(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair
presentation have been included. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of East Penn Bank (the "bank") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, East Penn Mortgage Company, with all significant intercompany
accounts and transactions eliminated.
Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003, are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the bank's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
2. Formation of Bank Holding Company
In November 2002, the Board of Directors of the bank approved the
formation of a bank holding company to be named East Penn Financial
Corporation. The formation of the holding company is subject to regulatory
and stockholder approval and is expected to become effective during the
second or third quarter of 2003. Once the holding company is formed, the
bank will merge and reorganize as a wholly owned subsidiary of the bank
holding company.

5. Stock Option Plan
The bank has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". Accordingly, no compensation costs have been recognized
for options granted in 2003 and 2002. Had compensation costs for stock
options granted been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates
for awards under the plan consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123,
the bank's net income and earnings per share for the quarters ended March
31, 2003 and 2002, would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
indicated below:
Three Months Ended March 31,

6. New Accounting Standards
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others." This Interpretation expands the disclosures to be
made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under
certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for
the fair value of an obligation assumed under certain specified guarantees.
FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies." In general, FIN 45 applies to contracts or indemnification
Page 15 of 34
agreements that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the
guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying that is related to an
asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed party, which would
include standby letters of credit. Certain guarantee contracts are excluded
from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of this
Interpretation, including, among others, guarantees related to commercial
letters of credit and loan commitments. The disclosure requirements of FIN
45 require disclosure of the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential
amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make
under the guarantee and the current amount of the liability, if any, for
the guarantor's obligations under the guarantee. The accounting recognition
requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued
or modified after December 31, 2002. Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a
significant impact on the bank's financial condition or results of
operations.
Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments
issued by the bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. The bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
the other party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit
is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The bank had
$649,000 of standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2003. The bank uses
the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance sheet instruments.
The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next
nine months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments.
The bank requires collateral supporting these letters of credit as deemed
necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a
liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum
potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding
guarantees. The amount of the liability as of March 31, 2003 for guarantees
under standby letters of credit issued after December 31, 2002 is not
material.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 149, "Amendment of Statement No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement clarifies
the definition of a derivative and incorporates certain decisions made by
the board as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process. This
State-ment is effective for contracts entered into or modified, and for
hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, and should be applied
prospectively. The provisions of the statement that relate to
implementation issues addressed by the Derivatives Implementation Group
that have been effective should continue to be applied in accordance with
their respective effective dates. Adoption of this standard is not expected
to have a significant impact on the bank's financial condition or results
of operations.
7. Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 2002 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2003 presentation format. Such
reclassifications had no impact on the bank's net income.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of the significant
changes in the consolidated results of operations, capital resources and
liquidity presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements for East Penn Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, East Penn
Mortgage Company. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
preceding consolidated financial statements and related footnotes as well as
with the bank's December 31, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Current
performance does not guarantee and may not be indicative of similar performance
in the future.
In addition to historical information, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q
contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in
this report are subject to certain risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Because
of the possibility of change in the underlying assumptions, actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Additional factors that might cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to:
- - operating, legal and regulatory risks,
- - economic, political and competitive forces affecting the bank's services,
and
- - the risk that management's analyses of these risks could be incorrect
and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.
The bank's forward-looking statements are relevant only as of the date on
which the statements are made. By making forward-looking statements, the bank
assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changing or unanticipated events
or circumstances. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in
other periodic reports and public documents that the bank files from time to
time with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Disclosure of the bank's significant accounting policies is included in
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the bank's Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2002. Some of these policies are
particularly sensitive requiring significant judgments, estimates and
assumptions to be made by management. Additional information is contained on
pages 11 and 13 of this report for the provision and allowance for loan losses.
OVERVIEW
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was $588,000
and $462,000, respectively. This increase of $126,000, or 27.3%, is due in part
to an increase of 16.9% in net interest income and a 19.6% increase in the
bank's non-interest income, primarily due to an increase in customer service
fees and fees from mortgage banking activities. On a basic and diluted per share
basis, net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $0.09,
respectively, as compared with $0.07 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Net income as a percentage of average assets on an annualized basis, also known
as return on average assets, increased by 10.3%, to .86% for the first three
months of 2003 from .78% for the first three months of 2002 as a result of the
increase in net income. Net income as a percentage of total average
stockholders' equity on an annualized basis, also known as return on average
equity, was 11.82% and 11.17% for the first three months of 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
During the first three months of 2003, the bank's assets grew $11,125,000,
or 4.1%, to $283,202,000 as of March 31, 2003 from $272,077,000 as of December
31, 2002. This is primarily attributable to growth in cash and cash equivalents
of $5,774,000, or 37.0%, loan growth, which increased $1,884,000, or 1.1%, and
investment security growth of $2,263,000, or 3.6%, during the first three months
of 2003.
The bank's asset growth was funded primarily by deposit growth. Total
deposits increased by $12,844,000, or 5.3%, during the first three months of
Page 17 of 34
2003 to $256,484,000 as of March 31, 2003 from $243,640,000 as of December 31,
2002. This compares to an increase of $15,400,000, or 7.5%, to $222,036,000
during the same period in 2002.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, total interest income increased
by $63,000, or 1.8%, to $3,571,000 as compared with $3,508,000 for the three
months ended March 30, 2002. This increase is primarily the result of the
increase in average interest-earning assets, which increased $31,396,000, or
14.1%, to $254,142,000 as of March 31, 2003 from $222,746,000 as of March 31,
2002. The increase in average interest-earning assets is attributable to average
loan growth of 14.6% and average securities growth of 8.4% for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as compared with the same period in 2002. While the yield
on the average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.70% for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 from 6.39% for the same period in 2002 as a result of
declining interest rates, the overall growth in average interest-earning assets
helped to minimize the yield compression impact on total interest income.
Total interest expense decreased by $282,000, or 19.3%, to $1,182,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $1,464,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002. This decrease is generally attributable to the decline in
interest rates even though average interest bearing liabilities increased
$24,857,000, or 12.6%, to $221,517,000 for the first three months of 2003 from
$196,660,000 for the first three months of 2002. Cost of funds decreased to
2.16% for the first three months of 2003, as compared to 3.02% for the same
period in 2002.
Net interest income increased by $345,000, or 16.9%, to $2,389,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 from $2,044,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002. The bank's net interest rate spread increased to 3.53% for the
first three months of 2003 from 3.37% for the first three months in 2002. The
net interest margin increased to 3.81% from 3.72% for the three month periods
ending March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During 2003, the bank was able to
improve its net interest rate spread and net interest margin by managing the
growth and pricing of its interest sensitive assets and liabilities. This
process resulted in the bank's cost of funds for interest bearing liabilities to
decline at a quicker pace than the yields derived from interest earning assets.
Provision for Loan Losses
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the provision for loan losses
was $114,000, an increase of $27,000, or 31.0%, as compared with $87,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in the provision was to ensure
that the loan loss provision remained in line with loan growth, in general, and
the inherent higher level of credit risk associated with commercial borrowings,
which increased 15.8% to $113,122,000 at March 31, 2003 from $97,709,000 at
March 31, 2002.
The allowance for loans losses represented 1.27% of gross loans at March
31, 2003 as compared with 1.22% as of December 31, 2002 and 1.18% as of March
31, 2002. Management regularly assesses the adequacy of the loan loss reserve in
relation to credit exposure associated with individual borrowers, overall trends
in the loan portfolio and other relevant factors, and believes the reserve is
reasonable and adequate for the periods presented.
Other Income
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased by
$74,000, or 19.6%, to $451,000 from $377,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2002. This increase is due to a $37,000 increase in customer service fees,
an increase of $9,000 in other income, and a $32,000 increase in mortgage
banking fees associated with the increased volume of mortgages originated by the
bank and sold in the secondary market, offset by a decrease of $4,000 in income
from bank owned life insurance.
Other Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, other expenses, which include
salary, occupancy, equipment and all other expenses incidental to the operation
of the bank, increased $196,000, or 11.2%, to $1,950,000 from $1,754,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002. The impact of the increase was minimized as a
Page 18 of 34
result of management's ongoing efforts to control other expenses as the bank
continues to grow.
Salary expenses and related employee benefits, which make up the largest
component of other expenses, were $1,090,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2003, an increase of $120,000, or 12.4%, as compared with $970,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase is attributable to staff
additions, normal salary increases and increased medical benefit costs.
Occupancy expenses for the first three months of 2003 increased $26,000, or
18.4%, to $167,000 from $141,000 for the first three months of 2002. The
increase is associated with snow removal costs and other normal expense
increases.
Equipment expenses decreased $6,000, or 3.6%, to $163,000 for the first
three months of 2003 from $169,000 for the first three months of 2002. This
decrease is due to the buyout of equipment leases at the time of their
respective renewals and the bank's continued efforts to reduce expenses.
Other operating expenses increased $56,000, or 11.8%, to $530,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 from $474,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2002 as a result of the bank's growth.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the tax provision was $188,000
(effective tax rate of 24.2%) as compared with $118,000 (effective tax rate of
20.3%) for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This increase of $70,000, or
59.3%, and the increase in the effective tax rate, were the result of achieving
a higher level of pre-tax net income with a level amount of tax-exempt income.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $588,000, an
increase of $126,000, or 27.3%, as compared with $462,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2002. This increase in net income is the result of increases of
$345,000 in net interest income and $74,000 in other income, which offset the
increases of $27,000 in the provision for loan losses, $196,000 in other
expenses and $70,000 in taxes. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 was $0.09 as compared with $0.07 for the three
months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in net income was attributable to
declining rates, where the expense associated with interest sensitive
liabilities had decreased at a faster pace than the income derived from interest
sensitive assets, and an increase in other income, primarily derived from
increased customer service fees.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Securities
The bank's securities portfolio is comprised of securities, which not only
provide interest income, including tax-exempt income, but also provide a source
of liquidity, diversify the earning assets portfolio, allow for the management
of risk and tax liability, and provide collateral for repurchase agreements and
public fund deposits. Policies are in place to address various aspects of
managing the portfolio, including but not limited to, concentrations, liquidity,
credit quality, interest rate sensitivity and regulatory guidelines. Adherence
to these policies is monitored by the bank's Asset/Liability Committee on a
monthly basis.
Although the bank generally intends to hold its securities portfolio to
maturity, a significant portion of the securities portfolio is classified as
available for sale, with new purchases generally categorized as available for
sale. Securities in the available for sale category are accounted for at fair
value with unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of tax, reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Securities in the held to maturity
category are accounted for at amortized cost. The bank invests in securities for
the yield they produce and not to profit from trading. The bank holds no trading
securities in its portfolio.
The securities portfolio at March 31, 2003 amounted to $66,492,000,
compared to $64,229,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $2,263,000, or
3.5%. The growth was attributable to the bank's increased liquidity. Securities
available for sale increased to $64,684,000 at March 31, 2003 from $62,421,000
Page 19 of 34
at December 31, 2002, while securities held to maturity was $1,808,000 at March
31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
The carrying value of the available for sale portion of the portfolio at
March 31, 2003 includes an unrealized gain of $1,629,000 (reflected as
accumulated other comprehensive income of $1,075,000 in stockholders' equity,
net of deferred income tax liability of $554,000). This compares with an
unrealized gain at December 31, 2002 of $1,286,000 (reflected as accumulated
other comprehensive income of $849,000 in stockholders' equity, net of deferred
income tax liability of $437,000).
Loans
The loan portfolio comprises the major component of the bank's earning
assets. Gross loans receivable, net of unearned fees and origination costs,
increased by $1,884,000, or 1.1%, to $178,871,000 at March 31, 2003 from
$176,987,000 at December 31, 2002. Loans represented 69.7% of total deposits at
March 31, 2003 as compared to 72.6% at December 31, 2002.
Credit Risk and Loan Quality
The bank continues to be prudent in its efforts to minimize credit risk.
The bank's written lending policy requires underwriting, loan documentation and
credit analysis standards to be met prior to the approval and funding of any
loan. In accordance with that policy, the internal loan review process monitors
the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. The Credit Administration area then
prepares an analysis of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis,
which is then submitted to the board of directors for its assessment as to the
adequacy of the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is an accumulation of
expenses that has been charged against past and present earnings in anticipation
of potential losses in the loan portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 was
$2,270,000 and $2,167,000, respectively, as compared to $1,929,000 at March 31,
2002. The increase in the allowance was attributable, in part, to the growth of
the loan portfolio and the shift in the loan mix, where there was growth in
commercial borrowings, which generally carry a higher level of credit risk. At
March 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.27% of the gross
loan portfolio, as compared with 1.22% at December 31, 2002. This compares to
1.18% at March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2003, management believes the allowance
for loan loss reserve to be reasonable and adequate to meet potential losses.
Table 1 - "Analysis of Allowance for Loan Loss" - details the activity,
which occurred in the allowance over the first three months of 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

The bank's lending policy is executed through the assignment of tiered loan
limit authorities to individual officers of the bank, the officer's loan
committee, the board loan committee and the board of directors. Although the
bank maintains sound credit policies, certain loans may deteriorate for a
variety of reasons. The bank's policy is to place all loans on a non-accrual
Page 20 of 34
status upon becoming 90 days delinquent in their payments, unless there is a
documented, reasonable expectation of the collection of the delinquent amount.
Loans are reviewed monthly as to their status, and on a quarterly basis, a Watch
List of potentially troubled loans is prepared and presented to the board of
directors. Management is not aware of any material potential loan problems that
have not been disclosed in this report.

At March 31, 2003, the bank had other real estate owned as acquired through
foreclosure, in the amount of $279,000, which decreased $80,000, from $359,000
at December 31, 2002 as a result of the sale of one residential property loan.
The bank expects to dispose of the remaining properties with minimal or no loss.
Loan concentrations are considered to exist when the total amount of loans
to any one or a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities or
having similar characteristics exceeds 10% of loans outstanding in any one
category. At March 31, 2003, residential real estate loans amounted to
$30,457,000, or 17.0% of total loans, and commercial real estate loans amounted
to $51,392,000, or 28.7% of total loans. Although these loans were not made to
any one specific borrower or industry, the quality of these loans is affected by
the region's economy and the real estate market. The majority of the bank's
lending is made within its primary market area, which includes Emmaus and the
East Penn community in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
The bank has bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") for a chosen group of
employees, namely its officers, where the bank is the owner and beneficiary of
the policies. The bank's deposits funded the BOLI and the earnings from the BOLI
are recognized as other income. The BOLI is profitable from the appreciation
of the cash surrender values of the pool of insurance, and its tax advantage to
the bank. This profitability is used to offset a portion of current and future
employee benefit costs and a Nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
for its chief executive officer.
The bank had $5,228,000 and $5,163,000 in BOLI as of March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, respectively. Although the BOLI is an asset that may be
liquidated, it is the bank's intention to hold this pool of insurance because it
provides tax-exempt income that enhances the bank's capital position.
Deposits
Deposits are the major source of the bank's funds for lending and
investment purposes. Total deposits at March 31, 2003 were $256,484,000, an
increase of $12,844,000, or 5.3%, from total deposits of $243,640,000 at
December 31, 2002.
Page 21 OF 34
Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase
There were no outstanding federal funds purchased at March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, respectively. The bank has a $4,000,000 federal funds line of
credit with its main correspondent bank, Atlantic Central Bankers Bank, Camp
Hill, Pennsylvania ("ACBB").
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $5,248,000 at March 31,
2003 as compared to $7,829,000 at December 31, 2002. Securities sold under
agreements to repurchase generally mature in one business day and roll over
under a continuing contract.
Other Borrowed Funds
The bank had no short-term or long-term debt outstanding balances as of
March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
In addition to the bank's federal funds line of credit with its main
correspondent bank, the bank also has a maximum borrowing capacity of
approximately $94,161,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh
("FHLB").
Asset/Liability Management
The management of interest rate risk involves measuring and analyzing the
maturity and repricing of interest-earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities at specific points in time. The imbalance between interest-earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities is commonly referred to as the interest
rate gap. The interest rate gap is one measure of the risk inherent in the
existing balance sheet as it relates to potential changes in net interest
income. Maintaining an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities is a means of monitoring and possibly avoiding
material fluctuations in the net interest margin during periods of changing
interest rates.
The bank's overall sensitivity to interest rate risk is low due to its
non-complex balance sheet. The bank manages its balance sheet with the intent of
stabilizing net interest income and net economic value under a broad range of
interest rate environments. The bank has the ability to effect various
strategies to manage interest rate risk, which include, but are not limited to,
selling newly originated residential mortgage loans, controlling the volume mix
of fixed/variable rate commercial loans and securities, increasing/ decreasing
deposits via interest rate changes, borrowing from the FHLB, and buying/selling
securities. Adjustments to the mix of assets and liabilities are made
periodically in an effort to give the bank dependable and steady growth in net
interest income, while at the same time, managing the related risks.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the bank's ability to efficiently manage cash flows at
reasonable rates to support possible commitments to borrowers or the demands of
depositors. Liquidity is essential to compensate for fluctuations in the balance
sheet and provide funds for growth and normal operating expenditures. Liquidity
needs may be met by converting assets into cash or obtaining sources of
additional funding.
Liquidity from asset categories is provided through cash, amounts due from
banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold, which
totaled $21,579,000 at March 31, 2003, compared to $15,805,000 at December 31,
2002. Additional asset liquidity sources include principal and interest payments
from securities in the bank's investment portfolio and cash flow from its
amortizing loan portfolio. Longer-term liquidity needs may be met by selling
securities available for sale, selling loans or raising additional capital. At
March 31, 2003, available for sale securities of $64,684,000 were readily
available for liquidity purposes, as compared to $62,421,000 at December 31,
2002.
Liability liquidity sources include attracting deposits at competitive
rates. Deposits at March 31, 2003 were $256,484,000, as compared to $243,640,000
at December 31, 2002. In addition, the bank has federal fund lines of credit
with its main correspondent bank, ACBB, and with the FHLB, which are reliable
sources for short and long-term funds.
Page 22 of 34
The bank's financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are
made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk.
These commitments consist mainly of unfunded loans and letters of credit made
under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused commitments on
March 31, 2003 were $62,547,000, which consist of $44,857,000 in unfunded
commitments of existing loans, $17,041,000 to grant new loans and $649,000 in
letters of credit. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and
because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally
present a significant liquidity risk to the bank. Management believes that any
amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations and
therefore, do not represent a significant liquidity risk to the bank.
Management is of the opinion that its liquidity position, at March 31,
2003, is adequate to respond to fluctuations "on" and "off" the balance sheet.
In addition, management knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or
uncertainties that may result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in the
bank's inability to meet anticipated or unexpected liquidity needs.
Capital
Pertinent capital information and ratios are detailed in Table 3.

Total Risk-Based Capital $ 21,673 $ 20,982
========= ===========
Capital Ratios:

Minimum Required 4.0% 4.0%
Total Risk-Based Capital 11.3% 11.3%
Minimum Required 8.0% 8.0%
Tangible Tier I Capital Ratio 7.1% 7.1%

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These capital ratios continue to remain at levels, which are considered to
be "well-capitalized" as defined by regulatory guidelines.
Banking laws and regulations limit the amount of cash dividends that may be
paid without prior approval from the bank's regulatory agencies.
Restrictions under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 are placed on the
size of a bank's investment in fixed assets as a percentage of equity.
Presently, the bank exceeds the allowable limit of 25% of equity, as defined by
the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. The bank's fixed assets as a percentage
of equity are 30.1% at March 31, 2003 as compared with 33.0% at March 31, 2002.
Generally, the bank contacts the Department of Banking prior to the acquisition
of material dollar fixed asset additions to obtain the Department's approval. On
an ongoing basis, compliance with this section of the Banking Code is expected
to occur through normal depreciation adjustments and retention of earnings.
ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of conducting business activities, the bank is exposed
to market risk, principally interest risk. Interest risk arises from market
driven fluctuations in interest rates that affect cash flows, income, expense
and values of financial instruments. The asset/liability committee, using
policies and procedures approved by the board of directors, is responsible for
managing the rate sensitivity position.
Page 23 of 34
No material changes in the market risk strategy occurred during the current
period. No material changes have been noted in the bank's equity value at risk.
A detailed discussion of market risk is provided in the Form 10-K for the period
ended December 31, 2002.
ITEM 4 - Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the bank carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
the bank's management, including the bank's Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the bank's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
bank's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely
alerting them to material information relating to the bank (including
its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the bank's
periodic filings.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
The bank made no significant changes in its internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of the evaluation of controls by the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
