Item 1. Business General
The Corporation
The registrant, Farmers National Banc Corp. (herein sometimes referred to as the Corporation), is a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The only subsidiary is The Farmers National Bank of Canfield (the Bank). The Corporation was formed in 1983 to acquire the shares of the Bank. The Corporation and its subsidiary operate in one industry, domestic banking.
The Corporation conducts no business activities except for investment in securities permitted under the Bank Holding Company Act. Bank holding companies are permitted under Regulation Y of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to engage in other activities such as leasing and mortgage banking.
The Bank
The Bank is a full-service national bank engaged in commercial and retail banking in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana Counties in Ohio. The Bank’s commercial and retail banking services include checking accounts, savings accounts, time deposit accounts, commercial, mortgage and installment loans, home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, night depository, safe deposit boxes, money orders, bank checks, automated teller machines, internet banking, travel cards, “E” Bond transactions, utility bill payments, MasterCard and Visa credit cards, brokerage services and other miscellaneous services normally offered by commercial banks.
The Bank faces significant competition in offering financial services to customers. Ohio has a high density of financial institution offices, many of which are branches of significantly larger institutions that have greater financial resources than the Bank, and all of which are competitors to varying degrees. Competition for loans comes principally from savings banks, savings and loan associations, commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, insurance companies and other financial service companies. The most direct competition for deposits has historically come from savings and loan associations, savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions. Additional competition for deposits comes from non-depository competitors such as the mutual fund industry, securities and brokerage firms and insurance companies.
The Corporation had 274 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2007.
The Bank’s internet site, www.fnbcanfield.com contains an Investor Relations section which provides a hyperlink to the SEC where the Corporation’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements, director and Officer Reports on Form(s) 3, 4, and 5 and amendments to those documents filed or furnished pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after the Corporation has filed these documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In addition, the Corporation’s filings with the SEC may be read and copied at the SEC Public Reference Room at 100 F. Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. These filings are also available on the SEC’s web-site at www.sec.gov free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after the Corporation has filed the above referenced reports.
Supervision and Regulation
The Corporation is regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank (the “FRB”). The Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), as well as the Federal Deposit
Item 1 (Continued)
Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). A listing of the minimum regulatory requirements for capital and the Corporation’s capital position as of December 31, 2007 are presented in Note J on page 30 of the annual report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2007 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
The Corporation is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. This Act restricts the geographic and product range of bank holding companies by defining the types and locations of institutions the holding companies can own or acquire. This act also regulates transactions between the Corporation and the Bank and generally prohibits tie-ins between credit and other products and services.
The Bank is subject to regulation under the National Banking Act and is periodically examined by the OCC and is subject to the rules and regulations of the FRB. As an insured institution and member of the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”), the Bank is also subject to regulation by the FDIC. Establishment of branches is subject to approval of the OCC and geographic limits established by state law. Ohio branch banking law permits a bank having its principal place of business in the state to establish branch offices in any county in Ohio without geographic restrictions.
FDICIA
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and several other federal banking statutes. Among other things, FDICIA requires federal banking agencies to broaden the scope of corrective action taken with respect to banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements and to take such actions promptly in order to minimize losses to the FDIC.
FDICIA established five capital tiers: “well capitalized”; “adequately capitalized”; “undercapitalized”; “significantly undercapitalized”; and “critically undercapitalized” and imposes significant restrictions on the operations of a depository institution that is not in either of the first two of such categories. A depository institution’s capital tier depends upon the relationship of its capital to various capital measures. A depository institution is deemed to be “well capitalized” if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure, “adequately capitalized” if it meets each such measure, “undercapitalized” if it is significantly below any such measure and “critically undercapitalized” if it fails to meet any critical capital level set forth in regulations. An institution is deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating or is deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound condition or to be engaging in unsafe or unsound practices.
Under regulations adopted under these provisions, for an institution to be well capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to any specific capital order or directive. For an institution to be adequately capitalized, it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 4% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 4% (or in some cases 3%). Under the regulations, an institution is deemed to be undercapitalized if the bank has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4% or a Tier I leverage ratio of less than 4% (or in some cases 3%). An institution is deemed to be significantly undercapitalized if the bank has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% and is deemed to be critically undercapitalized if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.
Item 1 (Continued)
Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “IBBEA”) authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic constraint. The IBBEA also authorized banks to merge with banks located in another state.
After acquiring interstate branches through a merger, a bank may establish additional branches in that state at the same locations as any bank involved in the merger could have established branches under state and federal law. In addition, a bank may establish a de novo branch in another state that expressly permits the establishment of such branches. A bank that establishes a de novo interstate branch may thereafter establish additional branches on the same basis as a bank that has established interstate branches through a merger transaction.
GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) allows new opportunities for banks, other depository institutions, insurance companies and securities firms to combine to form a single financial services organization to offer customers a broader choice of financial products and services. The GLB Act authorized the Federal Reserve Board to oversee all regulatory activities through the financial holding company, while the functional regulation of operating subsidiaries remains with their primary functional regulator. The GLB Act requires institutions to maintain Community Reinvestment Act ratings of satisfactory or higher in order to engage in any new financial activities. This act also established a federal right to privacy of non-public personal information of individual customers.
SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. Section 302(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley requires the Corporation’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer to certify that the Corporation’s Quarterly and Annual Reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to the Corporation’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about the Corporation’s internal controls; and they have included information in the Corporation’s Quarterly and Annual Reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in the Corporation’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.
Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Changes in interest rates could adversely affect income and financial condition.
The Corporation’s income and cash flow depends to a great extent on the difference between the interest earned on loans and investment securities, and the interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rates are beyond the Corporation’s control, and they fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, will influence the origination of loans, the purchase of investments, the generation of deposits and the rates received on loans and investment securities and paid on deposits.
Changes in economic and political conditions could adversely affect the Corporation’s earnings.
Our success depends, to a certain extent, upon economic and political conditions, local and national, as well as governmental monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession,
Item 1A (Continued)
unemployment, changes in interest rates, money supply and other factors beyond our control may
adversely affect our asset quality, deposit levels and loan demand and, therefore, our earnings.
Strong competition within the market the Bank operates could reduce our ability to attract and retain business.
In our market, we encounter significant competition from banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage banks and other financial service companies. As a result of their size and ability to achieve economies of scale, some of our competitors offer a broader range of products and services than we can offer. Our ability to maintain our history of strong financial performance and return on investment to shareholders will depend in part on our continued ability to compete successfully in our market. Financial performance and return on investment to shareholders will also depend on its ability to expand its scope of available financial services to its customers. In addition to other banks, competitors include securities dealers, brokers, investment advisors, and finance and insurance companies. The increasingly competitive environment is, in part, a result of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems, and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers.
Our business may be adversely affected by downturns in the local economy.
Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on our earnings. In addition, substantially all of our loans are to individuals and businesses in Ohio. Consequently, a significant decline in the economy in Ohio could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to operational risk.
Similar to any large organization, we are exposed to many types of operational risk, including reputational risk, legal and compliance risk, the risk of fraud or theft by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees or operational errors, including clerical or record-keeping errors or those resulting from faulty or disabled computer or telecommunications systems.
Negative public opinion can result from our actual or alleged conduct in any number of activities, including lending practices, corporate governance and acquisitions and from actions taken by government regulators and community organizations in response to those activities. Negative public opinion can adversely affect our ability to attract and keep customers and can expose us to litigation and regulatory action.
Given the volume of transactions we process, certain errors may be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and successfully rectified. Our necessary dependence upon automated systems to record and process our transaction volume may further increase the risk that technical system flaws or employee tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses that are difficult to detect. We may also be subject to disruptions of our operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control (for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunications outages), which may give rise to disruption of service to customers and to financial loss of liability. We are further exposed to the risk that our external vendors may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective employees as we are) and to the risk that our (or our vendors’) business continuity and data security systems prove to be inadequate.
Item 1A (Continued)
Legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant litigation, could adversely impact us or the businesses in which we are engaged.
The financial services industry is extensively regulated. We are subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern almost all aspects of our operations. Laws and regulations may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors and the deposit insurance funds, and not to benefit our shareholders. The impact of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may negatively impact us or our ability to increase the value of our business. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of an institution, the classification of assets by the institution and the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses. Additionally, actions by regulatory agencies or significant litigation against us could cause us to devote significant time and resources to defending our business and may lead to penalties that materially affect us and our shareholders.
Proposals to change the laws governing financial institutions are frequently raised in Congress and before bank regulatory authorities. It is impossible to predict the ultimate form any proposed legislation might take or how it might affect us. Future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations or enforcement could be materially adverse to our business and our shareholders.
We may be a defendant from time to time in the future in a variety of litigation and other actions, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
We and our subsidiaries may be involved from time to time in the future in a variety of litigation arising out of our business. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and any claims asserted against us, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, may harm our reputation. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements in any litigation exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation. In addition, we may not be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future, nor may we be able to obtain adequate replacement policies with acceptable terms, if at all.
We extend credit to a variety of customers based on internally set standards and judgment. We manage the credit risk through a program of underwriting standards, the review of certain credit decisions and an on-going process of assessment of the quality of the credit already extended. Our credit standards and on-going process of credit assessment might not protect us from significant credit losses.
We take credit risk by virtue of making loans and leases, extending loan commitments and letters of credit and, to a lesser degree, purchasing non-governmental securities.
Our exposure to credit risk is managed through the use of consistent underwriting standards that emphasize “in-market” lending while avoiding highly leveraged transactions as well as excessive industry and other concentrations. Our credit administration function employs risk management techniques to ensure that loans and leases adhere to corporate policy and problem loans and leases are promptly identified. While these procedures are designed to provide us with the information needed to implement policy adjustments where necessary, and to take proactive corrective actions, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective in avoiding undue credit risk.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were no disagreements between the Corporation and Crowe Chizek and Company LLC (“Crowe Chizek”) on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Crowe Chizek’s satisfaction, would have caused Crowe Chizek to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements for such periods.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the financial and nonfinancial information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including this annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Management’s responsibilities related to establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures include maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As disclosed in the Report on Management’s Assessment of
Item 9A (Continued)
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting on page 16 of our 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders, management assessed the Corporation’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Crowe Chizek and Company LLC, the corporation’s registered public accounting firm, has audited the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The attestation report by Crowe Chizek and Company LLC is located on page 17 of our 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders.
There have been no significant changes in the Corporation’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation or material weaknesses in such internal controls requiring corrective actions. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.
Item 9B. Other Information
During 2007, the Corporation recorded a non-operating after-tax charge of $576 thousand representing a reclassification and recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment of securities. The charge is directly related to $2.7 million of Fannie Mae Series F preferred stock that is held in the Securities portfolio. In mid November, Fannie Mae went to the markets with two new preferred share offerings carrying higher dividend rates that appear to have caused the market prices of the other Fannie Mae preferred stock issues, including the issue held by the Corporation, to decrease in current market value. Due to this sudden drop in value and uncertainty of future market conditions surrounding Fannie Mae, management has determined that this decrease is other-than-temporary and felt it prudent to recognize the non-cash after-tax charge of $576 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2007.
