**PART I**

 

**ITEM 1****. BUSINESS.**

 

The disclosures set forth in this Item are qualified by the section captioned “Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained in Part II, Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report and other cautionary statements are set forth elsewhere in this report.

 

**Riverview Financial Corporation**

 

Riverview Financial Corporation (“Riverview”) is a one bank holding company, incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on December 31, 2008 and is headquartered in Halifax, Pennsylvania.

 

Riverview was formed upon the consolidation of First Perry Bancorp, Inc., Marysville, Pennsylvania, and HNB Bancorp, Inc., Halifax, Pennsylvania.  Riverview is a registered bank holding company and currently its sole business is to act as a holding company for Riverview National Bank (“the Bank”).

 

**Riverview National Bank**

 

Riverview National Bank was formed upon the consolidation of the charters of The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank on December 31, 2008 and is headquartered in Marysville, Pennsylvania.  After the consolidation, the branches of The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank continue to operate under their current names as divisions of Riverview National Bank.

 

The Bank is a full service commercial bank providing a wide range of services to individuals and small to medium sized businesses in its Central Pennsylvania market area of Perry, Cumberland, Dauphin and Schuylkill counties.  The Bank’s commercial banking activities include accepting time, demand, and savings deposits and making secured and unsecured commercial, real estate and consumer loans.

 

On March 14, 2011, Riverview National Bank filed an application with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking to convert from a national banking association to a Pennsylvania state-chartered bank.  The purpose of the charter change is to provide the Bank with greater flexibility in executing its strategy of profitability and growth.  The conversion is expected to take place during the second or third quarter of 2011, pending regulatory approval.

 

**Supervision and Regulation of Riverview**

 

*The Holding Company Act of 1956. *Riverview is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.  The following restrictions apply:

 

·      *General Supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.*  As a bank holding company, Riverview’s activities are limited to the business of banking and activities closely related or incidental to banking.  Bank holding companies are required to file periodic reports with and are subject to examination by the Federal Reserve Board.  The Federal Reserve Board has adopted a risk-focused supervision program for small shell bank holding companies that is tied to the examination results of the subsidiary bank.  The Federal Reserve Board has issued regulations under the Holding Company Act that require a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks.  As a result, the Federal Reserve Board may require that Riverview stand ready to provide adequate capital funds to the Bank during periods of financial stress or adversity.

Table of Contents

 

·      *Restrictions on Acquiring Control of other Banks and Companies. *A bank holding company may not:

 

·         acquire direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock, or substantially all of the assets of, any bank, or

·         merge or consolidate with another bank holding company,

 

without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board.

 

In addition, a bank holding company may not:

 

·         engage in a non-banking business, or

·         acquire ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock of any company engaged in a non-banking business,

 

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.

 

·      *Anti-Tie-In Provisions. *A bank holding company and its subsidiaries may not engage in tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or provision of any property or services.  These anti-tie-in provisions state that a bank may not:

 

· extend credit,

 

· lease or sell property, or

 

· furnish any service to a customer

 

on the condition that the customer provides additional credit or service to a bank or its affiliates, or on the condition that the customer does not obtain other credit or service from a competitor of the bank.

 

·      *Restrictions on Extensions of Credit by Banks to their Holding Companies. *Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are also subject to restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on:

 

· any extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries,

 

· investments in the stock or other securities of the corporation, and

 

· taking these stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower.

 

·      *Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. *Generally, bank holding companies must comply with the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines.  However, small bank holding companies are sometimes eligible for certain exemptions.  The required minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets, including some off-balance sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit, is 8%.  At least half of the total capital is required to be Tier I Capital, consisting principally of common stockholders’ equity, less certain intangible assets.  The remainder, Tier II Capital, may consist of:

 

· some types of preferred stock,

 

· a limited amount of subordinated debt,

 

· some hybrid capital instruments,

Table of Contents

 

· other debt securities, and

 

· a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance.

 

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

 

·      *Capital Leverage Ratio Requirements. *The Federal Reserve Board requires a bank holding company to maintain a leverage ratio of a minimum level of Tier I capital, as determined under the risk-based capital guidelines, equal to 3% of average total consolidated assets for those bank holding companies that have the highest regulatory examination rating and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion.  All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum.  Riverview National Bank is subject to similar capital requirements pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

 

·      *Restrictions on Control Changes. *The Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 requires persons seeking control of a bank or bank holding company to obtain approval from the appropriate federal banking agency before completing the transaction.  The law contains a presumption that the power to vote 10% or more of voting stock confers control of a bank or bank holding company.  The Federal Reserve Board is responsible for reviewing changes in control of bank holding companies.  In doing so, the Federal Reserve Board reviews the financial position, experience and integrity of the acquiring person and the effect on the financial condition of the corporation, relevant markets and federal deposit insurance funds.

 

*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 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) 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 was registered with the SEC, they were not subject to the 1934 Act.  However, Riverview is subject to the 1934 Act.

 

*Permitted Activities for Bank Holding Companies*

 

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:

 

·      Making, acquiring or servicing loans and other extensions of credit for its own account or for the account of others.

 

·      Any activity used in connection with making, acquiring, brokering, or servicing loans or other extensions of credit, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.  The Federal Reserve Board has determined that the following activities are permissible:

 

·                  real estate and personal property appraising;

*Permitted Activities for Financial Holding Companies*

 

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:

 

· lending and deposit activities,

 

· insurance activities, including underwriting, agency and brokerage,

 

· providing financial investment advisory services,

 

· underwriting in, and acting as a broker or dealer in, securities,

 

· merchant banking, and

 

· insurance company portfolio investment.

 

Riverview has not chosen to become a financial holding company at this time.

**Supervision and Regulation of Riverview National Bank**

 

*General Overview*

 

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 the 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 the Bank.  A change in law, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on the Bank’s business.

 

The operations of the Bank are 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.  The Bank’s operations are subject to regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC.

 

*Safety and Soundness*

 

The primary regulator for the Bank is 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.

 

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

 

· Scope of a bank’s business

 

· Investments a bank may make

 

· Reserves that must be maintained against certain deposits

 

· Loans a bank makes and collateral it takes

 

· Merger and consolidation activities

 

· Establishment of branches

 

The Bank is 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 the Bank’s operations including:

 

· Loan and deposit growth

 

· Rate of interest earned and paid

 

· Levels of liquidity

 

· Levels of required capital

 

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

*FDIC Insurance Legislation*

 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) imposes an assessment against financial institutions for deposit insurance.  This assessment is based on 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 FDIC’s risk-based system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors, with less risky institutions paying lower assessments on their deposits.   For purposes of calculating the insurance assessment, the Bank is considered to be well capitalized.  Currently, most banks are in the best risk category and pay anywhere from 12 to 14 cents per $100 of deposits for insurance.  Under the final rule, banks in this category pay initial base rates ranging from 12 to 16 cents per $100 of deposits on an annual basis beginning April 1, 2009.

 

On June 30, 2009, the FDIC imposed a 5 basis point emergency special assessment on the banking industry, where this special assessment was required to be accrued during the second quarter of 2009 and paid on September 30, 2009.  All FDIC insured financial institutions were required to pay this special assessment.

 

On November 12, 2009 the FDIC approved a final rule requiring banks to prepay on December 30, 2009 their estimated quarterly assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, as well as all of 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The assessment rate that was used for the entire period was the Bank’s base assessment rate that was in effect as of September 30, 2009.  The rate will be increased by 3 basis points for all of 2011 and 2012 based on the FDIC’s expectation that industry earnings will be stronger.  Each institution recorded the entire amount of its prepaid assessment as a prepaid expense (asset) as of December 31, 2009.  As of December 31, 2009, and each quarter thereafter, each institution records an expense (charge to earnings) for its regular quarterly assessment for the quarter and an offsetting credit to the prepaid assessment until the asset is exhausted.  Once the asset is exhausted, the institution will record an accrued expense payable each quarter for the assessment payment, which will be paid in arrears to the FDIC at the end of the following quarter.  If the prepaid assessment is not exhausted by December 31, 2014, any remaining amount will be returned to the depository institution.

 

In November 2010, the FDIC Board issued a proposed rule that would change the assessment base from adjusted domestic deposits to a bank’s average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity (defined as Tier 1 capital), as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.  In addition, the FDIC proposal also would lower assessment rates to between 2.5 and 9 basis points on the broader base for banks in the lower risk category, and 30 to 45 basis points in the highest risk category.  Separately, the FDIC Board also issued a revised proposal that would create a scorecard-based assessment rate for banks with more than $10 billion in assets and for large, highly complex institutions.  None of these proposals have been finalized but continue to be under consideration.

 

On December 14, 2010, the Board of Directors of the FDIC adopted a final rule to set the Deposit Insurance Fund’s long-term designated reserve ratio (“DRR”) at two percent of estimated insured deposits.  The decision to set the DRR at two percent was based on an historical analysis of losses to the insurance fund.  The analysis showed in order to maintain a positive fund balance and steady, predictable assessment rates, the reserve ratio must be at least two percent as a long-term minimum goal.  The FDIC set the DRR according to the following factors: risk of loss to the insurance fund; economic conditions affecting the banking industry; preventing sharp swings in the assessment rates; and any other factors it deemed important.  Previously, federal law required that the designated reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund should be at 1.15% to 1.50% of estimated insured deposits.

 

*FDIC Insurance*

 

As a member institution of the FDIC, deposit accounts at the bank were insured generally up to a maximum of $100,000 for each separately insured depositor, and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-

directed retirement accounts.  In 2009, the FDIC increased the deposit insurance available on all deposit accounts to $250,000, effective until December 31, 2013.  On November 9, 2010, the FDIC Board approved a final rule that will implement unlimited deposit insurance coverage on non-interest bearing transaction accounts beginning on December 31, 2010 and ending December 31, 2012, as mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act.  This is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.

 

*Community Reinvestment Act*

 

All FDIC insured institutions have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.  The OCC, which is a governmental agency that overviews national banks, 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.  A financial institution’s failure to comply with the CRA provisions could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on its activities including:

 

· Approval of a new branch or other deposit facility

 

· Closing of a branch or other deposit facility

 

· An office relocation or a merger

 

· Any acquisition of bank shares

 

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 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.

 

*Payment of Dividends and Other Restrictions*

 

Dividends are paid by Riverview from its earnings, which are mainly provided by dividends from the Bank.  However, certain regulatory restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Corporation in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.  The approval of the OCC is required if the total of all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceeds the Bank’s net profits for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years.  Under this restriction, at December 31, 2010, the Bank could declare additional dividends of $747,000 to Riverview without prior regulatory approval.

 

*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               |       | >10.0                       |       | >6.0                              |       | >5.0                            |
| Adequately   capitalized         |       | >8.0                        |       | >4.0                              |       | >4.0*                           |
| Undercapitalized                 |       | <8.0                        |       | <4.0                              |       | <4.0*                           |
| Significantly   undercapitalized |       | <6.0                        |       | <3.0                              |       | <3.0                            |
| Critically   undercapitalized    |       |                           |       |                                 |       | <2.0                            |

*                                               3.0 for those banks having the highest available regulatory rating.

 

The 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.

 

*Prompt Corrective Action*

 

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

 

·      Implementation of a capital restoration plan and a guarantee of the plan by a parent institution

 

·      Placement of a hold on increases in assets, number of branches, or lines of business

 

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.

 

*Legislation and Regulatory Changes*

 

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 the Bank’s operations.  Certain changes of potential significance to the Bank that have been enacted recently and others, which are currently under consideration by Congress or various regulatory or professional agencies, are discussed below.

 

*Legislation and Regulations*

 

***USA Patriot Act***

 

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 2001 and was renewed in March 2006.  The USA PATRIOT Act gives the federal government powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing, and broadened anti-money laundering requirements.  By way of amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act, Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act included measures intended to encourage information sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement bodies.  Further, certain provisions of Title III imposed affirmative obligations on a broad range of financial institutions, including banks, thrifts, brokers, dealers, credit unions, money transfer agents and parties registered under the Commodity Exchange Act.

 

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

 

·      Verify the identity of persons applying to open an account

 

·      Ensure adequate maintenance of the records used to verify a person’s identity, and

 

·      Determine whether a person is on any US governmental agency list of known or suspected terrorists or a terrorist organization

Table of Contents

 

The bank regulatory agencies have increased the regulatory scrutiny of the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering programs maintained by financial institutions.  Significant penalties and fines, as well as other supervisory orders may be imposed on a financial institution for non-compliance with these requirements.  In addition, federal bank regulatory agencies must consider the effectiveness of financial institutions engaging in a merger transaction in combating money laundering activities.  The Bank has adopted policies and procedures which are in compliance with these requirements

 

*Multifactor Authentification*

 

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 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.

 

*Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005*

 

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:

 

·      Warn customers about the impact of making only the minimum payment under an open-end consumer credit plan

 

·      Provide a toll free number for consumers to call for information regarding the consequences of making only minimum required payments

 

·      Inform customers that interest attributed to the portion of a home secured loan that exceeds the property’s fair market value is not tax deductible

 

·      Provide new disclosures on solicitations and applications for open-end credit plans containing an introductory rate

 

*Ongoing Legislation*

 

As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the United States, the Bank’s business is 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 the Bank.  The Bank can neither predict if any such legislation will be adopted nor if adopted how it would affect its business.  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.

 

**Recent Developments**

 

**Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.**

 

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) was signed into law.  Dodd-Frank is intended to effect a fundamental restructuring of federal banking

regulation.  Among other things, Dodd-Frank creates a new Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify systemic risks in the financial system and gives federal regulators new authority to take control of and liquidate financial firms.  Dodd-Frank additionally creates a new independent federal regulator to administer federal consumer protection laws.  Dodd-Frank is expected to have a significant impact on our business operations as its provisions take effect.  It is difficult to predict at this time what specific impact Dodd-Frank and the yet to be written implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks.  However, it is expected that at a minimum they will increase our operating and compliance costs and could increase our interest expense.  Among the provisions that are likely to affect us are the following:

 

***Holding Company Capital Requirements.***  Dodd-Frank requires the Federal Reserve to apply consolidated capital requirements to bank holding companies that are no less stringent than those currently applied to depository institutions.  Under these standards, trust preferred securities will be excluded from Tier 1 capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by a bank holding company with less than $15 billion in assets.  Dodd-Frank additionally requires that bank regulators issue countercyclical capital requirements so that the required amount of capital increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction, consistent with safety and soundness.

 

***Deposit Insurance.***  Dodd-Frank permanently increases the maximum deposit insurance amount for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, and extends unlimited deposit insurance to non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012.  Dodd-Frank also broadens the base for FDIC insurance assessments.  Assessments will now be based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution.  Dodd-Frank requires the FDIC to increase the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund from 1.15% to 1.35% of insured deposits by 2020 and eliminates the requirement that the FDIC pay dividends to insured depository institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds certain thresholds.  Effective one year from the date of enactment, Dodd-Frank eliminates the federal statutory prohibition against the payment of interest on business checking accounts.

 

***Corporate Governance. ***Dodd-Frank requires publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation at least every three years, a non-binding vote regarding the frequency of the vote on executive compensation at least every six years, and a non-binding vote on “golden parachute” payments in connection with approvals of mergers and acquisitions unless previously voted on by shareholders.  The SEC has finalized the rules implementing these requirements which took effect on January 21, 2011.  Additionally, Dodd-Frank directs the federal banking regulators to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to executives of depository institutions and their holding companies with assets in excess of $1.0 billion, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded.  Dodd-Frank also gives the SEC authority to prohibit broker discretionary voting on elections of directors and executive compensation matters.

 

***Prohibition Against Charter Conversions of Troubled Institutions.***  Effective one year after enactment, Dodd-Frank prohibits a depository institution from converting from a state to federal charter or vice versa while it is the subject of a cease and desist order or other formal enforcement action or a memorandum of understanding with respect to a significant supervisory matter unless the appropriate federal banking agency gives notice of the conversion to the federal or state authority that issued the enforcement action and that agency does not object within 30 days.  The notice must include a plan to address the significant supervisory matter.  The converting institution must also file a copy of the conversion application with its current federal regulator which must notify the resulting federal regulator of any ongoing supervisory or investigative proceedings that are likely to result in an enforcement action and provide access to all supervisory and investigative information relating thereto.

 

***Interstate Branching.***  Dodd-Frank authorizes national and state banks to establish branches in other states to the same extent as a bank chartered by that state would be permitted.  Previously, banks could only establish branches in other states if the host state expressly permitted out-of-state banks to establish branches in that state.  Accordingly, banks will be able to enter new markets more freely.

***Limits on Interstate Acquisitions and Mergers. ***Dodd-Frank precludes a bank holding company from engaging in an interstate acquisition — the acquisition of a bank outside its home state — unless the bank holding company is both well capitalized and well managed.  Furthermore, a bank may not engage in an interstate merger with another bank headquartered in another state unless the surviving institution will be well capitalized and well managed.  The previous standard in both cases was adequately capitalized and adequately managed.

 

***Limits on Interchange Fees.***  Dodd-Frank amends the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.

 

***Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.***  Dodd-Frank creates a new, independent federal agency called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which is granted broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Truth in Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Act, the Consumer Financial Privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and certain other statutes.  The CFPB will have examination and primary enforcement authority with respect to depository institutions with $10 billion or more in assets.  Smaller institutions will be subject to rules promulgated by the CFPB but will continue to be examined and supervised by federal banking regulators for consumer compliance purposes.  The CFPB will have authority to prevent unfair, deceptive or abusive practices in connection with the offering of consumer financial products.  Dodd-Frank authorizes the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages including a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay.  In addition, Dodd-Frank will allow borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure if they receive any loan other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined by the CFPB.  Dodd-Frank permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and standards that are more stringent than those adopted at the federal level and, in certain circumstances, permits state attorneys general to enforce compliance with both the state and federal laws and regulations.

 

**Small Business Jobs Act**

 

The Small Business Jobs Act was signed into law on September 27, 2010, which creates a $30 billion Small Business Lending Fund (the “Fund”) to provide community banks with capital to increase small business lending.  Generally, bank holding companies with assets equal to or less than $10 billion are eligible to apply for and receive a capital investment from the Fund in an amount equal to 3-5% of its risk-weighted assets.

 

The capital investment will take the form of preferred stock carrying a 5% dividend which has the potential to decrease to as low as 1% if the participant sufficiently increases its small business lending within the first two and one-half years.  If the participant does not increase its small business lending at least 2.5% in the first two and one-half years, the dividend rate will increase to 7%.  After four and one-half years, the dividend will increase to 9% regardless of the participant’s small business lending.  The deadline to apply to receive capital under the fund is March 31, 2011.  Whether the Fund will help spur the economy by increasing small business lending or strengthening the capital position of community banks is uncertain.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of Riverview’s consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Riverview and Notes thereto and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

 

The consolidated financial statements include Riverview and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview National Bank.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The accounting and reporting policies followed by Riverview conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets and results of operations for the periods indicated.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Riverview’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  The most significant accounting policies followed by Riverview are presented in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements.  Note 1 presents significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements.  This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of Riverview and its results of operations.  Riverview 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, valuation of its securities, goodwill and other intangible assets and accounting for income taxes.

 

Riverview performs periodic and systematic detailed reviews of its loan portfolio to assess overall collectability.  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 commercial real estate loans.  These loans are normally larger and more complex, and their collection rates are harder to predict.  Personal loans, including personal mortgage and other consumer loans, are individually smaller and perform in a more homogenous manner, making loss estimates more predictable.

 

Riverview records its available for sale securities at fair value.  Fair value of these securities is determined based on methodologies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Fair values are volatile and may be influenced by a number of factors, including market conditions, discount rates, credit ratings and yield curves.  Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values used are based on the quoted prices of similar instruments or an estimate of fair value by using a range of fair value estimates in the marketplace as a result of the illiquid market specific to the type of security.

 

When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, and depending on the length of time the condition exists and the extent the fair value is below amortized cost, additional analysis is performed to determine whether an other than temporary impairment condition exists.  Available for sale securities are analyzed quarterly for possible other than temporary impairment.  The analysis considers (i) whether the bank has the intent to sell the securities prior to recovery and/or maturity and (ii) whether it is more likely than not that the bank will have to sell the securities prior to recovery and/or maturity.  Often, the information available to conduct these assessments is limited and rapidly changing, making estimates of fair value subject to judgment.  If actual information or conditions are different than estimated, the extent of the impairment of the security may be different than previously estimated, which could have a material effect on Riverview’s

results of operations and financial condition.

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets are reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles relating to *Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets*, and *Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets*.  Goodwill is tested for impairment and an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.  Riverview employs general industry practices in evaluating the fair value of its goodwill and other intangible assets.  No assurance can be given that future impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.

 

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.  Riverview has deemed that its deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized, and accordingly, has not established a valuation allowance on them.

 

**OVERVIEW**

 

*Business Combination*

 

On December 31, 2008 and pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation (the “Agreement”), dated, June 18, 2008, as amended, by and between First Perry Bancorp, Inc. (“First Perry”) and HNB Bancorp, Inc. (“HNB”), Riverview Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania Corporation, was formed upon the completion of the consolidation of First Perry and HNB under Pennsylvania law.  Riverview issued 1,750,003 shares of common stock.  Each outstanding share of common stock of First Perry and HNB was converted into 2.435 and 2.520 shares of Riverview’s common stock, respectively.  Further, The First National Bank of Marysville, the wholly owned subsidiary of First Perry, and Halifax National Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of HNB, consolidated to form Riverview National Bank, which is the wholly owned subsidiary of Riverview.  The primary reason for the combination was to pool resources to provide greater products and services to customers in the contiguous counties, and to provide better efficiencies and cost savings through the consolidation of operations.

 

Riverview’s results of operations are primarily derived from the management of spread income generated between the interest received on its interest-earning assets and the interest paid on its interest-bearing liabilities.  Changes in net interest income are not only affected by changes in interest rates, but are also impacted by changes in the make-up and volume of the balance sheet as well as the level of yield generated from interest-earning assets versus the costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities.  Riverview also generates non-interest income from fees associated with various products and services offered to customers, mortgage banking activities, bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and from the sale of assets, such as loans or investments.   Offsetting these revenues are provisions for potential losses on loans, administrative expenses and income taxes.

 

As of the 2010 year end, Riverview achieved net income of $1,287,000, an increase of 15.8% from net income of $1,111,000 for the 2009 year end.  Basic and diluted earnings per share in 2010 were $0.74 per share, an increase of 17.5% from $0.63 per share in 2009.  The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income as a result of lower cost of funds.  The return on average assets was 0.49% as of the 2010 year end compared with 0.46% as of the 2009 year end.  Return on average equity was 5.01% in 2010 compared to 4.45% in 2009.  The increase in both ratios is due to the increase in net income during 2010.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

 

**Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin**

 

Net interest income is the most significant component of Riverview’s net income as a result of its focus on traditional banking activities.  It is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  The change in net interest income from year to year may be due to changes in interest rates, changes in volumes of interest-earning assets and liabilities as well as changes in the mix of such assets and liabilities.  Riverview’s principal interest-earning assets are loans to individuals and small businesses, with a secondary source of income earned from the investment securities portfolio and other interest-earning deposits with banks.  Interest-bearing liabilities consist primarily of demand deposit accounts, time deposits, money market accounts, savings deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings.  Generally, changes in net interest income are portrayed by net interest rate spread and net interest margin.  Net interest rate spread is equal to the difference between the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate incurred on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest margin is the average yield on interest-earning assets minus the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing deposits.  Net interest income growth is generally dependent upon balance sheet growth and maintaining or growing the net interest margin.  For analysis purposes, net interest income is evaluated on a fully tax-equivalent (“FTE”) basis.  The FTE basis is calculated by grossing up the yield on tax-exempt securities and loans by the Federal tax rate of 34% in order that the yield on tax-exempt assets may be comparable to interest earned on taxable assets.

 

**2010 Compared to 2009**

 

Total interest income increased on a FTE basis (as adjusted for the tax benefit derived from tax exempt assets — see Table 1 for calculation), by $461,000, or 3.7%, to $12,918,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $12,457,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Total interest income increased as a result of 9% growth in total average interest earning assets, even though the yield associated with interest earning assets declined to 5.35% at December 31, 2010 from 5.62% at December 31, 2009.

 

Total interest expense decreased $782,000, or 16.1%, to $4,078,000 in 2010 from $4,860,000 in 2009, even though average interest bearing liabilities increased $19,632,000 or 10%.  The decrease in total interest expense was attributable to a decline in cost of funds to 1.89% at December 31, 2010 from 2.48% at December 31, 2009.  Further contributing to the decrease was a change in the composition of deposits, where time deposits, which generally carry the highest cost to fund, declined 11% from the 2009 year end to the 2010 year end, while average interest-bearing demand deposit volume, which generally have a lower funding cost, increased 88.8% year over year.

 

Net interest income calculated on a FTE basis increased $1,243,000, or 16.4%, to $8,840,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $7,597,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Riverview’s net interest spread (on a fully tax equivalent basis) increased to 3.46% for 2010 from 3.14% for 2009, while net interest margin (on a fully tax equivalent basis) increased to 3.66% for 2010 from 3.43% for 2009.  In consideration of the increased volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, management proactively managed the cost associated with interest bearing liabilities and was able to improve its net interest spread and margin even though the yields from interest earning assets declined.   Riverview’s ability to manage net interest income over a variety of interest rate and economic environments is important to its financial success.

 

**2009 Compared to 2008**

 

Total interest income increased on a FTE basis by $5,135,000, or 70.1 %, to $12,457,000 for 2009 from $7,322,000 for 2008.  This increase was due to the consolidation and organic growth of the Bank, which contributed to the 85.8% increase in average interest-earning assets to $221,605,000 in 2009 from $119,246,000 in 2008.  The growth in average interest-earning assets was attributable to a 43.6 % increase in investment securities, 77.2% increase in loans and a 1651.3% increase in other interest-earning assets, mostly

comprised of deposits with banks.  The increased volume offset the decline in yields (calculated on a fully tax-equivalent basis) to 5.62% for 2009 from 6.14% in 2008.  The decline in the yield on earning assets was attributable to changes in market interest rates.

 

Total interest expense increased $1,816,000, or 59.7% to $4,860,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $3,044,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Cost of funds decreased to 2.48% at the end of 2009 from 2.87% at the end of 2008.  The decline in the cost of funds offset the increase in the volume of average interest-bearing liabilities, which increased as a result of the consolidation.

 

Net interest income calculated on a FTE basis increased $3,319,000, or 77.6%, to $7,597,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $4,278,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Riverview’s net interest spread decreased to 3.14% at December 31, 2009 from 3.27% at December 31, 2008, while its net interest margin decreased to 3.43% at December 31, 2009 from 3.58% at December 31, 2008.  In consideration of the increased volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and a declining interest rate environment, management proactively managed the cost associated with interest-bearing liabilities to offset the decline in yields from interest earning assets.

**Provision for Loan Losses**

 

Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level management considers adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Credit exposures deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses.  Recoveries of previously charged-off loans are credited to the allowance for loan losses.  The Bank performs periodic evaluations of the allowance for loan losses with consideration given to historical, internal and external factors.  In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, delinquency trends and charge-off activity, status of past due and non-performing loans, growth within the portfolio, the amount and types of loans comprising the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to pay, the estimated value of underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are caused to undergo interpretation and possible revision as events occur or as more information becomes available.  Loans are also reviewed for impairment based on discounted cash flows using the loans’ initial effective interest rates or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans as provided under the accounting standard relating to *Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan*.  After an evaluation of these factors, the provision recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,506,000 as compared with $1,125,000 for the 2009 year end.  The provision passed for 2010 was driven primarily by an increase in the qualitative factors applied to all unimpaired loan pools warranted by an increase in past due, non-performing and criticized/classified assets year over year, along with the continued slow economic recovery.  In determining the allowance for loan losses, the Bank identified separate pools with higher loss factors to segregate unimpaired criticized and classified loans from all other unimpaired loans.  This more clearly details the risk inherent in the portfolio by refining the pools of assets with similar risk characteristics.  The

allowance for loan losses was $2,973,000 or 1.67% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2010 as compared to $2,560,000, or 1.48% of total loans at December 31, 2009.

 

Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and makes provisions for loan losses, if necessary, in order to maintain the adequacy of the allowance.  Management believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 is maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb probable and potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  At the same time, management continues to allocate dedicated resources to continue to manage at-risk credits.

 

**Non-Interest Income**

 

Non-interest income is an important component of net income for Riverview, representing 13.5% of the total revenues (comprised of net interest income and non-interest income) as of the 2010 year end as compared with 18.3% as of the 2009 year end.  Non-interest income consists primarily of customer service fees and charges derived from deposit accounts, mortgage banking activities, the investment in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and gains from the sale of loans and available-for-sale securities.

 

The following table presents the components of non-interest income and related fluctuations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

 
| ** **                                     | ** ** | **Years Ended December 31,** | ** ** |

| Earnings on cash value of life insurance       | ** ** | **249**                                     |       | (13 | ) | (5.0 | )% | 262 |   |
| Gain on sale of available-for-sale securities  | ** ** | **6**                                       |       | (281 | ) | (97.9 | )% | 287 |   |
| Gain on sale of other real estate owned        | ** ** | **13**                                      |       | 13 |   | 100.0 | % | — |   |
| Gain from sale of held for sale mortgage loans | ** ** | **389**                                     |       | (54 | ) | (12.2 | )% | 443 |   |
|                                           | ** ** | **$**                                       | **1,320**  |   | $ | (318 | ) | (19.4 | )% | $ | 1,638 |   |

 

Total non-interest income decreased 19.4% as of December 31, 2010 as compared with December 31, 2009 and is attributable to the following:

 

·                  The increase in service charges is due to increased deposit accounts and transaction activity.

 

·                  The decrease in other service charges and fees reflects the impact of recording less ATM and interchange fees.

 

·                  Earnings from the cash value of life insurance were lower in 2010 as compared with 2009 because of the receipt of additional income of $26,000 during 2009 from the death benefit paid for a former director.

 

·                  The gain on the sale of available for sale securities was lower because the Bank sold less investment securities from its portfolio in 2010 as compared with 2009.

 

·                  During 2010 the Bank realized a $13,000 gain from the sale of an other real estate owned property.  However, the Bank recorded less of a gain from the sale of mortgage loans during 2010 as a result of a decrease in the volume of loans available for sale servicing released to Freddie Mac as compared with 2009.

| Total non-interest expenses               | ** ** | **$**                                       | **6,790**  |   | $ | 251 |   | 3.8 | % | $ | 6,539 |   |

 

The increase of $251,000 or 3.8% in non-interest expenses is primarily attributable to the Bank’s overall growth.  Specific expenses that had the greatest impact on increasing non-interest expenses included higher salary expense due to staff additions, increased medical benefit premiums, increased occupancy expenses due to weather related utility costs and the opening of a new branch during the latter part of 2010, and greater transaction volumes resulting in higher data processing and deposit related costs.

 

Offsetting the increase in non-interest expenses were declines in certain other expense categories which included lower professional fees, postage and FDIC premium.  With regard to the FDIC premium, on November 12, 2009, the Board of Directors of the FDIC adopted a final rulemaking requiring insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012.  The FDIC also voted to adopt a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011.  Each institution recorded the entire amount of its prepaid assessment as a prepaid expense (asset) as of December 31, 2009.  As of December 31, 2009, and each quarter thereafter, each institution will record an expense (charge to earnings) for its regular quarterly assessment for the quarter and an offsetting credit to the prepaid assessment until the asset is exhausted.  Once the asset is exhausted, the institution will record an accrued expense payable each quarter for the assessment payment, which will be paid in arrears to the FDIC at the end of the following quarter.  All FDIC insured financial institutions were required to pay this special assessment.  If the prepaid assessment is not exhausted by December 31, 2014, any remaining amount will be returned to the depository institution.  This expense for 2010 is lower than that of 2009 because the 2010 costs reflect a more normalized assessment even though assessment rates and the Bank’s deposits increased.

 

**Income Taxes**

 

The provision for federal income tax expense was $229,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $153,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The tax provision increased $76,000, or 49.7%, as a result of the increased level of net income achieved in 2010.  The tax provision reflects an effective tax rate of approximately 15.1% for 2010 and 12.1% for 2009.  The increase in the effective tax rate for 2010 was due to a $252,000, or 19.9% increase in net income before taxes.  The impact from the increased level of net income was somewhat mitigated by tax free income generated from certain investment securities, loans and bank owned life insurance.   Riverview’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 34% due to tax-exempt interest income and non-taxable income from bank owned life insurance.

**FINANCIAL CONDITION**

 

**Securities**

 

Riverview’s securities portfolio is comprised of securities, which not only provide interest income, including tax-exempt income, but also provide a source of liquidity, diversify the earning assets portfolio, allow for the management of risk and tax liability, and provide collateral for repurchase agreements and public fund deposits.  Policies are in place to address various aspects of managing the portfolio, including but not limited to, concentrations, liquidity, credit quality, interest rate sensitivity and regulatory guidelines.  Adherence to these policies is monitored by Riverview’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) which meets on a quarterly basis.

 

Because of the changing nature of the banking environment and the need to 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.

 

**Table 3** illustrates the composition of the securities portfolio for the periods presented.

During 2010 the outstanding balance of U.S. Government agencies declined because of payments from the maturities of certain agency securities.  The balance of state and municipal bonds increased due to the Bank’s need to generate more tax-exempt income to complement the increase in its net income.  Mortgage-backed securities increased as well.  Management’s decision to increase its holdings of mortgage-backed securities was a way to re-invest increased liquidity that resulted primarily from deposit growth, into a government sponsored or government guaranteed investments with relatively short durations, generate a consistent cash flow and produce yields higher than overnight federal funds or Treasury investments with comparable maturities.

 

Included in the carrying values of investment securities at December 31, 2010 is a net unrealized loss of ($44,000), compared to a net unrealized gain of $245,000 at December 31, 2009.  At December 31, 2010, the unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale, net of tax, included in shareholders’ equity totaled ($29,000), compared to $161,000 at December 31, 2009.  The net decrease in the carrying value of securities in the portfolio is reflective of pressure on investment security prices as a result of an increase in interest rates on the long end of the Treasury yield curve which occurred during the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2010.  As the yield curve steepened on the long end of the curve, the market value decreased particularly for those securities in the portfolio that have longer maturities.  Investments with longer maturities have started to lose their allure to investors as a result of their higher duration risk and investors’ perception that newly issued investments will generate higher yields.

Riverview conducts a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if any declines in the fair values of securities are other-than-temporary.  If such a decline were deemed to be other-than-temporary, Riverview would measure the total credit-related component of the unrealized loss and recognize that portion of the loss as a charge to current period earnings.  The remaining portion of the unrealized loss would be recognized as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income.  The market value of the securities portfolio is significantly affected by changes in interest rates.  In general, as interest rates rise, the market value of fixed-rate securities decreases and as interest rates fall, the market value of fixed rate securities increases.  No securities are considered other-than-temporarily-impaired based on management’s evaluation of the individual securities, including the extent and length of the unrealized loss, Riverview’s ability to hold the security until maturity or until the fair value recovers, and management’s opinion that it will not have to sell the securities prior to recovery of value.  Riverview invests in securities for the cash flow and yields they produce and not to profit from trading.  Riverview holds no trading securities in its portfolio and the portfolio does not contain high risk securities or derivatives as of December 31, 2010.

 

Riverview’s investment in the stock of the FHLB is required for membership in the organization and is carried at cost since there is no market value available.  The amount that Riverview is required to invest is based upon a formula which weighs a dependence upon the relative size of outstanding borrowings that it has with the FHLB.  Excess stock was typically repurchased at par by the FHLB from Riverview if borrowings declined to a predetermined level.  In late December 2008, the FHLB announced that it suspended the payment of dividends and the repurchase of excess capital stock to preserve its capital level.  That decision was based on FHLB’s analysis and consideration of certain negative market trends and the impact those trends had on its financial condition.  Based upon its agreement with its member banks, the FHLB is not generally required to redeem membership stock until five years after the membership has terminated.  However, in October 2010, as a good faith gesture, the FHLB redeemed approximately 5% of current outstanding stock.  As a result Riverview’s FHLB stock holdings were reduced to 18,808 shares, equivalent to $1,880,800.  Based on the financial results of the FHLB for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, management believes that the suspension of the dividend payment is temporary in nature.  Management further believes that the FHLB will continue to be a primary source of wholesale liquidity for both short- and long-term funding and has concluded that its investment in FHLB stock is not other-than-temporarily impaired.  Riverview will continue to monitor the financial condition of the FHLB quarterly to assess its ability to resume these activities in the future.

**Loans**

 

The loan portfolio comprises the major component of Riverview’s earning assets and is the highest yielding asset category.  At December 31, 2010, total loans receivable (net of the allowance for loan losses, unearned fees and origination costs) amounted to $175,064,000, an increase of $4,680,000, or 2.7%, as compared with $170,384,000 as of December 31, 2009.  Loans receivable, net of the allowance for loan losses, represent 63.6% of total assets and 73.8% of total deposits as of December 31, 2010, as compared to 67.4% and 79.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2009.  All of Riverview’s loans are to domestic borrowers.

Loan growth for the 2010 year end as compared with the 2009 year end is attributable to increases in real estate loans, where commercial real estate loans increased 9.3%, construction loans increased 5.9% and residential mortgages increased 1.5%.  The lower percentage growth in residential mortgage loans was due to the fact that during 2010 the Bank sold mortgage loans servicing released to Freddie Mac.  The benefit of selling mortgage loans versus keeping them in the portfolio resulted in generating fee income while eliminating interest rate risk associated with those loans.  Going forward, the Bank will continue to evaluate its options regarding residential mortgage loans in consideration of its relationship with its customers, the interest rate environment and overall economic conditions.  In general, management projects continued growth in the loan portfolio as additional staff has been hired, and as the economy improves and opportunities are identified in Riverview’s market area.

 

The Bank takes a balanced approach to its lending activities and manages risk associated with its loan portfolio by maintaining diversification within the portfolio, consistently applying prudent underwriting standards, ongoing monitoring efforts with attention to portfolio dynamics and mix, and procedures that are consistently applied and updated on an annual basis.  Riverview conducts an annual independent credit review of the loan portfolio to provide continual assessment of asset quality through an evaluation of the established underwriting criteria used in originating credits.  Separately, every loan booked and loan turndown undergoes an internal audit review for conformity with established policies and a review for compliance with current regulatory lending laws.  Riverview has not lessened its loan underwriting criteria during this time, and management believes its standards continue to remain conservative.

 

Other than as described herein, management does not believe there are any trends, events, or uncertainties that are reasonably expected to have a materially adverse impact on future results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

**Credit Risk and Loan Quality**

 

One of Riverview’s key objectives has been and continues to be to maintain a high level of asset quality.  Riverview strives to proactively monitor credit risk and exposure to ensure and protect the high quality of its loan portfolio.  Credit policy requires that underwriting, loan documentation and credit analysis standards be met prior to the approval and funding of any loan.  These practices have contributed to the strength and credit quality of Riverview’s loan portfolio and have protected the portfolio during economic periods of uncertainty.

The non-performing assets ratio presented in the table for the 2010 year end reflects deterioration in the credit quality of the loan portfolio since the 2009 year end.  During the twelve months of 2010, the Bank experienced an increase in total non-performing loans due to an increase of $1,316,000 in accruing loans past due 90 days and offset by a decline of $344,000 in non-accrual loans.  The increase in accruing loans past due 90 days as of December 31, 2010 as compared with the 2009 year end is attributable to four loans to one customer totaling $1,535,000 secured by personal residential real estate.  It is anticipated that this delinquency will be cured in the first quarter of 2011. Management continues to be vigilant in its efforts to minimize, identify and evaluate credit risk and potential losses.  Management is proactive in addressing and managing risk appropriate to the increasing level of loan volume and delinquencies in the loan portfolio through its implementation of an enhanced credit administration process - including a more structured loan collection process and close monitoring of compliance with underwriting and loan to value guidelines.

 

Riverview had $230,000 in real estate acquired through foreclosure as of December 31, 2010 as compared with $312,000 as of December 31, 2009.  The real estate consists of one residential property located in one of the communities serviced by Riverview.  The decrease at December 31, 2010 from December 31, 2009 is due to the sale of one of the properties during the third quarter of 2010.  Riverview expects to be able to sell the outstanding property during 2011 with no additional loss.  Riverview’s residential loan portfolio is centered in properties at price points which have held up well locally as evidenced

by appraisals.  Loan-to-value ratios in this portfolio generally continue to provide adequate collateral support and management does not anticipate any material decline in the Bank’s ability to collect on these loans.

 

A loan concentration is considered to exist when the total amount of loans to any one or multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or have similar economic characteristics, exceed 10% of loans outstanding in any one category.  The following table presents loan concentrations as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Although such loans were not made to any one particular borrower or industry, the quality of these loans could be affected by the region’s economy and overall real estate market.  Management stress tested significant exposures in these portfolios in 2010 by applying a 10% reduction in rents and determined that the loans can still generally perform as agreed.  To date, the performance of these portfolios continues to be good, with nominal delinquency and $19,000 in losses for the year.

 

Demand for office space was solid in 2010 in Riverview’s market area with absorption reaching the highest level since 2006.  The marketplace showed continuing signs of improvement with positive absorption and stable to improving vacancy rates in all classes of space during 2010.  Riverview’s non-residential market has not suffered the serious deterioration evident in certain other areas in the country.  As such, management does not believe that this concentration is an adverse trend to Riverview at this time.

 

Riverview’s lending policy is executed through the assignment of tiered loan limit authorities to individual officers of Riverview and the Board of Directors.  Although Riverview maintains sound credit policies, certain loans may deteriorate for a variety of reasons.  Riverview’s policy is to place all loans in a non-accrual status upon becoming 90 days delinquent in their payments, unless the loan is well secured and there is documented, reasonable expectation of the collection of the delinquent amount.  Loans are reviewed daily as to their status.  Management is not aware of any potential loan problems that have not been disclosed in this report.

 

**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 Riverview’s Board of Directors 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 review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, trends in credit risk ratings, 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 substandard or doubtful and deemed to be impaired.  For such loans, an allowance is

established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers non-impaired 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 Riverview 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 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, Riverview does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless the loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

 

As a result of management’s ongoing assessment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in consideration of the risks and trends associated with the loan portfolio, a provision of $1,506,000 was made to the allowance for loan losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.  Management determined that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to absorb any losses inherent in the portfolio.  Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary, and the results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations.  Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that material increases will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate as a result of factors previously discussed.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans as of December 31, 2010 as compared with December 31, 2009 is reflective primarily of an increase in the qualitative factors applied to unimpaired loan pools warranted by an increase in past due, non-performing and criticized/classified assets year over year, along with the continued slow economic recovery.  Also in determining the allowance for loan losses the Bank identified separate pools with higher loss factors to segregate unimpaired criticized and classified loans from all other unimpaired loans.  This more clearly details the risk inherent in the portfolio by refining the pools of assets with similar risk characteristics.  Management continues to be attentive to potential deterioration in credit quality due to economic pressures, economic conditions and the softness in real estate prices in the markets served by Riverview.  Although management is proactive in identifying and dealing with credit issues that it can control, it anticipates that going forward, additional provisions to its allowance for loan losses may be warranted as a result of economic factors it cannot control.

 

The following **Table 9** details the allocation of the allowance for loan losses to the various loan categories at December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006.  The allocation is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the loan categories in which future credit losses may occur.  The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of loans.

A significantly larger percentage of the allowance for loan losses shifted towards the mortgage segment of the portfolio as of December 31, 2010 versus December 31, 2009.  This is due to specific allocations on loans measured for impairment, as well as higher qualitative risk factors applied to this segment reflecting increased delinquency and non-performing assets.

 

Management currently believes the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary, and the results of operations could be significantly and adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations.  In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that material increases will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate as a result of factors previously discussed.

 

**Deposits**

 

Riverview generates and services deposits through the Bank’s traditional branch banking delivery system.  Deposits are Riverview’s major source of funds available for lending and other investment purposes.  Total deposits at December 31, 2010, were $237,272,000, an increase of $22,336,000, or 10.4%, over total deposits of $214,936,000 as of December 31, 2009.  While noninterest bearing deposits decreased (4.5%) at December 31, 2010 since the 2009 year end, interest bearing deposits increased $23,195,000 or 11.9%.  In particular, interest bearing demand deposit accounts, which include the Bank’s Hometown NOW deposit product, experienced the highest growth during 2010 since the 2009 year end.

 

**Table 10** sets forth the average balance of the Bank’s deposits and the average rates paid on those deposits for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.  All deposits are domestic deposits.

**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 at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and increased $161,000 to $968,000 at December 31, 2010 as compared with $807,000 as of December 31, 2009.

 

Long-term borrowings are generally utilized as a resource to fund growth.  Riverview also considers the use of long-term borrowings as a means of managing its cost of funds.  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 FHLB.  Long-term borrowings as of December 31, 2010 decreased $14,000 from the prior year end to $10,683,000 as compared to $10,697,000 as of December 31, 2009.  The actual principal amount of the borrowings did not change year over year.  Rather the decreases in the respective year-end balances were attributable to the amortization of a premium associated with purchase adjustment entries resulting from the consolidation and formation of the Bank as of December 31, 2008.

 

Additional information relating borrowings can be found in Note 10 — Borrowings — in Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — incorporated in this Form 10-K.

 

**Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Requirements/Ratios**

 

The net result of activity that affected shareholders’ equity during the year resulted in an increase of $210,000 in total shareholders’ equity to $24,927,000, at December 31, 2010, from $24,717,000, at December 31, 2009.  A summary of the transactions include:

 

·                  Net income of $1,287,000 generated in 2010;

 

·                  An decrease of $190,000 in the change of accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale;

 

·                  The payment of quarterly cash dividends to shareholders totaling $875,000 in 2010 reduced shareholders’ equity.

Riverview places significant emphasis on maintaining strong capital levels.  The goals for capital planning are to build a strong capital base to fund future growth, to support risks inherent in the banking industry, to retain earnings to meet regulatory requirements and to provide an adequate return to shareholders.

 

Riverview meets the eligibility criteria of a small bank holding company in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement.  Accordingly, Riverview is exempt from regulatory requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  However, the Bank is subject to various regulatory capital adequacy requirements administered by the Federal Reserve Board.  Current capital guidelines issued by federal regulatory authorities require the Bank to meet minimum risk-based capital ratios in an effort to make regulatory capital more responsive to possible risk exposure related to a corporation’s on and off-balance sheet items.

 

Risk-based capital provides the basis for which all companies are evaluated in terms of capital adequacy.  Risk-based capital guidelines redefine the components of capital and establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet items.  The components of risk-based capital are segregated as Tier I and Tier II capital.  Tier I capital is composed of total stockholders’ equity reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets.  Tier II capital is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and any qualifying debt obligations.  The minimum risk-based capital standards require all banks to have Tier I capital of at least 4% and total capital (which includes Tier I capital) of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.

 

The Bank is also subject to leverage capital requirements.  This requirement compares capital (using the definition of Tier I capital) to quarterly average balance sheet assets and is intended to supplement the risk-based capital ratio in measuring capital adequacy.  The guidelines set a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for institutions that are highly rated in terms of safety and soundness, and which are not experiencing or anticipating any significant growth.  Other institutions are expected to maintain capital levels of at least 1% or 2% above that minimum.  As of December 31, 2010, the Bank had a Tier I leverage ratio of 8.4%.

 

**Table 13**provides a comparison of the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Table of Contents

 

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Bank exceeded the minimum regulatory capital requirements and was considered to be “well capitalized” under applicable federal regulations.  Additional information relating to regulatory capital ratios can be found in Note 13 — Regulatory Matters and Shareholders’ Equity — in Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data incorporated in this Form 10-K.

 

The maintenance of a solid capital foundation continues to be a primary goal for Riverview.   An objective of the capital planning process is to balance effectively the retention of capital to support future growth, while at the same time, providing shareholders with an attractive long-term return on their investment.  Management believes that Riverview’s capital position is adequate to support current operations and growth, and anticipates earnings to grow in tandem with asset growth.  However, management is conscious of the impact that either rapid expansion or lower than projected earnings may potentially have on deteriorating Riverview’s capital position.  Management proactively monitors the capital levels to ensure that they remain well in line with regulatory requirements, and is positioned to enact appropriate measures to ensure the strength of Riverview’s capital position.  While Riverview continues to look for growth opportunities, there are no other known events, trends or circumstances that would adversely impact capital.

 

Prompt Corrective Action

 

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

 

·                  Implementation of a capital restoration plan and a guarantee of the plan by a parent institution

 

·                  Placement of a hold on increases in assets, number of branches, or lines of business

 

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.

 

**Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans**

 

In January 2009, Riverview implemented a nonqualified stock option plan. The purpose of the 2009 Stock Option Plan was to advance the development, growth and financial condition of the Corporation by providing incentives through participation in the appreciation of the common stock of the Corporation to secure, retain and motivate the Corporation’s directors, officers and key employees and to align such person’s interests with those of the Corporation’s shareholders. The following table discloses the number of outstanding options granted by Riverview to participants in equity compensation plans not approved by shareholders, as well as the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the plans.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

 

Riverview’s financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk.  These commitments consist mainly of loans approved but not yet funded, unused lines of credit and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments.  Unused commitments at December 31, 2010, were $22,370,000.  Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to Riverview.  Refer to Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the nature, business purpose and importance of Riverview’s off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations.  Riverview has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.

 

**Liquidity**

 

Liquidity refers to Riverview’s ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet financial obligations to its customers in order to fund loans, to respond to deposit outflows and to cover operating expenses.  Maintaining a level of liquid funds through asset/liability management seeks to ensure that these needs are met at a reasonable cost.  Liquidity is essential to compensate for fluctuations in the balance sheet and provide funds for growth and normal operating expenditures.  Sources of liquidity are provided on a continuous basis through scheduled and unscheduled principal reductions and interest payments on outstanding loans and investment securities.  Liquidity needs may also be met by converting assets into cash or obtaining sources of additional funding, whether through deposit growth, securities sold under agreements to repurchase or borrowings under lines of credit with correspondent banks.

 

Liquidity from the asset category is provided through cash, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold, which totaled $30,471,000 at December 31, 2010 as compared to $27,533,000 at December 31, 2009.  While liquidity sources generated from assets include scheduled and prepayments of principal and interest from securities and loans in Riverview’s portfolios, longer-term liquidity needs may be met by selling securities available-for-sale, selling loans or raising additional capital.  At December 31, 2010, unpledged available-for-sale securities with a carrying value of $21,298,000 were readily available for liquidity purposes, as compared with $13,203,000 at December 31, 2009.  The increase of $8,095,000 in unpledged available-for-sale securities was attributable to the growth in the investment portfolio.

 

On the liability side, the primary source of funds available to meet liquidity needs is to attract deposits at competitive rates.  The bank’s core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit $100,000 and over, were $201,714,000 at December 31, 2010 as compared to $184,805,000 at December 31, 2009.  The increase in core deposits is the result of deposit growth attributable to the Bank’s Hometown NOW deposit product.  Core deposits have historically provided a source of relatively stable and low cost liquidity, as has also been the case for securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  Short-term and long-term borrowings utilizing the federal funds line and credit facility established with a correspondent financial institution and the FHLB are also considered to be reliable sources for funding.  As of December 31, 2010, Riverview had access to two formal borrowing lines totaling $104,711,000 with the aggregate amount outstanding on these lines totaling $10,678,000.

 

There are a number of factors that may impact Riverview’s liquidity position.  Changes in interest rates, local economic conditions and the competitive marketplace can influence prepayments on investment securities, loan fundings and payments, and deposit flows.  Management is of the opinion that its liquidity position at December 31, 2010 is adequate to respond to fluctuations “on” and “off” the balance sheet since it manages liquidity on a daily basis and expects to have sufficient funds to meet all of its funding requirements.

Except as discussed above, there are no known demands, trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in Riverview’s inability to meet anticipated or unexpected needs.

 

**Effects of 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 Riverview 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 Riverview’s assets.  Inflation may also affect the level of interest rates in the general market, which in turn can affect Riverview’s profitability and the market value of assets held.  Riverview 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 Riverview’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 Riverview’s financial condition or results of operations, appropriate discussion takes place in the applicable note to the consolidated financial statements.

***REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM***

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Riverview Financial Corporation

Halifax, Pennsylvania

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Riverview Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  Riverview Financial Corporation’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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audit 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 the 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 Riverview Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010 and 2009**

 

**Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

 

**Nature of Operations**

 

The Corporation and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary provide loan, deposit and other commercial banking services through four full service offices in Marysville, Duncannon and Enola, Perry County, Pennsylvania, one full service office in Hampden Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, one full service office in Tower City, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and three full service and one drive-up office in Halifax, Millersburg and Elizabethville, 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 currently subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  On March 14, 2011, the Bank filed an application with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking to covert from a national banking association to a state-chartered bank.  The conversion is expected to take place during the second or third quarter of 2011, pending regulatory approval.

 

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.

 

**Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Accounting**

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Riverview Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview National Bank.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Corporation uses the accrual basis of accounting.

 

**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 potential impairment of goodwill and restricted stock, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities 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.

**Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**

 

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.

 

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

 

Cash and cash equivalents, for purposes of the statements of cash flows, consist 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.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, all of the Corporation’s investment securities were classified as available-for-sale.

 

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.

 

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on investment securities available-for-sale are reported as a net amount in a separate component (“accumulated other comprehensive income”) of shareholders’ equity until realized.  In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting pronouncement (ASC 320, *Investments-Debt and Equity Securities*) that amends other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) guidance for debt securities.  The pronouncement changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other-than-temporary to debt securities and replaces the existing requirement that the Corporation’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with the requirement that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and (b) whether it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis.  Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are considered to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses.  The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The pronouncement does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities.  The pronouncement was effective for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and had no significant impact to the Corporation’s financial statements.

**Mortgage Loans Held for Sale**

 

Mortgage loans originated and held for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate.  During 2009, the Bank entered into an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) to sell loans servicing released.  This was in addition to the agreement that the Bank entered into in 2008 to sell loans servicing released under the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh’s (“FHLB”) Mortgage Partnership Finance program (“MPF”).  Premiums and discounts and origination fees and costs on loans held for sale are deferred and recognized as a component of the gain or loss on sale.  Residential loan sales under the Freddie Mac and MPF programs have been made without recourse.  Both programs require details of the residential loan in advance of the sale and both have the ability to perform post closing quality control reviews.  If the results of these reviews discover any documentation errors, Freddie Mac and MPF can require the Bank to repurchase the loan.

 

**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 on loans in all loan segments (nonaccrual loans) is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing.  A loan may remain on accrual status if it is well secured and in the process of collection.   When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current calendar year is reversed and all unpaid interest accrued in prior calendar years is charged against the allowance for loan losses.  Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are either applied against principal or reported as interest income according to management’s judgment as to the collectability 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 collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

 

Loans are considered past due when they are not paid in accordance with contractual terms.

 

Purchased loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration for which it is probable at purchase that all contractually required payments will not be collected are accounted for under an accounting standard relating to *Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired at Transfer*.  This standard addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality.  This standard requires impaired loans to be recorded at fair value and prohibits carrying over valuation allowances in the initial accounting for loans acquired in a transfer, including loans acquired in a purchase business combination.  Under this standard, the excess of cash flows expected at

**Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**

 

purchase over the purchase price is recognized as interest income over the life of the loans.  Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life.  Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments.

 

**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 uncollectability 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 collectability 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 substandard or doubtful and deemed to be impaired.  For such loans, 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-impaired 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.  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, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

 

In determining the allowance for loan losses, the Bank identified separate pools with higher loss factors to segregate unimpaired criticized and classified loans from all other unimpaired loans.  This more clearly details the risk inherent in the portfolio by refining the pools of assets with similar characteristics.

**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, 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.  Interest costs incurred during construction of bank premises are capitalized unless they are determined to be insignificant.

 

**Accrued Interest**

 

Accrued interest is interest that has accumulated over a period of time and has been recognized even though the obligation to receive or pay has not occurred.  Accrued interest can either be income, such as the receipt of interest from loans or securities, or it can be an expense, such as the payment of interest on deposits and borrowings.

 

**Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks**

 

Restricted stock, which represents required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks, is carried at cost and as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, consists of the common stock of the Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank.  These stocks are not actively traded and therefore have no readily determinable market value.  In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh notified member banks that it was suspending dividend payments and the repurchase of capital stock.  However, during the fourth quarter of 2010 the FHLB repurchased in good faith 5% of its capital stock.

 

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment in accordance with the accounting standard relating to *Accounting by Certain Entities (Including Entities With Trade Receivables) That Lend to or Finance the Activities of Others*.  Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of the cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.  The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of the cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.

 

Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the restricted stock as of December 31, 2010.

 

**Transfers of Financial Assets**

 

Transfers of financial assets, including loans and loan participation sales, are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

**Cash Value of Life Insurance**

 

The Corporation invests in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) as a source of funding employee benefit expenses.  BOLI involves the purchase of life insurance by the Corporation on a chosen group of directors and select management of the Bank.  The Corporation is the owner and beneficiary of the policies.  The life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies.  These amounts are immediately available to the Corporation upon surrender of the policies.  Income generated from the increase in the cash surrender value of the policies is included in other income on the income statement.

 

**Foreclosed Assets**

 

Real estate and other foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value of the property less estimated cost to sell at the date of acquisition.  Subsequent to acquisition, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value of the property less selling costs.  Any write-down, at or prior to the dates the assets are foreclosed on, is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Subsequent write-downs and expenses incurred in connection with holding such assets are reported in other expenses.  Any gains or losses resulting from the sale of foreclosed assets are recorded in other income.

 

**Goodwill**

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired.  As a result of the adoption of the accounting standard relating to *Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets*, business acquisition goodwill is no longer amortized into the income statement over an estimated life, but rather is tested at least annually for impairment.  Based upon the goodwill analysis performed by an independent third party, there was no goodwill impairment for the 2010 year end.

 

**Intangible Assets**

 

Intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights.  The Corporation’s intangible assets consist of a core deposit intangible, which has a finite life and is amortized over its estimated useful life.  Mortgage servicing rights are also included in intangible assets where the Bank recognized a servicing fee at the time of the sale for the right to service mortgages and other loans sold.  The servicing asset is amortized as an expense over the life of the loan for which the Bank retains the servicing rights.  Intangible assets are also subject to impairment testing when an indication of impairment exists.

 

**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 common stock are recorded as treasury stock at cost.

 

**Advertising**

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $64,000 and $43,000 for the years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

**Earnings Per Common Share**

 

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  For diluted earnings per share, net income is divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents.  The Corporation’s common stock equivalents consist of outstanding common stock options, which amounted to 170,000 options as of the 2010 and 2009 year ends.  There was no intrinsic value associated with the outstanding stock options at December 31, 2010 because the exercise price for each of the options was higher than the trading price of the stock.  The following table presents the amounts used in computing earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

**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.

 

**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.

 

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

**Reclassifications**

 

For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2010 presentation.  Such reclassifications had no impact on net income.

 

**New Accounting Standards**

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the accounting for transfers of financial assets.  The new guidance, which was issued as SFAS No. 166, *Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140*, was adopted into the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) in December 2009 through the issuance of Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) 2009-16.  The new standard provides guidance to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that an entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.  ASU 2009-16 was effective for transfers on or after January 1, 2010.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-6 (ASU 2010-6), *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements*.  The ASU amends Subtopic 820-10 with new disclosure requirements and clarification of existing disclosure requirements.  New disclosures required include the amount of significant transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers.  In addition, the reconciliation for level 3 activity will be required on a gross rather than net basis.  The ASU provides additional guidance related to the level of disaggregation in determining classes of assets and liabilities and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques.  The amendments were effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the reconciliation for Level 3 activity on a gross basis which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

**Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-04, *Accounting for Various Topics — Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs*.  ASU 2010-04 makes technical corrections to existing SEC guidance including the following topics: accounting for subsequent investments, termination of an interest rate swap, issuance of financial statements - subsequent events, use of residential method to value acquired assets other than goodwill, adjustments in assets and liabilities for holding gains and losses, and selections of discount rate used for measuring defined benefit obligation.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements*.  ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09, *Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements*.  ASU 2010-09 addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855 with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provisions related to subsequent events.  An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  ASU 2010-09 is effective immediately.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, *Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses*.  The new disclosure guidance will significantly expand the existing requirements and will lead to greater transparency into a company’s exposure to credit losses from lending arrangements.  The extensive new disclosures of information as of the end of a reporting period will become effective for both interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010.  Specific disclosures regarding activity that occurred before the issuance of the ASU, such as the allowance roll-forward and modification disclosures, will be required for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The Corporation has included the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

 

On September 15, 2010, the SEC issued Release No. 33-9142, *Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In Exchange Act Periodic Reports of Non-Accelerated Filers*.  This release issued a final rule adopting amendments to its rules and forms to conform them to Section 404(c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), as added by Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  SOX Section 404(c) provides that Section 404(b) shall not apply with respect to any audit report prepared for an issuer that is neither an accelerated filer nor a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Release No. 33-9142 was effective September 21, 2010.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

On September 17, 2010, the SEC issued Release No. 33-9144, *Commission Guidance on Presentation of Liquidity and Capital Resources Disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis*.  This interpretive release is intended to improve discussion of liquidity and capital resources in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in order to facilitate understanding by investors of the liquidity and funding risks facing the registrant.  This release was issued in conjunction with a proposed rule, *Short-Term Borrowings Disclosures*, that would require public companies to disclose additional information to investors about their short-term borrowing arrangements.  Release No. 33-9144 was effective on September 28, 2010.  The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, *When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts*.  The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.  For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exits.  For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, *Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations*.  The guidance requires pro forma disclosure for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period.  If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma information should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.  ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, *Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosure about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20*.  The amendments in this ASU temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities.  The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring.  The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated.  Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.  It is not expected that this guidance will have a material impact on Riverview’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The SEC has issued Final Rule No. 33-9002, *Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting*, which requires companies to submit financial statements in XBRL (extensible business reporting language) format with their SEC filings on a phased-in schedule.  Large accelerated filers using

U.S. GAAP were required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for the fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2010.  All remaining filers are required to provide interactive data reports starting with their first quarterly report for fiscal periods ending on or after June 15, 2011.  It is not expected that this guidance will have a material impact on Riverview’s 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, 2010 and 2009 approximated $3,257,000 and $3,055,000, 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.  It is management’s intent to hold all investments until maturity unless market, economic, credit quality 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 credit quality or 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, 2010, nineteen securities, of which eighteen were municipal bonds and one was a mortgage-backed security, had unrealized losses as compared with three mortgage-backed securities and four municipal bonds at December 31, 2009.  Management believes the unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates since the individual securities were purchased as opposed to underlying credit issues.  As management does not intend to sell any debt securities, and it is more likely than not that management will not be required to sell any debt securities before the cost bases are recovered, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

 

As part of its strategy to reduce potential risk inherent within the investment portfolio, the Bank sold two available-for-sale securities during 2010 totaling $6,350,000 as compared with 2009 when it sold 21 available for sale securities totaling $6,942,000.  Gross realized gains for 2010 amounted to $6,000, while there were no gross realized losses, resulting in a $6,000 net gain from the sale.  Gross realized gains from the 2009 sales amounted to $294,000 and gross realized losses amounted to $7,000, resulting in a net gain of $287,000.

 

**Note 4 — Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses**

 

The Bank monitors its loan portfolio on a regular basis with consideration given to detailed analysis of loans by portfolio segment.  Portfolio segments represent pools of loans with similar risk characteristics.  There are eight portfolio segments — commercial loans; non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans; owner occupied commercial real estate loans; one-to-four family investment property loans; commercial land/land development/construction loans; residential real estate loans; home equity lines of credit; and consumer loans.  Internal policy requires that the Chief Credit Officer report to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis as to the status of the loan portfolio and any related credit quality issues.  These reports include information on past due and nonaccrual loans, impaired loans, the allowance for loan losses and changes in the allowance for loan losses, credit quality indicators and foreclosed assets.

 

*Past Due Loans and Nonaccrual Loans*

 

Loans are considered past due when they are not paid in accordance with contractual terms.  Past due loans are monitored by portfolio segment and by severity of delinquency — 30-59 days past due; 60-89 days past due; and 90 days and greater past due.  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 collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing.  A loan may remain on accrual status if it can be documented that it is well secured and in the process of collection.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current calendar year is reversed and all unpaid interest accrued in prior calendar years is charged against the allowance for loan losses.  Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are either applied against principal or reported as interest income according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

The recorded investment in loans greater than 90 days and still accruing approximated $219,000 at December 31, 2009.

 

Included within the loan portfolio are loans in which the Bank discontinued the accrual of interest due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower.  Such loans approximated $2,779,000 and $3,123,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  If the nonaccrual loans had performed in accordance with their original terms, interest income would have increased by $138,000 and $193,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

*Impaired Loans*

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank 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.  The Bank further identifies all loans in nonaccrual status and troubled debt restructured loans as impaired loans, except large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless the loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement. 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.  When the measure of an impaired loan results in a realizable value that is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the difference is recorded as a specific valuation allowance against that loan and the bank will make the appropriate adjustment to the allowance for loan losses.

 

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the total recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $4,637,000 and $4,328,000, respectively, of which $1,372,000 and $3,550,000 required a valuation allowance, which approximated $491,000 and $1,047,000, respectively.  The average investment in impaired loans for 2010 and 2009 was approximately $4,939,000 and $4,963,000, respectively.  Interest income recognized on impaired loans was approximately $113,000 in 2010 and $185,000 in 2009.

Impaired loans include three restructured residential real estate loans for two borrowers who were experiencing financial difficulty.  These three loans total $1,504,000.  One loan was modified to reduce the interest rate and extend the maturity date.  The second loan was modified to reduce the interest rate and allow for interest-only payments for six months.  The third loan was modified to allow for interest-only payments for six months.  There are no commitments to extend additional funds to any impaired loans.

**Note 4 — Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)**

 

*Allowance for Loan Losses*

 

The allowance for loan losses is composed of individual valuation allowances to absorb probable and quantifiable losses based upon current knowledge of the loan portfolio, and loan pool valuation allowances to absorb losses which are not specifically identified but are inherent in the portfolio.  Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis.  If the allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, the Bank’s earnings may be reduced.

 

Individual valuation allowances are established in connection with specific loan reviews and the asset classification process including the procedures for impairment testing.  Such a valuation, which includes a review of loans for which full collectability in accordance with contractual terms is not reasonably assured, considers the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less the costs to sell, if any, or the present value of expected future cash flows, or the loan’s observable market value.  Any shortfall that exists from this analysis results in a specific allowance for the loan.  Pursuant to policy, loan losses must be charged off in the period the loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible.  Assumptions and judgments by management, in conjunction with outside sources, are used to determine whether full collectability of a loan is not reasonably assured.  These assumptions and judgments are also used to determine the estimates of the fair value of the underlying collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows or the loan’s observable market value.  Individual valuation allowances could differ materially as a result of changes in these assumptions and judgments.  Individual loan analyses are performed quarterly on specific loans considered to be impaired.  The results of the individual valuation allowances are aggregated and included in the overall allowance for loan losses.

 

Loan pool valuation allowances represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent risks associated with the Bank’s lending activity, but which, unlike individual allowances, have been allocated to unimpaired loans within the following eight portfolio segments:  commercial loans; non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans; owner occupied commercial real estate loans; one-to-four family investment property loans; commercial land/land development/construction loans; residential real estate loans; home equity lines of credit; and consumer loans.  The Bank measures estimated credit losses on each of these groups of loans based on the historical loss rate of each group.  The historical loss rate is calculated based on the average annualized net charge-offs over the most recent eight calendar quarters.  Unimpaired criticized and classified loans are further segregated as “sub-pools” within each of these eight segments.  A separate, higher loss factor is ascribed to each of these “sub-pools” based on the relative risk in each segment as indicated by historical loss ratios, the level of criticized/classified assets, and the nature of each segment in terms of collateral and inherent risk of the loan type.  Management believes that historical losses or even recent trends in losses do not form a sufficient basis to determine the appropriate level for the allowance.   Management therefore also considers the following qualitative factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with each of the portfolio segments to differ from historical loss experience:

 

·                  Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards;

·                  Changes in national, regional and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio;

**Note 4 — Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)**

 

·                  Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

·                  Changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

·                  Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-accrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified loans;

·                  Changes in the quality of the Bank’s loan review system;

·                  The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and the changes in the level of such concentrations; and

·                  The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements in the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

 

Each portfolio segment is examined quarterly with regard to the impact of each of these factors on the quality and risk profile of the pool, and adjustments ranging from zero to fifty basis points per factor are calculated.  The sum of these qualitative factor adjustments are added to the historical loss ratio for each segment and the resulting percentage is applied to the loan balance of the segment to arrive at the required loan pool valuation allowance.  The loan pool valuation allowance for each segment is summed and added to the individual valuation allowance for impaired loans to arrive at the total allowance for loan losses.

 

These evaluations are inherently subjective because even though they are based on objective data, it is management’s interpretation of the data that determines the amount of the appropriate allowance.  If the evaluations prove to be incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio resulting in additions to the allowance for loan losses and a reduction in Bank earnings.

 

*Loan Charge Offs*

 

Charge offs of commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate and construction loans are recorded promptly upon determination that all or a portion of any loan balance is uncollectible.  A loan is considered uncollectible when the borrower is 90 days or more delinquent in principal or interest repayment and the following conditions exist:

 

·                  It is unlikely that the borrower will have the ability to pay the debt in a timely manner.

 

·                  Collateral value is insufficient to cover the outstanding indebtedness.

 

·                  Guarantors do not provide adequate support.

 

All unsecured consumer loans are charged-off when they become 120 days delinquent or when it is determined that the debt is uncollectible.  Overdrafts are charged off when it is determined recovery is not likely or the overdraft becomes 45 days old, whichever comes first.

 

All secured consumer loans, except those secured by a primary or secondary residence, are  charged off when they become 120 days delinquent, or when it is determined that the debt is uncollectible.

 

Uncollateralized portions of first mortgage residential real estate loans and consumer loans secured by real estate are charged off upon completion of a sheriff’s sale, but prior to the transfer of the fair value carrying balance to other real estate owned.  Current appraisals are obtained to determine the appropriate carrying balance with any exposed portion of the loan principal balance being charged off.

**Note 4 — Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)**

 

*Credit Quality Indicators*

 

The Bank has established a credit risk rating system to quantify the risk in the Bank’s loan portfolio.  This system is a critical tool for managing the Bank’s lending activities and for evaluating appropriate loan loss reserves.  This rating system is dynamic with risk ratings subject to change at any time when circumstances warrant.  The system rates the strength of the borrower and is designed to be a tool for senior management to manage the Bank’s credit risk and provide an early warning system for negative migration of credits.  The system also provides for recognition of improvement in credits.  Risk ratings move dynamically, both negatively and positively.

 

Each new, renewed or modified credit facility is given a risk rating that takes into consideration factors that affect credit quality.  The primary determinants of the risk rating assigned are based upon the reliability of the primary source of repayment and the past, present, and projected financial condition of the borrower.  The rating also reflects current economic and industry conditions.  Major factors used in determining the rating include the following variables:

 

·                  Capitalization

 

·                  Liquidity

 

·                  Cash flow

 

·                  Revenue and earnings trends

 

·                  Management strength or weakness

 

·                  Quality of financial information

 

·                  Reputation and credit history

 

·                  Industry, including economic climate

 

In addition, the following factors may contribute to enhance the risk rating derived from the above factors:

 

*Collateral:* The rating may be affected by the type and quality of collateral, the level of coverage, the economic life of the collateral, liquidation value, and the Bank’s ability to dispose of the collateral.

 

*Guarantors:* Guarantees can differ substantially in enhancing the risk rating assigned to a loan or lending commitment.  In order to provide enough support to impact the assigned rating by one or more levels, the guarantee must be unconditional and be from an individual or entity with substantial wherewithal and a vested interest in the success of the borrower.

 

The Bank assigns risk ratings based on a scale from 1 to 8 with 1 being the highest quality rating and 8 being the lowest quality grade.

 

·                  Levels 1-4  are “Pass” grades

 

·                  Level 5 is “Special Mention” (criticized loan)

 

·                  Level 6 is “Substandard” (classified loan)

 

·                  Level 7 is “Doubtful” (classified loan)

 

·                  Level 8 is “Loss” (classified loan)

**Note 4 — Credit Quality for Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)**

 

*Risk Rating Definitions*

 

1 - Excellent

This category is reserved for loans that contain a virtual absence of any credit risk.  The loan is secured by properly margined cash collateral (in accordance with loan policy).    Loans that are unquestionably guaranteed by the U.S. government, or any agency thereof, would also fit this category.

 

2 — Good

Loans in this category would be characterized by nominal risk and strong repayment certainty. This would include loans to companies or individuals that are paying as agreed and that are either unsecured or secured where reliance is placed on non-liquid or less than good quality liquid collateral.

 

3 -Satisfactory

Loans in this category are considered to exhibit an average level of credit risk.  However, these loans have certain risk characteristics, whether due to management, industry, economic or financial concerns.  Credits with satisfactory liquidity and leverage, with losses considered to be of a temporary nature for which there is only minor concern would be so rated.  Loans for start-up businesses or loans to firms exhibiting high leverage could receive this rating.  Loans in this category would also include borrowers whose underlying financial strength may be relatively weak.  However, risk of loss is considered minimal due to adequate, well-margined and controlled collateral.

 

4 -Watch

Loans in this category would typically be experiencing some negative trends due to financial, operational, economic, or regulatory reasons.  A deteriorating collateral position or guarantor, in isolation, could also justify this rating.  Such loans must have elevated monitoring as a result of negative trends which, if not addressed, could result in an unacceptable increase in credit risk.

 

5 - Special Mention

A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in a deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.  Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification.  Economic or market conditions which are beginning to adversely affect the borrower may be so rated.  An adverse trend in the borrower’s operations or an imbalanced position in the balance sheet which has not reached a point where the liquidation is jeopardized may be best handled by this rating.  Loans in which actual weaknesses are evident and significant should be considered for more serious criticism.  In cases where the credit is weak but trends are improving, and/or collateral support is within normal advance margins, consideration should be given for the next higher rating.

 

6 — Substandard

A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  These loans, even if apparently protected by collateral value, have well-defined weaknesses related to adverse financial, managerial, economic, market, or political conditions which have clearly jeopardized

repayment of principal and interest as originally intended.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  All loans in nonaccrual status may be rated no higher than substandard.

 

7 - Doubtful

A doubtful loan has all of the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending events that may work to strengthen the asset, its classification as a loss is deferred until its most exact status may be determined.  Generally, pending events should be resolved within a relatively short period and the rating will be adjusted based on the new information.  Because of high probability of loss, loans rated doubtful must be in non-accrual status.

 

8 - Loss

Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though a partial recovery may be affected in the future.  When access to collateral, rather than the value of the collateral, is a problem, a less severe classification may be appropriate.  However, the Bank will not maintain an asset on the balance sheet if realizing its value would require long-term litigation or other lengthy recovery efforts.  Losses are recorded in the period the asset becomes uncollectible.

The adequacy of the allowance is analyzed quarterly, with any adjustment to the level deemed appropriate by credit administration management, based upon its risk assessment of the entire portfolio.  Based upon credit administration’s review of the classified loans and the overall allowance levels as they relate to the entire loan portfolio at December 31, 2010, management believes the allowance for loan losses has been established at levels sufficient to cover the probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

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 $20,750 in 2010 and $12,000 in 2009, respectively.  The increase in the 2010 expense was attributable to the retirement of one of the Corporation’s directors in June 2010, thus resulting in a total of two directors who received benefits under this plan during 2010.

 

**Deferred Compensation Agreements**

 

Riverview maintains four 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 Riverview.  The agreements are unfunded with benefits to be paid from Riverview’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 either 15 years for the two executives who were formally with Halifax National Bank and 20 years for the two executives who were formally with The First National Bank of Marysville.  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.

 

Riverview maintains a “Director Deferred Fee Agreement” (DDFA) which allows electing directors to defer payment of their directors’ fees until a future date.  In addition Riverview maintains an “Executive Deferred Compensation Agreement” with one of Riverview’s executives.  This agreement, which was initiated during 2010, allows executives of Riverview to defer payment of their base salary, bonus and performance based compensation until a future date.  For both types of deferred fee agreements, the estimated present value of the future benefits is accrued over the effective dates of the agreements using an interest factor computed as a percent of Riverview’s return on equity.  The agreements are unfunded, with benefits to be paid from Riverview’s general assets.

 

The accrued benefit obligations for all the plans total $561,000 at December 31, 2010 and $466,000 at December 31, 2009 and are included in other liabilities.  Expense related to these plans totaled $79,000 and $72,000 in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

**Stock Option Plan**

 

In January 2009 the Corporation implemented a nonqualified stock option plan.  The purpose of the 2009 Stock Option Plan was to advance the development, growth and financial condition of

the Corporation by providing incentives through participation in the appreciation of the common stock of the Corporation to secure, retain and motivate the Corporation’s directors, officers and key employees and to align such person’s interests with those of the Corporation’s shareholders.  Shares of the Corporation’s common stock that may be issued or transferred under this plan shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 170,000 shares at an exercise price of $13.00 per share.  The vesting schedule is a seven year cliff, which means that the options are 100% vested in the seventh year following the grant date and the expiration date is ten years following the grant date.  As of December 31, 2010 none of the option grants were vested or exercisable.

 

During 2009, the Corporation granted 155,000 options on January 21, 2009, of which 7,000 options were forfeited in April 2009, and 22,000 options granted on September 16, 2009. A summary of the status of the Corporation’s stock option plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

No stock option plans were in existence prior to January 2009.

 

There was no intrinsic value associated with the outstanding stock options at December 31, 2010 because the exercise price for each of the options was higher than the trading price of the stock.  No options were exercised during 2010.

The Corporation has not recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets as management believes it is more likely than not that they will be ultimately realized.

 

The Corporation recorded a $6,000 net gain from the sale of available-for-sale securities during 2010, which was taxed at 34%, or $2,000.  This is in comparison with a $287,000 net gain from the sale of available-for-sale securities during 2009, which was taxed at 34%, or $98,000.

 

*Uncertain Tax Positions*

 

The Corporation files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  With few exceptions, the Corporation is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.  The Corporation adopted the provisions of ASC 740, *Income Taxes*on January 1, 2009, with no impact on the financial statements.

 

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained.  The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period in which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.  Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.  Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.  The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount

measured as described above would be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.  Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Income.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

**Note 10 - Borrowings**

 

The Corporation has an unsecured line of credit agreement with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank in the amount of $6,250,000 at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  Interest accrues based on the daily Federal Funds rate.  There were no amounts outstanding on this line of credit at December 31, 2010 or 2009.

 

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, 2010, the Bank had a maximum borrowing capacity of approximately $98,461,000.  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.

 

A summary of short-term borrowings is as follows at December 31:

**Note 11 - 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 include investments, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.  For loans secured by real estate, the Bank generally requires loan to value ratios of no greater than 80%.

**Note 11 - Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk (Continued)**

 

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, 2010 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 was as follows at December 31:

**Note 12 - 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, Dauphin and Schuylkill, Pennsylvania.  The concentration of credit by type of loan is set forth in the Loans note to the financial statements.

 

**Note 13 - 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, 2010, $747,000 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 effect 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 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.

**Note 13 - Regulatory Matters and Shareholders’ Equity (Continued)**

 

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, 2010, the Bank meets all the capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

 

As of December 31, 2010 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 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, 2010 and 2009 and the minimum ratios required for capital adequacy purposes and to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions are summarized below.

**Note 14 - Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments**

 

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 transaction on the dates indicated.  The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends

**Note 14 - Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)**

 

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.

 

In September 2006, a new accounting standard was released relating to *Fair Value Measurements*.  This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy regarding 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 was effective for the Corporation as of January 1, 2008.  However, in February 2008 the effective date of this standard for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) was extended to the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The impact of this standard did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption on January 1, 2009.

 

In October 2008, a new accounting standard was issued related to *Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not Active*to clarify the application of the provisions of *Fair Value Measurements* in an active market and how an entity would determine fair value in an inactive market.  This standard was effective immediately and applied to the Corporation’s December 31, 2008 and later consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2009, a new accounting standard with regard to *Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly* was issued.  The standard for *Fair Value Measurements* defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  The new standard provides additional guidance for determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased.  The standard also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.  This standard also provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability.  When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with the *Fair Value Measurements* standard.  This standard clarifies that when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly.  In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly.  The standard provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly.  A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.  This standard is effective for the Corporation for interim and annual reporting periods ending June 30, 2009 and after.  Adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

 

The *Fair Value Measurements* standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority

to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this standard are as follows:

 
| *Level 1*: |   | Unadjusted   quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date   for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.                                        |
|------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|       |   |                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| *Level 2:* |   | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or   inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially   the full term of the asset or liability.            |
|       |   |                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| *Level 3:* |   | Prices or valuation techniques that require   inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and   unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity). |

 

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  At December 31, 2010, the Corporation had no liabilities subject to fair value reporting requirements.

 

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31 are as follows:

 
| **Description **          | ** ** | **Balance**             | ** ** | **(Level 1)********Quoted Prices in   Active Markets   for Identical   Assets** | ** ** | **(Level 2)********Significant********Other********Observable********Inputs** | ** ** | **(Level 3)********Significant********Unobservable   Inputs** | ** ** |

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

 

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Corporation to measure certain financial assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.

**Note 14 - Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)**

 

*Loans Held for Sale*

 

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.  These loans typically consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market.  Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2).  As such, the Corporation records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis.

 

*Other Real Estate Owned*

 

Certain assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value of real estate acquired through foreclosure at an estimated fair value less cost to sell.  At or near the time of foreclosure, real estate appraisals are obtained on the properties acquired through foreclosure.  The real estate is then valued at the lesser of the appraised value or the loan balance, including interest receivable, at the time of foreclosure less an estimate of costs to sell the property.  Appraised values are typically determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Corporation using observable market data (Level 2).  However, if the acquired property is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered a Level 3.  The estimate of costs to sell the property is based on historical transactions of similar holdings.

 

*Impaired Loans*

 

ASC 820 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent).  Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of collateral.  The impairment of loans is measured based on the estimated value of underlying collateral of the loan.  The value of the collateral is typically determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Corporation using observable market data (Level 2).  However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3.  The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value of the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data.  Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3).  Impaired loans are measured at the lower of cost or fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell on a nonrecurring basis.  Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as a provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income.  The Corporation had impaired loans of $4,637,000 at December 31, 2010 out of which $1,372,000 required a valuation allowance of $491,000.  This compares with impaired loans of $4,328,000 at December 31, 2009, out of which $3,550,000 required a valuation allowance of $1,047,000.

*Goodwill*

 

The fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill recognized in a business combination and uses standard valuation methodologies.  Fair value may be determined using market prices, comparison to similar assets, market multiples, discounted cash flow analysis and other factors.  Estimated cash flows may extend far into the future and by their nature are difficult to determine over an extended time frame.  Factors that may significantly affect the estimates include specific industry or market sector conditions, changes in revenue growth trends, customer behavior, competitive forces, cost structures and changes in discount rates.  The Corporation did not incur goodwill impairment during the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

A summary of assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009 measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis is as follows:

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of Riverview’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 following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

 

***Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost):***

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.

 

***Interest-bearing time deposit (carried at cost):***

 

Fair values for fixed-rate time certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.  The Corporation generally purchases amounts below the insured limit, limiting the amount of credit risk on these time deposits.

 

***Securities:***

 

The fair value of securities available-for-sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing

(Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.  For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3).  In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used.  Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments.  Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments, if applicable.

 

***Mortgage loans held for sale (carried at lower of cost or fair value):***

 

The fair value of mortgages held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary market prices.  If no such quoted prices exist, the fair value of the loan is determined using quoted market prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan.

 

***Loans (carried at cost):***

 

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans.  Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal.  Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

 

***Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):***

 

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under the standard regarding *Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,*in which the Corporation has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.  These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.  At December 31, 2010, the fair value consists of the loan balances of $881,000, net of a valuation allowance of $491,000.

 

***Restricted investment in Bank stocks (carried at cost):***

 

The carrying amount of restricted investment in Bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

 

***Accrued interest receivable and payable (carried at cost):***

 

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

 

***Deposit liabilities (carried at cost):***

 

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

***Short-term borrowings (carried at cost):***

 

The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

 

***Long-term borrowings (carried at cost):***

 

Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity.  The prices were obtained from an active market and represent a fair value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

 

***Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost):***

 

Fair values for the Corporation’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

 

The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are presented in the following table:

**Note 17 — Subsequent Events**

 

Generally accepted accounting principles establish general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued.  In preparing these consolidated financial statements, Riverview evaluated the events and transactions that occurred from the date of the financial statements through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and has not identified any events that require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

 

Riverview’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting Officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of Riverview’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2010, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-15.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting Officer) concluded that Riverview’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010, are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to Riverview that is required to be in Riverview’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act.

 

**Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting**

 

There have been no changes in Riverview’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Riverview’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

**Riverview Financial Corporation Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting**

 

The Corporation is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this annual report.  The financial statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.

 

Management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits.  Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified.  Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time.  Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

 

Management assessed the Corporation’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, 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 (“COSO”).  Based on this assessment, management concludes that as of December 31, 2010, its system of internal control

over financial reporting is effective and meets the criteria of the “Internal Control — Integrated Framework”.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Corporation as a smaller reporting company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Under this agreement, 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 Riverview’s return on equity.  The agreement is unfunded, with benefits to be paid from Riverview’s general assets.

 

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 upon a percentage of the Director’s final fee.  The benefit can be offered to a

Director upon termination of service on or after 65 years of age provided the Director has ten or more years of continuous service at the date of termination.  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.

Messrs Garst and Fox are parties to three-year term evergreen employment agreements, and Mrs. Wasko and Mr. Zwally are parties to one-year term evergreen employment contracts.  Each of the named executive officers are respectively parties to either a one-year or three-year term rolling employment agreement with Riverview Financial Corporation and Riverview National Bank, wherein on every anniversary date of the agreement, the agreement will be extended for another year unless notice of nonrenewal is given.  The agreements provide that the executives may participate in those employee benefit plans in which they are eligible.  It also provides that if the executives are terminated without cause or if after a change in control there is a reduction in salaries or benefits, or a change in their reporting responsibilities, duties or titles, the following will occur:

 

·                  Messrs Garst and Fox will receive three times their Annual Compensation as defined in the agreement in 24 monthly installments.  The executives will receive a continuation of all non-cash benefits for three years.

·                  Mrs. Wasko will receive one times her annual base salary, payable in 12 equal monthly installments.  She will also be reimbursed for the monthly premium paid to obtain substantially similar employee benefits for 12 months following the date of termination.

·                  Mr. Zwally will receive one times his Annual Compensation as defined in the agreement, payable in a lump sum.  He will also receive a continuation of all non-cash benefits for one year.

 

If the payments are determined to be parachute payments and the executives are subject to excise taxes, they will receive an additional cash payment in an amount such that the after-tax proceeds of such payment will be equal to the amount of the excise tax.

 

Riverview maintains an “Executive Deferred Compensation” program in which one of Riverview’s executives has signed an agreement.  This agreement, which was initiated during 2010, allows executives of Riverview to defer payment of their base salary, bonus and performance based compensation until a future date.  Under this agreement, 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 Riverview’s return on equity.  The agreement is unfunded, with benefits to be paid from Riverview’s general assets.

 

*Elements of Executive Compensation*

 

The corporation’s executive compensation and benefits package consists of direct compensation and corporate sponsored benefit plans, including base salary, bonuses, health and welfare benefits, profit sharing/401(k) plan, and stock option plans.  Each component is designed to contribute to a total package that is competitive, performance-based, valued by the executives of the corporation and align their interests with those of the shareholders.

 

Base salary

 

A competitive base salary is necessary to attract and retain talented executives.  The base salary for each named executive officer is determined based upon experience, expected personal performance, salary levels that are in place for comparable positions

within the industry, and responsibilities assumed by the named executive officers.  While an executive officer’s initial salary is determined by an assessment of competitive market levels, the major factor in determining base salary increases is individual performance.  Compensation Committee evaluates executive officer base salary levels on an annual basis.  The corporation usually grants annual increases to executives as well as increases needed to reflect changes in responsibility and the market competitive environment.

 

In establishing base salaries for 2010, the Compensation Committee considered the corporation’s financial performance in comparison with historical trends and peer group and market based industry data.  In consideration of the difficult economic conditions prevailing in 2010 and the corporation’s financial performance in spite of such conditions, and to maintain a competitive salary base for the executive officers, the Committee determined that an increase in base salary for 2010 was appropriate.

 

Bonuses

 

The annual bonus is tied to the corporation’s performance and is not only granted to the named executive officers but is granted to all employees of the corporation.  This award is made at the discretion of the Board of Director if the Board is of the opinion that such an award is merited.  The bonus is designed to align the employees’ interest with those of shareholders by linking the corporation’s performance to such a cash award.

 

Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan

 

Executive officers participate in the Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan, which is offered to all full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service and are at least 18 years of age.  This plan is a means for employees to contribute and save for their retirement, and it has a combined tax qualified savings feature and profit sharing feature for employees.  The corporation makes a contributory match to the plan for each participating employee of 4% of their respective compensation.  The corporation may also make a discretionary contribution annually to the plan based upon the corporation’s financial performance.  This discretionary contribution is designed to award employees for contributing to the corporation’s financial success.  Contributions are expressed as a percentage of base salary and executive officers receive the same percentage of salary as all other employees.  During 2010, the percentage of the discretionary contribution made to all eligible 401(k) participants was approximately 5%.

 

Stock Option Plan

 

In January 2009 the corporation implemented a nonqualified stock option plan as discussed below.  The purpose of the 2009 Stock Option Plan was to advance the development, growth and financial condition of the corporation by providing incentives through participation in the appreciation of the common stock of the corporation to secure, retain and motivate the corporation’s directors, officers and key employees and to align such person’s interests with those of the corporation’s shareholders.

 

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

 

In 2008, HNB Bancorp implemented a supplemental executive retirement plan covering Mr. Kirk D. Fox, who at the time was an Executive Vice President of HNB Bancorp.

The plan was assumed by the Corporation after the consolidation of HNB Bancorp with First Perry Bancorp, forming Riverview Financial Corporation.  Mr. Fox will receive $44,000 per year for 15 years beginning upon his termination of employment after age 65.  Upon his termination of employment, he shall become fully vested in the benefit.

 

Perquisites

 

The corporation provides an allowance for automobile use to Messrs. Garst, Fox and Zwally.  In addition, Mr. Zwally is reimbursed for his monthly membership dues to a country club of his choice.  These provisions are viewed as a normal and reasonable benefit in a highly competitive financial service industry.

 

**2009 Grants of Plan-Based Awards**

 

In January 2009 the Corporation implemented a nonqualified stock option plan.  The purpose of the 2009 Stock Option Plan was to advance the development, growth and financial condition of the Corporation by providing incentives through participation in the appreciation of the common stock of the Corporation to secure, retain and motivate the Corporation’s directors, officers and key employees and to align such person’s interests with those of the Corporation’s shareholders.  Shares of the Corporation’s common stock that may be issued or transferred under this plan shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 170,000 shares at a purchase price of $13.00 per share.  The vesting schedule is a seven year cliff, which means that the options are 100% vested in the seventh year following the grant date and the expiration date is ten years following the grant date.

 

The following table represents each stock option grant awarded to the named executive officer in 2009 and their total value calculated in accordance with the accounting standard relating to *Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation*.  In addition, the information presented also represents the stock options outstanding for each named executive as of December 31, 2010.

**ITEM 13****. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.**

 

Currently, the Board of Directors has twelve members.  Under the Nasdaq Stock Market standards for independence, the following nine directors meet the standards for independence:  Messrs. Alexander, Feld, Ford, Hite, Hoover, Kerwin, Lebo, Schrantz and Troutman. This constitutes more than a majority of our Board of Directors.  Only independent directors serve on our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominating Committee.

 

In determining the directors’ independence, the Board of Directors considered loan transactions between Riverview National Bank and the directors, their family members and businesses with whom they are associated, as well as any contributions made to non-profit organizations with whom they are associated.

 

The table below includes a description of other categories or types of transactions, relationships or arrangements considered by the Board (in addition to those listed above and

under the section entitled “Transactions with Directors and Executive Officers” below) in reaching its determination that the directors are independent.

 
| **Name**           | ** ** | **Independent** | ** ** | **Other Transactions/Relationships/Arrangements** |
|--------------------|------------|-----------------|------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| Mr. Alexander |       | Yes             |       | None                                                   |
| Mr. Feld      |       | Yes             |       | Legal   services — collection work                |
| Mr. Ford      |       | Yes             |       | Insurance   consulting                                 |
| Mr. Hite      |       | Yes             |       | None                                                   |
| Mr. Hoover    |       | Yes             |       | Payroll   processing services                          |
| Mr. Kerwin    |       | Yes             |       | Legal   services — contracts                      |
| Mr. Lebo      |       | Yes             |       | Insurance   consulting                                 |
| Mr. Schrantz  |       | Yes             |       | None                                                   |
| Mr. Troutman  |       | Yes             |       | None                                                   |

 

In each case, the Board determined that none of the transactions above impaired the independence of the director.

 

Some of Riverview Financial Corporation’s directors and executive officers and the companies with which they are associated were customers of, and had banking transactions with, Riverview Financial Corporation’s subsidiary bank, Riverview National Bank or predecessor banks, The First National Bank of Marysville and Halifax National Bank, during 2010.  All loans and loan commitments made to them and to their companies were made in the ordinary course of bank business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other customers of the bank, and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.  Riverview Financial Corporation’s subsidiary bank anticipates that they will enter into similar transactions in the future.

 

The Board of Directors must approve all related party transactions that are significant.  The director in question is excused from the board meeting at the time the decision is made.

 

**ITEM 14****. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.**

 

Prior to the formation of Riverview Financial Corporation on December 31, 2008, ParenteBeard LLC, formerly known as Beard Miller Company LLP, was the independent registered public accounting firm for First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and HNB Bancorp, Inc., individually, and subsequently became the independent registered public accounting firm for Riverview Financial Corporation during 2009.   On August 19, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the dismissal of ParenteBeard LLC as the corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm and approved the engagement of Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC as the corporation’s new independent registered public accounting firm.  Riverview Financial Corporation notified ParenteBeard LLC of the dismissal on August 20, 2009.
