NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
three month period ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. 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, 2003.
NOTE B - 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
follows:

NOTE C - 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 March 31, 2004 and 2003:

NOTE E - Guarantees
The Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability
recognition or disclosure, other than its letters of credit. Letters of credit
written are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit,
when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in
issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in
extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation, generally, holds
collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The
Corporation had $867,000 of letters of credit as of March 31, 2004. Management
believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the
enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of
future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount
of the liability as of March 31, 2004 for guarantees under standby letters of
credit issued is not material.
NOTE F - Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
The Corporation has a defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all
of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees'
compensation. The Corporation's funding policy is to contribute annually the
maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income taxes purposes.
Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to
service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future.
Pension expense included the following components for the quarter ended March
31, 2004.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Disclosure of the Corporation's significant accounting policies is included in
the notes to the financial statements of the Bank's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2003. Some of these policies are particularly
sensitive, requiring significant judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made
by management, most particularly in connection with determining the provision
for loan losses and the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.
Additional information is contained in this form 10-Q on pages 10 and 11.
Financial Condition:
Total assets of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. totaled $387,266,000 as of March
31, 2004, a decrease of $514,000 or .13% from December 31, 2003. Consumer
sentiment is more positive about the economy because the bank has experienced an
increase in loans of $7,766,000 in the first three months of 2004. Investment
securities were used since loan demand did not keep pace with the inflow of
deposits. Purchases exceeded called and matured investment securities by
$12,148,000. The remaining portion of the inflows of investments were placed in
federal funds until suitable investment securities could be found. A special
$1.00 cash dividend was paid on February 27, 2004 of $2,284,000. All of these
factors combined to increase cash and cash equivalents by $3,180,000.
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.
11.
Results of Operations:
Interest income decreased $356,000 or 6.28% for the first three months of 2004
over 2003. The decrease for interest income on loans for three months of $88,000
is because of a decline in rates of .78%. The decrease in interest income for
taxable securities of $154,000 is due to declining rates and the decrease in tax
exempt securities of $83,000 is due to declining rates and volume. The decline
in rates for securities was .77%. The decrease in interest income other of
$31,000 is due to a decrease in federal funds sold of $16,000 and interest
bearing time deposits in banks of $14,000. 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 $375,000 or 18.60% for
the first three months of 2004 over 2003. Interest income and expense for the
first three months ended March 31, 2004, versus 2003, 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 $19,000 or
..52% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
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 March 31, 2004 were $11,000 compared to $57,000 at March 31,
2003. Past due and non-accrual loans at March 31, 2004 were $2,263,000. At March
31, 2003, this amount for past due and non-accrual loans was $2,204,000.
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 $320,000 or 63.12% for the first three months of 2004
over 2003. Trust department income increased $47,000, customer service fees
increased $118,000, and gain on sale of securities increased $133,000. The
increase in trust department income is a result of an increase in pension plan
administration and investment management in 2004 over 2003. The increase in
customer service fees is a result of higher transaction volume as opposed to an
increase in fees. The increased volume is due to the introduction of an
overdraft privilege program introduced in November 2003. The sales of securities
were taken because of attractive gains available.
Other expenses increased $226,000 or 9.45% for the three months ended March 31,
2004 over 2003. The $52,000 increase in salary and wages for the three months
ended March 31, 2004, compared to 2003, can be attributed to an increase of 5
full-time equivalents and normal merit increases. The $51,000 increase in
employee benefits is reflective of increases in the costs as opposed to
additional benefits. The $15,000 increase in occupancy is a result of
depreciation expense from the Water Street community office remodeling. The
increase of $106,000 in equipment cost is from increased usage of the internet
banking and telephone banking products and installation of the teller and
platform automation systems. Director compensation and taxes other than income
had no significant changes. The other expenses increased $7,000 which can be
attributed to insurance costs. The increase in federal income taxes is due to an
increase of the effective tax rate due to a decline in tax free securities.
All of these factors combined have contributed to an increase in net income of
$17,000 or 1.27% for the first three months ended March 31, 2004 over 2003.
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.
12.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
The Corporation's financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet
arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve
some liquidity risk, credit risk and interest rate risk. These commitments
consist mainly of loan approved but not yet funded, unused lines of credit and
letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Letters of
credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the financial performance
obligation of a customer to a third party. Unused commitments at March 31, 2004,
were $34,276,000. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and
because may of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally
present any significant liquidity risk to the Corporation. Management believes
that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of
operations.
The Corporation has no investment in or financial relationship with any
unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on
liquidity or the availability of capital resources.
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 March 31, 2004, the Corporation had a six-month negative gap of
$12,733,000. Generally a liability sensitive position indicates that more
liabilities than assets are expected to re-price 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
------ --------
March 31, December 31, March 31, December 31,
2004 2003 2004 2003
--------- ------------ --------- ------------
TIER I 18.02% 18.89% 4.0% 4.0%
TIER I & II 19.19% 20.05% 8.0% 8.0%
Total Assets Leveraged Ratio:
TIER I 11.60% 11.93% 4.0% 4.0%
At March 31, 2004, the Corporation and the Bank exceed the regulatory
requirements to be considered a "well capitalized" financial institution.
13.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:
From January 1, 2001 to March 31, 2004, 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
Corporation was 4.17% at December 31, 2002 and increased to 4.23% at December
31, 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 33.00% 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 re-price 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 December 31, 2003, showed a
possible decline in net interest income of $195,000 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
