Dividends for the two years remained the same at $1.35 per share. Capital increased to $62.4 million from $60.8 million at the prior year end. Although our total deposits declined from $407.9 million at year end 2003 to $395.3 million at year end 2004 and total assets declined from $584.6 million year end 2003 to $563.7 million for year end 2004, net loans outstanding increased from $236.9 million at year end 2003 to $276.6 million at year end 2004. Net loans outstanding still are $44 million below their peak in 2001. A 26% decline in net loans outstanding from December 31, 2001, to December 31, 2003, was brought about by the flood of refinancing of mortgages during that period and management's reluctance to portfolio these longer-term, low-rate fixed mortgages. During the first part of 2004, interest rates continued at historical lows. Beginning in July and continuing through the end of 2004, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds target rate from 1.00% to 2.25%. It is anticipated that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise rates during 2005. It is encouraging that our loans grew 17% for 2004 and we are focusing on ways to continue loan growth this year. The increase in short-term rates, later in 2004, in conjunction with the loan growth in 2004 resulted in increased net interest income, from which the bank receives most of its earnings. The effect of the rate changes and changes in net loans outstanding is more easily seen by referring to the following graphs of net interest income and prime rate in each quarter from the beginning of 2001 through the end of 2004. As you can see, net interest income is again increasing which should bode well for the future. With loans growing, we should be able to keep pace with increasing interest costs on deposits.

A recalculation of stock ownership showed us to be slightly less than the required level, but we nevertheless have been meeting the accelerated filing dates. Also, since we are not an accelerated filer, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act is not applicable to us until the Annual Report (Form 10K) to be filed for the 2005 year. During the summer of this year, I informed the Board of Directors, primarily due to my health (I had broken a hip and was still having problems after two major surgeries), that they needed to begin a search for my replacement a little earlier than originally anticipated. A search committee was established and a firm was hired to assist the Board. This matter should be resolved sometime this year. During the year, the following appointments and promotions were made: Beth S. Wolff was named Assistant Vice-President and Branch Manager of the Moscow Office, Frank Gardner was named Assistant Vice-President and Branch Manager of the East Scranton Office, Thomas J. Malinchak was named Assistant Vice-President and Branch Manager of the Mount Pocono Office, Deborah A. Wright was named Assistant Vice-President, Outside Sales, Robin L. Jenkins was named Branch Operations Manager of the Gouldsboro Office, Kathleen Griffiths was named Branch Operations Officer of the Abington Office and Tanya L. Frable was named Assistant Branch Operations Officer of the Gouldsboro Office. We are fortunate to have such a fine group of people assuming greater responsibilities in the Company. We think that our strong capital position, good earnings, advanced technology and solid customer base, both in our traditional geographic market and niche national markets, provide an excellent foundation for our continued success. In this endeavor you can help us by recommending us to your family, friends, and business organizations. This is your institution - let it serve you. Sincerely yours, Otto P.

The Company became a holding company upon the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Penn Security Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"), a state chartered bank, on December 31, 1997. The Company is subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank, as a state chartered financial institution, is subject to supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. The Company's principal banking office is located at 150 North Washington Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania, containing trust, investor services, marketing, audit, credit card, human resources, executive, data processing and central bookkeeping offices. There are eight additional offices. Through its banking subsidiary, the Company generates interest income from its outstanding loans receivable and its investment portfolio. Other income is generated primarily from merchant transaction fees, trust fees and service charges on deposit accounts. The Company's primary costs are interest paid on deposits and borrowings and general operating expenses. The Bank provides a variety of commercial and retail banking services to business and professional customers, as well as retail customers, on a personalized basis. The Bank's primary lending products are real estate, commercial and consumer loans. The Bank also offers ATM access, credit cards, active investment accounts, trust department services and other various lending, depository and related financial services. The Bank's primary deposit products are savings and demand deposit accounts and certificates of deposit. The Bank has a third party marketing agreement with Fiserv Investor Services, Inc. that allows the bank to offer a full range of securities, brokerage and annuity sales to its customers. The Investor Services division is located in the headquarters building and the services are offered throughout the entire branch system. The Company is not dependent upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss of one or more of which would have a material adverse effect on its operations. The operations and earnings of the Corporation are not materially affected by seasonal changes or by Federal, state or local environmental laws or regulations. COMPETITION The Bank operates in a competitive environment in which it must share its market with many local independent banks as well as several banks which are affiliates or branches of very large regional holding companies. The Bank encounters competition from diversified financial institutions, ranging in size from small banks to the nationwide banks operating in its region. The competition includes commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, other lending institutions and mortgage originators. The principal competitive factors among the Bank's competitors can be grouped into two categories: pricing and services. In the Bank's primary service area, interest rates on deposits, especially time deposits, and interest rates and fees charged to customers on loans are very competitive. From a service perspective, the Bank competes in areas such as convenience of location, types of services, service costs and banking hours. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2004, the Company employed 198 full-time equivalent employees. The employees of the Company are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management of the Company considers relations with its employees to be good. Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report 7 SUPERVISION AND REGULATION The Company is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and, as such, is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board" or "FRB"). The Company is required to file quarterly reports of its operations with the FRB. As a financial holding company, the Company is permitted to engage in banking-related activities as authorized by the Federal Reserve Board, directly or through subsidiaries or by acquiring companies already established in such activities subject to the FRB regulations relating to those activities. The Bank, as a Pennsylvania state-chartered financial institution, is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Banking and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), which insures the Bank's deposits to the maximum extent permitted by law.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. All information is presented in thousands of dollars, except as indicated. SUMMARY Net earnings for 2004 totalled $5,601, a decrease of 6.2% from the $5,971 earned in 2003, which was a decrease of 11.6% from the $6,753 earned in 2002. Net earnings per share were $2.61 in 2004, compared with $2.78 in 2003 and $3.14 in 2002. Net earnings for 2004 decreased from 2003 mainly due to the reduction of other operating income from the sale of fixed-rate loans which peaked during the third quarter of 2003. This was offset by a lower provision for loan losses and lower income taxes. The Company has experienced strong loan growth during the second half of 2004 which will provide higher net interest income. Net earnings for 2003 decreased from 2002 mainly due to the refinancing of the Company's high-yield residential mortgage loan portfolio into lower fixed-rate obligations, which then were sold in the secondary market, rather than held in the Company's portfolio. NET INCOME (in millions) YEAR - ------------------------------------------- $ 5,601 2004 5,971 2003 6,753 2002 5,622 2001 4,743 2000 The Company's return on average assets was .96 % in 2004 compared to 1.05% in 2003 and 1.37% in 2002. Return on average equity was 9.11 %, 9.87% and 11.79% in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. RETURN ON AVERAGE ASSETS YEAR - ------------------------------------------- .96% 2004 1.05% 2003 1.37% 2002 1.18% 2001 1.06% 2000 RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY YEAR - ------------------------------------------- 9.11% 2004 9.87% 2003 11.79% 2002 10.57% 2001 9.96% 2000 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report 11 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INTEREST INCOME The principal component of the Company's earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income was basically unchanged at $17.8 million. Loan income was lower overall for 2004 since the volume of new loans and rate increases occurred primarily in the second half of the year. Investment income increased due to purchases of tax-exempt securities at favorable tax-equivalent yields. Interest expense for 2004 remained low as to deposits, offset by an increase in long-term borrowing costs in 2004 versus 2003, since the long-term debt was not incurred until March 2003. Net interest income was $17.8 million in 2003, compared with $19.9 million in 2002, a decrease of 10.6%. The decrease in net interest income in 2003 resulted from the refinancing of the Company's high-yield residential mortgage loans into lower fixed-rate obligations, which were then sold in the secondary market. Also net interest income was negatively impacted by accelerated purchase premium write-downs from unprecedented pre-payments of the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio due to interest rates hovering at forty-five year lows. In 2003, the Company purchased a FHLMC (Freddie Mac) pool of new twenty year residential mortgages, with a 5 1/2% coupon and a face value of $100 million. The Company financed the purchase by borrowing $100 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank with maturities ranging from 5 to 20 years. The interest spread will vary depending on various interest rate scenarios which affect prepayment speeds. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, is referred to as net interest margin. The Company's net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 3.2% compared with 3.2% for the year ended December 31, 2003, and 4.2% for the year ended December 31, 2002. Interest income in 2004 totalled $25.4 million, compared to $26.0 million in 2003, a decrease of 2.3%. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.5% in 2004, compared to 4.8% in 2003. Average interest-earning assets increased in 2004 to $560.3 million from $548.2 million in 2003. Average loans, which are typically the Company's highest yielding earning assets, decreased $6.4 million in 2004, while investment securities increased on average by $51.9 million. Average loans represented 45.7% of 2004 average interest-earning assets, compared to 47.9% in 2003. Interest expense also decreased in 2004 to $7.6 million from $8.2 million in 2003, a decrease of $.6 million or 7.3%. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during 2004 was 1.7%, compared to 1.9%, a decrease of 10.5% from 2003. Interest income in 2003 totalled $26.0 million, compared to $27.9 million in 2002, a decrease of 6.8%. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.8% in 2003, compared to 5.9% in 2002. Average interest-earning assets increased in 2003 to $548.2 million from $472.8 million in 2002. Average loans, which are typically the Company's highest yielding earning assets, decreased $54.2 million in 2003, while investment securities increased on average by $103.4 million. Average loans represented 47.9% of 2003 average interest-earning assets, compared to 67.0% in 2002. Interest expense also increased in 2003 to $8.2 million from $8.0 million in 2002, an increase of $.2 million or 2.5%. The increase resulted from the Company entering into a leveraged transaction during the first quarter of 2003, which increased long-term interest expense. Despite this increase, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities during 2003 was 1.9%, compared to 2.2%, a decrease of 13.6% from 2002. The most significant impact on net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of and rates earned or paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The volume of earning dollars in loans and investments, compared to the volume of interest-bearing liabilities represented by deposits and borrowings, combined with the spread, produces the changes in net interest income between periods.

The Company believes that the judgments used in establishing the Allowance for Loan Losses are based on reliable information. In assessing the sufficiency of the Allowance for Loan Losses, management considers, among other things described above, how well prior estimates have related to actual experience. The Company has not found it necessary to change the allowance by material amounts, which would call into question the reliability of the judgments used in its calculation. There are also no particular risk elements in the local economy that put a group or category of loans at increased risk, however the Company has increased its portfolio of commercial loans, which typically bear a higher risk. These loans are typically secured by real estate to minimize this risk. The process of determining the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily judgmental and subject to changes in external conditions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that existing levels of the allowance will ultimately prove adequate to cover actual loan losses. OTHER INCOME The following table sets forth information by category of other income for the Company for the past three years: Years Ended December 31, 2004 2003 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Trust department income $ 1,353 $ 1,311 $ 1,266 Service charges on deposit accounts 1,056 1,133 1,123 Merchant transaction income 5,001 5,005 5,519 Other fee income 1,650 1,630 1,562 Other operating income 177 1,323 553 Realized gains on securities, net 357 341 1,009 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Total Other Income $ 9,594 $ 10,743 $ 11,032 ============================================================== Other income decreased $1,149 or 10.7% during 2004 to $9,594 from $10,743 for 2003. Service charge income decreased $77 or 6.8%. Other operating income decreased $1,146, mostly due to a reduction of $1,083 in gains on the sale of refinanced mortgage loans in the secondary market, which peaked during the third quarter of 2003, while interest rates were falling. Refinancing activity slowed as interest rates increased during 2004. Offsetting the decrease in other operating income were increases in trust income of $42 or 3.2% and brokerage income of $85 or 20.0%, mainly from increased business. Other income decreased $289 or 2.6% during 2003 to $10,743 from $11,032 for 2002. Merchant transaction income decreased $514 or 9.3%, due to a loss of service to a major merchant. Other fee income increased $68 or 4.4%, partly from increased fees from mortgage loans serviced for others and offset by a decrease in brokerage income due to the softness in the economy. Other operating income increased $770, mainly due to a $624 increase in gains on sale of low-yield, fixed-rate, non-portfolio mortgage loans. The Company also realized a security gain of $341 due to the sale of a $5 million, short-term U.S. Treasury and $10 million of short-term U.S. Agency securities, which were re-deployed into longer term U.S. Agency securities. OTHER EXPENSES The following table sets forth information by category of other expenses for the Company for the past three years: Years Ended December 31, 2004 2003 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Salaries and employee benefits $ 9,165 $ 9,010 $ 9,048 Occupancy expenses, net 1,255 1,388 1,384 Furniture and equipment expenses 1,136 1,175 1,208 Merchant transaction expenses 4,058 4,158 4,731 Other operating expenses 4,970 4,723 4,727 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Total Other Expenses $ 20,584 $ 20,454 $ 21,098 ============================================================== Other expenses increased $130 or 1% for 2004 to $20,584 from $20,454 for 2003. Salaries and employee benefits increased $155 to $9,165 for 2004 from $9,010 for 2003, primarily due to merit increases and health care costs. Occupancy expense decreased $133, largely from lower depreciation expense. Other operating expenses increased $247 or 5.2%, mainly due to increased professional expenses. Other expenses decreased $644 or 3.1% for 2003 to $20,454 from $21,098 for 2002. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $38 to $9,010 for 2003 from $9,048 for 2002, despite increased pension costs of $361. Merchant transaction expenses decreased $573 or 12.1%, the result of a loss of service to a major merchant. INCOME TAXES Federal income tax expense decreased $557 or 34.2% to $1,071 in 2004 compared to $1,628 in 2003, due to increased tax free income and decreased operating income. Federal income tax expense decreased $628 or 27.8% to $1,628 in 2003 compared to $2,256 in 2002, due to increased tax free income and decreased operating income. The Company's effective income tax rate for 2004, 2003 and 2002 was 16.1%, 21.4% and 25.0%, respectively. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. If current available information raises doubt as to the realization of deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on its ability to generate future profits. The Company employs budgeting and periodic reporting processes to continually monitor its progress. Historically, the Company has had sufficient profits for recovery of deferred tax benefits. For further discussion pertaining to Federal income taxes, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets decreased $20.9 million or 3.6% during 2004 to $563.7 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $584.6 million at December 31, 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2003, total assets increased $87.6 million to $584.6 million or a 17.6% increase over $497.0 million at December 31, 2002, largely due to a leveraged transaction during 2003 as described elsewhere in this report. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO The Company maintains a portfolio of investment securities to provide income and serve as a source of liquidity for its ongoing operations. The following table presents the carrying value, by security type, for the Company's investment portfolio: December 31, 2004 2003 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S.Treasury securities $ 5,077 $ 15,387 $ 36,456 U.S. Agency obligations 190,547 221,156 52,026 States & political subdivisions 60,789 50,228 49,294 Equity securities 6,265 6,354 1,356 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Investment Securities $ 262,678 $ 293,125 $ 139,132 =================================================================== Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report 15 LOAN PORTFOLIO Details regarding the Company's loan portfolio for the past five years are as follows: December 31, 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Real estate - construction and land development $ 6,805 $ 3,078 $ 5,031 $ 9,124 $ 9,321 Real estate mortgages 196,149 172,964 217,883 246,486 234,212 Commercial 41,560 30,056 30,077 30,001 21,566 Credit card and related plans 2,872 2,403 2,320 2,377 2,267 Installment 25,679 25,855 27,306 30,142 30,290 Obligations of states & political subdivisions 7,111 6,026 6,239 5,678 10,085 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans, net of unearned income 280,176 240,382 288,856 323,808 307,741 Less: Allowance for loan losses 3,600 3,500 3,347 3,600 3,100 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans, net $ 276,576 $ 236,882 $ 285,509 $ 320,208 $ 304,641 =========================================================================================== LOANS Total net loans increased $39.7 million to $276.6 million at December 31, 2004 from $236.9 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of 16.8%. This increase is mainly due to strong loan demand with a mix of fixed and variable rate loans. Total net loans decreased $48.6 million to $236.9 million at December 31, 2003 from $285.5 million at December 31, 2002, a decrease of 17.0%. The decrease is due to the refinancing of higher yielding residential portfolio mortgage loans with low fixed-rate obligations, which then were sold in the secondary market. NET LOANS (in millions) YEAR - ------------------------------------------- $ 276,576 2004 236,882 2003 285,509 2002 320,208 2001 304,641 2000 Loan Quality The lending activities of the Company are guided by the comprehensive lending policy established by the Board of Directors. Loans must meet criteria which include consideration of the character, capacity and capital of the borrower, collateral provided for the loan, and prevailing economic conditions. Regardless of credit standards, there is risk of loss inherent in every loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as change in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, industry experience, collateral value and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses is increased by periodic charges against earnings as a provision for loan losses, and decreased periodically by charge-offs of loans (or parts of loans) management has determined to be uncollectible, net of actual recoveries on loans previously charged-off. 16 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and other real estate owned. The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing assets as of the dates indicated: December 31, 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-accrual loans $ 1,991 $ 1,533 $ 2,245 $ 1,917 $ 1,210 Loans past due 90 days or more and accruing: Guaranteed student loans 253 169 394 304 313 Credit card and home equity loans 13 3 - 22 23 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total non-performing loans 2,257 1,705 2,639 2,243 1,546 Other real estate owned 176 121 59 143 201 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total non-performing assets $ 2,433 $ 1,826 $ 2,698 $ 2,386 $ 1,747 ============================================================================================= Loans are generally placed on a non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or when payment in full is not anticipated. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against current income. Loans are returned to accrual status when past due interest is collected and the collection of principal is probable. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to $1,991, $1,533 and $2,245 at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. If interest on those loans had been accrued, such income would have been $199, $198 and $171 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Interest income on those loans, which is recorded only when received, amounted to $16, $29 and $77 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans are on non-accrual status. The management process for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes reviewing each month's loan committee reports which list all loans that do not meet certain internally developed criteria as to collateral adequacy, payment performance, economic conditions and overall credit risk. These reports also address the current status and actions in process on each listed loan. From this information, adjustments are made to the allowance for loan losses. Such adjustments include both specific loss allocation amounts and general provisions by loan category based on present and past collection experience, nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. As of December 31, 2004, there are no significant loans as to which management has serious doubt about their collectibility. At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not have any loans specifically classified as impaired. Most of the Company's lending activity is with customers located in the Company's geographic market area and repayment thereof is affected by economic conditions in this market area.

Company deposits decreased $12.6 million to $395.3 million at December 31, 2004 from $407.9 million at December 31, 2003, a decrease of 3.1%, mainly due to a decrease in higher rate time deposits. Company deposits decreased $6.8 million to $407.9 million at December 31, 2003 from $414.7 million at December 31, 2002, a decrease of 1.6%, due to a decrease in time deposits. The maturities of time deposits of $100,000 or more are as follows: Three months or less $ 6,079 Over three months through six months 2,918 Over six months through twelve months 3,835 Over twelve months 10,947 -------- Total $ 23,779 ======== DEPOSITS (in millions) YEAR - -------------------------------------- $ 395,301 2004 407,944 2003 414,664 2002 406,531 2001 387,439 2000 DIVIDEND POLICY Payment of future dividends will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon the earnings of the Company, its financial condition, its capital requirements, its need for funds and other matters as the Board deems appropriate. Dividends on the Company common stock, if approved by the Board of Directors, are customarily paid on or about March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company's policy is to match its level of rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities within a limited range, thereby reducing its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. While no single measure can completely identify the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income, one gauge of interest rate-sensitivity is to measure, over a variety of time periods, the differences in the amounts of the Company's rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. These differences, or "gaps", provide an indication of the extent to which net interest income may be affected by future changes in interest rates. A positive gap exists when rate-sensitive assets exceed rate-sensitive liabilities and indicates that a greater volume of assets than liabilities will reprice during a given period. This mismatch may enhance earnings in a rising interest rate environment and may inhibit earnings when interest rates decline. Conversely, when rate-sensitive liabilities exceed rate-sensitive assets, referred to as a negative gap, it indicates that a greater volume of liabilities than assets may reprice during the period. In this case, a rising interest rate environment may inhibit earnings and declining interest rates may enhance earnings. However, because interest rates for different asset and liability products offered by financial institutions respond differently, the gap is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity. LIQUIDITY The objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds in such a way that the cash requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals are met in the most economical manner. Management monitors its liquidity position continuously in relation to trends of loans and deposits for short-term as well as long-term requirements. Liquid assets are monitored on a daily basis to assure maximum utilization. Management also manages its liquidity requirements by maintaining an adequate level of readily marketable assets and access to short-term funding sources. Management does not foresee any adverse trends in liquidity. 18 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report LIQUIDITY (continued) The Company remains in a highly liquid condition both in the short and long term. Sources of liquidity include the Company's U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agency bond portfolios, additional deposits, earnings, overnight loans to and from other companies (Federal Funds) and lines of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company is not a party to any commitments, guarantees or obligations that could materially affect its liquidity. The Company offers collateralized repurchase agreements, that have a one day maturity, as an alternative deposit option for its customers. The Company also has long-term debt outstanding to the FHLB, which was used to purchase a Freddie Mac pool of residential mortgages, as described earlier in this report. The Company continues to have $186,243 of available borrowing capacity with the FHLB. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, created under prevailing terms and collateral requirements such as commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows: 2004 2003 - ---------------------------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit: Fixed rate $ 21,152 $ 19,147 Variable rate $ 67,502 $ 52,188 Standby letters of credit $ 17,662 $ 15,363 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 expiration dates of one year or less or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. RELATED PARTIES The Company does not have any material transactions involving related persons or entities, other than traditional banking transactions, which are made on the same terms and conditions as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. The Bank has issued standby letters of credit for the accounts of related parties in the amount of $6,932. ASSETS (in millions) YEAR - ------------------------------------- $ 563,708 2004 584,590 2003 496,956 2002 482,551 2001 467,230 2000 CAPITAL RESOURCES A strong capital position is important to the continued profitability of the Company and promotes depositor and investor confidence. The Company's capital provides a basis for future growth and expansion and also provides additional protection against unexpected losses. Additional sources of capital would come from retained earnings from the operations of the Company and from the sale of additional common stock. Management has no plans to offer additional common stock at this time. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 20.03% at December 31, 2004. The Company's risk-based capital ratio is more than the 10.00% ratio that Federal regulators use as the "well capitalized" threshold. This is the current criteria which the FDIC uses in determining the lowest insurance rate for deposit insurance. The Company's risk-based capital ratio is more than double the 8.00% limit which determines whether a company is "adequately capitalized". Under these rules, the Company could significantly increase its assets and still comply with these capital requirements without the necessity of increasing its equity capital.

The Company currently does not enter into derivative financial instruments, which include futures, forwards, interest rate swaps, option contracts and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. However, the Company is party to traditional 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, financial guarantees and letters of credit. These traditional instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party up to a stipulated amount and with specified terms and conditions. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded as an asset or liability by the Company until the instrument is exercised. The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income. Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to identify and minimize the risks. Tools used by management include the standard GAP report and an interest rate shock simulation report. The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes. It appears the Company's market risk is reasonable at this time. The following table provides information about the Company's market rate sensitive instruments used for purposes other than trading that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For loans, securities, and liabilities with contractual maturities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturities as well as the Company's historical experience of the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment of residential and home equity loans and mortgage-backed securities. For core deposits (e.g., DDA, interest checking, savings and money market deposits) that have no contractual maturity, the table presents principal cash flows and, as applicable, related weighted-average interest rates based on the Company's historical experience, management's judgment, and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors. 20 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report MATURITIES AND SENSITIVITY OF MARKET RISK AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2004 The table below presents States and political subdivisions securities on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report 25 General Notes To Financial Statements 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Penseco Financial Services Corporation (Company) is a financial holding company, incorporated in 1997 under the laws of Pennsylvania. It is the parent company of Penn Security Bank and Trust Company (Bank), a state chartered bank. The Company operates from nine banking offices under a state bank charter and provides full banking services, including trust services, to individual and corporate customers primarily in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Company's primary deposit products are savings and demand deposit accounts and certificates of deposit. Its primary lending products are real estate, commercial and consumer loans. The Company's revenues are attributable to a single reportable segment, therefore segment information is not presented. The accounting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Financial Statements of the Company have been consolidated with those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Penn Security Bank and Trust Company, eliminating all intercompany items and transactions. The Statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. All information is presented in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. EMERGING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51 (FIN 46). This interpretation provides guidance for identifying a controlling interest in a variable interest entity established by means other than voting interests. FIN 46 also requires consolidation of a variable interest entity (VIE) by an enterprise that holds such a controlling interest. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB 51 (FIN 46(R)). This revision to FIN 46 primarily classifies the required accounting for VIEs and included a deferral of the effective date and provisions for additional scope exceptions for certain types of variable interests. Application of FIN 46 (R) was required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in variable interest entities or potential variable interest entities commonly referred to as special - purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities (other than small business users) for all other types of entities was required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46 (R) did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004) is a revision of FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. The Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, except in certain circumstances. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company has not issued any shared-based payments that will be required to be accounted under Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004). In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets--An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. Statement No. 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29 and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. Statement No. 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not been a party to any nonmonetary exchanges that would be impacted by the adoption of Statement No. 153. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Investments in securities are classified in two categories and accounted for as follows: Securities Held-to-Maturity Bonds, notes, debentures and mortgage-backed securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed on the straight-line basis, which approximates the interest method, over the remaining period to maturity. Securities Available-for-Sale Bonds, notes, debentures, mortgage-backed securities and certain equity securities not classified as securities to be held to maturity are carried at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. 26 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities is done based on management's estimate of the lives of the securities, adjusted, when necessary, for advanced prepayments in excess of those estimates. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the specific identification method and are reported as a separate component of other income in the Statements of Income. LOANS AND PROVISION (ALLOWANCE) FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of any unearned income, deferred loan fees and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. Loans are generally placed on a non-accrual status when principal or interest is past due 90 days or when payment in full is not anticipated. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against current income. Loans are returned to accrual status when past due interest is collected and the collection of principal is probable. The provision for loan losses is based on past loan loss experience, management's evaluation of the potential loss in the current loan portfolio under current economic conditions and such other factors as, in management's best judgement, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. The annual provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is that amount which is sufficient to bring the balance of the allowance for possible loan losses to an adequate level to absorb anticipated losses. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provision for depreciation and amortization, computed principally on the straight-line method, is charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense as incurred. LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of the assets might not be recoverable, as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). LOAN SERVICING The Company generally retains the right to service mortgage loans sold to others. The cost allocated to the mortgage servicing rights retained has been recognized as a separate asset and is being amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest and current expected future prepayment rates. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Company stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the product type, interest rate and term of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum exceed the fair value. ADVERTISING EXPENSES Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, amounted to $476, $473 and $650, respectively. INCOME TAXES Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) as well as deferred taxes on temporary differences, between the amount of taxable income and pre-tax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the Financial Statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the Financial Statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. PENSION EXPENSE Pension expense has been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions (SFAS 87). POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS EXPENSE Postretirement benefits expense has been determined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions (SFAS 106). CASH FLOWS For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, due from banks, interest bearing balances with banks and Federal funds sold for a one-day period. The Company paid interest and income taxes during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 as follows: 2004 2003 2002 - ----------------------------------------------------- Income taxes paid $ 802 $ 1,698 $ 2,636 Interest paid $ 7,851 $ 8,387 $ 8,271 Non-cash transactions during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, comprised entirely of the net acquisition of real estate in the settlement of loans, amounted to $177, $474 and $257, respectively. TRUST ASSETS AND INCOME Assets held by the Company in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers are not included in the Financial Statements since such items are not assets of the Company. Trust income is reported on the accrual basis of accounting. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year (2,148,000) as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128). A calculation of diluted earnings per share is not applicable to the Company. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report 27 2 CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS Cash and due from banks are summarized as follows: December 31, 2004 2003 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Cash items in process of collection $ 2,951 $ 5,452 Non-interest bearing balances 1,952 1,371 Cash on hand 2,860 3,239 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 7,763 $ 10,062 =========================================================== The Company may, from time to time, maintain bank balances with other financial institutions in excess of $100,000 each.

The stock is stated at par value as there is no readily determinable fair value. A summary of transactions involving available-for-sale debt securities in 2004, 2003 and 2002 are as follows: December 31, 2004 2003 2002 - ------------------------------------------------------------ Proceeds from sales $ 18,380 $ 15,640 $ 13,832 Gross realized gains 385 341 1,009 Gross realized losses 28 - - Held-to-Maturity Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair 2004 Cost Gains Losses Value - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage-backed securities $ 66,019 $ 10 $ 357 $ 65,672 States & political subdivisions 29,249 2,870 - 32,119 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Held-to- Maturity $ 95,268 $ 2,880 $ 357 $ 97,791 =========================================================================== Held-to-Maturity Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair 2003 Cost Gains Losses Value - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage-backed securities $ 84,138 $ 8 $ 580 $ 83,566 States & political subdivisions 29,387 2,719 - 32,106 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Held-to- Maturity $ 113,525 $ 2,727 $ 580 $ 115,672 =========================================================================== Investment securities with amortized costs and fair values of $104,700 and $107,574 at December 31, 2004 and $81,461 and $85,653 at December 31, 2003, were pledged to secure trust funds, public deposits and for other purposes as required by law. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at December 31, 2004 by contractual maturity, are shown in the following table. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

U.S. Agency Securities The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in these obligations were caused by recent interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2004. Mortgage-Backed Securities The unrealized losses on the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities were caused by recent interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Accordingly, it is expected that these securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company's investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2004. State and Political Subdivisions The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in these obligations were caused by recent interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the Company has the ability to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2004.

A summary of long-term debt, including amortizing principal and interest payments, at December 31, 2004 is as follows: Monthly Fixed Maturity Installment Rate Date Balance - ------------------------------------------------ $ 161 2.73% 03/13/08 $ 5,989 253 3.22% 03/13/10 14,643 430 3.74% 03/13/13 36,585 186 4.69% 03/13/23 27,403 - ------------------------------------------------ Total $ 84,620 ================================================ The Company has agreed to maintain sufficient qualifying collateral to fully secure the above borrowings. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2004 are as follows: 2005 $9,220, 2006 $9,547, 2007 $9,887, 2008 $8,780, 2009 $8,612 and thereafter $38,574 for a total of $84,620. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company provides an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), a Retirement Profit Sharing Plan, an Employees' Pension Plan, as well as an unfunded supplemental executive pension plan and a Postretirement Life Insurance Plan, all non-contributory, covering all eligible employees. Under the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), amounts voted by the Board of Directors are paid into the ESOP and each employee is credited with a share in proportion to their annual compensation. All contributions to the ESOP are invested in or will be invested primarily in Company stock. Distribution of a participant's ESOP account occurs upon retirement, death or termination in accordance with the plan provisions. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the ESOP held 89,316 and 89,204 shares, respectively of the Company's stock, all of which were acquired as described above and allocated to specific participant accounts. These shares are treated the same for dividend purposes and earnings per share calculations as are any other outstanding shares of the Company's stock. The Company contributed $0, $0 and $140 to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Under the Retirement Profit Sharing Plan, amounts voted by the Board of Directors are paid into a fund and each employee is credited with a share in proportion to their annual compensation. Upon retirement, death or termination, each employee is paid the total amount of their credits in the fund in one of a number of optional ways in accordance with the plan provisions. The Company contributed $60, $70 and $0 to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Under the Pension Plan, amounts computed on an actuarial basis are paid by the Company into a trust fund. Provision is made for fixed benefits payable for life upon retirement at the age of 65, based on length of service and compensation levels as defined in the plan. Plan assets of the trust fund are invested and administered by the Trust Department of Penn Security Bank and Trust Company. The unfunded supplemental executive pension plan provides certain officers with additional retirement benefits to replace benefits lost due to limits imposed on qualified plans by Federal tax law. The postretirement life insurance plan is an unfunded, non-vesting defined benefit plan. The plan is non-contributory and provides for a reducing level of term life insurance coverage following retirement. For the unfunded plans above, amounts calculated on an actuarial basis are recorded as a liability.

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations were as follows: Pension Benefits Other Benefits ---------------- -------------- December 31, 2004 2003 2004 2003 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Discount rate 6.00% 6.25% 6.00% 6.25% Rate of compensation increase 4.00% 4.25% 4.50% 4.50% Pension Benefits Other Benefits ---------------- -------------- Years Ended December 31, 2004 2003 2004 2003 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Discount rate 6.00% 6.25% 6.00% 6.25% Expected return on plan assets 8.00% 8.00% - - Rate of compensation increase 4.00% 4.25% 4.50% 4.50% The expected long-term return on plan assets was determined using average historical returns of the Company's plan assets. The rate was reduced during 2003 due to the reduction in returns for the prior year. The Company's pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2004 and 2003 by asset category are as follows: Plan Assets at December 31, --------------------------- 2004 2003 - --------------------------------------------------------- Asset Category - -------------- Equity securities 54.4% 52.4% Corporate bonds 35.1% 33.3% U.S. Government securities 8.1% 13.1% Cash and cash equivalents 2.4% 1.2% - --------------------------------------------------------- 100.0% 100.0% ========================================================= The Company investment policies and strategies include: 1.) The Trust and Investment Division's equity philosophy is Large-Cap Core with a value bias. We invest in individual high-grade common stocks that are selected from our approved list. 2.) Diversification is maintained by having no more than 20% in any industry sector and no individual equity representing more than 10% of the portfolio. 3.) The fixed income style is conservative but also responsive to the various needs of our individual clients. For our "Fixed Income" securities, we buy U.S. Government bonds and Agencies or high-grade Corporate rated "A" or better. The Company targets the following allocation percentages: cash equivalents 10%, fixed income 40% and equities 50%. There is no Company stock included in equity securities at December 31, 2004 or 2003. Contributions - ------------- The Company expects to contribute $375 to its pension plan and $13 to its other postretirement plan in 2005.

Management is not aware of any evidence that would preclude the realization of the benefit in the future and, accordingly, has not established a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Accumulated other comprehensive income of $704, $1,836 and $3,075 at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively consisted entirely of unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax. A reconciliation of other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows: Tax Before-Tax (Expense) Net-of-Tax 2004 Amount Benefit Amount - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities: Unrealized losses arising during the year $(1,357) $ 461 $ (896) Less: Reclassification adjustment for gains realized in income 357 (121) 236 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized losses $(1,714) $ 582 $(1,132) ============================================================================== Tax Before-Tax (Expense) Net-of-Tax 2003 Amount Benefit Amount - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities: Unrealized losses arising during the year $(1,536) $ 522 $(1,014) Less: Reclassification adjustment for gains realized in income 341 (116) 225 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net unrealized losses $(1,877) $ 638 $(1,239) ============================================================================== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, created under prevailing terms and collateral requirements such as commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and letters of credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements. The Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows: 2004 2003 - -------------------------------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit: Fixed rate $ 21,152 $ 19,147 Variable rate $ 67,502 $ 52,188 Standby letters of credit $ 17,662 $ 15,363 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 expiration dates of one year or less or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Various actions and proceedings are presently pending to which the Company is a party. Management is of the opinion that the aggregate liabilities, if any, arising from such actions would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report 33 17 FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE GENERAL Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107), requires the disclosure of the estimated fair value of on and off-balance sheet financial instruments. VALUATION METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS Estimated fair values have been determined using the best available data, an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate the carrying amount balances. Financial instruments actively traded in a secondary market have been valued using quoted available market prices. Those with stated maturities have been valued using a present value discounted cash flow with a discount rate approximating current market for similar assets and liabilities. Those liabilities with no stated maturities have an estimated fair value equal to both the amount payable on demand and the carrying amount balance. The net loan portfolio has been valued using a present value discounted cash flow. The discount rate used in these calculations is the current loan rate adjusted for non-interest operating costs, credit loss and assumed prepayment risk. Off balance sheet carrying amounts and fair value of letters of credit represent the deferred income fees arising from those unrecognized financial instruments. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on these estimated fair values. All assets and liabilities which are not considered financial instruments have not been valued differently than has been customary with historical cost accounting.

The Company also leases space at several locations which are being used as remote banking facilities. Rental expense was $90 in 2004, $86 in 2003 and $80 in 2002. All leases contain renewal options. The Mount Pocono and the Meadow Avenue leases contain the right of first refusal for the purchase of the properties and provisions for annual rent adjustments based upon the Consumer Price Index. Future minimum rental commitments under these leases at December 31, 2004 are as follows: Mount Meadow ATM Pocono Avenue Sites Total - ----------------------------------------------------------- 2005 $ 50 $ 20 $ 16 $ 86 2006 50 14 6 70 2007 50 - - 50 2008 51 - - 51 2009 51 - - 51 2010 to 2012 72 - - 72 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Total minimum payments required $ 324 $ 34 $ 22 $ 380 =========================================================== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19 LOANS TO DIRECTORS, PRINCIPAL OFFICERS AND RELATED PARTIES The Company has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, principal officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties), on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others. A summary of loans to directors, principal officers and related parties is as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2004 2003 - ------------------------------------------------- Beginning Balance $ 5,265 $ 4,483 Additions 4,899 2,065 Collections (532) (1,283) - ------------------------------------------------- Ending Balance $ 9,632 $ 5,265 ================================================= In addition to the loan amounts shown above, the Bank has issued a standby letters of credit for the accounts of related parties in the amount of $6,932. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 REGULATORY MATTERS The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the Capital Adequacy table on the following page) of Tier I and Total Capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I Capital to average assets (Leverage ratio). The table also presents the Company's actual capital amounts and ratios. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are substantially identical to the Company's. Management believes, as of December 31, 2004, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) categorized the Company as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized", the Company must maintain minimum Tier I Capital, Total Capital and Leverage ratios as set forth in the Capital Adequacy table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company's categorization by the FDIC. The Company and Bank are also subject to minimum capital levels which could limit the payment of dividends, although the Company and Bank currently have capital levels which are in excess of minimum capital level ratios required. The Pennsylvania Banking Code restricts capital funds available for payment of dividends to the Retained Earnings of the Bank. Accordingly, at December 31, 2004, the balances in the Capital Stock and Surplus accounts totalling $10,840 are unavailable for dividends. In addition, the Bank is subject to restrictions imposed by Federal law on certain transactions with the Company's affiliates. These transactions include extensions of credit, purchases of or investments in stock issued by the affiliate, purchases of assets subject to certain exceptions, acceptance of securities issued by an affiliate as collateral for loans, and the issuance of guarantees, acceptances, and letters of credit on behalf of affiliates. These restrictions prevent the Company's affiliates from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by obligations of designated amounts. Further, the aggregate of such transactions by the Bank with a single affiliate is limited in amount to 10 percent of the Bank's Capital Stock and Surplus, and the aggregate of such transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20 percent of the Bank's Capital Stock and Surplus.

Merkel, CPA Josephn J. Quinn, CPA, CVA John H. Marx, Jr., CPA Daniel J. Gerrity, CPA Mary Ann E. Novak, CPA McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates Certified Public Accountants & Consultants Report of Independent Registeres Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Penseco Financial Services Corporation Scranton, Pennsylvania We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Penseco Financial Services Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by managements, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Penseco Financial Services Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ McGrail, Merkel, Quinn & Associates Scranton, Pennsylvania March 4, 2005 RSM McGladrey Network An Indepently Owned Member Clay Avenue Professional Plaza, 1173 Clay Avenue, Scranton, PA 18510 570 961-0345 Fax: 570 961-8650 www.mmq.com Penseco Financial Services Corporation / 2004 Annual Report 37 ITEM 9 Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure There were no changes in or disagreements with accountants on matters of accounting principles or practices or financial statement disclosures in 2004. ITEM 9A Controls and Procedures Based on the Company's principal executive officer, Otto P. Robinson, Jr., President and the Company's principal financial officer, Patrick Scanlon, Controller, evaluations of the Company's Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of February 17, 2005 (evaluation date), they have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls are effective, reasonably ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared, and identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal controls which could adversely affect the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data. Based on information available to them, they are not aware of significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal control system. Based on information available to them, they are not aware of any significant changes made in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to February 17, 2005 (evaluation date) and prior to the date of their certifications. Based on information available to them, they are not aware of any fraud that involves management or other employees of the Company. Despite these and other controls and procedures, the Company's two hundred or so employees process over 10 million financial transactions every year. The Company's computer systems consist of some 17 million lines of code used in the processing of this financial information. Financial accounting rules encompass thousands of pages of instructions and contain many confusing and "gray" areas. From time to time honest errors in the entry, processing, or reporting of this information are discovered or a dishonest or disloyal employee surfaces. Fortunately, in the past any such errors or discoveries have not been material and therefore we have never had to restate the Company's financial results. The probability is that we won't in the future, but the possibility does exist and the certifications marked as exhibits 31 and 32 are made subject to these contingencies. ITEM 9B Other Information There are no items required to be reported. PART III -------- ITEM 10 Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant CODE OF ETHICS -------------- The Company has had for many years a Code of Ethics applicable to all employees including the Company's principal Executive Officer and principal Financial Officer (Controller). The purpose of the Code is to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosures of financial information, compliance with laws and regulations and accountability for actions. A copy of the Code of Ethics may be obtained, without charge, by contacting: Patrick Scanlon, Controller Penseco Financial Services Corporation 150 North Washington Avenue Scranton, PA 18503-1848 1-800-327-0394 AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT -------------------------------- The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Company to disclose whether or not its Audit Committee has, as one of its members, an "Audit Committee Financial Expert", as that term is defined by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Board of Directors has elected not to designate any member as an "Audit Committee Financial Expert". The audit program at our organization has always been strong. We have our own, full-time, Internal Auditor reporting to the Audit Committee who has a staff of four full-time assistants. Our financial statements are audited by an independent public accounting firm, which has received approval from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board to audit financial reports of SEC reporting companies. In addition to that, since we are a banking company, our bank, Penn Security Bank & Trust Company, is examined every year on an alternate basis by either the Pennsylvania Department of Banking or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and our parent holding company, Penseco Financial Services Corporation, is examined yearly by the Federal Reserve. Our four member Audit Committee includes three members with substantial education and experience in accounting and financial management, of which, two are Chief Executive Officers of Companies and one is a former Executive Vice-President of our organization. The Audit Committee, as well as the entire Board of Directors, are ethical people who will act responsibly if anything is wrong. We think that our Committee members acting together have the expertise, information and advice to assure that our financial statements are fairly presented.
