EXHIBIT 99 Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. Press Release date July 14, 2006 CODORUS VALLEY BANCORP, INC. REPORTS RECORD EARNINGS Strong Growth Propels Assets over $500 Million Milestone York, Pennsylvania (July 14, 2006) -- Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVLY), the parent company of PeoplesBank, today announced record earnings of $1,423,000 or $.43 per share ($.42 diluted) for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, up 31% from the $1,085,000 or $.33 per share ($.32 diluted) earned for the same quarter of 2005. For the first six months of 2006, earnings were $2,784,000 or $.84 per share ($.82 diluted) compared to $2,313,000 or $.70 per share ($.69 diluted) for the same period in 2005. In addition, on July 11, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $.13 per share payable on or before August 8, 2006 to shareholders of record July 25, 2006. Codorus Valley achieved a historic financial milestone on June 30, 2006, when total assets exceeded one-half billion dollars. Total assets on that date were approximately $517 million, or an 18% increase of $80 million over June 30, 2005 assets. Asset growth occurred primarily in business and consumer loans which were funded by strong deposit growth. "We are delighted with the continued strong performance of the company," commented Larry J. Miller, President and CEO of the Company. "As the largest independent financial institution headquartered in York County, we are especially proud of achieving the $500 million asset milestone while continuing to provide our clients and neighbors with the best community banking experience possible." Quarter-to-quarter and year-to-date results were positively impacted by several factors. Increases in net interest income and non-interest income more than offset increases in non-interest expense. Strong loan growth and fee generation as well as higher yields on variable rate business loans contributed to the increase in net interest income. Non-interest income was positively impacted by increased revenue from deposit and wealth management services. The increase in non-interest expense was attributable to corporate expansion and normal business growth.
