Basis of Presentation --------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Norwood Financial Corp. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank (Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp. and WTRO Properties. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. Estimates --------- The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the 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 from those estimates. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company. The operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003 or any other future interim period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2002. 3. Accounting Policies ------------------- The accounting policies of the Company as applied in the interim financial statements presented are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Norwood Financial Corp. filed for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company accounts for stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to stock based employee compensation. 7 (in thousands, except for per share data) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- September 30 September 30 ------------------ ----------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 --------- --------- --------- --------- Net income as reported $ 1,194 $ 1,154 $ 3,426 $ 3,224 Total stock-based employee compensation determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of taxes (10) (15) (40) (59) --------- --------- --------- --------- $ 1,184 $ 1,139 $ 3,386 $ 3,165 ========= ========= ========= ========= Earnings per share (basic) As Reported $ .46 $ .45 $ $ 1.32 $ 1.27 Pro forma .45 .45 1.30 1.24 Earnings per share (assuming dilution) As Reported .45 .44 1.30 1.25 Pro forma .44 .44 1.28 1.22 During 2003, directors and officers exercised stock options to acquire 25,867 shares of stock at a weighted average exercise price of $12.90 per share. 4. Stock Dividend and Earnings Per Share ------------------------------------- On April 8, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend on common stock outstanding, payable June 16, 2003 to shareholders of record on May 30, 2003. The stock split resulted in the issuance of 901,912 additional common shares, including 21 fractional shares paid in cash. All per share data has been adjusted for the effect of the stock split. Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. 8 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- September 30 September 30 ------------ ------------ 2003 2002 2003 2002 ----- ----- ----- ----- (In Thousands) (In Thousands) Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding 2,614 2,557 2,599 2,547 Dilutive effect of stock options 57 45 47 41 ----- ----- ----- ----- Diluted EPS weighted average shares outstanding 2,671 2,602 2,646 2,588 ===== ===== ===== ===== 5. Cash Flow Information --------------------- For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold. Cash payments for interest for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $4,882,000 and $6,447,000 respectively. Cash payments for income taxes in 2003 were $1,351,000 compared to $2,415,000 in 2002. Non-cash investing activity for 2003 and 2002 included foreclosed mortgage loans transferred to foreclosed real estate and repossession of other assets of $492,000 and $1,050,000. 6. 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 and related tax effects are as follows.

Reclassification of Comparative Amounts --------------------------------------- Certain comparative amounts for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect net income. 8. Recent Accounting Standards --------------------------- In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." This Interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under certain specified guarantees. FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies." In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or indemnification agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying that is related to an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed party, which would include financial standby letters of credit. Certain guarantee contracts are excluded from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of this Interpretation, including, among others, guarantees related to commercial letters of credit and loan commitments. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 require disclosure of the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor's obligations under the guarantee. The accounting recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Adoption of FIN 45 did not have any impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company had $811,000 of standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2003. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The Company requires collateral and personal guarantees supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral and the enforcement of personal guarantees would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of September 30, 2003 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued after December 31, 2002 is not material. In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No., 149, "Amendment of Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement clarifies the definition of a derivative and incorporates certain decisions made by the Board as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003 and should be applied prospectively. The provisions of the Statement that relate to implementation issues addressed by the Derivatives Implementation Group that have been effective should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. Adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations. 10 In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51". This interpretation provides new guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) and requires such entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risk among parties involved. The interpretation also adds disclosure requirements for investors that are involved with unconsolidated VIEs. The disclosure requirements apply to all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003 and are effective for the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for VIEs acquired before February 1, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have any impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This Statement requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. Many of these instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective beginning July 1, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward Looking Statements - -------------------------- The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words "believes, "anticipates," "contemplates," "expects," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of opening a new branch, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. Critical Accounting Policies - ---------------------------- Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements (incorporated by reference in Item 8 of the 10-K) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations. The most significant estimates in the preparation of the Company's financial statements are for the allowance for loans losses and accounting for stock options. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses calculation under "Non-performing Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses" in the "Financial Condition" section below. The Company accounts for their stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, " and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The Company currently has no intentions of adopting the expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." 11 Changes in Financial Condition - ------------------------------ General - ------- Total assets at September 30, 2003 were $392.7 million compared to $367.5 million at year-end 2002. Securities - ---------- The fair value of securities available for sale at September 30, 2003 was $127.4 million, compared to $114.8 million at December 31, 2002. Total purchases for the period ended September 30, 2003 were $90.9 million with securities called and principal reductions of $60.1 million and sales of $16.6 million. The purchases were principally obligations of U.S. Government sponsored agencies, including callable bonds and mortgage-backed-securities. Generally, the purchases have average lives of less than 4 years. Loans - ----- Total loans receivable, net of unearned income, were $228.9 million at September 30, 2003, compared to $218.0 million at December 31, 2002. The increase was principally due to growth in the commercial real estate loan portfolio which increased $10.5 million or 13.1%. The Company sold $7.3 million of 30-year fixed-rate residential mortgages, for interest rate risk management, into the secondary market, at a gain of $192,000, included in other income. The Company saw a continued decline in its indirect automobile portfolio, included in consumer loans, which experienced a net run-off of $8.2 million to total $31.3 million as of September 30, 2003. The decrease is due to competition from larger banks, automakers, finance companies and a slow down in the auto market. The Company is also focusing its retail efforts on direct lending through its branch system. The Company no longer originates automobile leases, and as a result, the portfolio declined $1,125,000 from December 31, 2002 to $467,000 at September 30, 2003, which includes residual value of $424,000. The Company liquidates its returned off-lease vehicles through various used car dealers and automobile auction centers. As of September 30, 2003 the Company had an inventory of vehicles to liquidate of $116,000, declining from $166,000 at December 31, 2002. Total provision for losses incurred on off-lease vehicles, included in other expense, was $25,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to $790,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2002. The Company's reserve for future residual value losses was $52,000 at September 30, 2003 compared to $213,000 at December 31, 2002. 12 Set forth below is selected data relating to the composition of the loan portfolio at the dates indicated: Types of loans (dollars in thousands) September 30, 2003 December 31, 2002 ------------------ ----------------- $ % $ % --------- ----- --------- ----- Real Estate-Residential 73,805 32.2 69,040 31.6 Commercial 90,116 39.3 79,623 36.5 Construction 5,717 2.5 4,109 1.9 Commercial, financial and agricultural 18,954 8.3 15,074 6.9 Consumer loans to individuals 40,229 17.5 48,951 22.4 Lease financing, net of unearned income 467 0.2 1,592 0.7 --------- ----- --------- ----- Total loans 229,288 100.0% 218,389 100.0% Less: Unearned income and deferred fees (404) (419) Allowance for loan losses (3,272) (3,146) --------- --------- Total loans, net $ 228,842 $ 217,970 ========= ========= Allowance for Loan Losses and Non-performing Assets Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated: Three Nine (dollars in thousands) Months Ended September 30 Months Ended September 30 ------------------------- ------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------- ------- ------- ------- Balance, beginning $ 3,294 $ 3,260 $ 3,146 $ 3,216 Provision for loan losses 165 150 495 480 Charge-offs (197) (279) (448) (620) Recoveries 10 12 79 67 ------- ------- ------- ------- Net charge-offs (187) (267) (369) (553) ------- ------- ------- ------- Balance, ending $ 3,272 $ 3,143 $ 3,272 $ 3,143 ======= ======= ======= ======= Allowance to total loans 1.43% 1.47% 1.43% 1.47% Net charge-offs to average loans (annualized) .33% .50% .22% .35% 13 The allowance for loan losses totaled $3,272,000 as of September 30, 2003 and represented 1.43% of total loans, compared to $3,146,000 as of December 31, 2002, and $3,143,000 as of September 30, 2002. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, totaled $369,000 and consisted principally of losses on the sale of repossessed automobiles and the write-down of a commercial credit secured by automobiles. The Company's loan review process assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The process includes an analysis of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. It includes an analysis of impaired loans and an historical review of credit losses by loan type. Other factors considered include: concentration of credit in specific industries; economic and industry conditions; trends in delinquencies, large dollar exposures and loan growth trends. Management considers the allowance adequate at September 30, 2003 based upon the factors in the analysis. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future. At September 30, 2003, non-performing loans totaled $290,000, which is .13% of total loans compared to $221,000, or .10% of total loans at December 31, 2002 and $278,000 and .13% as of September 30, 2002. The increase from year-end is due to a commercial credit secured by automobiles, which had an $80,000 write-down in the third quarter, with the remaining collateral scheduled for liquidation in the fourth quarter. The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate at the dates indicated: (dollars in thousands) September 30, 2003 December 31, 2002 ------------------- ----------------- Loans accounted for on a non accrual basis: Commercial and all other $116 $ - Real Estate 69 213 Consumer - 3 ---- ---- Total 185 216 Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more 105 5 ---- ---- Total non-performing loans $290 $221 Foreclosed real estate 11 21 ---- ---- Total non-performing assets $301 $242 ==== ==== Allowance for loans losses as a percent of non-performing loans 1,128.3% 1,423.5% Non-performing loans to total loans .13% .10% Non-performing assets to total assets .08% .07% Deposits - -------- Total deposits as of September 30, 2003 were $315.5 million compared to $291.9 million as of December 31, 2002. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits as of September 30, 2003 were $45.8 million compared to $33.5 million at December 31, 2002. The increase is due in part to new commercial relationships, the seasonality of certain commercial and municipal accounts, and a new retail checking product introduced in the fourth quarter of 2002. Time deposits in denominations of $100,000 or more were $28.1 million at September 30, 2003 compared to $29.5 million at December 31, 2002. Retail savings accounts increased $5 million to $56.6 million. The Company, as of September 30, 2003, had $7.8 million of commercial cash management accounts included in short-term borrowings, which represents funds of commercial customers invested in overnight repurchase agreements. The Company considers these accounts as core funding. 14 The following table sets forth deposit balances as of the dates indicated. (dollars in thousands) September 30, 2003 December 31, 2002 ------------------ ----------------- Non-interest-bearing demand $ 45,846 $ 33,453 Interest-bearing demand 43,747 40,407 Money Market 43,563 38,908 Savings 56,595 51,629 Time 125,709 127,455 -------- -------- Total $315,460 $291,852 ======== ======== Stockholders' Equity and Capital Ratios - --------------------------------------- At September 30, 2003, total stockholders' equity totaled $41.8 million, a net increase of $1,710,000 from December 31, 2002. The net increase in stockholders' equity was primarily due to $3,426,000 in net income, that was partially offset by $1,248,000 of cash dividends declared. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $1,092,000 due to a decrease in fair value of securities in the available for sale portfolio. This decrease in fair value is the result of a change in interest rates, which may unfavorably impact the value of the securities. Because of interest rate volatility, the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim and year-end period. A comparison of the Company's regulatory capital ratios is as follows: September 30, 2003 December 31, 2002 ------------------ ----------------- Tier 1 Capital (To average assets) 10.41% 10.13% Tier 1 Capital (To risk-weighted assets) 15.38% 15.06% Total Capital (To risk-weighted assets) 16.89% 16.57% The minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC on the Bank for leverage, Tier 1 and Total Capital are 4%, 4% and 8%, respectively. The Company has similar capital requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). The Bank is also subject to more stringent Pennsylvania Department of Banking (PDB) guidelines. The Bank's capital ratios do not differ significantly from the Company's ratios. Although not adopted in regulation form, the PDB utilizes capital standards requiring a minimum of 6.5% leverage capital and 10% total capital. The Company and the Bank were in compliance in FRB, FDIC and PDB capital requirements as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. 15 Results of Operations NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP.

The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the quarter were 1.22% and 11.41%, respectively, compared to 1.26% and 11.98%, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2002. Net Interest Income - ------------------- Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the three months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $3,475,000 compared to $3,673,000 in 2002, a decrease of $198,000. The resultant fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.44% and 3.80%, respectively, compared to 3.83% and 4.27%, respectively, for the 2002 period. Interest income (fte) totaled $4,936,000 with a yield of 5.39% for the period in 2003, compared to $5,532,000 and 6.43% in 2002. The decrease in yield was due in part to lower interest rates in 2003, with prime rate at 4.00% and Federal Funds rate at 1.00% as of September 30, 2003, declining from 4.75% and 1.75%, respectively, as of September 30, 2002. The earning asset yield was also unfavorably impacted by increased cash flows and maturities in the investment portfolio, which were reinvested at lower yields. The reinvestment purchases were also relatively short-term instruments with average lives of less than 3.5 years. Loan yields were also unfavorably impacted by increased refinancing activity and cash flows. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $1,461,000 at a cost of 1.95%, compared to $1,859,000 and 2.60% in 2002. All categories of liability costs decreased in the lower interest rate environments. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $15.5 million, with the proceeds principally invested in commercial and residential real estate loans. Other Income - ------------ Other income totaled $885,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $755,000 for the same period in 2002. Net realized gains on securities transactions were $156,000 for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $83,000 in 2002, with the gains principally due to the sale of corporate bonds and mortgage backed securities. Gain on the sale of long-term mortgages was $19,000 for 2003, compared to $6,000 in 2002. The increase in cash surrender on life insurance was $78,000 for the period in 2003 compared to $51,000 in 2002 due to purchase of an additional $2,550,000 of bank owned life insurance in 2003. Other Expense - ------------- Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $2,417,000, a decrease of $123,000 from $2,540,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease was principally due to lower losses on lease residuals with $-0- for the third quarter of 2003, compared to $180,000 in the similar period in 2002, as more cars were liquidated in 2002. The Bank made a $100,000 charitable contribution (included in other expenses - other) in the third quarter of 2003. The contribution qualifies for the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Program. As a result, a $90,000 tax credit was recorded against the Bank's Pennsylvania Shares Tax Liability (included in Other expense-Taxes other than income). Salary and employee benefits expense was $1,232,000 in 2003, compared to 1,219,000 in 2002, with increases in retirement plan expense and health insurance offset by deferred salaries related to loan activity. Income Tax Expense - ------------------ Income tax expense totaled $408,000 for an effective tax rate of 25.5% for the period ending September 30, 2003, compared to $439,000 and 27.6% in the third quarter of 2002. The effective tax rate is less than 34%, due to tax-exempt income on municipal securities and loans and the earnings on the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance. 18 Results of Operations NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP.

This compares to $3,224,000 earned for the corresponding period in 2002 with basic eps of $1.27 and diluted eps of $1.25. The resulting annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.22% for 2003, with an annualized return on equity (ROE) of 11.16% compared to an ROA of 1.21% in 2002 and ROE of 11.70%. Net Interest Income - ------------------- Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, totaled $10,316,000, decreasing from $10,891,000 for the same period in 2002. The net interest spread and net interest margin for 2003 were 3.48% and 3.85%, respectively, compared to 3.87% and 4.33%, respectively in 2002. The decrease in net interest income was due to asset yields declining faster than the cost of funds. This is due in part to the increase in cash flow, caused by low interest rates and high levels of refinancing, in both the investment and loan portfolios. The proceeds were reinvested at the current low yields. Net interest income was also unfavorably affected by the asset mix, with a lower average loan to average deposit ratio of 74% in 2003, compared to 75.8% in 2002. Interest income (fte) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $14,992,000 compared to $16,711,000 in 2002. The decrease was principally due to the lower interest rate environment, with the average prime rate of 4.14% in 2003 compared to 4.75% in 2002. Treasury rates were also considerably lower in 2003, which reduced the reinvestment yield on the investment portfolio. The yield on earning assets for the period in 2003 was 5.59% compared to 6.64% in 2002. Interest expense for 2003 was $4,676,000 with a cost of 2.11%, compared to $5,820,000 and 2.77% in 2002. All deposit categories experienced a decrease in costs, with total interest-bearing deposits at 1.84%, declining from 2.54% in 2002. The Company has also shortened the average repricing term of the investment portfolio, from 3.3 years as of September 30, 2002 to 2.2 years as of September 30, 2003. This has a negative effect on yields in the short-term, but positions the bank to take advantage of any increase in market interest rates. Other Income - ------------ Other income totaled $2,695,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $2,384,000 for the 2002 period. Service charges and fees increased $78,000 to $1,391,000 due in part to fees related to loan activity and increased debit card revenues. Other income included $192,000 on gains on the sale of long-term fixed-rate mortgages compared to $65,000 in 2002. The gains on sales of securities were $542,000, and consisted principally of sales of equity holdings in other financial institutions, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities, compared to $427,000 in similar gains in 2002. Other Expense - ------------- Other expense for nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $7,358,000, decreasing from $7,964,000 in 2002. The decrease was principally due to a lower level of losses on lease residuals, as a result of a decrease in the number of leases, $25,000 in 2003 compared to $790,000 in 2002. Salary and benefit expense totaled $3,681,000 in 2003 compared to $3,675,000. Increases in health insurance costs and retirement plans were partially offset by a higher level of deferred salaries related to loan activity. Income Tax Expense - ------------------ Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $1,241,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.6% compared to $1,188,000 and 26.9% in 2002. 21 Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Market Risk - ----------- There were no significant changes as of September 30, 2003 from the information presented in the Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2002.
