     Where did 2003 go? The pace of business and the changes in banking continue
to accelerate as more opportunities and challenges seem to arise almost daily.
Our on-going efforts to broaden our market share, coupled with the massive
number of mortgage refinancings due to the low interest rate environment have
kept us extremely busy. As 2004 unfolds, we expect that the opportunities will
be different but equally exciting. We have two major initiatives under way that
will both come to fruition in 2004: the selection and conversion to a new core
processing system, which will include a document imaging process and other
technological enhancements; and our continued expansion into the Lycoming County
market.

     As the national economy continues its recovery from the brief recession of
2000-2001, we should see positive economic improvement in our market. As we plan
the Asset/Liability strategy for 2004, it has been tempting to look at how
interest rates have historically behaved in past presidential election years.
Typically, the Federal Reserve's interest rate strategy during such times has
been to keep interest rates unchanged or to lower rates if there did not appear
to be a risk of inflation. This recovery has been somewhat unusual in that
employment has not recovered as quickly as the economy, thus the inflationary
pressures that usually accompany a recovery have not emerged. In fact, the
Federal Reserve has been more concerned with deflation as some commodity prices
dropped. We expect that interest rates will remain stable, barring any major and
unexpected events, until the second half or last quarter of 2004.

     With interest rates at low levels and the business outlook improving, the
equity market delivered a double-digit return last year. The growth in the
equity market is expected to continue through 2004, which should be good news
for investors, investment management and pension funds. Citizens & Northern is
well positioned with our Trust and Financial Management Group and our
broker/dealer program to provide our clients with the advice and planning they
require to take advantage of the potential equity returns.

                             CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

     Over the past years, I have used this forum as a platform to present and
frame our corporate mission, vision and values (you will find these statements
expressed elsewhere in this edition of our Annual Highlights). The mission,
vision and values have not changed and continue to provide the focus and
direction for all that we do. We have made great progress over the past several
years as we inculcate a passion for delivering exceptional quality service on a
consistent and unwavering basis throughout our organization. As this process has
progressed, we have realized that in many cases we do deliver exceptional
quality service, but in other cases the level of delivery is only satisfactory.
Satisfactory and good is not good enough. The senior team of C&N has adopted a
doctrine of "Continuous Improvement," which requires that we identify where we
fall short and then develop plans and methods to raise the satisfactory to
exceptional.

     We believe that due to the successes of the past, we could all become
complacent and lose a sense of urgency to improve and seek even better results.
Complacency is the enemy of future success. At C&N complacency will not prevail
and we will not wait for something to break before we fix it. Thus Continuous
Improvement is a doctrine that will guide us all as we seek to build client
loyalty, not just client satisfaction.

                   OUR ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES. OUR COMMITMENT.

    Teamwork. Excellence. Responsibility and Accountability. Respect. Integrity.
                                                                   Client-Focus.

                            2003 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

     It is a pleasure to report the 2003 financial results of your company.
While the interest rate environment remained at historical lows, the earning
assets, loans and investments, continued to reprice. We did have some success in
reducing our costs of deposits and borrowings during the year, but that
repricing was to a lesser degree than the earning asset repricing. Thus the
interest rate spread, the difference between the yield on earning assets and the
cost of funds, decreased over the year. The nearly 16.5% increase in net loans
significantly offset the effects of the adverse change in interest rate spread.
Interest expense dropped over 10.5% as certificates of deposit and borrowings
matured and rolled over at lower rates. The result was a 2.3% increase in our
interest margin. The provision for loan losses was increased to keep up with the
growing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total
loans decreased to 1.16% due to our evaluation of loan quality and the increase
in loans outstanding. Other income was lower due in large part to a regulatory
required change in the credit insurance process related to residential real
estate loans. Net realized gains on securities were up by $1.9 million due to
the opportunity to harvest gains in equity securities that we believed were
fully valued. We may continue realizing gains in 2004, if bank equity prices
rise due to merger and consolidation speculation. Other expenses increased by
about $1.3 million due to the hiring of additional staff to support growth and
growth initiatives; a $232 thousand increase in pension expense; and increased
costs for employee health insurance. Even though income before tax increased by
6.3%, our income tax provision decreased 3.3% because of our substantial
portfolio of tax-free municipal bonds. Net income per share on a diluted basis
increased to $2.00 or about 8.7%. Dividends increased to 85 cents per share, up
9.9%. A 3 for 2 stock split in April, plus the increased dividends helped boost
the market value of our stock by almost 32% for the year.

     Total assets ended the year at $1.066 billion, an increase of 4.7%. Net
loans increased by 16.5%, while our available-for-sale securities decreased
about 5.7%. Deposits and repo sweeps increased a modest 3.1% as compared to the
double-digit increases the previous two years. We believe that the improvement
in the equity markets slowed deposit growth because some of our clients began
directing their funds to mutual funds and stocks instead of their money market
account or CDs. During the year a local school district reduced their deposits
with us by $14 million to finance planned construction costs. Without that
withdrawal, deposits would have grown by 5.2%. Annually, the FDIC gathers and
reports deposit information on all banks as of June 30th. The 2003 results
showed C&N growing its market share in Bradford County to nearly 42%, in Tioga
County to nearly 47.5% and in Sullivan County to 65.3%. C&N is the market leader
in those three counties by wide margins. In Lycoming County our market share
percentage is still in single-digits, but our strategy is to be in double digits
in less than 3 years.

     Trust Assets Under Management increased by 15.5% to $329.5 million buoyed
by positive results in the equity markets and by increases in the number of new
relationships. The new daily valuation employee retirement program that came
online during 2003 is proving very attractive to local employers. Our Trust and
Financial Management Group is the largest locally based department in our
region.

     Shareholder equity before net unrealized gains or losses increased to
$113.3 million, nearly 9.3%. There was little change in the net unrealized gains
from the end of 2002 to the end of 2003, because interest rates have remained
about the same. From a safety and soundness perspective, shareholder equity
excluding net unrealized gains and losses to average assets was up slightly to
10.73%. Our risk-based-capital ratio also increased slightly to 20.61%. Both
ratios are substantially above the "well-capitalized" thresholds of 5% and 10%
set by banking regulators.

                                    PRODUCTS

     We have made several enhancements and changes to many of our products and
services during the year, but two stand out as most significant. First, our
credit card program was enhanced this past year with a new "cash-back" program.
Under the program our credit card customers earn cash-back rewards on purchases.
The program is welcomed by our clients and has made our card competitive with
the national market. The Daily Valuation 401(k)/403(b) retirement plan program
has positioned us for significant growth in that area

                                   TEAMWORK.

                                     We all work together to achieve our vision.

of our Trust and Financial Management business. At the end of 2003, we signed on
a new employer with over 850 participants, which grew by over 90 more
participants as we delivered on our promise to provide the employees with the
education they need to save and plan for their retirements.

                                    PROJECTS

During the year, we completed two major building projects. The exterior of our
Elkland office received a major facelift, and we built a 5,000 square foot
addition to our Sayre Office. In August, as part of our initiative to expand our
Lycoming County presence, we purchased the former M&T Operations Center, which
is located in center city Williamsport on Market Street. Remodeling of the
two-story 41,000 square foot building began in September. The remodeling is
progressing in two phases: first, remodeling and construction of second floor
offices to house Trust and Financial Management and Commercial Lending
personnel; and second, the remodeling and construction of a full service banking
office on the first floor. In total, both phases should occupy less than 20,000
square feet, leaving room for future expansion or leasing.

     The selection of new banking software has been under way for several
months. We believe that we are down to the finalists and are asking them to
address some issues that must be in place before we make the final selection.
Our existing system is home grown and tailored to our needs with complete
integration of the processes. We are finding that the new software is not quite
as integrated and will need some modification. The new software does have many
cutting edge features that will position us to better serve both our employees
and our clients. We are endeavoring to make the conversion to new software as
seamless and transparent to our clients as possible. We will accomplish that
goal.

                                   OUR PEOPLE

     All of our successes are a direct result of the exceptional contributions
of the people of C&N. Without them and their commitment and loyalty to C&N, we
could not talk of Continuous Improvement nor could we confidently make plans to
enter a new market where the competition is strong, and opportunity abounds for
a financial institution with people who will deliver on the C&N promise of
exceptional client service.

     During the year, four long time employees retired. In May, Bonnie Bennett
of Dushore retired after 29 1/2 years. Bonnie was a fixture in Dushore and will
be missed. In December, we celebrated the retirements of Connie Depp after 29
years, Mary Rose Sacks after 27 years and Robert "Bob" Bolt after 38 years.
Connie Depp served us well as a Computer Operator. Mary Rose Sacks retired as
the Branch Manager of our Knoxville Office and Bob Bolt ended his career as our
Facilities Manager and Purchasing Officer. We extend our thanks for the great
service these four people rendered to C&N. We wish them many happy and
fulfilling years of retirement. They deserve every minute of it.

                                       YOU

     If you are a shareholder of Citizens & Northern, we hope that you are also
a client and user of our products and services. We succeed only if our clients
succeed in achieving their financial goals. We ask that you join in the success
by exploring the wealth of services and benefits we can deliver to you and your
family. We are proactively seeking your business and the business of all the
people in our market. At Citizens & Northern, it's all about Continuous
Improvement and the focus on serving our four constituencies: shareholders,
clients, communities and employees.

                                  EXCELLENCE.

                      Excellence is striving to be the best at everything we do.

(1) Includes available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, and
interest-bearing cash and due from banks.

(2) Financial ratios calculated based on average balance sheet data.

(3) Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") require that
available-for-sale securities be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains
and losses excluded from earnings and reported separately through
stockholders' equity, net of tax. Management believes there is an inherent
mismatch between the income statement and balance sheet related to unrealized
gains/losses that may create a material inconsistency in earnings-based ratios.
Further, the amount of unrealized gains/losses may vary widely from
period-to-period, depending on the financial markets as a whole and interest
rate movements. Therefore, management has provided these "non-GAAP" amounts and
ratios because we believe they provide meaningful information for evaluating the
Corporation's financial position and results of operations.
