PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
A. General Development of Business and History
On January 7, 1983, Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the
Company) was incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a bank holding
company. The Jersey Shore State Bank (the "Bank")
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and
each outstanding share of Bank common stock was
converted into one share of Company common stock.
This transaction was approved by the shareholders of
the Bank on April 11, 1983 and was officially
effective on July 12, 1983. The Company's business
has consisted primarily of managing and supervising
the Bank, and its principal source of income has been
dividends paid by the Bank. The Company's two other
wholly-owned subsidiaries are Woods Real Estate
Development Company and Woods Investment Company, Inc.
The Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking
and the taking of time and regular savings and demand
deposits, the making of commercial and consumer loans
and mortgage loans, and safe deposit services.
Auxiliary services, such as cash management, are
provided to commercial customers. The Bank operates
full banking services with ten branch offices and a
Mortgage/Loan Center in Northcentral Pennsylvania.
Neither the Company nor the Bank anticipates that
compliance with environmental laws and regulations
will have any material effect on capital expenditures,
earnings, or on its competitive position. The Bank is
not dependent on a single customer or a few customers,
the loss of whom would have a material effect on the
business of the Bank.
The Bank employed approximately 158 persons as of
December 31, 1999. The Company does not have any
employees. The principal officers of the Bank also
serve as officers of the Company.
B. Regulation and Supervision
The Company is also subject to the provisions of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the
"BHCA") and to supervision and examination by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"FRB"). The Bank is subject to the supervision and
examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"), as its primary federal
regulator and as the insurer of the Bank's deposits.
The Bank is also regulated and examined by the
Pennsylvania Department of Banking (the Department).
The FRB has issued regulations under the BHCA that
require a bank holding company to serve as a source of
financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary
banks. As a result, the FRB, pursuant to such
regulations, may require the Company to stand ready to
use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to
the Bank during periods of financial stress or
adversity. The BHCA requires the Company to secure
the prior approval of the FRB before it can acquire
all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or
acquire ownership or control of 5% or more of any
voting shares of any bank. Such a transaction would
also require approval of the Department.
A bank holding company is prohibited under the BHCA
from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect
control of, more than 5% of the voting shares of any
company engaged in non banking activities unless the
FRB, by order or regulation, has found such activities
to be so closely related to banking or managing or
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
Under the BHCA, the FRB has the authority to require a
bank holding company to terminate any activity or
relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than
a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon FRB's
determination that such activity or control
constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness
and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank
holding company.
Bank holding companies are required to comply with the
FRB's risk-based capital guidelines. The risk-based
capital rules are designed to make regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk
profiles among banks and bank holding companies and to
minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.
Currently, the required minimum ratio of total capital
to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance
sheet activities, such as standby letters of credit)
is 8%. At least half of the total capital is required
to be Tier 1 capital, consisting principally of common
shareholders' equity, less certain intangible assets.
The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist of
certain preferred stock, a limited amount of
subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments
and other debt securities, 45% of net unrealized gains
on marketable equity securities and a limited amount
of the general loan loss allowance. The risk-based
capital guidelines are required to take adequate
account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit
risk, and risks of nontraditional activities.
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the FRB
requires each bank holding company to comply with the leverage
ratio, under which the bank holding company must maintain a
minimum level of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated
assets of 3% for those bank holding companies which have the
highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating
or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank
holding companies are expected to maintain a leverage ratio of at
least 4% to 5%. The Bank is subject to similar capital
requirements adopted by the FDIC.
C. Regulation of the Bank
From time to time, various types of federal and state
legislation have been proposed that could result in
additional regulation of, and restrictions of, the
business of the Bank. It cannot be predicted whether
any such legislation will be adopted or how such
legislation would affect the business of the Bank. As
a consequence of the extensive regulation of
commercial banking activities in the United States,
the Bank's business is particularly susceptible to
being affected by federal legislation and regulations
that may increase the costs of doing business.
Prompt Corrective Action - The FDIC has specified the
levels at which an insured institution will be
considered "well- capitalized," "adequately
capitalized," "undercapitalized," and "critically
undercapitalized." In the event an institution's
capital deteriorates to the "undercapitalized"
category or below, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act
(the "FDIA") and FDIC regulations prescribe an
increasing amount of regulatory intervention,
including: (1) the institution of a capital
restoration plan by a bank and a guarantee of the plan
by a parent institution; and (2) the placement of a
hold on increases in assets, number of branches or
lines of business. If capital has reached the
significantly or critically undercapitalized levels,
further material restrictions can be imposed,
including restrictions on interest payable on
accounts, dismissal of management and (in critically
undercapitalized situations) appointment of a
receiver. For well-capitalized institutions, the FDIA
provides authority for regulatory intervention where
the institution is deemed to be engaging in unsafe or
unsound practices or receives a less than satisfactory
examination report rating for asset quality,
management, earnings or liquidity.
Deposit Insurance - There are two deposit insurance
funds administered by the FDIC - the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF"). The Bank's deposits are
insured under the BIF; however, the deposits assumed
by the Bank in connection with the merger of Lock
Haven Savings Bank are treated and assessed as
SAIF-insured deposits. The FDIC has implemented a
risk-related premium schedule for all insured
depository institutions that results in the assessment
of premiums based on capital and supervisory measure.
Under the risk-related premium schedule, the FDIC
assigns, on a semiannual basis, each institution to
one of three capital groups (well-capitalized,
adequately capitalized or undercapitalized) and
further assigns such institution to one of three
subgroups within a capital group. The institution's
subgroup assignment is based upon the FDIC's judgment
of the institution's strength in light of supervisory
evaluations, including examination reports,
statistical analyses and other information relevant to
gauging the risk posed by the institution. Only
institutions with a total capital to risk-adjusted
assets ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 capital to
risk-adjusted assets ratio of 6.0% or greater and a
Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, are assigned
to the well-capitalized group. As of December 31,
1999, the Bank's ratios were well above required
minimum ratios.
Both the BIF and SAIF are presently fully funded at
more than the minimum amount required by law.
Accordingly, the BIF and SAIF assessment rates range
from zero for those institutions with the least risk,
to $0.27 for every $100 of insured deposits for
institutions deemed to have the highest risk. The
Bank is in the category of institutions that presently
pay nothing for deposit insurance. The FDIC adjusts
the rates every six months.
While the Bank presently pays no premiums for deposit
insurance, it is subject to assessments to pay the
interest on Financing Corporation ("FICO") bonds.
FICO was created by Congress to issue bonds to finance
the resolution of failed thrift institutions. Prior
to 1997, only thrift institutions were subject to
assessments to raise funds to pay the FICO bonds.
Commercial banks are subject to 1/5 of the assessment
to which thrifts are subject for FICO bond payments
through 1999. Beginning in 2000, commercial banks and
thrifts will be subject to the same assessment for
FICO bonds. The annual FICO assessment for the Bank
(and all commercial banks) is $.0212 for each $100 of
BIF deposits.
New Banking Legislation
Landmark legislation in the financial services area
was signed into law by the President on November 12,
1999. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act dramatically changes
certain banking laws that have been in effect since
the early part of the 20th Century. The most radical
changes are that the separation between banking and
the securities businesses mandated by the
Glass-Steagall Act has now been removed, and the
provisions of any state law that prohibits affiliation
between banking and insurance entities have been
preempted. Accordingly, the new legislation now
permits firms engaged in underwriting and dealing in
securities, and insurance companies, to own banking
entities, and permits bank holding companies (and in
some cases, banks) to own securities firms and
insurance companies. The provisions of federal law
that preclude banking entities from engaging in
non-financially related activity, such as
manufacturing, have not been changed. For example, a
manufacturing company cannot own a bank and become a
bank holding company, and a bank holding company
cannot own a subsidiary that is not engaged in
financial activities, as defined by the regulators.
The new legislation creates a new category of bank
holding company called a financial holding company.
In order to avail itself of the expanded financial
activities permitted under the new law, a bank holding
company must notify the Federal Reserve that it elects
to be a financial holding company. A bank holding
company can make this election if it, and all its bank
subsidiaries, are well capitalized, well managed, and
have at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment
Act rating, each in accordance with the definitions
percribed by the Federal Reserve and the regulators of
the subsidiary banks. Once a bank holding company
makes such an election, and provided that the Federal
Reserve does not object to such election by such bank
holding company, the financial holding company may
engage in financial activities (i.e. securities
underwriting, insurance underwriting, and certain
other activities that are financial in nature as to be
determined by the Federal Reserve) by simply giving a
notice to the Federal Reserve within thirty days after
beginning such business or acquiring a company engaged
in such business. This makes the regulatory approval
process to engage in financial activities much more
streamlined than it was under prior law.
The Company believes it qualifies to become a
financial holding company, but has not yet determined
whether or not it will file to become treated as one.
It is too early to tell what effect the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act may have on the Company and the
Bank. The intent and scope of the act is posititve for
the financial industry, and is an attempt to modernize
federal banking laws and make U.S. institutions
competitive with those from other countries. While the
legislation makes significant changes in U.S. banking
law, such changes may not directly affect the
Company's business unless it decides to avail itself
of new opportunities available under the new law. The
Company does not expect any of the provisions of the
Act to have a material adverse effect on our existing
operations, or to significantly increase its costs.
Separately from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Congress
is often considering some financial industry
legislation. The Company cannot predict how any new
legislation, or new rules adopted by the federal
banking agencies, may affect its business in the
future.
Environmental Laws
Environmentally related hazards have become a source
of high risk and potential liability for financial
institutions relating to their loans. Environmentally
contaminated properties owned by an institution's
borrowers may result in a drastic reduction in the
value of the collateral securing the institution's
loans to such borrowers, high environmental clean up
costs to the borrower affecting its ability to repay
the loans, the subordination of any lien in favor of
the institution to a state or federal lien securing
clean up costs, and liability to the institution for
clean up costs if it forecloses on the contaminated
property or becomes involved in the management of the
borrower. The Company is not aware of any borrower
who is currently subject to any environmental
investigation or clean up proceeding which is likely
to have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
Effect of Government Monetary Policies
The earnings of the Company are and will be affected
by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and
fiscal policies of the United States Government and
its agencies.
The monetary policies of the FRB have had, and will
likely continue to have, an important impact on the
operating results of commercial banks through its
power to implement national monetary policy in order,
among other things, to curb inflation or combat a
recession. The FRB has a major effect upon the levels
of bank loans, investments and deposits through its
open market operations in the United States Government
securities and through its regulation of, among other
things, the discount rate on borrowing of member banks
and the reserve requirements against member bank
deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature
and impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal
policies.
DESCRIPTION OF BANK
a. History and Business
Jersey Shore State Bank (Bank) was incorporated under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a
state bank in 1934 and became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company on July 12, 1983.
As of December 31, 1999, the Bank had total assets of
$362,286,000; total shareholders' equity of
$33,261,000 and total deposits of $255,668,000. The
Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation for the maximum amount provided
under current law.
Jersey Shore State Bank engages in business as a
commercial bank, doing business at several locations
in Lycoming, Clinton and Centre Counties,
Pennsylvania.
Services offered by the Bank include accepting time,
demand and savings deposits including Super NOW
accounts, regular savings accounts, money market
certificates, investment certificates, fixed rate
certificates of deposit and club accounts. Its
services also include making secured and unsecured
commercial and consumer loans, financing commercial
transactions, making construction and mortgage loans
and the renting of safe deposit facilities.
Additional services include making residential
mortgage loans, revolving credit loans with overdraft
protection, small business loans, etc. Business loans
include seasonal credit collateral loans and term
loans, as well as accounts receivable and inventory
financing.
The Bank's loan portfolio mix can be classified into
four principal categories. They are real estate,
agricultural, commercial and consumer.
Real estate loans can be further segmented into
construction and land development, farm land,
one-to-four family residential, multi-family and
commercial or industrial. Qualified borrowers are
defined by policy or by industry underwriting
standards. Owner provided equity requirements range
from 20% to 30% with a first lien status required.
Terms are restricted to between 10 and 20 years with
the exception of construction and land development,
which is limited to one to five years. Appraisals,
verifications and visitations comply with industry
standards.
Financial information that is required on all
commercial mortgages includes the most current three
years' balance sheets and income statements and
projections on income to be developed through the
project. In the case of corporations and
partnerships, the principals are often asked to indebt
themselves personally as well. As regards residential
mortgages, repayment ability is determined from
information contained in the application and recent
income tax returns. Emphasis is on credit, employment,
income and residency verification. Broad hazard
insurance is always required and flood insurance where
applicable. In the case of construction mortgages,
builders risk insurance is requested. Adjustable rate
mortgages are not offered for residential mortgages.
Agricultural loans for the purchase or improvement
of real estate must meet the Bank's real estate
underwriting criteria. The only permissible exception
is when a Farmers Home Loan Administration guaranty is
obtained. Agricultural loans made for the purchase of
equipment are usually payable in five years, but never
more than seven, depending upon the useful life of the
purchased asset. Minimum borrower equity required is
20%. Livestock financing criteria depends upon the
nature of the operation. A dairy herd could be
financed over three years, but a feeder operation
would require cleanup in intervals of less than one
year. Agricultural loans are also made for crop
production purposes. Such loans are structured to
repay within the production cycle and not carried over
into a subsequent year. General purpose working
capital loans are also a possibility with repayment
expected within one year. It is also a general policy
to collateralize non-real estate loans with not only
the asset purchased but also junior liens on all other
available assets. Insurance and credit criteria is
the same as mentioned previously. In addition, annual
visits are made to our agricultural customers to
determine the general condition of assets. Personal
credit requirements are handled as consumer loans.
Commercial loans are made for the acquisition and
improvement of real estate, purchase of equipment and
for working capital purposes on a seasonal or
revolving basis. Criteria was discussed under real
estate financing for such loans, but it is important
to note that such loans may be made in conjuction with
the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority.
Caution is also exercised in taking industrial
property for collateral by requiring, on a selective
basis, environmental audits.
Equipment loans are generally amortized over three
to seven years, with an owner equity contribution
required of at least 20% of the purchase price.
Unusually expensive pieces may be financed for a
longer period depending upon the asset's useful life.
The increased cash flow resulting from the additional
piece, through improved income or greater depreciation
expense, serves in establishing the terms. Insurance
coverage with the Bank as loss payee is required,
especially in the case where the equipment is rolling
stock.
Seasonal and revolving lines of credit are offered for
working capital purposes. Collateral for such a loan
includes the pledge of inventory and/or receivables.
Drawing availability is usually 50% of inventory and
75% of eligible receivables. Eligible receivables are
defined as invoices less than 90 days delinquent.
Exclusive reliance is very seldom placed on such
collateral, therefore, other lienable assets are also
taken into the collateral pool. Where reliance is
placed on inventory and accounts receivable, the
applicant must provide financial information including
agings on a monthly basis. In addition, the guaranty
of the principals is usually obtained.
It is unusual for Jersey Shore State Bank to make
unsecured commercial loans. But when such a loan is a
necessity, credit information in the file must support
that decision.
Letter of Credit availablity is limited to standbys
where the customer is well known to the Bank. Credit
criteria is the same as that utilized in making a
direct loan and collateral is obtained in most cases,
and whenever the expiration date is for more than one
year.
Consumer loan products include second mortgages,
automobile financing, small loan requests, overdraft
check lines and PHEAA referral loans. Our policy
includes standards used in the industry on debt
service ratios and terms are consistent with prudent
underwriting standards and the use of proceeds.
Verifications are made of employment and residency,
along with credit history. Second mortgages are
confined to equity borrowing and home improvements.
Terms are generally ten years or less and rates are
fixed. Loan to collateral value criteria is 80% or
less and verifications are made to determine values.
Automobile financing is generally restricted to four
years and done on a direct basis. The Bank, as a
practice, does not floor plan and therefore does not
discount dealer paper. Small loan requests are to
accommodate personal needs such as the purchase of
small appliances or for the payment of taxes.
Overdraft check lines are limited to $5,000 or less.
The Bank's investment portfolio is analyzed and priced
on a monthly basis. Investments are made in U.S.
Treasuries, U.S. Agency issues, bank qualified
municipal bonds, corporate bonds and corporate stocks
which consist of Pennsylvania bank stocks. Bonds with
BAA or better ratings are used, unless a local issue
is purchased that has a lesser or no rating.
Factors taken into consideration when investments are
made include liquidity, the company's tax position and
the policies of the Asset/Liability Committee.
The Bank has experienced deposit growth in the range
of .96% to 8.22% over the last five years. This
growth has primarily come in the form of core
deposits. Although the Bank has regular opportunities
to bid on pools of funds of $100,000 or more in the
hands of municipalities, hospitals and others, it does
not rely on these monies to fund loans on intermediate
or longer term investments. Minor seasonal growth in
deposits is experienced at or near the year end.
It is the policy of Jersey Shore State Bank to
generally maintain a rate sensitive asset (RSA) to
rate sensitive liability (RSL) ratio of 200% of equity
for a 6-month time horizon, 175% of equity for a
2-year time horizon and 150% of equity for a 5-year
time horizon.
The Bank operates 10 full service offices in Lycoming,
Clinton, and Centre Counties, Pennsylvania, and a
Mortgage/Center in Centre County, Pennsylvania. The
economic base of the region is developed around
service, light manufacturing industries and
agriculture. The banking environment in Lycoming,
Clinton and Centre Counties, Pennsylvania is highly
competitive. The Bank competes for loans and deposits
with commerial banks, savings and loan associations
and other financial institutions.
The Bank has a relatively stable deposit base and no
material amount of deposits is obtained from a single
depositor or group of depositors (including federal,
state and local governments). The Bank has not
experienced any significant seasonal fluctuations in
the amount of its deposits.
b. Supervision and Regulation
The earnings of the Bank are affected by the policies
of regulatory authorities including the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. An important
function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate
the money supply and interest rates. Among the
instruments used to implement these objectives are
open market operations in U.S. Government Securities,
changes in reserve requirements against member bank
deposits, and limitations on interest rates that
member banks may pay on time and savings deposits.
These instruments are used in varying combinations to
influence overall growth and distribution of bank
loans, investments on deposits, and their use may also
affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for
deposits.
The policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve
Board have had and will probably continue to have a
significant effect on the Bank's deposits, loans and
investment growth, as well as the rate of interest
earned and paid, and are expected to affect the Bank's
operation in the future. The effect of such policies
and regulations upon the future business and earnings
of the Bank cannot accurately be predicted.

The stock prices and the dividend have been adjusted
to reflect the issuance of a stock split effected in
the form of a 100% stock dividend issued on January
15, 1998, and a 10% stock dividend on June 8, 1999.
The stock prices and dividends have also been adjusted
for the acquisition of First National Bank of Spring
Mills.
The Bank has paid cash dividends since December 31,
1941. The Registrant has paid dividends since the
effective date of its formation as a bank holding
company. It is the present intention of the
Registrant's Board of Directors to continue the
dividend payment policy; however, further dividends
must necessarily depend upon earnings, financial
condition, appropriate legal restrictions and other
factors relevant at the time the Board of Directors of
the Registrant considers dividend policy. Cash
available for dividend distributions to shareholders
of the Registrant must initially come from dividends
paid by the Bank to the Registrant. Therefore, the
restrictions on the Bank's dividend payments are
directly applicable to the Registrant.
Under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of
1988 a corporation may not pay a dividend, if after
giving effect thereto, the corporation would be unable
to pay its debts as they become due in the usual
course of business and after giving effect thereto the
total assets of the Corporation would be less than the
sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that
would be needed, if the corporation were to be
dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy
the preferential rights upon dissolution of the
shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to
those receiving the dividend.
As of February 29, 1999, the Registrant had
approximately 1,187 shareholders of record.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Consolidated Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
ITEM 7
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is determined by calculating the
difference between the yields earned on interest
earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities.
1999 vs 1998
Taxable equivalent net interest income increased 5.2%
or $804,000, to $16,396,000 from year end 1998 to year
end 1999. The increase is mostly attributable to an
increase in tax exempt investment securities volume of
$1,618,000 and a $167,000 decline in the rate creating
a net increase of $1,451,000. A net decrease in
taxable investment securities of $511,000 and a
$147,000 decrease in loans, moderates the increase of
total interest earning assets to $793,000.
Total average interest earning assets increased to
$334,680,000 in 1999. The $29,488,000 increase over
the previous year consisted of an $18,713,000 increase
in total average securities and an increase of
$10,775,000 in total average loans.
Total average interest bearing liabilities increased
$23,577,000 during 1999. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in borrowings of $9,878,000. Other
contributors include an increase of $8,442,000 and a
$5,257,000 increase to total deposits.
The effective interest differential declined 21 basis
points during 1999. The decrease was due to the net
effect of an interest rate decrease in total average
earning assets and a rate increase in total total
average interest bearing liabilities. Competitve
pressures and target interest rate increases by the
Federal Reserve have resulted in upward interest rate
pressure.
1998 vs 1997
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income increased
to $15,592,000 for the year ended December 31,1998, or
an increase of $976,000 or 6.7% over the previous
year.
The increase in total interest earning avaerage assets
from year end 1997 to year end 1998 was $39,327,000.
Total average securities increased $9,943,000, total
average loans increased $30,520,000, total average
federal funds sold decreased $1,136,000 and total
average other assets decreased $3,290,000.
The increase in tax equivalent net interest income,
related to the volume increase in average investment
securities, was $269,000, while the decrease due to a
decline in average interest rate of return was
$264,000. The resulting net increase of $5,000 to tax
equivalent net interest income was primarly due to two
leverage transactions completed in April and June of
1998; each transaction was $10,000,000.
Average net loans contributed $2,864,000 to tax
equivalent net interest income due to a volume
increase; a decline in the average rate of return on
loans offset this increase by $626,000, resulting in a
net increase of $2,238,000. Average loans grew
primarily due to strong demand for commercial loans.
The increase in total interest bearing average
liabilities from year end 1997 to year end 1998 was
$24,297,000.
Total average savings increased $2,502,000 and total
average other time deposits increased $6,691,000.
Total average short term borrowings increased
$2,355,000 and total average borrowings increased
$12,749,000.
Average total deposits increased by a total of
$9,193,000. The related increase in interest expense
due to volume increases was $437,000. The related
decrease in interest expense due to interest rate was
$73,000 for a net increase in interest expense of
$364,000 related to deposits.
Average short term borowings and other borrowings
increased $15,104,000 in total. Increases in interest
expense due to volume on the above accounts was
$848,000 and a decrease of $8,000 due to interest
rate. The net increase in interest expense related to
these items was $849,000.
In summary, the total effective interest differential
declined 39 basis points mainly due to a decline in
interest rates on interest earning assets. The
decline in interest rates was due to the economy in
general and the result of the effects of a 75 basis
point decline in the Federal Reserve discount rate.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
1999 vs 1998
The provision for loan losses decreased 6.2% from
fiscal 1998 to $286,000 for a year end allowance for loan
losses of $2,823,000. This allotment recongnized the
prior year end allowance for loan losses balance,
overall loan performance and anticipated recoveries.
Each quarter management conducts comprehensive,
detailed credit review of the loan portfolio to
determine the adequacy of the provision. Supplementing
the internal review is an external review. In so
doing, management remains committed to an aggressive
program of problem loan identification and resolution.
1998 vs 1997
The provision for loan losses was increased 11.3%
over the prior year to $305,000. This increase is
attributed to an anticipated significant rise in
consumer loan losses accompanied by a further decline
in recoveries. Each quarter management conducts
comprehensive, detailed credit review of the loan
portfolio to determine the adequacy of the provision.
Supplementing the internal review is an external
review. In so doing, management remains committed to

OTHER INCOME
1999 vs 1998
Total other income at December 31, 1999 was $3,527,000
versus 1998's year end total of $3,435,000. This
$92,000 increase resulted from the net effect of an
increase in service charges collected of $258,000, a
decrease in securities gains realized of $130,000 and
a decrease in other operating income of $36,000. A
significant portion of the increase in service charge
income, of $105,000, is due to the growth in the
deposit base and an increase in charges collected on
deposit accounts. Other major factors include an
increase of $153,000 in income based upon ATM and
debit card usage. During 1999 securities gains
realized amounted to $1,946,000 versus $2,076,000
realized in 1998.
1998 vs 1997
Other income for the year ended December 31, 1998
decreased $2,486,000 from 1997. The majority of the
decrease was the result of securities gains taken
during 1998 versus those taken in 1997. Securities
gains realized during 1998 were $2,076,000 versus
$4,658,000 that were realized in 1997.
The increase in service charges from $903,000 in 1997
to $1,100,000 in 1998 was the result of increases in
charges collected on customers activity on their
deposit accounts and overall growth in the deposit
base.
Other operating income decreased in 1998 over that
reported in 1997 by $101,000. There were two main
factors that contributed to the majority of the
decrease. The first was the sale of foreclosed assets
during 1997. The income reported on the 1997 sales
exceeded the amount of income reported in 1998 for
such sales. The second was a decrease in the income
received for insurance purchases on installment loans.
This decrease was the result of a decrease in the
amount of installment loans opened during 1998.
OTHER EXPENSES
1999 vs 1998
When comparing the year ended December 31, 1999 with
the year ended December 31, 1998, there was a $274,000
or 3% increase in other expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits expensed during 1999
increased by $72,000 over the amount expensed during
1998 due to normal wage increases.
Occupancy, furniture and equipment expense decreased
in 1999 by $11,000 compared to 1998. The net effect of
a $39,000 increase in occupancy expense and a decrease
of $50,000 in furniture and equipment expense account
for this decrease. The increase in occupancy expense
is related to the opening of a new branch office in
Zion. The decrease in furniture and equipment expense
is attributable to a decline in the monthly cost of
the IBM computer lease offset by the increase in
depreciation on new equipment.
Other operating expenses, the final component of total
other expenses increased by $213,000. The most
significant increases occurred in bookkeeping and data
processing, check imprinting, stationery and supplies
and ATM expenses.
1998 vs 1997
At December 31, 1998, other expenses had increased
$846,000, or 10% over 1997 expenses.
The amount of salaries and employee benefits expensed
during 1998 increased by $229,000 due to a special
bonus that was paid to all employees and wage
increases.
Occupancy expense increased $96,000 and furniture and
equipment expense increased slightly in 1998 by $2,000
compared to 1997. The increase in occupancy expense
is primarily due to an increase in depreciation
resulting from the purchase of an imaging system and
increased expenses that were incurred by First
National Bank of Spring Mills.
Other operating expenses increased by $519,000.
Acquisition costs, related to the agreement signed by
the Company to acquire First National Bank of Spring
Mills, accounted for the majority of the increase. It
should be noted that expenses related to the merger
are non-recurring.
INCOME TAXES
1999 vs 1998
Income tax expense recognized in 1999 was $2,224,000
compared to $2,164,000 in 1998, resulting in an
effective income tax rate of 23.6% and 25.1% for 1999
and 1998, respectively. The increase in tax-exempt
income from 1998 to 1999 caused 1.5% decline in the
effective tax rate.
1998 vs 1997
The provision for income taxes for the year ended
December 31, 1998 resulted in an effective income tax
rate of 25.1% compared to 27.8% for 1997. The decrease
in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to
a decline in the amount of securities gains realized
during 1998.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
INVESTMENTS
1999
The investment portfolio increased in 1999 by
$10,918,000 due to net increases in U.S. Government
agencies and state and political subdivisions of
$19,135,000 and a decrease in U.S. Treasury
securities, other bonds, notes and debentures and
corporate stock of $8,217,000. The total investment
portfolio at year end 1999 was comprised of 34% U.S.
Government and agency securities, 42% state and
political subdivions, 23% equity securities and 1%
other bonds notes and debentures. Held to maturity
securities had a carrying value of $3,014,000. The
largest portion of the portfolio is classified as
available for sale and had an amortized cost of
$117,740,000 with an estimated market value of
$113,305,000. Due to the unrealized loss on available
for sale securities of $4,435,000, shareholders equity
was effected by $(2,927,000), net of deferred taxes.
Management has significantly increased holdings in tax
free municipals which has served to increase its
after-tax yield. The decrease in corporate stock is
due to the net effect of purchases and sales in
addition to the change in the net unrealized gain from
year end
1998
The investment security portfolio increased in 1998
by $14,928,000 due to net increases in U.S. Government
agencies, state and political subdivisions and
corporate stock of $16,900,000 and a decrease in U.S.
Treasury securities of $1,972,000. The increase in
investment securities is primarily due to purchases of
equity securities, and purchases of government
securities and state and political subdivisions funded
by long-term advances from Federal Home Loan Bank. The
total investment portfolio at year end 1998 was
comprised of 43% US Government and agency securities,
29% state and political subdivisions, 27% equity
securities, and 1% other bonds, notes and debentures.
Held to maturity securities had a carrying value of
$3,078,000. The largest portion of the portfolio is
classified as available for sale and had an amortized
cost of $94,812,000 with an estimated market value of
$102,323,000.

All yields represent weighted average yields expressed
on a tax equivalent basis. They are calculated on the
basis of the cost, adjusted for amortization of
premium and accretion of discount and effective yields
weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security.
The taxable equivalent adjustment represents the
difference between annual income from tax-exempt
obligations and the taxable equivalent of such income
at the standard 34% tax rate (derived by dividing
tax-exempt interest by .66).
LOAN PORTFOLIO
1999
Gross loans totaled $233,823,000 at year end, an
increase of $17,257,000 or 8.0% over fiscal 1998. Our
commercial, agricultural loan portfolio declined
$1,185,000 (3.6%) and installment loans to individuals
delcined $986,000 (4.0%). These reductions were offset
by a $19,428,000 (12.2%) increase in our real estate
secured portfolio. Contributing to this volume are
increases of $11,687,000 (10.5%) in residential
mortgages, $7,883,000 (18.1%) in commercial mortgages
and a $142,000 (3.7%) decline in construction loans. A
viable local economy and marketable lending practices
are responsible for this overall increase.
1998
Gross loans totaled $216,566,000 at year end, an
increase of $8,979,000 or 4.3% over the prior year
end. While commercial and agricultural loans declined
by $5,711,000 or 14.8%, installment loans to
individuals grew by $997,000 or 4.2%, residential real
estate mortgages increased by $1,938,000 or 1.8%,
commercial real estate mortgages increased by
$10,892,000 or 33.3%, and construction real estate
mortgages grew $863,000 or 28.7%. Growth has leveled
off primarily because of aggressive pricing in the
market place.

loans maturing within one year may be renewed, in
whole or in part, as to principal amount at interest
rates prevailing at the date of renewal.
(2) Scheduled repayments are reported in maturity
categories in which the payment is due.
The Bank does not make loans that provide for negative
amortization nor do any loans contain conversion
features. The Bank does not have any foreign loans
outstanding at December 31, 1999.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
1999
At December 31, 1999, the allowance for loan losses
stood at $2,823,000 or 1.2% of gross loans. This was a
$142,000 (5.3%) increase over year end 1998. The
adequacy of the loan loss allowance is determined
quarterly in unison with management's comprehensive
rewiew of the loan portfolio of credit quality.
Reviews are further enhanced by anaylsis of recent and
past economic conditions, portfolio trends and growth,
peer comparisons and other factors impacting overall
credit quality. Underwriting continues to emphasize
the need for security and adequate collateral margins.
Nonaccruing loans declined $362,000 (56.0%) to
$383,000 from year end 1998. Overall non-performing
loans were reduced $181,000 (25.6%) to 525,000 from
fiscal 1998. 37.3% of nonaccruing loans are meeting
contractual obligations and three of the five loans
are real estate secured.
1998
At December 31, 1998, the allowance for loan losses
stood at $2,681,000 or 1.2% of gross loans. This was
an increase of $102,000 or 4.0%.
Adequacy of the loan loss allowance is determined
quarterly in unison with management's comprehensive
review of the loan portfolio for credit quality.
Reviews are further enhanced by analyses of present
and past economic conditions, portfolio trends and
growth, peer comparisons and other factors impacting
overall credit quality. Underwriting continues to
emphasize the need for security and adequate
collateral margins.
In 1998 while nonaccruing loans increased by $94,000
to $646,000, overall non-performing loans were in fact
declining. Twelve percent (12%) of nonaccruing loans
are meeting contractual obligations and all such loans
are real estate secured.
The following table presents information concerning
nonperforming loans. The accrual of interest will be
discontinued when the principal or interest of a loan
is in default for 90 days or more, or as soon as
payment is questionable, unless the loan is well
secured and in the process of collection. Consumer
loans and residential real estate loans secured by 1
to 4 family dwellings shall ordinarily not be subject
to those guidelines. The reversal of previously
accrued but uncollected interest applicable to any
loan placed in a nonaccrual status and the treatment
of subsequent payments of either principal or interest
will be handled in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Generally accepted accounting
principles do not require a write-off of previously
accrued interest if principal and interest are
ultimately protected by sound collateral values. A
nonperforming loan may be restored to an accruing
status when:
1. Principal and interest is no longer due and unpaid.
2. It becomes well secured and in the process of collection.
3. Prospects for future contractual payments are no
longer in doubt.

1996 $748 $278 $0
1995 $1,009 $798 $0
If interest had been recorded at the original rate on
nonaccrual loans, such income would have approximated
$48,000, $98,000 and $81,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Interest income on such loans, which is recorded when
received, amounted to approximately $38,000, $50,000
and $42,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.
The significant reduction in nonaccruing loans over
the past five years is attributed to a strengthening
in underwriting standards and the successful
culmination of several commercial loan workouts.
Presently there are no significant amounts of loans
where serious doubts exist as to the ability of the
borrower to comply with the current loan payment terms
which are not included in the nonperforming categories
as indicated above.
Management's judgment in determining the amount of the
additions to the allowance charged to operating
expense considers the following factors:
1. Economic conditions and the impact on the loan portfolio.
2. Analysis of past loan charge-offs experience by
category and comparison to outstanding loans.
3. Problem loans on overall portfolio quality.
4. Reports of examination of the loan portfolio by
the Pennsylvania State Banking Department and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

DEPOSITS
1999
All categories of deposits increased with demand
deposits showing the most significant growth of 12.2%.
Interest bearing deposits grew $5,257,000 while
noninterest-bearing deposits increased $4,479,000.
Together interest and noninterest-bearing deposits add
$9,736,000 to the increase of total average deposits.
Saving deposits increased $4,946,000 or 5.4% from year
end 1998 to year end 1999. Time deposits remained
stable, increasing only $311,000 in 1999.
The reduction of growth in time deposits from 1998 to
1999 as compared to 1997 to 1998 is reflective of a
highly competitive market for funds. Relatively high
consumer spending ignited growth in transaction
accounts.
1998
There was an increase in average deposits in 1998 of
$13,434,000, or 5.8% over 1997's average deposits.
An increase in other time deposits contributed
$6,691,000 to the overall increase. Movements in
demand deposits and savings deposits resulted in
increases of $6,332,000 and $411,000, respectively.
The $13,434,000 increase is the result of the Bank's
successful efforts to offer competitive interest rates
on their savings and other time deposit accounts, in
addition to providing an attractive, low-fee checking
account product.
Time deposits of $100,000 or more totaled
approximately $24,308,000 on December 31, 1999 and
$23,112,000 on December 31, 1998. Interest expense
related to such deposits was approximately $1,242,000,
$1,238,000 and $954,000 for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Time deposits
of $100,000 or more at December 31, 1999 mature as
follows: 2000 - $18,004,000; 2001 - $4,847,000; 2002 -
$538,000; 2003 - $219,000; thereafter - $700,000.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
1999
Shareholders' equity is evaluated in relation to total
assets and the risk associated with those assets. A
company is more likely to meet its cash obligations
and absorb unforeseen losses when the capital
resources are greater. Total Shareholders' Equity at
December 31, 1999 was $46,085,000, decreasing by
$3,811,000 from the balance at December 31, 1998 of
$49,896,000. Net income and the exercising of stock
options contributed $7,190,000 and $118,000,
respectively, to shareholders' equity. The overall
decline in total shareholders' equity is largely
attributed to the decrease in the unrealized
appreciation on securities. Additional reductions to
shareholders' equity included $3,178,000 that was paid
out in dividends and $56,000 for the purchase of
treasury stock.
1998
At December 31, 1998, total shareholders' equity
increased by $2,503,000 reaching $49,896,000 which is
up from $47,393,000 at December 31, 1997. Net income
of $6,468,000 was added to equity at year-end 1998, in
addition to $184,000 from stock options that were
exercised throughout 1998. The net change in the
unrealized appreciation on securities available for
sale from year end 1997 to 1998 reduced shareholders'
equity by $1,180,000. A purchase of treasury stock
also reduced shareholders' equity by $214,000.
Dividends that were paid from equity in 1998 totaled
$2,755,000.
Bank regulators have recently issued risk based
capital guidelines. Under these guidelines, banks are
required to maintain minimum ratios of core capital
and total qualifying capital as a percentage of risk
weighted assets and certain off-balance sheet items.
At December 31, 1999, the Company's required ratios
were well above the minimum ratios as follows:
1999
Minimum
Company Standards
Tier 1 capital ratio 20.33% 4.00%
Total capital ratio 21.51% 8.00%
For a more comprehensive discussion of these
requirements, see Regulations and Supervision on the
Form 10K. Management believes that the Company will
continue to exceed regulatory capital requirements.

LIQUIDITY, INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AND MARKET RISK
Fundamental objectives of the Company's
asset/liability management process are to maintain
adequate liquidity while minimizing interest rate
risk. The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides
the Company with the ability to meet its financial
obligations to depositors, loan customers and
stockholders. Additionally, it provides funds for
normal operating expenditures and business
opportunities as they arise. The objective of
interest rate sensitivity management is to increase
net interest income by managing interest sensitive
assets and liabilities in such a way that they can be
repriced in response to changes in market interest
rates.
Liquidity is generated from transactions relating to
both the Company's assets and liabilities. Liquidity
from assets is achieved primarily through temporary
investments in Federal funds sold and time deposits
with financial institutions. Cash receipts arising
from normal customer loan payments provide another
important source of asset related liquidity. On the
liability side, deposit growth and temporary
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh's Repo Plus product provide liquidity. The
liquidity provided by these sources is more than
adequate to meet the Company's needs.
Interest rate sensitivity, which is closely related to
liquidity management, is a function of the repricing
characteristics of the Company's portfolio of assets
and liabilities. Asset/liability management strives
to match maturities and rates between loan and
investment security assets with the deposit
liabilities and borrowings that fund them. Successful
asset/liability management results in a balance sheet
structure which can cope effectively with market rate
fluctuations. The matching process is affected by
segmenting both assets and liabilities into future
time periods (usually 12 months, or less) based upon
when repricing can be effected. Repriceable assets are
subtracted from repriceable liabilities, for a
specific time period to determine the "gap", or
difference. Once known, the gap is managed based on
predictions about future market interest rates.
Intentional mismatching, or gapping, can enhance net
interest income if market rates move as predicted.
However, if market rates behave in a manner contrary
to predictions, net interest income will suffer. Gaps,
therefore, contain an element of risk and must be
prudently managed.
In addition to gap management, the Company has
recently developed an asset liability management
policy which incorporates two new tools in managing
interest rate risk. A market value at risk calculation
which is used to determine the effects of interest
rate movements on shareholders' equity is now being
utilized, as well as, simulation analysis to monitor
the effects of interest rate changes on the Company's
balance sheets.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The following table sets forth the Bank's interest
rate sensitivity as of December 31, 1999:
AFTER ONE AFTER TWO AFTER

(1) Investment balances reflect estimated prepayments
on mortgage-backed securities.
(2) Loan balances include annual repayment assumptions
based on projected cash flow from the loan portfolio.
The cash flow projections are based on the terms of
the credit facilities and estimated prepayments on
fixed rate mortgage loans. Loans include loans held
for resale.
(3) Adjustments to the interest sensitivity of Savings,
NOW and MMDA account balances reflect managerial
assumptions based on historical experience,
expected behavior in future rate environments and
the Bank's positioning for these products.
(4) Net noninterest-bearing funds is the sum of noninterest-
bearing liabilities and shareholders' equity minus
noninterest-earning assets and reflect managerial
assumptions as to the appropriate investment
maturity categories.
In this analysis the Company examines the result of a
100 and 200 basis point change in market interest
rates and the effect on net interest income. It is
assumed that the change is instantaneous and that all
rates move in a parallel manner. In addition, it is
assumed that rates on core deposit products such as
NOWs, savings accounts, and the MMDA accounts will be
adjusted by 50% of the assumed rate change.
Assumptions are also made concerning prepayment speeds
on mrotgage loans and mortgage securities. The
results of this rate shock are a useful tool to assist
the Company in assessing interest rate risk inherent
in its balance sheet. Below are the results of this
rate shock analysis as of December 31, 1999.
Changes in Net Interest
Rates Income change (after Tax)
-200 845
-100 437
+100 (444)
+200 (890)
The model utilized to create the report presented
above makes various estimates at each level of
interest rate change regarding cash flow from
principal repayment on loans and mortgage-backed
securities and or call activity on investment
securities. Actual results could differ significantly
from these estimates which would result in significant
differences in the calculated projected change. In
addition, the limits stated above do not necessarily
represent the level of change under which management
would undertake specific measure to realign its
portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of
change.
Generally, management believes the Company is well
positioned to respond expeditiously when the market
interest rate outlook changes.
INFLATION
The asset and liability structure of a financial
institution is primarily monetary in nature,
therefore, interest rates rather than inflation have a
more significant impact on the Corporation's
performance. Interest rates are not always affected
in the same direction or magnitude as prices of other
goods and services, but are reflective of fiscal
policy initiatives or economic factors which are not
measured by a price index.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income is a measure of all the changes
in equity of a corporation. It excludes transactions
with owners in their capacity as owners (ie. Stock
options granted or exercised, repurchase of treasury
stock transactions, and dividends to shareholders).
Other comprehensive income is the difference between
Net Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company's
Other Comprehensive Income is composed of unrealized
gains and losses on available for sale securities, net
of deferred income tax. Comprehensive income is not a
measure of net income. Net income would be affected
by Other Comprehensive Income only in the event that
the entire securities portfolio was sold on the
statement date.
Unrealized gains or losses reflected in the Company's
Comprehensive Income may vary widely at statement
dates as a result of changing markets and/or interest
rate movements.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998, 1997 were (7,885,000),
(1,180,000) and 3,656,000, respectively.

PENNS WOODS BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. and
its wholly- owned subsidiaries, Jersey Shore State
Bank (the "Bank"), Woods Real Estate Development Co.,
Inc., and Woods Investment Company, Inc.
(collectively, the "Company"). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Nature of Business
The Bank engages in a full-service commercial banking
business, making available to the community a wide
range of financial services including, but not limited
to, installment loans, credit cards, mortgage and home
equity loans, lines of credit, construction financing,
farm loans, community development loans, loans to
non-profit entities and local government loans and
various types of time and demand deposits including,
but not limited to, checking accounts, savings
accounts, clubs, money market deposit accounts,
certificates of deposit and IRAs. Deposits are
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) to the extent provided by law.
The financial services are provided to individuals,
partnerships, non-profit organizations and
corporations through its ten offices and Mortgage/Loan
Center located in Clinton, Lycoming, and Centre
Counties, Pennsylvania.
Woods Real Estate Development Co., Inc. engages in
real estate transactions on behalf of Penns Woods
Bancorp, Inc. and the Bank.
Woods Investment Company, Inc. is engaged in investing
activities.
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 may differ from those
estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible
to significant change relate to the determination of
the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of
real estate acquired through, or in lieu of,
foreclosure on settlement of debt.
Investment Securities
Investment securities are classified as held to
maturity, available for sale, or trading.
Securities held to maturity include bonds, notes, and
debentures for which the Company has the positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity and are
reported at amortized cost.
Trading account securities are recorded at their fair
values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading
account securities are included in other income. The
Company has no trading account securities as of
December 31, 1999 or 1998.
Available for sale securities consist of bonds, notes,
debentures, and certain equity securities not
classified as trading securities nor as held to
maturity securities. Unrealized holding gains and
losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities
are reported as a net amount in a separate component
of shareholders' equity until realized.
Gains and losses on the sale of all securities are
determined using the specific-identification method.
Declines in the fair value of individual securities
held to maturity and available for sale below their
cost that are other than temporary result in
write-downs of the individual securities to their fair
value and are included in earnings as realized losses.
Premiums and discounts on all securities are
recognized in interest income using the interest
method over the period to maturity.
The fair value of investments and mortgage-backed
securities, except certain state and political
securities, is estimated based on bid prices published
in financial newspapers or bid quotations received
from securities dealers. The fair value of certain
state and political securities is not readily
available through market sources other than dealer
quotations, so fair value estimates are based on
quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted
for difference between the quoted instruments and the
instruments being valued.
Loans
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding,
net of unearned interest, unamortized loan fees and
costs, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on
loans is recognized as income when earned on the
accrual method. The Company's general policy has been
to stop accruing interest on loans when it is
determined a reasonable doubt exists as to the
collectibility of additional interest. Income is
subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash
payments are received provided the loan is not
delinquent in payment and, in management's judgement,
the borrower has the ability and intent to make future
principal payments.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents the amount
which management estimates is adequate to provide for
potential losses in its portfolio. The allowance
method is used in providing for loan losses.
Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the
allowance and all recoveries are credited to it. The
allowance for loan losses is established through a
provision for loan losses charged to operations. The
provision for loan losses is based on management's
periodic evaluation of individual loans, economic
factors, past loan loss experience, changes in the
composition and volume of the portfolio, and other
relevant factors. The estimates used in determining
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses,
including the amounts and timing of future cash flows
expected on impaired loans, are particularly
susceptible to changes in the near term.
Impaired loans are commercial and commercial real
estate loans for which it is probable the Company will
not be able to collect all amounts due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The
Company individually evaluates such loans for
impairment and does not aggregate loans by major risk
classifications. The definition of "impaired loans"
is not the same as the definition of "nonaccrual
loans," although the two categories overlap. The
Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual
status due to payment delinquency or uncertain
collectibility, while not classifying the loan as
impaired if the loan is not a commercial or commercial
real estate loan. Factors considered by management in
determining impairment include payment status and
collateral value. The amount of impairment for these
types of impaired loans is determined by the
difference between the present value of the expected
cash flows related to the loan, using the original
interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a
practical expedient in the case of collateralized
loans, the difference between the fair value of the
collateral and the recorded amount of the loans. When
foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based
on the fair value of the collateral.
Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and
all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance
homogeneous loans and are measured for impairment
collectively. Loans that experience insignificant
payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less,
generally are not classified as impaired. Management
determines the significance of payment delays on a
case-by-case basis taking into consideration all
circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower
including the length of the delay, the borrower's
prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in
relation to the principal and interest owed.
It is the opinion of management that the allowance for
loan losses is adequate to absorb foreseeable loan
losses. Loan losses are charged directly against the
allowance, and recoveries on previously charged-off
loans are added to the allowance.
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale
Foreclosed assets held for sale are carried at the
lower of fair value minus estimated costs to sell or
cost. Prior to foreclosure, the value of the
underlying loan is written down to the fair value of
the real estate to be acquired by a charge to the
allowance for loan losses, if necessary. Any
subsequent write-downs are charged against operating
expenses. Operating expenses of such properties, net
of related income, and gains and losses on their
disposition are included in other expenses.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed
using straight- line and accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Costs
incurred for routine maintenance and repairs are
expensed currently.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from
temporary differences in financial and income tax
methods of accounting, and are reflected at currently
enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in
which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are
expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax
laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted through the provision for
income taxes.
Earnings Per Share
The Company provides dual presentation of basic and
diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
is calculated utilizing net income as reported in the
numerator and average shares outstanding in the
denominator. The computation of diluted earnings per
share differs in that the dilutive effects of any
stock options are adjusted in the denominator.
Stock Options
The Company maintains a stock option plan for the
Directors, officers and employees. When the exercise
price of the Company's stock options is greater than
or equal to the market price of the underlying stock
on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is
recognized in the Company's financial statements. Pro
forma net income and earnings per share are presented
to reflect the impact of the stock option plan
assuming compensation expense had been recognized
based on the fair value of the stock options granted
under the plan.
Comprehensive Income
The Company is required to present comprehensive
income in a full set of general-purpose financial
statements for all periods presented. Other
comprehensive income is comprised exclusively of
unrealized holding gains (losses) on the available for
sale securities portfolio. The Company has elected to
report the effects of other comprehensive income as
part of the Statement of Changes in Shareholders'
Equity.
Cash Flows
The Company utilizes the net reporting of cash
receipts and cash payments for deposit and lending
activities.
The Company considers amounts due from banks as cash
equivalents.
Pending Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 ". Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as
amended by in June 1999 by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133". The statement provides accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, by requiring the recognition of those items
as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position, recorded at fair value.
Statement No. 133, precludes a held to maturity
security from being designated as a hedged item,
however, at the date of initial application of this
statement, an entity is permitted to transfer any held
to maturity security into the available for sale or
trading categories. The unrealized holding gain or
loss on such transferred securities shall be reported
consistent with the requirements of Statement No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". Such transfers do not raise an issue
regarding an entity's intent to hold other debt
securities to maturity in the future. This statement
applies prospectively for all fiscal quarters of all
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Earlier adoption
is permitted for any fiscal quarter that begins after
the issue date of this statement.
NOTE B - PER SHARE DATA
Earnings per share is based on the weighted-average
number of shares of common stock outstanding. During
1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share", which requires presentation of two amounts,
basic and diluted earnings per share.
The number of shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings and
cash dividends per share reflect the retroactive effect of stock dividends
declared. The following data show the amounts used in computing earnings
per share:

NOTE C - CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
Banks are required to maintain reserves consisting of
vault cash and deposit balances with the Federal
Reserve Bank in their district. The reserves are
based on deposit levels during the year and account
activity and other services provided by the Federal
Reserve Bank. Average daily currency, coin and cash
balances with the Federal Reserve Bank needed to cover
reserves against deposits for 1999 ranged from
$2,438,000 to $3,873,000. For 1998, these balances
ranged from $1,738,000 to $2,752,000. Average daily

NOTE K - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit
pension plan (the "Plan") for all employees meeting
certain age and length of service requirements.
Benefits are based primarily on years of service and
the average annual compensation during the highest
five consecutive years within the final ten years of
employment.
The following tables show the funded status and
components of net periodic benefit cost from this
defined benefit plan (in thousands):

Net periodic benefit cost $ 224 $ 225
401(k) Savings Plan
The Company also offers a 401(k) savings plan in which
eligible participating employees may elect to
contribute up to a maximum percentage allowable not to
exceed the limits of Code Sections 401(k), 404, and
415. The company may make matching contributions
equal to a discretionary percentage to be determined
by the Company. Participants are at all times fully
vested in their contributions and vest over a period
of five years in the employer contribution.
Contribution expense was approximately $64,000,
$114,000, and $100,000 for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company has a deferred compensation plan whereby
participating directors elected to forego director's
fees for a period of five years. Under this plan the
Company will make payments for a ten-year period
beginning at age 65 in most cases or at death, if
earlier, at which time payments would be made to their
designated beneficiaries.
To fund benefits under the deferred compensation plan,
the Company has acquired corporate-owned life
insurance policies on the lives of the participating
directors for which insurance benefits are payable to
the Company. The total expense charged to other
expenses was $128,000, $114,000 and $114,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Benefits paid under the plan were
approximately $57,000 in 1999 and $45,000 in 1998 and
1997.
NOTE L- STOCK OPTIONS
Prior to 1998, the Company granted a select group of
its officers options to purchase shares of its common
stock. These options, which are immediately
exercisable, expire within three to ten years after
having been granted. The Company applies Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for these options.
Accordingly, compensation expense is recognized on the
grant date, in amount equivalent to the intrinsic
value of the options (stock price less exercise price,
at measurement date). Had compensation costs for
these options been determined based on the fair values
at the grant dates for awards consistent with the
method of SFAS No. 123, the effect on the Company's
net income and earnings per share for 1999, 1998, and
1997 would have been insignificant. For purposes of
the calculations required by SFAS No. 123, the fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following weighted-average assumptions for
grants issued in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively:
dividend yield of 1.85 percent, 2.52 percent, and 3.45
percent, respectively; risk-free interest rates of
6.75 percent, 5.63 percent, and 5.69 percent,
respectively; and expected option lives of three years
and expected volatility of 18.73 percent, 14.51
percent, and 17.50 percent, respectively.
Also, in 1998, the Company adopted the "1998 Stock
Option Plan" for key employees and directors.
Incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options
may be granted to eligible employees of the Bank and
nonqualified options may be granted to directors of
the Company. In addition, non-employee directors are
eligible to receive grants of nonqualified stock
options. Incentive nonqualified stock options granted
under the 1998 Plan may be exercised not later than
ten years after the date of grant. Each option
granted under the 1998 Plan shall be exercisable only
after the expiration of six months following the date
of grant of such options.
A summary of the status of the Company's common stock
option plans, adjusted to reflect a stock split

NOTE M - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain directors and executive officers of the
Company and the Bank, including their immediate
families and companies in which they are principal
owners (more than ten percent), are indebted to the
Company. Such indebtedness was incurred in the
ordinary course of business on the same terms and at
those rates prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with others.
A summary of loan activity with executive officers,
directors, principal shareholders, and associates of
such persons is listed below (in thousands):

years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
approximated $197,000, $268,000, and $263,000,
respectively.
The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims arising
out of its business. In the opinion of management,
after review and consultation with counsel, any
proceedings that may be assessed will not have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position of the Company.
NOTE 0 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Company is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit and standby letter of credit. These
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit, interest rate or liquidity risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the consolidated balance
sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments
express the extent of involvement the Company has in
particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company's exposure to credit loss from
nonperformance by the other party to the financial
instruments for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the
contractual amount of these instruments. The Company
uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance
sheet instruments.
The Company may require collateral or other security
to support financial instruments with off-balance
sheet credit risk.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent
credit risk are as follows at December 31 (in
thousands):
1999 1998
Commitments to extend credit $ 25,917 $ 29,455
Standby letters of credit $ 1,564 $ 1,157
Commitments to extend credit are legally binding
agreements to lend to customers. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of fees.
Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts
do not necessarily represent future liquidity
requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's
credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount
of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the
Company, on extension of credit is based on
management's credit assessment of the counterparty.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments
issued by the Company guaranteeing performance by a
customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
issued primarily to support public and private
borrowing arrangements including commercial paper,
bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending
loan facilities to customers.
NOTE P - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Federal regulations require the Company and the Bank
to maintain minimum amounts of capital. Specifically,
each is required to maintain certain minimum dollar
amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average
total assets.
In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA)
established five capital categories ranging form "well
capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized."
Should any institution fail to meet the requirements
to be considered "adequately capitalized," it would
become subject to a series of increasingly restrictive
regulatory actions.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the FDIC
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To be classified as a well capitalized
financial institution, Total risk-based, Tier 1
risk-based and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios
must be at least 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively.
The Company's and the Bank's actual capital ratios are
presented in the following tables, which shows that
both met all regulatory capital requirements.
The Company's actual capital amounts and ratios are

Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that
may be paid by the Bank to Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc.
Retained earnings against which dividends may be paid
without prior approval of the banking regulators
amounted to approximately $10,057,000 at December 31,
1999, subject to minimum capital ratio requirements
noted above.
The Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions which
limit its ability to loan funds to Penns Woods
Bancorp, Inc. At December 31, 1999, the regulatory
lending limit amounted to approximately $3,716,000.
NOTE Q - ACQUISITION
On January 11, 1999 the Company completed the
acquisition of all the outstanding common stock of the
First National Bank of Spring Mills in exchange for
262,471 shares of the Company's common stock, in a
business combination accounted for as a pooling of
interest. As a result of this transaction, total
consolidated assets increased approximately
$31,834,000. Historical financial information has
been restated to include the First National Bank of
Spring Mills.
NOTE R - STOCK DIVIDEND
On April 28, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a
ten percent stock dividend to shareholders of record
as of May 10, 1999. As a result of the dividend, an
additional 283,393 shares of the Company were issued,
with fractional shares paid in cash.
On November 25, 1997 the Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one stock split issued to shareholders on
January 15, 1998. The additional shares resulting
from the split were effected in the form of a 100%
stock dividend.
Average shares and all pre share amounts included in
the consolidated financial statements are based on the
increased number of shares after giving retroactive
effect to the stock dividends.
NOTE S - ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," requires that the Company
disclose estimated fair values for its financial
instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a
specific point in time, based on relevant market
information and information about the financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any
premium or discount that could result from offering
for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of
a particular financial instrument. Also, it is the
Company's general practice and intention to hold most
of its financial instruments to maturity and not to
engage in trading or sales activities. Because no
market exists for a significant portion of the
Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates
are based on judgments regarding future expected loss
experience, current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments and
other factors. These estimates are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and therefore cannot be
determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can
significantly affect the estimates.
Estimated fair values have been determined by the
Company using historical data and an estimation
methodology suitable for each category of financial
instruments. The estimated fair value of the
Company's investment securities is described in Note
A. The Company's fair value estimates, methods, and
assumptions are set forth below for the Company's
other financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks
approximate fair value.
Loans
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with
similar financial characteristics. Loans are
segregated by type such as commercial, commercial real
estate, residential mortgage, credit card, and other
consumer. Each loan category is further segmented
into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by
performing and nonperforming categories.
The fair value of performing loans, except residential
mortgage and credit card loans, is calculated by
discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated
maturity using estimated market discount rates that
reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in
the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the
Company's historical experience with repayments for
each loan classification, modified, as required, by an
estimate of the effect of current economic and lending
conditions. For performing residential mortgage
loans, fair value is estimated by discounting
contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment
estimates using discounted rates based on secondary
market sources adjusted to reflect differences in
servicing and credit costs. For credit card loans,
cash flows and maturities are estimated based on
contractual interest rates and historical experience
and are discounted using secondary market rates
adjusted for differences in servicing and credit
costs.
Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is
based on recent external appraisals. If appraisals
are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted
using a rate commensurate with the risk associated
with the estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding
credit risk, cash flows, and discounted rates are
judgmentally determined using available market
information and specific borrower information.

(1) Average maturity represents the expected average
cash flow period, which in some instances is different
than the stated maturity.
(2) Management has made estimates of fair value
discount rates that it believes to be reasonable.
However, because there is no market for many of these
financial instruments, management has no basis to
determine whether the fair value presented above would
be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual
sale.
Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity,
such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings
and NOW accounts, and money market and checking
accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998. The fair value of
certificates of deposit is based on the discounted
value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates currently offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities (in
thousands):
Book Value Fair Value
31-Dec-99
Interest-bearing deposits $ 212,528 $ 212,378
Noninterest-bearing deposits 43,045 43,045
31-Dec-98
Interest-bearing deposits $ 210,901 $ 211,559
Noninterest-bearing deposits 42,233 42,223
The fair value estimates above do not include the
benefit that results from the low-cost funding
provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the
cost of borrowing funds in the market, commonly
referred to as the core deposit intangible.
Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements and
Short-term Borrowings
The carrying amounts for securities sold under
repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings
approximate fair value.
Other Borrowings:
The fair value of other borrowings is based on the discounted
value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated
using the rates currently offered for
borrowings of similar maturities (in thousands):
Book Value Fair Value
31-Dec-99 $ 27,278 $ 26,888
31-Dec-98 $ 22,778 $ 22,903
Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of
Credit, and Financial Guarantees Written:
There is no material difference between the notional
amount and the estimated fair value of off-balance
sheet items at December 31, 1999 and 1998
respectively.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
There have been no material transactions between the
Corporation and the Bank, nor any material
transactions proposed, with any Director or executive
officer of the Corporation and the Bank, or any
associate of the foregoing persons. The Corporation
and the Bank have had, and intend to continue to have,
banking and financial transactions in the ordinary
course of business with Directors and Officers of the
Corporation and the Bank and their associates on
comparable terms and with similar interest rates as
those prevailing from time to time for other customers
of the Corporation and the Bank.
Total loans outstanding from the Bank at December 31,
1999 to the Corporation's and the Bank's Officers and
Directors as a group and members of their immediate
families and companies in which they had an ownership
interest of 10% or more was $5,810,000 or
approximately 17.47% of the total equity capital of
the Bank. Loans to such persons were made in the
ordinary course of business, were made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates
and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other persons, and did
not involve more than the normal risk of
collectability or present other unfavorable features.
