NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Citizens Financial Services, Inc., (individually and collectively, the "Company") is a Pennsylvania corporation organized as the holding company of its wholly owned subsidiary, First Citizens National Bank (the "Bank"). Our Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of our wholly owned subsidiary's financial conditions and results of operations. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2001, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Note 2 - Earnings per Share

Earnings per share calculations give retroactive effect to stock dividends declared by the Company. The number of shares used in the earnings per share and dividends per share calculation was 2,772,247 for 2001 and 2,777,884 for 2000.

Note 3 - Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense is less than the amount calculated using the statutory tax rate, primarily the result of tax-exempt income earned from state and municipal securities and loans and investment in tax credits.

Note 4 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 141,Business Combinations, effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. The new statement requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method. The adoption of Statement No. 141 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The new statement changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of this Statement. At June 30, 2001, the Company has approximately $9.3 million of intangibles resulting from the purchase of loans, deposits and banking facilities from other financial institutions. Currently management is evaluating what effect the adoption of Statement No. 142 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT

This report contains "forward-looking statements" which may prove inaccurate. We have made forward-looking statements in this document, and in documents that we incorporate by reference, that are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of Citizens Financial Services, Inc., First Citizens National Bank, or the combined company. When we use words like "believes", "expects", "anticipates", or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For a variety of reasons, actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by forward-looking statements:

• Interest rates could change more rapidly or more significantly than we expect.
• The economy could change significantly in an unexpected way, which would cause the demand for new loans and the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans may change in ways that our models do not anticipate.
• The stock and bond markets could suffer a significant disruption, which may have a negative effect on our financial condition and that of our borrowers, and on our ability to raise money by issuing new securities.
• It could take us longer than we anticipate to implement strategic initiatives designed to increase revenues or manage expenses, or we may be unable to implement those initiatives at all.
• Acquisitions and dispositions of assets could affect us in ways that management has not anticipated.
• We may become subject to new legal obligations or the resolution of existing litigation may have a negative effect on our financial condition.
• We may become subject to new and unanticipated accounting, tax, or regulatory practices or requirements.

INTRODUCTION

The following is management's discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in its accompanying consolidated financial statements for Citizens Financial Services, Inc., a bank holding company and its subsidiary (the Company). Our Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of our wholly owned subsidiary's (First Citizens National Bank) financial conditions and results of operations. Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the preceding June 30, 2001 financial information. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results you may expect for the full year.

Our Company currently engages in the general business of banking throughout our service area of Potter, Tioga and Bradford counties in North Central Pennsylvania and Allegany, Steuben, Chemung and Tioga counties in Southern New York. Our lending and deposit products and investment services are offered primarily within the vicinity of our service area.

Risk identification and management are essential elements for the successful management of the Company. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various types of risk, including interest rate, credit, and liquidity risk.

Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income and the market value of financial instruments to the direction and frequency of changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk results from various re-pricing frequencies and the maturity structure of the financial instruments owned by the Company. The Company uses its asset/liability management policy to control and manage interest rate risk.

Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk results from loans with customers and purchasing of securities. The Company's primary credit risk is in the loan portfolio. The Company manages credit risk by adhering to an established credit policy and through a disciplined evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Also, the investment policy limits the amount of credit risk that may be taken in the investment portfolio.

Liquidity risk represents the inability to generate or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers and obligations to depositors. The Company has established guidelines within its asset/liability policy to manage liquidity risk. These guidelines include contingent funding alternatives.

Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents our Company files, from time to time, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, filed by our Company and any Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by our Company.

We face strong competition in the communities we serve from other commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations, some of which are substantially larger institutions than our subsidiary. In addition, insurance companies, investment-counseling firms, and other business firms and individuals offer personal and corporate trust services. We also compete with credit unions, issuers of money market funds, securities brokerage firms, consumer finance companies, mortgage brokers and insurance companies. These entities are strong competitors for virtually all types of financial services.

In recent years, the financial services industry has experienced tremendous change to competitive barriers between bank and non-bank institutions. We not only must compete with traditional financial institutions, but also with other business corporations that have begun to deliver competing financial services. Competition for banking services is based on price, nature of product, quality of service, and in the case of certain activities, convenience of location.

TRUST AND INVESTMENT SERVICES

Investment Management and Trust Services:

Our Company offers a full range of Trust Department services from investment management to estate settlement. We can assist our clients in financial planning and help to determine if they would benefit from a Living Trust or if they need to plan for a trust under will. We have a variety of retirement plans available to suit an individual's needs including rollover IRA's. We manage money for a variety of different charitable and community organizations and we manage several foundations in which the income supports charitable organizations. For individual, family and community organizations we are able to tailor an account aimed at meeting financial goals.

We offer business, professional and government clients a full range of employee retirement plan services including 401k, 403b and other pension, retirement savings and welfare plans.

Insurance and Investment Services through INVEST Financial Corp:

Through an agreement with INVEST Financial Corporation, member NASD/SIPC, a registered broker dealer, not affiliated with First Citizens National Bank, insurance and brokerage services are provided at our 15 South Main Street, Mansfield; Lockhart Street, Sayre; 2 West Main Street, Troy and 99 Main street, Wellsboro offices. Securities and insurance products offered through INVEST arenot insured by the FDIC; not a deposit or other obligation of, or guaranteed by any bank and subject to risks including the possible loss of principal amount invested.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets (shown in the Consolidated Balance Sheet) have grown 2.6% since year-end 2000 to $424.2 million. Total loans increased 1.6% to $264.4 million and investment securities increased 6.6% to $106.5 million since year-end 2000. Total deposits increased 2.6% to $377.3 million since year-end 2000. Explanations of variances will be described with in the following appropriate sections.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $27,617,000 at June 30, 2001 compared to $27,618,000 on December 31, 2000. Noninterest-bearing cash decreased $5,414,000 since year-end 2000, while interest-bearing cash increased $5,413,000 during that same period.

We believe the liquidity needs of the Company, 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 mature within one year. These sources of funds will enable the Company to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due.

INVESTMENTS

Our investment portfolio increased by $6,556,000 or 6.6% from December 31, 2000 to June 30, 2001. We were able to increase our investments primarily as the result of excess funds acquired with the Acquisition. During the first six months, we sold approximately $2,000,000 of Municipal Bonds along with $8,132,000 of Corporate Bonds and re-invested the proceeds into lower risk-weighted investments. These investments were made in Agency Mortgage-backed securities to supplement the slow loan growth at the beginning of the year and improve the Company's risk-based capital position.

Management monitors the earnings performance and the effectiveness of the liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the securities portfolio, the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and various credit needs of its customers.

LOANS

The Company's loan demand increased slightly during the first six months of 2001. We anticipate loan demand will pickup during the remainder of 2001 as a result of re-financings that will be taking place due to the current lower interest rate environment and our continued efforts to grow the new offices that we acquired from the Acquisition. The Company's lending is focused in the north central Pennsylvania market and the southern tier of New York. The composition of our loan portfolio consists principally of retail lending, which includes single-family residential mortgages and other consumer lending, and commercial lending primarily to locally owned small businesses. New loans are generated primarily from direct loans to our existing customer base, with new customers generated by referrals from real estate brokers, building contractors, attorneys, accountants and existing customers.

As shown in the following tables (dollars in thousands), the change in net loans increased by $4,231,000 or 1.6% for the period compared to the December 31, 2000. Residential mortgage lending is a principal business activity and one our Company expects to continue by providing a full complement of competitively priced conforming, nonconforming and home equity mortgages.

Total loans	$ 4,498	1.7

During the current period Residential loans increased 3.8% or $5,887,000 when compared to December 31, 2000. The result of this increase is primarily due to our home equity loan promotion during the first six months of 2001 in an effort to grow loans, especially in the new offices.

The reduction in interest rates during 2001, have caused loan originations to pick-up during the first six months of 2001. We expect that loan growth will continue for the rest of the year.

Our focus on commercial lending continues to be expanded over the past several years with the establishment of a core group of commercial lenders to handle a higher volume of small business loans.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

As shown in the following table (dollars in thousands), the Allowance for Loan Losses as a percentage of loans increased from 1.06%, at December 31, 2000, to 1.14%, at June 30, 2001. The dollar amount of the reserve increased $273,000, since year-end 2000. The increase is a result of the provision of $195,000 expensed during the first six months less net charge-offs. Gross charge-offs for the first six months of 2001 were $85,000, while recoveries were $163,000. During the first six months of 2001, we recovered $150,000 from one borrower that was previously charged-off during the fourth quarter of 1999. We do not expect to receive any more additional funds from this customer.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subject to a formal analysis by management of the Company. Management deems the allowance to be adequate to absorb probable losses in the portfolio, as of June 30, 2001. The Company has disclosed in its annual report on Form 10-K the process and methodology supporting the loan loss provision.

DEPOSITS

Traditional deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds for the Company. As shown in the following tables (dollars in thousands), deposits increased $9,513,000 or 2.6%, since December 31, 2000. Non-interest-bearing deposits decreased $5,838,000, at June 30, 2001, as a result of abnormally high year-end balances of approximately $5,500,000, which subsequently were withdrawn shortly after year-end.

BORROWED FUNDS

Borrowed funds increased $293,000 during the first six months of 2001. The Company's daily cash requirements or short-term investments are met by using the financial instruments available through the Federal Home Loan Bank. On October 30, 2000, we paid down all of our borrowings (approximately $30 million) at the Federal Home Loan Bank with the funds obtained from the acquisition, discussed previously.

In November 2000, the holding company borrowed $2,000,000 to invest in the bank subsidiary. This increased the Bank's capital and improved the negative impact on the regulatory capital ratios as a result of the branch acquisition (approximately $9.7 million in goodwill).

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

We evaluate stockholders' equity in relation to total assets and the risk associated with those assets. The greater the capital resources, the more likely a corporation is to meet its cash obligations and absorb unforeseen losses. For these reasons, capital adequacy has been, and will continue to be, of paramount importance.

Total Stockholders' Equity was $31,891,000, at June 30, 2001 compared to $30,549,000, at December 31, 2000, an increase of $1,342,000 or 4.4%. In the first six months, the Company earned $1,828,000 and declared dividends of $873,000, a dividend payout ratio of 47.8% of net income.

All of the Company's investment securities are classified as available-for-sale making this portion of the Company's balance sheet more sensitive to the changing market value of investments. Short-term interest rates in the first six months of 2001 have dropped approximately 275 basis points. This situation has caused an increase of $388,000 since December 31, 2000 in the accumulated other comprehensive income which is included in stockholders' equity.

On July 30, 1999, our Company began a plan to purchase, in open market or privately negotiated transactions, up to 135,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. This stock repurchase program was suspended, in April 2000, because of the acquisition. However, a total of 55,162 shares were repurchased at a cost of approximately $1 million as of June 30, 2001.

The Company has also complied with standards of capital adequacy mandated by the banking regulators. The Company's primary regulators have established "risk-based" capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks associated with various assets, entities hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets), is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. The Company's computed risk-based capital ratios are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	June 30,		December 31,
	2001		2000
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	Amount	Ratio	Amount	Ratio
Company	$ 25,099	9.89%	$ 23,295	8.89%

See the discussion of liquidity below for details regarding the expansion project and the impact on capital.

On April 4, 2001, our Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 establishing a Dividend Re-Investment Plan (DRIP), which will be effective for the July 2001 dividend.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW OF THE INCOME STATEMENT

The Company had net income of $1,037,000 and $1,828,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2001, respectively. Earnings per share, for the respective periods were $0.37 and $0.66. Net income was $897,000 and $1,835,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2000, which equates to earnings per share of $0.32 and $0.66, respectively. The return on assets and the return on equity, for the six months of 2001, were 0.89% and 11.97%. Details of the reasons for this change are discussed on the following pages.

Operating cash earnings (net income before amortization of intangible assets and merger and acquisition costs, net of tax) was $1,204,000 and $2,163,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 2001, respectively, an increase of $289,000 and $256,000, from the $915,000 and $1,907,000 for the 2000 related period. Operating cash earnings per share was $0.43 and $0.78, during the second quarter and first six months of 2001, compared with $0.33 and $0.69, during the comparable 2000 period.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, the most significant component of earnings, is the amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income, after provision for loan losses, totaled $3,451,000 in the second quarter, an increase of $605,000 or 21.3%, over the second quarter of 2000 and totaled $6,725,000 for the six months of 2001, an increase of $1,077,000 or 19.1% over the prior year. The Bank experienced an increase in earning assets in the past six months of 12.4%, which came primarily through the Acquisition that occurred in 2000.

We have experienced an increasing interest margin percentage during the first six months of 2001, compared to the narrowing margin that we have experienced in the last few years. When the yield curve became inverted in 2000, interest rates began to rise resulting in our higher volume of short-term liabilities re-pricing faster than our short-term assets. Currently the yield curve is reverting back to a more normal slope beyond 6 months. Most of the Company's investments, loans, deposits and borrowings are priced or re-priced along the three month to five-year portion of the yield curve and a more normal yield curve should continue to improve our net interest margin. We continue to review various pricing and investment strategies to enhance deposit growth while maintaining or expanding the current interest margin.

The following table shows the effect of changes in volume and rate on interest income and expense. Tax-exempt interest revenue is shown on a tax-equivalent basis for proper comparison using a statutory federal income tax rate of 34%, for the six month period ended June 30 (dollars in thousands):

(1) The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to the volume and rate in

proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of each change.

As can be seen from the preceding tables, tax equivalent net interest income rose from $6,045,000, in 1999, to $6,404,000, in 2000, and increased to $7,500,000, in 2001. In the period ending June 30, 2001, net interest income increased $1,096,000, while overall spread increased from 3.31% to 3.59%. The increased volume of interest-earning assets generated an increase in interest income of $1,729,000 while increased volume of interest-bearing liabilities produced $1,180,000 of interest expense. The change in volume resulted in an increase of $549,000 in net interest income. The net change in rate was a positive $547,000, resulting in a total positive net change of $1,096,000, when combined with change in volume. The yield on interest-earning assets remained constant at 8.03% and the average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 29 basis points, from 4.73% to 4.44%, because of the previously described changes to the yield curve.

Provision For Loan Losses

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses in the second quarter of $120,000 compared to the second quarter of 2000 at $100,000 and $195,000 for the six months of 2001 compared to $200,000 in 2000.

This provision was appropriate given management's quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses that is based on the following information: migration analysis of delinquent and non-accrual loans, estimated future losses on loans, recent review of large problem credits, local and national economic conditions, historical loss experience, OCC qualitative adjustments and peer comparisons.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Other operating income, as detailed below, increased $607,000 or 98.9% and $819,000 or 65.4% in the second quarter and the first six months of 2001,respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2000. Service charge income continues to be the primary source of growth in other operating income. For the first six months, account service charges totaled $1,138,000 up $286,000 or 33.6% over last year. These increases in fee income were mainly the result of growth in the number of customers and related deposit accounts as a result of the acquisition.

The following table shows the breakdown of other operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000(dollars in thousands):

	Three months ended
	June 30,		Change
	2001	2000	Amount	%

The following table shows the breakdown of other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000(dollars in thousands):

	Six months ended

Realized securities gains, net	383	5	378	7,560.0
Total	$ 2,072	$ 1,253	$ 819	65.4

Trust income increased $23,000 and $63,000 in the second quarter and the first six months of 2001, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2000. The increase is due primarily to estate fees recognized in the current period.

Other operating income increased $88,000 and $92,000 in the second quarter and the first six months of 2001, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2000. The increase is largely attributable to gains recognized on foreclosed property sales and master card/VISA income.

In an effort to accelerate the improvement of our capital ratios and take advantage of current market conditions, we elected to sell and reinvest approximately $20,737,000 of investment securities in the first six months of 2001, which resulted in $383,000 of security gains.

We continue to evaluate means of increasing other operating income to offset the loss of net interest margin described above. Our approach is to apply service charges on business transaction accounts by charging fees on transaction activity (reduced by earnings credit based on customers' balances) to more equitably recover costs. We expect to continue this analysis for our other products.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

Total other operating expense, as detailed below, increased $1,058,000 or 44.9% during the second quarter of 2001 and $1,995,000 or 43.2% in the first six months of 2001 when compared to the same period in 2000. This increased level of other operating expense is attributable to the acquisition that occurred during 2000, which increased our number of locations by four (after the consolidation of two banking offices, in February 2001). The increase in salaries and employee benefits a result of the acquisition; increased staff for our new branch in Wal-Mart, which opened in August 2000, and the filling of some corporate positions related to the growth strategies that we have implemented. The increase in occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses is also a direct result of the recent acquisition, along with the completion of the two new facilities. The increase in other expense is primarily the result of increased amortization expense associated with the acquisition along with normal operating expense s associated with additional locations.

The following tables reflect the breakdown of other operating expense and professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000(dollars in thousands):

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes was $219,000 for the second quarter of 2001 compared to $205,000 in the second quarter of 2000. For the six-month period comparisons, the provision for income taxes was $357,000 in 2001 and $449,000 in 2000. The decrease was primarily a result of increased levels of tax-exempt income and recognition of tax credits as described below.

We have entered into two limited partnership agreements, to establish low-income housing projects in our market area. As a result of these agreements, we expect to receive approximately $1,290,000 of tax credits over a ten-year period when the projects are completed.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is a measure of our Company's ability to efficiently meet normal cash flow requirements of both borrowers and depositors. To maintain proper liquidity, we use funds management policies along with our investment policies to assure we can meet our financial obligations to depositors, credit customers and stockholders. Liquidity is needed to meet depositors' withdrawal demands, extend credit to meet borrowers' needs, provide funds for normal operating expenses and cash dividends, and to fund other capital expenditures.

Our Company's historical activity in this area can be seen in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows from investing and financing activities.

Cash generated by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities influences liquidity management. The most important source of funds is the deposits that are primarily core deposits (deposits from customers with other relationships). Short-term debt from the Federal Home Loan Bank supplements our Company's availability of funds.

Our Company's use of funds is shown in the investing activity section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, where the net loan activity is presented. Other significant uses of funds include capital expenditures. Surplus funds are then invested in investment securities.

Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2001 were $1.3 million, $.8 million more than the same period in 2000. The large increase is primarily the result of the building projects in process (described below):

Major capital expenditures for 2001 were:

• The majority of the $747,000 of capital expenditures recognized this year, is attributable to the final completion of the new Mansfield office and operations facilities,

Some major capital expenditures for 2000 were:

• $156,000 upgrade for our computer system,

We believe our Company has sufficient resources to complete these projects from our normal operations and that they will have a long-term positive effect on revenues, efficiency and the capacity for future growth.

Our Company achieves additional liquidity primarily from temporary or short-term investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, PA, and investments that mature in less than one year. The Company also has a maximum borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of approximately $129 million as an additional source of liquidity.

Apart from those matters described above, management does not currently believe that there are any current trends, events or uncertainties that would have a material impact on capital.

Interest does not accrue on non-accrual loans. Subsequent cash payments received are applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending upon management's assessment of its ultimate ability to collect principal and interest.

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to maintain an appropriate balance between the stable growth of income and the risks associated with maximizing income through interest sensitivity imbalances and the market value risk of assets and liabilities.

Because of the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk and, since our Company has no trading portfolio, it is not subject to trading risk.

Currently, our Company has equity securities that represent only 4% of our investment portfolio and, therefore, equity risk is not significant.

The primary components of interest-sensitive assets include adjustable-rate loans and investments, loan repayments, investment maturities and money market investments. The primary components of interest-sensitive liabilities include maturing certificates of deposit, IRA certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings. Savings deposits, NOW accounts and money market investor accounts are considered core deposits and are not short-term interest sensitive (except for the top-tier money market investor accounts which are paid current market interest rates).

Gap analysis, one of the methods used by us to analyze interest rate risk, does not necessarily show the precise impact of specific interest rate movements on our Company's net interest income because the re-pricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competitive and other pressures. In addition, assets and liabilities within the same period may, in fact, be repaid at different times and at different rate levels. We have not experienced the kind of earnings volatility that might be indicated from gap analysis.

Our Company currently uses a computer simulation model to better measure the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income. We use the model as part of our risk management process that will effectively identify, measure, and monitor our Company's risk exposure.

We use numerous interest rate simulations employing a variety of assumptions to evaluate our interest rate risk exposure. A shock analysis at June 30, 2001, indicated that a 200 basis point movement in interest rates in either direction would have a minor impact on our Company's anticipated net interest income over the next twenty-four months.

GENERAL

 The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of total assets and on non-interest expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation. The recent action by the Federal Reserve of increasing short-term interest rates will help ensure that the level of inflation remains at a relatively low level.

   Various congressional bills have been passed and other proposals have been made for significant changes to the banking system, including provisions for: limitation on deposit insurance coverage; changing the timing and method financial institutions use to pay for deposit insurance; and tightening the regulation of bank derivatives' activities.

   On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which is also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act. The act repeals some depression-era banking laws and will permit banks, insurance companies and securities firms to engage in each other's business after complying with certain conditions and regulations that are yet to be finalized. The act grants to community banks the power to enter new financial markets as a matter of right that larger institutions have managed to do on an ad hoc basis.

   Our Company does not believe that the Financial Services Modernization Act will have an immediate positive or negative material impact on our operations. However, the act may have the result of increasing the amount of competition that our Company faces from larger financial service companies, many of whom have substantially more financial resources than our Company, which may now offer banking services in addition to insurance and brokerage products.

   Aside from those matters described above, we do not believe that there are any trends, events or uncertainties, which would have a material adverse impact on future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. We are not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities (except as described herein) which, if they were to be implemented, would have such an effect, although the general cost of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and regulations does have, and in the future may have, a negative impact on our Company's results of operations.

Item 3- Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

In the normal course of conducting business activities, the Company is exposed to market risk, principally interest rate risk, through the operations of its banking subsidiary. Interest rate risk arises from market driven fluctuations in interest rates that affect cash flows, income, expense and values of financial instruments and was discussed previously in this Form 10-Q. Management and a committee of the board of directors manage interest rate risk.

No material changes in market risk strategy occurred during the current period. A detailed discussion of market risk is provided in the SEC Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2000.
