However, they reflect all adjustments that 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 the notes to the audited financial statements contained in the 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (PeoplesBank), and its wholly owned nonbank subsidiary, SYC Realty Company, Inc., collectively referred to as Codorus Valley or Corporation. PeoplesBank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, SYC Insurance Services, Inc. and SYC Settlement Services, Inc. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The combined results of operations of the nonbank subsidiaries are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Stock dividend and per share computations All per share computations include the retroactive effect of stock dividends declared, including the 5 percent stock dividend declared April 13, 2004. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, used for basic and diluted calculations follows. Three months ended March 31, ---------------------- (In thousands) 2004 2003 - ------------- ---- ---- Basic 2,980 2,973 Diluted 3,048 2,988 Stock-based compensation Stock options issued under shareholder approved employee and director stock option plans are accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). Stock options are granted at exercise prices not less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized related to these plans. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, the Corporation has elected to disclose the pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share as if the stock options had been accounted for under the recognition provisions of the Standard. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Pro forma amounts are indicated below: - 7 - Three months ended March 31, (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) 2004 2003 ------------------------------------------- ---- ---- Reported net income $919 $861 Deduct total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects 5 5 ---- ---- Pro forma net income $914 $856 ---- ---- Reported basic earnings per share $.31 $.29 ---- ---- Reported diluted earnings per share $.30 $.29 ---- ---- Pro forma basic earnings per share $.31 $.29 ---- ---- Pro forma diluted earnings per share $.30 $.29 ==== ==== Comprehensive income Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) and related tax effects are presented in the following table: Three months ended March 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2004 2003 --------------------- ---- ---- Unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during the period $424 $(145) Reclassification adjustment for gains included in income (7) (167) ---- ----- Net unrealized gains (losses) 417 (312) Tax effect (142) 106 ---- ----- Net of tax amount $275 $(206) ---- ----- Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 2003 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation format. These reclassifications had no impact on the Corporation's net income. - 8 - NOTE 3 -- DEPOSITS The composition of deposits on March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, was as follows: March 31, December 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2004 2003 - --------------------- -------- -------- Noninterest bearing demand $ 35,422 $ 33,188 NOW 42,082 40,552 Money market 83,718 75,529 Savings 16,799 15,627 Time CDs less than $100,000 114,351 113,014 Time CDs $100,000 or more 25,516 26,372 -------- -------- Total deposits $317,888 $304,282 ======== ======== NOTE 4 -- LONG-TERM DEBT A summary of long-term debt at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 follows: March 31, December 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2004 2003 -------------------- ---- ---- Obligations of PeoplesBank to FHLBP Due 2005, 5.36%, convertible quarterly 6,000 6,000 Due 2007, 4.69%, amortizing 1,157 1,256 Due 2009, 3.47%, convertible quarterly after December 2006 5,000 5,000 Due 2013, 3.46%, amortizing 4,646 4,753 Due 2014, 6.43%, convertible quarterly after July 2009 5,000 5,000 Obligations of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc.

The FHLBP has an option on the convertible borrowings to convert the rate to a floating rate after the expiration of a specified period. The floating rate is based on the LIBOR index plus a spread. If the FHLBP elects to exercise its conversion option, PeoplesBank, can repay the converted loan without a prepayment penalty. The obligation of Codorus Valley is secured by a mortgage on the Codorus Valley Corporate Center office building at 105 Leader Heights Road, York, Pennsylvania. In February 2004, the obligation, due in 2009, was refinanced without interest penalty. The new obligation, for approximately the same amount, matures in 2011 and has a floating rate based on the 1-month LIBOR index plus 150 basis points. - 9 - NOTE 5--REGULATORY MATTERS Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on Codorus Valley's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators. Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital adequacy require Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank to maintain minimum ratios, as set forth below, to total and Tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage ratio). Management believes that Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank were well capitalized on March 31, 2004, based on FDIC capital guidelines. CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC.

PeoplesBank's management believes there are substantial defenses to this lawsuit and intends to defend it vigorously. Further information regarding this claim is included in this Form 10-Q, on page 21, under Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings. Also during the first quarter of 2003, PeoplesBank became aware of a civil forfeiture action brought about by the United States Attorney's Office. The forfeiture action involves real estate supporting a loan guaranteed by a customer who has pled guilty to criminal activity. PeoplesBank is actively protecting its mortgage interest in the real estate from forfeiture through available defenses including the "innocent owner defense." Further information regarding this forfeiture action is included in this Form 10-Q, on page 17, under Forfeiture Action Related to Mortgaged Property. NOTE 7 -- GUARANTEES Codorus Valley does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the PeoplesBank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Corporation had $3,707,000 of standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2004. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2004, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material. - 11 - ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 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 the accompanying consolidated financial statements for Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (Codorus Valley or Corporation), a bank holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (PeoplesBank), are provided below. Codorus Valley'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. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Management of the Corporation has made forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. When words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates" or similar expressions occur in the Form 10-Q, management is making forward-looking statements. Readers should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this report and in the documents that management incorporates by reference, could affect the future financial results of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, both individually and collectively, and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q. 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 analysis of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful. The Corporation 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 Codorus Valley files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES: Disclosure of Codorus Valley's significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders, filed as Exhibit 13 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2003. Some of these policies are particularly sensitive, requiring that significant judgments, estimates and assumptions be made by management. Additional information is contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis for the most sensitive of these issues, including the provision and allowance for loan losses, located on pages 14 and 17 of this Form 10-Q. Significant estimates are made by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. Management considers a variety of factors in establishing this estimate such as current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, financial and managerial strengths of borrowers, adequacy of collateral, if collateral dependent, or present value of future cash flows and other relevant factors. Estimates related to the value of collateral - 12 - also have a significant impact on whether or not management continues to accrue income on delinquent loans and on the amounts at which foreclosed real estate is recorded on the statement of financial condition. As described on page 21, under Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings, property collateralizing a loan on PeoplesBank's books is subject to litigation. In establishing the loan loss allowance, management presumed that the rights to the property would be protected. If, however, PeoplesBank's property rights are not successfully protected the allowance for loan losses will need to be increased through provision expense to cover the loss. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Corporation accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25. Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is recognized in the income statement related to any options granted under the Corporation's stock option plans. The pro forma impact of net income and earnings per share that would occur if compensation expense was recognized, based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant, is disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements under Stock-Based Compensation. The Corporation has no current plans to change its method of accounting for stock-based compensation. Management discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates and related Management Discussion and Analysis disclosure with the Audit Committee. There were no material changes made to the critical accounting estimates during the periods presented within this report. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS OVERVIEW Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, was $919,000 or $.30 per diluted share, compared to $861,000 or $.29 per diluted share, for the same period of 2003. The $58,000 or 7 percent increase in net income was caused primarily by an increase in net interest income. The $196,000 or 6 percent increase in net interest income was attributable to lower funding costs (rate driven) and a larger volume of loans. With the exception of gains from the sale of investment securities and mortgages, all categories of noninterest income increased above the first quarter of 2003. Gains from the periodic sale of investment securities totaled $7,000 for the current period compared to $167,000 in 2003. Current period gains from the sale of mortgages were $142,000 below 2003 due to various constraints, which included: rising market interest rates which curtailed mortgage refinancing, escalating home prices and staff turnover within the mortgage banking division. Total noninterest expense increased only 1 percent above 2003, reflecting in part a leaner staff. Personnel expense increased less than 1 percent due primarily to a company wide performance evaluation by an external consulting firm in the prior year, which reduced and realigned the staff. Net income as a percentage of average total assets for the first three months (annualized) of 2004 was .98 percent, compared to 1.01 percent for the same period of 2003. Net income as a percentage of average shareholders' equity for the first three months (annualized) of 2004 was 10.70 percent, compared to 10.57 percent for the same period of 2003. Total assets of the Corporation on March 31, 2004, were approximately $380 million, an increase of $7.6 million or 2 percent above December 31, 2003. Asset growth occurred primarily in business loans, which were funded by core deposits. Based on a recent evaluation of probable loan losses and the current loan portfolio, management believes that the allowance is adequate to support losses inherent in the portfolio at March 31, 2004. Management also believes that the Corporation and PeoplesBank were - 13 - well capitalized on March 31, 2004, based on FDIC capital guidelines. An explanation of the factors and trends that caused changes between the two periods, by earnings category, is provided below. NET INTEREST INCOME The U.S. economy continues to expand as evidenced by a 4.2 percent (annualized) growth rate in the GDP for the first quarter of 2004. Many market watchers predict that the Federal Reserve will raise short-term interest rates sometime in 2004. The short-term federal funds rate and the prime rate are currently at 1 percent and 4 percent, respectively, the lowest level in 46 years. The rate on 30-year mortgages has been slowly increasing and recently edged above 6 percent. Net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, was $3,286,000, an increase of $196,000 or 6 percent above the same period in 2003. Net interest income increased primarily as a result of lower deposit rates and a larger volume of loans. Earning assets averaged $341 million and yielded 5.91 percent (tax equivalent) for 2004, compared to $307 million and 6.61 percent, respectively, for 2003. The increase in average earning assets occurred primarily in business and installment loans. Interest bearing liabilities averaged $305 million at an average rate of 2.14 percent for 2004, compared to $280 million and 2.59 percent, respectively, for 2003. The increase in interest bearing liabilities occurred primarily in demand and money market deposits and long-term debt. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES A $50,000 provision expense for loan losses was recorded in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to $37,000 for the same period in 2003. The current period provision was the result of charging off $50,000 for a business loan that was under-collateralized. Information regarding nonperforming assets and the allowance for loan losses can be found within those sections of this report. NONINTEREST INCOME Total noninterest income for the current three-month period was $1,117,000, a decrease of $54,000 or 5 percent below the same period in 2003. The decrease was attributable to a $160,000 decrease in gains from the periodic sale of investment securities and a $142,000 decrease in gains from the sale of mortgages. Income from the sale of mortgages was constrained by rising market interest rates which curtailed mortgage refinancing, escalating home prices and staff turnover within the mortgage banking division. With the exception of gains from sales of securities and mortgages, all other noninterest income categories increased above the prior year. Service charges on deposit accounts, principally insufficient funds fees, increased $125,000 or 58 percent as a result of a discretionary overdraft service, implemented by PeoplesBank in June 2003. Commission income from mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales increased $66,000 or 39 percent due to an increase in sales volume. Trust and investment services fees increased $28,000 or 13 percent due to a price increase, effective January 1, 2004, and business growth. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Total noninterest expense for the current three-month period was $3,107,000, an increase of $34,000 or 1 percent above the same period in 2003. The small increase was due primarily to increases in equipment, principally software maintenance contracts, and marketing expense. Personnel expense increased less than 1 percent due primarily to a company wide performance evaluation by an external consulting firm in the prior year, which reduced and realigned the staff. During the current quarter the Corporation did not incur any foreclosed real estate expense because the foreclosed real estate portfolio - 14 - was relatively small and its net realizable value exceeded its cost basis. Comparatively, foreclosed real estate expense was $67,000 in the first quarter of 2003. INCOME TAXES The provision for federal income tax was $327,000 for the current three-month period, compared to $290,000 for the same period in 2003. The $37,000 or 13 percent increase in tax reflects an increase in pretax income. Management anticipates a reduction in the provision for federal income tax for 2004, which is expected to result from the recognition of low-income housing tax credits from PeoplesBank's investment in a real estate joint venture. PeoplesBank holds a 73.47 percent interest, as a limited partner, representing a $2.8 million investment. The joint venture involves the construction and lease of 60 new townhouses in Dover, PA. The project is well underway but rain has hampered construction efforts and delayed its completion. Management anticipates that this venture will be complete and fully operational by the end of 2004, based on a projection provided by the general partner. BALANCE SHEET REVIEW LOANS On March 31, 2004, loans were approximately $264 million, an increase of $4 million or 1.5 percent above year-end 2003. The increase was attributable to growth in the business loan portfolio. DEPOSITS On March 31, 2004, total deposits were approximately $318 million, an increase of $13.6 million or 4.5 percent above year-end 2003. The increase occurred in core deposits such as money market, demand and savings accounts. During the first quarter, PeoplesBank created a money market deposit vehicle called the Index Fund whose rate is linked to the published federal funds rate. The Index Fund, which has a high minimum balance, was targeted at PeoplesBank's wealth management customers. To date, the Index Fund has generated approximately $8 million in deposits. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY Shareholders' equity or capital, as a source of funds, enables Codorus Valley to maintain asset growth and absorb losses. Total shareholders' equity was approximately $34,654,000 on March 31, 2004, an increase of $865,000 or 2.5 percent above December 31, 2003. The increase was caused primarily by an increase in retained net income from profitable operations. On April 13, 2004, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.125 per common share ($.119 adjusted), payable on or before May 11, 2004, to shareholders of record April 27, 2004. This follows a $.125 per common share ($.119 adjusted) dividend paid in February. Also on April 13, 2004, the board declared a 5 percent stock dividend payable on or before June 10, 2004, to shareholders of record April 27, 2004. Distribution of the stock dividend will result in the issuance of approximately 141,964 common shares, as reflected in the enclosed financial statements. Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators that involve quantitative guidelines and qualitative judgments. Quantitative measures established by regulators pertain to minimum capital ratios, as set forth in Note 5 -- Regulatory - 15 - Matters, to the financial statements. Management believes that Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank were well capitalized on March 31, 2004, based on FDIC capital guidelines. RISK MANAGEMENT NONPERFORMING ASSETS Table 1--Nonperforming Assets, provides a summary of nonperforming assets and related ratios. The paragraphs below provide information for selected categories for March 31, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003. TABLE 1-NONPERFORMING ASSETS March 31, December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2004 2003 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nonaccrual loans $1,047 $516 Accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest 143 49 Foreclosed real estate, net of allowance 1,315 1,326 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming assets $2,505 $1,891 =========================================================================================== Ratios: Nonaccrual loans as a % of total period-end loans 0.40% 0.20% Nonperforming assets as a % of total period-end loans and net foreclosed real estate 0.94% 0.72% Nonperforming assets as a % of total period-end stockholders' equity 7.23% 5.60% Allowance for loan losses as a multiple of nonaccrual loans 1.7x 3.3x Nonaccrual loans were principally comprised of collateral dependent business loans. Accordingly, Codorus Valley recognized interest income on a cash basis for these loans. On March 31, 2004, the nonaccrual loan portfolio was $1,047,000, compared to $516,000 on December 31, 2003. The level of nonperforming loans was relatively low for both periods. On March 31, 2004, the portfolio was comprised of 15 unrelated accounts ranging in size from $14,000 to $240,000. Accounts within the nonaccrual loan portfolio vary by industry and are generally collateralized with real estate assets. Management and the board of directors evaluate the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly. 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. The level of accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest was not significant for the periods presented. Generally, loans in the past due category are adequately collateralized and in the process of collection. -16- Foreclosed real estate, net of allowance, was $1,315,000 on March 31, 2004, approximately the same as year end 2003. One account for $1,208,000 represented most of the portfolio balance. This account is currently in litigation with the borrower and described on page 21, under Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings of this report. As of March 31, 2004, a loss allowance and provision for foreclosed real estate assets was unnecessary in management's judgment because the fair value supported by independent appraisal, less selling expenses, exceeded carrying value. Comparatively, a $55,000 loss provision was recorded in the first quarter of 2003 to reflect losses associated with declines in net realizable value. Efforts to liquidate foreclosed real estate are proceeding as quickly as potential buyers can be located. FORFEITURE ACTION RELATED TO MORTGAGED PROPERTY On March 26, 2003, the United States Attorney's Office began a property (in rem) civil forfeiture action, by Complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, titled United States of America v. Approximately 83 Acres of Real Estate Located in Fairview Township, York County, Pennsylvania, titled in the name of CCA Associates, Inc. The real property, which is the subject of the forfeiture action, serves as the sole collateral for a loan by PeoplesBank to CCA Associates, Inc. (CCA), the owner or reputed owner of this property. The loan to CCA, which was guaranteed by a third party, has a current principal balance of $1,500,000 plus accrued interest and other fees and costs. The third party guarantor recently pled guilty and is awaiting sentencing by the federal government for his involvement in criminal activity. PeoplesBank intends to protect its mortgage interest in the real estate from forfeiture through available defenses including the "innocent owner defense." As of the date this report was filed, the loan was current and classified as a performing asset. Management believes that the primary debt obligation to PeoplesBank will be satisfied once the property is liquidated and the proceeds from the sale distributed. Therefore, management does not believe that the forfeiture action will have a material adverse impact on the Corporation. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Table 2 -- Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses, shows the allowance was $1,768,000 or .67 percent of total loans on March 31, 2004, compared to $1,515,000 or .64 percent of total loans, respectively, for March 31, 2003. The $253,000 or 17 percent increase in the allowance was attributable to loan growth and management's overall assessment of the condition of the loan portfolio. Based on a recent evaluation of potential loan losses in the current portfolio, management believes that the allowance is adequate to support losses inherent in the loan portfolio on March 31, 2004. - 17 - TABLE 2-ANALYSIS OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (dollars in thousands) 2004 2003 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance-January 1, $1,694 $1,515 Provision charged to operating expense 50 37 Loans charged off: Commercial 50 5 Real estate-mortgage 0 0 Consumer 13 62 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loans charged off 63 67 Recoveries: Commercial 87 16 Real estate-mortgage 0 0 Consumer 0 14 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total recoveries 87 30 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net charge-offs (recoveries) (24) 37 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance-March 31, $1,768 $1,515 ================================================================================ Ratios: Net charge-offs (annualized) to average total loans -0.04% 0.06% Allowance for loan losses to total loans at period-end 0.67% 0.64% Allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more 148.6% 25.0% LIQUIDITY Codorus Valley's loan-to-deposit ratio, which is used as a broad measure of liquidity, was approximately 83 percent on March 31, 2004, compared to 86 percent on December 31, 2003. Liquidity for both periods was adequate based on availability from many sources, including the potential liquidation of a $62 million portfolio of available-for-sale securities, valued at March 31, 2004. Another important source of liquidity for PeoplesBank is available credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLBP). On December 31, 2003, the latest available date, available funding from the FHLBP was approximately $74 million. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Codorus Valley's financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist primarily of commitments to grant new loans, unfunded commitments of existing loans, and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused commitments on March 31, 2004, totaled $86,670,000 and consisted of $49,035,000 in unfunded commitments of existing loans, $33,928,000 to grant new loans and $3,707,000 in letters of credit. Due to fixed maturity dates and specified conditions within these instruments, many will expire without being drawn upon. Management believes that amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations and therefore do not present a significant liquidity risk to Codorus Valley. -18- Contractual Obligations Codorus Valley has various long-term contractual obligations outstanding at March 31, 2004, including long-term debt, time deposits and obligations under capital and operating leases. These obligations have not changed significantly from those reported in Table 11 of the Form 10-K for 2003. A schedule of long-term debt for the period ended March 31, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003, is provided in Note 4 to the financial statements. MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT In the normal course of conducting business, Codorus Valley 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. An asset-liability management committee comprised of members of management manages interest rate risk. Codorus Valley performed a simulation on its balance sheet at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The results of the point-in-time analyses are shown in Table 3 -- Interest Rate Sensitivity. The analyses reveal that the Corporation's balance sheet was asset sensitive for both periods. Asset sensitive means that loan and investment assets will reprice to a greater and faster degree than the deposits and debt that fund them. Therefore, the balance sheet is positioned to benefit from economic growth and rising market interest rates. Conversely, if market interest rates decline, earnings are expected to decline. A detailed discussion of market interest risk is provided in the Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2003. TABLE 3-INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY at March 31, 2004 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change in Change in interest rates Forecasted interest net income (basis points) over 12 mos rate scenario $000's % - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +200 High 348 9.2 0 Flat (baseline) 0 0.0 -200 Low (517) (13.7) +87 Most likely 84 2.2 at December 31, 2003 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change in Change in interest rates Forecasted interest net income (basis points) over 12 mos rate scenario $000's % - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +200 High 241 5.8 0 Flat (baseline) 0 0.0 -200 Low (438) (10.6) +88 Most likely 17 0.4 OTHER RISKS Additional grand acts of terrorism in the United States of America, or in other countries, could erode consumer and business confidence and disrupt commerce, resulting in a prolonged economic recession. - 19 - A prolonged economic recession could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, capital resources or results of operations of Codorus Valley. Periodically, federal and state legislation is proposed that could result in additional regulation of, or restrictions on, the business of Codorus Valley and its subsidiaries. Other than as discussed in the Corporation's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2003, it cannot be predicted whether such legislation will be adopted or, if adopted, how such legislation would affect the business of Codorus Valley and its subsidiaries. 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 federal and state laws and regulations has, and in the future, may have a negative impact on Codorus Valley's results of operations. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Refer to the section entitled "Market risk management" within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Codorus Valley maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Corporation files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of March 31, 2004, the chief executive and chief financial officers of Codorus Valley concluded that Codorus Valley's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate. Codorus Valley made no significant changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls in the quarter ended March 31, 2004, as evaluated by the chief executive and chief financial officers. PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On March 19, 2003, a former bank client filed a counterclaim against PeoplesBank in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, alleging, among other things, that PeoplesBank: breached an implied-in-fact agreement to the claimants' related to loans made to the claimants; intentionally interfered with the claimants' existing contracts and prospective business relations; and made certain misrepresentations to the claimants. The claimants allege to have incurred unliquidated losses and other damages in excess of $3.9 million and exemplary damages in excess of $35,000. The counterclaim was filed in response to the complaint filed by PeoplesBank whereby PeoplesBank alleges that the claimants defaulted on a promissory note resulting in damages to PeoplesBank in excess of $1.2 million. Management believes there are substantial defenses to this lawsuit and intends to defend it vigorously. The impact of the final disposition of this lawsuit cannot be assessed at this time. Counsel believes that the claim may qualify as a "covered claim" under PeoplesBank's lender liability insurance policy, which provides coverage for losses in excess of $100,000, and which should cover the defense and indemnification of PeoplesBank for the claim. The factual discovery process has not been - 20 - completed. Although PeoplesBank expects to incur costs in defending these claims, based on the results of its investigation thus far and preliminary discussions with its lawyers, PeoplesBank currently does not believe the ultimate resolution of the claims will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. Another legal proceeding appears on page 17 under the caption, Forfeiture Action Related to Mortgaged Property. Management of Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank is not aware of any other material litigation, other than routine litigation incident to the nature of its business, nor any material proceedings pending, threatened or contemplated against Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank by government authorities.
