AMERISERV FINANCIAL INC /PA/ Segments Disclosure

21. SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, identifies operating segments as components of a company which are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to develop strategy, allocate resources, and assess performance. The chief operating decision maker of the Company is our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO has authority over all divisions within the Company. The senior manager of each division reports directly to the CEO and all operating activities of the divisions, including financial results, budgets, and forecasts, are discussed with the CEO. While the CEO’s direct reports manage the day-to-day functions of each division, all strategic and major decision making actions must be approved by the CEO for all product lines and geographic areas where the Company has a presence.

While the Company monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed, and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. The Company provides a variety of consumer and commercial banking and wealth management services within southwestern Pennsylvania and Hagerstown, Maryland through its branch network. Its retail and commercial banking activities include the deposit-gathering branch franchise and lending activities such as residential mortgage loans, direct consumer loans, small business loans, commercial loans, business services, and CRE loans. Its wealth management activities include personal trust products and services such as personal portfolio investment management, estate planning and administration, custodial services and pre-need trusts, as well as the sale of mutual funds, annuities, and insurance products. Additionally, institutional trust products and services such as 401(k) plans, defined benefit and defined contribution employee benefit plans, and individual retirement accounts are offered. Wealth management activities also include the union collective investment funds (ERECT funds) which are designed to use union pension dollars in construction projects that utilize union labor.

Management has determined that the Company has one reportable segment consisting of Community Banking. While senior management within each division evaluates detailed financial data to monitor revenues and expenses, there are certain support cost centers, such as information technology, human resources, internal audit, and finance, that are not directly charged to each operating profit center making it difficult to determine a thorough and accurate measure of profitability. Further, the revenue generating divisions do not operate as separate silos but work cooperatively and

together, providing referrals and cross-selling opportunities to one another. It is not feasible to split the benefit of these efforts between or among the referral division and the product/service division. Finally, the Company’s Board of Directors evaluates performance on a macro level basis and reviews financial reports that describe the consolidated operating performance of all the divisions of the Company.

The accounting policies for the Community Banking segment are the same as those of our consolidated entity. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Consolidated net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results in assessing performance. The chief operating decision maker uses two primary measures to gauge performance: earnings per share (EPS) and return on average assets (ROA). EPS measures the Company’s profitability in relation to the number of common shares outstanding. ROA measures how efficiently the Company generates income based on its total assets. The chief operating decision maker also uses consolidated net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s peers.
