Quarterly Report On Form 10-Q

For The Quarter Ended September 30, 2003

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, was $1,013,892, or $9.35 per share, a decrease of $197,186 or 16%, compared to $1,211,078, or $11.15 per share, for the corresponding period in 2002. This decrease was the result of lower net interest income and higher noninterest expenses, which more than offset decreases in the provision for loan losses and income tax expense and higher noninterest income.

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, was $3,244,947, a decrease of $250,958 over the corresponding period in the prior year. The following table sets forth a summary of

the changes in interest earned and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and changes in rates:

This decrease was primarily attributable to the lower average net interest rate spread, which fell from 3.85% during the third quarter of 2002 to 3.58% during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The Company's yield on earning assets was 5.81% during the third quarter of 2003 compared to 6.71% during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The average cost of funds was 2.23% during the third quarter of 2003, a decrease of 63 basis points compared to the quarter ended September 30 , 2002.

In the third quarter of 2003 the Company's provision for credit losses was $87,000 compared to $186,000 for the third quarter of 2002. Net charge-offs were $252,247 in the third quarter of 2003 compared to net charge-offs of $204,797 during the corresponding period in the prior year.

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2003, was $616,530, an increase of $106,470 over the corresponding period in 2002. Gains from the sales of residential real estate loans increased by $132,678 during the third quarter of 2003. The Bank sold $22.7 million of mortgage loans in the third quarter of 2003 compared to $9.7 million during the second quarter of 2002. Other noninterest income was $136,540, a decrease of $17,981 compared to the third quarter of 2002. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the gains on the sale of acquired properties, which more than offset an increase in income from bank owned life insurance contracts that were acquired during the second quarter of 2003. Gains from the sales of acquired properties were $68,806 during the third quarter of 2002. Increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance contracts totaled $56,800 during the third quarter of 2003.

Noninterest expense increased by $254,868 or 12% during the three months ended September 30, 2003, over the corresponding period in 2002. Salaries and benefits expense increased $68,573 or 5% over the corresponding period in 2002. This increase is the result of higher salaries and wages, which increased by $27,297 or 3% primarily as a result of regular salary increases and higher group health insurance expenses, which increased by $30,969 or 14%. Directors' fees increased $25,400 over the corresponding period in 2002. The increase was the result of a $500 increase in the annual fees paid in September to each director of the Company, the Bank and DACC. During 2002, the annual fees (including a projected $500 increase) were accrued for throughout the year but the Board of Directors decided to not increase the fee amount and consequently a credit to expense was made during the third quarter to reverse the accrual.

Data processing expenses increased by $38,615 primarily as a result of one-time expenses related to a conversion of the Bank's ATM's to triple data encryption standard and encrypted PIN pads. All ATM's affiliated with the Visa or MasterCard network must comply with these encryption requirements by 2005. At the same time the Bank converted its ATM's to a different processor and incurred one-time fees associated with this conversion.

Other operating expenses increased by $122,592 during the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the third quarter of 2002. Losses from the sales of acquired properties totaled $34,490 during the third quarter of 2003. Printing and supplies expenses increased by $33,164 primarily as a result of costs associated with the Wrightstown branch office that opened during August 2003. Professional and legal fees increased by $28,389 primarily as a result of fees incurred to establish the new Wrightstown branch and for the application costs associated with a second Wrightstown branch office, which has received regulatory approval. The Company intends to begin construction of a full service banking facility at this second Wrightstown site during the fourth quarter of 2003. The Bank incurred $19,681 in expenses related to acquired properties during the third quarter of 2003. These expenses included real estate taxes, insurance and repairs and maintenance. The Bank acquired two prop erties during the quarter and sold three properties. As of September 30, 2003, the Bank holds three acquired properties with a carrying value of $1.1 million.

Return on average assets in the third quarter of 2003 was 1.15%, compared to 1.42% for the corresponding period in 2002. Return on average equity in the third of 2003 was 10.6%, compared to 13.7% for the corresponding period in the prior year.

Total assets increased by $4,701,568 between December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2003. Interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased by $4.0 million. The Bank purchased a $4 million short-term certificate of deposit that yields a higher rate of interest compared to federal funds sold. Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased by $5.2 million during the first nine months of 2003. The Bank sold $54.2 million of fixed rate mortgages to the secondary mortgage market. Other assets increased $5.6 million during the first nine months. The Bank purchased $5 million of bank owned life insurance contracts during the second quarter. Total deposits increased by $3.0 million during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003.

The following table sets forth major types of loans (excluding loans held for sale) by primary collateral and the percentage of total loans for each type:

Loans secured by residential properties declined by $8.8 million during the first nine months as borrowers continue to choose fixed rate loans for fifteen or thirty years during this historically low interest rate environment. The Bank sells substantially all of these fixed rate mortgage loans to the secondary mortgage market. During the first nine months, several agricultural borrowers secured their loans with real estate in order to lengthen the amortization period and reduce the payment amount. This resulted in an increase in agricultural loans secured by real estate and a decrease in other agricultural loans.

The allowance for credit losses increased by $155,795 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. The allowance equals 2.17% of total loans at September 30, 2003, compared to 2.06% at December 31, 2002. Nonaccrual loans totaled $5,581,614 at September 30, 2003, a decrease of $508,878 compared to December 31, 2002. The Company's ratio of loans more than 30 days past due (including nonaccrual loans) to total loans was 4.05% at September 30, 2003, compared to 3.87% at December 31, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, management has identified $14.9 million of potential problem loans compared to $13.9 million at year-end. Potential problem loans are loans that are performing but have a greater risk of nonperformance.

The Company has no accruing loans that are past due 90 days or more. The Bank's policy is to place in nonaccrual status all loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to any payment of principal or interest and all other loans as to which reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal based on management's view of the financial condition of the borrower. Previously accrued but uncollected interest on loans placed on nonaccrual status is charged against the current earnings, and interest income thereafter is recorded only when received.

The following table sets forth certain data concerning nonaccrual loans, past due accruing loans, restructured loans and other real estate (property acquired through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans):

Demand deposits decreased $2,124,278 or 6.8% during the first nine months of 2003. The decrease in demand deposits is attributable to a normal seasonal fluctuation. Interest bearing deposits increased by $5,116,743 or 2.3% between December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2003.

Stockholders' equity increased by $2,104,716 to $38,254,300 as of September 30, 2003. As of September 30, 2003, the Company's leverage ratio was 10.4%, the risk-based core capital ratio was 14.0% and the risk-based total capital ratio was 15.3%. The Company and the Bank continue to maintain capital levels well above the regulatory minimum levels.

Liquidity refers to the ability of the Company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the Company's needs for cash. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,397,107 during the first nine months of 2003. The major sources and uses of cash are detailed in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The federal funds sold totaling $13.0 million and the available-for-sale investment portfolio amounting to $15.2 million as of September 30, 2003, are readily convertible to cash if needed for liquidity purposes.

In addition to on-balance sheet sources of funds the Company also has off-balance sheet sources available to meet liquidity needs. The Company has unused lines of credit of $36.8 million as of September 30, 2003. Management believes the Company's liquidity position as of September 30, 2003, is adequate under current economic conditions.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties 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 letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company and its subsidiaries have in particular classes of financial instruments.

The exposure of the Company and its subsidiaries to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of these instruments. The Company and its subsidiaries use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company and its subsidiaries require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

The following table sets forth the Companys commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company and its subsidiaries evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support commercial business transactions. When a customer fails to perform according to the terms of the agreement, the bank honors drafts drawn by the third party in amounts up to the contract amount. A majority of the letters of credit expire within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties and residential properties. All letters of credit are fully collateralized.

The Company's common stock offering of 10,850 shares was substantially oversubscribed. On November 4, 2003, the Board of Directors authorized the sale of an additional 2,000 shares, then held in treasury, in order to satisfy some portion of the oversubscribed amount. The offering period ended on

October 31, and the Company expects that the stock sales will be closed during November. The net proceeds of the offering, totaling $9.3 million will be used to payoff the Company's outstanding line of credit of $4.7 million. The remaining proceeds will be used for the branch office construction in Wrightstown estimated to cost $1.5 million and for future working capital purposes.

The Company's primary market risk position has not materially changed from that disclosed in the Company's 2002 Form 10-K/A Annual Report.

The Company's management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures prior to the filing date of this report. Based on that evaluation, management believes that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of management's evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
