REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Trustees of AmeriServ Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Johnstown, Pennsylvania


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of AmeriServ Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of AmeriServ Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of AmeriServ Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule, Schedule H, Line 4i, Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2013, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the United States Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of AmeriServ Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan’s management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

AMERISERV FINANCIAL 401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following brief description of the AmeriServ Financial 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a more comprehensive description of the Plan’s provisions.

General


The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering the employees of AmeriServ Financial, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries AmeriServ Financial Bank, and AmeriServ Trust and Financial Services, (the “Companies”), including members of the United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO-CLC, Local Union 2653-06 (the “Union”).  Following the amendment to close the defined benefit plan to employees hired after December 31, 2012, the Plan was amended, effective January 1, 2013.  Union employees who have attained the age of 21 and the earlier of completion of 12 consecutive months of service with at least 500 hours of service are eligible to participate, but are not eligible to receive an employer discretionary contribution until achieving 1,000 hours of service.  Non-union employees hired and rehired after December 31, 2012, are eligible to participate upon hire.  The Plan includes a 401(k) before-tax savings feature, which permits participants to defer compensation under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended.  The Plan is not covered by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

Contributions

Employees hired prior to December 31, 2012, may elect to contribute, through the 401(k) feature, 1 percent to 100 percent of their base salaries each period to the maximum amount permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Non-union employees hired or rehired after December 31, 2012, will be provided an employer matching contribution equal 50% of the first 6% of deferred compensation.  These employees, in addition to all Union employees, will receive a nonelective contribution or 4% of their base pay plus commissions.   Employees may elect to have their contributions, in 5 percent increments, invested in one or more of 33 mutual funds, 7 common/collective portfolios, 2 money market/cash equivalent  funds, and the AmeriServ Financial, Inc. common or preferred stock administered by the Plan’s trustee.  The diversified mutual fund investment options include bond and government securities funds and various U.S. and foreign stock funds.  Additionally, participants can elect to have a portion of their portfolio invested in annuity accounts, which are restricted based on age and minimum investment thresholds.

The Companies have the right to make a discretionary contribution to the Plan.  Any contribution to be made will be on an annual basis, and such contribution is allocated as a percentage of compensation of eligible participants for the year.  For non-union employees hired before December 31, 2012 the match is 50 percent of the first 2 percent of pretax 401(k) contributions. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans.

6

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (continued)

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocation of the company’s contribution (if applicable) plus plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested balance.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon.  Vesting in the Companies’ contributions in the Plan is based on completion of credited service years.  A credited service year is considered one in which the participant completed at least 1,000 hours of service.  Employees become 100 percent vested after three years of credited service.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their account balance.  The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest rates that are commensurate with the five year AmeriServ Financial published home equity rate on the day the loan is requested.  Principal and interest is paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions. Interest rates on the notes receivable ranged from 2.89% to 13.24%, while the maturity dates ranged from September 30, 2014 to November 15, 2018.

Payment of Benefits

On termination of service, a participant will receive a lump sum amount equal to the vested value of his or her account.  The Plan also provides for normal retirement benefits to be paid in the form of a lump sum upon reaching age 65 or termination of employment and has provisions for deferred, death, disability and retirement benefits, and hardship withdrawals.

Forfeitures

Forfeitures of a participant’s non-vested account shall be restored upon rehire if such rehire happens at any time during his or her fifth consecutive one-year break in service. At the end of the Plan year in which the former participant incurs his or her fifth consecutive one-year break in service, the forfeitures held on behalf of the participant will be allocated to all participants eligible to share in the allocations in the same proportion that each participant’s account balance bears to all account balances for such year.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the forfeiture account had a balance of $9,110 and $16,604 respectively.  Forfeitures totaling $8,792 and $9,098 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were reallocated to participants’ accounts.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Accounting Estimates

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition

Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The Plan’s Pension Committee determines the Plan’s valuation policies utilizing information provided by investment advisors, custodians, and insurance company.  See Note 7 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchase and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the plan document.  No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.  If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

Excess Contributions Payable

Amounts payable to participants for contributions in excess of amounts allowed by the IRS are recorded as a liability with a corresponding reduction to contributions.  There were no contributions payable as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.

8


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Administrative Expenses

Certain administrative functions are performed by officers and employees of the Companies.  No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan.  Certain other administrative expenses are paid directly by the Companies.  Such costs amounted to $119,307 and $95,360 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.    

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts

Certain comparative amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current-year classifications.  Such classifications had no effect the net increase in plan assets or net assests available for benefits.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

The Plan investments are administered by AmeriServ Trust and Financial Services (the “Trustee”).  

The Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in value by $4,090,774  and $2,411,734 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Plan invests in the Federated Capital Preservation Fund, which invests in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. These investment contracts are recorded at fair value; however, since these contracts are fully benefit-responsive, an adjustment is reflected in the statements of net assets available for benefits to present these investments at contract value.  Certain events could limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuers of the contracts held by the Federated Capital Preservation Fund. These events include, but are not limited to, layoffs, bankruptcy, plant closings, plan termination, mergers, and early retirement incentives. These events may cause liquidation of all or a portion of a contract at a market value adjustment. As of December 31, 2013, the occurrence of any of these events, which could limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants, is not considered probable.

For the Federated Capital Preservation Fund, participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment daily at contract value without any redemption notice or restrictions.  Plan level initiated transactions require a twelve month redemption notice in order to withdraw at full book value.  Plan level initiated transactions with less than a twelve month redemption notice may incur an adjustment to book value.

The average yield for the Federated Capital Preservation Fund based on actual earnings for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 1.15% and 1.64% respectively.  This represents the annualized earnings of all investments in the Federated Capital Preservation Fund divided by the average balance of all investments, at fair value, in the Federated Capital Preservation Fund for year ended December 31, 2013.


10


NOTE 4 - PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Companies have the right, under the Plan, to discontinue their contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of termination of the Plan, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

NOTE 5 - TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Companies that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) by letter dated April 9, 2012.  The plan has been amended since receiving the opinion letter, the prototype sponsor and the Plan administrator believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.  The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010.

NOTE 6 – PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of common/collective funds that are managed by the Trustee of the Plan. The balance of these funds is $16,086,722 and $13,018,502 representing 53% and 52% of net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The Plan also invests in the Plan Sponsor’s common and preferred stock.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Plan held 111,414 and 138,546 shares of AmeriServ Financial Inc. common stock and 18,052 and 19,475 shares of AmeriServ Financial Capital Trust preferred stock respectively.  Dividends in the amount of $38,977 and $31,247 were received on preferred stock for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Therefore, related transactions qualify as related party transactions. All other transactions which may be considered parties-in-interest transactions relate to normal Plan management and administrative services and related payment of fees.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Plan provides enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value.  Disclosures follow a hierarchal framework that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


Level I:

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.







11


NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)


Level II:

Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.  If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level II input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.


Level III:

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.



The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.


The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used for the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012.  


Common and preferred stocks: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.


Mutual funds: Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund.  Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value (NAV) and to transact at that price.  The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.


Common/Collective Trusts: Valued at the NAV of shares held by the plan at year end adjusted for any cash held for liquidity purposes and any fees imposed by the fund. The net asset value per unit is determined by dividing the net assets by the number of units outstanding on the day of valuation. In accordance with the terms of the Plan of Trust, the net asset value of the fund is determined daily. Units are issued and redeemed daily, at the daily net asset value. Also the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains on investments are not distributed.  The fair value of the Federated Capital Preservation Fund, which primarily holds investments in fully benefit-responsive contracts, is calculated by the issuer using a discounted cash flow model, which considers (i) recent fee bids as determined by recognized dealers, (ii) discount rate, and (iii) the duration of the underlying portfolio securities. The fair value of the Plan’s investment in the Federated Capital Preservation Fund is based on its proportionate ownership of the underlying investments. There are no imposed restrictions as to the redemption of these investments.


12


NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)


Money Market/Cash Equivalent:  These investments attempt to stabilize (NAV of its shares at $1.00) by valuing their portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. A market-based NAV per share is calculated on a periodic basis.  The issuers do not guarantee that the NAV will always remain at $1.00 per share.  Shares can be redeemed on a same day basis but only directly from the issuer.  Such transactions do not constitute an active market.


Variable Annuities:  Valuation based on the daily closing value of the sub accounts utilized in the individual annuity contract.  Variable Annuities are registered products and are subject to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), SEC, and state regulations.  


Fixed/Index Annuities: Valued based on method outlined in the annuity contract, as calculated by the annuity provider, based on observable inputs through the review of existing contracts and readily  available financial information available on the websites of the issuing financial institutions.  


The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.  


The following tables sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.  Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced liquidation or sale.  If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

Investments in mutual funds, money market funds, annuities, notes receivable from participants, common/collective funds, AmeriServ Financial, Inc. common stock and AmeriServ Financial Capital Trust preferred stock, contributions receivable, accrued interest receivable, cash and cash equivalents would be considered financial instruments. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value.

NOTE 9 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
