Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1-General The interim financial statements are unaudited. However, they reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations for the reported periods, and are of a normal and recurring nature. These statements should be read in conjunction with notes to the audited financial statements contained in the 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company, and its wholly owned nonbank subsidiary, SYC Realty Company, Inc. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. No shares of common stock are reserved for issuance in the event of conversions or the exercise of warrants, options or other rights, except for 134,009 shares for the Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan; 75,711 shares for the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan; 105,000 shares for the 1998 Independent Directors' Stock Option Plan; and those shares reserved for the Shareholders' Rights Plan. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Note 2-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Loans Held for Sale - Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value. The amount by which cost exceeds market value, if any, is accounted for as a valuation allowance and is charged to expense in the period of the change. Per Share Computations - All per share computations include the retroactive effect of stock dividends, including the 5 percent stock dividend paid June 11, 1999. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding used was approximately 2,403,175 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 and 2,407,827 for the same period in 1998. Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 consolidated financial statements to conform with the 1999 presentation. Comprehensive Income - As of January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Statement No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's net income or shareholders' equity. Statement No. 130 requires 4 	CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities, to be included in other comprehensive income. Total comprehensive income was $556,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to $810,000 for the same period of 1998. Year to date total comprehensive income was $1,136,000 for 1999, compared to $1,922,000 for 1998. Note 3-Current Accounting Developments In December 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Invitation to Comment Document entitled "Methods of Accounting for Business Combinations: Recommendations of the G4+1 for Achieving Convergence." Subsequently, in April 1999, the FASB tentatively agreed to eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations. In reaching its conclusion, the Board commented that the use of two methods, purchase and pooling-of-interests, makes it difficult for users to compare the financial statements of companies engaged in business combinations, and that the pooling method is inconsistent with the general concept of fair value associated with acquisitions. Accordingly, the Board concluded that there should be a single method of accounting for all business combinations, and that method is the purchase method. As a general rule, the purchase method establishes a new accounting basis for the assets and liabilities acquired based on fair value and recognizes goodwill (positive or negative). Goodwill, the difference between the purchase price and total value of the assets and liabilities obtained, is an intangible asset that must be amortized over future periods. Regarding transition, the Board tentatively concluded that all business combinations reported before final issuance of a new standard, as well as all combinations in process at the time the new standard is issued should be accounted for under APB 16 as a pooling, if the pooling criteria within that standard are met. The FASB is expected to issue a final standard in the fourth quarter of 2000. 5 	CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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 Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company (CVLY or Corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PEOPLESBANK, A Codorus Valley Company (PEOPLESBANK) are provided below. CVLY's consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of PEOPLESBANK'S financial condition and results of operations. Current performance does not guarantee and may not be indicative of similar performance in the future. Management has made forward-looking statements in this report, and in documents that are incorporated by reference, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of CVLY or PEOPLESBANK. Management is making forward-looking statements when it uses words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates" or other similar expressions. Many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents that are incorporated by reference, could affect the future financial results of CVLY or PEOPLESBANK and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this document. These factors include: operating, legal and regulatory risks; economic, political and competitive forces affecting banking, securities, asset management and credit services businesses; and the risk that management's analyses of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful. CVLY undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward- looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents that CVLY files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to three months ended September 30, 1998 INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS Overview Net income for the current three month period was $722,000, or $.30 per share compared to $605,000 or $.25 per share, for the same period in 1998. The increase in net income was caused by increases in noninterest income and net 7 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. interest income which more than offset an increase in noninterest expense. The increase in noninterest income was caused primarily by gains from the periodic sale of investment securities and income from an investment in bank owned life insurance. The current quarter included $182,000 in gains from the sale of investment securities compared to $72,000 for the third quarter of 1998. The increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase in interest income from a larger volume of earning assets, principally commercial loans. The increase in noninterest expense was attributable to increases in salaries and benefits, marketing and normal business growth. An explanation of the factors and trends that caused changes between the two periods, by earnings category, is provided below. Net interest income Net interest income for the current three month period was $2,703,000, an increase of $88,000 or 3.3 percent above the third quarter of 1998. The increase in net interest income was attributable to a larger volume of interest earning assets which more than offset lower yields. Total earning assets averaged $256 million with a weighted average tax equivalent yield of 7.84 percent for the third quarter of 1999 compared to $236 million and 8.17 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 1998. Growth in the average volume of interest earning assets occurred primarily in the commercial loan portfolio during the first and second quarters of the current year. During the third quarter of 1999, PEOPLESBANK and CVLY invested a total of $7.4 million in long term trust preferred securities issued by commercial bank holding companies with yields ranging from 7.75 percent to 9.60 percent. More information about trust preferred investments is provided under the heading Investment Securities located in the Balance Sheet Review section of this report. Total deposits averaged $245 million with a weighted average rate of 3.66 percent for the third quarter of 1999 compared to $229 million and 3.98 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 1998. Relatively low cost demand and interest bearing demand core deposits increased from last year while CDs remained stable. Total long term borrowings averaged $7.4 million with a weighted average rate of 6.43 percent for the third quarter of 1999 compared to $2.7 million and 6.83 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 1998. More information about long term borrowings is provided under the heading Short- Term and Long-Term Borrowings located in the Balance Sheet Review section of this report. Provision for loan losses A $50,000 provision expense for possible loan losses was recorded for the current period to support growth in the commercial loan portfolio. 8 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. Comparatively, a $75,000 provision was recorded for the third quarter of 1998. Noninterest income Total noninterest income for the current three month period was $657,000, an increase of $267,000 or 68 percent above the same period in 1998. The overall increase was due primarily to a $112,000 increase in other income and a $110,000 increase in gains from the periodic sale of investment securities. Most of the increase in other income was caused by the recognition of $66,000 in income from an investment in bank owned life insurance (boli). There was no comparable income from boli in the third quarter of 1998. During the current period, CVLY recognized a $109,000 gain from the sale of a common stock investment, and PEOPLESBANK recognized a $74,000 gain from the sale of a fixed income security. Noninterest expense Total noninterest expense for the current three month period was $2,295,000 an increase of $197,000 or 9.4 percent above the third quarter of 1998. The increase in noninterest expense was largely attributable to increases in salaries and benefits, marketing expense and normal business growth as described in the year-to-date section of this report. Capital investment in technology To improve staff productivity through technology, PEOPLESBANK implemented a local area network (LAN) during the third quarter of 1999. A LAN infrastructure enables selected employees to access e-mail, the Internet, and the latest desk-top application systems. It also permits centralized file sharing, storage and backup. The initial capital investment, exclusive of user training expense, was approximately $80,000 and is being depreciated over a three year expected useful life. Income taxes The provision for federal income taxes was $293,000 for the current three month period, compared to $227,000 for the same period in 1998. The tax increase corresponds to an increase in income before income taxes. 9 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. Nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to nine months ended September 30, 1998 INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS Overview Net income for the current nine month period was $1,922,000 or $.80 per share, compared to $1,882,000 or $0.78 per share, for the same period in 1998. All per share amounts were adjusted for stock dividends. The increase in current period net income was caused by a $365,000 increase in noninterest income, a $175,000 decrease in the loan loss provision and a $142,000 decrease in the federal income tax provision. The favorable effect of these three income statement categories more than offset a $614,000 increase in noninterest operating expenses. For the nine month period (annualized) of 1999, the return on average assets was approximately 0.93 percent compared to .98 percent for 1998. For the same periods, the return on average equity was approximately 9.8 percent for 1999 compared to 9.9 percent for 1998. On September 30, 1999, total assets were approximately $284 million, an increase of $11 million or 4 percent above December 31, 1998. Balance sheet growth was driven by an increase in commercial loans which were funded by borrowings and deposit growth. Book value per share, as adjusted, was $10.86 on September 30, 1999, compared to $10.82 on December 31, 1998. As of September 30, 1999, management believes that CVLY's capital meets all capital requirements to which it is subject. PEOPLESBANK'S capital ratios exceed the quantitative federal regulatory minimums for well capitalized commercial banks. An explanation of the factors and trends that caused changes between the two periods, by earnings category, is provided below. Net interest income Net interest income for the current nine month period was $8,053,000, a decrease of $28,000 or 0.3 percent less than the same period in 1998. A significant factor which contributed to the decline in net interest income was a $5 million investment in bank owned life insurance (boli) in September 1998. This tax exempt investment caused income to shift from an interest income category to a noninterest income category on the income statement. Additionally, competitive price pressures and a relatively flat yield curve served to constrain net interest income in the current period. Total interest earning assets averaged $250 million with a weighted average tax equivalent yield of 7.88 percent for the first nine months of 1999 compared to $236 million and 8.33 percent, respectively, for the first nine 10 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. months of 1998. Growth in the average volume of interest earning assets occurred primarily in the commercial loan and investment securities portfolios. During the third quarter of 1999, CVLY and PEOPLESBANK began to execute a planned $10 million leverage growth strategy which involves investment in long term trust preferred securities funded by borrowings from third parties. The purpose of the leverage strategy is to generate additional net interest income to help offset financial opportunity costs associated with the long term investment in the Codorus Valley Corporate Center facility. More information about this strategy can be found under the headings Investment Securities and Short-term and Long-Term Borrowings within the Balance Sheet Review section of this report. Total deposits averaged $242 million with a weighted average rate of 3.68 percent for the first nine months of 1999 compared to $227 million and 4.01 percent, respectively, for the same period of 1998. The average balances of demand and interest bearing demand deposits increased 21 percent above 1998, while savings deposits increased 1 percent and CD deposits were stable. Due to the growth in relatively low cost core deposits and the need to manage net interest income compression, PEOPLESBANK has not priced CDs aggressively. Commercial equipment leasing In May 1999, PEOPLESBANK entered into a third party commercial leasing arrangement in order to provide the Bank with an additional source of income, and expand its menu of commercial services. Under the arrangement, PEOPLESBANK will fund leases that meet its credit risk standards with assignment of the lease and a security interest in the leased equipment as collateral. Third party responsibilities include entering into the lease agreement with the lessee, equipment purchase and disposition, marketing and administrative support, and providing PEOPLESBANK with commercial leasing expertise. Start-up costs were approximately $10,000 and ongoing expenses associated with the commercial leasing arrangement are expected to be insignificant. Provision for loan losses A $200,000 provision expense for possible loan losses was recorded for the current period to support growth in the commercial loan portfolio. Comparatively, a $375,000 provision was recorded for the same period of 1998 to support a higher level of net loan charge-offs. Noninterest income Total noninterest income for the current nine month period was $1,645,000, an increase of $365,000 or 29 percent above the same period in 1998. The overall 11 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. increase was due primarily to a 162 percent increase in the other income category which reflects increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance, ATM fees and rental income. Service charge fees on deposit accounts also increased 18 percent above the first nine months of 1998 due to a larger deposit base. During the current period, PEOPLESBANK recorded $243,000 in capital gains from the periodic sale of assets compared to $302,000 for the same period in 1998. For 1999, noninterest income is expected to exceed the 1998 level, with the possible exception of capital gains from asset sales. Boli investment income and rental income from leasing space in CVLY and PEOPLESBANK facilities is projected to make a larger contribution to noninterest income. Fee income from the PEOPLESBANK subsidiary, SYC Settlement Services, Inc., described in the section that follows, and fees from commercial equipment leasing are also expected to contribute to growth in noninterest income. Sales of insurance and related investment products In January 1999, PEOPLESBANK subsidiary, SYC Settlement Services, Inc. began operations. This subsidiary was created, and operates at minimal cost. SYC Settlement Services generates fee income for PEOPLESBANK by providing real estate title insurance and settlement services. PEOPLESBANK is currently evaluating its options regarding the sale of other insurance and related investment products. Noninterest expense Total noninterest expense for the current nine month period was $6,814,000, an increase of $614,000 or 10 percent above the same period in 1998. The increase in noninterest expense primarily reflects increases in salaries and benefits, professional and legal, marketing and advertising, and acquired real estate expenses. Salaries and benefits expense increased $395,000 or 13 percent above 1998 due primarily to staff additions, merit raises, higher replacement and recruiting expenses, and increases in the cost of health and retirement benefit plans. Additionally, the prior period included a one-time $58,000 expense reduction associated with termination of PEOPLESBANK's defined benefits retirement plan. Professional and legal expense increased $26,000 or approximately 14 percent due primarily to consulting fees associated with a third party investment management arrangement for selected accounts within the trust and investment services division, and technology planning. Marketing and advertising expense increased $93,000 or approximately 48 percent due to a larger marketing budget. Acquired real estate expense increased $79,000 or 168 percent due to greater carrying costs and deterioration in the market value of selected properties. Noninterest expense is expected to increase in the period ahead due to planned strategic initiatives, including capital investment in technology, Y2K compliance and normal business growth. 12 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. Capital investment in technology In accordance with CVLY's strategic technology plan, PEOPLESBANK has focused on three key technology projects for 1999. Two of these projects are complete and one is currently in process. A brief project description is provided below. During the third quarter of 1999 a local area network (LAN) was implemented. More information about the LAN is provided under the heading Capital Investment in the current quarter section of this report. In late April 1999, PEOPLESBANK completed the installation of an item processing system with check imaging capability. This mission critical system replaced an aged, fully depreciated, item processing system that was not Y2K compliant. The new system, which is more efficient and has more processing capacity, cost approximately $660,000 ($300,000 for item processing and $360,000 for check imaging) and was funded internally. Annual depreciation expense on the new system will approximate $110,000 based on an expected useful life of five to seven years. Following installation and testing, the system was introduced to PEOPLESBANK clients effective July 1, 1999. To improve client convenience through technology, PEOPLESBANK is implementing an Internet banking system with online bill payment and other useful features. The capital investment, exclusive of marketing and maintenance expenses, is expected to approximate $60,000 and will be depreciated over a three year expected useful life. Internet banking should be available to PEOPLESBANK clients in the fourth quarter of 1999. Sales and product training In January 1998, PEOPLESBANK contracted with a national sales training and consulting firm to implement a sales and product training program. The program is focused on the retail banking staff and has two primary objectives: first, to expedite the transformation of PEOPLESBANK to a customer-focused corporate culture, based upon superior sales and service; second, to increase sales through improved selling skills, increased product knowledge and confidence, and sales incentives. Formal training of the retail banking staff began in May 1998. This comprehensive retail training program is expected to take approximately 30 months to complete at an estimated cost of $175,000. Through September 30, 1999, PEOPLESBANK expended approximately $127,000 toward this program ($32,000 in 1999 and $95,000 for the full year 1998). Year 2000 compliance The following section contains forward-looking statements which involve risks 13 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. and uncertainties. The actual impact of the Year 2000 issue (Y2K) on CVLY could materially differ from that which is anticipated in the forward- looking statements as a result of certain factors identified below. The Year 2000 issue poses significant risks for all businesses, households and governments. The risk is that on January 1, 2000, date sensitive systems using two digits to represent the year may not be able to distinguish between the Year 2000 and the Year 1900. The date problem could result in system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions in normal business and governmental operations. The problem has broad implications far beyond familiar computer systems and could adversely impact security systems, telephone systems, climate control systems, elevators, automobiles and other date sensitive systems. Unfortunately, there is no universal solution for this problem, and resolution of the Year 2000 issue may be both labor intensive and costly for some companies. PEOPLESBANK is subject to the regulation and oversight of various banking regulators, whose oversight includes the provision of specific timetables, programs and guidance regarding Y2K issues. Regulatory examination of PEOPLESBANK'S Y2K programs are conducted periodically, and reports from management are submitted quarterly to CVLY's Board of Directors. Corporation's State of Year 2000 Readiness Resolving the Year 2000 issue is one of CVLY's highest priorities. In 1997, a project team was formed to address the Y2K issue. Based on an internal assessment of CVLY's systems and software, the project team determined that some existing systems and software must be remediated or replaced prior to the millennium. Management presently believes that as a result of modifications to existing software and hardware and conversions to new software, the Y2K issue can be mitigated. CVLY has initiated communications with its major vendors to determine the extent to which these third parties will be Y2K compliant. To date, responses have been positive; however, there is no guarantee that the systems and software of other companies on which CVLY relies will be Y2K compliant. As a precaution CVLY has developed a business resumption contingency plan, as needed, for mission critical systems. Further, PEOPLESBANK has communicated with its large commercial borrowers. These borrowers may pose a credit risk to PEOPLESBANK if they are not Y2K compliant, and their businesses are disrupted. Responses from large commercial borrowers have been evaluated, and PEOPLESBANK will take appropriate action based upon their level of readiness for Year 2000. PEOPLESBANK has also incorporated a Y2K readiness review in its underwriting process for business loans. 14 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. Costs of Year 2000 Readiness As of September 30, 1999, management's best estimate of the total cost of Y2K readiness is $83,000. No attempt was made to measure staff costs associated with this project. Management believes that if staff costs were quantified they would be substantial. Of the $83,000 estimate, $50,000 is expected to incurred in 1999, and $33,000 was incurred in 1998. Y2K expenditures were incurred principally for external technicians for system test plans and testing. Lost income associated with maintaining a larger cash inventory during November and December 1999 is an anticipated cost included in the estimate. In addition, PEOPLESBANK replaced an aged item- processing system in April 1999 which was not Y2K compliant. On a comparable cost basis, this system cost approximately $300,000 (exclusive of the cost of a check imaging capability unique to the new system) which produces an annual after-tax depreciation expense of $28,000 based on a seven-year expected useful life. Implementation of this mission critical system was accelerated from its original fourth quarter 1999 target date. The cost of the Y2K project is based on management's best estimates, which assume the continued availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However, there is no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially. Risks of Year 2000 At present, management believes its progress in remedying CVLY's systems, programs and applications and installing Y2K compliant upgrades is on target. The Y2K problem creates risk for CVLY from unforeseen problems in its own computer systems and from third party vendors who provide the majority of mainframe and pc-based computer applications. Failure of third party systems relative to the Y2K issue could have a material impact on CVLY's ability to conduct business. CVLY is also exposed to credit risk if large commercial borrowers are not Y2K compliant and their businesses are disrupted. Contingency Plans for Year 2000 Mission critical systems have been remediated and tested for Year 2000 compliance. Mission critical systems were successfully tested and operated correctly within the test environment. CVLY will continue to monitor and test mission critical systems and has developed a business resumption contingency plan. In accordance with regulatory mandate, CVLY was substantially Year 2000 compliant by year end 1998. However, uncertainties remain about whether or not CVLY's third party vendors and large commercial borrowers will be Year 2000 compliant. Accordingly, the financial impact of the Year 2000 issue on CVLY's assets, earnings and liquidity cannot be determined at this time. 15 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. Income taxes The provision for federal income taxes was $762,000 for the current nine month period, compared to $904,000 for the same period in 1998. The decrease in the tax provision for 1999 was the result of a lower level of income before income taxes and a higher level of tax-exempt income. BALANCE SHEET REVIEW Investment securities At September 30, 1999, the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio was $46.3 million compared to $56.2 million at December 31, 1998. The decline was caused primarily by securities sales which totalled approximately $7 million during the first nine months of operations. Securities sales for PEOPLESBANK and CVLY generated pretax capital gains totalling $225,000 for 1999. Sale proceeds were reinvested in the commercial loan portfolio. Pursuant to a planned leverage growth strategy involving PEOPLESBANK and CVLY, PEOPLESBANK invested $5,072,000 in trust preferred stock (trust preferreds) issued by money center bank holding companies during July 1999. These instruments, rated investment grade, are substantially junior subordinated debt, pay interest semi-annually, are callable, mature in the years 2026-2027, and yield approximately 7.8 percent. Also during the third quarter, CVLY invested $2,332,000 in nonrated and below investment grade trust preferred securities issued by financially sound community bank holding companies which yield approximately 9 percent. Trust preferred securities are classified as held-to-maturity on the balance sheet. Loans At September 30, 1999, total loans were $205 million representing a $16 million or 8.4 percent increase from year end 1998. The increase was due primarily to growth in the fixed rate commercial loan category during the first and second quarters of 1999. To date, commercial loan growth has more than compensated for the portfolio runoff that occurred during 1998. Runoff in the prior year was attributable to competitive price pressures and approximately $8.5 million in early loan payoffs associated with PEOPLESBANK clients selling businesses and assets. In spite of competitive pressures, PEOPLESBANK is committed to maintaining high credit underwriting standards. Deposits At September 30, 1999, total deposits were $243 million representing a $1 million or 0.4 percent increase from year end 1998. Competitive pressures, 16 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. particularly the domestic stock and mutual fund markets, have constrained deposit growth for PEOPLESBANK, specifically, and the commercial banking industry in general. Short-Term and Long-Term Borrowings In order to meet short-term funding needs PEOPLESBANK can borrow from larger correspondent banks in the form of funds purchased. PEOPLESBANK also utilizes available credit through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLBP). The rate is established daily based on prevailing market conditions for overnight funds. PEOPLESBANK'S maximum borrowing capacity, as established quarterly by the FHLBP, was approximately $64 million, at June 30, 1999, the most recent available date. At September 30, 1999, long term borrowings were $10.4 million, an increase of $7.8 million above year end 1998. During September 1999, CVLY borrowed $2 million from a local financial institution. Under the loan arrangement the rate is fixed at 7.35 percent for 10 years based on a 20 year principal amortization, with no prepayment penalty. Loan proceeds were used to partially fund an investment in trust preferred securities. In July 1999, PEOPLESBANK borrowed $5 million for 15 years from the FHLBP to help fund its operations. Under the loan arrangement with the FHLBP, the rate is fixed at 6.43 percent for 10 years. During the remaining 5 years, the FHLBP has the option to convert the rate to a floating rate based on the 3 month Libor index plus 16 basis points. If the FHLB elects its conversion option, PEOPLESBANK can repay the loan without a prepayment penalty. Stockholders' Equity Stockholders' equity, or capital, is a source of funds which enables CVLY to maintain asset growth and to absorb losses. Total stockholders' equity was $26 million at September 30, 1999, approximately the same as December 31, 1998. The flatness in equity was primarily attributable to unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale investment securities caused by rising market interest rates, and stock repurchases which partially offset the positive impact from earnings. Book value per share, as adjusted, was $10.86 on September 30, 1999, compared to $10.82 on December 31, 1998. The level of capital for CVLY and PEOPLESBANK remained sound for both periods. PEOPLESBANK exceeded all minimum regulatory requirements for well capitalized commercial banks as established by the FDIC, its primary federal regulator. The FDIC's minimum quantitative standards for a well capitalized institution are as follows: Tier I risk-based capital, 6 percent; Total risk-based capital, 10 percent; and Leverage ratio, 5 percent. At the state level, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking uses a Leverage ratio guideline of 6 percent. CVLY's and PEOPLESBANK'S capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators. The table below depicts 17 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. capital ratios for CVLY and PEOPLESBANK on September 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998. Ratios CVLY CONSOLIDATED PEOPLESBANK 9/30/99 12/31/98 9/30/99 12/31/98 Tier I risk-based capital 11.5 12.4 9.5 10.1 Total risk-based capital 12.4 13.3 10.5 11.1 Leverage 9.3 9.6 7.6 7.8 Capital investments made in earlier periods, as described in previous SEC filings, and future investments will impact current and future earnings and capital growth. Possible future investments could include: expansion of the community office franchise, technology, and acquisition of financial services companies. Management and the Board of Directors believe that capital investments, guided by a long range strategic plan, are necessary to develop an infrastructure to grow market share and net income over the long- term, and are important components of the overall strategy of enhancing long-term shareholder value. On October 12, 1999, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.11 cents per share, payable November 9, 1999, to shareholders of record October 26, 1999. This follows a $.11 cents per share cash dividend paid in August 1999 and a $.105 cents per share cash dividend paid in May 1999 and in February 1999. In June 1999, a 5 percent stock dividend was paid which resulted in the issuance of 103,840 shares of common stock. In February 1999, CVLY publicly announced that its Board authorized the purchase, in open market and privately negotiated transactions, of up to 112,500 shares or 4.9 percent of CVLY's outstanding common stock. Purchases are authorized periodically when market conditions warrant, and are expected to be funded from operations using available retained capital. As of September 30, 1999, CVLY purchased 22,737 shares of its common stock for approximately $417,000. Of this total, 10,878 shares were reissued to partially satisfy the 5 percent stock dividend paid in June 1999. The remaining 11,859 shares were held in treasury as of September 30, 1999. For the period October 1, 1999, through the filing date of this report, CVLY acquired 52,685 shares of its common stock for approximately $935,000. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for stock dividends, was approximately 2,403,175 shares for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, and 2,407,827 shares for the same period in 1998. RISK MANAGEMENT Nonperforming assets A summary of nonperforming assets and past due loans, and related ratios, is provided in Table 1 included in this report. An explanation of changes within 18 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. each classification for September 30, 1999, compared to December 31, 1998, is provided below. A major component of nonperforming assets is impaired loans. For all reporting periods, impaired loans were principally comprised of collateral dependent commercial loans and residential mortgage loans classified as nonaccrual. Accordingly, CVLY uses the cash basis method to recognize interest income on loans that are impaired. On September 30, 1999, the impaired loan portfolio was $2,412,000, reflecting a $706,000 or 41 percent increase since year end 1998. The increase was caused by the addition of one commercial account, adequately collaterized by real estate assets, which totalled $759,000. As of the filing date of this report, PEOPLESBANK collected $271,000 on this account from a partial sale of collateral. At September 30, 1999, the impaired loan portfolio was comprised of twenty-two unrelated accounts, primarily commercial loan relationships, ranging in size from $1,000 to $759,000. These loan relationships vary by industry and are generally collateralized with real estate assets. A loss allowance, which is evaluated at least quarterly, has been established for accounts that appear to be under-collateralized. Efforts to modify contractual terms for individual accounts, based on prevailing market conditions, or liquidate collateral assets, are proceeding as quickly as potential buyers can be located and legal constraints permit. Assets acquired in foreclosure, net of allowance, totalled $1,643,000 on September 30, 1999, reflecting a decrease of $228,000 or 12 percent below year end 1998. The decrease was caused by the liquidation of several real estate assets. On September 30, 1999, the assets acquired portfolio was comprised of real estate assets from six former commercial loan relationships. The largest property has a carrying value of $1,003,000 which makes up 61 percent of the assets acquired portfolio. Management believes that the net realizable value of this property is sufficiently greater than its carrying value based on a recent external appraisal. A loss allowance, which is evaluated at least quarterly, has been established for assets whose estimated market value, less selling expenses, are below their financial carrying costs. At September 30, 1999, the allowance for assets acquired was $69,000. For the first nine months of 1999, a $39,000 loss provision was recorded to reflect a decline in fair value. Comparatively, a $22,000 loss provision was deemed necessary for the same period in 1998. Efforts to liquidate assets acquired are proceeding as quickly as potential buyers can be located and legal constraints permit. At September 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998, the level of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest was deemed insignificant. Generally, loans in the past due category are well collateralized and in the process of collection. At September 30, 1999, there were no potential problem loans, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, identified by management. However, management was monitoring loans of approximately $8.6 million for which the 19 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. ability of the borrower to comply with present repayment terms was uncertain. These loans were not included in the Table 1 disclosure. They are monitored closely, and management presently believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover anticipated losses that may be attributable to these loans. Comparatively, management was monitoring loans of approximately $7.5 million on December 31, 1998. Allowance for loan losses Table 2, Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses depicts a $2,037,000 allowance at September 30, 1999, which was 1 percent of total loans. The current period allowance increased above 1998 primarily to support a larger portfolio of commercial loans. The provision expense for the current nine month period was $200,000, compared to $375,000 for the same period in 1998. The loss provision was greater in 1998 due to a larger level of loan charge- offs. In June of 1998 management charged off $456,000 attributable to a single commercial borrower whose account was deemed partially uncollectible. Based on a recent evaluation of potential loan losses, management believes that the allowance is adequate to support any reasonably foreseeable level of losses that may arise. Ultimately, however, the adequacy of the allowance is largely dependent upon future economic factors beyond CVLY's control. Liquidity Liquidity is deemed adequate and the principal funding sources include: deposit growth, maturing investment securities, the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, and asset sales. The loan-to-deposit ratio was approximately 84 percent on September 30, 1999, compared to 78 percent on December 31, 1998. The ratio for both periods was within current policy guidelines. Market risk management In the normal course of conducting business, CVLY 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 which may affect cash flows, income, expense and values of financial instruments. Interest rate risk is managed by an Asset-Liability Management Committee comprised of members of senior management and an outside director. 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 period ended December 31, 1998. 20 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP,INC. Other risks Periodically, various types of federal and state legislation are proposed that could result in additional regulation of, or restrictions on, the business of CVLY and its subsidiaries. Other than as discussed below, it cannot be predicted whether such legislation will be adopted or, if adopted, how such legislation would affect the business of CVLY and its subsidiaries. Further, the business of CVLY is also affected by the state of the financial services industry in general. As a result of legal and industry changes, management predicts that the industry will continue to experience an increase in consolidations and mergers as the financial services industry strives to increase profits and market share. Management also expects increased diversification of financial products and services offered by the Corporation or subsidiary thereof, and its competitors. Management believes that such consolidations and mergers, and diversification of products and services may enhance its competitive position as a community bank. During the fourth quarter of 1999, management anticipates enactment of the Financial Institutions Modernization Act. This law will dramatically change the financial services industry by eliminating the barriers between commercial banking, insurance and securities industries. These barriers have existed since the enactment of the Glass-Steagall Act during the height of the Great Depression. Management is analyzing the effect of the aforementioned law on the liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations of CVLY. The law may have a substantial long term impact by changing the business environment in which CVLY operates. Management is not aware of any other current specific recommendations by regulatory authorities or proposed legislation which, if they were implemented, would have a material adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital resources, or results of operations, 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 CVLY's results of operations. 21 	CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC.
