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 month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004 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, 2003. 3. Earnings Per Share ------------------ 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. The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share: (in thousands) Three Months Ended ------------------ March 31, --------- 2004 2003 ----- ----- Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding 2,636 2,589 Dilutive effect of stock options 55 37 ----- ----- Diluted EPS weighted average shares outstanding 2,691 2,626 ===== ===== 4. Stock Option Plans ------------------ 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 7 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. Three Months ended March 31 --------------------------- (in thousands, except for per share data) 2004 2003 --------- --------- Net income as reported $ 1,200 $ 1,110 Total stock-based employee compensation determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of taxes (36) (15) --------- --------- Earnings per share (basic) $ 1,164 $ 1,095 ========= ========= Earnings per share (basic) As Reported $ .46 $ .43 Pro forma .44 .42 Earnings per share (assuming dilution) As Reported .45 .42 Pro forma .43 .42 During the first three months ended March 31, 2004, there were 5,615 stock options exercised at an average exercise price of $11.27. 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 period ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were $1,350,000 and $1,704,000 respectively. Cash payments for income taxes in 2004 were $2,350 compared to $1,400 in 2003. Non-cash investing activity for 2004 and 2003 included foreclosed mortgage loans and repossession of other assets of $140,000 and $124,000, respectively. 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. 8 (in thousands) Three Months Ended March 31 --------------------------- 2004 2003 ------ ------ Unrealized holding gains/(losses) On available for sale securities $ 728 $(346) Reclassification adjustment for gains Realized in income (178) (143) ----- ----- Net unrealized gain/(losses) 550 (489) Income tax (benefit) 186 (165) ----- ----- Other comprehensive income $ 364 $(324) ===== ===== 7. Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank's financial instrument commitments is as follows: March 31 Dec. 31 2004 2003 ------- ------- Commitments to grant loans $11,511 $12,197 Unfunded commitments under lines of credit 27,575 26,269 Standby letters of credit 2,213 2,128 ------- ------- $41,299 $40,594 ======= ======= Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate. 9 The Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. 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. 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 "Allowance for Loan Losses and Non-performing Assets" and in the "Changes in 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." Changes in Financial Condition - ------------------------------ General - ------- Total assets as of March 31, 2004 were $383.9 million compared to $387.5 million as of December 31, 2003. The decline was principally due to a decline in securities available for sale and was partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents. 10 Securities - ---------- The fair value of securities available for sale as of March 31, 2004 was $116.4 million declining from $124.8 million as of December 31, 2003. The decrease was principally due to a decline of $8.4 million in callable bonds of U.S. Government agencies and the sale of $2.4 million of mortgage-backed securities. The Company is reducing its exposure to callable bonds and to mortgage backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac). Cash flow from the portfolio was reinvested in short-term corporate bonds and invested in federal funds sold. As a result, federal funds sold totaled $6.4 million as of March 31, 2004, compared to $-0- at year-end. Loans Receivable - ---------------- Total loans receivable were $233.6 million as of March 31, 2004 compared to $233.7 million as of December 31, 2003. An increase in commercial loans of $3.9 million was offset by a continued decline in indirect lending of $2.8 million. The Company's indirect lending portfolio (included in consumer loans to individuals) declined $2.8 million to $25.5 million as of March 31, 2004. As the Company is focusing its efforts on increasing direct and real estate lending through its branch system, it anticipates a further decrease in indirect financing throughout 2004. The Company sold $3.6 million of 30 year fixed rate residential mortgages at a gain of $57,000 (included in other income) for the three months ended March 31, 2004. As a result, total residential real estate loans increased only slightly, to total $77.6 million as compared to $77.5 million as of December 31, 2003. The Company's automobile leasing portfolio totaled $201,000 as of March 31, 2004 compared to $316,000 at year-end. The Company expects all the remaining leases to mature in 2004, and to have the majority of vehicles liquidated by year-end 2004. The Company maintains a reserve for residual losses (included in other liabilities) which totaled $92,000 as of March 31, 2004 compared to $66,000 as of December 31, 2003. Set forth below is selected data relating to the composition of the loan portfolio at the dates indicated: Types of loans (dollars in thousands) March 31, 2004 December 31, 2003 ------------------ ------------------- $ % $ % ------- ----- ------- ----- Real Estate-Residential $ 77,585 33.2% $ 77,459 33.1% Commercial 97,747 41.7 96,276 41.1 Construction 3,340 1.4 5,904 2.5 Commercial, financial and agricultural 20,963 9.0 17,022 7.3 Consumer loans to individuals 34,188 14.6 37,219 15.9 Lease financing, net of unearned income 201 0.1 316 0.1 --------- ----- --------- ----- Total loans 234,024 100.0% 234,196 100.0% ===== ===== Unearned income and deferred fees (437) (463) --------- --------- 233,587 233,733 Allowance for loan losses (3,267) (3,302) --------- --------- Net loans receivable $ 230,285 $ 230,466 ========= ========= 11 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 (dollars in thousands) Months Ended March 31 ------------------------ 2004 2003 ------- ------- Balance, beginning $ 3,267 $ 3,146 Provision for loan losses 125 165 Charge-offs (98) (133) Recoveries 8 34 ------- ------- Net charge-offs (90) (99) ------- ------- Balance, ending $ 3,302 $ 3,212 ======= ======= Allowance to total loans 1.41% 1.46% Net charge-offs to average loans (annualized) .16% .18% The allowance for loan losses totaled $3,302,000 as of March 31, 2004 and represented 1.41% of total loans, compared to $3,267,000 at year end, and $3,212,000 as of March 31, 2003. Net charge-offs for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, totaled $90,000 and consisted principally of losses on the sale of repossessed 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 a 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. Management considers the allowance adequate at March 31, 2004 based on the Company's criteria. 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. 12 As of March 31, 2004, non-performing loans totaled $74,000, which is ..03% of total loans compared to $143,000, or .06% of total loans at December 31, 2003. The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate at the date indicated: (dollars in thousands) March 31, December 31, --------- ------------ 2004 2003 ---- ---- Loans accounted for on a non accrual basis: Commercial and all other $ - $ - Real Estate 61 125 Consumer - 1 ----- ----- Total 61 125 Accruing loans which are contractually Past due 90 days or more 13 18 ----- ----- Total non-performing loans 74 143 Foreclosed real estate 22 - ----- ----- Total non-performing assets $ 96 $ 143 ===== ===== Allowance for loans losses Coverage of non-performing loans 44.6x 22.8x Non-performing loans to total loans .03% .06% Non-performing assets to total assets .03% .04% Deposits - -------- Total deposits as of March 31, 2004 were $305.4 million declining slightly from $306.7 million as of December 31, 2003.

The decrease was principally due to a lower level of cash management account balances Off Balance Sheet Arrangements - ------------------------------ The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of the contractual amount of the Company's financial instrument commitments is as follows: March 31, December 31, 2004 2003 ---- ---- (In thousands) Commitments to grant loans $11,511 $12,197 Unfunded commitments under lines of credit 27,575 26,269 Standby letters of credit 2,213 2,128 ------- ------- $41,299 $40,594 ======= ======= 14 Stockholders' Equity and Capital Ratios - --------------------------------------- At March 31, 2004, total stockholders' equity totaled $44.0 million, a net increase of $1,215,000 from December 31, 2003. The net increase in stockholders' equity was primarily due to $1,200,000 in net income, that was partially offset by $452,000 of dividends declared. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income increased $364,000 due to an increase in fair value of securities in the available for sale portfolio. This increase in fair value is the result of a change in interest rates, which may 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.

Earnings per share for the current period were $.46 basic and $.45 on a diluted basis, compared to $.43 basic and $.42 on a diluted basis for the three months ended March 31,2003. The resulting return on average assets and return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2004, were 1.26% and 11.08%, respectively compared to 1.23% and 11.12%, respectively for the similar period in 2003. The following table sets forth changes in net income: Dollars in thousands Three months ended ------------------------------- March 31,2004 to March 31, 2003 ------------------------------- Net income three months ended March 31, 2003 $1,110 Net interest income 155 Provision for loan losses 40 Net realized gains on sales of securities 35 Gains on sale of loans (83) All other income 99 Salaries and employee benefits (72) Losses on lease (90) residuals All other expenses 33 Income tax effect (27) ------ Net income three months ended March 31, 2004 $1,200 ====== Net Interest Income - ------------------- Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the three months ended March 31, 2004, totaled $3,589,000, an increase of $158,000 or 4.6%, over the similar period in 2003. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.65% and 3.95% increasing from 3.55% and 3.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Interest income (fte) totaled $4,845,000 at a yield of 5.34% compared to $5,078,000 and a yield of 5.83% in 2003. The decrease in yield was due in part, to lower short-term interest rates in 2004, with the prime rate at 4.00% and the Federal Funds rate at 1.00% as of March 31, 2004, declining from 4.25% and 1.25%, respectively, as of March 31, 2003. The decrease in rates, was partially offset by an increase in volume. Average loans increased $13.4 million, and represented 63.9% of total average earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to 62.7% for the similar period in the prior year. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 totaled $1,256,000 at a cost of 1.69% compared to $1,647,000 and 2.27% in the prior period. The cost of each type of deposit decreased in the lower interest rate environment in 2004. The cost of deposits was also favorably impacted by a change in the mix, with a higher percentage of lower costing transaction and savings accounts in 2004. For the three months ended, March 31, 2004, the average transaction and savings accounts to total average deposits was 60.0% compared to 55.4% for the similar period in 2003. 18 Other Income - ------------ Other income totaled $939,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $888,000 during the similar period in 2003. Net realized gains on sales of securities were $178,000 in 2004 compared to $143,000 in 2003, with the increase principally due to the sale of mortgage-backed securities in 2004. The Company also sold $3.6 million of 30 year fixed rate mortgages, for interest rate risk management, for a gain of $57,000, compared to $140,000 gains on sales of $3.9 million mortgages in 2003. Income from fiduciary activities increased $36,000 to $86,000 principally due to an estate fee received in the current period. Earnings on the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance (BOLI, included in other) was $79,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, increasing from $29,000 in the similar period in 2003. The increase was due to the purchase of an additional $2.5 million of BOLI, during the third quarter of 2003, the proceeds of which are used to fund employee benefit plans. Other Expense - ------------- Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 totaled $2,595,000, an increase of $129,000, or 5.2%, when compared to $2,466,000 for the similar period in 2003. Salary and benefits increased $72,000 to $1,302,000, principally due to increases in expense related to the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) of $29,000 and health care insurance, $13,000. The loss on lease residuals was $90,000 for the current period, with no expense incurred for the similar period in 2003. With 21 vehicles remaining in the portfolio, the company expects this expense to decrease throughout the year. The Company has a new branch facility under construction in the Marshalls Creek area of Monroe County. The staff was hired in April. The Company anticipates an increase in salary and occupancy expense as well as certain one-time marketing costs which may be incurred in the second and third quarter. Income Tax Expense - ------------------ Income tax expense totaled $452,000 for an effective tax rate of 27.4% for the period ending March 31, 2004 compared to $425,000 and 27.7% for the similar period in 2003. The effective tax rate is lower than the statutory rate due to tax-exempt interest income on certain investments and loans.
