NOTE A - Basis of Presentation
The financial information includes the accounts of Juniata Valley Financial
Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Operating results for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in Juniata Valley Financial Corp. annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
NOTE B - Accounting Standards
In June of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which addresses the financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This
Statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable
estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are
capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. This
Statement will become effective for the Bank on January 1, 2003.
In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." This statement provides
guidance on accounting for the acquisition of a financial institution, including
the acquisition of part of a financial institution. The statement defines
criteria for determining whether the acquired financial institution meets the
conditions for a "business combination". If the acquisition meets the conditions
of a "business combination", the specialized accounting guidance under Statement
No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions"
will not apply after September 30, 2002 and the amount of the unidentifiable
intangible asset will be reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of Statement No.
147. The transition provisions were effective on October 1, 2002.
Adoption of these Statements is not expected to have a material impact on the
Bank's financial condition or results of operations.
8.
NOTE C - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses,
gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets
and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale
securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the
balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of
comprehensive income.
The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Forward Looking Statements:
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion,
the words "believes," "anticipates," "contemplates," "expects," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of opening a new
branch, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic
conditions. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly release the
results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made
to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.
Financial Condition:
Total assets of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. totaled $373,730,000 as of
September 30, 2002, an increase of $16,973,000 or 4.76% from December 31, 2001.
This increase is a result of the increase in deposits of $15,206,000. Some of
the increase in deposits was created by the uncertainty in the capital markets;
customers do not know where to hold their money until the markets improve. These
deposits were used to fund the increase in loan demand of $5,496,000 and to pay
for the decrease in short-term borrowings of $1,275,000. Also the increase in
deposits was used for purchases of investment securities which exceeded proceeds
by $2,873,000, and provide stockholders with a cash dividend payment of
$1,005,000. All of this resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of
$6,918,000.
There are no material loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss,
doubtful, substandard or special mention which management expects to
significantly impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.
Additionally, management is not aware of any information which would give
serious doubt as to the ability of its borrowers to substantially comply with
their loan repayment terms. The Corporation's problem loans (i.e., 90 days past
due and restructured loans) were not material for all periods presented.
Management is not aware of any current recommendations of the regulatory
authorities which, if implemented, would have a material effect on the
Corporation's liquidity, capital resources, or operations.
10.
Results of Operations:
Interest income decreased $1,028,000 or 5.50% for the nine months of 2002 over
2001. For the quarter the decrease was $295,000 or 4.76%. The decrease for
interest income on loans for nine months of $962,000 is because of a decline in
rates. The increase in interest income for taxable securities of $213,000 is due
to higher volume in the first nine months in 2002 over 2001. Tax-exempt
securities had a decrease of $38,000 over the same period. The decline in
interest income other of $241,000 is a decline in the dollar amount of federal
funds sold. Since November 2001 management has made an effort to keep federal
funds to a minimum by purchasing time certificate of deposits in other banks.
Interest expense decreased by $2,125,000 or 23.16% for the first nine months of
2002 over 2001 and $708,000 or 23.37% for the quarter. Interest income and
expense for the first nine months ended September 30, 2002, versus 2001, reflect
the declining interest rate environment for both interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities. This resulted in an increase in net interest
income of $1,097,000 or 11.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and
$413,000 or 13.06% for the quarter.
The increase in the allowance for loan losses is based upon quarterly loan
portfolio reviews by management and a committee of the Board. The purpose of the
review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze
delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and
recoveries and assess general economic conditions in the market served. Net
charge-offs at September 30, 2002, were $122,000 compared to $130,000 at
September 30, 2001. Past due and nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2002, were
$2,381,000. At September 30, 2001, this amount for past due and nonaccrual loans
was $3,684,000. Depending upon the state of the economy and the impact thereon
to these borrowers, as well as future events, these loans and others not
currently so identified could be classified as non-performing assets in the
future. The increase in the provision is not reflective of a decline in
underwriting standards or potential problem loans.
Other income has increased $58,000 or 4.03% for the first nine months of 2002
over 2001. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, there has been a decline of
$34,000 or 6.68%. Trust department income has decreased $74,000, customer
service fees have increased $41,000, and other income has increased $91,000. The
decrease in trust department income is a result of estate settlements in 2001
over 2002. The increase in customer service fees is a result of higher
transaction volume as opposed to an increase in fees. The other category
increase can be attributed to a bank owned life insurance which added $25,000 in
2002 over 2001, an increase in mutual fund commissions of $42,000, and an
increase of $16,000 in credit card interchange fees.
Other expenses increased $300,000 or 4.66% for the first nine months ended
September 30, 2002 over 2001 and $131,000 or 6.13% for the quarter. The $110,000
increase in salary and wages for the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
compared to 2001, can be attributed to normal merit increases. The $79,000
increase in employee benefits is reflective of increases in the costs as opposed
to additional benefits. The $79,000 increase in occupancy is a result of
increased costs for the financial center that was occupied in December 2000. The
decrease of $9,000 in equipment cost is from the renegotiation of a computer
processing contract. The $25,000 decrease in director's fees is from a
retirement plan which is now fully funded. The $13,000 increase in taxes, other
than income is an increase in Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax. The $53,000 increase
in other expenses can be attributed to $20,000 consulting service fees and
$12,000 of legal fees for loan collection. The increase in federal income taxes
is due to increased income.
All of these factors combined have contributed to an increase in net income of
$491,000 or 14.56% for the first nine months ended September 30, 2002 over 2001
and $76,000 or 6.77% for the quarter.
11.
Liquidity:
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that sufficient funding is
available, at a reasonable cost, to meet the ongoing operational cash needs of
the Corporation and to take advantage of income producing opportunities as they
arise. While the desired level of liquidity will vary depending upon a variety
of factors, it is the primary goal of the Corporation to maintain a high level
of liquidity in all economic environments. Principal sources of asset liquidity
are provided by securities maturing in one year or less, other short-term
investments such as federal funds sold and cash and due from banks. Liability
liquidity, which is more difficult to measure, can be met by attracting deposits
and maintaining the core deposit base. The Corporation joined the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Pittsburgh in August of 1993 for the purpose of providing
short-term liquidity when other sources are unable to fill these needs.
In view of the primary and secondary sources previously mentioned, Management
believes that the Corporation's liquidity is capable of providing the funds
needed to meet loan demand.
Interest Rate Sensitivity:
Interest rate sensitivity management is the responsibility of the
Asset/Liability Management Committee. This process involves the development and
implementation of strategies to maximize net interest margin, while minimizing
the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. The traditional gap
analysis identifies the maturity and repricing terms of all assets and
liabilities.
As of September 30, 2002, the Corporation had a six-month negative gap of
$15,409,000. Generally a liability sensitive position indicates that more
liabilities than assets are expected to reprice within the time period and that
falling interest rates could positively affect net interest income while rising
interest rates could negatively affect net interest income. However, the
traditional analysis does not accurately reflect the Bank's interest rate
sensitivity since the rates on core deposits generally do not change as quickly
as market rates. Historically net interest income has, in fact, not been subject
to the degree of sensitivity indicated by the traditional analysis at The
Juniata Valley Bank.
12.
Capital Adequacy:
The Bank's regulatory capital ratios for the periods presented are as follows:
Risk Weighted Assets Ratio:
Actual Required
------ --------
September 30, December 31, September 30, December 31,
2002 2001 2002 2001
------------ ------------ ------------- ------------
TIER I 18.71% 18.46% 4.0% 4.0%
TIER I & II 19.83% 19.56% 8.0% 8.0%
Total Assets
Leveraged Ratio:
TIER I 12.19% 11.98% 4.0% 4.0%
At September 30, 2002, the Corporation and the Bank exceed the regulatory
requirements to be considered a "well capitalized" financial institution.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:
From January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001, the Federal Reserve has lowered the
federal funds rate eight times by 425 basis points. We are currently in the
lowest interest rate environment in 40 years. Net interest margin for the Bank
was 4.24% at September 30, 2001 and increased to 4.57% at September 30, 2002.
Because of the extent to which rates have declined this year, the Bank has
become more sensitive to future rate declines and expects added compression of
the net interest margin. Currently, the Bank has 28.63% of its deposits in NOW,
money market and savings accounts, which it considers core deposits. These types
of interest bearing deposit accounts carry lower rates relative to other types
of deposits. Because of this, these accounts have contributed significantly to
the net interest margin. However, there is an ultimate floor to which the rates
on these accounts can fall. Under current conditions, the inability to further
decrease these deposits rates while loan and other earning assets continue to
drop and reprice at lower rates will result in further compression of the net
interest margin. The added risk in this interest rate environment is that as the
rates on the core deposits bottom-out, investors could migrate to other types of
accounts paying higher rates. The last financial simulation performed by the
Bank as of June 30, 2002, showed a possible decline in net interest income of
$227,000 in a -200 basis point rate shock over a one year period. This reflected
a change in the assumptions that the rates on NOW and savings accounts would
remain constant in a +/-200 basis point rate shock. The net interest income at
risk position remains within the guidelines established by the Bank's
asset/liability policy. The Bank continues to monitor and manage its rate
sensitivity during these unusual times.
No material change has been noted in the Bank's equity value at risk. Please
refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2001, for further
discussion of this matter.
