Subject to completion, dated October 20, 2008

Riverview Financial Corporation

First Perry Bancorp, Inc.   HNB Bancorp, Inc.

Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus For 1,750,085 Shares of
Riverview Financial Corporation Common Stock

Consolidation Proposal—Your Vote Is Very Important

To: The shareholders of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and HNB Bancorp, Inc.

        The boards of directors of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. ("First Perry") and HNB Bancorp, Inc. ("HNB") have each approved a transaction in which First Perry and HNB will consolidate into a holding company to be created to effect the consolidation. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation, dated as of June 18, 2008, as amended October 16, 2008, First Perry and HNB will consolidate into a holding company named Riverview Financial Corporation ("Riverview"), and The First National Bank of Marysville, the wholly-owned subsidiary of First Perry, and Halifax National Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of HNB, will subsequently consolidate with Riverview National Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Riverview. However, the current branches of The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank will retain their names after the completion of the consolidation.

        In the consolidation, First Perry shareholders will receive 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of First Perry common stock they own on the effective date of the consolidation. First Perry shareholders will receive cash instead of any fractional shares they would have otherwise received in the consolidation. HNB shareholders will receive 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of HNB common stock they own on the effective date of the consolidation. HNB shareholders also will receive cash instead of any fractional shares they would have otherwise received in the consolidation. Riverview estimates that it will issue approximately 1,750,085 shares of Riverview common stock, par value $0.50 per share, in the consolidation. Immediately following the consolidation, former First Perry shareholders will own approximately 55% of Riverview common stock and former HNB shareholders will own approximately 45% of Riverview common stock.

        Neither First Perry nor HNB is listed or traded on any market or exchange; instead, First Perry and HNB common stock are traded in local over-the-counter markets and privately negotiated transactions.

        First Perry will hold a special meeting of its shareholders to vote on the approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement, as amended, on                                    , 2008, at             :00 a.m. at The First National Bank of Marysville, 101 Lincoln Street, Marysville, Pennsylvania 17053. HNB will hold a special meeting of its shareholders to vote on the approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement, as amended, on                                    , 2008, at            :00 a.m. at Halifax Area Historical Society, 3 rd  and Market Streets, Halifax, Pennsylvania 17032. We cannot complete the consolidation unless the holders of at least 51% of the outstanding shares of First Perry common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting of shareholders approve and adopt the consolidation agreement and the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of HNB common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting of shareholders approve and adopt the consolidation agreement.

        Each of the First Perry and HNB board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement. All shareholders of First Perry and HNB are invited to attend their respective special meeting in person. However, whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time to vote by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your shares will be voted.

         Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the common stock of Riverview to be issued in this consolidation or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

         The shares of Riverview common stock offered are not savings or deposit accounts or other obligations of either party or any of their banking or other subsidiaries, and they are not insured by any federal or state governmental agency.

         Investing in Riverview common stock involves risks that are described in "Risk Factors" beginning on page 14.

        This joint proxy statement/prospectus is dated                                    , 2008, and is first being mailed to shareholders of First Perry and HNB on or about                                    , 2008.

Questions and Answers About the Consolidation

Q-1:
Why am I receiving this document?

A:
You are receiving this document because First Perry and HNB signed an Agreement and Plan of Consolidation, dated as of June 18, 2008, as amended October 16, 2008, which provides, among other things, for the consolidation of First Perry and HNB with and into Riverview, the conversion of each share of First Perry common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the consolidation into 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock, and the conversion of each share of HNB common stock outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the consolidation into 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock.

Q-2:
What is the purpose of this document?

A:
This document serves as both a proxy statement of First Perry and HNB and a prospectus of Riverview. This document serves as a proxy statement because the First Perry and HNB boards of directors are soliciting your proxy for use at the First Perry and HNB special meetings of shareholders called to consider and vote on the consolidation agreement. This document serves as a prospectus because Riverview is offering to exchange shares of its common stock for shares of First Perry and HNB common stock in the consolidation.

Q-3:
Why are First Perry and HNB proposing to consolidate?

A:
The boards of directors of First Perry and HNB believe that a consolidation of the two companies will create a stronger and more capable entity than either First Perry or HNB is likely to be alone. Each board of directors believes the consolidation will provide an opportunity for each company to capitalize on its assets in the short-term and strengthen their prospects for the continued growth over the long-term. The consolidation also involves certain risks, which are described under "Risk Factors" beginning on page     .

Q-4:
Will The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank change their names after the consolidation?

A:
No. The current branches of The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank will retain their names after the completion of the consolidation. However, the charters of the banks will consolidate under the charter of Riverview National Bank which will help us save through economies of scale on backroom operations and any regulatory fees and assessments after the consolidation.

Q-5:
What do the First Perry and HNB boards of directors recommend?

A:
The First Perry and HNB boards of directors have unanimously approved the consolidation agreement and the consolidation, and each believes that the consolidation is in the best interests of First Perry and HNB. Accordingly, the First Perry and HNB boards of directors each unanimously recommends that their shareholders vote "FOR" approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement and the consolidation.

Q-6:
When do First Perry and HNB expect to complete the consolidation?

A:
First Perry and HNB expect to complete the consolidation shortly after all of the conditions to the consolidation are fulfilled, including obtaining the approval of First Perry shareholders, the approval of HNB shareholders, and the approval of the applicable regulatory agencies. We anticipate this will occur in the fourth quarter of 2008. First Perry and HNB cannot assure you that they will obtain the necessary shareholder approvals and regulatory approvals or the other conditions precedent to the consolidation can or will be satisfied.

i


Q-7:
What will First Perry and HNB shareholders receive in the consolidation?

A:
Record holders of First Perry common stock will receive 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock for every share of First Perry common stock they own on the effective date of the consolidation and will receive cash instead of any fractional share they would have otherwise received in the consolidation. Record holders of HNB common stock will receive 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock for every share of HNB common stock they own on the effective date of the consolidation and will receive cash instead of any fractional share they would have otherwise received in the consolidation.

Q-8:
Are there regulatory or other conditions to the consolidation occurring?

A:
Yes. The consolidation must be approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the regulator of national banks, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, acting under its delegated authority from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, the regulator of Pennsylvania-chartered banks. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, appropriate applications have been or will be filed with these regulatory authorities.

Furthermore, the consolidation will only be completed if neither First Perry nor HNB is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, or obligations under the consolidation agreement. The consolidation is also subject to the condition that First Perry and HNB each receive an opinion from their respective counsel that the consolidation constitutes a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The consolidation is also subject to certain other specified conditions. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Terms of the Consolidation—Conditions to Consolidation," beginning at page     .

Q-9:
What vote is required to approve the consolidation?

A:
Both First Perry shareholders and HNB shareholders must first adopt and approve the consolidation agreement in accordance with each of its bylaws. Since the board of directors of First Perry has already approved the consolidation agreement by at least 80%, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 51% of the outstanding shares of First Perry common stock on the record date is necessary to approve the consolidation agreement. Furthermore, since the board of directors of HNB has already approved the consolidation agreement by at least 75%, the affirmative vote of holders of at least 60% of outstanding shares of HNB common stock on the record date is necessary to approve the consolidation agreement.

Q-10:
Do I have the right to dissent from the consolidation?

A:
Yes. As a First Perry or HNB shareholder, you have the right under Pennsylvania law to dissent from the consolidation and to demand and receive cash for the fair value of your common stock. In order to assert dissenters' rights, shareholders must precisely follow the process described in "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Rights of Dissenting Shareholders" beginning on page     and in Annex F.

Generally, shareholders who wish to dissent must:

    1.
    File with the corporation of which they are a shareholder a written notice of their intention to demand that they be paid the fair value for their shares of First Perry or HNB common stock, as the case may be, rather than receive shares of Riverview common stock as described in the consolidation agreement prior to the respective vote of shareholders on the consolidation at the First Perry or HNB special meeting called for such purpose.

    2.
    The dissenting shareholders must effect no change in the beneficial ownership of their First Perry or HNB common stock, as the case may be, from the date of the filing of the

ii


Q-11:
What do I need to do now?

A:
After you have carefully read these materials, indicate on the enclosed proxy card how you want to vote your shares of either First Perry or HNB. Then sign, date, and mail the proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope as soon as possible so your shares will be represented and voted at either the First Perry or HNB special meeting.

Q-12:
Should First Perry and HNB shareholders send in their stock certificates now?

A:
No. First Perry and HNB shareholders should not send in their stock certificates at this time. First Perry and HNB shareholders will receive instructions from First Perry's and HNB's exchange agent at a later time. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Terms of the Consolidation—Exchange Procedures" on page     .

Please do not send any stock certificates to First Perry, HNB, or the exchange agent until you receive instructions.

Q-13:
Can I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A:
Yes. There are three ways for you to revoke your proxy and change your vote:

    1.
    You may send a later-dated, signed proxy card before First Perry's or HNB's special meeting, as either relates to you.

    2.
    You may revoke your proxy by written notice delivered at any time prior to the vote on the consolidation including delivery at the special meeting of shareholders. First Perry shareholders should deliver this notice to Kandi Lopp, Corporate Secretary, and HNB shareholders should deliver this notice to David Troutman, Corporate Secretary.

    3.
    You may attend the First Perry or HNB special meeting and vote in person. If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions received from your broker to change your vote.

Q-14:
What are the tax consequences of the consolidation to First Perry and HNB shareholders?

A:
Since First Perry and HNB shareholders will receive solely Riverview common stock for their shares (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares), they generally will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes. However, this tax treatment may not apply to all First Perry and HNB shareholders.

Each of First Perry's and HNB's obligations to complete the consolidation is conditioned on the receipt of a legal opinion regarding the federal income tax treatment of the consolidation. This opinion will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, which could take a different view.

We urge you to consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the consolidation to you. Tax matters are very complicated and, in many cases, tax consequences of the consolidation will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences," beginning at page     .

iii


Q-15:
What happens if my stock certificates are held in "street name" by my broker, bank, or other nominee?

A:
Your broker, bank, or other nominee will not vote your shares unless you provide instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee on how to vote. You should fill out the voter instruction form sent to you by your broker, bank, or other nominee with this document.

Q-16:
Whom should I call with questions or to obtain additional copies of this document?

A:
If you have questions about your special meeting of shareholders or if you need additional copies of this document, you should contact:

        HNB Bancorp, Inc., with assets of approximately $88 million as of June 30, 2008, is the holding company for Halifax National Bank. HNB stock is traded in a local over-the-counter market and privately negotiated transactions. For more information, visit the Halifax National Bank website at www.halifaxnational.com .

        Riverview Financial Corporation will be incorporated as a Pennsylvania business corporation upon the consummation of the consolidation and will serve as the holding company into which First Perry and HNB will consolidate. The aggregate number of shares Riverview has authority to issue is 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.50 per share. At present, Riverview does not own or lease any property and has no paid employees. It will not actively engage in business until after the consolidation is complete.

We Propose that First Perry and HNB consolidate into Riverview (see page       ).

        Under the terms of the consolidation agreement, First Perry and HNB will consolidate with and into Riverview. Following the consolidation of the holding companies, the charters of The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank will consolidate with and into Riverview National Bank's charter. However, the current branches of both The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank will continue to operate under their current names but as divisions of Riverview National Bank. A copy of the consolidation agreement, as amended, is attached to this document as Annex A and a copy of the plan of consolidation for the banks is attached to this document as Exhibit 3 to the consolidation agreement.

The boards of directors of First Perry and HNB are recommending a vote in favor of the consolidation and believe that a consolidation of the two companies will create a stronger and more capable entity than either First Perry or HNB is likely to be alone.

        Both boards of directors of First Perry and HNB are recommending our respective shareholders vote in favor of the consolidation. The primary reasons we are recommending approval of the consolidation are the potential cost savings and the resulting increase in earnings, better management succession, and expansion of market diversity. Each board of directors believes the consolidation will provide an opportunity for the combined company to capitalize on its assets in the short-term and strengthen their prospects for continued growth over the long-term. We believe this growth will be sufficient to overcome the increased costs arising from the consolidation such as the costs associated with developing Riverview's infrastructure and additional regulatory compliance. Also, the consolidation would create a larger pool of management personnel for the combined company consequently improving its management succession plan. Furthermore, since the two companies serve markets that are geographically complementary to the other, Riverview would have a more diverse market concentration than either of the two companies on their own.

First Perry and HNB shareholders will receive shares of Riverview common stock (see page       ).

        At the effective date of the consolidation, each outstanding share of First Perry common stock will be converted into and become the right to receive 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock. Also at the effective date, each outstanding share of HNB common stock will be converted into and become the right to receive 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock. Riverview will not issue fractional shares of

2



its common stock as part of the consolidation and will instead pay cash for any fractional share of common stock a shareholder of First Perry or HNB would have otherwise received in the consolidation.

First Perry has received an opinion from its financial advisor that consideration is fair from a financial point of view (see page       ).

        In connection with the consolidation, the board of directors of First Perry received a written opinion from First Perry's financial advisor, Cedar Hill Advisors, LLC ("Cedar Hill"), as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consolidation. The full text of the opinion of Cedar Hill, dated as of June 18, 2008, is included in this document as Annex D. We encourage you to read this opinion carefully in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and limitations of the review undertaken by Cedar Hill. The opinion of Cedar Hill is directed to First Perry's board of directors and does not constitute a recommendation to you or any other shareholder as to how to vote with respect to the consolidation or any other matter relating to the proposed consolidation. Cedar Hill will receive a fee for its services, including rendering the fairness opinion, in connection with the consolidation.

HNB has received an opinion from its financial advisor that consideration is fair from a financial point of view (see page       ).

        In connection with the consolidation, the board of directors of HNB received the written opinion from HNB's financial advisor, Danielson Capital, LLC ("Danielson Capital"), as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received in the consolidation by holders of HNB common stock. The full text of the opinion of Danielson Capital, dated as of June 18, 2008, is included in this document as Annex E. We encourage you to read this opinion carefully in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and limitations of the review undertaken by Danielson Capital. The opinion of Danielson Capital is directed to HNB's board of directors and does not constitute a recommendation to you or any other shareholder as to how to vote with respect to the consolidation, the form of consideration to be received in the consolidation, or any other matter relating to the proposed consolidation. Danielson Capital will receive a fee for its services, including rendering the fairness opinion, in connection with the consolidation.

First Perry and HNB have engaged the same law firm to represent each company in the consolidation (see page     ).

        In connection with the consolidation, First Perry and HNB engaged Bybel Rutledge LLP as legal counsel. This law firm previously served as special counsel to both First Perry and HNB on general corporate and business matters. First Perry and HNB were aware of potential conflicts which might arise with the engagement of the same counsel, discussed the potential conflicts, and determined that it was in the best interests of their respective companies and shareholders to retain the same law firm for purposes of the consolidation and, to that end, executed a written instrument of informed consent waiving any potential conflicts.

Approval of at least 51% of the First Perry shares entitled to vote is required to approve and adopt the consolidation agreement (see page       ).

        Since First Perry's board of directors unanimously approved the consolidation agreement and consolidation, First Perry's articles of incorporation require the approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement and the consolidation by an affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of at least 51% of the outstanding shares of First Perry common stock on the record date. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted at the special meeting of shareholders is required to approve the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting to solicit additional proxies.

3


        Each holder of shares of First Perry common stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record. The vote required for approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement is a percentage of all outstanding shares of First Perry common stock. Therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the consolidation agreement and the consolidation. Brokers who hold First Perry common stock as nominees on your behalf will not have authority to vote your shares with respect to the consolidation agreement or the consolidation unless you provide voting instructions in accordance with the directions provided by your broker. Failure to provide your broker with voting instructions will have the same effect as a vote against the consolidation agreement.

Approval of at least 60% of the HNB shares entitled to vote is required to approve and adopt the consolidation agreement (see page       ).

        Since HNB's board of directors unanimously approved the consolidation agreement and consolidation, HNB's articles of incorporation require the approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement and the consolidation by an affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of 60% of the outstanding shares of HNB common stock on the record date. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted at the special meeting is required to approve the adjournment or postponement of the meeting to solicit additional proxies.

        Each holder of shares of HNB common stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record. The vote required for approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement is a percentage of all outstanding shares of HNB common stock. Therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the consolidation agreement and the consolidation. Brokers who hold HNB common stock as nominees on your behalf will not have authority to vote your shares with respect to the consolidation agreement or the consolidation unless you provide voting instructions in accordance with the directions provided by your broker. Failure to provide your broker with voting instructions will have the same effect as a vote against the consolidation agreement.

First Perry directors and executive officers have agreed to vote in favor of the consolidation (see page       ).

        On                        , 2008, the directors and executive officers of First Perry had sole or shared voting power over 32,922 shares, or 8.33%, of the outstanding shares of First Perry common stock. These directors and officers of First Perry have agreed to vote these shares of First Perry common stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement.

HNB directors and executive officers have agreed to vote in favor of the consolidation (see page       ).

        On                        , 2008, the directors and executive officers of HNB had sole or shared voting power over 58,908 shares, or 18.85%, of the outstanding shares of HNB common stock. These directors and officers of HNB have agreed with First Perry to vote these shares of HNB common stock in favor of approving and adopting the consolidation agreement.

First Perry and HNB directors and management may have interests in the consolidation that differ from your interests (see page       ).

        The directors and executive officers of First Perry and HNB may have interests in the consolidation as directors and employees that are different from or in addition to your interests as a First Perry or HNB shareholder. These interests include, among others, provisions in the consolidation agreement which provide for the appointment of seven Riverview and Riverview National Bank directors by First Perry and seven Riverview and Riverview National Bank directors by HNB as well as

4



for the indemnification of First Perry and HNB directors and officers in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the consolidation effective date to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. Additional interests of management include employment agreements for Robert M. Garst, Kirk D. Fox, Robert Weidler, William Hummel, and Paul Zwally, and release agreements for William Hummel and Thomas Wasson. Also, some executives have supplemental retirement plans and some directors have deferred fee arrangements.

        Each of First Perry's and HNB's board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving and recommending the consolidation agreement.

First Perry and HNB must obtain regulatory approval and satisfy other conditions before the consolidation is complete (see page       ).

        First Perry's and HNB's obligations to complete the consolidation are subject to various conditions that are usual and customary for this kind of transaction. These conditions include obtaining approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. As of the date of this document, appropriate applications for approval have been filed or will be filed as soon as possible. In addition to the required regulatory approvals, the consolidation will only be completed if certain conditions are met. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Terms of the Consolidation—Conditions to Consolidation".

Amendment or termination of the consolidation agreement is possible (see page       ).

        First Perry and HNB can agree to amend the consolidation agreement in any way, except that, after approval by First Perry and HNB shareholders at their special meetings, First Perry and HNB cannot change the amount of Riverview common stock you will receive in the transaction from what is provided in the consolidation agreement.

        First Perry and HNB may agree to terminate the consolidation agreement and not complete the consolidation at any time before the consolidation is completed. Each company also may unilaterally terminate the consolidation agreement in certain circumstances. These include the failure to complete the consolidation by April 30, 2009, unless the terminating company's breach is the reason the consolidation has not been completed.

Rights of First Perry and HNB shareholders differ from those of Riverview shareholders (see pages       ).

        When the consolidation is complete, First Perry and HNB shareholders will automatically become Riverview shareholders. The rights of First Perry and HNB shareholders differ from the rights of Riverview shareholders in certain important ways. Many of these differences have to do with provisions in First Perry's and HNB's articles of incorporation and bylaws that differ from those of Riverview. See "Comparison of Shareholders' Rights" beginning on page       .

Tax consequences of the consolidation (see page       ).

        To the extent First Perry and HNB shareholders receive Riverview common stock, they generally will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes. However, this tax treatment may not apply to all First Perry and HNB shareholders. Furthermore, shareholders of First Perry and HNB that receive cash in exchange for fractional shares of Riverview common stock generally will recognize a gain or a loss.

        First Perry and HNB have received a tax opinion that the consolidation will qualify as a "tax free" reorganization under 368(a) of the IRC from Bybel Rutledge LLP. The tax opinion is conditioned,

5



among other things, on the consolidation being conducted pursuant to the consolidation agreement and no change to current law. This opinion will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, which could take a different view.

         We urge you to consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the specific tax consequences of the consolidation to you. Tax matters are very complicated and, in many cases, tax consequences of the consolidation will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Material Federal Income Tax Considerations," beginning at page       .

First Perry and HNB shareholders will have dissenters' rights (see page       ).

        As a First Perry or HNB shareholder, you have the right under Pennsylvania law to dissent from the consolidation and to demand and receive cash for the "fair value" of your common stock. In order to assert dissenters' rights, shareholders must precisely follow the process described in "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Rights of Dissenting Shareholders" beginning on page       and in Annex F. These sources describe provisions of Pennsylvania law related to dissenters' rights. You also are encouraged to consult with your own legal advisor as to your dissenters' rights under Pennsylvania law. Failure to strictly comply with these procedures will result in the loss of these dissenters' rights and your ability to receive cash for the fair value of your common stock of either First Perry or HNB.

Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data for Riverview

        The following table shows information about Riverview's financial condition and results of operations, including per share data and financial ratios, after giving effect to the consolidation. This information is called unaudited pro forma financial information in this document. The information under "Selected Combined Balance Sheet Items" in the table below assumes the consolidation was completed on June 30, 2008. The information under "Combined Income Statement" in the table below gives effect to the pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This pro forma financial information assumes that the consolidation is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and represents a current estimate of the financial information based on available financial information of First Perry and HNB. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Accounting Treatment" on page     .

        The unaudited pro forma combined financial information includes adjustments to reflect the assets and liabilities of HNB at their estimated fair values at or near June 30, 2008. Such adjustments are subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not include any assumptions regarding the possible impact of revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions or share repurchases.

        The information presented below should be read together with the historical consolidated financial statements of First Perry and HNB, including the related notes, and together with the consolidated historical financial data for First Perry and HNB and the other pro forma financial information, including the related notes, appearing elsewhere in this document. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information" beginning on page     . The pro forma financial data are not necessarily indicative of results that actually would have occurred had the consolidation been completed on the dates indicated or that may be obtained in the future.

Risk Factors

        In addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed in "A Warning About Forward-Looking Information," on page     , First Perry and HNB shareholders should carefully consider the matters described below to determine whether to approve and adopt the consolidation agreement.

Risks Relating to the Consolidation

The value of the shares of Riverview common stock that First Perry shareholders and HNB shareholders receive upon the consummation of the consolidation may be less than the value of shares of First Perry or HNB common stock as of the date the consolidation agreement was entered into or the date of the special meetings.

        The exchange ratio in the consolidation agreement is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the stock prices of First Perry or HNB prior to the consolidation. There also may be a period of time between the date when shareholders of each of First Perry and HNB vote on the consolidation agreement and the date when the consolidation is completed. The relative prices of First Perry and HNB common stock may vary between the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the dates of the special meetings, and the date of completion of the consolidation. The market price of First Perry and HNB common stock may change as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in its business, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond the control of First Perry or HNB and are not necessarily related to a change in the financial performance or condition of First Perry or HNB. As First Perry and HNB market share prices fluctuate, based on numerous factors, the value of the shares of Riverview common stock that a First Perry or HNB shareholder will receive will correspondingly fluctuate. In addition, Riverview is not listed and will not be listed until after completion of the combination, and it is impossible to predict accurately the market price of Riverview common stock after completion of the consolidation. Accordingly, the prices of First Perry and HNB common stock on the dates of the special meetings may not be indicative of their prices immediately prior to completion of the consolidation and the price of Riverview common stock after the consolidation is completed.

        Riverview will issue shares to you in certificate form, there will be a time period between the effective date of the consolidation and delivery of the certificate to you. Until you receive the stock certificate, you will not be able to sell your Riverview shares in the open market and, thus, will not be able to avoid losses resulting from any decline in the market price of Riverview common stock during this period.

        See "Summary—Market Price and Dividend Information," on page     . We urge you to obtain current market quotations for First Perry and HNB common stock.

First Perry and HNB directors and executive officers may have interests in the consolidation that differ from your interests.

        Some of First Perry's and HNB's directors and executive officers have interests in the transaction other than their interests as shareholders. For example, after the consolidation of First Perry and HNB, the current directors of First Perry and HNB will continue to serve on Riverview's combined board of directors. In addition:

14


        These and certain other additional interests of First Perry's and HNB's directors and executive officers are described in detail in "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Interests of Directors, Officers, and Others in the Consolidation," beginning on page     of this document. These circumstances may cause some of First Perry's and HNB's directors and executive officers to view the proposed consolidation differently than you view it.

After the consolidation is complete, First Perry and HNB shareholders will become Riverview shareholders and will have different rights that may be less advantageous than their current rights.

        Upon completion of the consolidation, First Perry and HNB shareholders will become Riverview shareholders. Differences in First Perry's and HNB's articles of incorporation and bylaws and Riverview's articles of incorporation and bylaws will result in changes to the rights of First Perry and HNB shareholders who become Riverview shareholders. For more information, see "Comparison of Shareholders' Rights," beginning on page     of this document. Shareholders of First Perry and HNB may conclude that their current rights under First Perry's and HNB's articles of incorporation and bylaws are more advantageous than the rights they may have as a Riverview shareholder under Riverview's articles of incorporation and bylaws.

If the consolidation is not completed, First Perry and HNB will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits.

        First Perry and HNB will incur substantial expenses in connection with the consolidation. The completion of the consolidation depends on the satisfaction of specified conditions and the receipt of regulatory approvals. HNB and First Perry cannot guarantee that these conditions will be met. If the consolidation is not completed, these expenses could have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of First Perry and HNB because they would not have realized the expected benefits.

Failure to complete the consolidation in certain circumstances could require First Perry or HNB to pay a termination fee.

        If the consolidation should fail to occur in certain circumstances that relate to a possible combination of First Perry or HNB with another acquirer, First Perry or HNB may be obligated to pay

15



$800,000 as a termination fee. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Terms of the Consolidation—Termination Fee".

The engagement of the same law firm to represent both First Perry and HNB in connection with the consolidation may have resulted in advantages or disadvantages to either First Perry or HNB shareholders that may not have occurred if each had been represented by separate counsel.

        First Perry and HNB engaged Bybel Rutledge LLP to represent them in connection with the consolidation. After analyzing and discussing the potential conflicts which might arise in using the same law firm, First Perry and HNB determined that it was in the best interests of their respective companies and shareholders to retain the same law firm for purposes of the consolidation and, to that end, executed a written instrument of informed consent waiving any potential conflicts. Decisions relating to the ultimate structure of the consolidation, allocation of board seats on Riverview's board of directors, the exchange ratio of Riverview common stock to be exchanged for HNB and First Perry common stock, and the designation of future executive officers of Riverview were the subject of direct negotiations between the boards of directors and management of HNB and First Perry. There is no assurance, however, that engagement of the same law did not result in a consolidation agreement or in transactions contemplated by the agreement that may have been more or less advantageous to either First Perry or HNB shareholders than if they had been represented by separate counsel.

Risks Relating to Riverview and Its Business

Due to accounting rule changes, failure to complete the consolidation by December 31, 2008 will result in additional charges for Riverview in 2009.

        On December 4, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised version of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 ("FAS 141(R)"), which addresses accounting for business combinations. Prior to the issuance of FAS 141(R), the costs of an acquisition—such as legal, consulting, banking and other professional fees related to an acquisition—were treated as part of the purchase price of the transaction. However, for business combinations completed after December 31, 2008, transaction-related costs must be expensed during the period in which they are incurred. Accordingly, if the consolidation is not completed until after December 31, 2008, transaction related costs will be expensed, and as a result Riverview's earnings will be negatively impacted.

Riverview may fail to realize the cost savings it expects to achieve from the consolidation.

        The success of the consolidation will depend, in part, on Riverview's ability to realize the estimated cost savings from combining the businesses of First Perry and HNB. While we believe that the cost savings estimates are achievable, it is possible that the potential cost savings could be more difficult to achieve than we anticipate. Riverview's cost savings estimates also depend on its ability to combine the businesses of First Perry and HNB in a manner that permits those cost savings to be realized. If our estimates are incorrect or we are unable to combine the two companies successfully, the anticipated cost savings may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

Combining First Perry and HNB into Riverview may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected.

        First Perry and HNB have operated, and, until the completion of the consolidation, will continue to operate, independently. The integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing business, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect either company's ability to maintain relationships with clients and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the consolidation. As with any consolidation of financial institutions, there also may be disruptions that cause First Perry and HNB to lose customers

16



or cause customers to withdraw their deposits from First Perry, HNB or Riverview, or other unintended consequences that could have a material adverse effect on Riverview's results of operations or financial condition.

We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with corporate governance and accounting requirements.

        We expect to incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We have no experience as a public company and cannot estimate the additional costs at this time. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Riverview's success will depend upon the ability of management to adapt to the consolidated company structure.

        The business success of Riverview and Riverview National Bank depends to a great extent upon the services of their directors and executive officers. Management's ability to operate Riverview profitably will require the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. In particular, if Riverview expands geographically or expands to provide non-banking services through the acquisition or formation of additional subsidiaries, current management may not have the necessary experience for successful operation in these new areas. There is no guarantee that management would be able to meet these new challenges or that Riverview would be able to retain new directors or personnel with the appropriate background and expertise.

Riverview common stock will not be listed on a national securities exchange, and the market for Riverview's common stock may not be more active than the market for either First Perry or HNB common stock.

        Although the Riverview common stock offered in the consolidation will be freely transferable once you receive your Riverview stock certificate, Riverview's common stock will not be listed on a national securities exchange. Instead, Riverview common stock will be traded in local over-the-counter markets and privately negotiated transactions. There is no assurance that a public trading market for Riverview's common stock will develop. We do not anticipate that significant trading in Riverview common stock will take place for several years, if ever. Subscribers should consider their shares of Riverview common stock as a long-term investment because, among other things, they may not be able to promptly liquidate their investment at a reasonable price in the event of a personal financial emergency or otherwise.

Riverview's ability to pay dividends is subject to limitations.

        Riverview will be a bank holding company and its operations are conducted by direct and indirect subsidiaries, each of which is a separate and distinct legal entity. Substantially all of Riverview's assets are held by its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

17


        Riverview's ability to pay dividends depends on its receipt of dividends from its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Its principal banking subsidiary, Riverview National Bank, will be its primary source of dividends. Dividend payments from its banking subsidiaries are subject to legal and regulatory limitations, generally based on net profits and retained earnings, imposed by the various banking regulatory agencies. The ability of banking subsidiaries to pay dividends is also subject to their profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements. There is no assurance that Riverview's subsidiaries will be able to pay dividends in the future or that Riverview will generate adequate cash flow to pay dividends in the future. Riverview's failure to pay dividends on its common stock could have a material adverse effect on the market price of its common stock.

Future acquisitions by Riverview could dilute your ownership of Riverview and may cause Riverview to become more susceptible to adverse economic events.

        Riverview may issue shares of its common stock in connection with future acquisitions and other investments, which would dilute your ownership interest in Riverview in the event that you receive consideration in the form of Riverview common stock. While there is no assurance that these transactions will occur, or that they will occur on terms favorable to Riverview, future business acquisitions could be material to Riverview, and the degree of success achieved in acquiring and integrating these businesses into Riverview could have a material effect on the value of Riverview common stock. In addition, these acquisitions could require Riverview to expend substantial cash or other liquid assets or to incur debt, which could cause Riverview to become more susceptible to economic downturns and competitive pressures.

An economic downturn in central Pennsylvania or a general decline in economic conditions could adversely affect Riverview's financial results.

        After the consolidation, Riverview National Bank's operations will be concentrated in central Pennsylvania. As a result of this geographic concentration, Riverview's financial results may correlate to the economic conditions in this area. Deterioration in economic conditions in this market area, particularly in the industries on which this geographic areas depend, or a general decline in economic conditions may adversely affect the quality of the loan portfolio (including the level of non-performing assets, charge offs and provision expense) and the demand for products and services, and, accordingly, Riverview's results of operations. Inflation has some impact on Riverview's and Riverview National Bank's operating costs. Riverview's future acquisitions could dilute your ownership of Riverview and may cause Riverview to become more susceptible to adverse economic events.

Strong competition within Riverview's market area may limit its growth and profitability.

        Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. Riverview National Bank will compete actively with other central Pennsylvania financial institutions, many larger than Riverview National Bank, as well as with financial and non-financial institutions headquartered elsewhere. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and money market funds actively compete for deposits and loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer finance, insurance companies and brokerage firms, may be considered competitors with respect to one or more services they render. Riverview National Bank will likely be generally competitive with all institutions in its service areas with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings deposits, service charges on deposit accounts, interest rates charged on loans and fees for trust and investment advisory services. Many of the institutions with which Riverview National Bank competes have substantially greater resources and lending limits and may offer certain services that Riverview National Bank does not or cannot provide. Riverview's profitability depends upon Riverview National Bank's ability to successfully compete in its market area.

18


Riverview operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.

        Riverview and Riverview National Bank will be subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by certain state and federal agencies including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as insurer of Riverview National Bank's deposits, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as regulator of the holding company, and the Office of the Comptroller of Currency. Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in which an institution and its holding company may engage and are intended primarily to ensure the safety and soundness of financial institutions. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on operations, the classification of assets and determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on Riverview National Bank's and Riverview's operations. There also are several federal and state statutes which regulate the obligation and liabilities of financial institutions pertaining to environmental issues. In addition to the potential for attachment of liability resulting from its own actions, a bank may be held liable under certain circumstances for the actions of its borrowers, or third parties, when such actions result in environmental problems on properties that collateralize loans held by the bank. Further, the liability has the potential to far exceed the original amount of a loan issued by the bank.

The First Perry Special Meeting of Shareholders

General

        The First Perry special meeting of shareholders will be held at The First National Bank of Marysville, 101 Lincoln Street, Marysville, Pennsylvania 17053, at              .m., local time, on                        ,      , 2008.

Record Date

        The record date for the First Perry special meeting of shareholders is                        , 2008. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the First Perry record date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting.

Matters to be Considered at the Special Meeting

        Holders of First Perry common stock will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the consolidation agreement which is attached as Annex A to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, shareholders of First Perry are being asked to approve a proposal to adjourn the First Perry special meeting of shareholders, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the special meeting of shareholders to approve the consolidation agreement. Shareholders also will consider and vote upon any other matter that may properly come before the special meeting.

Votes Required

        First Perry shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast on the record date must be represented in person or by proxy at the First Perry special meeting of shareholders for a quorum to be present for purposes of voting on the consolidation agreement, the adjournment or postponement proposal, and any other matter to be considered at First Perry's special meeting of shareholders.

        The approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement requires the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of the holders of at least 51% of the outstanding shares of First Perry common stock on the record date because the First Perry board of directors has unanimously approved the consolidation agreement. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted at the First Perry special meeting of shareholders is required to approve the adjournment or postponement of the special meeting to solicit additional proxies.

        Each shareholder of First Perry on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record at the First Perry special meeting of shareholders. The directors and executive officers of First Perry have agreed to vote all shares of First Perry common stock that they own on the record date in favor of the approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement. On the record date, directors and executive officers of First Perry owned approximately 32,922 shares of First Perry common stock, or approximately 8.33% of the then outstanding shares of First Perry common stock.

Voting

        The First Perry board of directors is soliciting proxies from the First Perry shareholders. This will give First Perry shareholders an opportunity to vote at the First Perry special meeting of shareholders. When you deliver a valid proxy, the shares represented by that proxy will be voted by a named agent in accordance with your instructions.

         If a First Perry shareholder does not vote by proxy or by attending the First Perry special meeting of shareholders and voting in person, it will have the same effect as voting against the consolidation.

21


        If a First Perry shareholder votes by proxy card but makes no specification on the proxy card regarding the proposals, the agent will vote all of the shareholder's shares "FOR" approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement and the consolidation and the adjournment or postponement proposal.

Revocation of Proxies

        Any First Perry shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time before or at the First Perry special meeting in one or more of the following ways:

        A First Perry shareholder should send any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy to:

        You also may hand deliver the notice of revocation or subsequent proxy to Kandi Lopp, Corporate Secretary, before the taking of the vote at the special meeting of shareholders. Attendance at the special meeting of shareholders will not by itself constitute a revocation or proxy.

Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal

        Under Section 1930 and Chapter 15, Subchapter D, of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, holders of First Perry common stock who properly file with First Perry a written notice of intention to dissent will have the right to obtain a cash payment for the "fair value" of their shares (excluding any element of value arising in anticipation of the consolidation). In order to exercise those rights, First Perry shareholders must comply with the procedural requirements of Chapter 15, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law. The "fair value" of their shares would be determined in judicial proceedings, the result of which cannot be predicted. Failure to take any of the steps required under Chapter 15, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law on a timely basis may result in the loss of dissenters' rights. The provisions relating to dissenters' rights under Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law are attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Rights of Dissenting Shareholders".

Solicitation of Proxies

        First Perry will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its own shareholders, but First Perry and HNB will equally share the cost of printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to solicitation by mail, the directors, officers and employees of First Perry and its subsidiaries may solicit proxies from First Perry shareholders by telephone, electronically, or in person without compensation other than reimbursement for their actual expenses. First Perry also will make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. First Perry will reimburse those custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with forwarding solicitation materials.

        You also may hand deliver the notice of revocation or subsequent proxy to David A. Troutman, Corporate Secretary, before the taking of the vote at the special meeting of shareholders. Attendance at the special meeting of shareholders will not by itself constitute a revocation or proxy.

Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal

        Under Section 1930 and Chapter 15, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended, holders of HNB common stock who properly file with HNB a written notice of intention to dissent will have the right to obtain a cash payment for the "fair value" of their shares (excluding any element of value arising in anticipation of the consolidation). In order to exercise those rights, HNB shareholders must comply with the procedural requirements of Chapter 15, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law. The "fair value" of their shares would be determined in judicial proceedings, the result of which cannot be predicted. Failure to take any of the steps required under Chapter 15, Subchapter D of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law on a timely basis may result in the loss of dissenters' rights. The provisions relating to dissenters' rights under Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law are attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Rights of Dissenting Shareholders".

Solicitation of Proxies

        HNB will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its own shareholders, but First Perry and HNB will equally share the cost of printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition to solicitation by mail, the directors, officers, and employees of HNB and its subsidiaries may solicit proxies from HNB shareholders by telephone, electronically, or in person without compensation other than reimbursement for their actual expenses. HNB also will make arrangements with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. HNB will reimburse those custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with forwarding solicitation materials.

        InvestorCom, Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, will assist in the solicitation of proxies by HNB for a fee of $7,500, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Proposal No. 1—
The Consolidation

         The following information describes the material terms and provisions of the consolidation. This description is not complete. We qualify this discussion in its entirety by reference to the consolidation agreement which we incorporate by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the consolidation agreement, as amended, is attached to this document as Annex A to provide information regarding the terms of the proposed consolidation. Except for its status as the contractual document between the parties with respect to the consolidation described in the consolidation agreement, it is not intended to provide factual information about the parties. The representations and warranties contained in the consolidation agreement were made only for purposes of the consolidation agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the consolidation agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed to by the contracting parties, including being qualified by disclosures between the parties. These representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, they should not be relied on by investors as statements of factual information. We urge you to read the full text of the consolidation agreement carefully.

General

        On June 18, 2008, First Perry and HNB jointly announced the pending consolidation of First Perry and HNB. Pursuant to the consolidation agreement, First Perry and HNB will consolidate with and into Riverview. The consolidation is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2008. Immediately thereafter, The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank will consolidate with and into Riverview National Bank. However, following the consolidation of the banks, the current branches of both The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank will continue to operate under their current names as divisions of Riverview National Bank.

        In the consolidation, First Perry shareholders will receive 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock for each of their shares of First Perry common stock held on the effective date of the consolidation, and HNB shareholders will receive 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock for each of their shares of HNB common stock held on the effective date of the consolidation.

        Riverview will not issue fractional shares of common stock to either First Perry or HNB shareholders pursuant to this consolidation; consequently, First Perry and HNB shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares they would have otherwise received according to the terms of the consolidation.

        The approval and adoption of the consolidation agreement requires the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of the holders of at least 51% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the First Perry special meeting of shareholders and requires the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the HNB special meeting of shareholders.

Background of the Consolidation

        Over the years, each company, their boards of directors, management, and employees have known each other, competed with each other, engaged in various business transactions together, respected each other, and shared a common vision of community banking. In fact, over one year ago, both companies had confidentially discussed the possible combination of "back room business operations" (data processing, accounting, bookkeeping) to enhance cost efficiencies, but for various business reasons this "back room combination" did not move forward. As late as a few months ago, each company preliminarily and confidentially discussed the creation of a jointly owned mortgage origination unit. The mortgage origination unit did not come to fruition because of various business reasons.

First Perry's and HNB's Reasons for the Consolidation

        In evaluating their strategic plans in light of the opportunities presented, First Perry and HNB decided to enhance their organizations through a business combination to form a new bank holding company.

        In approving the consolidation agreement, First Perry's and HNB's boards of directors considered the following as generally supporting their decision to enter into the consolidation agreement:

29


30


        The boards of directors also considered the fact that the combined institution would result in a combined entity with more than $200 million in assets. The addition of the other's market area is expected to provide sustained business development opportunities by enabling First Perry and HNB to capitalize on the other's banking franchise to compete in the Central Pennsylvania market.

        The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the First Perry and HNB boards of directors in evaluating the consolidation agreement is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes all material factors considered by the First Perry and HNB boards of directors. In reaching their decision to approve the consolidation agreement and the consolidation, the First Perry and HNB boards of directors did not quantify or assign relative values to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The First Perry and HNB boards of directors considered all of the above factors as a whole, and on an overall basis considered them to be favorable to, and support, its determination to enter into the consolidation agreement.

Representation of First Perry and HNB by the same law firm

        In connection with the consolidation, First Perry and HNB engaged Bybel Rutledge LLP as legal counsel. This law firm previously served as special counsel to both First Perry and HNB on general corporate and business matters. The law firm provided legal advice to HNB and First Perry on legal requirements for corporate combinations under Pennsylvania law, necessary bank regulatory approvals required under federal and Pennsylvania law, securities registration requirements under federal and Pennsylvania law relating to the issuance of Riverview common stock in exchange for First Perry and

31



HNB common stock, and the effect of the consolidation on existing executive employment agreements and benefit plans of HNB and First Perry.

        Decisions relating to the ultimate structure of the consolidation, allocation of board seats on Riverview's board of directors, the exchange ratio of Riverview common stock to be exchanged for HNB and First Perry common stock, and the designation of future executive officers of Riverview were the subject of direct negotiations between the boards of directors and management of HNB and First Perry. In addition, the boards of directors of HNB and First Perry each include a lawyer who routinely advise their respective institutions on general legal matters and provided an independent legal perspective to each board with respect to the consolidation. These lawyers separately reviewed the consolidation agreement and exhibits and schedules thereto and provided independent advice to their respective boards.

        First Perry and HNB were aware of potential conflicts which might arise with the engagement of the same law firm in connection with the consolidation and discussed these potential conflicts. After analyzing and discussing the potential conflicts, it was determined that it was in the best interests of their respective companies and shareholders to engage the same law firm for the consolidation and the duly authorized representatives of First Perry and HNB executed a written instrument of informed consent waiving any potential conflicts. On two subsequent occasions, this waiver of informed consent of any potential conflicts was affirmed and ratified by the boards of directors of First Perry and HNB.

Recommendation of the First Perry Board of Directors

        The First Perry board of directors has unanimously approved the consolidation agreement and the consolidation and believes that the proposed consolidation is in the best interests of First Perry and its shareholders. Accordingly, the First Perry board of directors unanimously recommends that First Perry shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the consolidation agreement and the consolidation.

Recommendation of the HNB Board of Directors

        The HNB board of directors has unanimously approved the consolidation agreement and the consolidation and believes that the proposed consolidation is in the best interests of HNB and its shareholders. Accordingly, the HNB board of directors unanimously recommends that HNB shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the consolidation agreement and the consolidation.

Opinion of First Perry's Financial Advisor

        First Perry retained Cedar Hill Advisors, LLC ("Cedar Hill") by letter agreement dated June 6, 2008 in connection with a possible business combination with HNB to provide an opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the shareholders of First Perry of the exchange ratio governing the prospective exchange of shares of First Perry common stock for shares of Riverview common stock in connection with the proposed consolidation of First Perry and HNB to be consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the consolidation agreement. Cedar Hill was selected based upon its qualifications, expertise and experience in the financial services industry, as well as its experience in the Pennsylvania banking markets. As part of its financial advisory business, Cedar Hill is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

        As part of its engagement, Cedar Hill delivered its oral and written opinion to First Perry's board of directors at its June 18, 2008 meeting (the "Cedar Hill fairness opinion") providing that, as of that date and based upon and subject to various considerations set forth in the opinion, the "First Perry Exchange Ratio" (as defined in the Cedar Hill fairness opinion) was fair, from a financial point of view, to First Perry stockholders. At that June 18, 2008 meeting of the board of directors of First Perry, representatives of Cedar Hill made a presentation of their analyses relating to the proposed transaction

32



and, in particular, of their determination regarding the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the proposed consideration to be given to the First Perry stockholders in connection therewith.

        During its board presentation, as well as within the Cedar Hill fairness opinion, Cedar Hill noted that because the Riverview common stock for which First Perry common stock will be exchanged will be created through the consolidation, and because Riverview has no prior operating record or historical market value, the value of Riverview common stock to be received by First Perry (or HNB) stockholders cannot be specified in the usual manner. Accordingly, the fairness of the First Perry Exchange Ratio, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of First Perry must be interpreted in conjunction with the corresponding HNB Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Cedar Hill fairness opinion), since both apply to the consolidation. More specifically, the overall exchange ratio considered included: (i) First Perry Exchange Ratio of 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of First Perry common stock; and (ii) HNB Exchange Ratio of 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of HNB common stock.

        Cedar Hill evaluated the First Perry Exchange Ratio and found it to be fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of First Perry. The First Perry Exchange Ratio was determined through negotiations between First Perry and HNB. Except as provided herein, no limitations were imposed by First Perry's board of directors upon Cedar Hill with respect to investigations made or the procedures followed by Cedar Hill in rendering its opinion.

         The full text of Cedar Hill's written opinion dated June 18, 2008, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and qualifications and limitations of the review undertaken, is attached as Annex D to this prospectus/proxy statement. Cedar Hill has consented to the inclusion of its opinion in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. First Perry shareholders are urged to read this opinion carefully and in its entirety. The Cedar Hill fairness opinion is directed only to the fairness of the First Perry Exchange Ratio to the holders of First Perry common stock, from a financial point of view. It has been provided to First Perry's board of directors in connection with the board's evaluation of the consolidation, does not address the merits of the underlying decision by First Perry to engage in the consolidation, and does not constitute a recommendation to any person as to how he or she should vote in connection with the consolidation. The summary of the Cedar Hill fairness opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the full opinion.

        In conducting its analysis and arriving at its opinion, Cedar Hill had, among other things:

33


        In conducting its review and analyses and in rendering its opinion, Cedar Hill assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information used by Cedar Hill in arriving at its opinion. Cedar Hill further relied upon the assurances of the respective managements of First Perry and HNB that they were not aware of any fact, circumstances or other information that would make the information provided to Cedar Hill incomplete or misleading. Cedar Hill was not asked to and did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information and Cedar Hill does not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness of any of such information. Cedar Hill did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of any specific assets or their collectability or the collateral securing any assets, or the liabilities, contingent or otherwise (including without limitation any hedge, swap, foreign exchange, or other derivative or off-balance sheet items), of First Perry or HNB or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor was Cedar Hill furnished with any evaluations or appraisals of any of the foregoing. Cedar Hill is not an expert in evaluating loan and lease portfolios for purposes of evaluating their quality or assessing the adequacy of the allowances for losses for First Perry or HNB. As a result, Cedar Hill has not assumed any responsibility for making an independent evaluation of any loan or lease assets or the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of First Perry or HNB, and Cedar Hill has assumed such allowances were adequate and complied fully with applicable law, regulatory policy, sound banking practice and policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cedar Hill did not review or sample any loan files of First Perry, HNB or their respective subsidiaries.

        With respect to financial forecasts provided by First Perry and HNB, Cedar Hill was advised by the managements of First Perry and HNB, and it has assumed without independent investigation, that they were reasonably prepared and reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments as to the expected future financial performance of First Perry, HNB and Riverview, respectively. Cedar Hill has also relied, without independent verification, upon the estimates and judgments of the managements of First Perry and HNB as to the potential cost savings and other potential synergies (including the amount, timing and achievability thereof) anticipated to result from the consolidation. Cedar Hill expressed no opinion as to such financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they were based. Cedar Hill has also assumed that there has been no material change in First Perry's or HNB's assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to Cedar Hill. Cedar Hill assumed in all respects material to its analysis that First Perry and HNB would each remain as a going concern for all periods relevant to Cedar Hill's analysis.

        Cedar Hill's fairness opinion was based upon financial, economic, market and other conditions as they existed, and the information that was made available to Cedar Hill, as of June 18, 2008. Events occurring after any such date could materially affect the assumptions and conclusions contained in Cedar Hill's fairness opinion. Cedar Hill disclaimed any responsibility to update its opinion to account for subsequent events.

        In performing its analyses, Cedar Hill also made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business, economic and market conditions and various other matters, many of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of Cedar Hill, First Perry or HNB. Accordingly, the analyses performed by Cedar Hill are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses.

        Cedar Hill also assumed, with the permission of First Perry's board of directors and without independent investigation, that:

34


        Cedar Hill also assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or other consents or approvals (contractual or otherwise) for the consolidation, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of First Perry, HNB, or any of their respective subsidiaries, as the case may be, or on the contemplated benefits of the consolidation, including the expected synergies. It further assumed that the consolidation will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes and relied upon, with First Perry's consent, the advice First Perry received from its legal, accounting, and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the consolidation and the transactions contemplated by the consolidation agreement.

         Except as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the First Perry Exchange Ratio to the shareholders of First Perry, Cedar Hill expressed no opinion as to the structure, terms or any effect of any other aspect of the consolidation, the merits of the underlying decision of First Perry to consummate the consolidation. Further, Cedar Hill expressed no opinion as to (i) the value or price of Riverview common stock when it is issued to First Perry stockholders pursuant to the consolidation agreement; or (ii) the respective prices at which First Perry, HNB or Riverview common stock may trade at any time.

        The following represents a summary of the material analyses presented by Cedar Hill to First Perry's board of directors at its meeting held on June 18, 2008:

Corporate Structure:     Both holding companies will be consolidated into a new holding company to be headquartered in Halifax, PA. Halifax National Bank and The First National Bank of Marysville will be consolidated into one charter, but both banks will continue to operate as separately named divisions.

         Board Representation:     Each holding company will contribute seven members to the new holding company. The Chairman of the Board will be chosen by a majority of directors from HNB, and Vice Chairman will be chosen by a majority of directors from First Perry.

         Management:     Mr. Garst, current Executive Vice President of First Perry, will be named Chief Executive Officer of Riverview, and Mr. Fox, current Executive Vice President of HNB, will be named President of Riverview.

         Exchange Ratio:     First Perry shareholders will be entitled to receive 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of First Perry common stock they own. Shareholders of First Perry will own, in the aggregate, 55.0% of Riverview common stock to be outstanding immediately after the consolidation. HNB shareholders will be entitled to receive 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of HNB common stock they own. HNB shareholders will own, in the aggregate, 45.0% of Riverview common stock to be outstanding immediately after the consolidation.

         Dividend Policy:     The consolidation agreement does not set forth a specific dividend rate for Riverview common stock. However, management of First Perry advised Cedar Hill that it intends that Riverview will declare dividends equivalent to the current HNB dividend per share equivalent in order to ensure that HNB shareholders will continue to receive the same dollar amount in dividends that they received prior to the consolidation.

        Cedar Hill reviewed certain historical financial and operating data of First Perry and HNB in order to calculate the earnings from operations of First Perry and HNB for the twelve months ending March 31, 2008, and to establish the balance sheets for First Perry and HNB for March 31, 2008. These results were used as a base from which to extend the analysis. Cedar Hill noted and adjusted HNB earnings for a one time pretax gain of $456,000 in the first quarter of 2008 due to a sale of real estate.

        Cedar Hill reviewed certain financial and operating data as of March 31, 2008 of 26 publicly traded (OTCBB or Pink Sheets) banks and bank holding companies headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States with assets of between $100-$500 million and Returns on Average Assets of between 0.25% and 0.75%, which it refers to as "Peer Group".

        Cedar Hill reviewed the relative contributions to be made by First Perry and HNB to Riverview based on financial information of both companies as of, or for the period ended, March 31, 2008. The percentage of pro forma shares owned was determined using the overall exchange ratio of 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of First Perry common stock, and 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of HNB common stock. This analysis estimated that, upon consummation of the consolidation, First Perry shareholders, in the aggregate, would receive 55.0% of the outstanding shares of Riverview common stock, and the HNB shareholders would receive, in the aggregate, 45.0% of the outstanding shares of Riverview common stock.

        Cedar Hill presented an analysis of the relative contributions by First Perry and HNB to Riverview, which compared contributions of: total assets; total loans; total deposits; total tangible equity; net income for 2007; net income adjusted for non recurring gains for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008; earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 adjusted for non recurring gains; and total net income from 2006 and 2005. The analysis indicated a range of relative contribution from First Perry of between 51.3% and 59.1% with an average contribution of 55.4%. The actual relative ownership of 55.0% was within the expected range and very near the average of the values calculated.

        Although there are no two mergers of equals exactly alike, Cedar Hill believes that a comparison with other mergers of equals provides an indication of the typical contributions and resultant ownership percentages as between the merging entities. To that end, Cedar Hill compiled data from certain selected merger transactions announced nationwide between January 1, 2006 and June 18, 2008 which involved "mergers of equals" and which had combined assets of the merged entity of less than $1.5 billion. As defined by SNL Financial, LC (a financial institutions information and research firm) a merger of equals involves the combination of two institutions to create a new entity, and a merger of equals always involves stock consideration and the parties involved each own roughly half of the resulting institution. Based upon those criteria, five transactions were selected and are identified in the table below. The merger data was obtained from SNL Financial, LC. Cedar Hill reviewed the relative contributions of assets, loans, deposits, equity, tangible equity and net income and compared the results to the pro forma results from the combination of First Perry and HNB. The average contribution of the merger partner receiving the larger pro forma ownership in the selected transactions was 52.24% and the actual pro forma ownership was 54.67%. These resultant contribution and ownership percentages were comparable to the First Perry average contribution of 56.04% and pro forma ownership of 55.00% using the First Perry Exchange Ratio and the HNB Exchange Ratio.

SNL Financial: A merger of equals involves the merging of two institutions to create a new entity. A merger of equals always involves stock consideration. Usually, in a merger of equals, both parties own roughly half of the resulting institution. Selected transactions represent the listed MOE transactions in which the combined assets of the merged entity were below $1.5 billion and were announced after 1/1/2006. Data was obtained from SNL and S-4 filings.

    Post-Consolidation Riverview Shares Outstanding, Tangible Equity and Per Share Data

        Using financial data provided by First Perry and HNB, Cedar Hill calculated the post-consolidation shares outstanding; tangible equity and tangible book value per share; earnings per share adjusted for non recurring income; and expected dividend per share of Riverview common stock. First Perry and HNB had identified $620,000 in pre-tax expense synergies from which Riverview should benefit after the consolidation. Earnings per share were calculated excluding the aforementioned expected expense synergies, and then including expected expense synergies.

        While no dividend policy for Riverview has been established by the parties in the consolidation agreement, management of First Perry advised Cedar Hill that the dividend rate estimated in the analysis for Riverview should be $0.33 per share, a dividend rate sufficient to maintain the dividend per share equivalent of HNB shareholders in order to ensure that HNB shareholders will continue to receive the same dollar amount in dividends that they received prior to the consolidation.

        The analysis showed that 1,705,085 shares of Riverview common stock would be issued and outstanding after the consolidation and that each share would have tangible book value of $13.49 and a dividend of $0.33 per share, given the assumptions employed. Earnings per share of Riverview were estimated at $0.62 per share if no expense synergies were achieved and $0.85 per share if $620,000 in estimated expense synergies were achieved.

    Comparison of First Perry per Share Data Pre- and Post-consolidation

        Since there is no stock trading history or listed value for Riverview because it is not yet formed, Cedar Hill was unable to determine the equivalent dollar price per share to be received by First Perry shareholders in connection with the consolidation. Therefore, it was necessary to create proxy indicators of value per share and to compare these indicators before and after the consolidation to determine how First Perry shareholders would be affected by the consolidation. The proxy indicators selected were those closely associated with share value for financial institutions: tangible book value per share; earnings per share; and dividend per share. Cedar Hill performed an analysis of these proxy indicators of per share value to compare pre- and post-consolidation values per share equivalent of First Perry. Comparable tangible book value per share equivalents, dividend per share equivalents and core earnings per share equivalents were reviewed both excluding expected expense synergies and including expected expense synergies of $620,000.

        Before the consolidation, each share of First Perry represented tangible book value per share of $32.74, received a dividend of $0.76, and had March 31, 2008 trailing twelve months earnings per share of $1.44.

        Based upon the post-consolidation Riverview share data calculated by Cedar Hill and the overall exchange ratio of 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock per share of First Perry and 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock per share of HNB, the pro forma per share equivalent impact to First Perry was calculated as follows: tangible book value of $32.85, a 0.33% increase over pre-consolidation levels; anticipated dividends of $0.80 per share, a 5.73% increase over pre-consolidation levels; earnings per share excluding expense synergies of $1.51, a 4.41% increase over pre-consolidation levels; and earnings per share including expense synergies of $2.07, an increase of 43.89% over pre-consolidation levels.

        Cedar Hill noted that post-consolidation levels of tangible book value per First Perry share equivalent, dividends per First Perry share equivalent, and both earnings per First Perry share equivalents were all accretive to pre-consolidation levels.

    Discounted Dividend Analysis

        Cedar Hill performed a discounted dividend analysis to calculate a range of implied present values per share of First Perry common stock assuming that First Perry continued to operate on a standalone basis over a five year projection period and compared those results to the implied present values of the equivalent shares of Riverview over the same five year projection period, in order to determine how First Perry shareholders would be impacted by the consolidation. The five year earnings estimates for both cases were provided to Cedar Hill by First Perry management and the projection period were assumed to start upon the consummation of the consolidation.

        These ranges were determined by adding:

For First Perry;

    the present value of the estimated future dividend stream that the First Perry could generate over a five year period, and

    the present value of the terminal value of the First Perry common stock at the end of the five year period

For Riverview;

    the present value of the estimated future dividend stream that Riverview could generate over a five year period, and

    the present value of the terminal value of Riverview common stock at the end of the five year period.

        To determine projected dividend streams, Cedar Hill assumed a dividend payout of all cash above that level necessary to maintain a constant 6% tangible equity ratio.

        The terminal values were based upon a range of price-to-earnings multiples of 15x to 23x earnings per share (the trading range of publicly traded holding companies headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States with assets of between $100-$500 million and Returns on Average Assets of between 0.25% and 0.75%, as of March 31, 2008) and a range of discount rates employed to determine the present value per share of 10% to 15% (a range representing the estimated rate of return on comparable investments). Applying the foregoing multiples, discount rates and assumptions, Cedar Hill determined that the range of implied value per share of First Perry common stock assuming it continued to operate on a stand alone basis would be approximately $26.29 to $35.43, and the range of implied value per share of Riverview share equivalent would be approximately $33.33 to $47.84 based on the assumptions outlined herein. Cedar Hill noted the higher calculated range of value per First Perry share after the consolidation.

    Pro Forma Financial Impact Analysis

        Cedar Hill illustrated to First Perry's board of directors the impact of certain potential pro forma effects of the proposed consolidation on First Perry over a projected five year period. Cedar Hill based

42


its analysis on the same estimates provided by management of First Perry with respect to projected future earnings of First Perry and Riverview for the discounted dividend analysis discussed above. The pro forma analysis also included First Perry expected integration cost savings (no revenue enhancements were assumed) and transaction expenses, and certain purchase accounting adjustments. Based on this information, and the terms of the consolidation, Cedar Hill illustrated that, for First Perry, the consolidation could have an accretive effect on estimated earnings per share once the consolidation integration savings are achieved. Management of First Perry advised Cedar Hill that it anticipates that such savings would be achieved within one year of the consummation of the consolidation.

        Furthermore, the analysis indicated that the pro forma Leverage Ratio, Tier-One Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio would all remain above regulatory minimums for well-capitalized institutions. The actual results achieved by the combined company may vary from projected results, and such variations may be material.

        Additionally, Cedar Hill considered and discussed with the First Perry board of directors that the dividend discount analysis and pro forma financial impact analysis are widely used valuation and analysis methodologies, but the results of such analyses are highly dependent upon numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof may be beyond the control of First Perry, HNB and Cedar Hill.

        In arriving at its opinion, Cedar Hill performed a variety of financial analyses, the material portions of which are summarized above. The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Cedar Hill or of Cedar Hill's presentation to First Perry's board of directors. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an opinion is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Cedar Hill did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Cedar Hill believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses and the factors considered by it, without considering all such analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses set forth in its opinion.

        Cedar Hill has not had any prior financial advisory relationship with First Perry or HNB. Cedar Hill is not a broker-dealer or an investment advisor. Therefore, Cedar Hill does not engage in the business of effecting transactions in common stock of First Perry or HNB, as a market maker or otherwise. Cedar Hill does not, for compensation, provide advice on the sale, purchase or value of the common stock of First Perry or HNB. Cedar Hill does not produce published research reports or investment analysis on First Perry or HNB.

    Compensation of Cedar Hill

        Pursuant to a letter agreement dated June 6, 2008 between Cedar Hill and First Perry, Cedar Hill agreed to provide to First Perry's board of directors in connection with the proposed consolidation the Cedar Hill fairness opinion. In exchange for this agreement, First Perry paid Cedar Hill a $7,500 retainer upon execution of the letter agreement, and paid an additional fee of $32,500 upon the delivery of the Cedar Hill fairness opinion. Additionally, First Perry has agreed to reimburse Cedar Hill for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including travel, outside legal fees and related charges, up to a maximum of $5,000 and to indemnify Cedar Hill and related persons against certain liabilities, from and arising out of or based upon Cedar Hill's engagement as financial advisor by First Perry and the rendering of its opinion.

Opinion of HNB's Financial Advisor

        HNB retained Danielson Capital, LLC ("Danielson Capital") to provide HNB's board of directors with an opinion as to the fairness to its stockholders of the financial terms of a business combination between HNB and First Perry to create a new holding company, Riverview. HNB selected Danielson Capital for its knowledge, expertise, and reputation in the financial services industry as well as its knowledge of Pennsylvania markets and banking organizations operating in those markets. Danielson Capital is regularly engaged in the valuation of banks and bank holding companies in connection with business combinations, acquisitions and other securities transactions.

        Danielson Capital prepared the fairness opinion for HNB in connection with the proposed business combination and reviewed share allocation and other terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation between First Perry and HNB. At the June 18, 2008, board meeting, Danielson Capital rendered its oral and written opinion directly to the HNB board of directors that as of the date of the opinion, also June 18, 2008, the financial terms of the business combination were fair to HNB's shareholders from a financial point of view. The HNB board approved the consolidation agreement at this meeting.

         The full text of Danielson Capital's opinion is attached as Appendix E to this proxy statement/prospectus. Danielson Capital has consented to the inclusion of its opinion in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Shareholders of HNB stock are encouraged to read Danielson Capital's opinion carefully and in its entirety for a discussion of the assumptions, comparisons and projections that were made in arriving at its opinion. Danielson Capital's opinion is directed only to the fairness to HNB shareholders from a financial point of view as of the date of the opinion. The opinion does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the business combination and does not constitute a recommendation to HNB shareholders as to how the shareholder should vote on this combination.

        In arriving at its opinion, Danielson Capital, among other things:

    Reviewed the consolidation agreement.

    Reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to HNB and First Perry.

    Reviewed certain internal business and financial information relating to HNB and First Perry prepared by each bank's executive management.

    Discussed the past and current operations, financial condition and future prospects of HNB and First Perry with HNB's and First Perry's executive management.

    Discussed the assessment of the strategic rationale and potential benefits of the business combination with members of HNB's executive management.

    Compared certain financial and stock market information for both HNB and First Perry with similar publicly traded banks.

    Reviewed the potential cost savings of the combination as presented by the executive management of HNB and First Perry.

    Analyzed the pro forma impact on earnings per share, capital per share and tangible capital per share based on assumptions relating to management's calculations of potential cost savings.

    Compared the contribution of assets, liabilities, equity and market capital, and other relevant items of HNB and First Perry.

    Considered such other factors and performed other analyses as were deemed appropriate.

44


        In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, Danielson Capital did not obtain any independent appraisal of assets or liabilities of HNB or First Perry. Furthermore, Danielson Capital did not independently verify the information provided by HNB or First Perry and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all such information.

        In preparing its opinion, Danielson Capital performed a variety of financial analyses. Danielson Capital believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that consideration of portions of such analyses could create an incomplete view of Danielson Capital's opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving subjective judgments and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.

        In its analyses, Danielson Capital used and relied upon projections that were prepared or reviewed by the executive management of HNB and First Perry. HNB and First Perry do not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to Danielson Capital. Such projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Thus, actual results could vary significantly from those used in the projections.

        Additionally, Danielson Capital made certain assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions, and other matters, many of which were beyond HNB's or First Perry's control. Any estimates contained in Danielson Capital's analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results of value, which may be significantly more or less favorable than such estimates. Estimates of the value of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may eventually trade or be sold.

        The following is a summary of the analyses and procedures considered by Danielson Capital in connection with its opinion.

    Summary of Transaction

        HNB and First Perry will combine in a business combination into a newly formed Riverview. Under the terms of the consolidation agreement, HNB shareholders will receive 45% of Riverview common stock and First Perry shareholders will receive 55% of Riverview common stock. It is the intent of both HNB and First Perry that this business combination will qualify as a tax-free transaction. The new Riverview will be regulated by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors ("Federal Reserve").

        Halifax National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HNB, and The First National Bank of Marysville, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Perry, will merge into a single bank charter. The resulting bank will be a national bank regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and its deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to the maximum applicable limits.

        Based on HNB's and First Perry's equity as of March 31, 2008, with consideration given to contributed assets, loans, deposits, common equity, tangible equity, earnings and other pertinent items, it was determined that HNB shareholders would receive 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of HNB common stock owned and First Perry shareholders would receive 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of First Perry common stock owned. The difference in these ratios reflects the difference in the current number of shares outstanding of each bank and the ratio needed to ensure HNB shareholders receive 45% of Riverview common stock and First Perry shareholders receive 55% of Riverview common stock.

        Danielson Capital noted that post-combination, Riverview will have 14 directors. Seven of the directors will be from HNB and seven will be from First Perry. The chairman of Riverview will be selected by members of the current HNB board. The vice chairman will be selected by members of the current First Perry board.

45


        At the executive level, Robert M. Garst of First Perry will become chief executive officer of Riverview and Kirk D. Fox of HNB will become president of Riverview. Robert Weidler of First Perry will become the chief financial officer of Riverview. Paul Zwally of First Perry will become the chief lending officer of Riverview's banking subsidiary. All four will be offered employment contracts.

        As a condition to this business combination, Garst, Fox, and Zwally have agreed to waive the change of control clauses in their current contracts and to sign new contracts to be effective with Riverview upon the combination. The employment contract offered to Garst is substantially similar to his current employment contract. The employment contract offered to Fox provides for additional compensation and has a reduced term of three years. The contracts offered to Zwally and Weidler will be one year contracts commensurate with their experience.

        There is only one employment contract where a change of control will be exercised. Thomas N. Wasson of HNB has a contract that will enable him to continue to receive pay for a certain amount of time upon a change of control.

        As a part of the business combination, there will be an employment contract offered to William Hummel, the chief executive officer of First Perry. He will receive $40,000 annually for four years for certain services to be provided to Riverview.

        To protect both HNB and First Perry, the business agreement contained termination fees payable under certain conditions.

    Pre-Combination Stock Price

        In opining as to the fairness of the business combination, Danielson Capital first determined a likely value range for HNB and First Perry's common stocks. The analysis evaluated, among other things, HNB's and First Perry's financial performance, financial condition, dividend yield, stock liquidity, geographic location and other pertinent data as compared to three groups of banks with similar traits.

        Danielson Capital compared HNB and First Perry to nine commercial banks (the "Small Bank Comparables") in Indiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, with assets under $300 million as of March 31, 2008, that traded an average of 200 shares or more daily. De novo banks, non-comparable banks, and banks in the Philadelphia and New York City areas were excluded.

        The Small Bank Comparables consisted of the following nine banks:

        Danielson Capital noted that, while there are differences, there is nothing materially different from performance and balance sheet strength perspectives that make either HNB or First Perry much better or worse than Small Bank Comparables. There are more differences with the Local Comparables in that their performance is significantly better as a group, they are much larger, and they have lower capitalization than HNB and First Perry. Thus, Danielson Capital concluded that the Small Bank

47



Comparables are more applicable in determining the pricing range of HNB and First Perry stock. Additionally, because of the similarities between HNB and First Perry, their stocks should be priced on the same basis.

        In determining the price of a bank's stock, normally earnings determine pricing, however, when earnings are low as they are for HNB, First Perry, and the Small Bank Comparables, it is tangible equity that often determines and supports the stock price. The price to tangible book of the Local Comparables is less useful as it reflects the higher earnings of the group. However, since the banks in the Local Comparables are all located in nearby counties, their performance as a group demonstrates potential of the local market served by both HNB and First Perry.

        If the median price times earnings of the Small Bank Comparables and Local Comparables were applied to HNB and First Perry, the resulting price would be much lower than the pricing based on tangible book value. As the pricing based on earnings returned too low of a value, Danielson Capital concluded that pricing based on price to tangible book was the best measure of value and that the Small Bank Comparables, which have similar earnings to HNB and First Perry is the most applicable group.

        Using the banks in the Small Bank Comparables, excluding outliers at the top and bottom, the range of price to tangible book is from 97% to 121%. As prices below tangible book are too low, Danielson Capital determined that the logical range is from 100% to 121% of tangible book. The midpoint of this range is 111% of tangible book.

    HNB:   If this range of 100% to 121% of tangible book were applied to HNB stock, the resulting value would be $34.46 to $41.70 per share, with a midpoint of 111% of tangible book, or $38.25 per share.

    First Perry:   If this same range were applied to First Perry stock, the resulting value would be $32.87 to $39.77 per share, with a midpoint of $36.49 per share.

        Danielson Capital noted that these prices, particularly for HNB, were below the trading prices of both stocks in 2007 and the early part of 2008. However, since the volume of trades in both stocks is so light, their historical trading prices do not represent a fair determination of the value. The Small Bank Comparables, while also lightly traded, traded more than either HNB or First Perry, and, as a group, provides good guidance as to the value of both stocks. Additionally, the median pricing of the Local Bank Comparables at 138% of tangible book for a group with better earnings implies that HNB's price to tangible book should be significantly lower than 138% of tangible book.

        Danielson Capital also noted that the Middle Atlantic Banks had a median price to tangible book of 106% and that their median return on average assets and equity of 0.70% and 8.43%, respectively, were only slightly better than those of HNB and First Perry. Since this is a much larger group and some of the banks have very good liquidity, their median pricing is a good check on the valuation of HNB and First Perry stock.

        Danielson Capital also considered the recent stock trading history of HNB and First Perry. Trades in HNB's stock in 2007 and in early 2008 have been at roughly $50 per share, which is 145% of tangible book and well above the pricing of all the Small Bank Comparables and even the median of the better performing Local Comparables. Trades in First Perry's stock in 2007 were at roughly $40 per share and those few trades that occurred in early 2008 were at a slightly lower $35 per share. On a price to tangible book basis, the stock price of First Perry fell from 122% in 2007 to 106% in the first part of 2008. The latter is identical to the price to tangible book of the Middle Atlantic Banks and almost the same as the Small Bank Comparables. Thus, Danielson Capital noted that recent trades in HNB stock were at prices above the medians of all three comparable groups, while recent trades in First Perry stock were at levels similar to the medians of the Small Bank Comparables and the Middle Atlantic Banks.

    Cost Savings Analysis

        Danielson Capital noted that the projected cost savings of the business combination, including current cost savings and near term future costs are $600,000 to $700,000, on a pre-tax basis. This includes $600,000 in personnel cost savings already identified. Other cost savings from consolidating back office operations and various vendors will be substantial, but will be almost entirely offset by increases in costs necessary to meet the demands of the market and regulatory requirements.

        The impact of cost savings at the low end of the range, $600,000, is significant. On an after-tax basis, assuming the increase in income is taxed at the statutory rate of 34%, this results in almost $400,000 in additional after-tax income. On a combined basis, using adjusted and annualized first quarter 2008 net income, the combined earnings of HNB and First Perry would be more than $1.5 million.

Assumes 1,750,000 shares are issued and outstanding as a result of the combination.

        The potential increase in cash earnings and cash EPS is important and is the primary reason for this combination. Since 2005, HNB's earnings have been well below where they were from 2002 through 2004. The proposed combination gives HNB the opportunity to increase the cash EPS of its shareholders by 26% to 31%, depending on the actual cost savings eventually achieved.

        The increase in cash EPS by 26% to 31% is significant, but the outsized effect has much to do with HNB's low current earnings. To illustrate, assuming HNB earnings of $561,000, adding earnings of about $178,000 ($600,000 less $204,000 in taxes times 45% ownership), is an increase of just over 30%.

50


        The above analysis, though, does not take into account any amortization of intangible assets created by the combination, which would be a non-cash expense and would not affect cash EPS. As this is a non-premium or low-premium combination, the amount of goodwill or intangible assets created should be relatively low and should not impact the decision to move forward with the combination or the valuation in this opinion which is based on tangible capital or tangible book value, rather than capital or book value, which includes intangible assets. However, any amortization of intangibles created by this combination may have a large impact on reported earnings or EPS that may offset a portion of the earnings gain from cost savings.

        In considering the impact on book value and tangible book value, Danielson Capital determined that the combination of HNB and First Perry will be accretive to HNB's book value and have almost no effect on its tangible book value. The accretion to HNB's book value, however, will be influenced by the eventual determination of the core deposit intangible and any goodwill created by the combination. It is difficult at this point to make a final determination, but since this will be a low premium combination, the amount of core deposit intangible or goodwill created will not be large.

        For illustrative purposes, however, the following table shows goodwill and intangible assets of $1 million and $4 million. In terms of book value, if goodwill and intangible assets of $1 million or $4 million are created, the combination is accretive to the book value of HNB shareholders. At the lower end, the accretion to book value is 3.5% and at the higher end, the accretion is 16.0%. However, on a tangible book basis, there is a small and almost negligible dilution of .7%, regardless of the amount of goodwill or intangible assets added.

    Post-Combination Stock Price

        Danielson Capital determined the pre-combination stock pricing of HNB and First Perry primarily by using a range of price to tangible book ratios from a group of small banks with similar performance, the Small Bank Comparables. In determining the post-combination price range, the best comparison remains the price to tangible book of the Small Bank Comparables. The Small Bank Comparables had a median asset size of $226 million, which is roughly the same size as the combined companies, as well as similar earnings.

51


        The primary reason for this business combination is cost savings and the resulting increase in earnings. Based on management's estimate of the potential cost savings, cash EPS should be higher by 26% to 31% as a result of this combination, though as mentioned earlier the size of the increase has much to do with the current low earnings of both banks. Other synergies resulting from the business combination will be offset by investments in infrastructure and regulatory compliance preventing a larger increase in earnings. As a result, the combination will increase cash EPS to HNB shareholders more than on a standalone basis, but not enough to warrant a valuation based upon earnings. Thus, the price to tangible book range of 100% to 121%, as determined by the Small Bank Comparables, is still applicable.

        The combined company, if its meets its cost savings goals, could boost its earnings to about $1.5 to $1.6 million, exclusive of any amortization of intangibles, which are non-cash items and do not affect tangible book. At this level of earnings, returns on average assets and equity would be about .75% and just under 7%, respectively. Comparatively, four of the nine Small Bank Comparables have returns on assets and equity in excess of .70% and 7.85%, respectively, and five of the eight Local Comparables are in excess of .85% and 10.00%, respectively. Thus, the increase in earnings, while a significant and very positive step, is not enough to significantly improve the pricing multiple of the combined entity.

        However, there should still be some small increase in the pricing multiple to reflect this higher level of earnings. The pre-combination price range was 100% to 121% of tangible book, with a midpoint of 111% of tangible book. Post combination, the pricing would be in the top half of the range from 109% to 118% of tangible book.

    Riverview:   If this range of 111% to 121% of tangible book were applied to the newly formed Riverview's stock, the resulting value would be $15.07 to $16.43 per share, with a midpoint of 116%, or $15.75 per share.

    HNB:   If these values were converted back to HNB's original basis, the value range would be $37.99 to $41.41 per share, with a midpoint of $39.70 per share.

    Contribution Analysis

        One of the key elements of this, or any business combination, is the contribution each party brings to the combined company and how those contributions are reflected in the resulting ownership. The ownership percentage should be a combination of many factors including assets, loans, deposits, common equity, tangible equity, and earnings. Danielson Capital determined that although earnings are normally the primary basis for determining ownership, in this case, because the earnings for both companies are low and roughly equivalent as a percent of average assets, equity should be used as the primary determinant of the resulting ownership percentage of the combined company, albeit the other factors, including earnings, were considered as well.

Adjusted to remove one-time gain from asset sale.

        Based on the balance sheet items, HNB contributes 41% of the assets, 41% of the loans and 44% of the deposits. Assets, loans and deposits are important since they are determinants of earnings, but size can be misleading as differing cost of funds and yields impacts the value contributions of these items.

        The most important balance sheet component is capital, particularly tangible capital (also referred to as equity and tangible equity). On a combined basis, HNB would contribute 45% of capital and First Perry would contribute 55%. Since neither bank has any intangible assets, the tangible capital contributions would be the same. If market capital were used based on the pricing determined in the previous section, the contributions would not differ from those determined by capital as both banks

53



were priced using the same multiple. Thus, using market capital, the contributions remain 45% for HNB and 55% for First Perry.

        Although the earnings of both parties are much reduced from what they were in the past, the pre-tax income bears a close resemblance to the split based primarily on equity. In fact, in 2007, the contributions based on pre-tax income were 45% for HNB and 55% for First Perry. Based on the 2008 first quarter adjusted earnings, contributions in pre-tax income were 48% for HNB and 52% for First Perry, albeit this is a very short period to be used in a contribution calculation.

        After the proposed combination, HNB shareholders would own 45% and First Perry shareholders would hold 55% of the combined institution. This reflects the current difference in contributed capital, but takes into consideration assets, loans, deposits, and various components of earnings.

    Discounted Dividends Analysis

        Danielson Capital applied discounted dividend calculations to HNB and Riverview's estimated dividend stream under several specific growth and earnings scenarios. The projected dividend streams and terminal values, which were based on a range of multiples, were then discounted to present value using discount rates based on assumptions regarding the rates of return required by holders or prospective buyers of HNB common stock.

Assumes annual growth rate of 4%, assets of $204 million, tangible equity of $23.7 million, a return on average assets of .77% (which includes $400,000 in after-tax cost savings), a tax rate of 15% and 1,750,000 shares outstanding. The per share data is adjusted to HNB's pre-combination basis.

        However, when earnings are low as they are for HNB and First Perry, any value determined by the discounted dividends is normally well below book value and is not a good determinate of value. Thus,

54



the discounted dividends method was not used in determining the pre-combination or post-combination value of HNB or Riverview.

    Conclusion

        The proposed business combination of HNB and First Perry to create Riverview is a strategic business combination intended to enhance the ability of both companies to adjust to the changes taking place in the financial services industry and to improve their long-term competitive situation and investment value. The ownership percentage agreed upon by HNB and First Perry of 45% and 55%, respectively, results in exchange ratios of 2.520 and 2.435 shares, respectively. The share apportionment is primarily based on the capital contributions of each bank, but it also considered the contribution of market capital, assets, loans, deposits and earnings. Using financial data as of March 31 2008, HNB contributed 45% of the capital, 45% of the market capital, 41% of the assets, 41% of the loans and 44% of the deposits. In terms of adjusted pre-tax earnings in the first quarter of 2008 and in 2007, HNB contributed 48% and 45%, respectively.

        Considering all of these facts, the share apportionment that results from the agreed upon exchange ratios is fair and beneficial to the shareholders of HNB. Thus, it is Danielson Capital's opinion that the combination of HNB and First Perry into Riverview, where HNB shareholders own 45% of Riverview and First Perry shareholders own 55% of Riverview, is fair to the shareholders of HNB from a financial point of view.

    Compensation of Financial Advisor

        Pursuant to a contract dated June 6, 2008, Danielson Capital was paid a fee of $40,000, plus normal out-of-pocket expenses. This fee was not contingent upon the completion of the transaction. Danielson Capital has not performed any material services or received any material compensation by HNB in the past two years and no further services have been contemplated.

Terms of the Consolidation

    Effect of the Consolidation

        Upon completion of the consolidation, First Perry and HNB will be consolidated with and into Riverview, and the separate legal existence of First Perry and HNB will cease. Riverview will be a corporation formed as a result of the consolidation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All property, rights, powers, duties, obligations, debts, and liabilities of First Perry and HNB will automatically be deemed transferred to Riverview. Riverview will be governed by the articles of incorporation as set forth in the articles of consolidation, and the bylaws of Riverview will be adopted on the effective date of the consolidation by Riverview's board of directors.

    What You Will Receive

        Each share of First Perry common stock that a First Perry shareholder holds at the effective date of the consolidation will automatically be exchanged into the right to receive 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock. Each share of HNB common stock that an HNB shareholder holds at the effective date of the consolidation will automatically be exchanged into the right to receive 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock.

        In addition, Riverview will not issue fractional shares of Riverview common stock to First Perry or HNB shareholders. If you are otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of Riverview common stock under the exchange procedure described above, you will instead have the right to receive cash, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of the fraction of a share that would otherwise be due to you multiplied by the closing price of the Riverview common stock on the first day Riverview common stock is traded after the effective date of the consolidation.

55


    Exchange Procedures

        As promptly as practicable after the effective date of the consolidation, Riverview will send to each First Perry and HNB shareholder transmittal materials for use in exchanging certificates representing First Perry or HNB common stock into Riverview common stock. At that time, those First Perry and HNB shareholders will need to carefully review the instructions, complete the materials enclosed with the instructions, and return the materials along with their stock certificates. After receipt of the properly completed letter of transmittal and stock certificates, Riverview will mail a certificate representing the whole number of shares of Riverview common stock no later than 20 business days following receipt of certificates and a check representing the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, no later than 20 business days following the first day Riverview common stock is traded after the effective date of the consolidation.

        Certificates of shares of Riverview common stock will be dated the effective date of the consolidation and will entitle the holders to dividends and all other rights and privileges pertaining to Riverview common stock from and after the effective date of the consolidation to which all holders of Riverview common stock are entitled. Until the certificates representing First Perry and HNB common stock are surrendered for exchange after completion of the consolidation, holders of those certificates will not receive any stock consideration, dividends, or distributions on any Riverview common stock into which the shares have been converted. If the certificates are surrendered at a date following one or more record dates for the payment of dividends or any other distribution, any unpaid dividends or other distributions will be paid without interest.

        Following the effective date of the consolidation and until surrendered, each First Perry or HNB stock certificate is evidence solely of the right to receive the consolidation consideration. In no event will Riverview, First Perry, or HNB be liable to any former First Perry or HNB shareholder for any amount paid in good faith to a public official or agency pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar law.

        Until you receive the Riverview stock certificate, you will not be able to sell your Riverview shares in the open market and, thus, will not be able to avoid losses resulting from any decline in the market price of Riverview common stock during this period.

        First Perry and HNB shareholders are urged to read carefully the information set forth under the caption "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences" beginning on page    and to consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the consolidation's tax consequences to them.

    Effective Date

        Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the consolidation, First Perry and HNB will file the articles of consolidation with the Pennsylvania Department of State on (1) the tenth business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the consolidation, or (2) another date to which First Perry and HNB mutually agree. The consolidation will become effective upon the filing of the articles of consolidation or on another date specified therein. First Perry and HNB presently expect to close the consolidation in the fourth quarter of 2008. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Terms of the Consolidation—Conditions to Consolidation" beginning on page    .

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the boards of directors of HNB and First Perry may respond to unsolicited inquiries relating to an acquisition proposal, in each case in good faith after consultation with its legal advisors, that the failure to do so would constitute a breach of their fiduciary duties.

        As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, appropriate applications and notice for approval have been or will be filed with regulatory authorities. First Perry and HNB have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to complete the transaction. These approvals include approval from the Comptroller of the Currency, the regulator of national banks, a waiver or approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, acting under its delegated authority from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), and approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, the primary regulator of Pennsylvania-chartered deposit-taking institutions. The consolidation cannot proceed in the absence of the required regulatory approvals.

    Management and Operations After the Consolidation

        On the effective date of the consolidation, the total number of persons serving on the board of directors of Riverview will be 13. Seven of the 13 persons to serve initially on the board of directors of Riverview will be appointed by the First Perry board of directors and six of the 13 persons will be appointed by the HNB board of directors. An additional unidentified director will be chosen during the year after the effective date by the former HNB directors. Those directors will be mutually agreed upon by First Perry and HNB among the current directors. The directors will be distributed among the three classes, A, B, and C, as closely as possible with two classes having five directors and one class having four directors. Each director will serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified in accordance with applicable law, the articles of incorporation, and the bylaws of Riverview.

        In the event that, prior to the effective date of the consolidation, any person selected to serve on the board of directors of Riverview is unable or unwilling to serve in that position, the board of directors from which that person was appointed will designate another person to serve in that person's stead in accordance with the provisions of the consolidation agreement. If, within one year after the effective date of the consolidation, a director formerly of First Perry or HNB is unable or unwilling to continue to serve on the board of directors of Riverview, then a successor to that person will be chosen by a majority of the remaining directors who are then on the board of directors of Riverview and who previously served on the board of directors of the company from which the director who is unable or unwilling to continue to serve was a member.

        Upon the effective date of the consolidation, the following will be among the executive officers of Riverview:

    1.
    Chairman of the Board, who will be chosen by a majority of the directors of HNB;

    2.
    Vice Chairman of the Board, who will be chosen by a majority of the directors of First Perry;

    3.
    Robert M. Garst, who will serve as Chief Executive Officer; and

    4.
    Kirk D. Fox, who will serve as President.

        Each executive officer of Riverview will hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or otherwise in accordance with applicable law, the articles of incorporation and consolidation, and the bylaws of Riverview, and that person's respective employment agreement.

65


    Employment; Severance

        First Perry and HNB will endeavor to continue the employment of all current First Perry or HNB employees in positions that will contribute to the successful performance of the combined organization. If within three months after the effective date of the consolidation, Riverview elects to displace or eliminate a position of an employee not subject to an employment or change-in-control agreement for reasons other than cause and reasons directly related to the consolidation, then Riverview will make severance payments to that employee equal to two weeks of compensation for each year of the employee's combined service with First Perry or HNB or their subsidiaries (subject to applicable taxes and withholding requirements), with a minimum of two weeks and a maximum of 26 weeks. Terminated First Perry or HNB employees will have the right to continue coverage under the group health plans of Riverview or Riverview National Bank in accordance with COBRA.

    Employee Benefits

        First Perry or HNB employees who become employees of Riverview or its subsidiaries will, immediately upon the effective time of the consolidation, be eligible for all Riverview benefit plans that are in effect at the time upon the terms of the applicable benefit plan. Those employees will be given full credit for years of service with First Perry or HNB subject to the provisions of the applicable plan.

Interests of Directors, Officers, and Others in the Consolidation

        Certain members of First Perry's and HNB's management and board of directors may have interests in the transaction in addition to their interests as First Perry or HNB shareholders, respectively. The First Perry and HNB boards of directors were aware of these factors and considered them, among other matters in approving the consolidation agreement.

    Share Ownership

        As of [                        ], 2008, the record date for the special meetings of First Perry and HNB shareholders:

    1.
    The directors and certain executive officers of First Perry may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 32,922 shares, representing 8.33% of the outstanding shares of First Perry common stock.

    2.
    The directors and certain executive officers of HNB may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 58,908 shares, representing 18.85% of the outstanding shares of HNB common stock.

    3.
    The directors and certain executive officers of First Perry may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of no shares of the outstanding shares of HNB common stock.

    4.
    The directors and certain executive officers of HNB may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of no shares of the outstanding shares of First Perry common stock.

        For more information, see "Description of First Perry-Beneficial Ownership," beginning on page            , and "Description of HNB—Beneficial Ownership," beginning on page            .

    Indemnification and Insurance

        Riverview has agreed after the consolidation's effective date to indemnify the directors, officers, and employees of First Perry and HNB against all losses, claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), liabilities, judgments, or amounts paid in settlement or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the consolidation effective date to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

66


        The parties have also agreed that for six years after the consolidation's effective date, Riverview will, at its expense, maintain the current or substantially similar directors' and officers' liability insurance for the former directors and officers of First Perry and HNB and its subsidiaries with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the consolidation's effective date.

    Board Positions and Compensation

        Upon completion of the consolidation, seven (7) of the thirteen (13) persons to serve initially on the board of directors of Riverview at the effective date shall be appointed by the First Perry board of directors and six (6) of the thirteen (13) persons shall be appointed by the HNB board of directors. An additional unidentified director will be chosen during the year after the effective date by the former HNB directors. Each person who serves as a director of Riverview will be compensated in accordance with the policies of Riverview.

    Director Deferred Fee Agreements and Director Emeritus Agreement

        The First National Bank of Marysville currently maintains a deferred fee agreement for its directors. Under the plan, the director will be paid his deferred account balance as previously elected as either a lump sum or annuitized. The First National Bank of Marysville also maintains a director emeritus agreement. Under the emeritus agreement, the director will be paid his director fee as of the date of his retirement for a period of time depending on his election. The director can elect 100% of his director fee for 5 years, 75% of his fee for 80 months, or 50% of his director fee for 10 years.

        Halifax National Bank does not have a deferred fee agreement or a director emeritus agreement for its directors. However, upon the consolidation, the directors of Halifax National Bank serving on the board of directors of Riverview National Bank will receive the same benefits under similar or identical terms as The First National Bank of Marysville directors receive under their deferred fee and director emeritus agreement. Directors of HNB that will serve as directors of Riverview will be given full credit towards Riverview's director emeritus agreement for their years of service at Halifax National Bank.

    Employment Agreements, Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreements, and Release Agreements

        Halifax National Bank is a party to an executive employment agreement with Messrs. Thomas Wasson and Kirk Fox. See "Description of HNB—Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements" beginning on page            . The First National Bank of Marysville is a party to executive employment agreements with Messrs. Robert Garst, Paul Zwally, and Robert Weilder. See "Description of First Perry—Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements" beginning on page            .

        Halifax National Bank is a party to a Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement with Messrs. Thomas Wasson and Kirk Fox. See "Description of HNB—Executive Compensation—Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements" beginning on page            .

        In connection with the consolidation agreement, The First National Bank of Marysville and Mr. Robert Garst and Halifax National Bank and Mr. Kirk Fox entered into amendments to their respective employment agreements which provide that the consolidation of the holding companies into Riverview do not constitute a change in control under their respective employment agreements and do not trigger any benefits thereunder. In addition, Halifax National Bank and Mr. Kirk Fox entered into an amendment to his supplement executive retirement plan agreement which provides that the consolidation would not trigger the automatic vesting of the benefits under the agreement, but a subsequent termination of employment would trigger full vesting.

        It is anticipated that Riverview will enter into new employment agreements with Messrs. Garst and Fox to provide uniformity with the executive employment agreements for Riverview executives. Both

67



agreements will reflect the executive's new position with Riverview. Other than changes made in order to be compliant with Treasury regulations and other administrative changes, it is anticipated that the new agreements will contain the following terms. The term of Mr. Fox's agreement will be a rolling three years with an evergreen clause as opposed to his current agreement which has a specific termination date. Any payout after a change in control (other than the consolidation and formation of Riverview), a termination without cause, or a termination for good reason would be based upon the executive's current annual base salary, plus the highest bonus for the previous two years. The payout multiplier will be three times. In addition, he would be entitled to a reimbursement of benefits subject to the Treasury regulations.

        Also in connection with the consolidation agreement, each of Messrs. William Hummel and Thomas Wasson has been offered a termination and release agreement. In connection with these agreements First Perry and HNB have agreed to pay $132,500 and $245,850, respectively. In addition, First Perry and HNB have offered Mr. Hummel a four (4) year employment agreement whereby Mr. Hummel will receive $40,000 per year, including typical employee benefits and an automobile, in consideration for his assistance in the consolidation and subsequent marketing of Riverview.

Accounting Treatment

        Riverview will account for the consolidation under the purchase method of accounting. Riverview will record, at fair value, the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities of First Perry and HNB. Under generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill is not amortized, but is assessed annually for impairment with any resulting impairment losses included in net income. Riverview will include in its results of operations the results of First Perry's and HNB's operations only after completion of the consolidation.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

        The following discussion addresses the material United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation to First Perry and HNB shareholders who are a United States person within the meaning of section 7701 (a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code"), hold shares of either First Perry or HNB common stock as a capital asset and exchange their respective shares of First Perry or HNB common stock in the consolidation solely for Riverview common stock, and receive cash in lieu of a fractional share of Riverview common stock. This discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this document and all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to First Perry or HNB shareholders in light of their particular circumstances and does not address aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be applicable to First Perry or HNB shareholders subject to special treatment under the Code (including banks; tax-exempt organizations; insurance companies; dealers in securities; traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting; investors in pass-through entities; First Perry or HNB shareholders who hold their respective shares of First Perry or HNB common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, or conversion transaction; First Perry or HNB shareholders who acquired their respective shares of First Perry or HNB common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation; First Perry or HNB directors, officers, and employees that hold options to acquire First Perry or HNB common stock; and First Perry or HNB shareholders who are not United States persons). In addition, the discussion does not address any aspect of state, local, or foreign taxation. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax aspects set forth below.

68


         First Perry and HNB shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular United States federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of the consolidation.

        Both First Perry and HNB have received the opinion of their special counsel, Bybel Rutledge LLP, dated as of the date of the proxy statement/prospectus, substantially to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations, and assumptions set forth or referred to in that opinion (including factual representations contained in certificates of officers of First Perry and HNB) which are consistent with the state of facts existing as of the date of the proxy statement/prospectus, the consolidation constitutes a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

        The tax opinions to be delivered in connection with the consolidation are not binding on the IRS or the courts, and none of Riverview, First Perry, or HNB intends to request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. In addition, if any of the facts, representations, or assumptions upon which the opinions are based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation could be adversely affected. Assuming that the consolidation will be treated as reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the discussion below sets forth the material United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation to First Perry and HNB shareholders who are United States persons, hold shares of First Perry or HNB common stock as a capital asset and exchange their respective shares of First Perry or HNB common stock in the consolidation solely for Riverview common stock, and receive cash in lieu of a fractional share of Riverview common stock.

        If, pursuant to the consolidation, a First Perry or HNB shareholder exchanges all of his or her respective shares of First Perry or HNB common stock actually owned by him or her solely for shares of Riverview common stock, that holder will not recognize any gain or loss except in respect of cash received in lieu of any fractional share of Riverview common stock (as discussed below). The aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of Riverview common stock received in the consolidation will be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of First Perry or HNB common stock surrendered for the Riverview common stock reduced by the tax basis allocable to any fractional share of Riverview common stock for which cash is received. The holding period of the Riverview common stock will include the period during which the surrendered shares of First Perry or HNB common stock were held by the respective First Perry or HNB shareholder. If a First Perry or HNB shareholder has differing bases or holding periods in respect of his or her respective shares of the surrendered First Perry or HNB common stock, that shareholder should consult his or her tax advisor prior to the exchange with regard to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of Riverview common stock received in the exchange.

        Cash received by either a First Perry or HNB shareholder in lieu of a fractional share of Riverview common stock generally will be treated as received in redemption of the fractional share, and a gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the shareholder's aggregate adjusted tax basis of the respective shares of First Perry or HNB common stock surrendered that is allocable to the fractional share. The gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for those shares of either First Perry or HNB common stock is more than one year.

69


        If either a First Perry or HNB shareholder receives cash in exchange for surrendering their respective shares of First Perry or HNB common stock, the shareholder may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28% if the shareholder is a non-corporate United States person and (1) fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number; (2) is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on its federal income tax returns, or (3) in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against a shareholder's United States federal income tax liability provided that the shareholder furnishes the required information to the IRS.

         The foregoing discussion is not intended to be a complete analysis or description of all potential United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation. In addition, this discussion does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, a First Perry's or HNB's shareholder's individual status or circumstances. Moreover, the discussion does not address (1) the potential United States federal income tax consequences of the consolidation to First Perry or HNB shareholders who are not United States persons, (2) any non-income tax consequences of the consolidation, (3) any foreign, state, or local tax consequences of the consolidation, or (4) the tax consequences of the consolidation to holders of either First Perry or HNB stock options. Accordingly, First Perry and HNB shareholders are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisors to determine the particular United States federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them of the consolidation.

Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

        Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, shareholders of First Perry and HNB have the right to dissent from the consolidation and to obtain payment of the "fair value" of their First Perry or HNB common stock, as the case may be, if the consolidation is consummated. The term "fair value" means the value of First Perry or HNB common stock immediately before completion of the consolidation, taking into account all relevant factors, but excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the consolidation.

        The following summary of the steps necessary to exercise the right to dissent is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Section 1930 and Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, which are attached as Annex F to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Each step must be taken in the indicated order and in strict compliance with the applicable provisions of the statute in order to perfect dissenters' rights. The failure of any shareholder to comply with these steps will result in the shareholder receiving the consideration contemplated by the consolidation agreement. See "Proposal No. 1—The Consolidation—Terms of the Consolidation". Any shareholder of First Perry or HNB who contemplates exercising the right to dissent is urged to read carefully the provisions of Section 1930 and Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law.

        Any written notice or demand which is required in connection with the exercise of dissenters' rights, whether before or after the effective date of the consolidation, must be sent to the following locations:

In the case of a First Perry shareholder   In the case of an HNB shareholder
First Perry Bancorp, Inc.   HNB Bancorp, Inc.
101 Lincoln Street   3rd and Market Streets
P.O. Box B   P.O. Box A
Marysville, PA 17053   Halifax, PA 17032
Attention:   Robert M. Garst   Attention:   David A. Troutman
    Executive Vice President       Corporate Secretary

70


        Shareholders who wish to dissent must:

        Neither submitting a proxy against nor a vote in person against adoption and approval of the consolidation will constitute the necessary written notice of intention to dissent described above. Beneficial owners of First Perry or HNB common stock whose shares are held of record in "street name" by a brokerage firm or other nominee must obtain the written consent of the record holder to the beneficial owners' exercise of dissenters' rights and must submit the consent to First Perry or HNB, as the case may be, no later than the time of the filing of their notice of intention to dissent.

        If the consolidation is adopted and approved by the required vote of First Perry's and HNB's shareholders at their respective special meetings, First Perry and HNB will mail a notice to all dissenters who gave due notice of intention to demand payment and who refrained from voting in favor of the consolidation. The notice will state where and when a demand for payment must be sent and where certificates for First Perry and HNB common stock must be deposited in order to obtain payment. It also will include a form for demanding payment and a copy of Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law. The time set for receipt of the demand for payment and deposit of stock certificates will not be less than 30 days from the date of mailing of the notice.

        Shareholders who fail to timely demand payment or fail to timely deposit stock certificates, as required by First Perry's or HNB's notice, will not have any right to receive payment of the fair value of their First Perry or HNB common stock.

        Promptly after the consolidation is complete, or upon timely receipt of demand for payment if the consolidation already has been completed, Riverview will either remit to dissenters who have made demand and have deposited their stock certificates the amount that Riverview, as successor to First Perry and HNB, estimates to be the fair value of the First Perry and HNB common stock or give written notice that no such remittance is being made. The remittance or notice will be accompanied by:

        If Riverview does not remit the estimated fair value for shares with respect to which demand for payment has been made and stock certificates have been deposited, then Riverview will return any certificates that have been deposited. Riverview will mark returned certificates and any certificates subsequently issued in exchange therefor to record the fact that demand for payment has been made. Transferees of shares so marked will not acquire any rights in First Perry, HNB, or Riverview other than those rights held by the original dissenter after such dissenter demanded payment of fair value.

71


        If a dissenter believes that the amount stated or remitted by Riverview is less than the fair value of the First Perry or HNB common stock, the dissenter may send Riverview his or her own estimate of the fair value of the First Perry or HNB common stock, as the case may be, which will constitute a demand for payment of the amount of the deficiency. If Riverview remits payment of its estimated value of a dissenter's First Perry or HNB common stock, as the case may be, and the dissenter does not file his own estimate within 30 days after the mailing by Riverview of its remittance, the dissenter will be entitled to no more than the amount remitted to him or her by Riverview.

        Within 60 days after the latest to occur of (1) the completion of the consolidation, (2) the timely receipt by First Perry, HNB, or Riverview, as the case may be, of any demands for payment, or (3) timely receipt by First Perry, HNB, or Riverview, as the case may be, of any estimates by dissenters of fair value, if any demands for payment remain unsettled, First Perry, HNB, or Riverview, may file, in the case of First Perry, in the Court of Common Pleas of Perry County or, in the case of HNB or Riverview, in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, an application requesting that the fair value of the First Perry or HNB common stock be determined by the Court. In such case, all dissenters, wherever residing, whose demands have not been settled must be made parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares, and a copy of the application must be served on each dissenter.

        If First Perry, HNB, or Riverview were to fail to file an application, then any dissenter, on behalf of all dissenters who have made a demand and who have not settled their claim against First Perry, HNB, or Riverview, as successor, may file an application in the name of First Perry, HNB, or Riverview, as successor, at any time within the 30-day period after the expiration of the 60-day period and request that the fair value be determined by the Court. The fair value determined by the Court may, but need not, equal the dissenters' estimates of fair value. If no dissenter files such an application, then each dissenter entitled to do so shall be paid First Perry's, HNB's, or the Riverview's estimate of the fair value of the First Perry or HNB common stock, as the case may be, and no more, and may bring an action to recover any amount not previously remitted, plus interest at a rate the Court finds fair and equitable.

        First Perry, HNB, and Riverview intend to negotiate in good faith with any dissenting shareholder. If after negotiation, a claim cannot be settled, then First Perry, HNB and/or Riverview, as successor, intends to file an application requesting that the fair value of the First Perry or HNB common stock be determined by the Court.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

        The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information and explanatory notes present how the combined financial statements of First Perry and HNB may have appeared had the businesses actually been combined as of the date indicated. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet at June 30, 2008 assumes the consolidation was completed on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2007 and six months ended June 30, 2008 gives effect to the consolidation as if the consolidation had been completed on January 1, 2007 and January 1, 2008, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information shows the impact of the consolidation on First Perry's and HNB's combined financial position and results of operations under the purchase method of accounting with First Perry treated as the acquirer from an accounting standpoint. Under this method of accounting, Riverview will be required to record the assets and liabilities of First Perry at their historical values and HNB at their estimated fair values as of the date the consolidation is completed.

        The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of both First Perry and HNB that can be found elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

         The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of the period presented. Furthermore, the information does not include the impact of possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions and share repurchases, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma combined financial information, the allocation of the purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is subject to adjustment and will vary from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the consolidation based upon changes in the balance sheet including fair value estimates.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information

Note 1—Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

        The unaudited pro forma combined financial information relating to the consolidation is presented as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007. First Perry and HNB are in the process of analyzing and reviewing their accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures and, as a result of this review, may reflect changes in one or the other of First Perry's or HNB's policies or procedures in future presentations of combined results in order to conform to the accounting policies that will be determined to be most appropriate for the combined company. However, in the presentation provided herein, no significant reclassifications were required.

        The pro forma adjustments consist of the expected purchase price adjustments necessary to combine First Perry and HNB, including the conversion of HNB common stock and First Perry common stock into shares of Riverview common stock using an exchange ratio in the consolidation agreement. In the consolidation, First Perry shareholders will receive 2.435 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of First Perry common stock they own on the effective date of the consolidation. HNB shareholders will receive 2.520 shares of Riverview common stock for each share of HNB common stock they own on the effective date of the consolidation. It is noted that because the Riverview common stock for which First Perry and HNB common stock will be exchanged will be created through the consolidation, and because Riverview has no prior operating record or historical market value, the value of Riverview common stock to be received by First Perry or HNB stockholders cannot be specified in the usual manner. As a proxy for this pro forma analysis the Riverview share price was computed using the average closing price of First Perry common stock for the period commencing two trading days prior to and ending two trading days after the consolidation was announced on June 18, 2008 (the average price was $35.00 per share as obtained from First Perry), divided by the First Perry exchange ratio of 2.435. The illustrated Riverview price for this pro forma analysis was $14.37 per share. First Perry and HNB cannot predict the value or price of Riverview's common stock will be at the closing of the transaction or how the value or price of Riverview's stock may trade at any time, including the date hereof. HNB and First Perry had no employee stock options outstanding, warrants or any other stock based obligations at June 30, 2008 that will need to be converted into Riverview common stock upon consummation of the consolidation.

        Consideration has been given to providing an estimate of the anticipated transaction costs to be incurred in connection with the consolidation. Such costs are expected to approximate $0.9 million on a pre-tax basis and have been reflected in the pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet. Under current accounting rules, certain other costs will not be accruable at the closing of the consolidation and will be recognized in periods both before and after the date of the consolidation. The detailed plans for all of the restructuring initiatives have not been fully formulated and, as such, no consideration was given to recognition of these expenses in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet or in the unaudited pro forma combined income statement.

        The consolidation will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations which requires that the assets and liabilities of HNB be adjusted to fair value as of the date of the acquisition.

        The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared to include the estimated adjustments necessary to record the assets and liabilities of HNB at their respective fair values and represents managements' best estimates based upon the information available at this time. These pro forma adjustments are expected to be revised as additional information becomes available and additional detailed analysis is performed. Furthermore, the final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the consolidation is completed and after completion of a final analysis to determine the fair values of HNB's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the closing date of the transaction. The final purchase accounting adjustments may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. Increases or decreases in the fair value of certain balance sheet amounts including loans, securities, deposits and related intangibles and debt will result in adjustments to both the balance sheet and income statement. Such adjustments, when compared to the information shown in this document, may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to

goodwill while changes to other assets and liabilities may impact the statement of income due to adjustments in the yield and/or amortization/accretion of the adjusted assets and liabilities.

        The unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented herein does not necessarily provide an indication of the combined results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the consolidation actually been completed as of the assumed consummation date, nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.

Note 2— Pro Forma Adjustments

(1)
Adjustment to record the following: (a) goodwill arising from the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets of $750,000; (b) the recognition of core deposit intangible of $779,000. The nature, amount, and amortization method of possible intangibles are being analyzed by management. The adjustments related thereto and recorded herein are based on current assumptions and valuations which are subject to change. The core deposit intangible has assumed to be amortized on a sum of the years method over a ten year period, resulting in expense of $142,000 in the first year.

(2)
Adjustment to reflect the net deferred tax assets arising from both the recognition of the tax effects of expenses incurred to complete the transaction and the tax effects associated with the adjustments necessary to reflect the acquisition of net assets on a fair value basis. Deferred taxes were recorded using the federal tax rate of 34%.

(3)
Adjustment to reflect the fair values of certain interest-bearing deposit liabilities based on current interest rates for similar instruments. The adjustment will be recognized over the next 5 years using a level yield amortization method based upon the maturities of the deposit liabilities. This adjustment is expected to decrease pro forma pre-tax interest expense by $291,000 in the first year following consummation.

(4)
Adjustment to fair value HNB's long-term debt which consists primarily of FHLB advances at various terms and maturities. The adjustment will be substantially recognized over the next 3 years using a level yield amortization method based upon the maturities of the debt. This adjustment is expected to increase pro forma pre-tax interest expense by $25,000 in the first year following consummation.

(5)
Adjustment to record the pre-tax estimate of transaction expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the consolidation. Such expense includes fees related to professional services provided in connection with the consolidation as well as an estimate of the associated severance, deferred compensation obligations and contract cancellations. Interest income has been reduced for the cost to fund the cash outlay for transaction expenses, which approximates $35,000 in the first year following consummation.

(6)
Adjustment to reflect Riverview common stock expected to be issued in exchange for issued and outstanding shares of HNB and First Perry.

(7)
Adjustment to eliminate HNB's historical shareholders' equity.

(8)
Adjustment to reflect the fair value of owned building to estimated current market values. Annual depreciation expense will increase approximately $12,000 annually for this adjustment.

79


Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information (Continued)

Note 2— Pro Forma Adjustments (Continued)

(9)
Adjustment to reflect the fair values of investments based on current market valuations. Under FASB No. 115, such adjustments are reflected in historical amounts but have been included on a net of tax basis as an adjustment to equity. Such amounts were eliminated in item (7) and therefore will require prospective accretion of the discount to properly record earnings under the purchase method of accounting. The adjustment will be substantially recognized over the next 4 years using the sum of the years amortization method based upon the expected life of the investments. This investment adjustment is expected to increase pro forma pre-tax interest income by $74,000 in the first year following consummation.

(10)
Adjustment to reflect the fair values of loans based on current interest rates, pricing characteristics, expected cash flows and other factors intrinsic to the computation of the fair value of the loan portfolio. The adjustment will be substantially recognized over the next 8 years using the sum of the years amortization method based upon the expected life of the loans. This adjustment is expected to reduce pro forma pre-tax interest income by $18,000 in the first year following consummation.

(11)
Management reviewed the HNB loan portfolio to reflect the impact of adoption of Statement of Position 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." This guidance addresses the accounting for the differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans, including those acquired in a business combination, if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality considerations. Based upon management's analysis there is no adjustment needed at the current time related to the implementation of Statement of Position 03-3.

Description of Riverview

Organization and Description of Business of Riverview

        Upon the effective date of the consolidation, Riverview will succeed to all the business, properties and assets of, and become subject to all of the debts, obligations and liabilities, of both First Perry and HNB. Riverview's sole business will be to act as a holding company for Riverview National Bank.

Organization and Description of Business of Riverview National Bank

        Riverview National Bank will be formed from the consolidation of the charters of The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank. However, after the consolidation, the branches of The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank will continue to operate under their current names.

Supervision and Regulation of Riverview

         The Holding Company Act of 1956.     On the effective date of the consolidation, Riverview will become subject to the provisions of the Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board. The following restrictions will apply:

In addition, a bank holding company may not:

unless the business is determined by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to banking. In making this determination, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether these activities offer benefits to the public that outweigh any possible adverse effects.

81


The risk-based capital guidelines are required to take adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk, and risks of nontraditional activities.


         Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents a comprehensive revision of laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is applicable to all companies with equity or debt securities registered or that file reports under the

82


Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act establishes: (i) requirements for audit committees, including independence, expertise, and responsibilities; (ii) additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the reporting company; (iii) standards for auditors and regulation of audits; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for the reporting company and its directors and executive officers; and (v) and increased civil and criminal penalties for violations of the securities laws. Many of the provisions were effective immediately while other provisions become effective over a period of time and are subject to rulemaking by the SEC. Because neither First Perry's nor HNB's common stock is registered with the SEC, they are not currently subject to the 1934 Act. However, we expect that Riverview will be subject to the 1934 Act upon the effective date of the consolidation. If Riverview becomes subject to the 1934 Act we will incur additional expense in complying with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the resulting regulations.

        The Federal Reserve Board permits bank holding companies to engage in activities so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident of banking. In 1997, the Federal Reserve Board significantly expanded its list of permissible non-banking activities to improve the competitiveness of bank holding companies. The following list includes activities that a holding company may engage in, subject to change by the Federal Reserve Board:

83


84


85


        The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act, became law in November 1999, and amends the Holding Company Act of 1956 to create a new category of holding company—the financial holding company. To be designated as a financial holding company, a bank holding company must file an application with the Federal Reserve Board. In order to become a financial holding company, Riverview must be and remain well capitalized and well managed, as determined by Federal Reserve Board regulations and maintain at least a "satisfactory" examination rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. Once a bank holding company becomes a financial holding company, the holding company or its affiliates may engage in any financial activities that are financial in nature or incidental to financial activities. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve may approve a proposed activity if it is complementary to financial activities and does not threaten the safety and soundness of banking. The Act provides an initial list of activities that constitute activities that are financial in nature, including:

Supervision and Regulation of Riverview National Bank

        Banks operate in a highly regulated environment and are regularly examined by federal and state regulatory authorities. The following discussion concerns various federal and state laws and regulations and the potential impact of such laws and regulations on Riverview National Bank.

        To the extent that the following information describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions themselves. Proposals to change laws and regulations are frequently introduced in Congress, the state legislatures, and before the various bank regulatory agencies. We cannot determine the likelihood or timing of any such proposals or legislation, or the impact they may have on Riverview National Bank. A change in law, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on Riverview National Bank's business.

        Much to the same extent as The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank, the operations of Riverview National Bank will be subject to federal and state statutes applicable to banks chartered under the banking laws of the United States, to members of the Federal Reserve System, and to banks whose deposits are insured by the FDIC. Riverview National Bank operations will be subject to regulations of the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC.

        The primary regulator for Riverview National Bank will be the OCC. The OCC has the authority under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to prevent a national bank from engaging in any unsafe or unsound practice in conducting business or from otherwise conducting activities in violation of the law.

86


        Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern, but are not limited to, the following:

        Riverview National Bank will be a member of the Federal Reserve System and, therefore, the policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board have a significant impact on many elements of Riverview National Bank's operations including:

        Management cannot predict the effect of changes to such policies and regulations upon Riverview National Bank's business model and the corresponding impact they may have on future earnings.

        The FDIC imposes a risk-related premium schedule for all insured depository institutions that results in the assessment of premiums based on a bank's capital and supervisory measures. Under the risk-related premium schedule, the FDIC assigns, on a semiannual basis, each depository institution to one of three capital groups, the best of these being well capitalized. For purposes of calculating the insurance assessment, Riverview National Bank is expected to be well capitalized. The FDIC adjusts the insurance rates every six months and has indicated the possibility that all banks may again be required to pay deposit insurance premiums in the future if current trends related to insured deposits versus insurance funds continue.

        Riverview National Bank is not expected to pay premiums for deposit insurance; however, it is subject to assessments to pay the interest on Financing Corporation bonds. Congress created the Financing Corporation to issue bonds to finance the resolution of failed thrift institutions. These assessment rates are set quarterly.

        Under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), as amended, the OCC is required to assess all financial institutions that it regulates to determine whether these institutions are meeting the credit needs of the community that they serve. The Act focuses specifically on low and moderate-income neighborhoods. The OCC takes an institution's CRA record into account in its evaluation of any application made by any of such institutions for, among other things:

        The CRA, as amended, also requires that the OCC make publicly available the evaluation of a bank's record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low-and-moderate-income

87



neighborhoods. This evaluation includes a descriptive rating of either outstanding, satisfactory, needs to improve, or substantial noncompliance, and a statement describing the basis for the rating. These ratings are publicly disclosed.

    Capital Adequacy

        Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), institutions are classified in one of five defined categories as illustrated below.

Capital Category
  Total Risk-Based Ratio   Tier 1 Risk-Based Ratio   Tier 1 Leverage Ratio  

Well capitalized

    ³ 10.0     ³ 6.0     ³ 5.0  

Adequately capitalized

    ³ 8.0     ³ 4.0     ³ 4.0 *

Undercapitalized

    <8.0     <4.0     <4.0 *

Significantly undercapitalized

    <6.0     <3.0     <3.0  

Critically undercapitalized

                £ 2.0  

        We expect Riverview National Bank's capital ratios exceed the regulatory requirements to be considered well capitalized for Total Risk-Based Capital, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital, and Tier 1 Leverage Capital.

        In the event an institution's capital deteriorates to the undercapitalized category or below, FDICIA prescribes an increasing amount of regulatory intervention, including:

        If capital reaches the significantly or critically undercapitalized level, further material restrictions can be imposed, including restrictions on interest payable on accounts, dismissal of management and (in critically undercapitalized situations) appointment of a receiver. For well-capitalized institutions, FDICIA provides authority for regulatory intervention where they deem the institution to be engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, or if the institution receives a less than satisfactory examination report rating for asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity, or sensitivity to market risk.

        From time to time, legislation is enacted that has the effect of increasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding permissible activities, or affecting the competitive balance between banks and other financial institutions. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the operations and taxation of banks, bank holding companies and other financial institutions are frequently made in Congress, and before various regulatory agencies. No prediction can be made as to the likelihood of any major changes or the impact such changes might have on Riverview National Bank's operations. Certain changes of potential significance to Riverview National Bank that have been enacted recently and others, which are currently under consideration by Congress or various regulatory or professional agencies, are discussed below.

        The USA Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 became law on March 9, 2006. This enactment extended the requirements of the original act signed into law in October of 2001.

        The rules, developed by the Secretary of the Treasury, require that banks have procedures in place to:

        The regulators continue to stress the importance of the Bank Secrecy Act. The OCC is enhancing the risk assessment requirements for banks. These include requiring banks to report risk assessments on bank products, customers, and geographies.

        Riverview National Bank will implement the required internal controls and continues to enhance the policies, procedures, and monitoring programs to ensure proper compliance. Many of the new provisions added by the USA Patriot Act apply to accounts at or held by foreign banks, or accounts of, or transactions with foreign entities.

        The bank regulatory agencies jointly published the " Interagency Guidance on Authentification in an Internet Banking Environment ." This guidance requires banks to implement enhanced security measures to authenticate customers using internet based services to process transactions that either access customer information or transfer funds to a third parties. The principles of this guidance apply to telephone banking systems and call centers if the same level of access is available through these services.

        The banking industry had pushed for reform beginning in 1999 with the top two goals of merging the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) and increasing the coverage levels. The banking industry was highly concerned about the fairness and efficiency of the fund. Specifically, a historical approach was utilized through which credits and dividends would be paid back to those banks that contributed on a historical basis if and when the reserve ratio reaches a cap. Importantly, the previous 23 basis point premium that was to be enforced when the fund dropped below 1.25% was addressed because the sharp increase of higher premiums would be impacting the industry when it could least afford to pay the higher premiums.

        On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed into law the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Included within that legislation, however, is the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. This new law makes the following changes:

89


        The Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 was passed by Congress on April 14, 2005 and signed into law by the President on April 20, 2005.

        This Act amends both the Bankruptcy Code and the Truth in Lending Act. The Bankruptcy Code revisions became effective October 15, 2005. The Bankruptcy Code was amended, adding requirements to the process for filing for bankruptcy. The provisions related to the Truth in Lending did not become effective until October of 2006. It requires lenders to:

        As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the United States, Riverview National Bank's business will be particularly susceptible to changes in the federal and state legislation and regulations. Over the course of time, various federal and state proposals for legislation could result in additional regulatory and legal requirements for Riverview National Bank. Riverview National Bank can predict neither if any such legislation will be adopted nor if adopted how it would affect the business of Riverview National Bank. Past history has demonstrated that new legislation or changes to existing legislation usually results in a heavier compliance burden and therefore, generally increases the cost of doing business.

Description of Property

        Riverview does not own or lease any properties. Following the consolidation, Riverview will own or lease all the properties currently owned or leased by First Perry and HNB or their subsidiaries. For information about properties that First Perry and HNB own or lease see the sections entitled "Description of First Perry Bancorp, Inc.—Properties" and "Description of HNB Bancorp, Inc.—Properties".

        We anticipate that after the consolidation that Riverview will pay all directors $15,000 annually for board service including all committee work and board meetings. Riverview will hold board meetings at least monthly.

        Additionally, Riverview expects it will adopt a director deferred fee agreement and director emeritus agreement similar to those currently maintained by First Perry for directors of Riverview. Current directors of HNB that will serve as directors of Riverview will be given full credit towards Riverview's director emeritus agreement for their years of service at Halifax National Bank.

Important factors that could impact First Perry's operating results include, but are not limited to, (i) the effects of changing economic conditions in First Perry's market areas and nationally, (ii) credit risks of commercial, real estate, consumer and other lending activities, (iii) significant changes in interest rates, (iv) changes in federal and state banking laws and regulations which could impact First Perry's operations, (v) funding costs and (vi) other external developments which could materially affect First Perry's business and operations.

Executive Summary

        Net income increased $60,000, or 12.6%, to $535,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $475,000 for the prior year.

        The following are the fundamental changes that have occurred between the two reporting periods:

        Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2007 were $1.35 as compared to $1.20 in 2006. Return on average assets was 0.47% in 2007 compared to 0.42% in 2006. Return on average equity was 4.34% in 2007 compared to 3.94% in 2006.

        For the year ending 2007, First Perry grew assets by $8,774,000 or 7.7%, to $122,680,000 at December 31, 2007, compared to assets of $113,906,000 at December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the following:

Critical Accounting Policies

        First Perry's consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of certain accounting policies. Certain of these policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or are subject to variations which may significantly affect First Perry's reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas can have a material impact on future financial condition and results of operations.

        First Perry has identified several policies as being critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies relate to the allowance for loan losses, and accounting for income taxes.

        First Perry performs periodic and systematic detailed reviews of its loan portfolio to assess overall collectibility. The level of the allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio at any point in time. While these estimates are based on substantiated methods for determining allowance requirements, actual outcomes may differ significantly from estimated results, especially when determining allowances for business, construction, and business real estate loans. These loans are normally larger and more complex, and their collection rates are harder to predict. Personal loans, including personal mortgage, consumer credit card and other consumer loans, are individually smaller and perform in a more homogenous manner, making loss estimates more predictable. The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements describe the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in this report.

        Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date. To the extent that current available evidence about the future raises doubt about the likelihood of a deferred tax asset being realized, a valuation allowance is established. The judgment about the level of future taxable income, including that which is considered capital, is inherently subjective and is reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. First Perry has deemed that its deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized, and accordingly, has not established a valuation allowance on them.

Results of Operations

        First Perry's primary business is derived from the management of spread income generated between the interest received on its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The following table presents the daily average interest rates earned on assets and the daily interest rates paid on liabilities for the periods set forth within the table.

        Much of what determines spread income for First Perry is the interest rate environment its sole operating institution, The First National Bank of Marysville, operates within. 2006 was characterized as a very difficult environment for many banks as margins compressed due to a flat, and at certain times, a slightly inverted yield curve. 2007 saw a yield curve that had multiple swings and changes due to increasingly unstable economic conditions stemming from market reactions to mortgage liquidity problems. While the yield curve was restored to a traditional sloping yield curve that assisted The First National Bank of Marysville in its spread management, the broader marketplace's need for liquidity increased competition for funding. This increased the funding costs at a time when the loan portfolio was increasing. The interest income generated on earning assets has outpaced the increase in interest expense. Management expects to continue to increase spread income while taking on the same general interest rate risk currently being managed.

        For years ended 2007 versus 2006 average loans increased $5,832,000, or 7.8%. Growth from all liability funding sources (average deposits and average borrowings) was $1,978,000 for 2007 versus 2006. The residual funding came from cash flow generated by runoff from The First National Bank of Marysville's investment portfolio. For the same periods, the average balance of investments in bonds and restricted stock were reduced by $6,910,000 and $2,277,000, respectively. A portion of the cash flow generated from the runoff of the investment portfolio was allocated to the expansion of the branch network and associated infrastructure. The changes in the interest-earning asset mix in 2007 from securities to higher yielding loans generated an increase in interest income of $426,000, or 6.9% over 2006.

        Due to the increase in the competitive environment for funding encountered throughout 2007, interest expense increased by $370,000, or 12.8%, over 2006. Correspondingly, for 2007 net interest income increased by $56,000, or 1.7% over 2006 with the net interest spread increasing 5 basis points and the net interest margin increasing 4 basis points.

        Within the business plan of normal banking operations First Perry makes decisions on the mix of assets and funding it wishes to maintain. The asset mix management targets has its basis in liquidity

103


management, interest rate sensitivity, and profitability. Management proactively monitors these levels and makes decisions according to both the short and long term environment it will operate under. The risks associated with operating within these changing environments are well documented within the context of regulator reviews and bank established procedures. Similarly, management makes decisions on the mix of funding it will target and has developed contingencies to address shortfalls to these targets. Changes to the investment and funding mix taken together with changes in the interest rate environment affect net interest income. The next table identifies the major components of net interest income and estimates the effect of the changing mix (volume) and the changing interest rate environment (rate) on net interest income.

        During 2007, First Perry changed its asset allocation, shifting out of investment securities and into loans to produce a more profitable mix of earning assets. This move was preceded by the development of more robust monitoring and risk identification systems through knowledge of industry best-practices and dialogue with The First National Bank of Marysville's regulator, The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The benefit of this change is expected to provide increased interest income over subsequent reporting periods. The change in volume produced an additional $177,000 in interest income while also providing an increase of $249,000 due to changes in the interest rate environment and the repricing of assets during this period.

        Management, partially through the establishment of an additional office in June of 2007, was able to change its funding mix, shifting out of short-term borrowings and migrating to lower cost transaction deposits, and at the same time, providing protection against rising interest rates through securing long-term debt. The cost of funding during the second half of 2007 rose dramatically along the short end of the curve due to mortgage market illiquidity and promotional pricing for the newest office. For the year, management estimates interest expense rose by $385,000 because of increases in rates on deposits and borrowings. As a result of the changes in volume and rate mix, net interest income increased by $56,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006.

        Through a quarterly analysis of the allowance for loan losses management makes a provision through a charge against current earnings. More detailed discussions of the methodology used and the adequacy of the allowance are provided in the "Allowance for Loan Losses" section within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements .

        The provision for loan losses recorded for the year ended 2006 of $295,000 exceeds the $120,000 recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007. For the year ended 2006, First Perry experienced an increase in loan growth, loan portfolio composition, and delinquency rates. For these reasons management established specific allocations through the provision for loan losses. As a result of hiring of new lending officers with greater experience and knowledge in larger credit relationships and commercial and commercial real estate lending, First Perry was able to reduce the provision in 2007. To date, First Perry has not experienced an increase in charge-off levels. Net charge-offs amounted to $17,000, or 0.02% of average loans in 2007, compared to $19,000, or 0.03% of average loans in 2006.

        Non-interest income decreased $67,000, or 12.3%, to $479,000 in 2007, compared to $546,000 in 2006. Within the category of other non-interest income, data processing/service income decreased $134,000 due to management's decision to discontinue offering shared data processing services to its clientele. The competitive nature of pricing and future prospects for growth in a changing processing

105


arena prompted this decision. Non-interest expenses for personnel and infrastructure were reduced accordingly. Management remains open to discussions to reestablish check and image processing services for smaller institutions in need of the expertise First Perry has to provide. Partially offsetting this loss of revenue, ATM and interchange fees increased as a result of new customers and increased usage of cards and machines by existing customers.

    Provision for Federal Income Taxes

        The provision for federal income taxes was $80,000 in 2007 and $36,000 in 2006, resulting in an effective tax rate, which is the ratio of income tax expense to income before taxes, of 13.0% in 2007, and 7.0% in 2006. First Perry's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to tax-exempt interest income and non-taxable bank owned life insurance. The increase in the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to 2006 is the direct result of higher pretax income, combined with a reduction in tax-exempt income.

107


    Securities

        Security investments are generally made when there is excess cash available for investment or to maintain asset-liability repricing positions desired by management. Particular security investment decisions to purchase, sell or hold may be based upon, in whole or in part, providing a source of liquidity, providing collateral for public deposits and repurchase agreements, maintaining qualifying collateral positions for access to FHLB borrowings, or to move or maintain a tax-exempt income.

        Because of the changing nature of The First National Bank of Marysville's environment and the need to correspondingly position assets, all investment securities are characterized as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. Management does not manage the investment portfolio for gains trading, but instead will shift into and out of security investments according to the decision criteria noted in the preceding paragraph.

        The investment portfolio generally consists of U.S. Government (and Government-sponsored) agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and bank-qualified municipal obligations. Investments in agency obligations are spread according to issuer, structure, and maturity as to not have a material concentration in any one type. Investments in mortgage-backed obligations are either agency guaranteed, or agency pass-through or CMO securities. Management does not deem whole loan CMO securities as a prudent investment for First Perry. No corporate-issued investments are held.

        Included in the carrying values of investment securities at December 31, 2007 is a net unrealized loss of $39,000, compared to a net unrealized loss at December 31, 2006 of $251,000. At December 31, 2007, the unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net of tax, included in shareholders' equity totaled $26,000, compared to $166,000 at December 31, 2006. The net increase in the carrying value of securities is reflective of declines in the interest rate environment and a shorter duration of the portfolio which will cause the securities to trade closer to par.

        The following table sets forth the composition of the investment security portfolio as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

        The weighted average life of the portfolio, excluding restricted equity securities, was 1.5 years at December 31, 2007, compared to 2.1 years at December 31, 2006. Generally, the average life of the investment portfolio is longer than the average life of 1.5 years held at year end, but due to increases in the loan portfolio and the decision to partially fund that growth through principal pay downs and maturities from the investment portfolio, the average life and amount of investments held has declined.

Weighted average yields are calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis assuming a tax rate of 34%.

    Loans

        The loan portfolio is the largest collective investment held by First Perry, with net total loans comprising 67.6% of assets at December 31, 2007. This represents an increase of $6,453,000 over December 31, 2006 with the primary areas of growth occurring in real estate secured construction lending and commercial lending. Significant increases occurred during 2007 after extensive loan personnel, processing and tracking changes were made throughout 2006. Management projects continued growth in the loan portfolio as additional staff has been hired and opportunities are identified in First Perry's market area.

        Lending policies are reviewed at least annually, and First Perry conducts a semi-annual independent review of the loan portfolio to provide continual monitoring of asset quality through an evaluation of the established underwriting criteria used in originating credits. Separately, every loan and loan turndown undergoes an internal audit review for conformity to established policies and a review for compliance with current regulatory lending laws.

    Risk Elements of the Loan Portfolio

        Non-performing loans include loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, and loans of which the accrual of interest has ceased because of the financial condition or performance of the borrower has generally deteriorated to the point the collection of interest and/or principal becomes doubtful. A loan is restored to accrual status only after the loan has been restored to acceptable conditions and payment performance has been sustained. Performing restructured loans defined as "troubled debt restructurings" in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15 are not disclosed as accruing loans 90 days or more past due or as nonaccrual loans. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 First Perry had no troubled debt restructurings.

110


        Foreclosed real estate is acquired through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure and is recorded at fair value. Gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate are included in non-interest income, while losses and write downs resulting from the periodic revaluations are included in non-interest expense. As of December 31, 2007 one property constitutes the entire make up of the holdings in foreclosed real estate.

        Potential problem loans are loans not disclosed as non-performing loans or troubled debt restructurings but where there is known information about possible credit problems of borrowers that causes serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 there were no potential problem loans.

        Loan concentrations exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities exceeding 10% of total loans. Particular risk is involved with concentrations because multiple borrowers may be similarly impacted by economic or similar conditions. Loans to lessors of residential buildings and dwellings have been identified as a concentration and is tracked and reviewed on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2007, loans within this grouping totaled $6,107,000.

        The following table presents non-performing loans and assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006.

    Allowance for Loan Losses

        The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established in the form of a provision expense for loan losses and is reduced by loan charge-offs net of recoveries. When loans are deemed to be uncollectible, they are charged off. Management has established a reserve that it believes is adequate for estimated losses in the loan portfolio. In conjunction with an external loan review function that operates independent of the lending function, management monitors the loan portfolio to identify risks on a timely basis so that an appropriate allowance is maintained. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, management presents a quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses to The First National Bank of Marysville's audit committee detailing significant events that have occurred since the last review.

        The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation

111



is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

        The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of impression inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

        A loan is considered impaired when, base on current information and events, it is probable that First Perry will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payment when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

        Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, First Perry does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless the loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Total

        A greater percentage of the allocation of the allowance for loan losses has shifted towards commercial, financial and agricultural loans, representing 17% of the balance at December 31, 2007 versus 13% at December 31, 2006, consistent with the growth in this portfolio combined with weakening economic factors. The unallocated portion of the reserve considers risk of error in the specific and general reserve allocation, and the imprecision associated with the estimate.

    Deposits

        First Perry generates and services deposits through The First National Bank of Marysville's traditional branch banking delivery system. As of December 31, 2007 there were 3 offices located in Perry County, and 1 office in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Promotional pricing is generally used to secure new deposits. Additionally, a merchant capture program has been established to attract more commercial deposits and increase the proportion of non-interest bearing deposits in the funding mix.

        As of December 31, 2007 deposits totaled $94,472,000 as compared to $88,563,000 at December 31, 2006, an increase of 6.7%. The majority of growth came from promotional pricing associated with interest-bearing deposit accounts from the opening of the newest office in June of 2007. The average rate paid on deposits increased in relation to the general marketplace as competition for funding increased.

        The average balance and average rate of deposit accounts for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

    Borrowings

        Short-term borrowings are generally used to meet temporary funding needs and consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and overnight and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.

        Short-term borrowings and repurchase agreements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Approximate weighted average interest rate for period

    5.31 %   4.72 %

        Long-term borrowings are generally done to provide a resource of funding that will match investment in particular groups of assets. Long-term borrowings are also utilized as a tool to control interest rate positions within the overall asset-liability management function. All borrowings of this nature have been provided through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. Long-term borrowings as of December 31, 2007 were $13,411,000 as compared to a December 31, 2006 balance of $5,459,000.

    Shareholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy

        At December 31, 2007, shareholders' equity for First Perry totaled $12,755,000, an increase of $375,000, or 3.0%, over December 31, 2006. The increase was due to an increase in net income of $535,000, less dividends paid of $300,000, and an increase in the net of tax unrealized gains on available for sale securities adjustment to equity of $140,000.

114


        Banks are evaluated for capital adequacy through regulatory review of capital ratios. Shown below are The First National Bank of Marysville's capital ratios as determined and reported to its regulator. Tier 1 capital includes common stock, surplus, and retained earnings. Total capital consists of tier 1 capital and the allowance for loan losses. The First National Bank of Marysville exceeds both the regulatory minimums and the requirements necessary for designation as a "well-capitalized" institution.

        The First National Bank of Marysville's capital ratios as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 as well as regulatory minimums and well capitalized ratios are as follows:

    17.3 %   18.8 %   8.0 %   10.0 %

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        First Perry is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments included commitments to extend credit, and to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2007, First Perry had unfunded outstanding commitments to extend credit of $14,162,000 and outstanding letters of credit of $1,442,000. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the nature, business purpose and importance of First Perry's off-balance sheet arrangements.

    Liquidity

        Liquidity, and availability to resources, represents First Perry's ability to effectively manage cash flow to support loan demand, depositors' withdrawals, operating expenses, and potential business opportunities.

        Cash and cash equivalents (cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits) represents the most readily available asset to meet such demands. At December 31, 2007 cash and cash equivalents totaled $9,083,000, compared to $3,742,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase in this position at year end December 31, 2007 was due to runoff management anticipated experiencing in the first quarter of 2008 as higher priced depositing relationships from promotional deposit gathering strategies enacted with the opening of The First National Bank of Marysville's Good Hope Road Office were set to expire. Management does not anticipate holding this level of assets in cash and cash equivalents as a long term strategy.

        First Perry maintains an investment security portfolio that provides cash flow through both scheduled and unscheduled maturities of bonds and monthly receipt of principal and interest on mortgage-backed securities. As the cash flow patterns change with regard to general interest rate conditions, the bonds held in the investment security portfolio are designated available for sale in order to ensure ready access to liquidity. As of December 31, 2007, investment securities available for sale totaled $20,290,000, compared to $24,633,000 at December 31, 2006.

        Liquidity is generated from loan maturities and normal monthly receipt of principal and interest. Major categories of loans are tracked for performance through a monthly determination of the current

115



prepayment speed which is then used in The First National Bank of Marysville's cash flow modeling process. Loan sales and/or selling participations in loans are also resources management uses to provide liquidity.

        Liability liquidity is generated through First Perry's deposit base and established borrowing lines. Deposits at December 31, 2007 totaled $94,472,000 compared to $88,563,000 at December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2007, First Perry has access to two formal borrowing lines totaling $52,240,000 with the aggregate amount outstanding on these lines totaling $13,411,000.

        Capital is considered a source of liquidity and traditionally First Perry has generated liquidity through the retention of a portion of earnings. Management will consider raising capital to provide for long-term liquidity needs as alternative to the previously named sources to liquidity.

    Inflation

        The impact of inflation upon financial institutions can affect assets and liabilities through the movement of interest rates. The exact impact of inflation on First Perry is difficult to measure. Inflation may cause operating expenses to change at a rate not matched by the change in earnings. Inflation may affect the borrowing needs and desires of consumer and commercial customers, in turn affecting the growth of First Perry's assets. Inflation may also affect the level of interest rates in the general market, which in turn can affect First Perry's profitability and the market value of assets held. First Perry actively manages its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities countering the effects of inflation.

    New Financial Accounting Standards

        Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements discusses the expected impact on First Perry's financial condition and results of operations for recently issued or proposed accounting standards that have not been adopted. To the extent we anticipate a significant impact to First Perry's financial condition or results of operations, appropriate discussion takes place in the applicable note to the consolidated financial statements.

First Perry Bancorp, Inc.
Marysville, Pennsylvania

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. First Perry Bancorp, Inc.'s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

        First Perry Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Marysville (the Bank), provide loan, deposit and other commercial banking services through three full service offices in Marysville and Duncannon, Perry County, and one full service office in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The Corporation competes with several other financial institutions to provide its services to individuals, businesses, municipalities and other organizations. The Corporation is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board while the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

        The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The following paragraphs briefly describe the more significant accounting policies.

Basis of Consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Marysville. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

        Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired by foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

        While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans 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 estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses 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 estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents, for purposes of the statement of cash flows, consists of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one day periods.

Investment Securities

        Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the classifications as of each balance sheet date.

        Investment securities available for sale are those securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory considerations and other similar factors. Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as changes in other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Any realized gains or losses, based on the amortized cost of specific securities sold, are included in current operations. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

        Declines in the fair value of individual securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks

        Restricted investments in bank stocks include Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank stocks. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB system to hold stock according to predetermined formulas. In addition, the Bank is required to hold certain amounts of restricted equity securities as part of their agreement with issuing institutions. These stocks are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Loans

        Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at unpaid principal balances net of unearned income, deferred loan fees, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is computed based on the principal balances outstanding and is credited to income as earned. Loan fees collected net of the costs of originating the loans are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the contractual life of the related loan.

        The accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or

123

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2007 and 2006

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Allowance for Loan Losses

        The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

        The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

        The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of impression inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

        A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

        Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

Premises and Equipment

        Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting and the straight-line and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. When property is retired or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Major additions or replacements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Federal Income Taxes

        The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the financial statements. Certain items of income and expense are recognized in different periods for financial reporting purposes than for federal income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities given current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for applicable income taxes.

Treasury Stock

        Repurchases of shares of the Corporation's common stock are recorded at cost as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Sales of treasury stock are credited to the accumulated cost of treasury stock using the first-in, first-out method. Differences between the sales price and cost are recorded as changes in surplus.

Advertising

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $36,000 and $41,000 for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

        Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. Weighted average shares outstanding were 395,312 in 2007 and 394,521 in 2006. The Corporation has a simple capital structure in that they do not have any common stock equivalents.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

        In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into off balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

Segment Reporting

        The Corporation operates in a single business segment consisting of traditional banking activities.

Cash Value of Life Insurance

        The Corporation is the owner and beneficiary of several single-premium life insurance policies on certain Bank directors. These amounts are immediately available to the Corporation upon surrender of the policies.

Comprehensive Income

        Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Changes in certain assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which represents a component of shareholders' equity, represents the net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, net of taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Corporation had no reclassification adjustments as a component of other comprehensive income as they had no gains or losses upon the sale of securities.

New Accounting Standards

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements , ("SFAS 157") which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2008, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption of SFAS 157 in 2008, the primary effect on the Corporation will be to expand on the required disclosures pertaining to the methods used in determining fair values.

        In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157," that permits a one-year deferral in applying the measurement provisions of SFAS 157 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities (non-financial items) that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity's financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, if the change in fair value of a non-financial item is not required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on an annual basis or more frequently, the effective date of application of SFAS 157 to that item is deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact, if any,

126


First Perry Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2007 and 2006

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


that the adoption of FSP 157-2 will have on the Corporation's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2008. The Corporation has not elected to measure any financial instruments at fair value under this standard.

        FASB Statement No. 141 (R)  Business Combinations was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a Company's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The new pronouncement will impact the Corporation's accounting for business combinations beginning January 1, 2009.

        In September 2006, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, "Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-4"). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee's benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee's active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee's retirement. Alternatively, if the policy holder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The adoption of EITF 06-04 on January 1, 2008 had no an impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles . This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Corporation is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Restriction on Cash and Due from Banks

        The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The required reserve at December 31, 2007 and 2006 approximated $614,000 and $475,000, respectively. In addition, the Bank's other correspondents may require average compensating balances as part of their agreements to provide services.

        Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment, at least on a quarterly basis, but management's intent is to hold all investments until maturity unless market, economic or specific investment concerns warrant a sale of securities. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

        At December 31, 2007, four U.S. Government agencies and fifteen mortgage-backed securities have unrealized losses. At December 31, 2006, eleven U.S. Government agencies, one state and municipal obligation and fifteen mortgage-backed securities had unrealized losses. Management believes the unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates since the individual securities were purchased and not to underlying credit issues. As management has both the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity, or recovery in fair value, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

        The Corporation, in the ordinary course of business, has loan, deposit and other routine transactions with its executive officers, directors and entities in which they have principal ownership. Loans are made to such related parties at substantially the same credit terms as other borrowers and do not represent more than the usual risk of collection. Activity for these related party loans was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

Balance—January 1

  $ 2,423

        Included within the loan portfolio are loans on which the Corporation has discontinued the accrual of interest. Such loans approximated $932,000 and $765,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. If interest income had been recorded on all non-accrual loans outstanding during 2007 and 2006, interest income would have increased by $13,000 and $21,000, respectively.

        Loans 90 days or more past due but still accruing interest at December 31, 2007 and 2006 approximated $210,000 and $515,000, respectively.

        At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the total recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $932,000 and $765,000, respectively, of which $6,000 and $-0- required a valuation allowance, which approximated $6,000 and $-0-, respectively. The average investment in impaired loans for 2007 and 2006 was approximately $1,046,000 and $431,000, respectively. Interest income recognized on impaired loans in both 2007 and 2006 was approximately $34,000.

Note 7—Pension and Other Benefit Plans (Continued)

Director Emeritus Plan

        To promote orderly succession of the Corporation's Board of Directors, the Corporation adopted the "Director Emeritus Agreement" in 2001. The agreement provides for a defined annual benefit based on the Director's final fee. The benefit can be offered to a Director upon termination of service on or after 65 years of age and with ten or more continuous years of service. Provisions of the agreement are contingent on the Director electing to become a Director Emeritus, being available to act in the capacity of consultant to the Board, continuing to act as a "Goodwill Ambassador" for the Corporation, and avoiding any competitive arrangements that are contrary to the best interests of the Corporation. The agreement also contains other general limitations and death benefit provisions. Expenses recorded under the terms of this agreement were $12,000 and $30,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Agreements

        The Corporation maintains two Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) agreements to provide specified benefits for key executives. The agreements were specifically designed to encourage key executives to remain as employees of the Corporation. The agreements are unfunded with benefits to be paid from the Corporation's general assets. After normal retirement, benefits are payable to the executive or his or her beneficiary in equal monthly installments for a period of 20 years. There are provisions for death benefits should a participant die before his or her retirement date. These benefits are also subject to change of control and other provisions.

        The Corporation also maintains a "Director Deferred Fee Agreement" (DDFA) which allows electing directors to defer payment of their directors' fees until a future date. The estimated present value of the future benefits is accrued over the effective dates of the agreement using an interest factor computed as a percent of the Corporation's return on equity. The agreements are unfunded, with benefits to be paid from the Corporation's general assets.

        The accrued benefit obligations of the two plans of $238,000 at December 31, 2007 and $262,000 at December 31, 2006 is included in other liabilities. Expense related to these plans totaled $44,000 and $54,000 in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Pennsylvania Corporate Tax Credit

        In 2007, the Bank completed the construction of its new main office in Marysville. As part of this project, the Bank applied for a $250,000 tax credit under the Pennsylvania Enterprise Zone Tax Credit Program which authorizes tax credits to private companies that make qualified investments in designated enterprise zones by rehabilitating, expanding or improving buildings within an enterprise zone. The Corporation has recorded a $216,000 credit in 2007, representing the amount of costs management initially estimated it was eligible to receive as a tax credit and is included in the Bank shares tax expense (credit) on the consolidated statement of income. In July 2008, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue made a final determination that the Bank was entitled to the full $250,000 credit, and an additional $34,000 was recognized as income in 2008. The credit was used to offset the Bank's 2008 Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax liability, with the remainder available to offset the 2009 tax liability.

Note 9—Borrowings

        The Corporation has an unsecured line of credit agreement with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank in the amount of $3,000,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006. Interest accrues based on the daily Federal Funds rate. There were no amounts outstanding on the line of credit at December 31, 2007 or 2006.

        Repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at the amount the securities will be subsequently sold or repurchased for, plus accrued interest. The Corporation requires investment securities to be held as collateral for the repurchase agreements. The securities underlying the agreements were under the Corporation's control.

        The Corporation has entered into agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) which allow for borrowings up to a percentage of certain qualifying collateral assets. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $49,240,000. The borrowing capacity is collateralized by security agreements in certain residential real estate backed assets of the Corporation, including loans and investments. Borrowings from the FHLB include long-term borrowing agreements which are subject to restrictions and penalties for early repayment under certain circumstances and borrowings under repurchase advance agreements.

Note 10—Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk

        The Bank 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. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit, typically residential mortgage loans and commercial loans and, to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.

        The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments. The Bank does not anticipate any material losses from those commitments.

        Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there are no violations 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 Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extensions of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may

Note 10—Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk (Continued)


include investments, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. On loans secured by real estate, the Bank generally requires loan to value ratios of no greater than 85%.

        Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and similar transactions. The terms of the letters of credit vary and may have renewal features. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The current amount of the liability as of December 31, 2007 for guarantees under standby letters of credit is not material.

        The Bank's exposure to credit loss for loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit, including home equity lines of credit) and standby and performance letters of credit were as follows at December 31:

 
  2007   2006  
 
  (Dollars in Thousands)
 

Commitments to grant loans

  $ 2,778   $ 2,172  

Unfunded commitments of existing loans

    11,384     6,526  

Standby and performance letters of credit

    1,442     1,168  
           

  $ 15,604   $ 9,866  
           

Note 11—Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Substantially all of the Corporation's business activity, including loans and loan commitments, is with customers located within its trade area of the counties of Perry, Cumberland and Dauphin, Pennsylvania. The concentration of credit by type of loan is set forth in the Loans note to the financial statements.

Note 12—Regulatory Matters and Shareholders' Equity

        Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Corporation in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Regulatory approval is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds net profits (as defined) for that year combined with the retained net profits for the two preceding years. At December 31, 2007, $934,000 of undistributed earnings of the Bank, included in consolidated shareholders' equity, was available for distribution to the Corporation as dividends without prior regulatory approval.

        The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, that if undertaken, could have a direct material affect on the Corporation and the consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting

Note 12—Regulatory Matters and Shareholders' Equity (Continued)


practices. The capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines 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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier 1 capital to average total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, that the Bank meets all the capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

        As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the regulators, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

        The Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule in 2006 that expands the definition of a small bank holding company ("BHC") under the Board's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and the Board's risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for bank holding companies. Based on the ruling, the Corporation meets the eligibility criteria of a small BHC and is exempt from regulatory requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.

        The Bank's actual capital ratios at December 31 and the minimum ratios required for capital adequacy purposes and to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions are summarized below.

Note 13—Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (SFAS 107), requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.

        Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments. However, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends, and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.

        The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation's assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation's disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The Corporation, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.

Investment Securities (Including Mortgage-Backed Securities)

        Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans

        For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and which entail no significant changes in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

        The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates their fair value.

Note 13—Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks

        No ready market exists for this stock that is held by the Corporation as required by law. However, redemption of this stock has historically been at par. Accordingly, the carrying amount approximates its fair value.

Deposits

        Fair values for demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturity of deposits.

Short-Term and Long-Term Borrowings

        Fair values of short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amount. Fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on rates currently available to the Corporation from the Federal Home Loan Bank for advances with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

        Fair values for the Corporation's off-balance sheet instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.

        The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments are as follows at December 31:

        In June 2008, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement for a business combination with HNB Bancorp, Inc., which is headquartered in Halifax, Pennsylvania. Upon combination, a new holding company will be formed, which will issue 2.435 shares of common stock for each share owned by the Corporation's shareholders, and will issue 2.48 shares of common stock for each share of HNB Bancorp, Inc. owned by their shareholders. The primary reason for the combination is to pool resources to provide greater products and services to customers in the contiguous counties, and provide cost savings through the consolidation of operations. It is anticipated that the transaction will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
of First Perry for the Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2008

Executive Summary

    Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 versus June 30, 2007

        Net income increased $75,000, or 30.0%, to $326,000 for the period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $251,000 for the period ended June 30, 2007.

        The following are the fundamental changes that have occurred between the two reporting periods:

    Net interest income increased by $283,000;

    Non-interest income increased by $93,000;

    Non-interest expense increased by $268,000; and

    The provision for income taxes increased by $33,000.

        Basic earnings per share through June 30, 2008 were $0.83 per share compared to $0.63 through June 30, 2007. Return on average assets was 0.53% through June 30, 2008 compared to 0.39% through June 30, 2007. Return on average equity was 5.13% through June 30, 2008 compared to 3.51% through June 30, 2007.

        For the six months ended June 30, 2008, First Perry grew assets by $14,882,000, or 13.1%, to $128,711,000, compared to assets of $113,829,000 at June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of the following:

    Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,088,000;

    Investment securities and investments in restricted stock decreased by $2,447,000;

    Net loans increased by $16,058,000;

    Deposit accounts increased by $344,000;

    Short-term borrowings decreased by $879,000; and

    Long-term borrowings increased by $13,351,000.

    Average Balances and Average Interest Rates

        Year end 2007 through June of 2008 saw drastic changes in the short end of the yield curve as the Federal Open Market Committee reacted to the widening financial fallout of subprime lending. The overnight rate began 2008 at 4.25% and has since declined to 2.00% at June 30, 2008. This change helps to determine rates at the short end of the yield curve, which indirectly affects the cost for the majority of The First National Bank of Marysville's deposits.

        Growth at June 30, 2008 on the average balance of all interest bearing assets over June 30, 2007 is $10,117,000, or 9.9%. For the same periods, growth from all liability sources is $10,651,000, or 11.8%. Management's expectations are to continue to grow the loan portfolio with funding secured through more active utilization of its branch network.

        Through June 30, 2008, interest income has increased by $306,000 over June 30, 2007. Interest expense has risen $16,000 on the year-to-date June 30, 2008 versus June 30, 2007 comparison. Through June 30, 2008, net interest income is up $290,000, or 17.6%, over June 30, 2007 with the net interest spread increasing 30 basis points and the net interest margin increasing 22 basis points.

    Provision for Loan Losses

        Through June 30, 2008 a provision of $60,000 has been made to the allowance and net charge-offs for the year were $33,000, or 0.04%, of average loans. Through June 30, 2007 a provision of $60,000 had been made to the allowance and net charge-offs were $6,000, or 0.01%, of average loans. In management's opinion underwriting standards have remained solid and conservative relative to the general marketplace. In order to further protect the integrity of its underwriting and mitigate potential issues, more conservative loan to value standards, including requiring lower initial loan to value ratios, have been implemented for real estate lending in order to reduce any potential fallout from declining property values.

    Non-Interest Income

        For the six months ended June 30, 2008, non-interest income increased $93,000, or 43.5%, over the six months ended June 30, 2007. Increases in service charges, mainly in the area of non-sufficient funds charges, were enacted in the first quarter of 2008.

        Net gains on sales of securities held within the available for sale investment portfolio were taken on bonds which no longer met policy-established investment guidelines, and to provide liquidity for continued loan growth. There were no impairment issues with the securities sold and all securities sold were investment-grade at the time of sale. Due to downgrades within the municipal bond insurer arena the municipal portfolio will continue to be monitored and additional sales are possible.

        The following table presents the components of non-interest income and related fluctuations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

    Non-Interest Expense

        For the six months ended June 30, 2008, non-interest expenses have increased $268,000, or 18.6%, over the same period in 2007. Discussion points related to the primary drivers of the increase are as follows:

    Salaries and employee benefits—In the second quarter of 2008 an experienced commercial lender was hired to assist in asset generation, and staffing for a fifth banking services office was brought online. Personnel related expenses have increased in conjunction with these strategic decisions;

    Occupancy expense—Costs associated with the establishment of First Perry's fourth office and renovations to its operations area account for the majority of the increase associated with the increase in occupancy expense. A fifth office opened in June of 2008 on North Mountain Road in Linglestown, PA;

145


    Equipment expense—Increases in depreciation expense attributable to expenses incurred for migrating to remote capture and acceptance of check images from branch locations and banking clients are the primary reason equipment expense increased $19,000 from June 30, 2008 over June 30, 2007;

    Telecommunications—The First National Bank of Marysville established an MPLS network in 2007 to replace a point-to-point frame relay network to reduce the time involved in a disaster recovery situation, in addition to establishing a new office in June of 2007. Full year expenses are being realized for these two items in 2008 versus only a partial period in 2007.

    Processing charges—Decreased due to the elimination of contracts associated with licensing required to service multiple clientele for check processing; and

    Bank shares tax—This remains a significant expense to First Perry, with $69,000 expensed through June 30, 2008, with the total annual expense for 2008 known to be $138,000. Through June 30, 2007 First Perry recognized $108,000 of tax benefit, which offset The First National Bank of Marysville shares tax relating to the Pennsylvania Enterprise Zone Tax Credit program. For the first six months of 2008 no credit was recognized, however management anticipates it will record $34,000 in the last half of 2008, upon the Department of Revenue's final determination of the amount that The First National Bank of Marysville was eligible for.

        The following table presents the components of non-interest expense and related fluctuations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

    Provision for Federal Income Taxes

        The provision for federal income taxes is $72,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $39,000 in 2007. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 18.1%, compared to 13.5% in 2007. The effective tax rate has increased, consistent with higher levels of pre-tax income and lower tax-free income. First Perry's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to tax-exempt interest income and non-taxable bank owned life insurance.

    Securities

        Use of liquidity within the security portfolio to provide for loan growth continues to occur. There has been a continued shift out of U.S Government agencies as well as state and municipal securities

146


into mortgage-backed securities in order to structure cash flow over an extended period of time. State and municipal securities holdings have decreased as securities have been sold as a precaution against downgrades in insurer ratings within the bond insurer industry. No securities are deemed to be other-than-temporarily-impaired based on management's evaluation of the individual securities, including the extent and length of the unrealized loss, and First Perry's ability to hold the security until maturity or until the fair value recovers. The investment in restricted equity securities has increased in proportion to the required investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh as a condition of borrowing.

        The following table sets forth the composition of the investment security portfolio as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

    Loans

        Due to continued lending opportunities that have resulted from growth in the area coupled with the hiring of a dedicated commercial lender, loan volumes continue to increase. All areas of real estate secured lending have experienced significant increases in production. The increase from June 30, 2008 over December 31, 2007 for construction loans is $2,338,000, or 25.8%; for mortgage lending the increase is $5,453,000, or 11.5%; and for commercial real estate the increase is $6,856,000, or 44.7%. First Perry has not loosened its loan originating standards during this time, and we believe they remain conservative, compared to our peer group.

        Loans as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were as follows:

    Risk Elements of the Loan Portfolio

        Loan quality continues to improve through the implementation of a more structured loan collection committee. Total non-performing loans have declined $405,000 or 35.5% to $736,000 at June 30, 2008 from December 31, 2007. Foreclosed real estate decreased by $157,000 through the addition of one foreclosed property and the subsequent sale of the property held in this category at December 31, 2007.

        A concentration in loans to lessors of residential buildings and dwellings continues to exist and is tracked and reviewed on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2008 loans to lessors of residential buildings and dwellings totaled $10,215,000, compared to $6,107,000 at December 31, 2007.

    Allowance for Loan Losses

        Management continues to monitor loan loss charge-offs in order to aid in the establishment of a historical loss experience to apply to new product lines established by First Perry in 2007 and 2008. Additionally, qualitative factors relating to loan product performance through the current interest rate and business cycle are being developed to correspond to the new product lines.

        Through the six months ended June 30, 2008 First Perry has experienced an increase in charge-offs related to its established product lines due mainly to evaluations associated with loans that foreclosed. Management continues to review the effect of potential declines in local real estate values when determining specific allocations related to loans rated substandard and below.

    Deposits

        Through the utilization of different deposit gathering approaches the average balance in interest bearing deposits increased $2,241,000, or 2.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, while at the same time seeing a decrease in average rate paid of 32 basis points. Average balances in savings and time deposits decreased through pricing designed to increase margin as opposed to building balances within the designated categories. Overall, average deposit balances decreased by $2,449,000, or 2.8%, for June 30, 2008 over 2007.

    Shareholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy

        At June 30, 2008 shareholders' equity for First Perry totaled $12,892,000, an increase of $137,000, or 1.1%, over December 31, 2007. The increase was due to an increase in net income of $326,000, less dividends paid of $150,000, offsetting an increase in the unrealized losses on available for sale securities, net of tax, adjustment to equity of $39,000. Assets over the same six month time period have increased $6,031,000, or 4.9%, as a result of increased utilization of First Perry's existing capital base.

        Banks are evaluated for capital adequacy through regulatory review of capital ratios. Shown are The First National Bank of Marysville's capital ratios as determined and reported to its regulator. Tier 1 capital includes common stock, surplus, and retained earnings. Total capital consists of tier 1 capital and the allowance for loan losses. The First National Bank of Marysville exceeds both the regulatory minimums and the requirements necessary for designation as a "well-capitalized" institution. As noted in the preceding paragraph, the decline in The First National Bank of Marysville's risk-based capital ratios is a result of increasing asset growth at a faster rate than the capital formation rate. Risk-based capital ratios remain in line with peer group averages.

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        First Perry is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments included commitments to extend credit, and to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2008 First Perry had unfunded outstanding commitments to extend credit of $9,504,000 and outstanding letters of credit of $912,000. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash

requirements. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the nature, business purpose and importance of First Perry's off-balance sheet arrangements.

    Liquidity

        Liquidity, and availability to resources, represents First Perry's ability to effectively manage cash flow to support loan demand, depositors' withdrawals, operating expenses, and potential business opportunities.

        Cash and cash equivalents (cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits) represents the most readily available asset to meet such demands. At June 30, 2008 cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,033,000, compared to $9,083,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease in this position from year end 2007 was due management's decision to have liquidity on hand to handle anticipated runoff of higher priced depositing relationships from promotional deposit gathering strategies enacted with the opening of The First National Bank of Marysville's Good Hope Road Office.

        First Perry maintains an investment security portfolio that provides cash flow through both scheduled and unscheduled maturities of bonds and monthly receipt of principal and interest on mortgage-backed securities. As the cash flow patterns change with regard to general interest rate conditions, the bonds held in the investment security portfolio are designated available for sale in order to ensure ready access to liquidity. As of June 30, 2008, investment securities available for sale totaled $17,307,000, compared to $20,290,000 at December 31, 2007.

        Liquidity is generated from loan maturities and normal monthly receipt of principal and interest. Major categories of loans are tracked for performance through a monthly determination of the current prepayment speed which is then used in The First National Bank of Marysville's cash flow modeling process. Loan sales and/or selling participations in loans are also resources management uses to provide liquidity.

        Liability liquidity is generated through First Perry's deposit base and established borrowing lines. Deposits at June 30, 2008 totaled $88,926,000 compared to $94,472,000 at December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, First Perry has access to two formal borrowing lines totaling $54,462,000 with the aggregate amount outstanding on these lines totaling $24,868,000.

        Capital is considered a source of liquidity and traditionally First Perry has generated liquidity through the retention of a portion of earnings. Management will consider raising capital to provide for long-term liquidity needs as an alternative to the previously named sources to liquidity.

    Inflation

        The impact of inflation upon financial institutions can affect assets and liabilities through the movement of interest rates. The exact impact of inflation on First Perry is difficult to measure. Inflation may cause operating expenses to change at a rate not matched by the change in earnings. Inflation may affect the borrowing needs and desires of consumer and commercial customers, in turn affecting the growth of First Perry's assets. Inflation may also affect the level of interest rates in the general market, which in turn can affect First Perry's profitability and the market value of assets held. First Perry actively manages its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities countering the effects of inflation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

        First Perry Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Marysville (the Bank), provide loan, deposit and other commercial banking services through three full service offices in Marysville and Duncannon, Perry County, and one full service office in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The Corporation competes with several other financial institutions to provide its services to individuals, businesses, municipalities and other organizations. The Corporation is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board while the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

        The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The following paragraphs briefly describe the more significant accounting policies.

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation, and so such financial statements are not misleading, have been included.

        The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, included in its Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated September 2008.

        Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

        The consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 include the accounts of the Corporation and the Bank. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

        Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired by

156


First Perry Bancorp, Inc.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

        While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans 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 estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses 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 estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Earnings Per Share

        Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. Weighted average shares outstanding were 395,312 in 2008 and 2007. The Corporation has a simple capital structure in that they do not have any common stock equivalents.

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

        In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into off balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

Note 2—Comprehensive Income

        Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Changes in certain assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which represents a component of shareholders' equity, represents the net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, net of taxes.

Note 4—Fair Value Accounting

        In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157)." This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for the Corporation as of January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157." This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements upon adoption on January 1, 2009.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements

Note 4—Fair Value Accounting (Continued)


designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2008. The Corporation did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.

        SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

        Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

        Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

        Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

        The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value.

        Securities: The fair value of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

Note 5—Business Combination

        In June 2008, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement for a business combination with HNB Bancorp, Inc., which is headquartered in Halifax, Pennsylvania. Upon combination, a new holding

159

Note 5—Business Combination (Continued)


company will be formed, which will issue 2.435 shares of common stock for each share owned by the Corporation's shareholders, and will issue 2.52 shares of common stock for each of HNB Bancorp, Inc. owned by their shareholders. The primary reason for the combination is to pool resources to provide greater products and services to customers in the contiguous counties, and provide cost savings through the consolidation of operations. It is anticipated that the transaction will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Note 6—New Accounting Standards

        FASB Statement No. 141(R) "Business Combinations" was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a Company's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The new pronouncement will impact the Corporation's accounting for business combinations beginning January 1, 2009.

        In September 2006, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, "Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-4"). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee's benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee's active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee's retirement. Alternatively, if the policy holder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The adoption of EITF 06-04 on January 1, 2008 had no impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Corporation is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

    Halifax National Bank Retirement Plan (Defined Benefit Pension Plan)

        HNB's wholly-owned subsidiary, Halifax National Bank, maintains the Halifax National Bank Retirement Plan. To be eligible for the plan, an employee must accumulate at least one thousand hours of employment in the 12-month period beginning on the first day of his or her employment or in a subsequent 12-month period commencing on the anniversary of the first day of employment. Normal retirement is at 65 years of age. There is an early retirement feature at 55 years of age. There are also death and disability features to the plan. At normal or early retirement, death or disability, there are three options of distribution of the amount allocated and in the account of the employee, i.e. a purchase of an annuity, one lump sum payment or equal periodic payments over an employee's life expectancy.

        The regular vesting schedule under the plan is as follows:

Years of Service
  Vested Interest  

1 Full Year

    0 %

2 Full Years

    0 %

3 Full Years

    100 %

        Halifax National Bank's contribution to the plan is based on an actuarial calculation. This Defined Benefit Pension Plan was frozen as of December 31, 2006. There is no longer any accrued benefit to the participating employees. Furthermore, in 2007, HNB approved the termination of the Defined Benefit Pension Plan effective January 31, 2008. Currently, HNB is awaiting final approval for the termination of the plan. For more information regarding the termination of the plan and its financial impact, please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of HNB for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006" below.

    Employment Agreements

        Mr. Wasson's employment agreement with Halifax National Bank dated as of January 9, 2007, provides for an initial term renewing for one year after the initial term. Mr. Fox's employment with Halifax National Bank, dated as of December 1, 2006 as amended provides for a five year term which renews automatically for an additional five year term unless contrary written notice is given.

        The agreements provide that Mr. Wasson shall serve as President of Halifax National Bank and that Mr. Fox shall serve as Executive Vice President of Halifax National Bank. It also provides that if Mr. Wasson resigns upon a change in control or is terminated without cause, he will be entitled to two (2) times his average annual salary for the previous five years. If Mr. Fox resigns upon a change in control or is terminated without cause, he will be entitled to three (3) times his average annual salary for the previous five years, plus participation in all non-cash employee benefits for three (3) years. The employment agreements also provide for a gross-up of payments if the executive is subject to the excise taxes under IRS Section 4999; Halifax National Bank will pay him an additional amount so that he would be in the same after-tax position that he would have been in had the excise tax not been imposed. Both Messrs. Wasson's and Fox's employment agreements have covenant not to compete provisions.

        On June 18, 2008, Mr. Fox and Halifax National Bank entered into an amendment to his employment agreement which provided that the consolidation of HNB into Riverview did not constitute a change in control under the agreement and would not entitle Mr. Fox to any payments upon the change in control.

    Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

        In 2007, HNB adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan agreement to provide specified benefits for key executives. The agreement is specifically designed to encourage key executives to remain as employees of HNB. The agreement is unfunded, with benefits to be paid from HNB's

164


general assets. After retirement, benefits are payable to the executive or his or her beneficiaries in equal monthly installments for a period of fifteen (15) years. There are provisions for death benefits should a participant die before his or her retirement date. These benefits are also subject to change of control and other provisions. Messrs. Wasson and Fox are parties to a supplemental executive retirement plan agreement which vests upon a change in control. On June 18, 2008, Mr. Fox and Halifax National Bank entered into an amendment to his supplemental executive retirement plan agreement which provided that the consolidation of HNB into Riverview did not constitute a change in control under the agreement and would not entitle Mr. Fox to immediate vesting upon the change in control, provided that immediate vesting would occur upon the subsequent termination of Mr. Fox's employment.

Each of the directors of HNB, except Messrs. Wasson and Fox, do not receive any additional compensation for their services beyond the compensation paid to them as directors of Halifax National Bank.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        The Board of Directors functions as the Compensation Committee. Thomas N. Wasson, President and Chief Executive Officer, is a member of the Board of Directors, but does not participate in his own review or vote on his own salary increases and other compensation.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

        HNB's board of directors was informed by Greenawalt and Company, P.C., HNB's principal accountants, that it could not perform the necessary SEC auditing required for the registration statement or for Riverview after the effective date of the consolidation. The audit reports of Greenawalt and Company, P.C. on the consolidated financial statements of HNB as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

        During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the subsequent interim period through June 30, 2008, there were no: (1) disagreements with Greenawalt and Company, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Greenawalt and Company, P.C.'s satisfaction, would have caused Greenawalt and Company, P.C. to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter, or (2) reportable events under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

        On June 25, 2008, HNB engaged Beard Miller Company LLP as HNB's new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The engagement was approved by HNB's board of directors. Beard Miller Company LLP was engaged to issue re-audits of the prior fiscal years in order to be SEC compliant. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007

165



and 2006, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Beard Miller Company LLP, HNB did not consult with Beard Miller Company LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

All loans and loan commitments involved in such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business under substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral, and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons not related to HNB. In the opinion of HNB's management, these transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collection, nor do they present other unfavorable features. Each of these transactions was made in compliance with applicable law, including Section 13(k) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Federal Board Regulation O.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
of HNB for the Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

        The following discussion represents management's analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of HNB and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Halifax National Bank and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and other financial data included elsewhere in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

        Except for historical information, this report may be deemed to contain "forward-looking" statements regarding HNB. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, projections or statements regarding future earnings, expenses, net interest income, non-interest income, earnings or loss per share, asset mix and quality, growth prospects, capital structure and other financial terms, statements of plans and objectives of management or the board of directors, and statements of assumptions such as economic conditions in HNB's market area. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "intends," "will," "should," "anticipates," or the negative of any of the foregoing or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy.

        No assurances can be given that the future results covered by forward-looking statements will be achieved. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could impact HNB's operating results include, but are not limited to, the effects of changing economic conditions in HNB's market areas and nationally, credit risks of commercial, real estate, consumer and other lending activities, significant changes in interest rates, changes in federal and state banking laws and regulations which could impact HNB's operation, funding costs and other external developments which could materially affect HNB's business and operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

        Disclosure of HNB's significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. These policies are particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made by management. Senior management has discussed the development of such estimates with the board of directors. HNB believes that of its significant policies, the allowance for loan losses and valuation of its securities may involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity, and therefore has identified them as critical accounting policies. As a result of their subjective nature and the judgment involved, estimates associated with them could require revision as more information becomes available.

         Allowance for loan losses —The allowance for loan losses represent management's estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Notes to the consolidated financial statements describe the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses, and a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in this report.

         Securities —HNB carries its held to maturity securities at amortized cost and available for sale securities at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported net of tax as an adjustment to shareholders' equity. Securities are written down to fair value when there is impairment in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary. The determination of other-than-temporary impairment is a matter of judgment, and considers the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less

168



than cost; financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; or the intent and ability to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value. To date, HNB has not recorded any other-than-temporary impairment charges.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 versus 2006

        For the year ended December 31, 2007, Halifax National Bank recorded net income of $482,000, an increase of $9,000, or 1.9%, from net income of $473,000 in 2006.

        The change in net income during 2007 as compared to the same time last year is primarily the result of the following:

        Basic earnings per share were $1.54 and $1.51 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Return on average equity for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 4.76% compared to 4.82% in 2006. Return on average assets was 0.62% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

        During 2007 management initiated a strategy to fund growth with deposit generation using short-term time deposits as the primary vehicle. HNB experienced a $5,543,000 or 8.9% increase in deposits. The success of the deposit generation allowed HNB to reduce borrowings by $4,714,000 or 81.3% as well as fund loan growth.

        Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on investments and loans, and interest expense incurred on deposits and other liabilities. For analysis purposes, net interest income is evaluated on a fully tax equivalent (FTE) basis. FTE basis is calculated by increasing the yield on tax-exempt securities and loans by the Federal tax rate of 34%, in order for the yield on tax-exempt assets to be comparable to interest earned on taxable assets. The major components affecting net interest income are the changes in interest rates and the volume of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, net interest income on a FTE basis was $2,473,000 and $2,469,000.

Net Interest Income

  $ 100   $ (95 ) $ 5  
               

Income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis, assuming a tax rate of 34%.

The net change attributable to the combination of rate and volume has been allocated to the change due to volume.

        As a result of a flat and at times inverted interest rate yield curve, HNB's net interest margin was negatively impacted by 8 basis points (b.p.) as the increase in the cost of funds associated with interest bearing liabilities outpaced the increase that was obtained on interest earning assets, including loans and securities. A factor in the decline of net interest margin was due to management's initiative to fund asset growth with deposits, particularly short-term time deposits, as the cost of borrowing climbed higher.

        Tax-equivalent net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by $5,000 or 0.2% compared to 2006 due to an increase in earning assets offset by an increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Total average securities decreased $1,625,000 impacting interest income by $101,000. Total average loans increased $2,857,000 impacting interest income by $205,000 and the yield on loans increased 23 b.p. impacting interest income by $118,000.

171


        Average time deposits increased $6,788,000 impacting interest expense by $311,000. The average cost of time deposits increased 48 b.p. impacting interest expense by $171,000. Average short-term borrowings decreased $4,885,000 impacting interest expense by $266,000.

        The provision and allowance for loan losses are based on management's assessment of Halifax National Bank's credit exposure and consideration of other pertinent factors. The provision for loan losses is an amount charged to earnings on an annual basis. The allowance for loan losses is a reserve to cover future loan charge-offs.

        Halifax National Bank's provision for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $100,000. Despite a rise in charge-off percentages and non-performing loans during 2007, the provision for loan losses was maintained at $100,000. The non-performing loan balance consists of one loan relationship, which management feels there is sufficient cash flow to mitigate Halifax National Bank's risk of loss, and was considered in its analysis. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans was 0.93% at December 31, 2007 versus 0.85% at December 31, 2006, which resulted from provisioning levels exceeding net charge-offs. The increase in the reserve as a percent of loans is consistent with management's consideration of qualitative factors, including national and local economic and real estate conditions, and a shift in the loan portfolio towards commercial real estate and construction loans.

        Non-interest income of $266,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, increased $60,000, or 29.1%, compared to 2006. The increase is due predominately to the increase in earnings on cash value of life insurance of $34,000, or 47.2%, attributable to higher average investment in bank-owned life insurance. Service charges and fees increased $32,000 or 30.8%, primarily due to the following: 1) HNB implemented a higher fee structure on its non-sufficient fund (NSF) charges in early 2007, and 2) in the fourth quarter of 2007 HNB changed to a sequential order of paying customer withdrawals, which led to higher instances of NSF charges. During 2006 HNB sold available for sale securities at gains with no similar sale occurring in 2007.

        For the year ended December 31, 2007 non-interest expense of $1,950,000 increased $72,000 or 3.8% over 2006. The increase is predominately due to the increase in salaries and employee benefits of $52,000 or 5.3%. Salary and benefits is the largest category of non-interest expense accounting for 52.7% of all non-interest expense. The increase in salary and benefits is due to merit increases and an increase in the cost of employee benefits.

        In 2007, HNB approved the termination of its defined benefit pension plan effective January 31, 2008. No benefits have been accrued under the plan since it was frozen in 2005. Upon final approval by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty HNB, annuities will be purchased to satisfy all pension liabilities. HNB expects to record a charge to earnings of approximately $325,000 – $425,000 upon final distribution of pension plan assets. It is anticipated that the final distributions will be made in 2008; however, the receipt date of necessary approvals can not be predicted with certainty.

        Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $31,000, an increase of $11,000 from December 31, 2006. HNB has reduced its effective tax rate from the Federal statutory rate of 34% primarily through tax-exempt income, including tax-exempt securities and earnings on cash value of life insurance. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 6% and 4%.


Financial Condition

        As of December 31, 2007 deposit growth was the primary source used to fund loan growth and pay down short-term borrowings. Time deposits were the significant component of deposit growth in 2007 followed by non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposits.

        At year-end December 31, 2007 total assets were $80,042,000, an increase of $1,172,000 or 1.5% over year-end December 31, 2006. At year-end December 31, 2007 total deposits were $68,064,000, an increase of $5,543,000 or 8.9% over year-end December 31, 2006.

173


        The securities portfolio is a significant component of interest-earning assets. Investment securities are used to provide income, liquidity, and diversity in the earning asset portfolio.

        Halifax National Bank's securities are classified as either held to maturity or available for sale. Securities in the held to maturity category are accounted for at amortized cost. Available for sale securities are accounted for at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

        The securities portfolio is largely classified as available for sale. There are no securities held in a trading account. Available for sale securities at December 31, 2007 were $15,222,000, a decrease of $610,000 or 3.9% from December 31, 2006. The liquidity from the decrease in securities was used to fund loan growth and pay down short-term borrowings. At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the unrealized loss, net of tax, amounted to $49,000 and $108,000.

Held to maturity securities are accounted for at amortized cost and available securities are accounted for at fair value.

Weighted average yields are calculated on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a tax rate of 34%.

        Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment, at least on a quarterly basis, but management's intent is to hold all investments until maturity unless market, economic or

174



specific investment concerns warrant a sale. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and the financial condition to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow any anticipated recovery in fair value.

        At December 31, 2007, HNB had three available-for-sale corporate debt securities with a fair value of $616,000 and an amortized cost of $700,000, with the unrealized loss of $84,000 carried in other accumulated comprehensive loss, net of tax. These securities relate to a corporate finance company. Management has monitored this company, its debt rating, and other relevant facts, and as of this time, believes that the bonds will be paid and in full, and management has the ability and intent to hold them to maturity. Accordingly, management deems the unrealized lasses to be temporary. The first of these securities matures in September 2008.

        Substantially all of Halifax National Bank's lending activity is with customers located within Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The portfolio is well diversified with no single industry comprising greater than ten percent of the total loans outstanding. Total loans increased $2,174,000 or 4.0% from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007. Real estate construction loans increased $956,000 or 58.1%, while real estate loans increased $1,225,000 or 2.6%.

Loans at December 31, consisted of the following:

        The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for possible loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

        The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

        The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either: doubtful, substandard, or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flow (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

        A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that HNB will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

        Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, HNB does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

        Recognizing the shifting loan demand toward the commercial and commercial real estate portfolio coupled with the lack of loss experience with the commercial portfolio, management deemed it prudent to allocate a greater portion of the allowance toward this growing portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover foreseeable losses. While management believes that the methodology is adequate to provide sufficient reserves, changes in future economic and other factors could have a significant and adverse effect on the results of operations.

177


        Non-performing assets are loans on non-accrual, loans past due more than ninety days and still accruing and foreclosed real estate. These types of assets are the greatest risk to Halifax National Bank for losses. A loan is placed on non-accrual status generally when delinquent 90 days or more or when management has serious doubts about future collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. In the non-accrual determination, management considers the collateral and type of credit. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status any unpaid interest is charged against income. Foreclosed property is acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and is recorded at fair value at acquisition date.

        The following table presents the non-performing assets as of December 31:

    $  —     $  2  

        Total non-performing loans increased to $290,000 at December 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006. The increase was one real estate relationship which management feels there is sufficient collateral and cash flow to mitigate Halifax National Bank's risk of loss. Credit quality is a priority for Halifax to manage risk of potential loss and adequate collateral for the largest portion of earning assets to which HNB is exposed. HNB does not have any potential problem loans other than those identified above which management has doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.

        Both consumer and commercial retail deposits are attracted through Halifax's two branch offices in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Halifax National Bank offers a selection of products and frequently evaluates its interest rates and fees as well as rates and fees charged by its competition.

        As of December 31, 2007 deposits of $68,064,000, represent an increase of $5,543,000 or 8.9% over December 31, 2006. The growth in 2007 is largely time deposits, which grew $4,099,000 or 10.5% during the year. The growth in deposits was a strategic initiative used to fund loan growth and reduce HNB's reliance on borrowings.

Federal Home Loan Halifax National Bank Repurchase borrowings generally mature daily.

        Total borrowings were $1,086,000 at December 31, 2007 a decrease of $4,714,000 or 81.3% from December 31, 2006. The decrease in short-term borrowings was the result of strong generation of deposits, and HNB's ability to reduce its reliance on short-term borrowings.

        Halifax National Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity through the Federal Home Loan Halifax National Bank of approximately $34,397,000 at December 31, 2007. The borrowing capacity is collateralized by real estate loans. Halifax National Bank also has an unsecured Federal Funds

borrowing line in the amount of $2,000,000 available with Atlantic Central Halifax National Bankers Halifax National Bank.

        HNB feels it has a strong capital position giving Halifax National Bank the resources necessary to meet predicted and unpredicted expenses and liabilities. Shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2007 was $10,253,000, an increase of $293,000 of 2.9% over year-end 2006. The increase was primarily the result of net income less dividends paid of $226,000 and a decrease in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net of taxes of $58,000.

        Halifax National Bank exceeds the regulatory requirements of a "well capitalized bank". Halifax National Bank is not under any agreement with the regulatory authorities nor is it aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities that would have a material effect on Halifax National Bank's capital, liquidity or operations if implemented.

        The following table presents the capital ratios as of December 31:

        HNB is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments included commitments to extend credit, and to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2007, HNB had unfunded outstanding commitments to extend credit of $6,937,000 and outstanding letters of credit of $516,000. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the nature, business purpose and importance of HNB's off-balance sheet arrangements.

        Liquidity is Halifax National Bank's effective management of cash flows to support loan demand, depositor withdrawals, operating expenses and business opportunities. Liquidity is essential to compensate for the fluctuations in the balance sheet and provide funds for growth.

        The primary sources of liquidity are HNB's deposit base and strong capital position. Deposits at December 31, 2007 were $68,064,000 and averaged $65,961,000. At December 31, 2006 deposits were $62,521,000 and averaged $58,968,000.

        Asset liquidity is provided by cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, investment securities maturing in one year or less, loan maturities, and typical loan repayments. At December 31, 2007 cash and cash equivalents were $2,531,000 a decrease of $324,000 or 11.4% from December 31, 2006. Securities maturing in one year or less totaled $344,000 as of December 31, 2007. Longer-term liquidity needs may include selling securities available for sale, selling loans or raising capital.

180


        Liabilities provide liquidity with a consistent core deposit base and short-term borrowings. Borrowings, both short and long-term, are available from Federal Home Loan Halifax National Bank of Pittsburgh. At December 31, 2007 the maximum borrowing capacity with FHLB was $34,397,000. Federal Funds borrowings are available with a third-party correspondent in the amount of $2,000,000.

        The impact of inflation upon banks can affect assets and liabilities through the movement in interest rates. The exact impact of inflation on HNB is difficult to measure. Inflation may cause operating expenses to change at a rate not matched by the change in earnings. Inflation may affect the borrowing needs of consumers, in turn affecting the growth of HNB's assets. Inflation may also affect the level of interest rates, which could affect HNB's profitability. HNB actively manages its interest sensitive assets and liabilities countering the effects of inflation.

        The notes to the consolidated financial statements discusses the expected impact on HNB's financial condition and results of operations for recently issued or proposed accounting standards that have not been adopted. To the extent we anticipate a significant impact to Halifax's financial condition or results of operations, appropriate discussion takes place in the applicable note to the consolidated financial statements.

HNB Bancorp, Inc.
Halifax, Pennsylvania

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HNB Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. HNB Bancorp, Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HNB Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        HNB Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Halifax National Bank (the Bank), provide loan, deposit and other commercial banking services through two full service and one drive-up office in Halifax and Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The Corporation competes with several other financial institutions to provide its services to individuals, businesses, municipalities and other organizations. The Corporation is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board while the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

        The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The following paragraphs briefly describe the more significant accounting policies.

Basis of consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HNB Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Halifax National Bank. The Corporation is a bank holding company that was incorporated in June 2007 under the laws of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Bank became a wholly-owned bank subsidiary of the Corporation pursuant to a reorganization plan that was consummated on June 30, 2007. The transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interest method of accounting. Accordingly, the financial information relating to the periods prior to June 30, 2007 are reported under the name of HNB Bancorp, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

        Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

        While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans 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 estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additional losses 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 estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash and cash equivalents

        Cash and cash equivalents, for purposes of the statement of cash flows, consists of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one day periods.

Investment securities

        Investment securities held-to-maturity are those securities that the Corporation has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are included as adjustments to interest income over the estimated life of the securities using the interest method.

        Investment securities available for sale are those securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory considerations and other similar factors. Investment securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as changes in other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Any realized gains or losses, based on the amortized cost of specific securities sold, are included in current operations. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

        Declines in the fair value of individual securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Restricted investments in bank stock

        Restricted investments in bank stock include Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank stocks. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB system to hold stock according to predetermined formulas. These stocks are carried at cost which approximates fair value because of the restrictions on transferring the stocks.

Loans

        Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at unpaid principal balances net of any unearned income. Interest is computed based on the principal balances outstanding and is credited to income as earned. Loan fees collected net of the costs of originating the loans are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the contractual life of the related loan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        The accrual of interest is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Allowance for loan losses

        The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for possible loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

        The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

        The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard, or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

        A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

        Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Premises and equipment

        Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting and the straight-line and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. When property is retired or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Major additions or replacements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Foreclosed real estate

        Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at fair value. Gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate are included in other income, while losses and write-downs resulting from periodic revaluations are included in other expenses. The carrying amount of foreclosed real estate was $33,600 and $-0- at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and is included in other assets.

Federal income taxes

        The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the financial statements. Certain items of income and expense are recognized in different periods for financial reporting purposes than for federal income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities given current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

Advertising

        Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $28,399 and $28,403 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Pension plan

        Pension plan costs for the Corporation's defined benefit pension plan are accounted for in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.'s 87, 132 (revised) and 158. The projected unit credit cost method is utilized for measuring net periodic pension cost over the employee's service life.

Off balance sheet financial instruments

        In the ordinary course of business the Corporation has entered into off balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

Earnings per share

        Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Corporation has a simple capital structure and has no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

Segment reporting

        The Corporation operates in a single business segment consisting of traditional Bank activities.

New accounting standards

        In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements , ("SFAS 157") which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance was effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2008, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

        In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157," that permits a one-year deferral in applying the measurement provisions of SFAS 157 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities (non-financial items) that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity's financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, if the change in fair value of a non-financial item is not required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on an annual basis or more frequently, the effective date of application of SFAS 157 to that item is deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of FSP 157-2 will have on the Corporation's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

        FASB Statement No. 141 (R)  Business Combinations was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a Company's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The new pronouncement will impact the Corporation's accounting for business combinations beginning January 1, 2009.

DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        FASB Statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Corporation believes that this new pronouncement will not have a significant impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In September 2006, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, "Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-4"). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee's benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee's active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee's retirement. Alternatively, if the policyholder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The adoption of EITF 06-04 on January 1, 2008 had no impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instrument and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (Statement 161). Statement 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. Statement 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 has been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Statement 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this standard will have any impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles . This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Corporation is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

        Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment, at least on a quarterly basis, but management's intent is to hold all investments until maturity unless market, economic or specific investment concerns warrant a sale of securities. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

        At December 31, 2007, seven U.S. Government agencies, four state and municipal obligations and three corporate debt securities have unrealized losses. At December 31, 2006, sixteen U.S. Government agencies, five state and municipal obligations and three corporate debt securities had unrealized losses. As management has both the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity, or recovery in fair value, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

LOANS

        Loans at December 31 consisted of the following:

 
  2007   2006  

Commercial, agricultural and financial

  $ 4,738,871   $ 4,303,360

Net loans

  $ 56,695,970   $ 54,522,047  
           

        Included within the loan portfolio are loans on which the Corporation has discontinued the accrual of interest. Such loans approximated $-0- and $15,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. If interest income had been recorded on all non-accrual loans outstanding during 2007 and 2006, interest income would have increased by approximately $-0- and $1,500 for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        Loans 90 days or more past due but still accruing interest at December 31, 2007 and 2006 approximated $305,000 and $-0-, respectively.

        The Corporation had no loans which management considered to be impaired under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114 as of December 31, 2007 or 2006.

        The Corporation, in the ordinary course of business, has loan, deposit and other routine transactions with its executive officers, directors and entities in which they have principal ownership. Loans are made to such related parties at substantially the same credit terms as other borrowers and

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

        Substantially all of the Corporation's business activity, including loans and loan commitments, is with customers located within its trade area of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The portfolio is well diversified with no single industry comprising greater than ten percent of the total loans outstanding. The concentration of credit by type of loan is set forth in the Loans note to the consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK

        The Corporation 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. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit, typically residential mortgage loans and commercial loans, and, to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.

        The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet instruments. The Corporation does not anticipate any material losses from those commitments.

        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

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK (Continued)


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 creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extensions of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. On loans secured by real estate, the Corporation generally requires loan to value ratios of no greater than 80%.

        Standby letters of credit 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, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The terms of the letters of credit vary and may have renewal features. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Corporation holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

        A summary of the Corporation's exposure for loan commitments and standby letters of credit at December 31 is as follows:

 
  2007   2006  

Commitments to extend credit

  $ 6,937,305   $ 1,849,064  

Standby letters of credit

    516,355     375,000  
           

Total

  $ 7,453,660   $ 2,224,064

        Depreciation charged to operating expense in 2007 and 2006 totaled $ 153,050 and $ 151,078.

        In 2005, the Corporation purchased additional land and buildings in Elizabethville, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, for possible future expansion. The Bank is leasing a building located on this property to a non-related entity under a temporary short-term lease agreement. Rents received during 2007 and 2006 totaled $9,050 and $15,000. In 2007, the Corporation's Board of Directors decided to

sell the Elizabethville property rather than use it for branch purposes. Accordingly, land with a carrying value of $219,774 and other buildings with a carrying value of $171,000 were transferred to real estate held for sale. As the fair value of the real estate exceeded its carrying value, no loss was recorded (see Subsequent Events footnote).

RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS IN BANK STOCK

        The Corporation is required to purchase and hold certain amounts of restricted equity securities as part of their agreements with the issuing institutions. These restricted investments are carried at cost, which approximated fair value. A summary of these restricted securities is as follows:

 
  2007   2006  

Federal Reserve Bank stock

  $ 4,500   $ 4,500  

Federal Home Loan Bank stock

    278,500     476,800

CASH VALUE OF INSURANCE

        The Corporation is the owner and beneficiary of several single-premium life insurance policies on certain Corporate officers. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the cash value of these policies totaled $2,177,968 and $2,072,217. These amounts are immediately available to the Corporation upon surrender of the policies.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

        The borrowing capacity is collateralized by security agreements in certain residential real estate backed assets of the Corporation, including loans and investments.

        The Corporation has entered into agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) under which it can borrow up to a percentage of qualifying collateral assets. The total borrowing capacity under these agreements with FHLB at December 31, 2007 was $34,397,000. The outstanding borrowings from FHLB at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

 
  2007   2006  

Open Repo-Plus Weekly—Total approved line-of-credit of $12,000,000; variable interest rate (4.32% and 5.34% at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively)

RETIREMENT PLANS

Defined benefit plan

        The Corporation has a noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan which includes substantially all of its employees hired prior to 2005. The plan's benefit formulas generally based payments to retired employees upon their length of service and a percentage of qualifying compensation during their final years of employment. The Corporation's funding policy is to fund its pension plan in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements under applicable employee benefit and federal tax laws.

        Effective December 31, 2005, the Bank amended the pension plan to cease future benefit accruals under the plan. In 2007, the Corporation approved the termination of the pension plan effective January 31, 2008.

        The net periodic benefit cost for the Corporation's defined benefit pension plan is as follows:

Plan Assets

        The Corporation's pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2007 and 2006, by asset category are as follows:

 
  Plan Assets at December 31  
Asset Category
  2007   2006

Other

    8     10  
           
   

Total

    100 %   100 %
           

        The Corporation's investment policy for plan assets is to manage the portfolio to preserve principal and liquidity while maximizing the return on the investment portfolio through the full investment of available funds. The portfolio is diversified by investing in multiple types of investment-grade securities. The investment policy requires assets of the Plan to be primarily invested in short-term securities with at least an investment grade rating to minimize interest rate and credit risk as well as to provide for an immediate source of funds. Target allocation percentages for each major category of plan assets are as follows:

  Equity securities     56 %
  Debt securities     39 %
  Other     5 %

        The Corporation attempts to mitigate investment risk by rebalancing between equity and bond asset classes as the Bank's contributions and monthly benefit payments are made. Although changes in interest rates may affect the fair value of the investment portfolio and cause unrealized gains or losses, such gains or losses would not be realized unless the investments are sold.

Cash flows

        Expected future benefit payments to be paid to participants for the years indicated are as follows:

Pension plan termination

        In 2007, the Corporation approved the termination of the pension plan effective January 31, 2008. No benefits have accrued under the plan since it was frozen in December 2005, at which time a 401(k) savings plan became the primary retirement benefit for employees. Upon final approval by the Internal

Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, annuities will be purchased to satisfy all pension benefit liabilities. The Corporation expects to make cash contributions to the plan of approximately $325,000 to $425,000 between now and the final distributions. In addition, the Corporation expects to record a charge to earnings of approximately $325,000 to $425,000, or $215,000 to $280,000 net of taxes, upon final distribution. The Corporation hopes to make the final distributions in 2008, but the receipt date of the necessary approvals from the IRS and PBGC cannot be predicted with certainty.

Defined contribution plan

        In 2005, the Corporation adopted a 401(k) retirement savings plan for all eligible employees which became effective as of January 1, 2006. The Corporation's policy is to match 100% of the employees' voluntary contributions to the plan up to a maximum payment of 4% of the employees' compensation. Additionally, the Corporation may make discretionary contributions to the plan after considering current profits and business conditions. The amount charged to expense in 2007 and 2006 totaled $34,729 and $43,869, respectively. Of these amounts, discretionary contributions approximated $13,124 and $21,974, respectively.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

        In 2007, the Corporation adopted two Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan agreements to provide specified benefits for key executives. The agreements were specifically designed to encourage the two executives to remain as employees of the Corporation. The agreements are unfunded, with benefits to be paid from the Corporation's general assets. After retirement, benefits are payable to the executive or his or her beneficiaries in equal monthly installments for a period of 15 years. There are provisions for death benefits should a participant die before his or her retirement date. These benefits are also subject to change of control and other provisions. The accrued benefit obligation is included in other liabilities.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

        Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Changes in certain assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, and unrecognized pension losses are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        In addition to loan and deposit transactions, the Corporation has engaged in certain transactions with individuals and/or entities which would be considered related parties. Payments for goods and services, which include equipment, insurance and professional services, to these related parties totaled $57,311 and $12,349 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Management believes that payments to related parties were substantially equivalent to those that would have been paid to unaffiliated companies for similar goods and services.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

        The Corporation has employment agreements with its President and Executive Vice President which include wage, benefit and change of control provisions. Upon resignation after a change in control of the Corporation as defined in the agreement, the individuals will receive monetary compensation in the amounts set forth in the agreements.

REGULATORY MATTERS AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

        Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Corporation in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Regulatory approval is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds net profits (as defined) for that year combined with the retained net profits for the two preceding years. At December 31, 2007, $572,076 of undistributed earnings of the Bank, included in consolidated shareholders' equity, was available for distribution to the Corporation as dividends without prior regulatory approval.

        The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material affect on the Corporation and the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines 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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier I capital to average total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, that the Bank meets all of the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

        As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the FDIC, categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

        The Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule in 2006 that expands the definition of a small bank holding company ("BHC") under the Board's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement and the Board's risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for bank holding companies. Based on the ruling, the Corporation meets the eligibility criteria of a small BHC and is exempt from regulatory requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        In March 2008, the Bank sold its Elizabethville property for approximately $845,000 and realized a pre-tax gain of approximately $456,000. As of December 31, 2007, the property was held in real estate held for sale.

        In June 2008, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement for a business combination with First Perry Bancorp, Inc., which is headquartered in Marysville, Pennsylvania. Upon combination, a new holding company will be formed, and will issue 2.52 shares of common stock for each share of Corporation stock owned by shareholders, and will issue 2.435 shares of common stock for each share of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. owned by shareholders. The primary reason for the combination is to pool resources to provide greater products and services to customers in contiguous counties, and provide cost savings through the consolidation of operations. It is contemplated that the transaction will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
of HNB for the Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2008

Overview

        For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Halifax National Bank recorded net income of $606,000, an increase of $355,000 or 141.4%, from net income of $251,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

        The change in net income during 2008 as compared to the same time last year is primarily the result of the following:

        Basic earnings per share were $1.94 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and $0.80 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Return on average equity was 11.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 4.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Return on average assets was 1.44% as compared to 0.65% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

        As a result of strong loan demand from the growth experienced in Dauphin County, HNB's principal market, loans outstanding have increased $7,820,000, or 13.8%. Due to a decline in interest rates in 2008, management elected to fund the loan growth with short-term borrowings and long-term debt, rather than growing deposits as was done in 2007, and resulted in an increase in borrowings of $6,859,000.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

        Net interest income on an FTE basis increased to $1,383,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $1,214,000 for the sixth months ended June 30, 2007.

        The following table presents average balances, rates and interest income and expense, adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis, interest rate spread and net interest margin.

Net Interest Income

  $ 145   $ 24   $ 169  
               

Income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis, assuming a tax rate of 34%.

The net change attributable to the combination of rate and volume has been allocated to the change due to volume.

        As a result of the Federal Reserve lowering short-term interest rates, which re-established a slope to the interest rate yield curve, HNB experienced an increase in its net interest margin of 19 b.p. This change is due to the decrease in cost of funds outpacing the decrease in yield on earning assets and an increase in earning assets. This is a direct result of management's initiative to allow the relatively higher cost short-term time deposits gathered during 2007 to run-off and allow short and long-term borrowings, with a lower cost to HNB, fund asset growth. Tax-equivalent net interest income increased

210



$169,000 or 14.0%, compared to the same period last year. Total average loans increased $7,323,000 impacting interest income, including fees, by $256,000. The decrease in cost of short-term borrowings of 283 b.p. impacted interest expense $42,000.

        These increases were offset by a decrease in average total securities of $1,765,000 impacting interest income by $43,000, an increase in average time deposits of $1,792,000 impacting interest expense $40,000, and an increase in average long-term debt of $2,301,000 impacting interest expense $18,000.

Provision for Loan Losses

        Halifax National Bank recorded $50,000 provision expense for each of the first six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses, management considered Halifax National Bank's improved charge-off experience, a recovery in 2008 for a retail loan charged-off in 2007, and improvements in non-performing asset levels. Offsetting these favorable factors was the growth in the real estate loan portfolio. See further discussion in the allowance for loan losses section.

Non-interest Income

        Non-interest income of $612,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, increased $487,000 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase is due predominately to a gain on sale of real estate of $456,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This property was originally purchased for branch expansion and was later transferred to held for sale upon HNB's decision not to build a branch on this parcel of land. Service charges and fees increased $27,000 or 45.0% due to a change in the method of clearing customer withdrawals to sequential order in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Non-interest Expense

        For the six months ending June 30, 2008, non-interest expenses of $1,046,000 increased $117,000 or 12.6% over the same period last year. The increase is predominately due to the increase in salaries and employee benefits of $51,000 or 10.9%. Salary and benefits is the largest category of non-interest expense accounting for 49.5% of all non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Halifax National Bank has increased staff by two full time employees from June of 2007. Director's compensation during 2008 increased as a result of higher fees paid to directors and a greater number of meetings in 2008 than 2007. Professional services have increased due to services performed by outside providers for the termination of the pension plan and the pending business combination. Other expense has increased primarily due to advertising expense, which has increased $19,000 compared to June 30, 2007.

Income Taxes

        Income tax expense was $208,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $17,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The effective tax rate for June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was 26% and 6%. The increase in the 2008 tax expense and effective tax rate is due to increased taxable non-interest income, including the gain on sale of real estate, which was taxed at the incremental federal tax rate of 34%.


Financial Condition

General

        Total assets increased to $87,615,000 at June 30, 2008 an increase of $7,573,000 or 9.5% from year-end 2007. As of June 30, 2008 total deposits were $68,241,000, an increase of $177,000 or 0.3% from year-end 2007. As of June 30, 2008, borrowings were the primary source of funding loan growth experienced in 2008.

Securities

        Available for sale securities decreased to $14,884,000 as of June 30, 2008, a change of $338,000 or 2.2% from December 31, 2007. The yield earned on investment securities, decreased to 5.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of 23 b.p. from 2007. The decrease in U.S. Government agencies of $1,382,000 from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 accounts for the majority of the change in investment securities.

Loans

        Total loans increased to $64,516,000 as of June 30, 2008 an increase of $7,820,000 or 13.8% over December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily in real estate, which grew $8,245,000 or 16.9%. The growth predominately occurred in the first quarter, as management chose to accept the growth to take advantage of better yields and spreads. The growth is attributable to strong loan demand.

Allowance for Loan Losses

        Recognizing the shifting loan demand toward the commercial and commercial real estate portfolio coupled with the lack of loss experience associated with the commercial portfolio management, management deemed it prudent to allocate a greater portion of the allowance toward this growing portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover foreseeable future losses inherent in the current portfolio. While management believes that the methodology is adequate to provide sufficient reserves, changes in future economic and other factors could have a significant and adverse affect on the results of operation.

        The following tables present the summary of loan loss experience and allocation of the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30:

        Total non-performing loans decreased $218,000 from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. HNB has experienced improvement in charge-offs and non-performing assets and has received a recovery for a 2007 consumer charge-off. HNB does not have any potential problem loans other than those identified above which management has doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.

Deposits

        As of June 30, 2008 deposits totaled $68,241,000, an increase of $177,000 or 0.3% over year-end 2007. Halifax experienced growth in savings deposits of $1,780,000 or 15.4%, which is offset by a decrease in interest-bearing demand of $900,000 or 15.2% and a decrease in time deposits of $959,000 or 2.2%. The decrease in time deposits was a management strategy to reduce their cost of funds by allowing higher cost short-term time deposits to run-off, replacing them with lower cost borrowings.

Borrowings

Short-term Borrowings

  For the Six Months Ended June 30:  
 
  2008   2007  

Federal Home Loan Halifax National Bank Repurchase Agreements:

             
 

End of period balance

  $ 5,445   $  
 

Weighted average interest rate at end of period

    2.37 %    
 

Maximum month-end balance

Average outstanding balance

  $ 2,841   $ 2,848  
 

Weighted average interest rate during period

    2.63 %   5.59 %

Federal Home Loan Halifax National Bank Repurchase borrowings generally mature daily.

        In addition to the short-term borrowings above HNB entered into a FHLB Convertible advance of $2,500,000, which matures in 2018, and carries an interest rate of 2.90% as of June 30, 2008. Convertible advances give FHLB the periodic option to convert to a LIBOR adjustable—rate advance after the specified fixed rate period has expired in 2011. Upon the FHLB's conversion option being exercised, Halifax National Bank has the option to repay the respective advance in full.

        As of June 30, 2008 total borrowings increased to $7,945,000, an increase of $6,859,000 over December 31, 2007. As discussed in the deposit section this change was a management initiative to lower HNB's overall cost of funds.

Capital

        Halifax National Bank exceeds the regulatory requirements of a "well capitalized bank". Halifax National Bank is not under any agreement with the regulatory authorities nor is it aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities that would have a material effect on Halifax National Bank's capital, liquidity or operations if implemented.

        Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2008 was $10,709,000 and increase of $456,000 or 4.4% from December 31, 2007. The increase is primarily the result of net income of $606,000, less dividends paid of $75,000. Halifax National Bank's ratios continue to exceed that to be classified well capitalized. The decline in ratios at June 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007 is due to the growth in assets, particularly commercial real estate, which increased risk-weighted assets, thereby lowering capital ratios.

        The following table presents the capital ratios as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

        HNB is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments included commitments to extend credit, and to a lesser extent, standby letters of credit. At June 30, 2008, HNB had unfunded outstanding commitments to extend credit of $5,486,000 and outstanding letters of credit of $236,000. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the nature, business purpose and importance of HNB's off-balance sheet arrangements.

Liquidity

        The liquidity position of HNB remains adequate to meet loan demand and deposit fluctuations. Managing liquidity remains an important segment of asset liability management.

        The primary sources of liquidity are HNB's deposit base and strong capital position. Deposits at June 30, 2008 were $68,241,000 and averaged $68,039,000. At June 30, 2007 deposits were $67,125,000 and averaged $64,340,000.

        Asset liquidity is provided by cash and cash equivalents, federal funds sold, investment securities maturing in one year or less, loan maturities, and typical loan repayments. At June 30, 2008 cash and cash equivalents were $2,577,000 a decrease of $305,000 or 10.6% from June 30, 2007.

        Liabilities provide liquidity with a consistent core deposit base and short-term borrowings. Borrowings, both short and long-term, are available from Federal Home Loan Halifax National Bank of Pittsburgh. Borrowings outstanding with FHLB were $7,945,000 as of June 30, 2008 and $0 as of June 30, 2007. Federal Funds borrowings are available with a third-party correspondent in the amount of $2,000,000.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        HNB Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Halifax National Bank (the Bank), provide loan, deposit and other commercial banking services through two full service and one drive-up office in Halifax and Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The Corporation competes with several other financial institutions to provide its services to individuals, businesses, municipalities and other organizations. The Corporation is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board while the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

        The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The following paragraphs briefly describe the more significant accounting policies.

Basis of presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation, and so such financial statements are not misleading, have been included.

        The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, included in its Registration Statement on Form S-4 dated September 2008.

        Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

        The consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 include the accounts of the Corporation and Halifax National Bank. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        The Corporation is a bank holding company that was incorporated in June 2007 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Bank became a wholly-owned bank subsidiary of the Corporation pursuant to a reorganization plan that was consummated on June 30, 2007. The transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling-of-interest method of accounting. Accordingly, the financial information relating to the periods prior to June 30, 2007 are reported under the name of HNB Bancorp, Inc.

Use of estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

        Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

        While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans 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 estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additional losses 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 estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Earnings per share

        Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Corporation has a simple capital structure and has no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

Off balance sheet financial instruments

        In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into off balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

        In 2005, the Corporation purchased additional land and buildings in Elizabethville, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, for possible expansion. The Bank is leasing a building located on this property to a non-related entity under a temporary short-term lease agreement. In 2007, the Corporation's Board of Directors decided to sell the Elizabethville property rather than use it for branch purposes, and transferred the property to be held for sale on the balance sheet. Accordingly, land with a carrying value of $219,774 and other buildings with a carrying value of $171,000 were transferred to real estate held for sale. As the fair value of the real estate exceeded its carrying value, no loss was recorded.

        In March 2008, the Bank sold its Elizabethville property for approximately $ 845,000 and realized a pre-tax gain of approximately $456,000.

PENSION PLAN TERMINATION

        In 2007, the Corporation approved the termination of the pension plan effective January 31, 2008. No benefits have accrued under the plan since it was frozen in December 2005, at which time a 401(k) savings plan became the primary retirement benefit for employees. Upon final approval by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, annuities will be purchased to satisfy all pension benefit liabilities. The Corporation expects to make cash contributions to the plan of approximately $325,000 to $425,000 between now and the final distributions. In addition, the Corporation expects to record a charge to earnings of approximately $325,000 to $425,000, or $215,000 to $280,000 net of taxes, upon final distribution. The Corporation hopes to make the final distributions in 2008, but the receipt date of the necessary approvals from the IRS and PBGC cannot be predicted with certainty.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

        Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Changes in certain assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, and unrecognized pension losses are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

        Other comprehensive loss consisted solely of unrealized losses on securities available for sale of approximately $110,813 or $73,137 net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, and $227,000, or $150,000 net of taxes, in 2007. The unrecognized pension losses amortization component of other comprehensive loss is not significant for either period presented.

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

        In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for the Corporation as of January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157." This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements upon adoption on January 1, 2009.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2008. The Corporation did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008.

        SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

        Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING (Continued)

        Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

        Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

        The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value.

        Securities: The fair value of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

PENDING MERGER

        In June 2008, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement for a business combination with First Perry Bancorp, Inc., which is headquartered in Marysville, Pennsylvania. Upon combination, a new holding company will be formed, and will issue 2.52 shares of common stock for each share of Corporation stock owned by shareholders, and will issue 2.435 shares of common stock for each share of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. owned by shareholders. The primary reason for the combination is to pool resources to provide greater products and services to customers in contiguous counties, and provide cost savings through the consolidation of operations. It is contemplated that the transaction will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2008.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        FASB Statement No. 141 (R)  Business Combinations was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a Company's fiscal

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)


year beginning after December 15, 2008. The new pronouncement will impact the Corporation's accounting for business combinations beginning January 1, 2009.

        FASB Statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51 was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company's fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Corporation believes that this new pronouncement will not have a significant impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In September 2006, the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, "Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements" ("EITF 06-4"). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee's benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee's active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee's retirement. Alternatively, if the policyholder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. The adoption of EITF 06-04 on January 1, 2008 had no impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (Statement 161). Statement 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. Statement 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 has been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Statement 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this standard will have any impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles . This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Corporation is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Description of Riverview Capital Securities

        The authorized capital stock of Riverview consists of 5,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.50 par value per share. Upon completion of the consolidation, it is expected that there will be approximately 1,750,085 shares of Riverview common stock issued and outstanding. Currently, no shares of common stock are issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

         Voting Rights.     Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters upon which shareholders have the right to vote. Shareholders cannot cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

         Preemptive Rights.     Riverview's common stock does carry preemptive subscription rights.

         Liquidation.     In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Riverview, the holders of common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities on a pro rata basis.

         Liability for Further Assessments.     Riverview will not subject shareholders to further assessments on their shares of common stock.

         Sinking Fund Provision.     The common stock does not require a separate capital reserve maintained to pay shareholders with preferential rights for their investment in the event of liquidation or redemption.

         Redemption or Conversion Rights.     The holders of common stock do not have a right of redemption, which is the right to sell their shares back to Riverview, nor do they have a right to convert their shares to other classes or series of stock, such as preferred stock.

         Dividends.     Each shareholder is entitled to receive dividends that may be declared by the board of directors out of legally available funds.

        Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, Riverview may not pay a dividend if afterwards:


        Furthermore, in order for Riverview to pay a cash dividend to shareholders, Riverview National Bank must first pay a dividend to Riverview. As a result, the legal restrictions on Riverview National Bank dividend payments also affect Riverview's ability to pay dividends.

        Payment of dividends by Riverview National Bank is subject to the restrictions set forth in the National Bank Act, which provides that dividends may be declared by the board of directors and paid from the net profits of Riverview National Bank as the board of directors judge expedient. Dividends may be paid only if: (1) the payment would not impair Riverview National Bank's capital structure; (2) if Riverview National Bank's surplus is at least equal to its common capital; (3) the dividends declared in any year do not exceed the net profits in that year and the net profits retained in the two (2) preceding years; (4) no losses have been sustained equal to or exceeding its undivided profits; and (5) Riverview National Bank continues to operate with a net profit after deducting its losses and bad debts. In addition, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (12 U.S.C. § 1818), dividends cannot be declared and paid if the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency obtains a cease and desist order because a dividend payment would constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

227



Comparison of Shareholders' Rights

        Upon completion of the consolidation, First Perry and HNB shareholders will become Riverview shareholders, and their rights will be governed by the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Riverview. Consequently, certain differences in the rights of the shareholders of Riverview might exist between their rights as either First Perry or HNB shareholders.

        The following is a summary of the material differences that First Perry and HNB shareholders will experience regarding their rights as shareholders of Riverview. This discussion is not a complete statement of all differences affecting the rights of First Perry, HNB, and Riverview shareholders, and we qualify this discussion in its entirety by reference to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of First Perry, HNB, and Riverview.

Proposal No. 2—
Adjournment or Postponement

        In the event that either First Perry or HNB does not have sufficient votes for a quorum or to approve and adopt the consolidation agreement at their special meetings of shareholders, they intend to adjourn or postpone their meetings to permit further solicitation of proxies. First Perry and HNB can only use proxies they receive at the time of their special meeting to vote for adjournment or postponement, if necessary, by submitting the question of adjournment or postponement to shareholders as a separate matter for consideration.

        The boards of directors of First Perry and HNB recommend that their respective shareholders mark their proxy in favor of the adjournment or postponement proposal so that their proxy may be used to vote for adjournment or postponement if necessary. If shareholders properly execute their proxy, First Perry and HNB will consider that those shareholders voted in favor of the adjournment or postponement proposal unless their proxy indicates otherwise. If First Perry or HNB adjourn or postpone their special meeting, they will not give notice of the time and place of the adjourned or postponed meeting other than by an announcement of such time and place at their special meeting.

Reigle. Furthermore, each Director and nominee for Director must either have an address for a place of business or a residence within a sixty (60) mile radius of the Corporation's headquarters.

Such notification shall contain the following information to the extent known by the notifying shareholder.

        Any nomination for director not made in accordance with this Section shall be disregarded by the presiding officer of the meeting, and votes cast for each such nominee shall be disregarded by the judges of election. In the event that the same person is nominated by more than one shareholder, if at least one nomination for such person complies with this Section, the nomination shall be honored and all votes cast for such nominee shall be counted.

C-4


         Section 9.2     The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be not less than five (5) nor more than twenty-five (25). Within the foregoing limits, the Board of Directors may from time to time fix the number of directors and their respective classifications.

        The directors will be classified with respect to the time they severally hold office by dividing them into three classes, each consisting as nearly as possible of one-third of the number of the whole Board. Nothing herein should be construed to require exact equality in the number of directors of each class. At the first annual meeting of shareholders in 2009 [PROPER DATE NEEDS TO BE INSERTED], directors of Class A will be elected for a term of three years; directors of Class B for a term of two years; and directors of Class C for a term of one year; and at each succeeding annual meeting the successors to the class of directors whose term expires that year will be elected to hold office for a term of three years, so that the term of office of one class of directors expires in each year. The directors will hold office until the expiration of the term for which they were elected and their successors are elected and have qualified.

         Section 9.3     The Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a director who has been judicially declared of unsound mind or who has been convicted of an offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of more than one year or for any other proper cause which these By-laws may specify or if, within sixty (60) days or such other time as these By-laws may specify after notice of his selection, he does not accept the office either in writing or by attending a meeting of the Board of Directors and fulfill such other requirements of qualification as these By-laws may specify.

         Section 9.4     Upon application of any shareholder or director, the court may remove from office any director in case of fraudulent or dishonest acts, or gross abuse of authority or discretion with reference to the Corporation, or for any other proper cause, and may bar from office any director so removed for a period prescribed by the court. The Corporation shall be made a party to the action and, as a prerequisite to the maintenance of an action under this Section 9.5, a shareholder shall comply with Section 1782 of the Business Corporation Law of 1988, and any amendments or supplements thereto.

         Section 9.5     An act of the Board of Directors done during the period when a director has been suspended or removed for cause shall not be impugned or invalidated if the suspension or removal is thereafter rescinded by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors or by the final judgment of a court.

         Section 9.6     The Board of Directors may appoint a person who previously held the position of Director to be a Director Emeritus. A Director Emeritus may attend meetings of the Board of Directors and shall have such other rights and privileges as may be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.


Article 10
VACANCIES ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         Article 10.1     Vacancies on the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled by a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director, though less than a quorum, and each person so appointed shall be a director until the expiration of the term of office of the class of directors to which he was appointed.


Article 11
POWERS OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         Section 11.1     The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things

C-5


as are not by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or by these By-laws directed or required to be exercised and done by the shareholders.

         Section 11.2     A director shall stand in a fiduciary relation to the Corporation and shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors upon which he may serve, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Corporation and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances. In performing his duties, a director shall be entitled to rely in good faith on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by any of the following:

        A director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause his reliance to be unwarranted.

        In assessing whether the standard set forth herein has been satisfied, there shall not be any greater obligation to justify, or higher burden of proof with respect to, any act as the board of directors, any committee of the board or any individual director relating to or affecting an acquisition or potential or proposed acquisition of control of the corporation than is applied to any other act as a board of directors, any committee of the board or any individual director.

         Section 11.3     In discharging the duties of their respective positions, the Board of Directors, committees of the Board of Directors and individual directors may, in considering the best interests of the Corporation, consider the effects of any action upon employees, upon suppliers, upon creditors and customers of the Corporation and upon communities in which offices or other establishments of the Corporation are located, and all other pertinent factors. The consideration of those factors shall not constitute a violation of Section 11.2.

         Section 11.4     Absent breach of fiduciary duty, lack of good faith or self-dealing, actions taken as a director or any failure to take any action shall be presumed to be in the best interests of the Corporation.

         Section 11.5     A director shall not be personally liable, as such, for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action, unless:

The right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of the action.

The term "Board of Directors," when used in any provision of this Article 12 relating to the organization or procedures of or the manner of taking action by the Board of Directors, shall be construed to include and refer to any executive or other committee of the Board of Directors. Any provision of this Article 12 relating or referring to action to be taken by the Board of Directors or the procedure required therefor shall be satisfied by the taking of corresponding action by a committee of the Board of Directors to the extent authority to take the action has been delegated to the committee pursuant to this Article 12.

INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 23.1    (Third Party Actions)     The Corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a representative of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a representative of another domestic or foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

         Section 23.2    (Derivative Actions)     The Corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a representative of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a representative of another domestic or foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the

C-10



Corporation. Indemnification shall not be made under this section in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas of the judicial district embracing the county in which the registered office of the Corporation is located or the court in which the action was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court of common pleas or other court deems proper.

         Section 23.3    (Mandatory Indemnification)     To the extent that a representative of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding referred to in Sections 23.1 (relating to third party actions) or 23.2 (relating to derivative actions) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

         Section 23.4    (Procedure for Effecting Indemnification)     Unless ordered by a court, any indemnification under Sections 23.1 (relating to third party actions) or 23.2 (relating to derivative actions) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the person is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in those sections. The determination shall be made:

            (a)   by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action or proceeding;

            (b)   if such a quorum is not obtainable or if obtainable and a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

            (c)   by the shareholders.

         Section 23.5    (Advancing Expenses)     Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending any action or proceeding referred to in this Article 23 may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article 23 or otherwise.

         Section 23.6    (Supplementary Coverage)     (a) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article 23 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any By-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding that office. The Corporation may create a fund of any nature, which may, but need not be, under the control of a trustee, or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its indemnification obligations, whether arising under or pursuant to this Section 23.6 or otherwise.

            (b)   Indemnification pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 23.6 shall not be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

            (c)   Indemnification pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 23.6 under any By-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, may be granted for any action taken or any failure to take any action and may be made whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the person under any other provision of law except as provided in this Section 23.6 and whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Corporation.

         Section 23.7    (Power to Purchase Insurance)     The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a representative of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a representative of another domestic or foreign

C-11


corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under the provisions of this Article 23.

         Section 23.8    (Application to Surviving or New Corporations)     For the purpose of this Article 23, references to "the Corporation" include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation, merger or division, as well as the surviving or new corporations surviving or resulting therefrom, so that any person who is or was a representative of the constituent, surviving or new corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the constituent, surviving or new corporation as a representative of another domestic or foreign corporation for profit or not-for-profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article 23 with respect to the surviving or new corporation as he would if he had served the surviving or new corporation in the same capacity.

         Section 23.9    (Application to Employee Benefit Plans)     For purposes of this Article 23:

            (a)   References to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a representative of the Corporation that imposes duties on, or involves services by, the representative with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries.

            (b)   Excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be deemed "fines."

            (c)   Action with respect to an employee benefit plan taken or omitted in good faith by a representative of the Corporation in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be action in a manner that is not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

         Section 23.10    (Duration and Extent of Coverage)     The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article 23 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a representative of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representative of that person.


Article 24
SHARE CERTIFICATES

Where the certificate is signed by a transfer agent or a registrar, the signature of any corporate officer on such certificate may be a facsimile engraved or printed. In case any officer who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any share certificate shall have ceased to be such officer because of death, resignation or otherwise before the certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if the officer had not ceased to be such at the date of its issue.


Article 25
TRANSFER OF SHARES

         Section 25.1     Upon surrender to the Corporation of a share certificate duly endorsed by the person named in the certificate or by attorney duly appointed in writing and accompanied where necessary by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, a new certificate shall

Article 26
LOST CERTIFICATES

         Section 26.1     Where a shareholder of the Corporation alleges the loss, theft or destruction of one or more certificates for shares of the Corporation and requests the issuance of a substitute certificate therefor, the Board of Directors may direct a new certificate of the same tenor and for the same number of shares to be issued to such person upon such person's making of an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Board of Directors setting forth the facts in connection therewith, provided that prior to the receipt of such request the Corporation shall not have either registered a transfer of such certificate or received notice that such certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his heirs or legal representatives, as the case may be, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or give the Corporation a bond in such form and with surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as shall be satisfactory to the Board of Directors, as indemnity for any liability or expense which it may incur by reason of the original certificate remaining outstanding.

         Section 27.2     Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purposes as the Board of Directors shall believe to be for the best interests of the Corporation, and the Board of Directors may reduce or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

NOTICES AND WAIVERS THEREOF

         Section 32.1     Whenever written notice is required to be given to any person under the provisions of applicable law, by the Articles of Incorporation or of these By-laws, it may be given to the person either personally or by sending a copy thereof by first class or express mail, postage prepaid, or by telegram (with messenger service specified), telex or TWX (with answer-back received) or courier service, charges prepaid, or by telecopier, to his address (or to his telex, TWX, telecopier or telephone number) appearing on the books of the Corporation or, in the case of directors, supplied by him to the Corporation for the purpose of notice. If the notice if sent by mail, telegraph or courier service, it shall be deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto when deposited in the United States mail or with a telegraph office or courier service for delivery to that person or, in the case of telex or TWX, when dispatched. A notice of meeting shall specify the place, day and hour of the meeting and any other information required by any other provision of these By-laws.

         Section 32.2     Whenever any written notice is required to be given under the provisions of applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation or of these By-laws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to the notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of the notice. Except as otherwise required by these By-laws, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, a meeting need be specified in the waiver of notice of the meeting. In the case of a special meeting of shareholders, the waiver of notice shall specify the general nature of the business to be transacted.

         Section 32.3     Attendance of a person at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting except where a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

Any action or meeting that is taken or held without notice or communication to that person shall have the same validity as if the notice or communication had been duly given. If the action taken is

C-14



such as to require the filing of any document with respect thereto under any provision of law or any agreement or other instrument, it shall be sufficient, if such is the fact and if notice or communication in required, to state therein that notice or communication was given to all persons entitled to receive notice or communication except persons with whom communication was unlawful.

         Section 32.5     Section 32.4 shall also be applicable to any shareholder with whom the Corporation has been unable to communicate for more than twenty-four (24) consecutive months because communications to the shareholder are returned unclaimed or the shareholder has otherwise failed to provide the Corporation with a current address. Whenever the shareholder provides the Corporation with a current address, Section 32.4 shall cease to be applicable to the shareholder under this Section 32.5.


Article 33
EMERGENCIES

The emergency By-laws may make any provision that may be appropriate for the circumstances of the emergency including, procedures for calling meetings of the Board of Directors, quorum requirements for meetings and procedures for designating additional or substitute directors.

         Section 33.2     The Board of Directors, either before or during any emergency, may provide, and from time to time modify, lines of succession in the event that during the emergency any or all officers or agents of the Corporation shall for any reason be rendered incapable of discharging their duties and may, effective in the emergency, change the head offices or designate several alternative head offices or regional offices of the Corporation or authorize the officers to do so.

         Section 33.3     A representative of the Corporation acting in accordance with any emergency By-laws shall not be liable except for willful misconduct and shall not be liable for any action taken by him in good faith in an emergency in furtherance of the ordinary business affairs of the Corporation even though not authorized by the emergency or other By-laws then in effect.

         Section 33.4     To the extent not inconsistent with any emergency By-laws so adopted, the By-laws of the Corporation shall remain in effect during any emergency and, upon its termination, the emergency By-laws shall cease to be effective.

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL


June 18, 2008

To The Board of Directors of
First Perry Bancorp, Inc.
Marysville, Pennsylvania

Gentlemen:

        You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the shareholders of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. ("First Perry") of the exchange ratio governing the prospective exchange of shares of First Perry common stock for shares of a to be named new Holding Company ("Holding Company") common stock in connection with the proposed combination of First Perry and HNB Bancorp, Inc. ("HNB") in a transaction (the "Consolidation") to be consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement and Plan of Consolidation (the "Agreement") dated June, 2008 by and between First Perry and HNB.

        As more specifically set forth in the Agreement, upon consummation of the contemplated Consolidation, each outstanding share of the common stock of First Perry ("First Perry Common Stock") except for any dissenting shares and except for shares held by HNB or First Perry (in both cases, other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted), will be entitled to be exchanged for 2.435 shares of the common stock of the Holding Company ("Holding Company Common Stock") (the "First Perry Exchange Ratio") in a transaction in which, simultaneously, each outstanding share of the common stock of HNB ("HNB Common Stock"), except for any dissenting shares and except for shares held by First Perry or HNB (in both cases, other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted), will be entitled to be exchanged for 2.520 shares of Holding Company Common Stock (the "HNB Exchange Ratio").

        Cedar Hill has been retained by the Board of Directors of First Perry as an independent contractor to render this opinion. Cedar Hill will receive a customary fee for its services. In addition, First Perry has agreed to indemnify Cedar Hill against certain liabilities that could arise from expressing this opinion. Cedar Hill, as part of its financial advisory business, is continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

        In conducting its analysis and arriving at its opinion as expressed herein, Cedar Hill has among other things:

D-1


        In conducting its review and analyses and in rendering this opinion, Cedar Hill has assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information used by Cedar Hill in arriving at this opinion. Cedar Hill further relied upon the assurances of the respective managements of First Perry and HNB that they are not aware of any fact, circumstances or other information that would make the information provided to Cedar Hill incomplete or misleading. Cedar Hill was not asked to and did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information and Cedar Hill does not assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness of any of such information. Cedar Hill did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the any specific assets or their collectibility or the collateral securing any assets, or the liabilities, contingent or otherwise (including without limitation any hedge, swap, foreign exchange, or other derivative or off-balance sheet items), of First Perry or HNB or any of their respective subsidiaries, nor was Cedar Hill furnished with any evaluations or appraisals of any of the foregoing. Cedar Hill is not an expert in evaluating loan and lease portfolios for purposes of evaluating their quality or assessing the adequacy of the allowances for losses for First Perry or HNB. As a result, Cedar Hill has not assumed any responsibility for making an independent evaluation of any loan or lease assets or the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of First Perry or HNB, and Cedar Hill has assumed such allowances were adequate and complied fully with applicable law, regulatory policy, sound banking practice and policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cedar Hill has not reviewed or sampled any loan files of First Perry, HNB or their respective subsidiaries.

        With respect to financial forecasts provided by First Perry and HNB, Cedar Hill was advised by the managements of First Perry and HNB, and it has assumed without independent investigation, that they were reasonably prepared and reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments as to the expected future financial performance of First Perry, HNB and the Holding Company respectively. Cedar Hill has also relied, without independent verification, upon the estimates and judgments of the managements of First Perry and HNB as to the potential cost savings and other potential synergies (including the amount, timing and achievability thereof) anticipated to result from the Consolidation. Cedar Hill expresses no opinion as to such financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based. Cedar Hill has also assumed that there has been no material change in First Perry's or HNB's assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to Cedar Hill. Cedar Hill has assumed in all respects material to its

analysis that First Perry and HNB will each remain as a going concern for all periods relevant to Cedar Hill's analysis.

        Cedar Hill's opinion is necessarily based upon financial, economic, market and other conditions as they exist, and the information made available to Cedar Hill, as of the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. Cedar Hill disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting its opinion which may come or be brought to its attention after the date hereof. Although Cedar Hill has agreed to update this opinion for inclusion in a proxy statement or other similar such communication if requested by First Perry, Cedar Hill has not otherwise undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion upon events occurring after the date hereof. Although Cedar Hill evaluated the First Perry Exchange Ratio, it did not recommend the First Perry Exchange Ratio or the HNB Exchange Ratio, which were determined through negotiations between First Perry and HNB. Cedar Hill has also assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that (i) the Consolidation will be consummated in accordance with the terms, including and not limited to the representations and warranties, set forth in the Agreement and the schedules and exhibits thereto reviewed by Cedar Hill without any material amendment thereto and without waiver by any of the parties thereto of any of the conditions to their respective obligations, and (ii) all regulatory and other approvals and third party consents required for the consummation of the Consolidation will be obtained without material cost to First Perry and HNB. Cedar Hill also assumed that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or other consents or approvals (contractual or otherwise) for the Consolidation, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of First Perry, HNB or the Holding Company, as the case may be, or on the contemplated benefits of the Consolidation, including the expected synergies. It has further assumed that the Consolidation will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes and has relied upon, with First Perry's consent, the advice First Perry received from its legal, accounting, and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Consolidation and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

        This opinion has been prepared at the request of, and for the information of, the Board of Directors of First Perry for its use in evaluating whether the First Perry Exchange Ratio specified in the Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of First Perry. Cedar Hill's opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to any action the Board of Directors or any shareholder of First Perry should take in connection with the Consolidation or any aspect thereof and is not a recommendation to any person on how such person should vote in his or her consideration of the Consolidation. Cedar Hill's opinion relates solely to the fairness, as of the date hereof, of the First Perry Exchange Ratio specified in the Agreement, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of First Perry. Because the Holding Company Common Stock for which First Perry Common Stock will be exchanged will be created through the Consolidation and because the Holding Company has no prior operating record or historical market value, the value of the Holding Company Common Stock to be received by First Perry (or HNB) shareholders cannot be specified in the usual manner. Accordingly, the fairness of the First Perry Exchange Ratio from a financial point of view to the shareholders of First Perry must be interpreted in conjunction with the corresponding HNB Exchange Ratio, since both apply to the consolidation. Cedar Hill expresses no opinion herein as to the structure, terms or effect of any other aspect of the Consolidation, the merits of the underlying decision of First Perry to consummate the Consolidation, any other actions taken or proposed to be taken by First Perry in connection with the Consolidation, or any other transactions or business strategies discussed by the Board of Directors of First Perry as alternatives to the Consolidation. Cedar Hill is expressing no opinion herein as to (i) the value or price of the Holding Company's common stock when it is issued to First Perry shareholders pursuant to the Agreement or (ii) the respective prices at which First Perry's, HNB's or the Holding Company's stock may trade at any time, including the date hereof. This opinion may not be used for any other purpose than as stated in this letter, and may not be published,

D-3



reproduced, summarized, described or referred to or given to any other person or otherwise made public without Cedar Hill's prior written consent.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is Cedar Hill's opinion that, as of the date hereof, the First Perry Exchange Ratio of 2.435:1 is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of First Perry in a Consolidation in which the corresponding exchange ratio for the shareholders of HNB is 2.520:1.

    Very truly yours,

The Board of Directors
HNB Bancorp, Inc.
Third and Market Streets
Halifax, Pennsylvania 17032

Dear members of the board,

        This letter sets forth Danielson Capital, LLC's ("Danielson") opinion as to the fairness of a business combination in which HNB Bancorp, Inc. ("HNB") of Halifax, Pennsylvania, and First Perry Bancorp, Inc. ("First Perry") of Marysville, Pennsylvania, would combine into a new holding company, Riverview Financial Corporation ("Riverview Financial"). As of March 31, 2008, HNB had equity capital of $10.7 million and First Perry, $13 million. In this business combination, HNB shareholders would receive 2.520 shares of Riverview Financial and First Perry shareholders 2.435 shares of Riverview Financial. After the business combination is completed, HNB shareholders would own 45% of Riverview Financial and First Perry shareholders would own 55%. The fairness from a financial perspective to HNB and its shareholders is determined by the likely impact of this business combination on the increase in earnings and the value of HNB's common stock.

        In preparing this opinion, Danielson analyzed the markets served by HNB and First Perry; reviewed their financial performances and future prospects; reviewed the cost savings potential of the business combination; determined the value range of their individual stocks based on those of other banks and the likely value range after the business combination is completed. In addition, any unique characteristics of HNB and First Perry have been considered.

        The information that formed a substantial basis for this fairness opinion was based on data supplied to Danielson by HNB and First Perry as well as some public information, all of which is believed to be reliable. However, the completeness and the accuracy of such information cannot be guaranteed and was not independently verified by Danielson. In particular, the opinion assumed that there are no asset quality problems at HNB or First Perry beyond what was stated in recent reports to the regulatory agencies.

        In determining the fair ownership percentage and exchange ratio for HNB in its business combination with First Perry, primary consideration was given to HNB's and First Perry's capital contribution based on capital as of March 31, 2008. Other contributed items such as assets, loans, deposits and earnings were considered, as well as the likely impact of the business combination on HNB's earnings, capital, tangible capital and the value range of its common stock.

        Based on the above, it is our opinion that on the date hereof, the consideration to be received by HNB shareholders from this business combination is fair from a financial point of view.


 

 

Respectfully submitted,

F-1


F-2


        § 1572.     Definitions.     

        The following words and phrases when used in this subchapter shall have the meanings given to them in this section unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

         "Corporation."     The issuer of the shares held or owned by the dissenter before the corporate action or the successor by merger, consolidation, division, conversion or otherwise of that issuer. A plan of division may designate which one or more of the resulting corporations is the successor corporation for the purposes of this subchapter. The designated successor corporation or corporations in a division shall have sole responsibility for payments to dissenters and other liabilities under this subchapter except as otherwise provided in the plan of division.

         "Dissenter."     A shareholder who is entitled to and does assert dissenters rights under this subchapter and who has performed every act required up to the time involved for the assertion of those rights.

        "Fair value." The fair value of shares immediately before the effectuation of the corporate action to which the dissenter objects, taking into account all relevant factors, but excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the corporate action.

         "Interest."     Interest from the effective date of the corporate action until the date of payment at such rate as is fair and equitable under all the circumstances, taking into account all relevant factors, including the average rate currently paid by the corporation on its principal bank loans.

         "Shareholder."     A shareholder as defined in section 1103 (relating to definitions), or an ultimate beneficial owner of shares, including without limitation, a holder of depository receipts, where the beneficial interest owned includes an interest in the assets of the corporation upon dissolution.

        § 1573.     Record and beneficial holders and owners.     

        § 1574.     Notice of intention to dissent.     

        If the proposed corporate action is submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders of a business corporation, any person who wishes to dissent and obtain payment of the fair value of his shares must file with the corporation, prior to the vote, a written notice of intention to demand that he be paid the fair value for his shares if the proposed action is effectuated, must effect no change in the beneficial ownership of his shares from the date of such filing continuously through the effective date of the proposed action and must refrain from voting his shares in approval of such action. A dissenter who fails in any respect shall not acquire any right to payment of the fair value of his shares under this subchapter. Neither a proxy nor a vote against the proposed corporate action shall constitute the written notice required by this section.

F-3


        § 1575.     Notice to demand payment.     

        § 1576.     Failure to comply with notice to demand payment, etc.     

        § 1577.     Release of restrictions or payment for shares.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Pennsylvania law provides that a Pennsylvania corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents of the corporation against liabilities they may incur in these capacities for any action taken or any failure to act, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person under any provision of law, unless the action or failure to act is determined by a court to have constituted recklessness or willful misconduct. Pennsylvania law also permits the adoption of a bylaw amendment, approved by shareholders, providing for the elimination of a director's liability for monetary damages for any action taken or any failure to take any action unless (1) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of office as a director, and (2) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.

        The bylaws of each of First Perry and HNB provide for (1) indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant and of its subsidiaries, and (2) the elimination of a director's liability for monetary damages, to the full extent permitted by Pennsylvania law.

        Directors and officers of each of First Perry and HNB are also insured against certain liabilities by an insurance policy obtained by First Perry and HNB.

Item 22. Undertakings

        (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

            (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                (i)  To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

              (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

II-2


            (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

            (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

        (b)   That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of those securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (c)   (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public re-offering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such re-offering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to re-offerings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

            (2)   The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (d)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the bylaws of the registrant, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

        (e)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

        (f)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Re:

Consolidation of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and HNB Bancorp, Inc. to
Form Riverview Financial Corporation

 

Our File No: 110-003

 

Dear Members of the Boards:

 

You have requested our opinion in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation (“Agreement”) dated June 18, 2008 between First Perry Bancorp, Inc. (“First Perry”) and HNB Bancorp, Inc. (“HNB”), pursuant to which First Perry and HNB will consolidate to form a new holding company, Riverview Financial Corporation (“Riverview”)(the “Consolidation”).  At the Effective Date of the Consolidation, each share of First Perry and HNB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date will be converted into the right to receive Riverview Common Stock as provided in Section 1.02(e) of the Agreement.  No fractional shares of Riverview Common Stock will be issued in this transaction.  In lieu thereof, shareholders of First Perry and HNB will, to the extent relevant, receive cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 1.02(e) of the Agreement.  All shares of First Perry Common Stock or HNB Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by First Perry or HNB and any of their subsidiaries at the Effective Date will be canceled, and no shares of Riverview Common Stock or other property will be delivered in exchange therefor.

 

This opinion is furnished pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.01(h) of the Agreement.  All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise specified, have the meanings assigned to them in the Agreement and its exhibits.

 

In connection with providing our opinion, we have examined and are familiar with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: the Agreement and the exhibits and schedules thereto; the form of articles of incorporation of Riverview; the form of bylaws of Riverview; the Officers’ Certificates of First Perry and

 



 

HNB, attached hereto; and other documents that we deem necessary or appropriate for the individual opinions set forth below.  In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the latter documents. As to any facts material to this opinion that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon the foregoing documents and upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of First Perry and HNB, including certain written representations of the managements of each of First Perry and HNB.  The opinions we express are conditioned on the initial and continuing accuracy of the facts, information and representations contained in the aforesaid documents or otherwise referred to above.

 

We are expressing our opinion only as to matters expressly addressed herein as of the date hereof.  We are not expressing any opinion as to any other matters, or any other aspects of the transactions contemplated by this letter, whether discussed herein or not.  No opinion should be inferred as to any other matters, including without limitation, any other U.S. federal income tax issues with respect to the Consolidation or any related transactions or any state, local or foreign tax treatment of the Consolidation or any related transactions.

 

In preparing our opinion, we have considered applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), Treasury regulations, pertinent judicial authorities, interpretative rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other authorities that we deem relevant, any of which could be changed at any time.  Any such changes might be retroactive with respect to transactions entered into prior to the date of the changes and could significantly modify one or more of the opinions expressed below. Nevertheless, we undertake no responsibility to advise you of any subsequent developments in the application of the United States federal income tax laws.

 

As you are aware, no ruling has been or will be requested from the IRS concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of the Consolidation. In reviewing this opinion, you should be aware that the opinions set forth below represent our conclusion regarding the application of existing United States federal income tax law to the instant transaction. If the facts vary from those relied upon (or if any representation, covenant, warranty or assumption upon which we have relied is inaccurate, incomplete, breached or ineffective), one or more of the opinions contained herein could be inapplicable, in whole or in part. You should be aware that an opinion of counsel represents only counsel’s best legal judgment, and has no binding effect or official status of any kind, and that we can give no assurance that contrary positions may not be taken by the IRS or that a court considering the issues would not hold otherwise or disagree with the opinion.

 

Based solely upon and subject to the foregoing and upon the assumptions set forth herein, and subject to the qualifications and caveats set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, under present United States federal income tax law, the Consolidation constitutes a reorganization within the meaning of Code Section 368(a) and each party will be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of 368(b) of the Code.

 



 

We express no opinion as to the United States federal income tax consequences of the Consolidation to shareholders of First Perry or HNB, including but not limited to those subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax law (including, for example, foreign persons, financial institutions, dealers in securities, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, persons who hold shares of First Perry or HNB Common Stock in qualified retirement plans or programs, persons who acquired their shares of First Perry or HNB Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation and persons who hold shares of First Perry or HNB Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or constructive sale transaction) or with respect to the conversion of convertible securities. In addition, no opinion is expressed with respect to the tax consequences of the Consolidation under applicable foreign, state or local laws, or under federal tax laws other than those pertaining to the federal income tax. This opinion is given only with respect to laws and regulations presently in effect. We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in law or regulation that may hereafter occur, whether the same are retroactively or prospectively applied, or to update or supplement this opinion letter in any manner to reflect any facts or circumstances that hereafter come to our attention.

 

This opinion is dependent upon the accuracy and completeness of the facts and assumptions referenced above.  We have relied upon those facts and assumptions without any independent investigation or verification of their accuracy of completeness.  Any inaccuracy or incompleteness in our understanding of the facts and assumptions could adversely affect the opinion expressed in this letter.

 

The opinion expressed herein has been issued solely for your benefit in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and may not be (a) utilized or relied upon by you for any other purpose or (b) utilized, relied upon or quoted by any Person other than you, or distributed or discussed, without, in each instance, the prior written consent of a partner of this Firm; provided, however, we do hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to Bybel Rutledge LLP in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement under the caption “Material Federal Income Tax Consequences” without admitting that we are “experts” within the meaning of the Securities Act or 1933 or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this exhibit.  The opinion expressed herein is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and no other or more extensive opinion is intended, implied, or to be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated herein.  This opinion letter is not a guarantee and should not be construed or relied on as such.

 

 

Very truly yours,

10.4.1               Covenant Not to Compete

 

Confidential Business Information; Non-Competition

 

I.                                          Executive hereby acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of Halifax National Bank and accordingly agrees that during the term of employment with the Halifax National Bank and for two (2) years following termination of the Term of Employment for any reason set forth herein then, in consideration of the benefits to which Employee would then be entitled, Employee shall not, except as otherwise permitted in writing by Halifax National Bank:

 

(i)                                      be engaged, directly or indirectly, either for his own account or as agent, consultant, employee, partner, officer, director, proprietor, investor (except as an investor owning less than 5% of the stock of a publicly owned company) or otherwise of any person, firm, corporation or enterprise engaged in (1) the banking (including financial or bank holding company) or financial services industry, or in the County of Dauphin, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

 

10.4.2                   Judicial Remedies.   In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of any provision of these restrictions, Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, Executive consents to Bank’s or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates’ entitlement to such preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing Bank’s or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates’ rights hereunder and preventing Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. Executive expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above­described remedies.  Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates from pursuing any other remedies available to Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 10.41.1

 



 

are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded Bank or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates in Section 10.41.1 are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 10.4.1 will not be materially adverse to Executive’s employment with Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.

necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 10.4.1 will not be materially adverse to Executive’s employment with Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.

I.2  During the term of this Agreement the Executive shall perform such executive services for the Bank as are consistent with his title and as are assigned to him by the Bank’s Board of Directors.

Executive agrees that during the term of his employment except with the express consent of the Board of Directors, he will not, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in, become a director of, or render advisory or other services for, or make any financial investment in any firm, corporation, business entity or business enterprise competitive with the First National Bank of Marysville; provided, however, that Executive shall not thereby be precluded or prohibited from owning passive Investments, including investments in the securities of other financial institutions, so long as such ownership does not require him to devote substantial time to management or control of the business or activities in which he has invested.

 

III.  COMPENSATION

 

The Bank will compensate Executive for Executive’s services during the term of the Agreement at a minimum Annual Base Salary of One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($125,000.00) per year ending December 31, 2006, payable at the same times as salaries are payable to other executive employees.  Bank may from time to time increase Executive’s Annual Base Salary, and any and all such increases shall be deemed to constitute amendments to this Section to reflect the increased amounts.

The Bank shall not make any changes in such plans, benefits or privileges which would adversely affect Executive’s rights or benefits, unless such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to all executive officers of’ the Bank and does not result in a proportionately greater adverse change in the rights or benefits to Executive as compared with any other executive officer of the Bank.  Nothing paid to Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed to be in lieu of the salary payable to Executive pursuant to Section  III.1.

VII MISCELLANEOUS

WHEREAS, Employee is an President of Halifax National Bank and has developed an intimate and thorough knowledge of Halifax National Bank’s business methods and operations; and

 

WHEREAS, the retention of Employee’s services for and on behalf of Halifax National Bank is of material importance to the preservation and enhancement of the value of the Halifax National Bank business;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth below, Halifax National Bank and the Employee agree as follows:

 

I. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

 

1.1                                 Halifax National Bank hereby employs the Employee as President as set forth below, and Employee hereby accepts this employment and agrees to render such services to Halifax National Bank on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  The initial term of employment under this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2007 and shall terminate on December 31, 2010, unless further extended or sooner terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. After the initial three-year term, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically for a one-year term unless either the Board of Directors of Halifax National Bank or Employee gives contrary written notice to the other not less than 45 days in advance of the date on which this Agreement would otherwise terminate.  References to the term of this Agreement shall refer both to the initial term and successive terms.

 

1.2                                 During the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall perform such executive services for Halifax National Bank as are consistent with Employee’s title and as are assigned to Employee by the Halifax National Bank Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”).

 



 

II. COMPENSATION

 

2.1                                 Halifax National Bank will compensate Employee for Employee’s services during the term of the Agreement at a salary determined by the Board of Directors each year, at a salary/bonus set by the Board of Directors of Halifax National Bank less withholding required by law or agreed to by Employee, payable in installments at such times as Halifax National Bank customarily pays its other executive officers.

 

2.2                                 Employee Benefit Plans or Arrangements.  During the term of employment, Employee shall be entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans of Halifax National Bank as presently in effect or as they may be modified by Halifax National Bank from time to time.

 

2.3                                 Expenses.  During the Term of Employment, Employee shall be reimbursed for reasonable travel and other expenses (including telecommunications equipment) incurred or paid by Executive in connection with the performance of his services under this Agreement, upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting information as may as may from time to time be required.

 

III. TERMINATION

 

3.1                                 Halifax National Bank shall have the right, at any time upon prior written notice of termination satisfying the requirements of this Agreement to terminate Employee’s employment for just cause.  For the purpose of this Agreement, “termination for just cause” shall mean termination for personal dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit.  For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on the Employee’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by Employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of Halifax National Bank.  Any act or omission to act by the Employee in reliance upon an opinion of counsel to Halifax National Bank or counsel to the Employee shall not be deemed to be willful.

 

3.2                                 In the event that the Term of Employment shall be terminated for just cause, the employee shall be only entitled to the following:

 

I.                                         Any salary payable pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof which shall be accrued as of the Termination Date; and

 

II.                                     Such rights as Employee shall have accrued as of the Termination Date under the terms of any plans, programs or arrangements in which he participates pursuant to this Agreement hereof, any right

 



 

to reimbursement for expenses accrued as of the Termination Date and the right to receive the cash equivalent of paid annual vacation, personal and sick leave accrued as of the Termination Date.

 

3.3                                 In the event that the Term of Employment shall be terminated for any other reason than just cause as set forth in Section 3.1 hereof at any time during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to receive:

 

I.                                         Severance pay in an amount equal to two (2) times Employee’s annual compensation which for purposes of this section means Employee’s annual compensation including gross income for federal income tax purpose for the current year immediately proceeding the year in which the termination date occurs, including base salary, non-deferred amounts under annual incentive, long- term performance, and profit sharing plans, distributions of previously deferred amounts under such plans.  The Employee, at Employee’s election, will be paid the severance pay in either (ii) 24 equal monthly installments, or (ii) a lump sum equal to the present value of the amounts payable under this subsection; commencing within 30 days after his termination of employment.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, present value will be determined by using the short-term applicable federal rate under Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in effect on the Termination Date.

 

II.                                     For two-years after the Termination Date, continued participation in all non­cash employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements (including, without limitation, pension and retirement plans and arrangements, stock option plans, life insurance and health and accident plans and arrangements, medical insurance plans, disability plans, and vacation plans) in which Employee was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Termination Date.

 

III.                                 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, in the event any payments or benefits Employee may become entitled to pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Halifax National Bank shall pay to Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payments”) so that the net amount retained by Executive, after deduction of the Excise Tax (but before deduction for any federal, state or local income tax) on the Severance Payments and after deduction for the aggregate of any federal, state, or local income tax and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Severance Payments. For purposes of determination whether any of the Severance Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the

 



 

amount of such Excise Tax, (A) the entire amount of the Severance Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code and as subject to the Excise Tax unless and to the extent, in the written opinion of outside tax counsel and reasonably acceptable to Executive, such payments (in whole or in part) are not subject to the Excise Tax; and (B) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit (constituting a part of the severance Payments) shall be determined by Halifax National Bank’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of the Internal Revenue Code.  For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals (without taking into account surtaxes or loss or reduction of deductions) for the calendar year in which the Gross- Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation in the state and locality of Employee’s residence on the Termination Date.  In the event that the amount of Excise Tax Employee is required to pay is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder, Employee shall repay to the Halifax National Bank promptly after the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined the amount of the reduction, together with interest on the amount of such reduction at the rate of six percent per annum from the date of the Gross-Up Payment, plus, if in the written opinion of outside tax counsel selected by Halifax National Bank and reasonably acceptable to Employee, such payment (or a portion thereof) was not taxable income to Employee when reported or is deductible by Employee for federal income tax purposes, the net federal income tax benefit Employee actually realized as a result of making such payment pursuant to this sentence.  In the event that the amount of Excise Tax Executive is required to pay is subsequently determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder, the Halifax National Bank shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in the manner set forth above in respect of such excess (plus any interest, additions to tax, or penalties payable to Employee with respect to such excess) promptly after the time that the amount can be reasonably determined.

 

i.                                          The payments provided for in the above-section, shall be made not later than the fifth (5th) business day following the Termination Date; provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Bank shall pay to Employee on such day an

 



 

estimate, as determined in good faith by the Bank, of the minimum amount of such payments, and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate of six percent per annum) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined.

 

IV. CHANGE OF CONTROL

 

4.1                                  I.                                        For purposes of this Agreement, a “change in control of Halifax National Bank” shall mean a change in control of nature that would be required to be reported promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).  Such a change in control shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) any “person” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act in effect on the date first written above, other than Halifax National Bank or any “person” who on this date is a direct or officer of the Halifax National Bank is or becomes the “beneficial owner” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, directly or indirectly, of securities of Halifax National Bank representing 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Halifax National Bank then outstanding securities, or (b) during any period of two consecutive years during the term of this Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of Halifax National Bank cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority, unless the election of each director who was not a director at the beginning of the period has been approved in advance by directors representing at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors at the beginning of the period..

 

II.                                     The occurrence of, or execution of an Agreement providing for, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Halifax National Bank.

 

III.                                 The occurrence of, or execution of an agreement providing for a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving Halifax National Bank, unless (A) the shareholders of the Bank, as the case may be, immediately prior to the consummation of any such transaction will initially own securities representing a majority of the voting power of the surviving or resulting corporation, and (B) the directors of Halifax National Bank, as the case may be, immediately prior to the consummation of any such transaction will initially represent a majority of the directors of the surviving or resulting corporation.

 



 

IV.                                Upon the occurrence of change of control as defined herein, any supplemental executive retirement plan which the Employee is a participant shall be fully funded by the Bank and the Employee shall become fully vested.

 

4.2                                 Notice of Termination.  Upon the occurrence of a Bank Change in Control, the Employee may, within one (1) year after the occurrence of any such event resign from employment by a notice in writing (“Notice of Termination”) delivered to Bank, whereupon Employee will become entitled to the payments described in Section 4.3.

 

4.3                                 Rights of the Employee in the Event of Certain Terminations Following Bank Change in Control.  In the event the Employee validly and timely delivers a Notice of Termination to Bank, the Employee will be entitled to receive the following payments and benefits:

 

I.               Basic Payments.  The Employee will be paid an amount equal to two (2) times the Base Amount.  “Base Amount”, for purposes of this agreement shall mean an amount equal to the average annual compensation payable by Halifax National Bank to the Employee and includable by the Employee in gross income for the most recent five (5) taxable years or such shorter period as the Employee shall have been employed by the Halifax National Bank, ending before the date on which the Bank Change of Control occurred.  The Employee, at Employee’s election, will be paid the Basic Payments in either (i) 24 equal monthly installments, or (ii) a lump sum equal to the present value of the amounts payable under this subsection; commencing within 30 days after his termination of employment.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, present value will be determined by using the short-term applicable federal rate under Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in effect on the Termination Date., For purposes of this subsection, to the extent necessary, base salary and bonuses with any predecessor of the Bank or an affiliate thereof shall be taken in account.

 

II.                                     For two-years after the Termination Date, continued participation in all non­cash employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements (including, without limitation, pension and retirement plans and arrangements, stock option plans, life insurance and health and accident plans and arrangements, medical insurance plans, disability plans, and vacation plans) in which Employee was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Termination Date.

 



 

III.                                 Stock Options.  Upon a Bank Change in Control, all stock options therefore granted to the Employee by Bank and not previously exercisable shall become fully exercisable to the same extent and in the same manner as if they had become exercisable by passage of time or by virtue of Employee or the Bank achieving certain performance objectives in accordance with the relevant provisions of any plan or any agreement.

 

4.4                                 Voluntary Termination, Retirement or Death.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, except as expressly provided herein, the respective rights and obligations of the parties thereunder will terminate automatically upon the voluntary termination of the Employee’s employment, Employee’s retirement or Employee’s death.

 

4.5.                              Disability.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, section 4 of this Agreement and the respective rights and obligations of the parties thereunder will terminate automatically upon the termination of the Employee’s employment by reason of disability.  The term “disability” as used in this agreement mean incapacitation, by accident, sickness or otherwise, such that the Employee is rendered unable to perform the services required of Employee by Employee’s then position with Halifax National Bank for a period for six (6) consecutive months.

 

5.                                       Confidential Business Information; Non-Competition.

 

I.                                         Executive hereby acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of Halifax National Bank and accordingly agrees that during the term of employment with the Halifax National Bank and for two (2) years following termination of the Term of Employment for any reason set forth herein then, in consideration of the benefits to which Employee would then be entitled, Employee shall not, except as otherwise permitted in writing by Halifax National Bank:

 

(i) be engaged, directly or indirectly, either for his own account or as agent, consultant, employee, partner, officer, director, proprietor, investor (except as an investor owning less than 5% of the stock of a publicly owned company) or otherwise of any person, firm, corporation or enterprise engaged in (1) the banking (including financial or bank holding company) or financial services industry, or in the County of Dauphin, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

III.  TERMINATION

 

3.1                                 Halifax National Bank shall have the right, at any time upon prior written notice                of termination satisfying the requirements of this Agreement to terminate Employee’s employment for just cause.  For the purpose of this Agreement, “termination for just cause” shall mean termination for personal dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit.  For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on the Employee’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by Employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of Halifax National Bank.  Any act or omission to act by the Employee in reliance upon an opinion of counsel to Halifax National Bank or counsel to the Employee shall not be deemed to be willful.

 

3.2                                 In the event that the Term of Employment shall be terminated for just cause, the employee shall be only entitled to the following:

 

I.                                         Any salary payable pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof which shall be accrued as of the Termination Date; and

 



 

II.                                     Such rights as Employee shall have accrued as of the Termination Date under the terms of any plans, programs or arrangements in which he participates pursuant to this Agreement hereof, any right to reimbursement for expenses accrued as of the Termination Date and the right to receive the cash equivalent of paid annual vacation, personal and sick leave accrued as of the Termination Date.

 

3.3                                 In the event that the Term of Employment shall be terminated for any other reason than just cause as set forth in Section 3.1 hereof at any time during the term of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to receive:

 

I.                                         Severance pay in an amount equal to three (3) times Employee’s annual compensation which for purposes of this section means Employee’s annual compensation including gross income for federal income tax purpose for the current year immediately proceeding the year in which the termination date occurs, including base salary, non-deferred amounts under annual incentive, long- term performance, and profit sharing plans, distributions of previously deferred amounts under such plans.  The employee, at Employee’s election, ) will be paid the severance pay in either (ii) 36 equal monthly installments, or (ii) a lump sum equal to the present value of the amounts payable under this subsection; commencing within 30 days after his termination of employment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, present value will be determined by using the short-term applicable federal rate under Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in effect on the Termination Date.

 

II.                                     For three-years after the Termination Date, continued participation in all non­cash employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements (including, without limitation, pension and retirement plans and arrangements, stock option plans, life insurance and health and accident plans and arrangements, medical insurance plans, disability plans, and vacation plans) in which Employee was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Termination Date.

 

III.                                 Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, in the event any payments or benefits Employee may become entitled to pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Halifax National Bank shall pay to Employee an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payments”) so that the net amount retained by Executive, after deduction of the Excise Tax (but before deduction for any federal, state or local income tax) on the Severance Payments and after deduction for the aggregate of any federal, state, or local income tax and Excise Tax

 



 

upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Severance Payments.  For purposes of determination whether any of the Severance Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (A) the entire amount of the Severance Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(2) of the Code and as subject to the Excise Tax unless and to the extent, in the written opinion of outside tax counsel and reasonably acceptable to Executive, such payments (in whole or in part) are not subject to the Excise Tax; and (B) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit (constituting a part of the severance Payments) shall be determined by Halifax National Bank’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals (without taking into account surtaxes or loss or reduction of deductions) for the calendar year in which the Gross- Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation in the state and locality of Employee’s residence on the Termination Date.  In the event that the amount of Excise Tax Employee is required to pay is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder, Employee shall repay to the Halifax National Bank promptly after the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined the amount of the reduction, together with interest on the amount of such reduction at the rate of six percent per annum from the date of the Gross-Up Payment, plus, if in the written opinion of outside tax counsel selected by Halifax National Bank and reasonably acceptable to Employee, such payment (or a portion thereof) was not taxable income to Employee when reported or is deductible by Employee for federal income tax purposes, the net federal income tax benefit Employee actually realized as a result of making such payment pursuant to this sentence.  In the event that the amount of Excise Tax Executive is required to pay is subsequently determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder, the Halifax National Bank shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in the manner set forth above in respect of such excess (plus any interest, additions to tax, or penalties payable to Employee with respect to such excess) promptly after the time that the amount can be reasonably determined.

 

i.                                          The payments provided for in the above-section, shall be made not later than the fifth (5th) business day following the Termination Date; provided,

 



 

however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Bank shall pay to Employee on such day an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Bank, of the minimum amount of such payments, and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate of six percent per annum) as soon as the amount thereof can be determined.

General Limitations

 

5.1                                  Excess Parachute or Golden Parachute Payment .  If the payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Bank, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code or would be a prohibited golden parachute payment pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.2 and for which the appropriate federal banking agency has not given written consent to pay pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.4, the payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced, in the manner determined by the Executive, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under this Agreement being non-deductible to the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.

 

5.2                                  Termination for Cause .  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement, if the Bank terminate the Executive’s employment for cause.  Termination of the Executive’s employment for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order or material breach of any provision of the Agreement.  For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Executive’s part shall be considered ‘‘willful’’ unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank.

 



 

5.3                                  Removal .  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”).

 

5.4                                  Competition after Termination of Employment .  The Executive shall forfeit his right to any further benefits if the Executive, without the prior written consent of the Bank, violates anyone of the following described restrictive covenants.

 

5.4.1                         Non-compete Provision .  The Executive shall not, for the term of this Plan and until all benefits have been distributed, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, consultant or independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity (excluding an ownership interest of three percent (3%) or less in the stock of a publicly traded company):

 

(i)                  become employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other similar financial institution if the Executive’s responsibilities will include providing banking or other financial services within the twenty-five (25) miles of any office maintained by the Bank as of the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment; or

 

(ii)                   participate in any way in hiring or otherwise engaging, or assisting any other person or entity in hiring or otherwise engaging, on a temporary, part-time or permanent basis, any individual who was employed by the Bank as of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment; or

 

(iii)                    assist, advise, or serve in any capacity, representative or otherwise, any third party in any action against the Bank or transaction involving the Bank; or

 

(iv)               sell, offer to sell, provide banking or other financial services, assist any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or solicit or otherwise compete for, either directly or indirectly, any orders, contract, or accounts for services of a kind or nature like or substantially similar to the financial services performed or financial products sold by the Bank (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from any person or entity from whom the Executive or the Bank, to the knowledge of the Executive provided banking or other financial services, sold, offered to sell or solicited orders, contracts or accounts for Services during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment; or

 

(v)              divulge, disclose, or communicate to others in any manner whatsoever, any confidential information of the Bank, to the knowledge of the Executive , including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers, of the Bank, as they may have existed from time to time, of work performed or services rendered for any customer, any method and/or procedures relating to projects or other work developed for the Bank, earnings or other information concerning the Bank.

 



 

The restrictions contained in this subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the Bank, regardless of the source who provided or compiled such information.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all information referred to herein, shall not be disclosed unless and until it becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Executive.

 

5.4.2                         Judicial Remedies .  In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of these restrictions, the Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank.  Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Executive consents to the Bank’s entitlement to such ex parte , preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’s rights hereunder and preventing the Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein.  The Executive expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the Bank post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies.  Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive.  The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that:  (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4.1 hereof are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Bank in Section 5.4.1 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4.1 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Executive’s employment with the Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.

 

5.4.3                         Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant .  It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.

 

5.4.4                         Change in Control .  The non-compete provision detailed in Section 5.4.1 hereof shall not be enforceable following a Change in Control.

 

5.5                                  Suicide or Misstatement .  No benefits shall be payable if the Executive commits suicide within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the insurance company denies coverage for material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on any application for life insurance purchased by the Bank.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT made this 17 th day of June, 2008, by and between THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF MARYSVILLE and its successors ( hereinafter referred to as “BANK”), with principal offices at 101 Lincoln Street, Marysville, Pennsylvania, 17053 and PAUL B. ZWALLY, a Pennsylvania resident residing at 4439 Augusta Drive, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17112 (hereinafter referred to as “EXECUTIVE”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the Executive has accepted the position of  Senior Vice President, Chief Loan Officer; and

 

WHEREAS, retention of the Executive’s services for and on behalf of the Bank is of material importance to the preservation and enhancement of the value of the Bank’s business;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth below, the Bank and the Executive agree as follows:

 

I.  TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

 

I.1  The Bank hereby employs the Executive as Senior Vice President, Chief Loan Officer as set forth below, and Executive hereby accepts this employment and agrees to render such services to the Bank on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be for a one (1) year period (the “Employment Period”) beginning on June 17, 2008, and if not previously terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall end on June 17, 2009 (the “Initial Term”).  The Employment Period shall be extended automatically for one (1) additional year on the first anniversary date of this agreement (“Renewal Date”), and then on each anniversary of the Renewal Date of this Agreement thereafter, unless Bank or Executive gives contrary written notice to the other sixty (60) days before the anniversary of the Renewal Date.  If notice had not been previously given as provided in this Section I.1, the Employment Period shall continue for a one (1) year period thereafter.  References in the Agreement to “Employment Period” shall refer to the Initial Term of this Agreement and any extensions to the Initial Term.  It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement be “Evergreen” unless (i) either party gives written notice to the other party of his or its intention not to renew this Agreement as provided above or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section VI of this Agreement.

 

I.2  During the term of this Agreement the Executive shall perform such executive services for the Bank as are consistent with his title and as are assigned to him by the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer or the President of the Bank.

 



 

I.3  During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall devote his best efforts, including such portion of his time and effort to the affairs and business of the Bank.

 

I.4  The services of Executive shall be rendered principally in Pennsylvania, but he shall do such traveling on behalf of the Bank as may be reasonably required.

 

II.  COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES

 

Executive agrees that during the term of his employment except with the express consent of the Chief Executive Officer or the President, he will not, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in, become a director of, or render advisory or other services for, or make any financial investment in any firm, corporation, business entity or business enterprise competitive with the First National Bank of Marysville or its parent or any of their successors; provided, however, that Executive shall not thereby be precluded or prohibited from owning passive investments, including investments in the securities of other financial institutions, so long as such ownership does not require him to devote substantial time to management or control of the business or activities in which he has invested.

 

III.  COMPENSATION

 

The Bank will compensate Executive for Executive’s services during the term of the Agreement at an Annual Base Salary of One Hundred Fifteen Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($115,000.00) per year, payable at the same times as salaries are payable to other executive employees.  Bank may from time to time increase Executive’s Annual Base Salary, and any and all such increases shall be deemed to constitute amendments to this Section to reflect the increased amounts.

 

IV.  PARTICIPATION IN RETIREMENT AND MEDICAL PLANS,
LIFE INSURANCE AND DISABILITY

 

IV.1  Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plan of the Bank relating to pension, profit-sharing or other retirement benefits and health or medical coverage or reimbursement plans that the Bank may adopt for the benefit of its employees.

 

IV.2  In the event the Executive suffers from a Disability as defined in Section IV.3, he shall nevertheless continue to receive an amount equal to and no greater than 100% of his annual base salary, less amounts payable under any disability plan of the Bank, for the first three months of his disability.  Thereafter, he shall only be entitled to any amount provided for in the Bank’s long-term disability policy in effect at the time of the payments determined therein.

 



 

IV.3  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means the Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months. The Executive will be deemed disabled if the Social Security Administration has determined that he is disabled or if a carrier of any group disability insurance policy provided by the Bank or made available by the Bank to its employees and covering the Executive determines that he is disabled provided that the policy’s definition of disability complies with the definition of disability under Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A.

 

V.  ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

 

V.1  During the term of the Agreement, Executive will be entitled to participate in and receive the benefits of any stock option, profit sharing, or other plan, benefit or privilege given to employees and executives of the Bank or its subsidiaries and affiliates which may come into existence hereafter, to the extent commensurate with his duties and responsibilities, as fixed by the Bank’s Board of Directors or any committee of such Board or of the Bank selected for such purpose.  To the extent Executive is otherwise eligible and qualifies, he shall participate in and receive such benefits or privileges. The Bank shall not make any changes in such plans, benefits or privileges which would adversely affect Executive’s rights or benefits, unless such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to all executive officers of the Bank and does not result in a proportionately greater adverse change in the rights or benefits to Executive as compared with any other executive officer of the Bank.  Nothing paid to Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed to be in lieu of the salary payable to Executive pursuant to Section  III.

 

V.2  For services performed by Executive under this Agreement, Bank has established a bonus program for Executive which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The payment of any such bonuses shall not reduce or otherwise affect any other obligation of Bank to Executive provided for in this Agreement.

 

V.3.  During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for his monthly membership dues to a country club of his choice in the approximate annual amount of $5,000.

 

VI. TERMINATION

 

VI.1  In the event Executive’s employment is terminated, Executive’s right to compensation and other benefits under this agreement shall be as set forth hereinafter in this Section VI. In the event the Executive is terminated in a manner which violates the provisions of this Agreement, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Bank shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs, including attorney’s fees in challenging such termination.  Such reimbursement shall be in addition to all rights to which the Executive is otherwise entitled under this Agreement.

 



 

VI.2  Executive may terminate his employment upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Board of Directors.

 

VI.3  (a)  If a change in control (hereinafter referred to as “CIC”) of the Bank shall occur, as defined in VI.3 (b), and without Executive’s express written consent, thereafter, there shall be:

 

(i)  an involuntary termination of Executive without Cause as defined in Section VI.8;

 

(ii)  an assignment to Executive of duties inconsistent with Executive’s position, duties, responsibilities and status with the Bank immediately prior to a CIC;

 

(iii)  a change in Executive’s reporting responsibilities, titles or offices in effect immediately prior to a CIC of the Bank, including any removal of the Executive from, or any failure to reelect Executive to any of such positions, except in connection with a termination for disability or retirement;

 

(iv)  a reduction by the Bank in Executive’s annual salary in effect immediately prior to a CIC or as the same may be increased from time to time; or

 

(v)  the failure of the Bank to continue in effect any bonus, benefit or compensation plan, life insurance plan, health and accident plan or disability plan in which the Executive is participating at the time of a CIC of the Bank, or the taking of any action by Bank which would adversely affect Executive’s participation in or materially reduce Executive’s benefits under any of such plans;

 

then at the option of the Executive, exercisable by Executive within twelve (12) months of the Change in Control or occurrence of the foregoing events, Executive may resign from employment with Bank ( or in the case of an involuntary termination), give notice (“Notice of Termination”) to collect benefits under this Agreement by delivering written notice to Bank and the provisions of Section VI.4 of this Agreement shall apply.

 

(b)  For purposes of this Agreement, the definition of a CIC of the Bank shall mean

 

(1)(a)  a merger, consolidation or division involving Bank or its parent company, (b) a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of Bank, or (c) a purchase by Bank of substantially all of the assets of another entity, unless such merger, consolidation, division, sale, exchange, transfer, purchase or disposition a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the legal entity resulting from or existing after any such transaction and of the Board of Directors of such entity’s parent corporation, if any, are former members of the Board of Directors of Bank; or

 

(2)  any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), other than Bank or any “person” who on the date hereof is a director or officer of Bank is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Bank or its parent company representing thirty five

 



 

(35%) percent or more of the combined voting power of Bank’s or its parent company’s then outstanding securities; or

 

(3)  during any period of one (1) year during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of Bank cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election of each director who was not a director at the beginning of such period has been approved in advance by directors representing at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

 

Notwithstanding b(1), (2), or (3) or any  other provision above, the consolidation of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and HNB Bancorp, Inc, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation dated on or about June 18, 2008 between First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and HNB Bancorp, Inc. shall not constitute a change in control under this Section or this Agreement.

 

VI.4.  In the event that Executive delivers a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section VI.3  of this Agreement) to Bank, Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits set forth below:

 

If a “Change in Control” (as defined in Section VI.3.(b) of this Agreement) has also occurred, Bank shall pay Executive a lump sum amount equal to 1.0 times Executive’s Annual Compensation minus applicable taxes and withholdings. For purposes of this paragraph, Annual Compensation shall be defined as Executive’s Annual Base Salary plus the highest bonus received within the previous two years plus the amount which Bank pays for employee benefits for Executive for a one year period.   In addition, Bank shall reimburse Executive for his and his family’s COBRA premiums until the earlier of (a) Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA benefits or (b) one year.  However, in the event the payment described herein, when added to all other amounts or benefits provided to or on behalf of the Executive in connection with his termination of employment, would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, Bank will pay to Executive an additional cash payment (“Gross-up Payment”) in an amount such that the after-tax proceeds of such Gross-up Payment (including any income tax or Excise Tax on such Gross-up Payment) will be equal to the amount of the Excise Tax.

 

VI.5.  If Executive’s employment with Bank is terminated by Bank for any reason other than Cause as defined in Section VI.8, then Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to a lump sum amount equal to 1.0 times Executive’s Annual Compensation minus applicable taxes and withholdings. For purposes of this paragraph, Annual Compensation shall be defined as Executive’s Annual Base Salary plus the highest bonus received within the previous two years plus the amount which Bank pays for employee benefits for Executive for a one year period.   In addition, Bank shall reimburse Executive for his and his family’s COBRA premiums until the earlier of (a) Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA benefits or (b) one year.  However, in the event the payment described herein,

 



 

when added to all other amounts or benefits provided to or on behalf of the Executive in connection with his termination of employment, would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, Bank will pay to Executive an additional cash payment (“Gross-up Payment”) in an amount such that the after-tax proceeds of such Gross-up Payment (including any income tax or Excise Tax on such Gross-up Payment) will be equal to the amount of the Excise Tax.

 

VI.6  If Executive’s employment with Bank is terminated pursuant to the nonrenewal provisions of Section I.1 of this Agreement, then Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to a lump sum amount equal to six (6) months of Executive’s Annual Compensation as defined in Section VI.5 minus applicable taxes and withholdings.

 

VI.7  Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Bank or by the Executive shall be communicated by written notice of termination to the other party by means of United States certified mail return receipt requested pursuant to Section VII.3 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “notice of termination” shall mean a dated notice which shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in the Agreement relied upon; (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated; and (iii) specify a date of termination, which shall not be less than thirty nor more than ninety days after such notice of termination.

 

VI.8.  Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment period provided for in Sections VI.4 or VI.5 if he is seeking other employment.

 

VI.9  Termination for Cause. The Board of Directors of the Bank may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for cause. For purposes of this agreement “cause” includes,

 

(i)  the Executive’s failure to perform or to comply with any term or provision of    this Agreement;

 

(ii)  the Executive’s failure to perform or to comply fully with any lawful directive of the Bank’s Board of Directors or of any duly constituted committee thereof;

 

(iii) Executive’s violation of Bank’s EBO policy;  or

 

(iv)  Executive’s removal from office or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a final order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) or 8(g) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or by the Comptroller of the Currency pursuant to national law.

 

VI.10.  In the event that Executive is terminated for “Cause” as defined in Section VI.8,  all obligations of Bank under this Agreement shall terminate.

 

VI.11  Notwithstanding any other provision, in the event that Executive is determined to be a specified employee (“key employee”) as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code, no payment that is determined to be deferred compensation

 



 

subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made until one day following six months from the date of separation of service as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code.

 

VII MISCELLANEOUS

 

VII.1  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this agreement, the payment or obligation to pay monies or granting of any rights or privileges to Executive as provided in this Agreement shall not be in lieu or derogation of the rights and privileges that Executive now has under any plan or benefit presently outstanding.

 

VII.2  This Agreement may not be modified, changed, amended, extended, or altered except in writing signed by the Executive or by his duly authorized representative, and by a duly authorized officer of the Bank.

 

VII.3  All notices given or required to be given shall be in writing, sent by United States certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to Executive (or to Executive’s spouse or estate upon Executive’s death) at Executive’s last known address, and to the Bank at its principal office. All such notices shall be effective when deposited in the mail in the manner specified in this Section VII.3. Either party by written notice may change or designate the place for receipt of all such notices.

 

VIII. SUCCESSORS, ETC.

 

VIII.1  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Executive, and, to the extent applicable, his heirs, assigns, executors, and personal representatives and the Bank, its successors, and assigns, including, without limitation, any person, partnership, or corporation which may acquire all or substantially all of the Bank’s assets and business, or with or into which the Bank or its parent may be consolidated or merged. This provision shall apply in the event of any subsequent merger, consolidation, or transfer.

 

VIII.2 This Agreement is personal to each of the parties and neither party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except this provision will not apply to the Bank or its parent in the event of a change in control.

 

IX APPLICABLE LAW.

 

This Agreement shall be governed in all respects and be interpreted by and under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent that such law may be preempted by applicable federal law, in which event this Agreement shall be governed and interpreted by and under federal law. This Agreement shall also be interpreted as is minimally required to qualify any payment hereunder as not triggering any penalty on the

 



 

Executive or the Bank pursuant to Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

X. SEVERABILITY

 

If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions nevertheless shall continue in full force and effect.

 

XI ARBITRATION

 

Each party agrees that all disputes, disagreements and questions of interpretation concerning this Agreement (except the question of Executive’s disability which is governed in Section IV), are to be submitted for resolution, in Marysville, Pennsylvania, to the American Arbitration Association (the “Association”) in accordance with the Association’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or other applicable rules then in effect (“Rules”).  Bank or Executive may initiate an arbitration proceeding at any time by giving notice to the other in accordance with the Rules.  Bank and Executive may, as a matter of right, mutually agree on the appointment of a particular arbitrator from the Association’s pool.  The arbitrator shall not be bound by the rules of evidence and procedure of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania but shall be bound by the substantive law applicable to this Agreement.  The decision of the arbitrator, absent fraud, duress, incompetence or gross and obvious error of fact, shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be enforceable in courts of proper jurisdiction.  Following written notice of a request for arbitration, Bank and Executive shall be entitled to an injunction restraining all further proceedings in any pending or subsequently filed litigation concerning this Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the Executive has accepted the position of Chief Financial Officer; and

IV.3  For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means the Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months. The Executive will be deemed disabled if the Social Security Administration has determined that he is disabled or if a carrier of any group disability insurance policy provided by the Bank or made available by the Bank to its employees and covering the Executive determines that he is disabled provided that the policy’s definition of disability complies with the definition of disability under Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 409A.

The Bank shall not make any changes in such plans, benefits or privileges which would adversely affect Executive’s rights or benefits, unless such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to all executive officers of the Bank and does not result in a proportionately greater adverse change in the rights or benefits to Executive as compared with any other executive officer of the Bank.  Nothing paid to Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed to be in lieu of the salary payable to Executive pursuant to Section  III.

 

V.2  For services performed by Executive under this Agreement, Bank has established a bonus program for Executive which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The payment of any such bonuses shall not reduce or otherwise affect any other obligation of Bank to Executive provided for in this Agreement.

 

VI. TERMINATION

 

VI.1  In the event Executive’s employment is terminated, Executive’s right to compensation and other benefits under this agreement shall be as set forth hereinafter in this Section VI.

(v)  the failure of the Bank to continue in effect any bonus, benefit or compensation plan, life insurance plan, health and accident plan or disability plan in which the Executive is participating at the time of a CIC of the Bank, or the taking of any action by Bank which would adversely affect Executive’s participation in or materially reduce Executive’s benefits under any of such plans; then at the option of the Executive, exercisable by Executive within twelve (12) months of the CIC  or occurrence of the foregoing events, Executive may resign from employment with Bank (or in the case of an involuntary termination), give notice (“Notice of Termination”) to collect benefits under this Agreement by delivering written notice to Bank and the provisions of Section VI.4 of this Agreement shall apply.

 

(b)  For purposes of this Agreement, the definition of a CIC of the Bank shall mean
