PENNS WOODS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Woods Investment Company, Inc., Woods Real Estate Development Company, Inc., and Jersey Shore State Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary The M Group, Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial Group (“The M Group”).  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

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 Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are the same as those followed on an annual basis.  These policies are presented on pages 38 thru 43 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. FAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No.  87, 88, 106, and 132(R).  FAS No. 158 requires that a company recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit post retirement plans (other than multiemployer plans) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and that it recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income.  FAS No. 158 also requires the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the fiscal year end, in addition to footnote disclosures.  FAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, providing guidance on quantifying financial statement misstatement and implementation when first applying this guidance.  Under SAB No. 108, companies should evaluate a misstatement based on its impact on the current year income statement, as well as the cumulative effect of correcting such misstatements that existed in prior years existing in the current year’s ending balance sheet.  SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this bulletin is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB reached consensus on the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-4 (“EITF 06-4”), Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.  The guidance is applicable to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employer owns and controls the insurance policy, that are associated with a postretirement benefit.  EITF 06-4 requires that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of the Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with FAS No. 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists) or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive agreement with the employee.  EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB reached consensus on the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-5(“EITF 06-5”), Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance.  EITF 06-5 states that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract.  EITF 06-5 also states that a policyholder should determine the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate by certificate in a group policy). EITF 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Note 3. 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 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, that it expected to contribute $500,000 to its defined benefit plan in 2006. As of September 30, 2006, a contribution in the amount of $550,000 was made for the 2005 plan year with no additional contributions anticipated.

Note 5.  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 are primarily comprised of 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 Company’s 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.

Outstanding financial instruments with off balance sheet risk are as follows:

Note 6.  Reclassification of Comparative Amounts

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.

Note 7.  Stock Split

During the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company initiated a 6 for 5 stock split. Previously reported share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the split.

Note 8.  Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Effective April 26, 2006 the Company implemented the Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Plan”). The Plan is intended to encourage employee participation in the ownership and economic progress of the Company. The Plan allows for up

10




to 1,000,000 shares to be purchased by employees. The purchase price of the shares is 95% of market value with an employee eligible to purchase up to the lesser of 15% of base compensation or $12,000 in market value annually. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 there were 421 shares issued under the plan.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

Summary Results

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $2,464,000 compared to $2,948,000 for the same period of 2005. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $0.63 as compared to $0.74 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.70% and 13.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2.12% and 16.54% for the corresponding period of 2005. Net income from core operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, excluding after-tax net securities gains of $370,000 and $367,000, respectively, were $2,094,000 and $2,581,000.

The nine months ended September 30, 2006 generated net income of $7,353,000 compared to $8,423,000 for the same period of 2005. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $1.87 as compared to $2.12 for the comparable period of 2005. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.71% and 13.20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2.05% and 14.94% for the corresponding period of 2005. Net income from core operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, excluding after-tax securities gains of $914,000, declined to $6,439,000 from $7,199,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. (Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations in its analysis of the Company’s performance. This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income by significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature. Because certain of these items and their impact on the Company’s 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 Company’s core businesses. For purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, net income from core operations means net income adjusted to exclude after-tax net securities gains. 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

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $731,000 to $8,547,000 as compared to $7,816,000 for the same period of 2005. The increase in total interest income was primarily the result of growth in average loans of $24,037,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. The average loan growth and a 38 basis point (“bp”) increase in loan portfolio yields accounted for $753,000 of the total interest income growth. Over this time frame the average balance of investment securities decreased $14,654,000. The decrease in the average investment portfolio was offset by an increase of 43

12




bp in the investment portfolio yield which resulted in total interest income from the investment portfolio declining $28,000 to $2,185,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, while interest income on interest bearing deposits increased $6,000 for the same period. On a taxable equivalent basis the interest income from the investment portfolio remained constant at $2,702,000. 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, interest income was $24,916,000, an increase of $2,011,000 over the same period in 2005. The reasons for the 8.8% growth in interest income for the nine month period are identical to those for the three month period ending September 30, 2006 discussed above. The growth in average loans of $21,754,000 coupled with a 34 bp increase in the loan portfolio yield resulted in an increase of $1,909,000 in loan interest and fee income. Average investment securities decreased slightly to $184,820,000 resulting in interest income on the investment portfolio increasing $118,000 when compared to September 30, 2005 due to an increase of 44 bp in the investment portfolio yield, while interest income on interest bearing deposits decreased $16,000 for the same period. The asset allocation between loans and the investment portfolio resulted in taxable equivalent interest income increasing $2,462,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005.

Interest income composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $1,006,000 to $3,707,000 as compared to $2,701,000 for the same period of 2005. The increased expense associated with deposits is primarily the result of rate increases for time deposits, which are comprised of various certificates of deposit (“CD”) accounts, from the three months ended September 30, 2005 to the corresponding period of 2006. Factors that led to the rate increases include, but are not limited to, several period prime rate increases, competitive market pricing pressure, and attracting new deposit customers while retaining existing accounts. The increase in CD interest rates has exceeded the increase for other deposit accounts. This has led to a shift of a portion of the money market and savings deposit portfolios into higher yielding CDs.

Short-term borrowing costs increased as rates paid increased 153 bp as a direct result of the prime rate increases over the past year and a minimal increase in the average balance of $186,000. Long-term FHLB borrowing expense decreased minimally due to the maturity of $1,600,000 earlier in 2006.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $2,910,000 to $10,317,000 from $7,407,000 for the comparable period of 2005. Interest on deposits accounted for $2,101,000 of the increase due to the reasons noted in the above three month analysis. Borrowing costs increased due to the rate increases over the past year and increased average borrowings that were used to fund the growth in average earning assets.

Interest expense composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin (“NIM”) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was 4.00% as compared to 4.27% for the corresponding period of 2005. The decrease in the NIM was the result of the yield on earning assets increasing 44 bp to 6.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to 2005; however, interest bearing liabilities increased 81 bp over the same period. The increase in the yield on earning assets is attributable to a change in the mix of earning assets as previously discussed in the Interest Income section of this Earnings Summary. The average taxable investment securities portfolio declined by $15,337,000, as the cash flow from the portfolio was utilized to fund the growth in loans. The average loan growth of $24,037,000 was predominately comprised of residential and commercial real estate loans. The yield on total loans increased to 7.13% from 6.75% due to the impact of the Federal Open Market Committee rate increases enacted over the past year offset by competitive pressure. The investment portfolio yield increased to 5.97% from 5.54% primarily from the previously noted shift in the portfolio to a portfolio weighting of tax-exempt investments. The average interest rate paid on deposit accounts increased to 3.04% as compared to 2.04% for the 2005 period. This increase was driven by growth in average time deposits of $35,623,000 and an increase in the rate paid on time deposits of 115 bp. A portion of the increase in deposit volume and the average interest yield paid is due to several CD promotions during the past year to attract new customers while retaining existing customers. The promotions were designed to gather deposits that would have maturities of two years or less. In addition, the promotions served as a catalyst to cross sell other deposit products and to implement management’s strategy regarding the CD portfolio allocation among various maturities and therefore, reducing the concentration of time deposit maturities within any single month.

Short-term borrowings realized an increase of 153 bp in interest rates charged for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The prime rate increased 150 bp to 8.25% at September 30, 2006 from 6.75% at September 30, 2005, as further evidence of the correlation between the Company’s primary source of borrowed funds, the FHLB, and the primary lending rate indicator used on a national basis.

The NIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 4.06% as compared to 4.32% for the corresponding period of 2005. The decrease in the NIM was the result of the before mentioned growth and change in mix of the earnings assets offset by increased rates paid on interest bearing liabilities and growth in total borrowings of $13,265,000.

Following is a schedule of average balances and associated yields for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s 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

18




 

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 management’s 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 non-performing 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 September 30, 2006, 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 Bank’s 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 $3,679,000 at December 31, 2005 to $4,045,000 at September 30, 2006.  At September 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was 1.13% of total loans compared to 1.09% of total loans at December 31, 2005.  Management’s conclusion is that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for possible losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

The provision for loan losses totaled $89,000 and $485,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to $180,000 and $540,000 for the same periods in 2005.  The decrease was the result of non-performing loans to total loans decreasing to 0.22% at September 30, 2006 from 0.32% at September 30, 2005.  The decline in the ratio is the result of growth in the loan portfolio outpacing an overall increase of $169,000 in non-performing loans (non-accrual and 90 days past due) from December 31, 2005 to $771,000 at September 30, 2006.

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 three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 decreased $160,000 to $2,387,000.  Excluding net security gains and additional bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income of $196,000 related to a death benefit during 2005, non-interest income would have increased $31,000.  Deposit service charges declined $16,000 as overdraft protection fees declined due primarily to the loss of a single commercial account.  Other income increased due primarily to revenue generated from increased debit card transactions and title insurance fees.

Insurance commissions decreased slightly due to a reduction in the overall commission from the underwriter that The M Group receives on each insurance contract written.  Management of The M Group continues to pursue new and build upon current relationships.  However, the sales cycle for insurance and investment products can take typically from six months to one year or more to complete. The sales call program continues to expand to other financial institutions, which results in additional revenue for The M Group.

Total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 decreased $389,000.  Excluding net security gains and additional BOLI income of $196,000 related to a death benefit during 2005, non-interest income would have increased $276,000.  The implementation of Bounce Protection, overdraft protection, during May 2005, resulted in an increase of $170,000 in service charge fees.  The increase in other income is the result of the items noted above for the three month period discussion.

Non-interest income composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Non-interest Expenses

Total non-interest expenses increased $326,000 from the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2006.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to several items including: standard cost of living wage adjustments for employees, new additions to our staff, and increased health insurance cost.  Furniture and equipment expense and occupancy expense increased due to the new branch in Montoursville and increased cost of maintenance.  Other expenses increased primarily due to normal anticipated inflationary adjustments to ongoing business operating costs and the Company’s share of operating results incurred through a limited partnership arrangement which was initiated during the fourth quarter of 2005 for the purposes of funding the construction of affordable housing in the Company’s primary market area.

Total non-interest expenses increased $911,000 from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the same period of 2006.  As noted above in the three month discussion, the new Montoursville branch and the State College branch, opened in May 2005, in addition to normal increases in general business expenses, impacted the level of non-interest expenses.  Decreased maintenance of buildings resulted in occupancy expense declining for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005.

Non-interest expense composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Provision for Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $186,000 and $1,074,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods of 2005.  The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 18.5% and 20.2%, respectively.  The nine months ended September 30, 2006 had an effective tax rate of 17.5% compared to 23.8% for the comparable period of 2005.  The decline in the effective tax rate is consistent with management’s repositioning of the investment portfolio from taxable investment securities to tax-exempt investment securities and tax credits related to investments in low income housing projects.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $622,000 from $14,090,000 at December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of the following activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006:

Operating Activities

The significant components of operating activities are net income and the origination and proceeds of loans held for sale.  Activity regarding loans held for sale resulted in sale proceeds, less $624,000 in realized gains, exceeding loan origination disbursements by $1,201,000 for the period.

22




 

Loans

Gross loans increased $18,118,000 since December 31, 2005 as residential real estate mortgages increased 5.1% or $7,593,000 in part due to the active marketing of a new home equity line of credit product during 2006.  The growth in commercial real estate mortgages is part of the Company’s strategy to originate high quality, well secured commercial loans.

The recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, amounted to $568,000 at September 30, 2006, as compared to no impaired loans at December 31, 2005.  The valuation allowance related to impaired loans amounted to $61,000 at September 30, 2006.

A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.

Investments

The amortized cost and fair market value of the investment securities portfolio in total has declined modestly since December 31, 2005.  Over the first nine months of 2006, the amortized cost of state and political securities has increased $5,701,000, while U.S. Government and agency securities decreased $6,054,000.  This shift is the result of a repositioning of the securities portfolio that began during 2005.  The shift from taxable to tax exempt bonds has been undertaken as a strategy to build call protection, maintain the taxable equivalent yield, reduce the effective federal income tax rate, and invest in communities across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the country.

Financing Activities

Deposits

Total deposits increased 14.0% or $49,430,000 from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006.  The mix of deposits has shifted toward time deposits from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006.  The shift is the result of several short maturity time deposit gathering campaigns undertaken during the past year.  In addition, a campaign run in August of 2006 to celebrate the grand opening of the Montoursville branch attracted $21,646,000 in time deposits with approximately 66% of the funds coming from outside the Bank.  During the second half of 2005 the Bank began utilizing brokered deposits (time deposits) to supplement the funding of loan originations and investment purchases.  These time deposits are generally for a term of either four or thirteen weeks with interest rates presently at or below the cost of alternative funding sources, such as short-term borrowing instruments from the FHLB.  The amount of brokered deposits is continuously monitored and is used to supplement deposits, not as a primary source of deposits.

Borrowed Funds

Total borrowed funds decreased 27.1% to $100,904,000 at September 30, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005.  The decrease in borrowed funds is the result of deposit growth that occurred primarily in time deposits since December 31, 2005.  FHLB short-term borrowings were utilized during the first nine months of 2006; however, there were no such borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2006.  Long-term borrowings declined due to a maturity of $1,600,000 that carried a fixed rate of 2.67%.

Capital

The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources and regulatory guidelines.  Management seeks to maintain a level of capital sufficient to support existing assets and anticipated asset growth, maintain favorable access to capital markets, and preserve high quality credit ratings.

Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines.  The risk-based capital rules are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.  Specifically, each is required to maintain certain minimum dollar amounts and ratios of Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage capital requirements. In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act (FDICIA) established five capital categories ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” To be classified as “well capitalized”, Total risk-based, Tier I risked-based, and Tier I leverage capital ratios must be at least 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively.

Capital ratios as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows:

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

The asset/liability committee addresses the liquidity needs of the Company to see that sufficient funds are available to meet credit demands and deposit withdrawals as well as to the placement of available funds in the investment portfolio.  In assessing liquidity requirements, equal consideration is given to the current position as well as the future outlook.

The following liquidity measures are monitored for compliance within the limits cited:

1.  Net Loans to Total Assets, 100% maximum

2.  Net Loans to Total Deposits, 100% maximum

3.  Cumulative 90 day Maturity GAP %, +/- 20% maximum

4.  Cumulative 1 Year Maturity GAP %, +/- 20%, maximum

Fundamental objectives of the Company’s 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

27




 

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 originations, 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.  Management believes the Bank has adequate resources to meet its normal funding requirements.

Management monitors the Company’s 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 $217,104,000.  In addition to this credit arrangement, the Company has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $25,500,000. Management believes it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding needs.  Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings totaled $84,358,000 as of September 30, 2006.

Interest rate sensitivity, which is closely related to liquidity management, is a function of the repricing characteristics of the Company’s 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 Company’s balance sheet.

28




 

There have been no substantial changes in the Company’s gap analyses or simulation analyses compared to the information provided in the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2005.

Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond in a timely manner when the market interest rate outlook changes.

Inflation

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s gap analyses or simulation analyses compared to the information provided in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2005.  Additional information and details are provided in the Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity section of Item 2. Management’s 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 Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2006.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
