NOTES TOCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results for such periods. All of those adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys annual report for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amends the compliance dates for Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS No. 123R). The Statement requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and that this cost be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The Company will adopt FAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) on January 1, 2006 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Companys results of operations.
In December 2004, FASB issued FAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. FAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of FAS No. 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply
8
the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
NOTE 2. Per Share Data
The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and dilutive per share computation. There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, therefore, net income as presented on the consolidated statement of income will be used as the numerator.

Employer Contributions
The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements included in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K that it expected to contribute $575,000 to its defined benefit plan in 2005. As of March 31, 2005, contributions of $206,000 have been made. The Company presently anticipates contributing an additional $369,000 to fund its pension plan in 2005 for a total of $575,000.
Note 4. Off Balance Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Companys exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The Company may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

Certain comparative amounts for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders equity.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This Report contains certain forward-looking statements including statements concerning plans, objectives, future events or performance and assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical fact. The Company wishes to caution readers that the following important factors, among others, may have affected and could in the future affect the Companys actual results and could cause the Companys actual results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company herein: (i) the effect of changes in laws and regulations, including federal and state banking laws and regulations, which the Company must comply, and the associated costs of compliance with such laws and regulations either currently or in the future as applicable; (ii) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or of changes in the Companys organization, compensation and benefit plans; (iii) the effect on the Companys competitive position within its market area of the increasing consolidation within the banking and financial services industries, including the increased competition from larger regional and out-of-state banking organizations as well as non-bank providers of various financial services; (iv) the effect of changes in interest rates; and (v) the effect of changes in the business cycle and downturns in the local, regional or national economies.
ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
Summary Results
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $2,715,000 compared to $2,673,000 for the same period of 2004. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $0.82 as compared to $0.80 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 2.01% and 14.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2.04% and 14.99% for the corresponding period of 2004. Net income from core operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005, excluding after-tax securities gains of $403,000, remained stable at $2,312,000. (Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations in its analysis of the Companys performance. This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature. Because certain of these items and their impact on the Companys performance are difficult to predict, management believes the presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Companys core businesses. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.)
Interest Income
During the first quarter of 2005, interest and dividend income was $7,651,000, an increase of $324,000 over the same quarter in 2004. The increase in total interest income was primarily the result of a change in the mix of earning assets from March 31, 2004 to March 31,2005. Over this time frame cash flows from the investment portfolio have been reinvested into the higher yielding loan portfolio, principally commercial products. The shift in earning assets increased loan interest and fee income by $609,000 while decreasing interest and dividend income on investment securities by $285,000. The decrease in taxable investment security interest income was also the effect of a portfolio reallocation from the taxable investment portfolio to tax-free municipal bonds. This shift within the investment securities portfolio was undertaken to ladder cash flows, maintain the interest margin, and to invest at the community level. The increase in dividends received is the result of an increase in the level of dividends from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh coupled with an emphasis on purchasing stocks consistently having an above average dividend yield.
Interest income composition for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:

Interest Expense
Interest expense during the first quarter of 2005 increased $125,000 to $2,249,000 from $2,124,000 for the first quarter of 2004. The increased expense associated with deposits is the result of both rate and volume increases from the first quarter of 2004 to the corresponding period of 2005. During this time frame an emphasis was placed on building and retaining strong customer relationships by providing needed deposit products at a competitive rate. This emphasis along with the current rising rate environment led to both the rate and volume increases that occurred from period to period. Short-term borrowing costs also increased do to the 175 basis point increase in the Fed Funds rate over the past year. This increase affected the rate paid on FHLB overnight borrowings, FHLB short-term borrowings, and the rate paid to cash management customers. Long-term FHLB borrowing expense remained constant as there were no new long-term borrowings and a maturity of $1,400,000 at a rate of 2.02% at the end of the quarter.

Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin (NIM) for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 4.58% as compared to 4.48% for the corresponding period of 2004. The increase in the NIM was the result of the yield on earning assets increasing 14 basis points (bp) to 6.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004 offset by a 9 bp increase in interest bearing liabilities over the same period. The increase in the yield on earning assets is attributable to a change in the mix of earning assets. Over the time periods being compared, total average loans increased $47,759,000, while the lower yielding investment securities portfolio average balance decreased $31,228,000. In addition, within the investment portfolio, average tax-exempt investment securities accounted for 27.3% of the portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 14.9% during the comparable period of 2004. The NIM impact of the earning asset mix improvements and volume increase in total loans were reduced by rate increases on interest bearing liabilities. The rates paid on deposit accounts remained relatively constant at 1.72% as
13
compared to 1.68% for the 2004 period. Short-term borrowings, the majority of which is Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, incurred a rate increase of 83 bp to 2.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in the FHLB rate can be associated with the increase in prime rate from 4.00% during the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 5.75% at March 31, 2005.

The provision for loan losses is based upon managements quarterly review of the loan portfolio. The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served. An external independent loan review is also
performed annually for the Bank. Management remains committed to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.
The allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance has been determined. Loss factors are based on managements consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience. In addition, management considers industry standards and trends with respect to nonperforming loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending segments.
Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2005, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. A downturn in the local economy, employment and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, increased loan loss provisions and reductions in income. Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Banks loan loss allowance. The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.
While determining the appropriate allowance level management has attributed the allowance for loan losses to various portfolio segments; however, the allowance is available for the entire portfolio as needed.
The allowance for loan losses increased from $3,338,000 at December 31, 2004 to $3,399,000 at March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2005, the allowance for loan losses was 1.04% of total loans compared to 1.01% of total loans at December 31, 2004. Managements conclusion is that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.
The provision for loan losses totaled $180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $75,000 the same period in 2004. The increase of $105,000 was the result of gross loan growth of $45,711,000, primarily in the commercial category, from March 2004 to March 2005.
An overall decrease of $382,000 was experienced in non-performing loans from December 31, 2004 to $1,343,000 on March 31, 2005 as a result of a 41% decrease of non-performing loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties.
Based upon this analysis, as well as the others noted above, senior management has concluded that the allowance for loan losses remains at a level adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio.
Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 increased $80,000. Excluding net security gains, the increase from period to period was $14,000. Insurance commissions increased as the Comprehensive Financial Group (d/b/a M Group) continued to gather new and build upon current relationships. In addition, The M Group continues to add sales representatives to better cover and expand their foot print. The decrease in service charge on deposit accounts is primarily the result of a decrease in insufficient fund charges.

Non-interest Expenses
Total non-interest expenses increased $148,000 from the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period of 2005. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to standard cost of living salary increases for employees. Occupancy expenses increased do to increased utility costs, property taxes, and depreciation. Other expenses increased primarily do to normal increases in business expenses and nonrecurring consultant fees related to employee recruitment. The decrease in furniture and equipment expenses was the result of decreased depreciation.

Provision for Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased $16,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The effective tax rates for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were
17
27.0% and 27.6%, respectively. This decreasing effective tax rate is consistent with managements repositioning of the investment portfolio from taxable investment securities to tax-exempt investment securities.
Cash and due from other financial institutions increased $4,718,000 from $12,626,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase was the result of an increase in the cash letter (items in process of clearing between the bank and other financial institutions).

Investments
Total investment securities decreased $6,341,000 as the principal cash flows from the portfolio at the end of March 2005 were not immediately reinvested as investment alternatives for the current rising rate environment were discussed. Since December 31, 2004, tax-exempt bond holdings have increased as the portfolio is managed to maintain tax equivalent yield and liquidity, reduce
18
the overall corporate effective tax rate, and to invest in communities across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the country.
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, $611,000 in net security gains were recognized from the $6,563,000 in net unrealized gains at December 31, 2004 for the entire investment portfolio. The bond portfolio incurred a net realized loss of $7,000 as the portfolio was shifted slightly in light of the current rising rate environment. The equity portfolio had recognized gains of $618,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The gains were the result of managements intention to diversify, increase dividend yield, or to reduce ownership in companies that management felt had reached their full potential.

At March 31, 2005, total deposits were $354,301,000, a decrease of $2,535,000 from December 31, 2004. Non time deposits decreased $6,499,000 from December 31, 2004 with half of the decrease occurring in the NOW account category. The increase in time deposits of $3,964,000 is the result of an emphasis to obtain fixed rate customer funding, with a maturity of two to four years, ahead of future rate increases.

Total borrowed funds decreased slightly to $111,740,000 at March 31, 2005 as compared to December 31, 2004. The decrease of $613,000 was the result of long term borrowings decreasing $1,400,000, due to maturity, offset by an increase in short-term FHLB borrowings. Short-term borrowings are being utilized to supplement deposits in the day to day funding of the loan portfolio and normal operations.

Fundamental objectives of the Companys asset/liability management process are to maintain adequate liquidity while minimizing interest rate risk. The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Company with the ability to meet its financial obligations to depositors, loan customers and shareholders. Additionally, it provides funds for normal operating expenditures and business opportunities as they arise. The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to increase net interest income by managing interest sensitive assets and liabilities in such a way that they can be repriced in response to changes in market interest rates.
The Bank, like other financial institutions, must have sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity needs for deposit withdrawals, loan commitments, and expenses. In order to control cash flow, the Bank estimates future flows of cash from deposits, loan payments, and investment security payments. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, as well as Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Funds generated are used principally to fund loans and purchase investment securities. Management believes the Company has adequate resources to meet its normal funding requirements.
Management monitors the Companys liquidity on both a long and short-term basis, thereby providing management necessary information to react to current balance sheet trends. Cash flow needs are assessed and sources of funds are determined. Funding strategies consider both customer needs and economical cost. Both short and long-term funding needs are addressed by maturities and sales of available for sale investment securities, loan repayments and maturities, and liquidating money market investments such as federal funds sold. The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit provides core ingredients to satisfy depositor, borrower, and creditor needs.
Management monitors and determines the desirable level of liquidity. Consideration is given to loan demand, investment opportunities, deposit pricing and growth potential as well as the current cost of borrowing funds. The Company has a current borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of $237,657,000. In addition to this credit arrangement, the Company has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $10,500,000. Management believes that it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding needs. Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $98,218,000 as of March 31, 2005.
Interest rate sensitivity, which is closely related to liquidity management, is a function of the repricing characteristics of the Companys portfolio of assets and liabilities. Asset/liability management strives to match maturities and rates between loan and investment security assets with the deposit liabilities and borrowings that fund them. Successful asset/liability management results in a balance sheet structure which can cope effectively with market rate fluctuations. The matching process is affected by segmenting both assets and liabilities into future time periods
(usually 12 months, or less) based upon when repricing can be effected. Repriceable assets are subtracted from repriceable liabilities, for a specific time period to determine the gap, or difference. Once known, the gap is managed based on predictions about future market interest rates. Intentional mismatching, or gapping, can enhance net interest income if market rates move as predicted. However, if market rates behave in a manner contrary to predictions, net interest income will suffer. Gaps, therefore, contain an element of risk and must be prudently managed. In addition to gap management, the Company has an asset/liability management policy which incorporates a market value at risk calculation which is used to determine the effects of interest rate movements on shareholders equity and a simulation analysis to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Companys balance sheets.
There have been no substantial changes in the Companys GAP analyses or simulation analyses compared to the information provided in the Companys Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004.
Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook changes.
The asset and liability structure of a financial institution is primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates rather than inflation have a more significant impact on the Companys performance. Interest rates are not always affected in the same direction or magnitude as prices of other goods and services, but are reflective of fiscal policy initiatives or economic factors which are not measured by a price index.
In reference to the attached financial statements, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature pursuant to Rule 10-01 (b) (8) of Regulation S-X.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Market risk for the Company is comprised primarily from interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk. Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at the Bank level as well as the Company level. The Companys interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced by an independent third party. There have been no substantial changes in the Companys GAP analyses or simulation analyses compared to the information provided in the Companys SEC 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004. Additional information and details are provided in the Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity section of Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond in a timely manner when the market interest rate outlook changes.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An analysis was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2005. There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
None.
The Company announced a repurchase program on August 10, 2000 which was approved by the Board of Directors on August 8, 2000 for the repurchase of 171,600 shares which will expire on August 8, 2005. There were no repurchases of the Companys common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
