CITIZENS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Citizens National Bank (the "Bank"), (collectively, the "Company"). 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, 1999, 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, 1998.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, (SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. The Company implemented this statement effective October 1, 1998 and has reclassified all of its securities as available-for-sale. The impact of the reclassification resulted in a significant change in net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities during the 4th quarter of 1998.
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 2,773,434 for 1999 and 1998.
Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 Service, 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. Our discussion should be read in conjunction with the preceding June 30, 1999 Financial Report. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Forward-looking statements may prove inaccurate. We have made forward-looking statements in this document, and in documents that we incorporate by reference, that are subject to 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 such words as "believes", "expects", "anticipates", or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.
You should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents we incorporate by reference, could affect the future financial results. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
*operating, legal and regulatory
risks;
Page 5
<PAGE>
*economic, political and competitive
forces affecting our banking,
securities, asset management
and credit services;
*risk that our analysis of these
risks and forces could be incorrect
and/or the strategies developed
to address them could be unsuccessful.
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 quarterly reports on Form 10-K to be filed by our Company and any current reports on Form 8-K filed by our Company.
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. We maintain our central office in Mansfield, Pennsylvania. Presently we operate banking facilities in Mansfield, Blossburg, Ulysses, Genesee, Wellsboro, Troy, Sayre, Canton, Gillett and the Wellsboro Weis Market store. Additionally, we have automatic teller machines (ATMs) located in Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital in Wellsboro, Mansfield Wal-Mart and at Mansfield University. Our Company's lending and deposit products and investment services are offered primarily within the vicinity of the service area.
Our Company faces strong competition in the communities it serves from other commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations, some of which are substantially larger institutions than our subsidiary. In addition, personal and corporate trust services are offered by insurance companies, investment counseling firms, and other business firms and individuals. 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.
Our Company offers the following trust and investment services:
*Investment management accounts
that assume managerial duties for
investment accounts.
*Custody services for safekeeping
and preservation of assets.
*Mutual funds that provide an
asset allocation program.
*Personal trust services that
include stand-by, living and testamentary
trusts.
*Estate planning and administration
to provide financial planning.
*Retirement plan services for
individuals and businesses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
INVESTMENTS
The investment portfolio (available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities) decreased by $5 million or 5.3% from December 31, 1998, virtually the same as a decrease of $5 million from June 30, 1998. Proceeds from maturing investments were applied to borrowings and new loans.
From 1990 through 1996, the concentration
of our Company's investment portfolio shifted to U.S. Treasury securities
and, until two years ago, no new investments had been made in state and
political subdivisions. During 1997, 1998 and 1999, we have been selling
U. S. Treasury notes to restructure the investment portfolio. We then invested
the proceeds by purchasing AAA municipal bonds, investment grade corporate
bonds and U S agency mortgage backed securities.

LOANS
Historically, loans have been originated by our Company to customers in North Central Pennsylvania and the Southern Tier of New York. Loans have been originated primarily through direct loans to our existing customer base, with new customers generated by referrals from real estate brokers, building contractors, attorneys, accountants and existing customers. We also do a limited amount of indirect loans through new and used car dealers in the primary lending area.
As shown in the following tables, the change in loans grew by $19 million compared to the 1998 period, the result of continued demand and attractive interest rates. In addition,
$2.1 million in conforming mortgage
loans were originated and sold on the secondary market through the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, providing over $15,000 of income in origination
fees and premiums on loans sold. 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.

Commercial lending activity is primarily focused on small businesses and our Company's commercial lending officers have been successful in attracting new business loans.
We expect loans to state and political subdivisions will continue to increase in 1999.
Deposits changed by $19.5 million
or 7.4% during the June 30, 1999/1998 period. Deposit growth increased
primarily because of competitive pricing of our money market deposit accounts
and certificates of deposit.

Borrowed funds decreased $1.9
million during the first six months of 1999 compared with almost no change
during the 1998 period. The decrease in 1999 resulted from repayments of
short-term borrowing to the Federal Home Loan Bank, a result of strong
deposit growth. The Company's daily cash requirements or short-term investments
are met by using the financial instruments available through the Federal
Home Loan Bank.

The decrease in market value of our investment securities resulting in an unrealized loss of $861,000 this period compared to unrealized income of $978,000 December 31, 1998.
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. The purchases are to be funded by using available excess capital.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the six month period ending June 30, 1999 was $1,842,000, an increase of $80,000 or 4.5% over the $1,762,000 for the 1998 related period. Earnings per share was $.66 during the first six months of 1999 compared with $.64 during the comparable 1998 period.
Net income for the three month period was $953,000, an increase of $38,000 or 4.2% over the $915,000 for the 1998 related period.
Net interest income, the most
significant component of earnings, is the amount by which interest generated
from earning assets exceeds interest expense on liabilities. Net interest
income for the current six month period, after provision for loan losses,
was $5,524,000, an increase of $143,000 or 2.7% compared with an increase
of $29,000 or .5% during the same period in 1998.

As described in the table above, the yield on earning assets, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 7.99% and 8.28% during the first six months of 1999 and 1998, respectively (a decline of 29 basis points). The cost of funds was 4.48% and 4.78% during the same six month period (a decrease of 30 basis points).
Previously we have experienced the narrowing of our interest margin percentage. The trend has stopped and become stable during the six months of 1999. Our longer term interest-bearing liabilities are repricing as fast or faster than our interest-earning assets. The current yield curve has become steeper during 1999 increasing our future opportunity to increase margin with new business and as the existing investments and loans mature or repay. We continue to review various pricing and investment strategies to enhance deposit growth while maintaining or expanding the current interest margin.

The above table details the change in net interest income and shows an increase of $681,000 resulting from volume changes in investments and loans. The volume of interest expense increased the cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings by $269,000. The positive gain from volume of $412,000 when combined with decrease of income due to rate of $96,000 resulted in a net increase of $316,000 compared to a net increase of $123,000 for the same period in 1998.
The provision for loan losses was $60,000 and $120,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $52,500 and $105,000 for the same periods in 1998.
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, purchase of loans through acquisitions and peer comparisons.

Other income was $734,000 and $1,380.000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $558,000 and $1,070,119 for the same periods in 1998.
Service charges were $367,000 and $656,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $270,000 and $482,000 for the same periods in 1998. The increase in service charges is directly attributable to increased checking account, ATM and MasterMoney Card charges.
Trust income was $105,000 and $204,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $74,000 and $166,000 for the same periods in 1998. This increase is the result of a change in our fee structure and additional business.
Other income was $131,000 and $264,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $93,000 and $138,000 for the same periods in 1998. This increase was a result of increases in mortgage servicing fees and insurance income.
Gains on sales of investment securities available-for-sale were $132,000 and $227,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $78,000 and $172,000 for the same periods in 1998. This increase is primarily the result of continuation of the restructuring of the investment portfolio by selling U. S Treasury Notes and using the proceeds to purchase other securities.
We continue to evaluate means of increasing other operating income to off-set the loss of net interest income described above. Our approach, recently, is to apply service charges on business 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 were $2.2 million and $4.5 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $2 million and $4 million for the same periods in 1998.
Salaries and employee benefits
were $1,065,000 and $2,076,000 for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1999 compared to $946,000 and $1,873,000 for the same periods
in 1998. This increase was a result of normal merit increases.

Professional fees were $133,000 and $316,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $89,000 and $156,000 for the same periods in 1998. This increase reflects management's efforts to implement strategic growth initiatives and process improvements.
Other operating expenses were $727,000 and $1,459,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $633,000 and $1,337,000 for the same periods in 1998. The increase reflects the cost of loan promotions and other normal operating expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $308,000 and $604,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 compared to $361,000 and $703,000 for the same periods in 1998. The decrease was primarily a result of increased levels of tax exempt income.
LIQUIDITY
As detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, a slightly negative net cash was provided from operating, investing and financing activities during the 1999 period. The major components have been discussed previously in the financial condition section relating to investments, loans and deposits.
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 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 increase in loans is detailed. Another significant uses of funds are capital expenditures. Surplus funds are then invested in investment securities.
Capital expenditures were $675,000 in 1999, $414,000 more than 1998, primarily the result of the acquisition of property that is now our operations center described below.
These purchases will allow greater operating efficiency and provide our customers with a higher quality product.
On February 8, 1999, we acquired a property near the Mansfield Wal-Mart consisting of a large office building on 2 acres, to be used as an administration and/or operations facility. We expect the costs of acquisition and remodeling to be approximately $1.4 million
In addition, our Company has
contracted with Wal-Mart to include a First Citizens branch in their new
Supercenter scheduled to be opened May 2000.
Page 14
<PAGE>
Our Company continues to plan for an approximate $2 million renovation or replacement of the Mansfield community office. This effort has been in various stages of planning for more than nine years. We expect construction to take place in late 1999 or early 2000.
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.
Liquidity is achieved primarily from temporary or short-term investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, PA ("FHLB"), and investments that mature less than one year. The Company also has a maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB of approximately $89 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.

The Company does not accrue interest income on impaired 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 (individuals over 59 1/2 have the option of changing their interest rate annually) 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 repricing 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 uses the model as part of our risk management process that will effectively identify, measure, and monitor our Company's risk exposure.
Numerous interest rate simulations using a variety of assumptions are used by us to evaluate our interest rate risk exposure. A shock analysis at June 30, 1999, indicated that a 200 basis point movement in interest rates in either direction would not have a significant adverse impact on our Company's anticipated net interest income over the next twenty-four months.
YEAR 2000 COMPUTER PROBLEM
- Bank's State of Readiness
Page 16
<PAGE>
We have assessed the extent of vulnerability of our Company's computer systems to the problem. Our Company's conversion, in August 1997, to Jack Henry and Associates (JHA) for core banking application software and the purchase of a new IBM AS/400 hardware system on which to run the core processing software, has greatly minimized our exposure to these problems. The JHA Silverlake System software was certified by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) on March 16, 1998 while the IBM AS\400 received the first ever Year 2000 certification by that organization. Most internal testing and validation for these primary mission critical systems was successfully completed in November 1998. The testing process of other critical systems was completed in June 1999.

- Cost of Year 2000
- Contingency Plans
- Customer Awareness
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 noninterest expenses,
which tend to rise during periods of general inflation. The level of inflation
over the last few years has been declining.

<PAGE>
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; expanding the power of banks by removing restrictions on bank underwriting activities; tightening the regulation of bank derivatives' activities; allowing commercial enterprises to own banks; and permitting bank holding companies or our Company to own or control affiliates that engage in securities, mutual funds and insurance activities.
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 disussed previously in this Form 10-Q. Interest rate risk is managed by management and a committee of the board of directors.
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, 1998.
