COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2005

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commercial National Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Commercial Bank & Trust of PA, formerly known as Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania, and Commercial National Insurance Services, Inc (CNIS). In December 2002, CNIS acquired The Gooder Agency Inc., (Gooder) which was subsequently sold in 2004. In July 2003, the Bank’s application to convert to a Pennsylvania state chartered bank was approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking (PDOB), and the Bank changed its name to Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania. In October 2003, the Corporation’s application to form a trust company, Highview Trust Company (HTC), was approved. In December 2004, the Corporation received approval from the PDOB and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to merge HTC into Commercial Bank of Pennsylvania. The merged institution resulted in a name change to Commercial Bank & Trust of PA (the Bank). With this restructuring, the trust operations of HTC have become part of the operation of 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, 2004, 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, 2005 and the results of operations for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2005. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 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.

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 against an insurer over the collateral from a previously charged-off commercial loan. The proceeds, less current year legal costs associated with such loan, amounted to $285,000. The remaining credit is related to the receipt of the net sale proceeds of a parcel of improved real estate held as collateral for a classified loan relationship, which had a specific allowance allocation. This collateral was sold in the first quarter of 2005. The second quarter evaluation deemed the allowance to be adequate. By comparison, the Corporation recorded a net credit of $436,000 to the allowance for loan losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. Net (charge-offs)/recoveries amounted to $262,000 and ($203,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Note 4 Legal Proceedings

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

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, $329,000 automatically renew within the next twelve months, $42,000 will expire within the next twelve months and $3,870,000 will expire within thirteen to one hundred and seventy 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, 2005 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. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was 3,413,426 and 3,429,413, respectively.

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, 2004 (the 2004 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 2004 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 on 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 $1.8 million, or $0.52 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $2.1 million or $0.60 per share for the same period ended a year ago. The Corporation’s return on average assets for six months ended 2005 and 2004 was 1.12% and 1.06%, respectively. Return on average equity for the same two periods was 7.96% and 8.77%, respectively.

The major item impacting 2005’s net income was a credit for loan losses in the amount of $470,000. Please refer to Note 2 for more information on this item. By comparison, earnings for 2004 have been impacted by $846,000 in net securities gains as the investment portfolio was repositioned to reduce our alternative minimum tax position (AMT) and to offset a $233,000 executive severance related to the departure of the Corporation’s previous President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition to these events in 2004, the Corporation reduced the allowance for loan losses by $436,000 and recognized this reduction as a credit in the provision for loan losses of the income statement. Also impacting earnings for 2004 was a loss of $39,000 relating to the sale of the Corporation’s insurance related assets.

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, 2005 and 2004, net interest income was $5.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The Corporation’s net interest income has declined in 2005 due to lower earnings on securities. This decline is due to a lower volume of securities. Partially offsetting the decline in interest income was a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense. This decrease is due to the repayment of FHLB Advances in September 2004.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Corporation’s total assets decreased by $1.6 million, or .49%, from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005. The decrease was due to a decline in investment securities, which were mostly offset by increases in loans and federal funds sold. The decline in securities was the result of mortgage-backed security prepayments and maturities.

The Corporation’s total deposits increased $7.1 million from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005. Of this increase, $2.1 million was in non-interest bearing demand accounts. Interest bearing deposits increased $4.9 million due to higher rates and the positive reception of promotional certificates of deposit.

Shareholders' equity was $44.3 million on June 30, 2005 compared to $44.7 million on December 31, 2004. This decrease is due to unrealized losses of $638,000 on securities available for sale for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005. This decrease in value is due to higher bond market rates which reduces the value of the Corporation’s securities. Net income of $1.8 million was offset partially by dividends paid of $1.5 million. Book value per common share decreased from $13.08 at December 31, 2004 to $12.97 at June 30, 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Six Months of 2005 as compared to the First Six Months of 2004

Pre-tax income for the first six months of 2005 was $2.4 million compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2004, representing an 11.76% decrease. The decrease was the result of lower net interest income as lower non-interest income was offset by lower operating expense during the first six months of 2005. Included in 2004 operating income is a gain of $846,000 on the sale of investment securities. These securities were sold to offset a $233,000 executive severance expense and to alleviate the Corporation’s alternative minimum tax position.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $8.0 million, a decrease of 17.26% from interest income of $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The yield on the loan portfolio for the first six months of 2005 decreased twenty-two (22) basis points to 5.61%. This decrease is due to declining interest rates from the refinancing of residential mortgages that continued into 2005. The yield on the securities portfolio for the first six months of 2005 increased thirty-six (36) basis points to 5.52%. This increase in yield was due to the sale of lower yielding securities over the last year. As a result of the above items, the yield on total average earning assets for the first six months of 2005 decreased seven (7) basis points from 2004 to 5.58%.

Total interest expense of $2.1 million for the first six months of 2005 was $1.2 million lower than the first six months of 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, interest on deposits increased $310,000 or 17.45% from the same period a year ago. Due to lower volume, short-term borrowing expense was $22,000, or 73.17% lower in the first half of 2005 than it was for the first six months of 2004. The Corporation had no long-term borrowing expense for 2005 compared to $1.5 million for the first half of 2004. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the first six months of 2005 was 2.00%, a thirty-seven (37) basis points decrease from the same period in 2004.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income for the first six months of 2005 was $5.9 million, a decrease of $476,000, or 7.43% from net interest income for the same period in 2004.

The Corporation recorded a net credit in the provision for loan losses in the amount of $470,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to a credit in the provision in the amount of $436,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. For a more detailed explanation of these credits, 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 2005 was $1.4 million, a decrease of $1.4 million from non-interest income for the first six months of 2004. The reason for this decrease was gains of $846,000 on the sale of securities in 2004. Due to the sale of the insurance agency subsidiary (Gooder) in 2004, the Corporation no longer has insurance sales commission income. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, insurance sales commissions were $342,000. Excluding these items, non-interest income would have decreased $176,000. Service charges on deposit accounts were down due to the elimination of the overdraft privilege checking program.

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

Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2005 reached $5.4 million, a decrease of $1.5 million or 21.48% from non-interest expense for the first six months of 2004. Personnel costs declined by $719,000, or 21.08% from period to period. This decline is attributed to less staff due to the sale of Gooder and attrition in addition to lower benefits costs in 2005. Also included in the first half of 2004 was a $233,000 severance expense relating to the resignation of the Corporation’s previous President and Chief Executive Officer. Other expenses declined by $403,000 due the elimination of costs associated with Gooder which accounted for $147,000, deferred loan costs and general decreases in other categories related to the Corporation’s commitment to cost reduction.

Federal income tax for the first six months of 2005 was $637,000 compared to $664,000 for the same period in 2004. The effective tax rates for the first six months of 2005 and 2004 were 26.44% and 24.33%, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

The Corporation’s pre-tax income for the second quarter of 2005 was lower by $397,000, or 28.98% from $1.4 million for the same period of 2004. This decrease was primarily due to lower net interest income and lower non-interest income partially offset by lower operating expense along with the 2004 credit for loan losses.

Interest income for the second quarter of 2005 was $4.0 million, a decrease of 16.02% from interest income of $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2004. The decrease in interest income is the result of lower income from securities than what was earned a year ago. The drop in security income is directly related to lower volume of securities as the Corporation used proceeds from the sale of securities during the third quarter of 2004 to repay FHLB Advances totaling $55.0 million. The loan yield decreased eighteen (18) basis points to 5.61%, the securities yield increased forty-two (42) basis points to 5.51%. The yield on total average earning assets increased twelve (12) basis points to 5.58%.

Interest expense during the second quarter of 2005 was $1.1 million, or $579,000 less when compared to the second quarter of 2004. This was due to the payoff of the previously mentioned FHLB Advances. The average cost decreased to 2.05%, a thirty-six (36) basis points decrease from a year ago.

Net interest income declined 6.01% to $3.0 million during the second quarter of 2005 and yielded 3.71% of average total assets compared to 3.28% during the same period a year ago.

The Corporation recorded no provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2005. During the second quarter of 2004, the Corporation recorded a credit to the provision for loan losses of $492,000. This credit was the result of an excess allocation in the allowance for loan losses. The reason for this excess is more fully described in Footnote 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Non-interest income decreased $290,000 or 28.84%, to $718,000 during the second quarter of 2005. Items indicated in the year-to-date comparison such as no commission revenues from insurance sales and a decline in service charges collected on deposit accounts due to the elimination of an overdraft checking program were the primary reasons for this decrease.

Non-interest expense decreased $573,000 during the second quarter of 2005, a 17.53% decrease from the same period in 2004. Personnel costs declined by $363,000 to $1.3 million due mostly to fewer employees from attrition and the sale of Gooder. Savings were realized in other categories due to the continued vigilance of cost controls.

Federal income tax on second quarter 2005 pretax earnings was $242,000 compared to $356,000 a year ago. The second quarter effective tax rate was 24.88% and 25.99%, respectively.

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 statement of cash flows indicates cash from securities were used to fund loan growth with the excess flowing into federal funds sold. Cash provided from operating activities was used for financing activities.

As of June 30, 2005, the Corporation had available funding of approximately $182.6 million at the FHLB with an additional $30.0 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 extend credit. 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.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS (continued)

The following table identifies the Corporation’s commitments to extend credit, obligations under letters of credit and commitments to purchase when-issued securities as of June 30, 2005.

(dollar amounts in thousands)

TOTAL AMOUNT COMMITTED

	Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk:
	Commitments to extend credit		$36,863
	Standby letters of credit		371
	Financial standby letters of credit		3,870

CREDIT QUALITY RISK

The following table presents a comparison of loan quality as of June 30, 2005 with that as of December 31, 2004. 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.

	June 30, 2005	December 31, 2004
	(dollar amounts in thousands)

Non-performing loans:
Loans on non-accrual basis	$1,739	$1,667
Past due loans > 90 days	4	12
Renegotiated loans	2,870	3,083
Total non-performing loans	4,613	4,762
Foreclosed real estate	687	687

Total non-performing assets	$5,300	$5,449

Loans outstanding at end of period	$204,429	$192,255
Average loans outstanding (year-to-date)	$195,890	$187,918

Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans	2.12%	2.48%
Provision (credit) for loan losses	$ (470)	$(436)
Net charge-offs (recoveries)	$(262)	$171
Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans	-	.09%
Provision for loan losses as a percent of net charge-offs	-	-
Allowance for loan losses as a percent of average loans outstanding	0.84%	0.99%

As of June 30, 2005, $1.0 million of non-accrual loans were paying principal or principal and interest with payments recognized on a cash basis. $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.

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, 2005, the Corporation, under these guidelines, had Tier I and total equity capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 21.83% and 22.68% respectively. The leverage ratio was 13.35%. The Bank’s capital position and related ratios are similar to the Corporation amounts listed below.

The table below presents the Corporation's capital position at June 30, 2005

(Dollar amounts in thousands)

		Percent
		of Adjusted
	Amount	Assets

Tier I Capital	$ 42,121	21.83%
Tier I Capital Requirement	7,718	4.00

Total Equity Capital	$ 43,768	22.68%
Total Equity Capital Requirement	15,436	8.00



Leverage Capital	$ 42,121	13.35%
Leverage Requirement	12,619	4.00

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. 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.

The cumulative gap at the one-year repricing period was asset sensitive in the amount of $16.2 million or 5.56% of total earning assets at June 30, 2005. This position is more asset-sensitive than the $12.8 million, or 4.38% position at December 31, 2004. An asset or liability is considered to be sensitive if its cash flow characteristics or the interest yield it earns or pays is set to change within a certain time period. When the amount of interest-sensitive assets is greater than the interest-sensitive liabilities, the gap is labeled positive and the institution’s interest rate spread will widen and earnings will respond favorably to a general rise in interest rates. The opposite relationship produces a negative gap and the interest rate spread will increase and earnings will respond favorably to a general decline in interest rates. Although the gap analysis provides management with a method of measuring current interest rate risk, it only measures rate sensitivity at a specific point in time, and not all assets and liabilities with similar maturities and repricing characteristics will reprice at the same time. An example of this would be with the deposit products. Certain deposit products can reprice immediately; however, they are not tied to an index. Management controls the pricing of all deposit products and can slowly reprice these deposits in a rising rate environment but in a rapidly rising rate environment, deposit rates may rise more quickly than management prefers and this action would have a negative impact on operating results.

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 under different interest rate scenarios, 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.

As of June 30, 2005, the results from the computer simulation of interest rate risk do not materially differ than what was presented in the Corporation’s 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders.

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, 2005. 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.
