     It is the policy of Juniata Valley that its employees, directors, and

organization.

     A. GENERAL STANDARDS OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOR

the Chairman of the Board any material transaction or relationship that could be

communication and full disclosure standards and processes.

retention of accounting records and information as required by applicable law,

the CEO, to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. There
shall be no retaliation against a senior financial officer for making such a
report.

     To the extent required by SEC regulations, changes to and waivers of the
Code will be reported to Juniata Valley's shareholders.

     Violations of the Code will result in appropriate disciplinary action, as
determined by the CEO and the Audit Committee of the Board (except for
violations by the CEO, for which the Audit Committee shall determine the
appropriate disciplinary action). Such action may include dismissal from
employment, fines or a suspension of the officer's duties, or any combination
thereof.

     E. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER COMPANY POLICIES
        --------------------------------------

of interest policy which are applicable to all employees, including senior
