1. BASIS OF INTERIM PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens & Northern Corporation and
its subsidiaries, Citizens & Northern Bank (C&N Bank), Canisteo Valley Corporation, Bucktail Life
Insurance Company and Citizens & Northern Investment Corporation (collectively, the Corporation).
The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of Canisteo Valley Corporations
wholly-owned subsidiary, First State Bank, and C&N Banks wholly-owned subsidiary, C&N Financial

The financial information included herein, with the exception of the consolidated balance sheet
dated December 31, 2006, is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the interim periods.
Results reported for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 might not be
indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2007.
This document has not been reviewed or confirmed for accuracy or relevance by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other regulatory agency.
2. PER SHARE DATA
Net income per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
The number of shares used in calculating net income and cash dividends per share reflect the
retroactive effect of stock dividends for all periods presented. The following data show the
amounts used in computing net income per share and the weighted average number of shares of
dilutive stock options. As shown in the table that follows, diluted earnings per share is computed
using weighted average common shares outstanding, plus weighted-average common shares available
from the exercise of all dilutive stock options, less the number of shares that could be
repurchased with the proceeds of stock option exercises based on the average share price of the
Corporations common stock during the period.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses,
gains and losses be included in net income. Although unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the
balance sheet, changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, along with
net income, are components of comprehensive income. Also, effective December 31, 2006, the
Corporation applied Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. SFAS No. 158 requires the
Corporation to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of defined benefit postretirement
plans as a liability or asset in the balance sheet. Beginning in 2007, changes in accumulated
other comprehensive income attributable to the impact of SFAS No. 158 on defined benefit plans are
included in other comprehensive income.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis,
and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is
given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2)
the 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.
The unrealized losses on debt securities as of September 30, 2007 are primarily the result of
volatility in interest rates. Based on the Corporations ability and intent to hold the securities
for the foreseeable future, and managements assessment of the credit worthiness of the issuers,
management believes the Corporations debt securities at September 30, 2007 were not
other-than-temporarily impaired.
Unrealized losses on marketable equity securities are mainly from investments in common stocks of
banking corporations. Management believes that recent declines in market prices of many bank
stocks have been caused by media reports regarding sub-prime mortgage losses and similar events
that have mainly affected mortgage banking operations and very large financial institutions.
Accordingly, as of September 30, 2007, management believes the impairment of the Corporations
marketable equity securities to be temporary.

CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
5. DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for employees meeting certain
age and length of service requirements. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and the
average annual compensation during the highest five consecutive years.
On October 18, 2007, the Corporations Board of Directors adopted amendments to the defined benefit
pension plan to freeze and terminate the Plan, effective December 31, 2007. The Corporation
expects that it would fund and settle its obligations under the Plan sometime in 2008. In
connection with freezing and terminating the Plan, the Corporation has also amended the Plan to
make lump sum distributions available to all active participants and vested former employees. The
Corporation expects to record a gain or loss on curtailment of the Plan in the fourth quarter 2007,
and a settlement gain or loss in 2008. The amount of curtailment gain or loss in 2007 and
settlement gain or loss in 2008 has not yet been determined.
In addition, the Corporation sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides
postretirement medical benefits and life insurance to employees who meet certain age and length of
service requirements. This plan contains a cost-sharing feature, which causes participants to pay
for all future increases in costs related to benefit coverage. Accordingly, actuarial assumptions
related to health care cost trend rates do not affect the liability balance at September 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006, and will not affect the Corporations future expenses.
The Corporation uses a December 31 measurement date for its plans.
The components of net periodic benefit costs from these defined benefit plans are as follows:

Due to freezing the defined benefit pension plan, management expects there will be no minimum
required employer contribution to the defined benefit pension plan for 2007. Through the third
quarter of 2007, the Corporation has funded postretirement contributions totaling $44,000, with
estimated annual postretirement contributions, net of anticipated reimbursements from the Medicare
(Part D) program, of $33,000 expected in 2007 for the full year.
11
CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
As a result of the acquisition of Citizens Bancorp, Inc. (see Note 8), the Corporation assumed the
Citizens Trust Company Retirement Plan, a defined benefit pension plan for which benefit accruals
and participation were frozen in 2002. The Corporation used a September 30 measurement date for
this plan in 2007, and will change to a December 31 measurement date in 2008. The Corporations
net periodic pension benefit recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1,000.
6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
In January 2007, the Corporation granted options to purchase a total of 43,385 shares of common
stock through its Stock Incentive and Independent Directors Stock Incentive Plans. The exercise
price for these options is $22.325 per share, which was the market price as of the date of grant.
The Corporation neither modified, nor issued, any new options in 2006.
SFAS No. 123R requires the Corporation to record stock option expense based on estimated fair value
calculated using an option valuation model. The fair value of each option granted in 2007 was
estimated to be $4.46 per share as of the grant date. In calculating the fair value, the
Corporation utilized the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
|
|
|
Volatility 23% |
|
|
|
|
Expected option lives 8 years |
|
|
|
|
Risk-free interest rate 4.69% |
|
|
|
|
Dividend yield 3.61% |
In calculating the estimated fair value of the 2007 stock option awards, the Corporation utilized
its historical volatility and dividend yield over the immediately prior 8-year period to estimate
future levels of volatility and dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate was based on the
published yield of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury strips with an 8-year maturity as of the grant dates.
The 8-year term was based on managements estimate of the average term for all options issued under
both plans.
In calculating stock option expense for the 2007 stock option awards, management assumed a 23%
forfeiture rate for options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan, and a 0% forfeiture rate for
the Directors Stock Incentive Plan. These estimated forfeiture rates were determined based on the
Corporations historical experience.
Also, effective in January 2007, the Corporation awarded a total of 5,835 shares of restricted
stock under the Stock Incentive and Independent Directors Stock Incentive Plans. Compensation cost
related to restricted stock is recognized based on the market price of the stock at the grant date
over the vesting period.
Total stock-based compensation expense is as follows:

7. CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Corporation may be subject to pending and threatened lawsuits
in which claims for monetary damages could be asserted. In managements opinion, the Corporations
financial position and results of operations would not be materially affected by the outcome of
such pending legal proceedings.
12
CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
8. MERGER
On May 1, 2007, the Corporation completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding voting stock
of Citizens Bancorp, Inc. (Citizens.) Accordingly, the results of operations for the former
Citizens have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from that date
forward. In connection with the transaction, Citizens Trust Company, the banking subsidiary of
Citizens, has merged with and into Citizens & Northern Bank (C&N Bank), a subsidiary of the
Corporation. The Corporations management believes the acquisition of Citizens provides two
significant benefits: (1) extension of its geographic market for banking services, which should
provide growth opportunities, and (2) addition of management personnel with background and skills
complementary to the Corporations management personnel.
The aggregate acquisition price was $28,391,000, which included cash of $14,323,000 and 636,967
shares of the Corporations common stock valued at $14,068,000. The value of the stock issued was
determined based on the average market price of the shares over the seven days before and after the
date the terms of the acquisition agreement were negotiated and publicly announced, adjusted for
the values of Citizens shares held prior to the merger announcement and Corporation shares that
were held by Citizens.
The Corporation is in the process of obtaining final valuations on loans, intangible assets,
premises and equipment, deposits and other liabilities; accordingly, allocation of the purchase
price is subject to modification in the future. Information regarding the purchase price and
estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date is
provided as supplemental information in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Following are
pro forma income statement amounts, without adjustment for the material nonrecurring items
described below, assuming the acquisition was made on January 1, 2006:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements in this section and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are
forward-looking statements. Citizens & Northern Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements, which are not historical facts, are based on certain assumptions and describe future
plans, business objectives and expectations, and are generally identifiable by the use of words
such as, should, likely, expect, plan, anticipate, target, forecast, and goal.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to
predict, may be beyond managements control and could cause results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material,
adverse impact on the operations and future prospects of the Corporation include, but are not
limited to, the following:
|
|
changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal Reserve Board and the U. S.
Government, particularly related to changes in interest rates |
|
|
|
changes in general economic conditions |
|
|
|
legislative or regulatory changes |
|
|
|
downturn in demand for loan, deposit and other financial services in the Corporations
market area |
|
|
|
increased competition from other banks and non-bank providers of financial services |
|
|
|
technological changes and increased technology-related costs |
|
|
|
changes in accounting principles, or the application of generally accepted accounting
principles. |
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and
undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
REFERENCES TO 2007 AND 2006
Unless otherwise noted, all references to 2007 in the following discussion of operating results
are intended to mean the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and similarly, references to 2006
relate to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
EARNINGS OVERVIEW
Net Income was $7,242,000 in the first nine months of 2007, down 22.1% from the first nine months
of 2006. Net Income Per Share was $0.84 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2007, down
24.3% from Net Income Per Share of $1.11 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2006.
Return on average assets was 0.83% in the first nine months of 2007 and 1.09% in the first nine
months of 2006. Return on average equity was 7.02% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
9.45% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cash dividends declared were $0.72 per share in
both 2007 and 2006.
Earnings for the first nine months of 2007 were impacted by a loss (net of tax) on mortgage-backed
securities of $1,352,000. These securities were classified as other-than-temporarily impaired in
the second quarter 2007, and written down through earnings by $1,175,000, net of tax. The
securities were sold in July 2007, with a further loss of $177,000 (net of tax) realized in the
third quarter. The impact per share of the loss from these securities, excluding the positive
effect of investing the sale proceeds at higher yields, was $0.16 (basic and diluted) for the first
nine months of 2007.
On May 1, 2007, the acquisition of Citizens Bancorp, Inc. became effective. Citizens Bancorp, Inc.
was the parent company of Citizens Trust Company, with offices in Coudersport, Port Allegany and
Emporium, PA. The Citizens Trust Company operations, which are now part of Citizens & Northern
Bank, contributed significantly to growth in total assets, including loans, as well as the growth
in deposits and trust assets under management, and increases in revenues and expenses in 2007.
14
CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
Significant income statement changes between 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
|
|
|
Net interest margin increased $1,441,000, or 5.7%, in 2007 as compared to 2006. Most of
the increase in the net interest margin between years occurred in the third quarter, since
the net interest margin for the third quarter 2007 was $1,188,000 higher than for the third
quarter 2006. Factors contributing to recent improvements in the net interest margin
include: (1) the acquisition of Citizens Trust Company, which resulted in increased
interest and fees on loans, and provided funding to help pay off borrowings, (2) a change
in the shape of the yield curve, which has become slightly positive after remaining flat or
inverted throughout 2006 and the first half of 2007, allowing the Corporation a few
opportunities to earn a positive spread from borrowing and investing activities, and (3)
the increase in yield on the investment portfolio resulting from the restructuring
described above. |
|
|
|
Noninterest revenue increased $1,684,000 (28.4%) in 2007 over 2006. Trust and Financial
Management revenue increased $722,000 (40.5%). Other significant increases in noninterest
revenue included: service charges on deposits, which increased $301,000, increases of
$197,000 for service charges and fees, including letter of credit and ATM-related fees, as
well as increases of $415,000 in other operating income, which includes debit card fees,
credit card (as a third party agent), a gain from sale of a restricted stock, and certain
training grant revenues. |
|
|
|
|
Net realized losses (pre-tax) from sales of securities amounted to $79,000 in 2007, as
compared to pre-tax securities gains of $4,250,000 in 2006. Excluding the $2,048,000
pre-tax loss on impaired securities described above, securities gains for 2007, totaled
$1,969,000, down $2,281,000 from 2006. Most of the gains realized in both periods were
from sales of bank stocks. |
|
|
|
|
Noninterest expense increased $1,668,000 (7.1%) in 2007 as compared to 2006. The
increase in expenses reflects the addition of Citizens Trust Company. Also, professional
fees of $221,000 have been incurred in 2007 related to the computer core system conversions
of the First State Bank (New York) and Citizens Trust Company operations. |
|
|
|
|
The income tax provision decreased $560,000, to $1,695,000 in 2007 from $2,255,000 in
2006, as a result of lower pre-tax earnings. |
Third Quarter 2007
Net Income in the third quarter 2007 was $2,848,000, down $425,000 (13.0%) from the third quarter
2006, and $912,000 (47.1%) higher than second quarter 2007. Net Income Per Share (basic and
diluted) was $0.32 in the third quarter 2007, as compared to $0.39 (basic and diluted) in the third
quarter 2006, and $0.22 (basic and diluted) in the second quarter 2007. Net realized losses
(pre-tax) from sales of securities amounted to $68,000 in the third quarter 2007, as compared to
pre-tax securities gains of $1,602,000 in the third quarter 2006. Third quarter 2007 earnings were
positively affected by improvements in the net interest margin and increases in noninterest
revenue, as referred to in the discussion of year-to-date results above. In addition to securities
losses, third quarter earnings were negatively affected by one time costs totaling $427,000,
including professional fees associated with computer core system conversions and a loss on the
disposition of telephone equipment.

Prospects for the Fourth Quarter 2007
Management has begun several initiatives designed to increase revenues and reduce expenses over the
remainder of 2007 and in 2008. Management expects some of the initiatives to immediately increase
revenues or decrease expenses, while other changes may result in an up front cost or expense,
followed by future improvements. As part of these initiatives, full-time equivalent staffing is
being reduced approximately 10% during the last half of 2007. Looking beyond the end of 2007,
management expects that expansion of the Corporations footprint including in 2005 through 2007
the construction or acquisition of banking facilities in Lycoming County, PA, New York State (First
State Bank) and most recently, the Citizens Trust Company locations will produce opportunities
to increase profitability by increasing loans, deposits and Trust and Financial Management volume.
As referred to in Note 5 to the financial statements, in October 2007 the Corporations Board of
Directors adopted amendments to the defined benefit pension plan to freeze and terminate the Plan,
effective December 31, 2007. The purpose of freezing and terminating the Plan is to control and
reduce future employee benefit expenses. Management expects to present an amendment to the
Corporations Employee Savings & Retirement Plan (a 401(k) plan), for Board approval, which would
increase employer matching contributions under that plan in 2008. Based on the current number and
composition of employees and 401(k) plan participation, the increase in expense in 2008 associated
with the 401(k) Plan will be approximately $150,000, which is less than the ongoing expense
($495,000 for the year ending December 31, 2007) that would be expected from maintaining the
defined benefit pension plan. The Corporation expects to record a gain or loss on curtailment of
the Plan in the fourth quarter 2007, and a settlement gain or loss in 2008. The amount of
curtailment gain or loss in 2007 and settlement gain or loss in 2008 has not yet been determined.
A major variable that affects the Corporations earnings is securities gains and losses,
particularly from bank stocks and other equity securities. Managements decisions regarding sales
of securities are based on a variety of factors, with the overall goal of maximizing portfolio
return over a long-term horizon. It is difficult to predict, with much precision, the amount of
net securities gains and losses that will be realized in the fourth quarter 2007.

CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect many of the reported
amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change is the determination of
the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate
and reasonable. The Corporations methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is
described in a separate section later in Managements Discussion and Analysis. Given the very
subjective nature of identifying and valuing loan losses, it is likely that well-informed
individuals could make materially different assumptions, and could, therefore, calculate a
materially different allowance value. While management uses available information to recognize
losses on loans, changes in economic conditions may necessitate revisions in future years. In
addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Corporations allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the
Corporation to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of information
available to them at the time of their examination.
Another material estimate is the calculation of fair values of the Corporations debt securities.
The Corporation receives estimated fair values of debt securities from an independent valuation
service, or from brokers. In developing these fair values, the valuation service and the brokers
use estimates of cash flows, based on historical performance of similar instruments in similar
interest rate environments. Based on experience, management is aware that estimated fair values of
debt securities tend to vary among brokers and other valuation
services. Accordingly, when selling debt securities, management typically obtains price quotes
from more than one source. The large majority of the Corporations securities are classified as
available-for-sale. Accordingly, these securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated
balance sheet, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported separately
through accumulated other comprehensive income (included in stockholders equity).
NET INTEREST MARGIN
The Corporations primary source of operating income is represented by the net interest margin.
The net interest margin is equal to the difference between the amounts of interest income and
interest expense. Tables II, III and IV include information regarding the Corporations net
interest margin for 2007 and 2006. In each of these tables, the amounts of interest income earned
on tax-exempt securities and loans have been adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis.
Accordingly, the net interest margin amounts reflected in these tables exceed the amounts presented
in the consolidated financial statements. The discussion that follows is based on amounts in the
related Tables.
The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was $28,193,000 in 2007, $995,000 (3.7%) higher
than in 2006. As shown in Table IV, net increases in volume had the effect of increasing net
interest income $1,152,000 in 2007 over 2006 while interest rate changes had the effect of
decreasing net interest income $157,000. Increases in volume of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities were significantly affected by the acquisition of Citizens Trust
Company on May 1, 2007. The most significant components of the volume changes in 2007 were an
increase of $3,475,000 attributable to loan growth and a decrease in interest expense on short-term
and long-term borrowings of $991,000, partially offset by lower interest income of $2,031,000 from
available-for-sale securities and an increase in interest expense of $880,000 on certificates of
deposit. As presented in Table III, the Interest Rate Spread (excess of average rate of return
on interest-bearing assets over average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities) was 2.89% in
the first nine months of 2007, as compared to 2.90% for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2.93%
in the first nine months of 2006.

CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
INTEREST INCOME AND EARNING ASSETS
Interest income totaled $53,423,000 in 2007, an increase of 7.1% over 2006. Interest and fees from
loans increased $5,131,000, or 15.4%, while income from available-for-sale securities decreased
$1,623,000, or 10.0%. As indicated in Table III, total average available-for-sale securities in 2007 fell to
$347,617,000, a decrease of $44,125,000 or 11.3% from 2006. Throughout the calendar year 2006 and
the first nine months of 2007, proceeds from sales and maturities of securities were used, in part,
to help fund loans and pay off borrowings. Within the available-for-sale securities portfolio, the
average balance of municipal bonds shrunk by $32,566,000 in 2007 as compared to 2006. Management
decided in mid-2006 to reduce the Corporations investment in municipal bonds in order to reduce
the alternative minimum tax liability. The average rate of return on available-for-sale securities
was 5.62% for 2007, in line with the 5.55% return for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 5.55% in
the first nine months of 2006.
The average balance of gross loans increased 10.1% to $723,794,000 in 2007 from $657,447,000 in the
first nine months of 2006. Excluding Citizens Trust Company, average loans increased 1.0% despite
the payoff of $22,475,000 associated with one significant commercial relationship. The Corporation
has experienced an increase in average balances of both residential mortgage and commercial loans
in 2007. The average rate of return on loans was 7.10% in 2007, up from 6.81% for the year ended
December 31, 2006 and 6.77% in the first nine months of 2006.
INTEREST EXPENSE AND INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES
Interest expense rose $2,553,000, or 11.3%, to $25,230,000 in 2007 from $22,677,000 in 2006. Table
III shows that the overall cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities rose to 3.72% in 2007,
from 3.44% for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 3.38% in the first nine months of 2006.
From Table III, you can calculate that total average deposits (interest-bearing and
noninterest-bearing) increased 7.5%, to $809,001,000 in 2007 from $752,575,000 in the first nine
months of 2006. In July 2007, the Citizens Trust Company operations were converted to the same
operational platform as Citizens & Northern Bank, and $13,343,000 of money market deposits was
transferred to another financial institution. Management utilizes a third-party provider for Trust
& Financial Management money market allocations primarily for interest rate risk management
reasons. Excluding acquired Citizens Trust Company deposit accounts, net of the transfers above,
total average deposits increased 0.7%. The average rate incurred on certificates of deposit has
increased significantly in 2007 over the first half of 2006, to 4.46% from 3.87%. Also, the
average rate on Individual Retirement Accounts increased significantly, to 4.54% in 2007 from 4.18%
in the first nine months of 2006.
The combined average total short-term and long-term borrowed funds decreased $34,534,000 to
$211,535,000 in 2007 from $246,069,000 in the first nine months of 2006. With the yield curve
being flat or inverted throughout 2006 and the first half of 2007, opportunities have been limited
for earning a positive spread by purchasing or holding investment securities as compared to
interest costs associated with maintaining borrowed funds. Accordingly, the Corporation paid off
many borrowings as they matured. The average rate on long-term borrowings was 4.11% in 2007, up
from 3.53% in the first nine months of 2006.

Securities gains and losses are discussed in the Earnings Overview section of Managements
Discussion and Analysis. Excluding securities gains and losses, total noninterest income increased
$1,684,000 or 28.4%, in 2007 compared to 2006. Items of significance are as follows:
|
|
|
Trust and financial management revenue increased $722,000 (40.5%), including an increase
of 24.5% excluding Citizens Trust Company, and a contribution to revenue from Citizens Trust
Company of $285,000. Trust and financial management revenues are heavily affected by the
amount of assets under management. Assets under management have increased 38.1% over the
last 12 months, to $682,428,000 at September 30, 2007. The increase in assets under
management includes the impact of the addition of Citizens Trust Company, as well as
significant appreciation in equity markets. Excluding Citizens Trust Company, assets under
management increased 17.2% at September 30, 2007 compared to the same date in the previous
year. |
|
|
|
|
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $301,000, or 19.7%, in 2007 as compared to
2006, including $257,000 from Citizens Trust Company. |
|
|
|
|
Service charges and fees increased $197,000 in 2007 over 2006. Among the types of fees
included in this category are letter of credit fees, which increased $106,000 in 2007
because of a few large, commercial transactions, and ATM-related fees, which increased
$88,000 in 2007 over 2006. |
|
|
|
|
Other operating income increased $415,000, or 28.0%, in 2007 over 2006. Included in this
category was an increase of $60,000 in fees from credit card agent bank activities. In the
first five months of 2006, the Corporation was in the final stages of processing
transactions for the credit card portfolio that was sold in the fourth quarter 2005.
Accordingly, costs associated with processing and exiting that activity, net of interchange
and other fees, were charged against a liability that had been established in 2005 for the
estimated remaining servicing cost. Since the Corporation no longer services credit card
transactions, fees received in 2007 have been included in other operating income. Also
included in this category were increases in interchange fees related to debit card
transactions of $92,000, increases in broker-dealer revenues of $86,000, the gain on sale of
a restricted equity security of $80,000, as well as net losses on trading securities of
$24,000. |

Total noninterest expense increased $1,668,000, or 7.1%, in 2007 over 2006. Significant items
include:
|
|
|
Salaries and wages increased $658,000, or 6.5%. Approximately $524,000 of the increase
is attributable to the addition of Citizens Trust Company. Also, this category includes an
increase in stock-based compensation totaling $164,000. As described in more detail in
Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation made awards of stock
options and restricted stock in 2007, but did not make any such awards in 2006. Stock
option expense has been recognized over the six-month vesting period for the 2007 awards. |
|
|
|
|
Total pensions and other employee benefits expense increased only $39,000, or 1.2%. In
2007, the Corporation received a refund from its health insurance provider based on
favorable claims experience from a prior year, and health insurance expense is $225,000
lower in 2007 than 2006. Excluding health insurance, the cost of pensions and other
employee benefits is 10.4% higher in 2007 than in 2006, including increases attributable to
higher numbers of employees and other factors. |
|
|
|
|
Occupancy expense increased $274,000, or 16.3%. In March 2006, the administration
building in Wellsboro and the Old Lycoming Township branch were opened. The increase in
occupancy expense associated with operating those properties for 9 months in 2007, as
opposed to 7 months in 2006, was $146,000. Also, the acquisition of the Citizens Trust
Company locations resulted in additional occupancy costs in 2007 of $158,000. |
|
|
|
|
Furniture and equipment expense increased $143,000, or 7.3%, including $156,000
attributed to Citizens Trust Company operations. |
|
|
|
|
Other operating expense increased $579,000, or 9.9%. This category includes many
varieties of expenses, with significant increases and decreases in some of the individual
expenses, as follows: |
|
|
|
Increase of $528,000 from the acquisition of Citizens Trust Company, including
$225,000 for amortization of the core deposit intangible, and excluding computer system
conversion costs. |
|
|
|
|
Increase of $221,000 from professional and other fees associated with converting
First State Bank and Citizens Trust Company locations to the same core computer system
used by C&N Bank. |
|
|
|
|
Increase of $146,000 in cash-based Director fees, Director stock options and
restricted stock. |
|
|
|
|
Incurred $145,000 in 2007 associated with a loss on the disposition of telephone
equipment that was disposed in conjunction with efforts to provide improved, compatible
communications at all locations. |
|
|

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Significant changes in the average balances of the Corporations earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities are described in the Net Interest Margin section of Managements
Discussion and Analysis. The allowance for loan losses and stockholders equity are discussed in
separate sections of Managements Discussion and Analysis.
The Corporations merger with Citizens Bancorp, Inc. closed on May 1, 2007. On the purchase date,
loans increased approximately $60 million, deposits increased approximately $100 million and
stockholders equity increased approximately $14 million. Also, intangible assets increased
approximately $11 million, and the net impact to the Corporations balance sheet was a minor
reduction in tangible assets as a percentage of tangible equity (tangible assets as a percentage of
tangible equity was 10.73% at September 30, 2007 and 11.27% at December 31, 2006). Total capital
purchases for 2007, excluding capital assets included in the Citizens Bancorp, Inc. acquisition,
are estimated at approximately $2.5 $3 million. In light of the Corporations strong capital
position and ample sources of liquidity, management does not expect the Citizens Bancorp, Inc.
acquisition and other capital expenditures to have a material, detrimental effect on the
Corporations financial condition in 2007. Management believes the overall impact of the
acquisition and capital purchases on the Corporations earnings in 2007 and thereafter will depend
on the Corporations ability to build market share and produce profitable results from its
investments in new locations, technology and other capital assets, and how long that will take.
Interest-bearing deposits increased approximately $50 million since December 31, 2006. In addition
to the impact on interest-bearing deposits of the Citizens Bancorp, Inc. merger (discussed earlier
under Net Interest Margin), the Corporations interest-bearing deposits at September 30, 2007
reflect a decrease of $12.7 million in interest-bearing deposits for one significant municipal
relationship. Deposit balances held under this relationship, which can fluctuate significantly
from month-to-month, are approximately $7.5 million below the year-to-date average balance under
the relationship. In addition, management believes deposits have declined during 2007 because of
investors desire to move funds into appreciating equity markets.
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level, which, in managements judgment, is
adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is
based on managements evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio. In evaluating
collectibility, management considers a number of factors, including the status of specific impaired
loans, trends in historical loss experience, delinquency trends, credit concentrations, comparison
of historical loan loss data to that of other financial institutions and economic conditions within
the Corporations market area. Allowances for impaired loans are determined based on collateral
values or the present value of estimated cash flows. The allowance is increased by a provision for
loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
There are two major components of the allowance (1) SFAS 114 allowances on larger loans,
mainly commercial purpose, determined on a loan-by-loan basis; and (2) SFAS 5 allowances
estimates of losses incurred on the remainder of the portfolio, determined based on collective
evaluation of impairment for various categories of loans. SFAS 5 allowances include a portion
based on historical net charge-off experience, and a portion based on evaluation of qualitative
factors.
24
CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
Each quarter, management performs a detailed assessment of the allowance and provision for loan
losses. A management committee called the Watch List Committee performs this assessment.
Quarterly, the Watch List Committee and the applicable Lenders discuss each loan relationship under
review, and reach a consensus on the appropriate SFAS 114 estimated loss amount for the quarter.
The Watch List Committees focus is on ensuring all pertinent facts are considered, and that the
SFAS 114 loss amounts are reasonable. The assessment includes review of certain loans reported on
the Watch List. All loans, which Lenders or the Credit Administration staff has assigned a risk
rating of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful or Loss, are included in the Watch List. The
scope of loans evaluated individually for impairment (SFAS 114 evaluation) include all
relationships greater than $200,000, for which there is at least one extension of credit graded
Substandard, Doubtful or Loss. Also, relationships less than $200,000 in the aggregate, but with
an estimated loss of $100,000 or more, are individually evaluated for impairment.
The SFAS 5 component of the allowance includes estimates of losses incurred on loans that have not
been individually evaluated for impairment. Management uses loan categories included in the Call
Report (a quarterly report filed by FDIC-insured banks) to identify categories of loans with
similar risk characteristics, and multiplies the loan balances for each category as of each
quarter-end by two different factors to determine the SFAS 5 allowance amounts. These two factors
are based on: (1) historical net charge-off experience, and (2) qualitative factors. The sum of
the allowance amounts calculated for each risk category, including both the amount based on
historical net charge-off experience and the amount based on evaluation of qualitative factors, is
equal to the total SFAS 5 component of the allowance.
The historical net charge-off portion of the SFAS 5 allowance component is calculated by the
Accounting Department as of the end of the applicable quarter. For each loan classification
category used in the Call Report, the Accounting Department multiplies the outstanding balance as
of the quarter-end (excluding loans individually evaluated for impairment) by the ratio of net
charge-offs to average quarterly loan balances for the previous three calendar years. Prior to the
fourth quarter 2005, C&N Bank had utilized the ratio of net charge-offs to average balances over a
five-year period in calculating the historical loan loss experience portion of the allowance
portfolio. Management made the change to the three-year assumption, which had very little effect
on the allowance valuation as of December 31, 2005, mainly because management believes net
charge-off experience over a 3-year period may be more representative of losses existing in the
portfolio as of the balance sheet date.
Effective in the second quarter 2005, management began to calculate the effects of specific
qualitative factors criteria to determine a percentage increase or decrease in the SFAS 5
allowance, in relation to the historical net charge-off percentage. The qualitative factors
analysis involves assessment of changes in factors affecting the portfolio, to provide for
estimated differences between losses currently inherent in the portfolio and the amounts determined
based on recent historical loss rates and from identification of losses on specific individual
loans. A management committee called the Qualitative Factors Committee meets quarterly, near the
end of the final month of each quarter. The Qualitative Factors Committee discusses several
qualitative factors, including economic conditions, lending policies, changes in the portfolio,
risk profile of the portfolio, competition and regulatory requirements, and other factors, with
consideration given to how the factors affect three distinct parts of the loan portfolio:
Commercial, Mortgage and Consumer. During or soon after completion of the meeting, each member of
the Committee prepares an update to his or her recommended percentage adjustment for each
qualitative factor, and average qualitative factor adjustments are calculated for Commercial,
Mortgage and Consumer loans. The Accounting Department multiplies the outstanding balance as of
the quarter-end (excluding loans individually evaluated for impairment) by the applicable
qualitative factor percentages, to determine the portion of the SFAS 5 allowance attributable to
qualitative factors.
The allocation of the allowance for loan losses table (Table VIII) includes the SFAS 114 component
of the allowance on the line item called Impaired Loans. SFAS 5 estimated losses, including both
the portion determined based on historical net charge-off results, as well as the portion based on
managements assessment of qualitative factors, are allocated in Table VIII to the applicable
categories of commercial, consumer mortgage and consumer loans. In periods prior to 2005, the
portion of the allowance determined by managements subjective assessment of economic conditions
and other factors (which is now calculated using the qualitative factors criteria described above)
was reflected completely in the unallocated component of the allowance. The unallocated portion of
the allowance was $189,000 at September 30, 2007, up from $24,000 at December 31, 2006, mainly
because of reductions in the portion of the SFAS 5 allowances related to qualitative factors. In
the first quarter 2007, the Qualitative Factors Committee decided to lower some of its estimated
allowance percentages, mainly in categories related to monitoring the portfolio, based on perceived
improvement in identifying and evaluating problem loan relationships on a timely basis. Only minor
changes in qualitative factors impacted both the second and third quarters of 2007.
25
CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
The allowance for loan losses totaled $8,709,000 at September 30, 2007, up from $8,201,000 at
December 31, 2006. As shown in Table VII, the allowance for loan losses recorded as a result of
the Citizens Trust Company acquisition was $587,000, which was based on Citizens Trust Companys
SFAS 5 allowance at the time of acquisition. Table VII also shows that net charge-offs in 2007
were $308,000, which is lower than historical levels over the past several years. Net charge-offs
in the first six months of 2007 were substantially lower than net charge-offs in the comparable
period of 2006. In the third quarter of 2007, net charge-offs increased to $213,000 for the
quarter, which is more comparable to recent historical levels. The provision for loan losses
totaled $229,000 in 2007, as compared to $491,000 in the first nine months of 2006. In the second
and third quarters of 2007, the Corporation had no provision for loan losses. The total amount of
the provision for loan losses in each period is determined based on the amount required to maintain
an appropriate allowance in light of all of the factors described above.
Table IX presents information related to past due and impaired loans. Total impaired loans
amounted to $5,345,000 at September 30, 2007, down from $7,001,000 at June 30, 2007, $7,943,000 at
March 31, 2007 and $8,011,000 at December 31, 2006. Nonaccrual loans totaled $5,157,000 at
September 30, 2007, down from $6,807,000 at June 30, 2007, $8,088,000 at March 31, 2007 and
$8,506,000 at December 31, 2006. The primary reduction in impaired and nonaccrual loans during
2007 resulted from the removal of loans for two unrelated commercial relationships from impaired
and nonaccrual status during the second and third quarters. The SFAS 114 valuation allowance on
impaired loans was $1,796,000 at September 30, 2007, compared to $1,734,000 at June 30, 2007,
$1,615,000 at March 31, 2007 and $1,726,000 at December 31, 2006. For one commercial loan removed
from nonaccrual status in the third quarter 2007, the Watch List Committee eliminated the valuation
allowance that previously was $300,000 at June 30, 2007. Also, the Watch List Committee decided to
increase the valuation allowance on an impaired commercial loan to $700,000 from $400,000, based on
an updated appraisal and the estimated costs required for sale of the related business, and
established a valuation allowance of $175,000 on another commercial loan that was determined to be
impaired during the third quarter. Management believes it has been conservative in its decisions
concerning identification of impaired loans, estimates of loss and nonaccrual status. However, the
actual losses realized from these relationships could vary materially from the allowances
calculated as of September 30, 2007. Management continues to closely monitor its commercial loan
relationships for possible credit losses, and will adjust its estimates of loss and decisions
concerning nonaccrual status, if appropriate.
Tables VII, VIII, IX and X present an analysis of the allowance for loan losses, the allocation of
the allowance, information concerning impaired and past due loans and a five-year summary of loans
by type.

CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation has utilized derivative financial instruments related to a certificate of deposit
product called the Index Powered Certificate of Deposit (IPCD). IPCDs have a term of 5 years,
with interest paid at maturity based on 90% of the appreciation (as defined) in the S&P 500 index.
There is no guaranteed interest payable to a depositor of an IPCD however, assuming an IPCD is
held to maturity, a depositor is guaranteed the return of his or her principal, at a minimum. In
2004, the Corporation stopped originating new IPCDs, but continues to maintain and account for
IPCDs and the related derivative contracts entered into between 2001 and 2004.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 requires the Corporation to separate the amount
received from each IPCD issued into 2 components: (1) an embedded derivative, and (2) the principal
amount of each deposit. Embedded derivatives are derived from the Corporations obligation to pay
each IPCD depositor a return based on appreciation in the S&P 500 index. Embedded derivatives are
carried at fair value, and are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Changes in fair value of the embedded derivative are included in other expense in the consolidated
income statement. The difference between the contractual amount of each IPCD issued, and the
amount of the embedded derivative, is recorded as the initial deposit (included in interest-bearing
deposits in the consolidated balance sheet). Interest expense is added to principal ratably over
the term of each IPCD at an effective interest rate that will increase the principal balance to
equal the contractual IPCD amount at maturity.
In connection with IPCD transactions, the Corporation has entered into Equity Indexed Call Option
(Swap) contracts with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB-Pittsburgh). Under the terms
of the Swap contracts, the Corporation must pay FHLB-Pittsburgh quarterly amounts calculated based
on the contractual amount of IPCDs issued times a negotiated rate. In return, FHLB-Pittsburgh is
obligated to pay the Corporation, at the time of maturity of the IPCDs, an amount equal to 90% of
the appreciation (as defined) in the S&P 500 index. If the S&P 500 index does not appreciate over
the term of the related IPCDs, the FHLB-Pittsburgh would make no payment to the Corporation. The
effect of the Swap contracts is to limit the Corporations cost of IPCD funds to the market rate of
interest paid to FHLB-Pittsburgh. (In addition, the Corporation paid a fee of 0.75% to a
consulting firm at inception of each deposit. These fees are being amortized to interest expense
over the term of the IPCDs.) Swap assets or liabilities are carried at fair value, and included in
other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in fair value of swap
liabilities are included in other expense in the consolidated income statement.
The impact to the income statement for 2007 and 2006 from IPCDs is not significant. Balance sheet
amounts as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 related to IPCDs are as follows (in

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is the ability to quickly raise cash at a reasonable cost. An adequate liquidity
position permits the Corporation to pay creditors, compensate for unforeseen deposit fluctuations
and fund unexpected loan demand. The Corporation maintains overnight borrowing facilities with
several correspondent banks that provide a source of day-to-day liquidity. Also, the Corporation
maintains borrowing facilities with FHLB Pittsburgh, secured by mortgage loans and various
investment securities. At September 30, 2007, the Corporation had unused borrowing availability
with correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh totaling approximately
$236,000,000. Additionally, the Corporation uses repurchase agreements placed with brokers to
borrow funds secured by investment assets, and uses RepoSweep arrangements to borrow funds from
commercial banking customers on an overnight basis. Further, if required to raise cash in an
emergency situation, the Corporation could sell non-pledged investment securities to meet its
obligations. At September 30, 2007, the carrying value of non-pledged available-for-sale
securities was $107,971,000.
28
CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
Management believes the combination of its strong capital position (discussed in the next section),
ample available borrowing facilities and substantial non-pledged securities portfolio have placed
the Corporation in a position of minimal short-term and long-term liquidity risk.
STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The Corporation and the subsidiary banks (Citizens & Northern Bank and First State Bank) are
subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
The Corporations estimated, consolidated capital ratios at September 30, 2007 are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Total capital to risk-weighted assets |
|
|
16.87 |
% |
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets |
|
|
15.69 |
% |
Tier 1 capital to average total assets |
|
|
11.00 |
% |
Management expects the Corporation and the subsidiary banks to maintain capital levels that exceed
the regulatory standards for well-capitalized institutions for the next 12 months and for the
foreseeable future. Planned capital expenditures are not expected to have a significantly
detrimental effect on capital ratios.
The Corporations total stockholders equity is affected by fluctuations in the fair values of
available-for-sale securities. The difference between amortized cost and fair value of
available-for-sale securities, net of deferred income tax, is included in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income within stockholders equity. Changes in accumulated other comprehensive
income are excluded from earnings and directly increase or decrease stockholders equity.
The balance in accumulated other comprehensive income related to unrealized losses on
available-for-sale securities, net of deferred income tax, amounted to a negative balance of
$2,130,000 at September 30, 2007, down from a positive balance resulting from net unrealized gains
of $1,794,000 at December 31, 2006. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income in 2007
resulted mainly from changes in interest rates, along with general pricing declines on trust
preferred securities and bank stocks.
Effective December 31, 2006, the Corporation applied SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. SFAS No. 158 requires the Corporation to
recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans
as a liability or asset in the balance sheet. The Corporation has recognized a liability for the
underfunded balance of its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, and has recognized a
reduction in stockholders equity (included in accumulated other comprehensive income) for the
amount of the liability, net of deferred income tax. Accumulated other comprehensive income
included a negative balance of $1,161,000 at September 30, 2007 and $1,181,000 at December 31, 2006
related to SFAS 158.

CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION FORM 10-Q
INFLATION
The Corporation is significantly affected by the Federal Reserve Boards efforts to control
inflation through changes in short-term interest rates. From mid-2004 through mid-2006, the
Federal Reserve Board increased the Fed funds target rate in 25-50 basis point increments from a
low of 1% to 5.25%. During the third quarter of 2007, the target rate decreased to 4.75% and was
further decreased to 4.50% in late October 2007. In 2004 2006, long-term interest rates did not
increase nearly as much as short-term rates, which has hurt the Corporations profitability by
squeezing the net interest margin. The Corporation is liability sensitive, which means its
interest-bearing deposits and borrowings reprice, on average, more quickly than its
interest-earning assets. Accordingly, the recent decreases in the Fed funds target rate may help
the Corporations net interest margin. However, some economists are concerned that lowering the
Fed funds target rate may lead to increased levels of inflation, which could affect the
Corporations credit risk if the borrowers ability to make loan payments were to become impaired.
Although management cannot predict future changes in the rate of inflation, management monitors the
impact of economic trends, including any indicators of inflationary pressure, in managing interest
rate and other financial risks.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (Interpretation 48). Interpretation 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in
accordance with FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Interpretation 48 became
effective for the Corporations financial statements, effective January 1, 2007. The Corporation
has evaluated Interpretation 48, and adopted Interpretation 48 with no impact on the financial
statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), to establish
a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures on fair value measurements.
The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective beginning in 2008 and are currently not expected to have a
material effect on the Corporations financial statements.
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments at fair value that are not currently
required to be measured at fair value. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements
designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes
for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 (the Corporations 2008 fiscal
year). The Corporation considered early adoption of SFAS 159, effective as of January 1, 2007, but
decided not to make that early adoption. The Corporation does not expect this pronouncement to
materially impact its 2008 consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
MARKET RISK
The Corporations two major categories of market risk, interest rate risk and equity securities
risk, are discussed in the following sections.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Business risk arising from changes in interest rates is a significant factor in operating a bank.
The Corporations assets are predominantly long-term, fixed rate loans and debt securities.
Funding for these assets comes principally from short-term deposits and borrowed funds.
Accordingly, there is an inherent risk of lower future earnings or decline in fair value of the
Corporations financial instruments when interest rates change.
Citizens & Northern Bank uses a simulation model to calculate the potential effects of interest
rate fluctuations on net interest income and the market value of portfolio equity. Only assets and
liabilities of Citizens & Northern Bank are included in managements monthly simulation model
calculations. Since Citizens & Northern Bank makes up more than 90% of the Corporations total
assets and liabilities, and because Citizens & Northern Bank is the source of the most volatile
interest rate risk, presently management does not consider it necessary to run the model for the
remaining entities within the consolidated group. (Management intends to add data for First State
Bank and other related entities to the model, beginning in the fourth quarter 2007.) For purposes
of these calculations, the market value of portfolio equity includes the fair values of financial
instruments, such as securities, loans, deposits and borrowed funds, and the book values of
nonfinancial assets and liabilities, such as premises and equipment and accrued expenses. The
model measures and projects potential changes in net interest income, and calculates the discounted
present value of anticipated cash flows of financial instruments, assuming an immediate increase or
decrease in interest rates. Management ordinarily runs a variety of scenarios within a range of
plus or minus 50-300 basis points of current rates.
Citizens & Northern Banks Board of Directors has established policy guidelines for acceptable
levels of interest rate risk, based on an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates.
Citizens & Northern Banks policy provides limits at +/- 100, 200 and 300 basis points from current
rates for fluctuations in net interest income from the baseline (flat rates) one-year scenario.
The policy also limits acceptable market value variances from the baseline values based on current
rates. As Table XI shows, as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the decline in net
interest income exceeds the policy threshold marks if interest rates were to immediately rise by
200 or 300 basis points, and the decline in market value exceeds the policy threshold marks if
interest rates were to rise immediately by 200 or 300 basis points. The out of policy positions
are a reflection of the Corporations liability sensitive position (on average, deposits and
borrowings reprice more quickly than loans and debt securities). Management has reviewed these
positions with the Board of Directors at quarterly or monthly intervals throughout 2006 and as of
September 30, 2007. In addition, management will continue to evaluate whether to make any changes
to asset or liability holdings in an effort to reduce exposure to rising interest rates.
The table that follows was prepared using the simulation model described above. The model makes
estimates, at each level of interest rate change, regarding cash flows from principal repayments on
loans and mortgage-backed securities and call activity on other investment securities. Actual
results could vary significantly from these estimates, which could result in significant
differences in the calculations of projected changes in net interest margin and market value of
portfolio equity. Also, the model does not make estimates related to changes in the composition of
the deposit portfolio that could occur due to rate competition and the table does not necessarily
reflect changes that management would make to realign the portfolio as a result of changes in
interest rates.

EQUITY SECURITIES RISK
The Corporations equity securities portfolio consists primarily of investments in stock of banks
and bank holding companies located mainly in Pennsylvania. The Corporation also owns some other
stocks and mutual funds.
Investments in bank stocks are subject to the risk factors that affect the banking industry in
general, including competition from non-bank entities, credit risk, interest rate risk and other
factors, which could result in a decline in market prices. Also, losses could occur in individual
stocks held by the Corporation because of specific circumstances related to each bank. Further,
because of the concentration of bank and bank holding companies located in Pennsylvania, these
investments could decline in market value if there is a downturn in the states economy.
Equity securities held as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are presented in Table XII.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Corporations management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the
Corporations Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has carried out an evaluation of
the design and effectiveness of the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Corporations disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information required to be
disclosed in reports the Corporation files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
There were no significant changes in the Corporations internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or that is
reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
