVERVIEW

The Corporation had net income of $1.3 million, or $0.42 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1.8 million or $0.52 per share for the same period ended a year ago. The Corporation’s return on average assets for six months ended 2006 and 2005 was 0.84% and 1.12% respectively. Return on average equity for the same two periods was 6.77% and 7.96%, respectively.

The Corporation purchased 362,113 shares of its own common stock in the first quarter of 2006, costs associated with this purchase were $180,000. The legal and professional costs associated with this purchase were $150,000. In addition, the Corporation incurred additional director and miscellaneous costs of $30,000, as a result of the due diligence process prior to the stock purchase. The Corporation recognized $131,000 in interest income in the second quarter, due to the payoff of one loan that had been in non-accrual status and the upgrade of another non-accrual loan. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was lower than 2005, principally because 2005 benefited from the $470,000 credit for loan losses discussed in Note 2.

The Corporation’s largest segment of operating results is dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is interest earned on interest-earning assets less interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, net interest income was $5.9 million, with 2006 benefiting from the $131,000 in interest income due to payoff and change of status of non-accrual loans, noted in paragraph above.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation’s total assets increased by $3.0 million, or .91%, from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006. The increase in assets was the net result of the following increases and decreases; cash decreased $2.8 million, fed funds sold decreased $17.0 million, investment securities increased $10.6 million and loans increased $11.3 million.

The Corporation’s total deposits increased $8.6 million from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006. Non-interest-bearing deposits decreased $2.9 million and interest-bearing deposits increased $11.5 million. The majority of the growth in deposits was certificates of deposits. Certificates of deposits increased due to higher rates and bank promotions.

Shareholders' equity was $35.5 million on June 30, 2006 compared to $43.6 million on December 31, 2005. This $8.1million decrease is due to the purchase of $6.8 million in treasury stock within the first half of 2006, $1.3 million in dividends paid, and a decrease in fair value of securities, decreasing equity by $1.4 million. The fair value of securities decreased because of higher bond market rates, which decreased the fair value of the corporation’s securities available for sale. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $1.3 million. Book value per common share decreased from $12.79 at December 31, 2005 to $11.65 at June 30, 2006.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Six Months of 2006 as compared to the First Six Months of 2005

Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $1.3 million compared to $1.8 million for the same period of 2005, representing a 24.26% decrease. The decrease was mainly due the difference in the loan loss provision, with 2006 incurring a $60,000 expense compared to a benefit in 2005 from the $470,000 credit described in Note 2.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $8.5 million, an increase of 5.30% from interest income of $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The yield on the loan portfolio for the first six months of 2006 increased thirty-one (31) basis points to 5.92%. This increase in yield is due to higher market rates for new loans; in addition loans tied to prime are earning higher yields than last year. The yield on loans and total interest income benefited from the collection of $131,000 in non-accrual interest on two loans noted under Overview. Interest income has also benefited from an increase in loan volume, with average balances up 8.2% for six months ending June 30, 2006 compared to six months ending June 30, 2005. The yield on the securities portfolio for the first six months of 2006 decreased three (3) basis points to 5.49%. This decrease in yield was due to prepayments of higher earning securities through out the prior year. The yield on total average earning assets for the first six months of 2006 increased twenty-two (22) basis points from 2005 to 5.80%.
 
Total interest expense of $2.6 million for the first six months of 2006 increased by $449,000 or 21.29% compared with the first six months of 2005. The market cost of certificates of deposits increased; and in addition total outstanding certificates of deposit balances increased in comparison to last year. These two factors led to the increase in interest expense for the first six months of 2006. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first six months of 2006 was 2.41%, a forty-one (41) basis points increase from the same period in 2005.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income for the first six months of 2006 was the same as the first six months of 2005, $5.9 million.

The Corporation recorded loan loss provision expense in the amount of $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a credit in the provision in the amount of $470,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. After the application of provision (or credit) for loan losses, net interest income after provision (credit) for loan loss was $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The difference in results is attributable to the credit (benefit) to loan loss reserve during 2005 and the provision (expense) in 2006. For a more detailed explanation of this credit, please refer to the information provided in Footnote 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Non-interest income for the first six months of 2006 was $1.5 million, a slight increase of $55,000 from non-interest income for the first six months of 2005.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2006 was $5.5 million, an increase of $103,000 or 1.89% from non-interest expense for the first six months of 2005. Personnel costs declined by $82,000, or 3.06% due to a lower number of employees and related lower benefit costs, occupancy decreased $5,000, furniture and equipment expense decreased $56,000 due to lower amortization expense on software and lower depreciation expense on computer equipment. Legal and professional expenses increased by $156,000, a majority of this increase is associated with the treasury stock repurchase previously described. Other expenses increased $88,000 in 2006; other expenses increases were; $16,000 in director fees, $17,000 in insurance costs, $12,000 in trust department costs and $13,000 in software maintenance costs.

Federal income tax for the first six months of 2006 was $466,000 compared to $637,000 for the same period in 2005. The effective tax rates for the first six months of 2006 and 2005 were 25.77% and 26.44%, respectively. The effective tax rates are lower than the federal statutory rate of 34% due principally to income from tax -exempt loans, securities, and bank owned life insurance.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

The Corporation’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $805,000, compared to $731,000 for the same period of 2005, representing a 10.12% increase. Income was higher due to a $68,000 increase in net interest income, a $24,000 increase in non-interest income, a decrease of $41,000 in non-interest expense and a $30,000 increase in the loan loss provision.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $4.4 million, an increase of 8.71% from interest income of $4.0 million for the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter 2006 benefited from non-accrual interest of $131,000 previously mentioned above, along with higher interest rates on new loans and loans that adjust with the prime rate. The loan yield increased (46) forty-six basis points to 6.07%. The Corporation purchased additional mortgage backed securities in May and June; these purchases raised the overall securities yield, which increased ten (10) basis points to 5.61% in 2006 compared to 2005. The yield on total average earning assets increased thirty-seven (37) basis points to 5.95%.

Interest expense during the second quarter of 2006 was $1.4 million, or $282,000 more when compared to the second quarter of 2005. The average cost increased to 2.50%, a forty-five (45) basis points increase from a year ago. The interest expense has increased due to the Corporation paying higher rates on deposits and higher volumes.

Net interest income rose 2.30% to $3.0 million during the second quarter of 2006 and yielded 3.75% of average total assets compared to 3.71% during the same period a year ago.

The Corporation recorded a $30,000 provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2005, the Corporation recorded no provision for loan losses.

Non-interest income increased $24,000 or 3.34%, to $742,000 during the second quarter of 2006

Non-interest expense decreased $41,000 during the second quarter of 2006, a 1.50% decrease from the same period in 2005. Personnel costs declined by $9,000, occupancy cost decreased $24,000, furniture and fixture costs decreased $42,000 due to lower depreciation expense. Legal and professional costs decreased for the three- month period in 2006 by $18,000 compared to same period 2005. Other expenses increased by $52,000, with director’s fees, insurance costs and software maintenance costs accounting for the majority of this increase.

Federal income tax on second quarter 2006 pretax earnings was $271,000 compared to $242,000 a year ago. The second quarter effective tax rate was 25.19% and 24.88%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity measurements evaluate the Corporation’s ability to meet the cash flow requirements of its depositors and borrowers. The most desirable source of liquidity is deposit growth. Additional liquidity is provided by the maturity of investments in loans and securities and the principal and interest received from those earning assets. Another source of liquidity is represented by the Corporation’s ability to sell both loans and securities. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. The FHLB provides an additional source for liquidity for long- and short-term funding. Additional sources of funding from financial institutions have been established for short-term funding needs.

The June 30, 2006 statement of cash flows indicates, for the six months ending June 30, 2006, that cash from operating activities, the decrease in fed funds sold, deposit growth and an increase in short term borrowings were used to fund loan growth, to increase mortgage backed securities and to purchase treasury stock.
 
As of June 30, 2006, the Corporation had available funding of approximately $170 million with the FHLB and an additional $30 million of short-term funding available through federal funds lines of credit.


OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect off balance sheet arrangements that consist of commitments to purchase securities or commitments to extend credit. The Corporation has entered agreements to purchase mortgage-backed securities, with settlement dates in July and August of 2006. The original face for each of these agreements is $10 million, both purchased at a discount with total commitment to purchase at $19.8 million. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if any, which the Corporation obtains from the customer upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer or other obligor. The types of collateral obtained by the Corporation may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit, financial standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

CREDIT QUALITY RISK

The following table presents a comparison of loan quality as of June 30, 2006 with that as of December 31, 2005. Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are recognized as interest income as long as the remaining balance of the loan is deemed to be fully collectible. When doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan in non-accrual status, any payments received are applied to principal to the extent the doubt is eliminated. Once a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any unpaid interest is charged against income.

As of June 30, 2006, $485,000 of non-accrual loans were paying principal or principal and interest with payments recognized on a cash basis.
The decrease in non -accrual loans from 12/31/05 to 06/30/06 is a result of  $349,000 in payoffs, $208,000 in loans, due to performance, were upgraded out of non-accrual status, $175,000 was moved to foreclosed real estate and $39,000 was charged off. $2.5 million of the renegotiated loan amount relates to a single borrower. The borrower requested a modification of interest and a period of interest only payments. The request was due to the seasonality of the customer’s business. The Corporation has no knowledge of other outstanding loans that present a serious doubt in regard to the borrower’s ability to comply with current loan prepayment terms.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines are designed principally as a measure of credit risk. These guidelines require that: (1) at least 50% of a banking organization's total capital be common and certain other "core" equity capital ("Tier I Capital"); (2) assets and off-balance sheet items be weighted according to risk; and (3) the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio be at least 8.00%; and (4) a minimum 4.00% leverage ratio of Tier I capital to average total assets be maintained for financial institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including asset quality, high liquidity, low interest-rate exposure and the highest regulatory rating. Banking organizations with supervisory, financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses, as well as organizations that are anticipating or experiencing significant growth, are expected to maintain capital ratios well above minimum levels. Moreover, higher capital ratios may be required for any bank holding company if warranted by its particular circumstances or risk profile. In all cases, bank hold holding companies should hold capital commensurate with the level and nature of the risks, including the volume and severity of problem loans, to which they are exposed. As of June 30, 2006, the Corporation, under these guidelines, had Tier I and total equity capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 17.28% and 18.08%, respectively. The leverage ratio was 11.19%. The Bank’s capital position and related ratios are similar to the Corporation amounts listed below.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Corporation’s primary market risk is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk arises due to timing differences between interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Interest rate management seeks to maintain a balance between consistent income growth and the risk that is created by variations in the ability to reprice deposit and investment categories. The effort to determine the effect of potential interest rate changes normally involves measuring the "gap" between assets (loans and securities) subject to rate fluctuation and liabilities (interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings) subject to rate fluctuation as related to earning assets over different time periods and calculating the ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities.

Repricing periods for the loans, securities, interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings are based on contractual maturities, where applicable, as well as the Corporation's historical experience regarding the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment and withdrawal patterns of certain assets and liabilities. Regular savings, NOW and other similar interest bearing demand deposit accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal without penalty. However, based upon historical performance, management considers a certain portion of the accounts to be stable core deposits and therefore are projected to reprice over a variety of time periods.

19




The Corporation utilizes a computer simulation analysis that projects the impact of changing interest rates on earnings. Simulation modeling projects a baseline net interest income (assuming no changes in interest rate levels) and estimates changes to that baseline resulting from changes in interest rate levels. The Corporation utilizes the results of this model in evaluating its interest rate risk. This model incorporates a number of additional factors. These factors include: (1) the expected exercise of call features on various assets and liabilities; (2) the expected rates at which various rate sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice; (3) the expected relative movements in different interest rate indexes that are used as the basis for pricing or repricing various assets and liabilities; (4) expected changes in administered rates on interest-bearing transaction, savings, money market and time deposit accounts and the expected impact of competition on the pricing or repricing of such accounts; and (5) other factors. Inclusion of these factors in the model is intended to estimate the Corporation’s changes in net interest income resulting from an immediate and sustained parallel shift in interest rates of up 100 basis points (bps), up 200 bps, down 100 bps and down 200 bps. While the Corporation believes this model provides a useful projection of its interest rate risk, the model includes a number of assumptions and predictions that are subject to continual refinement. These assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute net interest income, growth rates and a variety of other factors that are difficult to accurately predict.

Management regularly monitors the interest sensitivity position and considers this position in its decisions with regard to the Corporation’s interest rates and maturities for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Corporation maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in this Form 10-Q, and in other reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms for such filings. Management of the Corporation, under the direction of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15a(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2006. Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with other key management of the Corporation, have determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were and are effective as designed to ensure that material information relating to the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Corporation by the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods.
