REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Retirement and Thrift Plan Committee

S&T Bank

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Thrift Plan for Employees of S&T Bank as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the 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 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 Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 the Plan at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Thrift Plan for Employees of S&T Bank

Notes to Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A description of significant accounting policies of the Thrift Plan for Employees of S&T Bank (the Plan) is presented below.

General

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Trusteed Assets

The investment assets are held in trust with the Wealth Management Department of S&T Bank (the Trustee).

Valuation of Investments

Investments are stated at estimated fair value. Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. Investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the average of the last reported bid and asked prices. Short-term investment funds and mutual funds are valued based on quoted market prices as of the end of the plan year.

Realized Gains and Losses

Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are computed principally using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Description of the Plan

The Plan was adopted effective May 1, 1984 and made retroactive to January 1, 1984 by S&T Bank (Plan Sponsor and Employer).

The Plan is a vehicle for accepting employee and Employer tax-deferred contributions. Eligible employees (participants) determine the amount of their deferred cash contributions to the Plan. Employer matching contributions are equal to 50% of the employee contributions, not to exceed 3% of compensation. Employer discretionary contributions are determined by the Board of Directors of the Plan Sponsor. Effective January 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to disallow employee after-tax contributions.

The Plan was amended, effective December 30, 1988, to include an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP covers substantially all regular employees under the Plan. ESOP contributions are invested primarily in qualified securities (common stock) of S&T Bancorp, Inc. (Bancorp), the parent company of the Plan Sponsor. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no unreleased shares from the Plan.

Effective October 1, 1998, the Plan was amended and restated to permit eligible employees to participate in the Plan upon employment with Bancorp. The Plan was also amended to include automatic participation of eligible participants unless participants elect otherwise. The Plan was also amended to comply with the Small Business Job Protections Act of 1996 and the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. A favorable determination letter was received on August 4, 1999.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Plan was amended and restated in its entirety to incorporate revisions of applicable federal regulation. In addition, the restatement revised the hardship distribution rules. A favorable determination letter was received on September 10, 2002.

Effective March 1, 2004, the Plan was amended and restated in its entirety to include previous amendments adopted since its last restatement, including amendments for the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA"). In addition, this restatement incorporated the rules regarding distributions which were mandated under the provisions of the final and temporary regulations issued under section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, and makes a lump sum distribution mandatory at age 701/2.

Effective January 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to permit Employer matching contributions on catch-up contributions made by participants who are at least age 50 by the end of the plan year.

2. Description of the Plan (continued)

Effective March 28, 2005, the Plan was amended and restated in its entirety to incorporate mandatory rollovers where if the value of a terminated participant's account is at least $1,000 but not more that $5,000, and if the participant fails to make an affirmative election to either receive a lump sum payment or directly rollover the balance to an eligible plan, the participant's account will be transferred to an individual retirement plan selected by the Thrift Plan committee.

Individual accounts are maintained for each participant. Participants may elect to invest their contributions in one or more various investment options. Employer matching contributions are invested in the same proportions. The Employer discretionary contributions are made at the direction of the Thrift Plan Committee of the Plan Sponsor. Participants are permitted to transfer all balances in their accounts between investment options.

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, Employer matching contributions and allocations of other Employer contributions and fund earnings, which are allocated based on the participant's compensation and the participant's fund balances, respectively. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the amount aggregated in the participant's account. Aggregate participant account balances differ from net assets available for benefits only by routine accruals.

Participants are immediately vested in all amounts credited to their accounts. On termination of service, participants may elect either to receive a lump-sum distribution from their accounts, or to leave their funds in the Plan, provided their balance is at least $5,000, as described earlier.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, benefit payments in the amount of $80,083 and $332,276, respectively, were owed to participants who had elected to withdraw from the Plan, but had not yet been paid.

The Plan Sponsor reserves the right to amend or discontinue the Plan. In the event of a termination of the Plan, plan assets would be used for the benefit of participants and their beneficiaries, as prescribed by law.

For more complete information about the Plan including participation, vesting, and benefit provisions, refer to the Summary Plan Description, which can be obtained from the Plan Sponsor.

4. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

Legal, accounting, and other administrative fees are paid by the Plan Sponsor. The Plan is administered by the Plan Sponsor. The Wealth Management Department of S&T Bank acts as trustee and safekeeping agent.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, the Plan held an aggregate of 977,860 and 973,129 shares of S&T Bancorp, Inc. common stock valued at $36,004,805 and $36,677,232.

5. Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 10, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Sponsor believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified, and the related trust is tax-exempt.

6. 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.
