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
six-month period ended June 30, 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 consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in Juniata Valley Financial Corp. annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2002.
NOTE B - 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 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 performance 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 Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the
Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The
Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for performance letters of credit is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company had
$1,011,000 of performance letters of credit as of June 30, 2003. The Bank uses
the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance sheet instruments.
The majority of these performance letters of credit expire within the next
twelve months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The
Company requires collateral and personal guarantees supporting these letters of
credit as deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained
through a liquidation of such collateral and the enforcement of personal
guarantees would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future
payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the
liability as of June 30, 2003 for guarantees under performance letters of credit
issued after December 31, 2002 is not material.
8.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and
Interpretation of ARB No. 51". This interpretation provides new guidance for the
consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) and requires such entities to
be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not
effectively disperse risk among parties involved. The interpretation also adds
disclosure requirements for investors that are involved with unconsolidated
VIEs. The disclosure requirements apply to all financial statements issued after
January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply immediately to VIEs
created after January 31, 2003 and are effective for the first fiscal year or
interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for VIEs acquired before February
1, 2003. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a significant impact
on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
149, "Amendment of Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives 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 statement 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 Corporation's financial condition or results of
operations.
In May of 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 150,
"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity". This Statement requires that an issuer classify a
financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability. Many of those
instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement was effective
for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and
otherwise was effective beginning July 1, 2003. The adoption of this standard
did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.
9.
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 affects are as
follows:

Note D - Stock Option Plan
The Corporation accounts for the stock option plan under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation
cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the
date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,"
to stock-based compensation for quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

Item 2 - 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 $394,109,000 as of June
30, 2003, an increase of $18,374,000 or 4.89% from December 31, 2002. This
increase is a result of the increase in deposits of $17,401,000. The increase in
deposits was created by the uncertainty in the capital markets; customers do not
know where to place their money until the markets improve. Consumer sentiment is
more positive about the economy because the bank has experienced an increase in
loans of $2,787,000 in the first six months of 2003. Investment securities were
used since loan demand did not keep pace with the inflow of deposits. Purchases
exceeded called and matured investment securities by $9,860,000. All of these
factors combined to increase cash and cash equivalents by $4,479,000.
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.
12.
Results of Operations:
Interest income decreased $278,000 or 2.37% for the first six months of 2003
over 2002. For the quarter the decrease was $101,000 or 1.71%. The decrease for
interest income on loans for six months of $121,000 is because of a decline in
rates. For the quarter the increase of $1,000 for interest income on loans is
due to higher loan volume. The decrease in interest income for taxable
securities of $47,000 is due to declining rates and the decrease in tax exempt
securities of $148,000 is due to declining rates and volume. For the quarter the
decline of $34,000 in taxable securities income and $83,000 in tax-exempt
securities income were caused by the same factors. The increase in interest
income other of $38,000 is an increase in federal funds sold of $17,000 and
interest bearing time deposits in banks of $21,000. For the quarter, the
increase of $15,000 can be attributed to a $6,000 increase in federal funds sold
and $9,000 to interest bearing time deposits in banks. 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
$798,000 or 16.88% for the first six months of 2003 over 2002 and $391,000 or
16.96% for the quarter. Interest income and expense for the first six months
ended June 30, 2003, versus 2002, 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 $520,000 or 7.41% for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 and $290,000 or 8.07% for the quarter.
The increase in the allowance for loan loss 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 June 30, 2003, were $94,000 compared to $43,000 at June 30, 2002.
Past due and nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2003, were $2,497,000. At June 30,
2002, this amount for past due and nonaccrual loans was $3,356,000. 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.
Other income has increased $95,000 or 9.30% for the first six months of 2003
over 2002. For the quarter the increase was $92,000 or 17.79%. Trust department
income has increased $27,000, customer service fees have increased $18,000, and
other income has increased $50,000. For the quarter trust department income
increased $55,000, customer service fees have increased $8,000, and other income
has increased $29,000. The increase in trust department income is a result of an
increase in pension plan administration in 2003 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 an increase
of earnings on the bank owned life insurance of $37,000 and an increase in
credit card interchange fees of $17,000. For the quarter the earnings on the
bank owned life insurance increased $16,000 and the increase in credit card
interchange fees was $9,000.
Other expenses increased $370,000 or 8.27% for the six months ended June 30,
2003 over 2002 and $166,000 or 7.26% for the quarter. The $158,000 increase in
salary and wages for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to 2002, can
be attributed to an increase of 2 full-time equivalents and normal merit
increases. The increase of $101,000 for the quarter can be attributed to the
same factors. The $36,000 increase in employee benefits is reflective of
increases in the costs as opposed to additional benefits. This increase for the
quarter was $22,000. The $45,000 increase in occupancy is a result of increased
costs for snow removal and heating costs in 2003 not experienced in the first
six months of 2002. This is revealed in the small increase for the quarter of
$7,000. The increase of $18,000 in equipment cost is from increased usage of the
internet banking and telephone banking products. Equipment costs declined by
$7,000 for the quarter because of cost incurred in 2002 that were not
experienced in 2003. The $40,000 increase in director's fees is from a
retirement plan put in place in 2001. The increase for the quarter was $19,000.
13.
The $9,000 increase in taxes, other than income is an increase in Pennsylvania
Bank Shares Tax. The increase for the quarter was $3,000. The $64,000 increase
in other expenses can be attributed to $24,000 consulting service fees, a
$15,000 increase in postage, $12,000 of legal fees for loan collection and
$11,000 increase in credit investigation fees from the increased loan volume.
The increase for the quarter in other expenses of $21,000 can all be attributed
to consulting services. 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
$198,000 or 7.43% for the first six months ended June 30, 2003 over 2002 and
$196,000 or 14.74% for the quarter.
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 June 30, 2003, the Corporation had a six-month negative gap of
$11,193,000. 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.

Capital Adequacy:
The Bank's regulatory capital ratios for the periods presented are as follows:
Risk Weighted Assets Ratio:
Actual Required
------ --------
June 30, December 31, June 30, December 31,
2003 2002 2003 2002
-------- ------------ -------- ------------
TIER I 18.61% 18.76% 4.0% 4.0%
TIER I & II 19.77% 19.93% 8.0% 8.0%
Total Assets Leveraged Ratio:
TIER I 11.73% 12.04% 4.0% 4.0%
At June 30, 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 June 30, 2003, the Federal Reserve has lowered the
federal funds rate thirteen times by 500 basis points. We are currently in the
lowest interest rate environment in 50 years. Net interest margin for the Bank
was 4.44% at June 30, 2002 and decreased to 4.37% at June 30, 2003. Because of
the extent to which rates have declined, the Bank has become more sensitive to
future rate declines and expects added compression of the net interest margin.
Currently, the Bank has approximately 30.00% of its deposits in NOW, money
market and savings accounts, which it considers core deposits. These type 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 March 30, 2003, showed a possible decline in net interest income of
$256,000 in a -100 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 -100 or +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, 2002, for further
discussion of this matter.

Item 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule
13a-14 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including
the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and
procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect the internal controls as of June 30,
2003.
