The year 2000
Balance Sheet:
Liabilities:
Deposits:
Personal demand deposit accounts, (DDA's), increased $2,141,000 or 12.49% from
$17,158,000 at December 31, 1999, to $19,299,000 at December 31, 2000. During
2000, the Bank accepted personal deposits of $13,000 from Internet accounts.
Commercial DDA's and Public Fund DDA's grew $3,793,000 or 20.28% from
$18,701,000 at December 31, 1999, to $22,494,000 at December 31, 2000.
Commercial deposits grew as a result of increased commercial lending and the
successful marketing of Bank products designed for the commercial segment.
Commercial products include:
o Sweep Accounts o Flex Cash Manager
o Merchant Credit Card Processing o Fidelity @ Work
o Lock Box Operation
Official Bank checks issued and outstanding increased $3,991,000 from $1,716,000
at December 31, 1999, to $5,707,000 at December 31, 2000.
As a net result of these changes non interest-bearing deposits grew $9,925,000
or 26.41% from $37,575,000 at December 31, 1999, to $47,500,000 at December 31,
2000. The increase in non interest-bearing deposits represents 22.09% of the
growth in total deposits during 2000.
19
Interest-bearing deposits increased $34,999,000 or 13.61% from $257,126,000 at
December 31, 1999, to $292,125,000 at December 31, 2000.
NOW accounts increased $7,434,000 or 24.16% during 2000. The growth was based on
the tiered Super NOW account that has a monthly interest rate based on a
discount of the most current auction of the 13-week United State Treasury bill.
During 1999, NOW accounts increased $16,014,000. During 2000, the Bank accepted
deposits of $37,000 from Internet accounts.
Money Market Deposit Accounts and Savings accounts declined $10,004,000 or
17.69%. During 1999, these deposits grew $7,388,000. The decrease, during 2000,
in Money Market and Savings deposits was caused in part by the transfer of funds
into the higher rate NOW accounts and certificates of deposit (CD's).
CD's rose $37,540,000 or 22.27% and represent 83.56% of the increase in total
deposits. Personal CD's grew $13,090,000 or 9.38%. Non-personal CD's grew
$16,642,000 or 138.17%. Public Fund CD's increased $7,808,000 or 46.06% over
year-end 1999. During 2000, the Bank accepted Brokered deposits of $9,851,000
for liquidity purposes. The Bank also accepted $8,190,000 in new CD's from the
Internet.
The maturity distribution of CD's $100,000 or more at December 31, 2000 is as
follows:
3 Months 3 - 6 6 - 12 Over
----------- ---------- ----------- ----------- -----------
or less Months Months 12 months Total
$27,186,655 $7,563,947 $15,570,327 $44,397,002 $94,717,931
At the end of 2000, total deposits had grown $44,924,000 or 15.24% from
$294,701,000 at December 31, 1999, to $339,625,000 at December 31, 2000.
Among the reasons cited by depositors as to why they selected the Bank are:
o Courtesy and professionalism of staff
o Expanded branch network
o Extended Banking hours
o Products and services offered
o Internet services
The success at gathering new deposits by branch expansion is evidenced by the
deposit totals at the locations opened during the last twenty-four months. Total
deposits at the three branches opened during 1999, increased $13,489,000 during
2000. The Peckville office, in eleven months, had deposit totals of $9,410,000
at December 31, 2000. Those numbers combined, equal 50.97% of the total growth
in deposits during 2000.
Short-term Borrowings:
Having successfully passed the advent of "Year 2000", the Bank reduced
short-term borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) by $19,650,000, from
$30,600,000 at December 31, 1999, to $10,950,000 at December 31, 2000.
Repurchase Agreements (Repos) are included with short-term borrowings, on the
balance sheet, (see Note 7, Short-term borrowings page 52). Repos increased
$7,500,000 or 26.33% from $28,487,000 at December 31, 1999, to $35,987,000 at
December 31, 2000. Sweep accounts comprise approximately 70% of Repos. A sweep
account transfers excess non interest-bearing DDA funds into an interest-bearing
Repo on a daily basis.
20
Long-term debt:
The Bank repaid maturing long-term debt of $1,305,000 at the FHLB in 2000. As
interest rates increased during 2000, the Bank restructured $41,000,000 variable
rate long-term debt at the FHLB. The purpose of the restructure was to minimize
the increase in interest expense. Another $7,000,000 was borrowed in long-term
funds from the FHLB to fund loan demand and for other liquidity needs. The
weighted average rate on funds borrowed at December 31, 2000, was 5.59%. The
weighted average rate is 236 basis points below the tax equivalent yield of
7.95% on average earning assets for the month ending December 31, 2000.
Assets:
Total Assets of the Company increased $44,533,000 or 9.96% during 2000. The
increase is the result of growth in the liability section, as previously
discussed and the retention of profits.
Total Assets by branch at December 31, 2000, are as follows:

Cash and Due from Banks:
At December 31, 1999, total cash and due from banks was $17,957,000. This amount
was established to provide additional liquidity in the event of any Year 2000
problems. Of that amount $11,542,000 was in an interest-bearing account at the
Federal Home Loan Bank. Having successfully passed year-end 1999, the Bank
reduced the level of additional cash and cash equivalents by $9,178,000 at
December 31, 2000, to more historic levels. The funds were used to paydown
short-term borrowings.
Investments:
Total Investments had an increase during 2000, of $10,494,000, net of the change
in the market value of available-for-sale investments.
United States Government Agency bonds totaling $4,000,000 par value, having a
weighted average rate of 8.01% and Pennsylvania municipal bonds with a par value
of $1,860,000, with a weighted average tax equivalent rate of 8.02% were
purchased in 2000. The investments were classified as available-for-sale.
The Bank sold certain qualifying residential mortgage loans totaling $8,329,000
to FNMA and immediately repurchased the assets as investments, (mortgage backed
securities). The purpose of this strategy was threefold:
A) The principal and interest is guaranteed by FNMA, thereby mitigating any
potential loss of repayment.
B) The investments are eligible to be pledged for Public Fund deposits.
21
C) The Bank retained servicing rights. This means the borrower still deals
directly with the Bank and the Bank receives a fee for servicing the
loans.
Since it was determined that the securities would not be sold in the future, the
Bank classified them as held-to-maturity. This classification protects the
Balance Sheet from downward market trends that available-for-sale securities are
exposed to.
Municipal securities and other investments of $1,898,000 were purchased in 2000.
Those assets were categorized as available-for-sale. One municipal security of
$150,000 was called in 2000.
In 2000, the Bank sold municipal investments from the available-for-sale
category, having a net book value of $7,466,000 at the time of sale. Included in
that amount were securities of $1,412,000 that the Bank had for less than one
year, the shortest time period being six months. The remainder had been assets
of the Bank between two and nine years. The investments were sold to protect the
Bank from call provisions, which all the investments had, and for liquidity
purposes.
There were no sales of investments categorized as held-to-maturity and there are
no trading securities.
Investments constituted 24.35% of Total Assets at December 31, 2000.
Held-to-maturity securities were $7,879,000. The remaining $111,877,000 of the
portfolio was classified as available-for-sale. The decision to classify
securities as available-for-sale gives the Bank greater flexibility in the
management of the investment portfolio.
A comparison of investments at year-end for the three previous periods is as

31, 2000 is as follows:

Loans:
Gross loans increased $38,351,000 or 12.77% from $300,348,000 in 1999, to
$338,699,000 in 2000. Gross loans represent 68.88% of Total Assets at December
31, 2000.
Commercial loans at December 31, 2000, represent 43.29% of total gross loans, as
compared to 37.64% at December 31, 1999. Commercial loans increased $33,550,000
or 29.67% from $113,061,000 at December 31, 1999, to $146,611,000 at December
31, 2000. The Bank increased the portfolio to improve profitability and to
better service our community.
The Bank continues to originate loans using the Small Business Administration
(SBA) guaranteed loan program. In return for the Bank funding a loan, which met
the criteria of the program, the SBA guarantees a material portion of the
principal balance to the Bank, should the borrower default. At December 31,
2000, the outstanding balance of SBA loans was $4,904,000, a 12.26% increase
over 1999.
Tax-free industrial development loans made to or backed by local Municipalities,
increased 41.72% to $10,262,000 at December 31, 2000.
Participation in the Pennsylvania Capital Access Program (PENNCAP) is a way in
which the Bank observes prudent lending practices. PENNCAP is a small business
lending program whereby the State allocates a reserve fund to be used in the
event the Bank were to experience a loss on a loan registered in the program. At
December 31, 2000, commercial loans having outstanding balances of $4,654,000
were registered in this program. The outstanding balance of PENNCAP loans at
December 31, 2000, was a 68.62% increase over the previous year-end.
Throughout the year, the Bank has worked closely with Northeast Pennsylvania
Economic Development Council, City of Scranton Office of Economic Community
Development and the Pennsylvania Economic Development Finance.
The Bank continues to serve the local market with real estate loans. Real estate
and construction loans of $112,914,000 were 33.34% of gross loans at December
31, 2000. While the outstanding balance of real estate loans at December 31,
2000, were $3,664,000 less than the balances at December 31, 1999, several
factors must be considered. As detailed in the discussion of investments, fixed
rate residential mortgages of $8,329,000 were securitized through FNMA and
reclassified as investments. In addition, residential mortgages of $8,383,000
were sold on the secondary market, with the Bank retaining the servicing rights.
The loans were sold to provide the Bank with liquidity necessary to meet loan
demand.
Included with real estate loans are home equity lines of credit. The outstanding
balance on the credit lines increased $829,000 or 18.59% from $4,460,000 at
December 31, 1999, to $5,289,000 at December 31, 2000.
Consumer loans increased $1,443,027 or 2.22% from $64,998,000 at December 31,
1999, to $66,441,000 at December 31, 2000. The largest portion of consumer loans
are simple interest loans secured by vehicles. At December 31, 2000 auto loans
were $28,045,000.
During 2000, the Bank sold $7,000,000 loans secured by vehicles that had been
initiated by car dealers. The Bank reviewed the loans in an attempt to retain
the borrowers who had other relationships with the Bank. The loans were sold
without recourse and servicing rights. The loans were sold to provide liquidity.
Consumer loans also include credit card advances. Credit card outstanding
balances increased $1,450,000 or 96.82% from $1,497,000 at December 31, 1999, to
$2,947,000 at December 31, 2000.
23
In 2000, the Bank started an Affinity Credit Card program. Affinity Cards are
initially offered to cardholders at below market rates for a predetermined time.
After the time expires, the cards are repriced at rates usually slightly below
market rates. A percent of the interest charged is donated to a named entity.
Participating with the Bank in the program were:
o Saint Joseph's Center
o Cities of Pittston and West Pittston, (jointly)
o Basilica of the National Shrine of St. Ann
At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance on Affinity Cards was $1,264,000.
Direct financing leases increased $7,022,000 or 122.97% from $5,711,000 at
December 31, 1999, to $12,733,000 at December 31, 2000. The growth primarily
resulted from increased demand from auto dealers for consumer auto leases.

There are no concentrations of loans to a number of borrowers engaged in similar
activities exceeding 10% of total loans, that are not otherwise disclosed as a
category in tables above.
As in previous years, the Bank sold residential real estate mortgage loans in
2000. The Bank sells loans for liquidity and interest rate risk considerations.
However, servicing rights are retained so that our customers still deal directly
with the Bank. At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance of sold residential
mortgage loans in which the Bank retained servicing rights was $42,631,000.

Fixed Assets:
Fixed asset additions were $2,930,000 in 2000.
Main Office and KIP renovations were $1,393,000 and $393,000 respectively. The
renovations were made to modernize and improve both facilities. Another $55,000
was capitalized for system upgrades and furniture at the newly remodeled KIP
branch.
The Bank acquired a commercial property in Dunmore, (see Note 2 page 16), for
future expansion. The acquisition cost was $128,000.
Leasehold improvements of $198,000 and furniture and fixture additions of
$120,000 were needed to open the new Peckville branch.
Additions to furniture and fixtures for system hardware and software
requirements were $363,000 during 2000.
Other Assets:
Due to the market appreciation of available-for-sale investments, the deferred
tax asset of $2,408,000 at December 31, 1999, was reduced $1,725,000 to $683,000
at December 31, 2000.
Mortgage servicing rights increased $129,000 from $123,000 at December 31, 1999,
to $252,000 at December 31, 2000 due to the mortgages sold during 2000.
The year 1999
Total deposits and long-term debt increased $69,753,000 or 24.71% during 1999.
Short-term borrowings grew $30,844,000 or 104.89%. In addition to supplementing
asset growth, the rise in short-term borrowings provided the Bank with liquidity
in the event of any year 2000 problems.
25
A $6,500,000 decrease in Federal Funds Sold plus the growth of liabilities was
used to increase investments and gross loans $92,012,000 or 28.97%. Liability
increases also provided the necessary capital for branch expansion and
improvements in operations.
Total Assets of the Bank increased $98,607,000 or 28.29% from $348,604,000, at
December 31, 1998, to $447,211,000 at December 31, 1999.
Capital Resources
The Bank's major source of capital has been from the retention of earnings as
reflected below:
Net Income Dividends Paid Earnings Retained
---------- -------------- -----------------
2000 .......................... $3,202,291 $1,366,075 $1,836,197
1999 .......................... 3,814,215 1,344,141 2,470,074
1998 .......................... 3,563,552 1,200,409 2,363,143
1997 .......................... 3,310,057 1,062,530 2,247,527
1996 .......................... 2,824,704 906,793 1,917,911
Capital was further increased in 2000 through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(DRIP). Stockholders reinvested $193,000 in dividends to purchase additional
shares of stock.
The reinvestment in 2000 was lower than previous years. Upon stockholder
approval of the merger between the Bank and Company, the Bank's DRIP ended. The
Company had to receive regulatory approval for its own DRIP and during the
process two dividend payments were disbursed. After the approval was granted,
stockholders had to apply to become part of the Company's DRIP.
Common stock of the Company was issued without par value. The surplus reported
by the Bank at December 31, 1999, was reclassified to common stock of the
Company at December 31, 2000.
Capital was affected by changes in market rates, which caused a $3,349,000
improvement, net of deferred taxes, in the fair value of investments classified
as available-for-sale. At December 31, 1999, the Bank reported a net unrealized
loss on AFS securities of $4,674,000. At December 31, 2000, the loss was reduced
to $1,325,000.
Fluctuations in the capital markets cause frequent changes in the fair value of
available-for-sale securities. A future decline in value should not indicate a
material weakness in the capital position of the Company. The Company monitors
market conditions closely and is prepared to take remedial action, if Management
deems such action appropriate.

If the after tax depreciation in the AFS portfolio, (net unrealized loss), was
not included in Capital, the Capital to Asset Ratios for 2000 and 1999 would be
7.9% and 8.1% respectively.
Capital is evaluated in relation to total assets and the risk associated with
those assets. With greater capital resources, a bank is more likely to be able
to meet its cash obligations and absorb unforeseen losses. Federal regulatory
definitions of capital adequacy take the form of minimum ratios. The Bank
exceeds all minimum regulatory capital requirements (see Note 14, contained on
pages 55 and 56 in Notes to Financial Statements).
Liquidity Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity:
Liquidity for a bank is the ability to fund customers' needs for borrowings and
withdrawals. Sources of liquidity are:
Asset maturities, paydowns and sales
Growth of core deposits
Growth of Repurchase Agreements
Increase of other borrowed funds
Management monitors asset and liability maturities to match anticipated cash
flow requirements. These cash flow requirements are reviewed with the use of
internally generated reports. The Bank has instituted certain procedures and
policy guidelines to manage the rate sensitive position. Those internal rules
enable the Bank to react to changes in market rates and protect net interest
income from significant fluctuations.
Over the years, the Bank has sold fixed rate Mortgage Loans to the secondary
market. The decision to pursue this course of action was based upon two
parameters:
Meeting consumer demand for mortgages
Mitigating the interest rate risk inherent in fixed rate loans
Interest rate risk management is an integral part of the Asset Liability
Management Process. Interest rate risk is defined as the degree to which
interest rate movements may affect net interest income, net income and the
balance sheet. Fluctuations in rates can affect both interest income and
interest expense through the balance of repricing assets and source funds. If
more assets reprice than liabilities, the Balance Sheet is positively gapped.
This position contributes favorably to net interest income in a rising interest
rate environment but unfavorably when rates decline. Conversely, if the Balance
Sheet has more liabilities repricing than assets, the Balance Sheet is liability
sensitive and negatively gapped. In a declining rate environment, net interest
income would improve but with rising rates, net interest income would decrease.
The Bank uses a simulation model, which attempts to measure the impact changes
in rates and/or volumes may have on net income. The model measured the impact of
changing interest rates for several scenarios. The following
27
table illustrates the theoretical impact of interest rate changes. The rate
movements shown below represent parallel shifts in the yield curve, occurring
immediately and lasting for the twelve-month projection.
The analysis assumes that December 31, 2000, levels of assets and
liabilities remain constant over the next twelve months. The interest rate
movements are immediate and the revenue impacts are estimated for the subsequent
twelve-month period. In the normal course of events, the Bank anticipates growth
in both assets and liabilities during a given twelve-month period. Such growth
would affect both revenues and expenses.
The table below shows the increase or (decrease) from 2000 reported figures
that would occur under these interest rate changes over a twelve-month period
beginning January 1, 2000:

At January 1, 2001, if there were an immediate 200 basis point increase in all
market interest rates, net interest income is projected to decrease by
$2,031,000 over the next twelve months, a 14.9% decrease from 2000's net
interest income. The present value of Bank capital is projected to decrease 9.4%
to $34,001,000.
If there were an immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates, net interest
income is projected to increase $2,895,000 or 21.2% over twelve months. The
present value of the Bank's capital is projected to increase 18.3% to

The interest rate changes described above are extreme and have occurred only
rarely in the past. These projections require a variety of assumptions and, as
such, the results should be viewed as approximations only. In addition, should
changing interest rates have a negative effect on the financial position of the
Bank, prompt corrective measures would be undertaken to minimize any adverse
impact.

Assets due to mature in one year or less do not include expected significant
principal reductions on fixed rate loans and leases that historically prepay in
a downward rate environment. Those loans have been scheduled by maturity date.
Investments with call provisions are likely to be called in a downward rate
environment. Fixed rate investments of $82,872,000, subject to call during 2001,
have been scheduled by maturity dates exceeding one year.
Liabilities not having stated maturity dates have been scheduled based upon an
aging of the liabilities. The time frames relied upon suggest that the
liabilities will either reprice or liquidate within the stated period. For
example, at December 31, 2000, the one-year cumulative gap stated that
$8,454,000 Non Interest-bearing deposits would payout over the next twelve
months. In reality Non Interest-bearing deposits grew $9,925,000 during 2000.
Historical data tends not to support the theory that a material portion of these
accounts will either reprice or liquidate within a twelve-month period.
At December 31, 2000, the Bank had the following additional sources of funds,
which totaled $73,214,000, available to meet liquidity requirements:
A $5,000,000 unsecured credit line from a financial institution:
Borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia of
$19,435,000
Available funding at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh of
$48,779,000
Management continually monitors the gaps between assets and liabilities and
makes adjustments as market rates change. Presently Management believes that
there is adequate liquidity to meet normal requirements.

Net Interest Income:
The year 2000
During 2000, the Federal Reserve Bank raised the Discount Rate three times. The
last increase in the Discount Rate
29
occurred on May 16, 2000. The Discount Rate is the rate at which the Federal
Reserve Bank lends overnight funds to banks. In response to these increases,
national prime rose from 8.50% to 9.50%.
There is a 124 basis point differential between the weighted average of national
prime in 2000 and 1999. The weighted average of national prime in 1999 and 2000
was 8.00% and 9.24% respectively. This difference reflects on the yield on
earning assets and the cost of funds when comparing both years.
The actions of the Federal Reserve Bank caused increases in the rates charged on
loans that were subject to repricing and on the rates offered on new loans in
2000. Approximately 18% of the entire loan portfolio was subject to immediate
repricing at December 31, 2000.
To remain competitive, the rates charged on new residential mortgages and
consumer loans, did not rise directly with the increases in prime. New products,
such as the Affinity Card, were offered at discounts from established Bank
products.
With the increase in national prime, it became difficult to sell from the
inventory of fixed rate residential loans at a break even level. The sale of
loans provides a source of funds that can then be loaned at a higher yield.
In the preceding year, the Bank realized a significant increase in short-term
Public Fund deposits and Repos. To properly secure these deposits, the Bank
purchased callable fixed rate bonds. When rates increased, the bonds were not
called, as the issuers took advantage of the lower cost of borrowings.
Due to the combination of these factors, the Bank was only able to recognize a
35 basis point improvement in the tax equivalent yield on earning assets.
In order to provide the liquidity to meet loan demand and thereby improve the
yield on earning assets, the Bank began to raise the interest rates paid on
deposits and Repos. Interest expense was also effected by a rise in the rates
charged on borrowed funds. In addition, the cost of funds was increased by
deposit promotions, including the Super NOW and Internet deposits accounts and
the acceptance of brokered funds.
The effect of these increases caused an 80 basis point increase in the cost of
funds.
Despite a 44 basis point reduction in tax-equivalent net interest spread, net
interest income rose $457,000 or 3.47% during 2000. This was primarily
accomplished through volume increases in loans and investments.
The year 1999
During the second half of 1999, the Fed raised the discount rate on three
separate occasions by 75 basis points. In response to these increases, national
prime rose from 7.75% to 8.50%.
There is a 37 basis point differential between the weighted average of national
prime in 1999 and 1998. The weighted average of national prime in 1999 and 1998
was 8.00% and 8.37% respectively.
Approximately 17% of the entire loan portfolio was subject to immediate
repricing.
During the first half of 1999, investment securities were called and reissued at
lower rates. When rates increased, investments were no longer called.
The combination of these factors caused a 36 basis point decline in the tax
equivalent yield on earning assets.
Due to the increase in rates during 1999, the Bank began to raise the interest
rates paid on deposits and Repos. Interest expense was effected by a rise in the
rates charged on borrowed funds. In addition, the cost of funds was increased by
deposit promotions. However, since market rates did not begin to rise until the
second half of 1999, the Bank was able to reduce the cost of funds by 21 basis
points.
30
Even though there was a 16 basis point reduction in tax-equivalent net interest
spread, net interest income rose $2,028,000 or 18.1% during 1999, through volume
increases in interest-earning assets.
The year 1998
The Federal Reserve Bank lowered the Discount Rate by 75 basis points during the
fourth quarter of 1998.
The actions of the Fed caused reductions in the rates charged on loans that were
subject to repricing and on the rates offered on new loans. Investment
securities were prematurely called and reissued at lower rates. The combination
of these factors caused a 15 basis point decline in the tax equivalent yield on
earning assets.
Market competition prevented the Bank from proportionately lowering the rates on
NOW's, MMDA's and savings accounts. In addition, the cost of funds was increased
by deposit promotions. Due to this, the cost of funds increased 10 basis points
during 1998.
Despite a 25 basis point reduction in tax-equivalent net interest spread, net
interest income rose $765,000 during 1998. This was accomplished through a
volume increase in loans and cost reduction in other interest-bearing
liabilities.
A comparison of Average Earnings Assets and the Net Tax Equivalent yields for
2000, 1999, and 1998, in thousands, is as follows:

Interest income was adjusted to a tax equivalent basis to recognize the income
from tax exempt assets as if the interest was taxable. This treatment allows a
uniform comparison to be made between yields on assets. The calculations were
computed on a fully tax equivalent basis using the corporate federal tax rate of
34%.
Nonaccrual loans and any related interest recorded have been included in
computing the average rate earned on the loan portfolio. All deposits are in
domestic bank offices. The average balances are based on amortized cost and do
not reflect unrealized gains or losses.
The following table reflects the change in net interest income attributable to
fluctuations in volume and rate.

The portion of the total change attributable to both volume and rate changes
during the periods has been allocated to the volume and rate components based
upon the absolute dollar amount of the change in each component prior to the
allocation. Tax exempt income was not converted to a tax equivalent basis on the
Rate Volume Analysis.
Provision for Loan Losses:
The provision is an expense charged to earnings for potential losses from
uncollectible loans. Management continuously reviews the risks inherent in the
loan portfolio. Factors evaluated during this process include:
o Specific loans that could have loss potential
o Levels of delinquent loans
o Changes in risk characteristics in the portfolio
o Current and projected economic conditions
The Bank does not have significant concentrations of loans in specific
industries or outside the Northeastern Pennsylvania geographic area. There are
no significant nonperforming loans.

portfolio. However, in some instances an allocation is made for specific loans
or groups of loans. Accordingly, allocation of the reserve among major
categories of loans is summarized below. This table should not be interpreted as
an indication that charge-offs in future periods will occur in these amounts or
proportions, or that the allocation indicates future charge-off trends. The

Net loans include Loans Available-for-sale.
Gross interest income that would have been recorded in 2000, if nonaccrual loans
were current was $228,308.
In the internal review of loans for both delinquency and collateral sufficiency,
Management concluded that there were an above average number of loans that
lacked the ability to repay in accordance with contractual terms. Many of these
problems were recognized during the fourth quarter of 2000. Accordingly,
Management found it necessary to write off $1,151,000 of these loans and to
increase the allowance for loan loss for certain other loans. The allowance for
loan loss was increased through the provision for loan loss. This reduced the
percentage of non-performing loans to net loans, from 1.37% at December 31,
1999, to 1.10% at December 31, 2000.
The Bank is unaware of any potential problem loans. Potential problem loans are
those where there is known information that leads the Bank to believe repayment
of principal and/or interest is in jeopardy and the loans are neither
non-accrual nor past due 90 days or more.
In addition to the allowance for loan loss, there are other reserves not
recorded on the Bank's records that are available to mitigate potential loan
loss. The guaranteed portion of non-performing SBA loans was $423,000, at
December 31, 2000. Reserves set aside by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for
loans registered in the PENNCAP program were $311,000 at year-end 2000.
The decrease in ratio of allowance for loan loss to year-end loans was caused by
the overall growth in the loan portfolio. The Bank is confident that the
Allowance provides adequate protection against any unforeseen portfolio loss.
Other Income
The year 2000
The $248,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts is a result of the
growth in the number of accounts and changes to the service charge structure.
The Bank sold investment securities in order to provide liquidity when needed.
In providing funds for loan demand, the Bank improved its yield on earning
assets. The 2000 tax equivalent yield on average loans and investments

was 7.92% and 6.51% respectively. Sales of available-for-sale investments
produced net gains of $41,000. There were no sales of investments classified as
held-to-maturity.
Loan sales were also predicated upon liquidity needs. Sales generated net gains
of $62,000 in 2000. That amount was increased by the recognition of the
discounted future value of servicing rights on sold loans. The amount of
realized income from servicing rights was $149,000.
In compliance with FASB Statement No. 65, loans designated as available-for-sale
must be carried at the lower of cost or market. By the end of 2000, the market
value slightly surpassed book and the Bank was able to recoup the $146,000 which
it had written down during 1999, when the market value was below book.
The $57,980,000 increase in loans before the Allowance for Loan Loss, helped to
generate an additional $185,000 in service charges during 1999. Service charges
on loans are classified as a component of Other Operating Income.
Some components of fees and other service charges and other operating income and
their related increase during 2000:
Increase
--------
ATM service charges $109,000
Fees on sold loans 49,000
Checkbook fees 47,000
Merchant Credit Card income 47,000
Fees on sold loans, Merchant Credit Card income and checkbook fees rose through
volume increases. The new branch locations and issued card increases helped to
generate additional income from ATM service charges.
The year 1999
The $12,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts in 1999 is a result
of the increase in non interest-bearing deposit accounts. The increase is not as
great as in prior years. Promotions at the new branches whereby fees were waived
for the first year on new accounts, hindered a larger increase.
Sales of loans generated net gains of $74,000 in 1999. That amount, however, was
increased by the recognition of the discounted future value of servicing rights
on sold loans. The amount of realized income from servicing rights was
approximately $123,000.
At December 31, 1999, the market value of available-for-sale loans was below
book value. The Bank had to write down to market the loans classified as
available-for-sale. As a result of this, $146,000 was charged against current
earnings. In previous years, the book value was below market, so no charge was
made to current earnings.
The $57,980,000 increase in loans before the Allowance for Loan Loss, helped to
generate an additional $185,000 in service charges during 1999. Service charges
on loans are classified as a component of Other Operating Income.
Some components of Other Operating Income and their related increase during
1999:
Increase
--------
Fees on sold loans $ 37,000
Merchant Credit Card income 88,000
Trust income, (gross) 103,000
Annuity & Brokerage fees 30,000
ATM service charges 31,000
35
Fees on sold loans, Merchant Credit Card income and Trust income rose through
volume increases. A full time employee dedicated to sales only, caused the
increase in Annuity and Brokerage fees. The new branch locations helped to
generate additional income over 1998 from ATM service charges.
The year 1998
The 32% increase in service charges on deposit accounts realized in 1998, is a
result of the 32% increase in non interest-bearing deposit accounts.
The Bank sold three investment securities, classified as available-for-sale. The
net amortized book value of the sold securities was $3,838,000. The net gain on
investment sales for 1998 was $110,000. There were no sales of investments
classified as held-to-maturity.
The sale of residential mortgage loans and student loans in 1998 generated net
gains of $161,000, a $158,000 increase over 1997.
The $41,768,000 increase in loans before the Allowance for Loan Loss, helped to
generate an additional $144,000 in service charges during 1998.
Some components of Other Operating Income and their related increase during
1998:
Increase
--------
Merchant Credit Card income $40,000
Trust income, (gross) 60,000
Merchant credit card income rose through volume increases. Gross Trust income
reflects the first full twelve months of operations.
Other Expense
The year 2000
The average number of full time equivalent employees increased by 10 to 166 in
2000. The 6% average staff increase, merit pay raises and higher benefit costs
increased 2000 Salaries and Employee benefits $424,000 above the amount reported
for 1999.
During 2000, the West Pittston, Financial Center and Moosic retail branches were
opened for a full twelve months. The Peckville office was opened for eleven
months. The impact of these branches contributed to a $621,000 increase in
Premise and Equipment expense during 2000. Over 45% of the increase resulted
from a $283,000 rise in depreciation. Depreciation on building and premise was
$292,000 and depreciation on furniture and fixtures was $754,000. Furniture and
fixture depreciation exceeded 1% of gross income.
Advertising expense of $398,000 exceeded 1% of gross income during 2000.
However, despite the addition of a new branch during 2000, advertising remained
relatively unchanged from 1999.
Some components of Other Expense and their increases during 2000:
Increase
--------
FDIC insurance assessment $ 33,000
Audit 52,000
Legal and professional 77,000
Fidelity D&D Bancorp organization 150,000
Postage 35,000
Consumer leasing 81,000
Donations 34,000
Credit information 30,000
MAC expense 41,000
36
The Fidelity D&D Bancorp, inc. organization resulted in a one time expense of
$150,000. The organization also caused expense increases in other areas. Among
those line items effected were audit, $11,000 and legal and professional
$74,000. The 123% growth in direct financing leases caused related insurance
coverage to rise $81,000. The other items rose due to the increase in the number
of Bank locations, loan requests and deposit accounts serviced.
The year 1999
The average number of full time equivalent employees increased by 35 to 156 in
1999. The average staff increase of 29% and merit pay raises caused 1999
Salaries and Employee benefits to increase $1,315,000 above the amount reported
for 1998.
The opening of three retail branches in 1999, increased Premise and Equipment
expense $523,000 over 1998. Over 52% of the increase resulted from a $275,000
rise in depreciation. Depreciation on building and premise was $201,000 and
depreciation on furniture and fixtures was $562,000. Furniture and fixture
depreciation exceeded 1% of gross income. Another factor contributing to the
increase was the portion of the Financial Center restricted to operations.
Operations were conducted at the Financial Center during the twelve months of
1999. The Bank acquired the Financial Center in June of 1998 and did not begin
to move operations there until September of 1998.
Advertising increased $115,000 over 1998 to $403,000 and exceeded 1% of gross
income. The increase was caused in part, by the new branches opened during 1999.
Some components of Other Expense and their increases during 1999:
Increase
--------
Appraisals $ 44,000
Merchant credit card expense 91,000
Stationery and supplies 111,000
Armored transportation 37,000
Correspondent banks 36,000
Telecommunications 33,000
Donations 38,000
Miscellaneous expense 72,000
Appraisal expense rose in part because of a no-cost residential mortgage loan
promotion. Appraisal expense is reported gross and does not include payments
made by borrowers. Those fees are credited to other income. Merchant card and
consumer leasing expense rose due to volume increases. The other items rose due
to the increase in the number of Bank locations and the Bank's Year 2000
considerations.
The year 1998
The average number of full time equivalent employees increased by 11 to 121 in
1998. The additional staff and merit pay increases caused 1998 Salaries and
Employee benefits to increase $421,000 above the amount reported for 1997.
With the opening of the Pittston Branch in June and the move to the Financial
Center in September, Occupancy and Equipment expenses increased $66,000 over
1997.
Advertising increased $90,000 over 1997, to $288,000 and exceeded 1% of gross
income. Branch openings during 1998, contributed to the increase.
37
Some components of Other Expense and their increases during 1998:
Increase
--------
Appraisals $ 87,000
Legal fees 30,000
Merchant credit card expense 62,000
Stationery and supplies 43,000
Appraisal expense rose in part because of a no-cost residential mortgage loan
promotion. Merchant card expense rose due to volume increases. Legal fees are
expensed based upon invoices received for services rendered. Stationary and
supplies rose due to the increase in the number of Bank locations and the Bank's
Year 2000 preparations.
Other Items:
New Financial Accounting Standards:
See Note 18, contained on page 58 in Note to Financial Statements.
Year 2000:
The Bank successfully completed its preparations for the beginning of the new
millennium. At January 1, 2000, all automated systems were functioning properly.
During the first days of 2000, the Bank initiated and received transmissions of
electronic data without any problems. There were no difficulties conducting
business with those outside vendors upon which the Bank relies.
The final Y2k hurdle was February 29, 2000, the leap year day. The Bank did not
encounter any operational or supply problems on that day.
Federal and State Legislation:
From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation have been
proposed that could result in additional regulations and restrictions on the
business of the Bank. It cannot be predicted whether such legislation will be
adopted, or if adopted, how such laws would affect the business of the Bank. As
a consequence, the Bank is susceptible to legislation that may increase the cost
of doing business. Management believes that the effects of the aforementioned
proposals on the liquidity, capital resources and the results of operations, of
the Bank, will be immaterial.
Management is unaware of any other specific regulatory recommendations, which if
implemented, would have a material effect upon the liquidity, capital resources
or results of operations. However the general cost of compliance with numerous
federal and state laws does have, and in the future may have, a negative impact
on the Bank's results of operations.
Further, the business of the Bank is also affected by the state of the financial
services industry in general. As a result of legal and industry changes,
Management predicts that the industry will continue to experience an increase in
consolidations as the financial industry strives for greater cost efficiencies
and market share. Management is optimistic that such consolidations may enhance
the Bank's competitive position as a community bank.
On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Financial Modernization Act. The Act has a profound impact on the financial
services industry.
o The Act repeals prior legislation to permit commercial banks to affiliate
with securities firms and insurance companies. More importantly, the Act
significantly expands the authority of each of these financial industries to
engage in a full array of financial services. Thus, each industry may now
engage in activities previously reserved to one or the other.
38
o The Act authorizes bank holding companies meeting defined standards to engage
in a substantially broader range of non-banking activities than was
permissible before the legislation passed.
o A new hierarchy of existing state and federal regulators will monitor both
the Bank and the proposed Holding Company. The Act coordinates the efforts of
these regulators. The goal is to lessen regulatory burden and prevent
duplication of examination efforts.
o Also, all financial institutions are required to take reasonable precautions
to protect the security and confidentiality of personal customer information.
The Bank or Holding Company may only share customer information with its
affiliates under certain circumstances.
Outlook for 2001:
After eight consecutive years of increasing net income, 2000 presented
challenges that were in part unlike those from prior years. Some of those
challenges were one-time events, such as the formation of the Holding Company.
Others were not. Recognizing the need to address ongoing challenges, the Company
has already begun to reassess its pricing and promotional policies. The
objective is to increase revenues and hold the line or reduce cost. The present
state of the economy may add a degree of difficulty in achieving this goal.
However, Management believes the goals are realistic and within the ability of
the Company to achieve.

Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc.
and Subsidiary
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REORGANIZATION
On August 10, 1999, Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated. Effective
June 30, 2000, one share of Fidelity Deposit & Discount Bank stock was exchanged
for two shares of Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. stock. Cash was paid for
fractional shares at the fair market value of the stock. This transaction was
accounted for as a pooling of interests and all prior periods have been
restated. This transaction was tax free to the shareholders for federal income
tax purposes. Merger related costs of approximately $150,000 were incurred in
2000.
The results of operations previously reported by Fidelity Deposit & Discount
Bank for 1999 and 1998 are the same amounts reported in the accompanying
financial statements because Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. had no revenues or
expenses in 1999.
The Bank's stock option plans and dividend reinvestment plan have been adopted
by the Company.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Fidelity D & D Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fidelity Deposit &
Discount Bank (the "Bank") (collectively, the "Company"). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and
corporate customers in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties, Pennsylvania. This
region has a diversified and fairly stable economy. The Company's primary
deposit products are savings accounts, NOW accounts, money market deposit
accounts, certificates of deposit and checking accounts. Its primary lending
products are single-family residential loans, secured consumer loans, and
secured loans to businesses. In addition to these traditional banking services,
the Company also provides annuities, mutual funds and trust services.
A significant portion of the Company's loan portfolio consists of single-family
residential loans in its market area. Although the Company has a diversified
loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtor's ability to honor their
contracts is dependent on the economic sector in which the Company operates.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and
foreclosed assets, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on
changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's
allowances for loan losses and foreclosed assets. Such agencies may require the
Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these
factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowances for loan losses and
foreclosed assets may change materially in the near future.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to
significant change relate to the determination for the allowance for losses on
loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures
or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of allowances
for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent
appraisals for significant properties.
45
HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES
Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that
are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity.
TRADING SECURITIES
Debt and equity securities held principally for resale in the near term are
recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses are included in other
income. The Company did not have any investment securities held for trading
purposes during 2000, 1999 or 1998.
AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES
Available-for-sale securities consist of debt and equity securities not
classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities and are
reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of deferred
income taxes, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in a
separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. These net unrealized
holding gains and losses are the sole component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss).
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net
unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to
income.
LOANS
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or payoff are stated at face value, net of unearned
income, unamortized loan fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses.
Interest on residential real estate loans is recorded on an amortized schedule.
Commercial loan interest is accrued on the principal balance on an actual day
basis. Interest on consumer loans is determined using the actuarial method or
the simple interest method.
The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in the opinion
of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet
payments as they become due. Any payments received on impaired loans are
applied, first to the outstanding loan amounts, then to the recovery of any
charged-off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as a recovery of lost interest.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses. The allowance represents an amount which, in management's judgment, will
be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans and leases that may
become uncollectible. Management's judgment in determining the adequacy of the
allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of the loans. These
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and
volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the
borrower's ability to pay, overall portfolio quality and review of specific
impaired loans. Loans considered uncollectible are charged to the allowance.
Recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the allowance.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments in
accordance to the contractual terms of the loan. Factors considered in
determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the
probability of collecting payments when due. The significance of payment delays
and/or shortfalls, is determined on a case by case basis. All circumstances
surrounding the loan are taken into account. Such factors include the length of
the delinquency, the underlying reasons and the borrower's prior payment record.
Impairment is measured on all loans on a loan by loan basis.
46
LEASES
Financing of equipment and automobiles are provided to customers under lease
arrangements accounted for as direct financing leases. Income earned is based on
a constant periodic return on the net investment in the lease.
LOAN FEES
Nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs
are recognized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield. The
unamortized balance of these fees and costs are included as part of the loan
balance to which it relates.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
LOAN SERVICING AND LOAN
SERVICING RIGHTS
The Company services real estate loans for investors in the secondary mortgage
market, which are not included in the balance sheet. The cost of mortgage
servicing rights is amortized in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing revenues. For purposes of measuring impairment, the
rights are stratified based on the present dominant risk characteristics of the
underlying loans, stated term of the loan and interest rate. The amount of
impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing
rights for a stratum exceed their fair value. Fair values are estimated using
discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate.
FORECLOSED ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Foreclosed assets held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value
less cost to sell. Losses from the acquisition of property in full and partial
satisfaction of debt are treated as credit losses. Routine holding costs and
subsequent declines in value are included in other operating expenses.
TRUST FEES
Trust fees are recorded on the cash basis which is not materially different from
the accrual basis.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash and short-term instruments: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term
instruments approximate their fair value.
Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities: Fair values for securities
are based on bid prices received from securities dealers. Restricted equity
securities are carried at cost.
Loans receivable: The fair value of all loans is estimated by the net present
value of the future expected cash flows.
Loans available for sale: For loans available for sale, the fair value is
estimated using rates currently offered for similar borrowings and are stated
at the lower of cost or market.
Deposit liabilities: The fair value of demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings
accounts, and money market deposits is estimated by the net present value of
the future expected cash flows. For certificates of deposit, the discount
rates used reflect the Company's current market pricing. The discount rates
used for nonmaturity deposits are the current book rate of the deposits.
47
Short-term borrowings: For short-term borrowings, the fair value is estimated
using the rates currently offered for similar borrowings.
Long-term debt: For other borrowed funds, the fair value is estimated using the
rates currently offered for similar borrowings.
Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their
fair values.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Commitments to extend credit are generally short
term and are priced to market. The rates on standby letters of credit are
priced on prime. Therefore, the estimated fair value of these financial
instruments is face value.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities 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.
CASH FLOWS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on
hand and amounts due from banks.
For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company paid interest
in cash on interest-bearing liabilities of $20,465,322, $15,272,903 and
$11,827,170, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998, the Company paid cash for income taxes of $391,000, $725,500 and
$1,241,283, respectively.
Noncash investing activities related to the acquisition of foreclosed assets
held for sale amounted to $374,199, $482,201 and $189,814 in 2000, 1999, and
1998, respectively. Noncash investing activities also included transferring
$13,393,655, $3,603,841 and $655,753 from loans to loans available-for-sale in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Noncash investing activities also included

$30,600,000 at December 31, 1999.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) are
secured short-term borrowings, and generally mature within 1 to 89 days from the
transaction date. Repurchase agreements are reflected at the amount of cash
received in connection with the transaction. The carrying value of the
underlying securities is approximately $36,000,000 and $29,000,000 at December
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Bank may be required to provide additional
collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. The demand
note, U. S. Treasury is generally repaid within 1 to 90 days.
At December 31, 2000, the Company has $5,000,000 available on an unsecured line
of credit from a financial institution and approximately $19,435,520 that it can
borrow at the Discount Window from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
There were no borrowings on these lines at December 31, 2000 or 1999.
8. LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consists of advances from the FHLB with interest rates ranging
from 4.69% to 6.33% in 2000 and 4.05% to 6.33% in 1999. These advances are
secured by unencumbered U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed
securities, U.S. Treasury notes and certain residential mortgages.
At December 31, 2000, the maturities of long-term debt are as follows:
Year Ending December 31
- -----------------------
2004 ............................................. $ 5,000,000
2008 ............................................. 10,000,000
2010 ............................................. 48,000,000
------------
Total ................................. $ 63,000,000

9. STOCK PLANS
The Company has reserved 100,000 shares of its unissued capital stock for
issuance under a dividend reinvestment plan. Shares issued under this plan are
valued at fair value as of the dividend payment date. At December 31, 2000,
84,600 shares are available for future issuance.
The Company has established the 1998 Independent Directors Stock Option Plan and
has reserved 50,000 shares of its unissued capital stock for issuance under the
plan. Under the 1998 Independent Directors Stock Option Plan, each outside
director will be awarded stock options to purchase 500 shares of the Company's
common stock on the first business day of January, each year, at the fair market
value on date of grant. 4,500 stock options with a ten-year life were awarded in
2000 and 1999. No stock options were awarded in 1998.
The Company has established the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan and has reserved
50,000 shares of its unissued capital stock for issuance under the plan. Under
the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, key officers and certain other employees are
eligible to be awarded qualified options to purchase the Company's common stock
at the fair market value on the date of grant. 3,400 and 3,000 qualified stock
options with a ten-year life were awarded in 2000 and 1999, respectively. No
qualified options were awarded in 1998.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for the Option Plans. Accordingly, no compensation
expense has been recognized for the Option Plans. Had compensation cost for the
Option Plans been determined based on fair values at the grant date for awards
consistent with the method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No.123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been
adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
As Reported Pro Forma
----------- ---------
December 31, 2000
Net Income (in thousands) ..................... $3,202 $3,187
Earnings per share - Basic .................... 1.78 1.78

For purposes of the pro forma calculations, the fair value of each option is
estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for grants issued in 2000 and 1999:
2000 1999
--------- --------
Dividend yield ................................... 2.89% 2.48%

11. RETIREMENT PLAN
The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering substantially all
employees of the Company. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Contributions to the Plan were
$236,564 in 2000, $212,898 in 1999 and $200,140 in 1998.
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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 and
to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. 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 balance sheet. The contract
or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Company's
involvement 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 those instruments. The
Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
A summary of the notional amounts of the Bank's financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk at December 31, 2000 follows:
Notional
Amount
------------
Commitments to extend credit .................... $ 78,705,475
Standby letters of credit ....................... 3,662,661
52
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 commitments may
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
considered necessary by the Company on extension of credit, is based on
management's credit assessment of the customer.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the
Company guaranteeing performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loan facilities to customers.
The Company has not incurred any losses on its commitments in 2000, 1999 or
1998.
The carrying or notional amount and estimated fair values of the Company's
financial instruments were as follows at December 31, 2000 and 1999:

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share (EPS) is computed using the weighed-average number of shares
of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the assumed exercise of stock
options. Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect the 2000 stock split.
The following data shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and
the effects on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilative
potential common stock for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

14.REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory - and possible additional discretionary - actions
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's
assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2000, the Bank meets all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
To be categorized as well capitalized the Company must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the
table. The Company's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the
table. No amounts were deducted from capital for interest-rate risk in either
2000 or 1999.

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the ordinary course of business, loans are made to executive officers,
directors, shareholders and associates of such persons. These transactions were
made on substantially the same terms and at those rates prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with others. These loans do not involve more than
the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. A
summary of loan activity with officers, directors, shareholders and associates
of such persons is as follows:
2000 1999 1998
----------- ----------- -----------

18. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The statement requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 133
on January 1, 2001 and it cannot be applied retroactively to financial
statements of prior periods. Management does not expect the initial adoption of
SFAS No. 133 to have a material effect on the Company's operations or financial
position.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This
statement supercedes and replaces the guidance in Statement 125. It revises the
standards for accounting for securities and other transfers of financial assets
and collateral and requires certain disclosures, although it carries over most
of Statement 125's provisions without reconsideration. The Statement is
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 and for recognition and
reclassification of collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
This Statement is to be applied prospectively within certain exceptions. Other
than those exceptions, earlier or retroactive application of its accounting
provisions is not permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if
any, of this statement on the Company's financial condition, equity, results of
operations or disclosure.

The information required under Item 401 of Regulation S-K is incorporated by
reference herein, to the section, "Board of Directors and Management",
subsections "Information as to Directors and Nominees", "Family
Relationships",""Executive Officers of the Company", and "Executive Officers of
the Bank", contained within the Company's 2001 Proxy Statement.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors, executive officers and shareholders owning in excess of 10% of the
Company's outstanding equity stock to file initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). SEC
regulations require that these reporting persons furnish the Company with copies
of all Section 16(a) forms which they file. Based on a review of copies of such
reports received by it, and on written statements of the reporting persons, the
Company believes that the reporting persons complied with all such Section 16(a)
filing requirements in a timely fashion, except as described below. Director
Michael J. McDonald filed one late report during 2000 for one transaction. This
failure to file timely was inadvertent.
