NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in compliance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Because this report is based on
an interim period, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted. The registrant believes that the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information presented a fair representation
of the Corporation's financial status.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for the three-monthsix-month period ended
March 31,June 30, 1999 and 1998 include all adjustments, consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial condition and the results of
operations for the period. The financial performance reported for
the Corporation for the three-monthsix-month period ended March 31,June 30, 1999, is
not necessarily the result to be expected for the full year.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
SFAS No. 133
In June 1998, SFAS No.133,No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued. This Statement
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for
changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended
use of the derivative and the resulting designation. This
Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999, and will not be applied
retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.
Management of the Bank is in the process of evaluating the
impact, if any, this Statement will have on the Bank's
consolidated results of operations or financial position when
adopted.
ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES RETAINED AFTER THE SECURITIZATION OF
MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE BY A MORTGAGE BANKING ENTERPRISE
SFAS No. 134
The Company adopted SFAS No.134,No. 134, "Accounting for
Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise",
effective January 1, 1999. The Statement amends SFAS 65,
"Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities". Statement
65, as amended, requires that after the securitization of a
mortgage loan held for sale, an entity engaged in mortgage
banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed
security as a trading security. This Statement further amends
SFAS 65 to require that after the securitization of mortgage
loans held for sale, an entity engaged in mortgage banking
activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed securities or
other retained interest based on its ability and intent to sell
or hold those investments.
This Statement conforms the subsequent accounting for
securities retained after securitization of mortgage loans by a
mortgage banking entity with the subsequent accounting for
securities retained after the securitization of other types of
assets by nonmortgage banking enterprises. This means that such
securities can be classified as held-to-maturity isif they conform
to the requirements of SFAS 115. The Statement is effective for
the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998. The
adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operation.
3. COMMON STOCK
On September 15, 1998, the Corporation effected a
5-for-2 stock split to shareholders of record on August 15, 1998.
Earnings per share amounts and weighted average shares
outstanding have been restated to give effect to the stock split.
In connection with the stock split, the Corporation amended its
Articles of Incorporation to authorize 12,500,000 shares of $2
par value common stock.
The Company's Common Stock is not listed on the exchange or quoted on
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation
(NASDAQ) system. The Company's Common Stock is traded sparodically in the
over-the-counter market and, accordingly, there is no established public trading
market at this time. The investment firm of Hopper Soliday and Co., Inc.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, makes a limited market in the Company's Common Stock.
As of March 31, 1999, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
was 2,174,585. On March 31, 1999, there was 20,863 outstanding options or
warrants to purchase. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, are both $0.39 as
of March 31, 1999.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation
The following discussion and analysis of the
consolidated financial statements of the Corporation is presented
to provide insight into management's assessment of financial
results. The Corporation's only subsidiary, Peoples National Bank
of Susquehanna County (the "Bank") provides financial services to
individuals and businesses within the Bank's market area made up
of Susquehanna, Wyoming and northern Lackawanna counties in
Pennsylvania, and southern Broome County in New York. The Bank is
a member of the Federal Reserve System and subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and Cash Equivalents:CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:
At March 31,June 30, 1999, cash, federal funds sold and deposits
with other banks totaled $5.527$7.252 million; a decreasean increase of $1.317$1.619
million compared to $6.844$5.633 million at March 31,June 30, 1998 and a decreasean
increase of $754 thousand$2.443 million compared to $4.773
million on December 31, 1998.
Management believes the liquidity needs of the
Corporation are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash
equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding
sources, and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios
that matures within one year. These sources of funds will enable
the Corporation to meet cash obligations as they come due.
Investments:Management is also aware of the possible public demand of cash
due to the concerns over the Year 2000 and has taken necessary
steps to address possible extra liquidity needs.
INVESTMENTS:
Investments totaled $89.073$92.642 million on March 31,June 30, 1999;
increasing $7.714$10.072 million as compared to March 31, 1998,June 30, 1998's total
of $81.359$82.570 million and decreasing $4.102$533 thousand compared to the
total of $93.175 million as compared toheld on December 31, 1998.
The total investment portfolio is held as available for
sale. This strategy was implemented in 1995 to provide more
flexibility in using the investment portfolio for liquidity
purposes as well as providing more flexibility in selling when
market opportunities occur.
Management monitors the earnings performance and
effectiveness of the liquidity of the investment portfolio on a
monthly basis through the Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO")
meetings. The ALCO also reviews and manages interest rate risk
for the Corporation. Through active balance sheet management and
analysis of the investment securities portfolio, the Corporation
maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements
and various credit needs of its customers.
Borrowings:BORROWINGS:
The Bank utilizes borrowing as a source of funds for its
asset/liability management. Advances are available from the FHLB
provided certain standards related to credit worthiness have been
met. Repurchase and term agreements are also available from FHLB.
Total borrowings at March 31,June 30, 1999, were $7.541$8.286 million
as compared to $3.401$4.925 million on March 31,June 30, 1998, showing an
increase of $4.140$3.361 million and a decrease of $746 thousand
compared to the December 31, 1998 total of $9.032 million. On
November 16, 1998, the Bank entered into a term borrowing
agreement with FHLB for $5 Million. This accounts for a large
part of the increase over MarchJune of 1998.
Borrowings have decreased $1.491 million compared to the 1998 year end balance
of $9.032 million.
Loans:LOANS:
The Bank's loan volume has continued to be strongbeen steady through the first
three quarterssix months of 1999. Increasing the loan to deposit ratio is a
goal of the Bank, but loan quality is a requisite in this effort.
Management has continued its efforts to create tighter
underwriting standards for both commercial and consumer credit.
The Bank's lending consists primarily of retail lending which
includes single family residential mortgage and other consumer
lending, and also commercial lending primarily to locally owned
small businesses.
On March 31,June 30, 1999, net loans totaled $143.058$140.776 million as
compared to $128.902$132.009 million on March 31,June 30, 1998 showing an increase
of $14.156$8.767 million in the past year. The loan to deposit ratio was
68.44%66.38% on March 31,June 30, 1999, as compared to 66.24%67.23% on March 31,June 30, 1998.
During the firstsecond quarter of 1999 net loans grewdeclined $ 3.5222.282
million from the prior quarter end total of $143.058 million
which ended the first quarter at $3.42 million over the 1998 year

market area through the offering of various deposit instruments
including NOW accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts,
certificates of deposit and IRAs. Total deposits at March 31,June 30,
1999, were $211.507$215.081 million as compared to $197.187$198.582 million at
March 31,June 30, 1998. This is an increase in deposits of $14.320$16.499 million
or 17%8.3%. The Bank experienced $2.119Deposits totaled $209.881 million inon December 31, 1998.

During the first quarter of 1999, deposits increased $1.626 million
over the December 31, 1998 total of $207.881 million.
Capital:our market, our deposit growth has remained steady.
CAPITAL:
The adequacy of the Corporation's capital is reviewed on
an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition and
quality of the Corporation'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. As of March 31,June 30, 1999, regulatory capital to total
assets was 9.51% as compared to 9.49% on March 31,June 30, 1998.
The Corporation has complied with the standards of
capital adequacy mandated by the banking regulator.regulators. The bank
regulators have established "risk-based" capital requirements
designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios
reflect the relative risks of various assets banks hold in their
portfolios. A weight category of either 0% (lowest risk asset),
20%, 50% or 100% (highest risk assets) is assigned to each asset
on the balance sheet. Capital is being maintained in compliance
with risk-based capital guidelines. The Company's Tier 1 capital
to total risk weighted assets ratio is 16.56%16.96% and the total
capital ratio to total risk weighted assets ratio is 17.76%18.17%. The
Corporation is deemed to be well-capitalized under regulatory
standards.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity:LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY:
Liquidity measures an organization's ability to meet
cash obligations as they come due. The consolidated statement of
cash flows presented in the accompanying financial statements
included in Part I of this Form 10-Q provide analysis of the
Corporation's cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, management
considers that portion of the loan and investment portfolio that
matures within one year as part of the Corporation's liquid
assets.
The ALCO addresses the liquidity needs of the Bank 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 table sets forth the Bank's interest rate
sensitivity as of March
31,June 30, 1999.

The following assumptions have been made in the
foregoing model. Non-interest bearing categories are shown to
reprice 10% of balances in the "within 3 months" period (all
repricing within the first month) and the remaining balances in
the last period. NOW accounts and regular Savings accounts also
reprice 10% of balances in the "within 3 months" and the
remaining balances in the last period. Management can change
these rates, but such changes are infrequent and incrementally
small. History has shown a strong core deposit relationship in
these accounts and little or no run-off if rates change in these
products. Repayment for principal on mortgage backed securities
are projected by expected cash flows as evidenced by recent
history. Repayment of principal for loan categories is projected
at expected maturity (amortization) for fixed rate products and
the next repricing date for variable rate products.

Senior management utilizes detailed analysis of the loan
portfolio monthly to determine loan loss reserve adequacy. The
process considers all 'problem loans'"problem loans" including classified,
criticized and monitored loans. Prior loan loss history and
current market trends, both nationally and locally, are taken
into consideration. A watch list of potential problem loans is
maintained and monitored monthly. This list is reviewed by the
Board of Directors on a monthly basis. The Bank has not had nor
presently has any foreign loans. In addition, the Bank does not
have any concentrations of credit. Based upon this analysis,
senior management has concluded that the allowance of loan loss
is adequate.
The Bank's loan volume continues to be strong. One of
the Bank's main goals is to increase the loan to deposit ratio
without jeopardizing loan quality. To reach its goal, management
has continued its efforts to create tighter underwriting
standards for both commercial and consumer credit. The Bank's
lending consists primarily of retail lending which includes
single family residential mortgages and other consumer lending
and commercial lending primarily to locally owned small
businesses.

Year
YEAR 2000 Compliance:COMPLIANCE:
The Bank utilizes software and related computer technologies
essential to its operations that can be affected by the Year 2000
issues.
In 1998, the Bank assigned a senior officer and the
compliance committee the responsibility to address the risks of
the critical internal bank systems as well as external and
environmental systems.
A comprehensive plan was developed for assessment,
review, remediation testing, and contingency planning.
The assessment, review and remediation stages involved
creating inventory listings of internal and external sources of
hardware, software, and environmental systems, and then
installing all the necessary updates to put all systems at the
required Year 2000 level or version. The loan portfolio was also
inventoried. Selected borrowers were contacted to assess their
Year 2000 readiness to determine the adequacy of our allowances
for loan losses.
The Bank has participated and continues to participate
in a public awareness campaign through mailings, lobby materials,
survey cards, and calling officer visits.
The testing has been completed and contingency planning
is ongoing.
ANNUAL MEETING
Peoples Financial Services Corp's annual meeting was held on
April 24, 1999, at 10:00 a.m.
The setting was the Montrose Bible Conference with about
175 people in attendance. Following a welcome from Mike Karhnak,
Executive Vice President of PNB, Director Judy Kelly proceeded
through the formalities of the election of directors: Jack Norris
and George Stover, Jr., and the ratification of the selection of
the CPA firm; Prociak and Associates, LLC. Debra Dissinger,
Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer spoke on
both Y2K issues and the new technology that will be added to
PNB's quality customer service line.
Next on the agenda was Jack Ord, President and CEO, who
cited some historical facts and reminded shareholders that
Peoples Financial Services Corp. stock has always proved to be a
sound investment. Ord informed shareholders that the first
quarter in 1999, loans are up 11 percent and deposits are up 7.3
percent. He added that PNB will begin to offer annuities, mutual
funds, and insurance products. "This was a missing piece from
being able to provide one-stop financial services to our
customers," Ord said. Ord spoke of another component that should
be functional by the third quarter of 1999 and that is the
Dividend Reinvestment Program.
Following the meeting, shareholders enjoyed a
family-style lunch.
