NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
The financial information includes the accounts of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ended December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Juniata Valley Financial Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The Corporation has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2011 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.
NOTE 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2011-02
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued this Accounting Standards Update (ASU) to clarify the accounting principles applied to loan modifications, as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 310-40,Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. This guidance was prompted by the increased volume in loan modifications prompted by the recent economic downturn. The ASU clarifies guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether or not a concession has been granted, with an emphasis on evaluating all aspects of the modification rather than a focus on specific criteria, such as the effective interest rate test, to determine a concession. The ASU goes on to provide guidance on specific types of modifications such as changes in the interest rate of the borrowing, and insignificant delays in payments, as well as guidance on the creditor’s evaluation of whether or not a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.
For public entities, the amendments in the ASU are effective for the first interim or annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The entity should also disclose information required by ASU 2010-20,Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which had previously been deferred by ASU 2011-01,Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructuringsin ASU No. 2010-20, for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities are required to adopt the amendments in this Update for annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance will not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2010-29
The objective of this ASU is to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations.
Subsection 805-10-50-2(h) requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.
7
Table of Contents
In practice, some preparers have presented the pro forma information in their comparative financial statements as if the business combination that occurred in the current reporting period had occurred as of the beginning of each of the current and prior annual reporting periods. Other preparers have disclosed the pro forma information as if the business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual reporting period only, and carried forward the related adjustments, if applicable, through the current reporting period.
The amendments in this ASU specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only.
The amendments in this ASU also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings.
The amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. This guidance will not have an impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.
ASU 2010-28
The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples in subsection 350-20-35-30, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
These amendments eliminate an entity’s ability to assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform Step 2 because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate the goodwill is more likely than not impaired. As a result, goodwill impairments may be reported sooner than under current practice.
For public entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Nonpublic entities may early adopt the amendments using the effective date for public entities.
Upon adoption of the amendments, an entity with reporting units that have carrying amounts that are zero or negative is required to assess whether it is more likely than not that the reporting units’ goodwill is impaired. If the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the goodwill of one or more of its reporting units is impaired, the entity should perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for those reporting unit(s). Any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the amendments should be included in earnings as required by Section 350-20-35. This guidance will not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 — Comprehensive Income
U.S. GAAP requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and the liability associated with defined benefit plans, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial condition, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
The components of comprehensive income and related tax effects are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 5 — Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation makes commitments to extend credit to its customers through letters of credit, loan commitments and lines of credit. At March 31, 2011, the Corporation had $22,382,000 outstanding in loan commitments and other unused lines of credit extended to its customers as compared to $37,466,000 at December 31, 2010.
The Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its letters of credit. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit have expiration dates within one year of issuance. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risks that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Corporation had outstanding $835,000 and $845,000 of letters of credit commitments as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2011 for payments under letters of credit issued was not material. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk.
NOTE 6 — Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
The Corporation had a defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all of its employees, prior to January 1, 2008. Effective January 1, 2008, the plan was amended to close the plan to new entrants. The benefits under the plan are based on years of service and the employees’ compensation. The Corporation’s funding policy allows contributions annually up to the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income taxes purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The Corporation has made no contributions in the first three months of 2011 and does not expect to contribute to the defined benefit plan in the remainder of 2011. Pension expense included the following components for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

NOTE 7— Acquisition
In 2006, the Corporation acquired a branch office in Richfield, PA. The acquisition included real estate, deposits and loans. The assets and liabilities of the acquired business were recorded on the consolidated statement of financial condition at their estimated fair values as of September 8, 2006, and their results of operations have been included in the consolidated statements of income since such date.
Included in the purchase price of the branch was goodwill and core deposit intangible of $2,046,000 and $449,000, respectively. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over a ten-year period on a straight line basis. During the first three months of 2011 and 2010, amortization expense was $11,000. Accumulated amortization of core deposit intangible through March 31, 2011 was $206,000. The goodwill is not amortized, but is measured annually for impairment.

NOTE 8 — Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary
The Corporation owns 39.16% of the outstanding common stock of The First National Bank of Liverpool (FNBL), Liverpool, PA. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The investment is being carried at $3,607,000 as of March 31, 2011. The Corporation increases its investment in FNBL for its share of earnings and decreases its investment by any dividends received from FNBL. A loss in value of the investment which is other than a temporary decline will be recognized. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of FNBL to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
NOTE 9 — Securities
ASC Topic 320,Investments — Debt and Equity Securities, clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities, management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery. These steps are done before assessing whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment.
In instances when a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists but the investor does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security prior to its anticipated recovery. The other-than-temporary impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, by contractual maturity, are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the securities may be called or prepaid with or without prepayment penalties.

The unrealized losses noted above are considered to be temporary impairments. There are five debt securities that have had unrealized losses for more than 12 months. Decline in the value of our debt securities is due only to interest rate fluctuations, rather than erosion of quality. As a result, we believe that the payment of contractual cash flows, including principal repayment, is not at risk. As management does not intend to sell the securities, does not believe the Corporation will be required to sell the securities before recovery and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis, none of the debt securities are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Table of Contents
Equity securities owned by the Corporation consist of common stock of various financial services providers (“Bank Stocks”) and are evaluated quarterly for evidence of other-than-temporary impairment. Considerations used to determine other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) status for individual holdings include the length of time the stock has remained in an unrealized loss position, the percentage of unrealized loss compared to the carrying cost of the stock, dividend reduction or suspension, market analyst reviews and expectations, and other pertinent developments that would affect expectations for recovery or further decline. There were six equity securities that comprise a group of securities with unrealized losses for 12 months or more at March 31, 2011. In the aggregate and individually, the unrealized loss on this group of securities did not significantly change from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, and, individually, none of these six have significant monetary unrealized losses. Management has identified no new other-than-temporary impairment as of March 31, 2011 in the equity portfolio.
We understand that stocks can be cyclical and will experience some down periods. Historically, bank stocks have sustained cyclical losses, followed by periods of substantial gains. When market values of the bank stocks recover, accounting standards do not allow reversal of any previous other-than-temporary impairment charge until the security is sold, at which time any proceeds above the carrying value will be recognized as gains on the sale of investment securities.
Certain obligations of the U.S. Government and state and political subdivisions are pledged to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The fair value of the pledged assets amounted to $30,937,000 and $31,951,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
In addition to cash received from the scheduled maturities of securities, some investment securities available for sale are sold at current market values during the course of normal operations and some securities are called pursuant to call features built into the bonds.

NOTE 10 — Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of any deferred fees or costs, unearned income and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income on all loans, other than nonaccrual loans, is accrued over the term of the loans based on the amount of principal outstanding. Unearned income is amortized to income over the life of the loans, using the interest method.
The loan portfolio is segmented into commercial and consumer loans. These broad categories are further disaggregated into classes of loans used for analysis and reporting. Classes consist of (1) commercial, financial and agricultural, (2) commercial real estate, (3) real estate construction, (4) residential mortgage loans, (5) home equity loans, (6) obligations of states and political subdivisions and (7) personal loans.
13
Table of Contents
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of principal or interest. However, it is the Corporation’s policy to continue to accrue interest on loans over 90 days past due as long as they are (1) guaranteed or well secured and (2) there is an effective means of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed against current period income and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, accruals are resumed on loans only when the obligation is brought fully current with respect to interest and principal, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
The Corporation’s intent is to hold loans in the portfolio until maturity. At the time the Corporation’s intent is no longer to hold loans to maturity based on asset/liability management practices, the Corporation transfers loans from its portfolio to held for sale at fair value. Any write-down recorded upon transfer is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Any write-downs recorded after the initial transfer are recorded as a charge to Other Non-Interest Expense. Gains or losses recognized upon sale are recorded as Other Non-Interest Income/Expense.
The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in its unfunded lending commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
For financial reporting purposes, the provision for loan losses charged to current operating income is based on management’s estimates, and actual losses may vary from estimates. These estimates are reviewed and adjusted at least quarterly and are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. The loan loss provision for federal income tax purposes is based on current income tax regulations, which allow for deductions equal to net charge-offs.
Loans included in any class are considered for charge-off when:
(1) | principal or interest has been in default for 120 days or more and for which no payment has been received during the previous four months; |
(2) | all collateral securing the loan has been liquidated and a deficiency balance remains; |
(3) | a bankruptcy notice is received for an unsecured loan; or |
(4) | the loan is deemed to be uncollectible for any other reason. |
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to offset probable losses on the Corporation’s existing loans. This analysis relies heavily on changes in observable trends that may indicate potential credit weaknesses. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses to be adequate.
There are two components of the allowance: a component for loans that are deemed to be impaired; and a component for contingencies.

Table of Contents
A large commercial loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, 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. (A “large” loan (or group of like-loans within one relationship) is defined as a commercial/business loan, with an aggregate outstanding balance in excess of $150,000, or any other loan that management deems of similar characteristics inherent to the deficiencies of an impaired large loan by definition.) Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Corporation’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. For commercial loans secured with real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include the estimated costs to sell the property. For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The Bank generally does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement.
Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Corporation grants such borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring generally involve a temporary reduction in interest rate or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for a period of time after modification. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired.
The component of the allowance for contingincies relates to other loans that have been segmented into risk rated categories. The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated quarterly or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis or current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated pass. Specific reserves may be established for larger, individual classified loans as a result of this evaluation. Remaining loans are categorized into large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans and are collectively evaluated for impairment. This computation is generally based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative risk factors include:
1. | National, regional and local economic and business conditions as well as the condition of various market segments, including the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; |
2. | Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans; |
3. | Experience, ability and depth of lending and credit management and staff; |
4. | Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications; |
5. | Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and |
6. | Effect of external factors, including competition. |
Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation.

Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Lending- The Corporation originates commercial, financial and agricultural loans primarily to businesses located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. These loans are used for various business purposes which include short-term loans and lines of credit to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory and accounts receivable. Generally, the maximum term for loans extended on machinery and equipment is shorter or does not exceed the projected useful life of such machinery and equipment. Most business lines of credit are written on demand and may be renewed annually.
Commercial loans are generally secured with short-term assets, however, in many cases, additional collateral such as real estate is provided as additional security for the loan. Loan-to-value maximum values have been established by the Corporation and are specific to the type of collateral. Collateral values may be determined using invoices, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging reports, collateral appraisals, etc.
In underwriting commercial loans, an analysis of the borrower’s character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral, as well as an evaluation of conditions affecting the borrower, is performed. Analysis of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of the Corporation’s analysis.
Concentration analysis assists in identifying industry specific risk inherent in commercial, financial and agricultural lending. Mitigants include the identification of secondary and tertiary sources of repayment and appropriate increases in oversight.
Commercial loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.
Commercial Real Estate Lending— The Corporation engages in commercial real estate lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Corporation’s commercial loan portfolio is secured primarily by residential housing, raw land and hotels. Generally, commercial real estate loans have terms that do not exceed 20 years, have loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property and are typically secured by personal guarantees of the borrowers.
As economic conditions deteriorate, the Corporation reduces its exposure in real estate segments with higher risk characteristics. In underwriting these loans, the Corporation performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Corporation are performed by independent appraisers.
Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions.
Real Estate Construction Lending— The Corporation engages in real estate construction lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Corporation’s real estate construction lending consists of commercial and residential site development loans, as well as commercial building construction and residential housing construction loans.
The Corporation’s commercial real estate construction loans are generally secured with the subject property and advances are made in conformity with a pre-determined draw schedule supported by independent inspections. Terms of construction loans depend on the specifics of the project, such as estimated absorption rates, estimated time to complete, etc.
In underwriting commercial real estate construction loans, the Corporation performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the project using feasibility studies, market data, etc. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Corporation are performed by independent appraisers.
Real estate construction loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions and the difficulty of estimating total construction costs.

Table of Contents
Residential Mortgage Lending— One — to four-family residential mortgage loan originations are generated by the Corporation’s marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in customers and referrals. These loans originate primarily within the Corporation’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.
The Corporation offers fixed-rate and adjustable rate mortgage loans with terms up to a maximum of 25-years for both permanent structures and those under construction. The Corporation’s one- to four-family residential mortgage originations are secured primarily by properties located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The majority of the Corporation’s residential mortgage loans originate with a loan-to-value of 80% or less.
In underwriting one-to-four family residential real estate loans, the Corporation evaluates the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments, the borrower’s repayment history and the value of the property securing the loan. Properties securing real estate loans made by the Corporation are appraised by independent fee appraisers. The Corporation generally requires borrowers to obtain an attorney’s title opinion or title insurance, and fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan. The Corporation does not engage in sub-prime residential mortgage originations.
Residential mortgage loans generally present a lower level of risk than other types of consumer loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence.
Home Equity Installment and Line of Credit Lending— The Corporation originates home equity installment loans and home equity lines of credit primarily within the Corporation’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.
Home equity installment loans are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 80% and a maximum term of 15 years.
Home equity lines of credit are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 90% and a maximum term of 20 years.
In underwriting home equity lines of credit, a thorough analysis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan as agreed is performed. The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions, and credit background. The analysis is based primarily on the customer’s ability to repay and secondarily on the collateral or security.
Home equity loans generally present a lower level of risk than other types of consumer loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence.
Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions— The Corporation lends to local municipalities and other tax-exempt organizations. These loans are primarily tax-anticipation notes and as such carry little risk. Historically, the Corporation has never had a loss on any loan of this type.
Personal Lending— The Corporation offers a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including vehicle, mobile homes and loans secured by savings deposits, as well as other types of personal loans.
Personal loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral and creditworthiness of the borrower. In underwriting personal loans, a thorough analysis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan as agreed is performed. The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions, and credit background. Personal loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of personal loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles or recreational equipment. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted personal loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, personal loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

The Corporation has certain loans in its portfolio that are considered to be impaired. It is the policy of the Corporation to recognize income on impaired loans that have been transferred to nonaccrual status on a cash basis, only to the extent that it exceeds principal balance recovery. Until an impaired loan is placed on nonaccrual status, income is recognized on the accrual basis. The following tables summarize information regarding impaired loans by portfolio class as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

NOTE 11 — Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Additional guidance is provided on determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. The guidance also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.
Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed, and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with fair value measurement and disclosure guidance.
This guidance clarifies that, when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly and the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly. The guidance provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.

Table of Contents
Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not to be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
Level 2 Inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. |
Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. |
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the counter party’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Corporation’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Corporation’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Securities Available for Sale.Debt securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Corporation obtains fair value measurement from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Equity securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
Impaired Loans. Certain impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized valuation criteria.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands). There were no transfers of assets between fair value Level 1 and Level 2 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective quarter ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each quarter end.
The information presented above should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is provided only for a limited portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.
The following describes the estimated fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments as well as the significant methods and assumptions used to determine these estimated fair values.
Carrying values approximate fair value for cash and due from banks, interest-bearing demand deposits with other banks, federal funds sold, restricted stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, interest receivable, non-interest bearing demand deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and interest payable.
Interest bearing time deposits with banks— The estimated fair value is determined by discounting the contractual future cash flows, using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Securities Available for Sale— Debt securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Corporation obtains fair value measurement from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Equity securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs.

Table of Contents
Loans— For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and which entail no significant changes in credit risk, carrying values approximated fair value. Substantially all commercial loans and real estate mortgages are variable rate loans. The fair value of other loans (i.e. consumer loans and fixed-rate real estate mortgages) are estimated by calculating the present value of the cash flow difference between the current rate and the market rate, for the average maturity, discounted quarterly at the market rate.
Fixed rate time deposits— The estimated fair value is determined by discounting the contractual future cash flows, using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Other interest bearing liabilities— The fair values of other interest bearing liabilities are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit— The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit worthiness of the counterparties. The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements.

Some of these policies require significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions to be made by management, most particularly in connection with determining the provision for loan losses and the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, as well as management’s evaluation of the investment portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment.
General:
The following discussion relates to the consolidated financial condition of the Corporation as of March 31, 2011, as compared to December 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein.

As of March 31, 2011, the Corporation evaluated its large commercial loan relationships and other significant loans for impairment. Of the eight loan relationships considered to be impaired that were evaluated by management, there is one loan relationship with respect to which management determined that it is probable that principal and interest will not be collected in full. This loan relationship has an aggregate outstanding balance of $2,136,000. The amount of impairment estimated for these collateral-dependent loans included in the loan relationship is $570,000 and a specific allocation has been included within the loan loss reserve for these loans, adjusting the carrying value of these loans to the fair value of $1,566,000. Management believes that the specific reserve is adequate to cover potential future losses related to this relationship. Other loans evaluated for impairment have an aggregate outstanding balance of $4,713,000, but it has been determined that there is sufficient collateral to expect full repayment, and no impairment charge has been recorded. Otherwise, there are no material loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention which management expects to significantly impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. Following is a summary of the Bank’s non-performing loans on March 31, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $73,000, or 0.1%, from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Net income of $1,239,000 increased stockholders’ equity, while dividends paid of $894,000 and cash used to purchase Corporation stock into treasury of $331,000 reduced the Corporation’s capital position. The Corporation repurchased stock into treasury pursuant to its stock repurchase program. During the first three months of 2011, the Corporation purchased 19,500 shares. Securities available for sale decreased in market value, representing a decrease to equity of $119,000, net of taxes while accounting for stock-based compensation activity increased equity by $6,000. An adjustment of $26,000 was made to equity to record the amortization of net periodic pension costs of the Corporation’s defined benefit retirement plan.
Management is not aware of any current recommendations of applicable regulatory authorities that, if implemented, would have a material effect on the Corporation’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations.
Subsequent to March 31, 2011, the following events took place:
On April 19, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend for the second quarter of 2011 of $0.21 per share to shareholders of record on May 16, 2011, payable on June 1, 2011.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
Operations Overview:
Net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $1,239,000, an increase of $51,000, or 4.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2010. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.29 in the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 7.4% over the $0.27 earned in the first quarter of 2010. Annualized return on average equity for the first quarter in 2011 was 9.96%, compared to the ratio for the same period in the prior year of 9.32%, an increase of 6.9%. For the quarter ended March 31, annualized return on average assets was 1.13% in 2011, versus 1.09% in 2010.

The discussion that follows explains changes in the components of net income when comparing the first quarter of 2011 with the first quarter of 2010.
Net Interest Income:
Net interest income was $3,905,000 for the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $3,996,000 in the same quarter in 2010. Average earning assets grew by 0.5%, while the net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis decreased by 15 basis points.
Interest on loans decreased $444,000, or 8.8%, in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. An average weighted interest rate decrease of 25 basis points lowered interest income by approximately $167,000, with the remaining decrease attributable to a lower volume of loans.
Interest earned on investment securities and money market investments decreased $22,000 in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010, with average balances increasing $19.2 million during the period. The yield on money market investments (federal funds and interest bearing deposits) decreased by 23 basis points in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, due to the reduction in rates earned on interest bearing balances with other financial institutions. Likewise, the overall pre-tax yield on the investment securities portfolio decreased during that same timeframe by 57 basis points.
Average interest-bearing deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $666,000, while average non-interest bearing deposits grew by $6,678,000. This change in the mix of deposits, in addition to the lower general rate environment, contributed to the reduction in the cost to fund earning assets, which was reduced by 39 basis points, to 1.21%, in the first quarter of 2011.
Total average earning assets during the first quarter of 2011 were $397,510,000, compared to $395,687,000 during the first quarter of 2010, yielding 5.14% in 2011 versus 5.65% in 2010. Funding costs for the earning assets were 1.21% and 1.60% for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2011 was 4.12%. For the same period in 2010, the fully-tax equivalent net interest margin was 4.27%.
Provision for Loan Losses:
In the first quarter of 2011, the provision for loan losses was $88,000, as compared to a provision of $285,000 in the first quarter of 2010. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the loan loss reserve and makes assessments as to specific loan impairment, historical charge-off expectations, general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area, specific loan quality and other factors. The decreased provision was primarily the result of analysis of the values of collateral securing non-performing and impaired loans as well as the reduction in overall outstanding loan balances.
Non-interest Income:
Non-interest income in the first quarter of 2011 was $1,024,000, essentially the same as the $1,023,000 in the first quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents
Trust fee income was $7,000, or 5.8%, less in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, and commissions from sales of non-deposit products in the first quarter of 2011 were 7.3%, or $7,000, higher than in the same quarter of the previous year.
Customer service fees declined by $70,000, or 18.3%, in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 as a direct result of regulations enacted in July of 2010 that prohibit banks from charging certain fees for services provided to customers that overdraw deposit accounts.
Sales of properties carried as other real estate generated net gains of $15,000 in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to a net loss of $1,000 during the same period one year earlier. An increase in fees derived from electronic payment activity through the use of debit cards was primarily responsible for the increase in other noninterest income in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010.
As a percentage of average assets, annualized non-interest income, exclusive of net gains on the sale of securities, was 0.93% in both the first quarter periods of 2011 and 2010.
Non-interest Expense:
Total non-interest expense increased $33,000, or 1.0%, in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010.
Employee compensation expense and employee benefits combined for a total of $1,656,000 in the first quarter of 2011, representing a decrease in expense of $46,000 when compared to the first quarter of 2010. Temporary staffing reductions, coupled with reductions in costs for medical insurance and net periodic expense for the Corporation’s defined benefit plan were responsible for the variance. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by a combined total of $46,000, or 13.1%, in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, due to higher utility costs, fixed asset additions and facilities maintenance. Data processing expenses in the first quarter of 2011 were less than in the first quarter of 2010 by $43,000, resulting from cost benefits realized from the major data processing conversion that took place in the second quarter of 2010. Professional fees were 49.5%, or $46,000, greater in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to the first quarter of 2010, due to some fees incurred for consulting services that occur infrequently. The increase in other noninterest expense of $57,000 was primarily due to the costs associated with maintaining foreclosed assets, such as legal fees and delinquent real estate taxes.
As a percentage of average assets, annualized non-interest expense was 2.91% in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2.88% in the same period of 2010, an increase of 3 basis points.
Provision for income taxes:
Income tax expense in the first quarter of 2011 was $23,000, or 5.7%, higher than in the same time period in 2010. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2011 was 25.5% versus 25.2% in 2010.
Liquidity:
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that sufficient funding is available, at a reasonable cost, to meet the ongoing operational cash needs of the Corporation and to take advantage of income producing opportunities as they arise. While the desired level of liquidity will vary depending upon a variety of factors, it is the primary goal of the Corporation to maintain a high level of liquidity in all economic environments. Principal sources of asset liquidity are provided by securities maturing in one year or less, other short-term investments such as federal funds sold and cash and due from banks. Liability liquidity, which is more difficult to measure, can be met by attracting deposits and maintaining the core deposit base. The Corporation is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh for the purpose of providing short-term liquidity when other sources are unable to fill these needs. During the first three months of 2011, there were no borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of March 31, 2011, the Corporation had no long-term debt and had unused borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $158 million.
Funding derived from securities sold under agreements to repurchase (accounted for as collateralized financing transactions) is available through corporate cash management accounts for business customers. This product gives the Corporation the ability to pay interest on corporate checking accounts.

In view of the sources previously mentioned, management believes that the Corporation’s liquidity is capable of providing the funds needed to meet loan demand.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk. These commitments consist mainly of loans approved but not yet funded, unused lines of credit and letters of credit issued using the same credit standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment terms. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the financial performance obligation of a customer to a third party. Unused commitments and letters of credit at March 31, 2011 were $22,382,000 and $835,000, respectively. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Corporation. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations. The Corporation has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.
Interest Rate Sensitivity:
Interest rate sensitivity management is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee. This process involves the development and implementation of strategies to maximize net interest margin, while minimizing the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. Traditional gap analysis identifies the maturity and re-pricing terms of all assets and liabilities. A simulation analysis is used to assess earnings and capital at risk from movements in interest rates. See Item 3 for a description of the complete simulation process and results.
Capital Adequacy:
Bank regulatory authorities in the United States issue risk-based capital standards. These capital standards relate a banking company’s capital to the risk profile of its assets and provide the basis by which all banking companies and banks are evaluated in terms of capital adequacy. The risk-based capital standards require all banks to have Tier 1 capital of at least 4% and total capital, including Tier 1 capital, of at least 8% of risk-adjusted assets. Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders’ equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock together with related surpluses and retained earnings. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital, limited life preferred stock, qualifying debt instruments, and the reserves for possible loan losses. Banking regulators have also issued leverage ratio requirements. The leverage ratio requirement is measured as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average assets. At March 31, 2011, the Bank exceeded the regulatory requirements to be considered a “well capitalized” financial institution, i.e., a leverage ratio exceeding 5%, Tier 1 capital exceeding 6% and total capital exceeding 10%.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. The types of market risk exposures generally faced by financial institutions include equity market price risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations, only equity market price risk and interest rate risk are significant to the Corporation.
Equity market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of equity investments could have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation. The Corporation’s equity investments consist of common stocks of publicly traded financial institutions.
Recent declines and volatility in the values of financial institution stocks have significantly reduced the likelihood of realizing significant gains in the near-term. Although the Corporation has realized occasional gains from this portfolio in the past, the primary objective of the portfolio is to achieve value appreciation in the long term while earning consistent attractive after-tax yields from dividends. The carrying value of the financial institutions stocks accounted for 0.2% of the Corporation’s total assets as of March 31, 2011. Management performs an impairment analysis on the entire investment portfolio, including the financial institutions stocks, on a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2011, no “other-than-temporary” impairment was identified. There is no assurance that further declines in market values of the common stock portfolio in the future will not result in “other-than-temporary” impairment charges, depending upon facts and circumstances present.

Table of Contents
The equity investments in the Corporation’s portfolio had an adjusted cost basis of approximately $935,000 and a fair value of $983,000 at March 31, 2011. Net unrealized gains in this portfolio were approximately $49,000 at March 31, 2011.
In addition to its equity portfolio, the Corporation’s investment management and trust services revenue could be impacted by fluctuations in the securities markets. A portion of the Corporation’s trust revenue is based on the value of the underlying investment portfolios. If securities values decline, the Corporation’s trust revenue could be negatively impacted.
Interest rate risk creates exposure in two primary areas. First, changes in rates have an impact on the Corporation’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow. Second, movements in interest rates can create fluctuations in the Corporation’s net interest income and changes in the economic value of equity.
The primary objective of the Corporation’s asset-liability management process is to maximize current and future net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain amount of interest rate risk is inherent, appropriate and necessary to ensure profitability. A simulation analysis is used to assess earnings and capital at risk from movements in interest rates. The model considers three major factors of (1) volume differences, (2) repricing differences, and (3) timing in its income simulation. As of the most recent model run, data was disseminated into appropriate repricing buckets, based upon the static position at that time. The interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were assigned a multiplier to simulate how much that particular balance sheet item would re-price when interest rates change. Finally, the estimated timing effect of rate changes is applied, and the net interest income effect is determined on a static basis (as if no other factors were present). As the table below indicates, based upon rate shock simulations on a static basis, the Corporation’s balance sheet is relatively rate-neutral as rates decline. Each 100 basis point increase results in approximately $351,000 decline in net interest income in the static environment. This negative effect of rising rates is offset to a large degree by the positive effect of imbedded options that include loans floating above their floors and likely internal deposit pricing strategies. After applying the effects of options, over a one-year period, the net effect of an immediate 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point rate increase would change net interest income by $(27,000), $(25,000), $(856,000) and $(906,000), respectively. Rate shock modeling was done for a declining rate of 25 basis points only, as the federal funds target rate currently is between zero and 0.25%. As the table below indicates, the net effect of interest rate risk on net interest income is essentially neutral in a rising rate environment through a 200 basis point increase. Juniata’s rate risk policies provide for maximum limits on net interest income that can be at risk for 100 through 400 basis point changes in interest rates.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2011, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), Rule 13a-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Corporation reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. These controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote.
Attached as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this quarterly report are certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer required in accordance with Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act. This portion of the Corporation’s quarterly report includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
