NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Citizens Financial Service, Inc., (individually and collectively, the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation organized as the holding company of its wholly owned subsidiary, First Citizens National Bank (the “Bank”), and its subsidiary, First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2005, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Note 2 - Earnings per Share

Earnings per share calculations give retroactive effect to stock dividends declared by the Company. The weighted average number of shares used in the earnings per share and dividends per share calculation was 2,840,257 for 2005 and 2,840,558 for 2004. The Company has no dilutive securities.

Note 3 - Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense is less than the amount calculated using the statutory tax rate, primarily the result of tax-exempt income earned from state and municipal securities and loans and investment in tax credits.

Note 4 - Employee Benefit Plans

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost - Defined Benefit Plans

For a detailed disclosure on the Company's pension and employee benefits plans, please refer to Note 8 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following sets forth the components of net periodic benefit costs of the defined benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively (dollars presented in thousands):

	Pension Benefits

	2005			2004
Service cost	$	68		$	84
Interest cost		60			74
Expected return on plan assets		(68	)		(83	)
Net amortization and deferral		6			6

Net periodic benefit cost	$	66		$	81

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, that it expected to contribute $412,000 to its defined benefit pension plan in 2005. As of March 31, 2005, no contributions have been made.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company also sponsors a defined contribution plan covering substantially all of its employees. The Company contributes three percent of applicable salaries into the plan. Through March 31, 2005, the Company contributed $51,000 into the defined contribution plan.

Note 5 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amends the compliance dates for Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS No. 123R). The Statement requires that compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions are recognized in financial statements and that this cost be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. FAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The Company will adopt FAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) on January 1, 2006 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s results of operations.

In December 2004, FASB issued FAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions”, is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. FAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of FAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement

Forward-looking statements may prove inaccurate. We have made forward-looking statements in this document, and in documents that we incorporate by reference, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of Citizens Financial Services, Inc., First Citizens National Bank, First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. or the combined company. When we use such words as "believes," "expects,” "anticipates," or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For a variety of reasons, actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by forward-looking statements. The Company would like to caution readers that the following important factors, among others, may have affected and could in the future affect the Company’s actual results and could cause the Company’s actual results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statement:

·	Interest rates could change more rapidly or more significantly than we expect.

·	The economy could change significantly in an unexpected way, which would cause the demand for new loans and the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans to change in ways that our models do not anticipate.

·	The stock and bond markets could suffer a significant disruption, which may have a negative effect on our financial condition and that of our borrowers, and on our ability to raise money by issuing new securities.

·	It could take us longer than we anticipate to implement strategic initiatives designed to increase revenues or manage expenses, or we may be unable to implement those initiatives at all.

·	Acquisitions and dispositions of assets could affect us in ways that management has not anticipated.

·	We may become subject to new legal obligations or the resolution of litigation may have a negative effect on our financial condition.

·	We may become subject to new and unanticipated accounting, tax, or regulatory practices, regulations or requirements, including the costs of compliance with such changes.

Introduction

The following is management's discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in its accompanying consolidated financial statements for Citizens Financial Service, Inc., a bank holding company and its subsidiary (the Company). Our Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of our wholly owned subsidiary’s (First Citizens National Bank) financial conditions and results of operations. Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the preceding March 31, 2005 financial information. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results you may expect for the full year.

Our Company currently engages in the general business of banking throughout our service area of Potter, Tioga and Bradford counties in North Central Pennsylvania and Allegany, Steuben, Chemung and Tioga counties in Southern New York. Our lending and deposit products and investment services are offered primarily within the vicinity of our service area.

The market area that First Citizens National Bank operates is rural in nature. The customer makeup consists of small businesses and individuals. The state of the economy in the region is mixed with unemployment rates generally running above the state average at this time.

Risk identification and management are essential elements for the successful management of the Company. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various types of risk including interest rate, credit and liquidity risk.

Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income and the market value of financial instruments to the direction and frequency of changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk results from various re-pricing frequencies and the maturity structure of the financial instruments owned by the Company. The Company uses its asset/liability management policy to control and manage interest rate risk.

Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk results from loans with customers and purchasing of securities. The Company’s primary credit risk is in the loan portfolio. The Company manages credit risk by adhering to an established credit policy and through a disciplined evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Also, the investment policy limits the amount of credit risk that may be taken in the investment portfolio.

Liquidity risk represents the inability to generate or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers and obligations to depositors. The Company has established guidelines within its asset/liability policy to manage liquidity risk. These guidelines include contingent funding alternatives.

Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents our Company files, from time to time, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed by our Company and any current reports on Form 8-K filed by our Company.

We face strong competition in the communities we serve from other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions, some of which are substantially larger institutions than our subsidiary. In addition, insurance companies, investment-counseling firms, and other business firms and individuals offer personal and corporate trust services. We also compete with credit unions, issuers of money market funds, securities brokerage firms, consumer finance companies and mortgage brokers. These entities are strong competitors for virtually all types of financial services.

In recent years, the financial services industry has experienced tremendous change to competitive barriers between bank and non-bank institutions. We not only must compete with traditional financial institutions, but also with other business corporations that have begun to deliver competing financial services. Competition for banking services is based on price, nature of product, quality of service, and in the case of certain activities, convenience of location.

Trust and Investment Services

Our Trust and Investment Department services range from professional estate settlement services through management of complex trust accounts to investment management and custody of securities. Our Trust and Investment Department manages retirement accounts for many area companies and individuals. We also manage many individual IRAs, both rollover and contributory.

The Investment Department offers full service brokerage services in selected locations throughout the Bank’s market area and appointments can be made in any First Citizens National Bank branch.

The Bank offers life and health insurance, as well as annuities through our insurance subsidiary, First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc.

Financial Condition

Total assets (shown in the Consolidated Balance Sheet) of $506.4 million have increased 1.4% since year-end 2004’s balance of $499.3 million. Net loans increased 2.5% to $364.8 million and investment securities decreased 1.2% to $94.6 million since year-end 2004. Total deposits decreased $5.9 million or 1.4% to $413.2 million since year-end 2004. Borrowed funds have increased $13.4 million to $48.4 million compared with $35.0 million at year-end. Explanations of variances will be described within the following appropriate sections.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $8,010,000 at March 31, 2005 compared to $9,339,000 on December 31, 2004. Noninterest-bearing cash decreased $1,252,000 since year-end 2004, while interest-bearing cash decreased $77,000 during that same period. We believe the liquidity needs of the Company, are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources, and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds will enable the Company to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due.

Investments

Our investment portfolio decreased by $1,136,000 or 1.2% from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. During the first quarter of 2005 we purchased approximately $4.7 million of municipal bonds. Offsetting this, we continued to receive principal repayments, totaling approximately $4.0 million in the first quarter, from our mortgaged backed securities portfolio. The overall market value of our investment portfolio has decreased approximately $1.6 million due to increases in overall interest rates and the direct affect on our investment portfolio.

Management continues to monitor the earnings performance and the effectiveness of the liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the securities portfolio, the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and various credit needs of its customers.

Loans

The Company’s lending is focused in the north central Pennsylvania market and the southern tier of New York. The composition of our loan portfolio consists principally of retail lending, which includes single-family residential mortgages and other consumer lending, and commercial lending primarily to locally owned small businesses. New loans are generated primarily from direct loans to our existing customer base, with new customers generated by referrals from real estate brokers, building contractors, attorneys, accountants and existing customers.

As shown in the tables below (dollars in thousands), total loans increased approximately $8.9 million or 2.5% during the first quarter of 2005. Municipal loans increased $8.2 million due primarily to the addition of one large municipal loan totaling approximately $10 million. Residential and commercial real estate loans increased $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Offsetting these were decreases in agricultural and construction real estate loans of $.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

We are cautiously optimistic that loan demand will increase for the remainder of the year. With last year’s acquisition of two branches from the Legacy Bank in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, we have increased our customer base and expect to expand upon those new relationships. Secondly, residential mortgage lending continues to be a principal business activity and one our Company expects to continue by providing a full complement of competitively priced conforming, nonconforming and home equity mortgages. Management has worked diligently on a program through Fannie Mae that would allow customers to construct residential homes through a one-closing process. Through this construction-to-permanent lending product, we hope to give our customers another avenue in which to meet their needs. We continue to emphasize branch office personnel training and the focus on flexibility and fast “turn around time” that will continue to aid in growing our loan portfolio. Finally, the Company’s team of strong, experienced business development officers enables us to meet the needs of commercial and agricultural customers within our service area.

Allowance For Loan Losses

As shown in the following table (dollars in thousands), the Allowance for Loan Losses as a percentage of loans decreased from 1.09% at December 31, 2004 to 1.05% at March 31, 2005. The dollar amount of the reserve decreased $63,000 since year-end 2004. The decrease is a result of no provision in the first three months less net charge-offs. Gross charge-offs for the first three months of 2005 were $73,000, while recoveries were $10,000.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subject to a formal analysis by management of the Company. Management deems the allowance to be adequate to absorb inherent losses probable in the portfolio, as of March 31, 2005. The Company has disclosed in its annual report on Form 10-K the process and methodology supporting the loan loss provision.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company has elected to purchase bank owned life insurance to offset future employee benefit costs. As of March 31, 2005 the cash surrender value of this life insurance is $7,523,000, an increase of $74,000 since year end. The use of life insurance policies provides the bank with an asset that will generate earnings to partially offset the current costs of benefits, and eventually (at the death of the insureds) provide partial recovery of cash outflows associated with the benefits.

Deposits

Traditional deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds for the Company. As shown in the following tables (dollars in thousands), deposits decreased $5,850,000 or 1.4%, since December 31, 2004. As of March 31, 2005, non-interest-bearing deposits decreased by $1,224,000, while NOW accounts decreased by $5,663,000. $4.5 million of this decrease is attributable to a temporary deposit as of December 31, 2004 that was subsequently moved early in 2005. Certificates of deposit declined slightly, while savings and Money Market accounts grew by 5.1% and 1.9%, respectively.

Borrowed Funds

Borrowed funds increased $13,392,000 during the first three months of 2005. The funding of the aforementioned large municipal loan and the purchase of $4.7 million of investment securities were the primary reasons for the overall increase in borrowed funds. The Company's daily cash requirements or short-term investments are met by using the financial instruments available through the Federal Home Loan Bank.

In December 2003, the Company formed a special purpose entity, Citizens Financial Statutory Trust I (“the Entity”), to issue $7,500,000 of floating rate obligated mandatory redeemable securities as part of a pooled offering. The rate is determined quarterly and floats based on the 3 month LIBOR plus 2.80%. At March 31, 2005, the rate was 5.83%. The Entity may redeem them, in whole or in part, at face value after December 17, 2008. The Company borrowed the proceeds of the issuance from the Entity in December 2003 in the form of a $7,500,000 note payable, which is included within borrowed funds in the liabilities section of the Company’s balance sheet. Under current accounting rules, the Company’s minority interest in the Entity was recorded at the initial investment amount and is included in the other assets section of the balance sheet. The Entity is not consolidated as part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Stockholder’s Equity

We evaluate stockholders’ equity in relation to total assets and the risks associated with those assets. The greater the capital resource, the more likely a corporation is to meet its cash obligations and absorb unforeseen losses. For these reasons, capital adequacy has been, and will continue to be, of paramount importance.

Total Stockholders’ Equity was $40,390,000, at March 31, 2005 compared to $40,789,000, at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $399,000 or 1.0%. Excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, stockholder’s equity increased $699,000, or 1.7%. In the first three months, the Company had net income of $1,267,000 and declared dividends of $568,000, representing a dividend payout ratio of 44.8%.

All of the Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale making this portion of the Company’s balance sheet more sensitive to the changing market value of investments. Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $1,098,000 compared to December 31, 2004 as a result of interest rate movements.

The Company has also complied with standards of being well capitalized mandated by the banking regulators. The Company’s primary regulators have established “risk-based” capital requirements designed to measure capital adequacy. Risk-based capital ratios reflect the relative risks associated with various assets entities hold in their portfolios. A weight category of 0% (lowest risk assets), 20%, 50%, or 100% (highest risk assets), is assigned to each asset on the balance sheet. The Company’s computed risk-based capital ratios are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	March 31,					December 31,
	2005					2004
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
Company	$	42,764		12.91	%	$	42,156		12.86	%

On April 4, 2001, our Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 establishing a Dividend Re-Investment Plan (DRIP), which was effective for the second quarter dividend in 2001. As of March 31, 2005 we have 423 shareholders participating representing 324,582 shares and the total number of shares purchased since the inception of the plan is 27,361.

Off Balance Sheet Activities

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk was as follows at March 31, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Commitments to extend credit	$	58,221
Standby letters of credit		1,581

Results of Operations

Overview of the Income Statement

The Company had net income of $1,267,000 for the first three months of 2005 compared with earnings of $1,493,000 for the first three months of 2004, a decrease of $226,000. Earnings per share for the first three months of 2005 were $0.45, compared to $.53 for the comparable period in 2004. The return on assets and the return on equity, for the three months of 2005, were 1.01% and 12.41%, respectively. Details of the reasons for this change are discussed on the following pages.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the most significant component of earnings, is the amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income, for the first quarter of 2005, after provision for loan losses, was $4,333,000, an increase of $118,000, compared to the same period in 2004. The Bank experienced an increase in average earning assets since March 31, 2004 of 9.5%, which came primarily from our continued efforts to grow our existing offices as well as the Legacy branch acquisition.

The following table sets forth the average balances of, and the interest earned or incurred on, each principal category of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity, the related rates, net interest income and rate “spread” created:

We are currently experiencing a compression of our interest margin over the first three months of 2005 compared to the same time periods in 2004 and 2003 due to the flattening of the yield curve. While short-term interest rates have increased nearly 175 basis points since last June, long-term rates have remained relatively stable. As such, our cost of funds (interest paid on deposits and borrowings) has increased while the rates earned on interest bearing assets have remained relatively flat. As the yield curve becomes steeper, away from a flatter yield curve, we would anticipate our interest margin to improve. We continue to review various pricing and investment strategies to enhance deposit growth while maintaining or improving the current interest margin.

The following table shows the effect of changes in volume and rate on interest income and expense. Tax-exempt interest revenue is shown on a tax-equivalent basis for proper comparison using a statutory federal income tax rate of 34%:

(1) The portion of the total change attributable to both volume and rate changes during the year has been allocated
to volume and rate components based upon the absolute dollar amount of the change in each component prior to allocation.

As can be seen from the preceding tables, tax equivalent net interest income rose from $4,456,000 in 2003 to $4,468,000 in 2004, and increased to $4,590,000, in 2005. In the period ending March 31, 2005, net interest income increased $122,000 on a tax equivalent basis over the same period in 2004. The overall spread decreased from 4.01% to 3.74%, respectively. The increased volume of interest-earning assets generated an increase in interest income of $949,000 while the increased volume of interest-bearing liabilities produced an additional $261,000 of interest expense. The change in volume resulted in an increase of $688,000 in net interest income. The net change in rate resulted in a negative $566,000 of net interest income. Combined, there was a total positive net change of $122,000 in net interest income. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 12 basis points from 6.36% to 6.24% and the average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased 15 basis points, from 2.35% to 2.50%, because of the previously described flattening of the yield curve.

Provision For Loan Losses

For the three-month period ending March 31, 2005, we did not provide any provision as a result of our quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses. Management's quarterly review of the allowance for loan losses is based on the following information: migration analysis of delinquent and non-accrual loans, estimated future losses on loans, recent review of large problem credits, local and national economic conditions, historical loss experience, OCC qualitative adjustments and peer comparisons.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income as detailed below decreased $286,000 or 20.5%, for the first three months of 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. Most of the decrease is attributable to the lack of investment securities gains. Through the first quarter of 2005, we have not recognized any gains, compared with $287,000 of gains realized in the first quarter of 2004. Service charge income continues to be the primary source of non-interest income. For the first three months, account service charges totaled $673,000 compared to $731,000 last year. Most of this is attributable to the loss of several large customer accounts. Brokerage income is down $16,000 from last year and insurance revenue is up $55,000 from 2004 due to more customers choosing annuity products over mutual funds.

The following table shows the breakdown of non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (dollars in thousands):

	Three months ended
	March 31,				Change
	2005		2004		Amount%

Other		111		81		30		37.0
Total	$	1,110	$	1,396	$	(286	)	(20.5	)

We continue to evaluate means of increasing non-interest income. Our approach is to apply service charges on business transaction accounts by charging fees on transaction activity, reduced by earnings credit based on customers' balances, to more equitably recover costs. We continue to analyze our schedule of fees based on competitive analyses and other opportunities to enhance non-interest income.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense, as detailed below, increased $160,000 or 4.4%, for the first three months of 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in amortization of $35,000 is due to an increase in the core deposit intangible related to the Legacy branch acquisition. Other expenses, including the loss on sale of assets of approximately $27,000, increased $115,000.

The following tables reflect the breakdown of non-interest expense and professional fees as of March 31, 2005 and 2004(dollars in thousands):

Provision For Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $345,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $447,000 for the same period in 2004. The decrease was primarily a result of decreased taxable income.

We have entered into two limited partnership agreements to establish low-income housing projects in our market area. As a result of these agreements for tax purposes, we have recognized $410,900 out of a total $911,000 from one project and $125,100 out of a total $385,000 on the second project, which was completed in November 2001. A total of approximately $1,290,000 of tax credits is anticipated over a ten-year period.

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of our Company's ability to efficiently meet normal cash flow requirements of both borrowers and depositors. To maintain proper liquidity, we use funds management policies along with our investment policies to assure we can meet our financial obligations to depositors, credit customers and stockholders. Liquidity is needed to meet depositors' withdrawal demands, extend credit to meet borrowers' needs, provide funds for normal operating expenses and cash dividends, and to fund other capital expenditures.

Our Company's historical activity in this area can be seen in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows from investing and financing activities.

Cash generated by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities influences liquidity management. The most important source of funds is the deposits that are primarily core deposits (deposits from customers with other relationships). Short-term debt from the Federal Home Loan Bank supplements our Company's availability of funds. Another source of short-term liquidity is the sale of loans if needed.

Our Company's use of funds is shown in the investing activity section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, where the net loan activity is presented. Other significant uses of funds include purchasing Regulatory Stock, as well as the purchase of capital expenditures. Surplus funds are then invested in investment securities.

Capital expenditures during the first three months of 2005 were $80,000, $42,000 more than the same period in 2004.

Our Company achieves additional liquidity primarily from temporary or short-term investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, PA, and investments that mature in less than one year. The Company also has a maximum borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of approximately $203 million as an additional source of liquidity.

Apart from those matters described above, management does not currently believe that there are any current trends, events or uncertainties that would have a material impact on capital.

Interest does not accrue on non-accrual loans. Subsequent cash payments received are applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending upon management's assessment of its ultimate ability to collect principal and interest.

Interest Rate and Market Risk Management

The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to maintain an appropriate balance between the stable growth of income and the risks associated with maximizing income through interest sensitivity imbalances and the market value risk of assets and liabilities.

Because of the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk and, since our Company has no trading portfolio, it is not subject to trading risk.

Currently, our Company has equity securities that represent only 3.3% of our investment portfolio and, therefore, equity risk is not significant.

The primary components of interest-sensitive assets include adjustable-rate loans and investments, loan repayments, investment maturities and money market investments. The primary components of interest-sensitive liabilities include maturing certificates of deposit, IRA certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings. Savings deposits, NOW accounts and money market investor accounts are considered core deposits and are not short-term interest sensitive (except for the top-tier money market investor accounts which are paid current market interest rates).

Gap analysis, one of the methods used by us to analyze interest rate risk, does not necessarily show the precise impact of specific interest rate movements on our Company's net interest income because the re-pricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competitive and other pressures. In addition, assets and liabilities within the same period may, in fact, be repaid at different times and at different rate levels. We have not experienced the kind of earnings volatility that might be indicated from gap analysis.

Our Company currently uses a computer simulation model to better measure the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income. We use the model as part of our risk management process that will effectively identify, measure, and monitor our Company's risk exposure.

We use numerous interest rate simulations employing a variety of assumptions to evaluate our interest rate risk exposure. A shock analysis during the first quarter of 2005 indicated that a 200 basis point movement in interest rates in either direction would have a minor impact on our Company's anticipated net interest income over the next twenty-four months, well within our ability to manage effectively. The simulation model assumed a 200 basis point movement, however not necessarily in a parallel manner. Various assumptions, including a flattened yield curve, were utilized resulting in a more realistic interest rate scenario in order to assess risks.

General

The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of total assets and on non-interest expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation. The action by the Federal Reserve of increasing short-term interest rates will help ensure that the level of inflation remains at a relatively low level.

Various congressional bills have been passed and other proposals have been made for significant changes to the banking system, including provisions for: limitation on deposit insurance coverage; changing the timing and method financial institutions use to pay for deposit insurance; and tightening the regulation of bank derivatives' activities.

Aside from those matters described above, we do not believe that there are any trends, events or uncertainties, which would have a material adverse impact on future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. We are not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities (except as described herein) which, if they were to be implemented, would have such an effect, although the general cost of compliance with numerous and multiple federal and state laws and regulations does have, and in the future may have, a negative impact on our Company's results of operations.

Item 3-Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

In the normal course of conducting business activities, the Company is exposed to market risk, principally interest rate risk, through the operations of its banking subsidiary. Interest rate risk arises from market driven fluctuations in interest rates that affect cash flows, income, expense and values of financial instruments and was discussed previously in this Form 10-Q. Management and a committee of the board of directors manage interest rate risk.

No material changes in market risk strategy occurred during the current period. A detailed discussion of market risk is provided in the SEC Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004.

Item 4-Control and Procedures

We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made to our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
