BUSINESS - ----------------- The information appearing in the Annual Report under the caption "Description of Business" on page 43 is herein incorporated by reference. REGULATION AND SUPERVISION THE CORPORATION The Corporation is a one-bank holding company formed under the provisions of Section 3 of the Federal Reserve Act. The Corporation is under the direct supervision of the Federal Reserve Board and must comply with the reporting requirements of the Federal Bank Holding Company Act. A one-bank or multi-bank holding company is prohibited under Section 3 (a)(3) of the Act from acquiring either directly or indirectly 5% or more of the voting shares of any bank or bank holding company without prior Board approval. Additionally, Section 3 (a)(3) prevents, without prior Board approval, an existing bank holding company from increasing its ownership in an existing subsidiary bank unless a majority (greater than 50 percent) of the shares are already owned (Section 3 (a)(B) ). A bank holding company which owns more than 50 percent of a bank's shares may buy and sell those shares freely without Board approval, provided the ownership never drops to 50 percent or less. If the holding company owns 50 percent or less of a bank's shares, prior Board approval is required before such additional acquisition of shares takes place until ownership exceeds 50 percent. Under current Pennsylvania law, which became effective March 4, 1990, bank holding companies located in any state may acquire banks and bank holding companies located in Pennsylvania provided that the laws of such state grant reciprocal rights to Pennsylvania bank holding companies and that 75% of the domestic deposits are located in a state granting reciprocity. THE BANK The Bank is a state chartered nonmember bank, supervised by and under the reporting requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

List of Subsidiaries 8 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Citizens & Northern Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citizens & Northern Corporation and subsidiaries ("Corporation") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Citizens & Northern Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for securities and income taxes in 1993. Williamsport, Pennsylvania January 22, 1996 9 EX-99 2 ARS TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS: It is the belief of Citizens & Northern Corp. that a well-run, independent community bank can produce a fair rate of return to its shareholders and meet the financial needs of its banking community. The results produced in 1995 were very satisfactory for C&N, thus meeting our expressed goals. Net after-tax income for 1995 totaled $7,866,000 or $1.57 per share, compared to 1994's net income of $7,494,000, or $1.50 per share. The net-earnings-to- average-assets ratio was 1.39%, once again higher than our peer group banks. Dividends to our shareholders for 1995 increased 5.7% to 65 cents per share plus a 1% stock dividend, compared to the dividend in 1994 of 61.5 cents per share plus a 1% stock dividend. Total assets grew $39.5 million, or 7.2%, to a new high of $586 million at year end 1995. Deposits increased $30.3 million, or 7.6%, to $429.6 million in 1995. Net loans rose $5.4 million, or 2.1%, to $259.6 million over last year. Shareholders' equity less unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities increased $4.6 million, or 8.4%, to $60 million. Shareholders' equity including unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities gained $20.2 million, or 43.1%, to $67 million. C&N maintains a strong capital position, well above the regulators' requirements and above our banking peer group. Only one major structural improvement was made to our fifteen banking offices in 1995 and that was to our Towanda office. All-new teller counters were added and offices were renovated to be used by the loan officers, as well as the Towanda trust officer. We are continuing to improve and increase our computer operations, which are vital to enhancing customer service. We were saddened by the untimely death on September 8 of Paul (Nick) Ritter, who headed our Trust Department for over 26 years. He will be missed both as a friend and a fellow worker. The Trust Department, now headed by Thomas L. Briggs, is continuing to grow at a very good pace. The total market value of trust assets increased in 1995 to $181.1 million, or 24%, over the 1994 year-end total of $146.2 million. The fee income generated by the department increased 25% in 1995 to $726,000 for 1995. Of the numerous services offered by the Trust Department, two important services used by our customers are employee benefit services and investment management services. These two services will continue to increase fees for the department in the years to come. We were also saddened by the passing of our good friends, Paul B. Harden and Dick Hall. Paul passed away on January 1, 1996. Paul retired in 1988 after serving for over 16 years as our senior vice president and also as a director for over 22 years. Dick passed away in May 1995. He was an assistant vice president and had been employed at C&N for 45 years, retiring in 1993 Another sad note was the passing of Arlene Weatherbee. A C&N employee and officer for 30 years, Arlene retiored in 1988. The success of Citizens & Northern can be attributed directly to our directors and staff, all of whom are dedicated and work diligently to make the bank a successful financial institution. During 1995, the staff continued to further their education, thus enabling them to better serve our customers. a total of 115 employees attended banking courses or educational seminars, 10 attended advanced banking schools and 4 graduated from these advanced schools. C&N's aim as an independent community financial institution is to provide the finest of financial services that enhance the success and health of individuals, industries, businesses and communities in which we reside and work. Citizens & Northern's outstanding staff, its strong capital, its stable earnings, its technological resources and its strong market position in our area provide an excellent base for our continued success. We look forward to 1996, which should once again prove to be a very satisfactory year for your bank. 1 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

5 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens and Northern Corporation ("Corporation"), and its subsidiaries, Citizens and Northern Bank ("Bank") and Bucktail Life Insurance Company. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. NATURE OF OPERATIONS - The Corporation is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and mortgage services to individual and corporate customers in Northcentral Pennsylvania. It also provides other services, such as Trust activities. The Corporation is subject to competition from other financial institutions. It is also subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examination by those regulatory authorities. USE OF ESTIMATES - The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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 these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale, management relies on appraisals of its internal certified appraiser. Management believes that the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale are adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed assets held for sale, changes in economic conditions may necessitate revisions of these estimates in future years. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for losses on loans and valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additional losses based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - As of December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS No. 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". In accordance with SFAS No. 115, such investments are accounted for as follows: HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES - includes debt securities that the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. These securities are reported at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed using a method approximating the level-yield basis. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES - includes debt and equity securities not classified as held-to-maturity securities. Such securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred income taxes, as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The Corporation reclassified securities with a book value of $141,229,000 from held- to-maturity to available-for-sale as of December 31, 1993. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are computed on the basis of specific identification of the adjusted cost of each security. The fair values of the majority of the Corporation's investments are estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain state and municipal securities is not readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued. The carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values. 6 LOANS AND LEASE FINANCE RECEIVABLES ("LOANS") - Loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan fees and unearned discounts. Unearned discounts on installment loans are recognized as income over the term of the loans using a method that approximates the interest method. Loan origination and commitment fees, as well as certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the lives of the related loans using the interest method. Amortization of deferred loan fees is discontinued when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, collection of interest is doubtful. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest income is generally not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Repair and maintenance expenditures which extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and other repair expenditures are expensed as incurred. When premises or equipment are retired or sold, the remaining cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the account and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. FORECLOSED ASSETS HELD FOR SALE - Foreclosed assets held for sale consist of real estate acquired by foreclosure and are carried at the lower of fair value minus estimated cost to sell or cost. The book value of foreclosed assets held for sale at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 was $455,000 and $644,000, respectively. Foreclosed assets held for sale amounting to $428,000 and $711,000 and $318,000 were acquired from the foreclosure of real estate loans during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS - The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. It is the Corporation's policy to fund pension costs on a current basis to the extent deductible under existing tax regulations. Such 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. In addition the Corporation has a profit-sharing plan which provides tax deferred salary savings under section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Corporation has also established a nonqualified "Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan" for selected key executives. In 1995, the Corporation adopted a Stock Incentive Plan for selected employees. Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of qualified options ("Incentive Stock Options", as defined by the Internal Revenue Code), nonqualified options, stock appreciation rights or grants of restrictive stock. The number of shares that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 60,000. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS - Net periodic postretirement benefits costs are based on provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions". 7 INCOME TAXES - Provisions for deferred income taxes are made as a result of temporary differences in financial and income tax methods of accounting. These differences relate principally to provisions for possible loan losses, amortization of loan origination fees and costs, depreciation of bank premises and equipment and accretion of discounts on investment securities. In 1993, the Corporation implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach for accounting and reporting for income taxes. The cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 109 as of January 1, 1993 resulted in an increase in net income for 1993 of $233,000 or $0.05 per share. PER SHARE DATA - Earnings and cash dividends per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted in each reporting period to give the retroactive effect of stock dividends declared in the fourth quarter of each year, payable in the first quarter of the next year. Weighted average shares used for computation of earnings and dividends per share also include the issuance of a 2 for 1 stock split recorded in the form of a stock dividend on October 14, 1994. The weighted average number of shares used in the earnings and dividends per share computations was 5,012,081 for 1995, 1994 and 1993. The assumed exercise of stock options (see Note 9) does not result in material dilution. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable. CASH FLOWS - The Corporation utilizes the net reporting of cash receipts and cash payments for certain deposit and lending activities. The Corporation considers all cash and amounts due from depository institutions, interest- bearing deposits in other banks, and federal funds sold to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. TRUST ASSETS AND INCOME - Assets held by the Corporation in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers are not included in the financial statements since such items are not assets of the Corporation. Trust income is recorded on a cash basis, which is not materially different from the accrual basis. RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain 1993 financial information has been reclassified where necessary to conform to the 1994 and 1995 financial statement presentation. 2. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS Banks are required to maintain reserves consisting of vault cash and deposit balances with the Federal Reserve Bank in their district. The reserves are based on deposit levels during the year and account activity and other services provided by the Federal Reserve Bank. Average daily currency, coin, and cash balances with the Federal Reserve Bank needed to cover reserves against deposits for 1995 ranged from $4,199,000 to $4,963,000. For 1994, these balances ranged from $4,062,000 to $5,360,000. Average daily cash balances with the Federal Reserve Bank required to cover services provided to the Bank amounted to $425,000 throughout 1995 and ranged from $425,000 to $525,000 for 1994. Total balances restricted at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were $5,405,000 and $5,414,000, respectively. Deposits with one financial institution are insured up to $100,000. The Corporation maintains cash and cash equivalents with certain financial institutions in excess of the insured amount. 8 3.

The Corporation grants commercial, residential and personal loans to customers primarily in Tioga, Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming counties. Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, a significant portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the local economic conditions within the region.

The weighted average interest rate was 6.10%, 5.07% and 4.70% for those same periods. 8. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information for financial instruments. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. 14 Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the estimates. Estimated fair values have been determined by the Corporation using historical data, as generally provided by the Corporation's regulatory reports, and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The method for determining the estimated fair value of the Corporation's investment securities is described in Note 1. The Corporation's fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Corporation's other financial instruments. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS - The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks reported in the consolidated balance sheet approximates these assets' fair value. LOANS - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, commercial real estate, residential mortgage, credit card and other consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories. The fair value of performing loans, except residential mortgage and credit card loans, is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Corporation's historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. For performing residential mortgage loans, fair value is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates using discount rates on secondary market sources adjusted to reflect differences in servicing and credit costs. For credit card loans, cash flows and maturities are estimated based on contractual interest rates and historical experience. Fair value on nonperforming loans is based on recent appraisals or estimates prepared by the Corporation's lending officers. The following table presents information on loans.

(1) Average maturity represents the expected cash flow period, which in some instances is different from the stated maturity. (2) Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented above would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale. DEPOSITS - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, money market and interest checking accounts is equal to the amount payable on demand at December 31, 1995. The fair value of all other deposit categories is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT - There is no material difference between the notional amount and the estimated fair value of off-balance sheet items which totaled $45,786,000 at December 31, 1995 and $44,583,000 at December 31, 1994 and are primarily comprised of unfunded loan commitments which are generally priced at market at the time of funding. 17 9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan") for all employees meeting certain age and length of service requirements. Benefits are based primarily on years of service and the average annual compensation during the highest five consecutive years within the final ten years of employment. The Corporation's funding policy is consistent with the funding requirements of federal law and regulations. Plan assets are comprised of common stock and U S Government and corporate debt securities. Net periodic pension cost includes the following components.
Year Ended December 31, (In Thousands) 1995 1994 1993 Service cost benefits earned during the period $ 174 $ 208 $ 201 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 342 322 312 Return on assets (960) (71) (271) Net amortization and deferral 541 (339) (112) Amortization of transition gain (23) (23) (22) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net periodic pension cost $ 74 $ 97 $ 108 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 1995, the accumulated benefit obligation and the vested benefit obligation were $4,025,000 and $4,012,000, respectively. The funded status of the Plan and amount recognized in the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet were as follows:
December 31, 1995 1994 Plan assets at fair value $ 5,854 $ 4,882 Projected benefit obligation (5,237) (4,236) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excess of assets over projected benefit obligation 617 646 Unrecognized net gain being recognized over employees' average remaining service life (342) (365) Deferred unexpected (gain) loss 90 (72) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepaid pension cost $ 365 $ 209 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The projected benefit obligation at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was determined using an assumed discount rate of 7.25% and 8.25 %, respectively, and an assumed long-term rate of compensation of 5.5% for both years. The assumed long- term rate of return on plan assets was 8.50% as of December 31, 1995 and 8.0% as of December 31, 1994. The Corporation has a profit sharing plan which incorporates the tax deferred salary savings provisions of Section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Corporation's matching contributions to the plan depend upon the tax deferred contributions of employees. The Corporation's basic and matching contributions for 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $365,000, $328,000 and $351,000, respectively. The Corporation also has a nonqualified supplemental deferred compensation arrangement with its key officers. Charges to expense for officers' supplemental deferred compensation for 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $75,000, $83,000 and $166,000, respectively. The Corporation has a Stock Incentive Plan for a selected group of senior officers. Nonqualified options to purchase shares of the Corporation's stock were issued in 1995 with an exercise price of $20.00 per share. The period of the options is 10 years commencing from the date of the grant, December 21, 1995. Not more than 20% of the options may be exercised in any one year. The options are not exercisable until 1 year from the date of the grant.
Shares Under Option 1995 Outstanding, beginning of year Granted during the year 12,100 Canceled during the year Outstanding, end of year 12,100
At December 31, 1995, there were 47,900 shares reserved for future grants. 18 10. POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE INSURANCE BENEFITS The Corporation sponsors a defined benefit health care plan that provides postretirement medical benefits and life insurance to employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements. Effective January 1, 1992, the plan contains cost-sharing features which cause participants to pay for all further increases in costs related to benefit coverage. The Corporation's policy is to fund the cost of the plan in amounts equal to the Corporation's share of medical benefits and life insurance premium costs. The following table shows the plan's funded status reconciled with amounts recognized in the Corporation's balance sheet at December 31, 1995 and 1994:
(In Thousands) 1995 1994 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligations: Retirees $ (472) $ (410) Active plan participants (269) (274) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total accumulated postretirement benefit obligations (741) (684) Plan assets at fair value - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (741) (684) Unrecognized net gain (79) (135) Unrecognized transition obligation 620 656 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accrued postretirement benefits cost $ (200) $ (163) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net periodic benefit cost for 1995, 1994 and 1993 includes the following components:

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Loans to executive officers, directors of the Corporation and its subsidiary and any associates of the foregoing persons are as follows:
(In Thousands) Beginning Other Ending Name of Borrower Balance New Loans Repayments Changes Balance 15 Directors, 3 Executive Officers 1995 $4,132 $2,046 $(1,638) $(99) $4,441 15 Directors, 4 Executive Officers 1994 3,566 1,910 (1,349) 5 4,132 15 Directors, 5 Executive Officers 1993 3,696 358 (388) (100) 3,566
The above transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and do not involve more than normal risks of collectibility. Other changes represent transfers in and out of the related party category. 13. OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments. 20 The Corporation'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 these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 1995:
Contract Amount Commitments to extend credit $43,153,000 Standby letters of credit $ 2,633,000
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 many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation, for extensions of credit is based on management's credit assessment of the counterparty. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation guaranteeing performance by a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are issued primarily to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. 14. REGULATORY MATTERS Federal regulators have adopted capital adequacy standards for all bank holding companies and banks which measure a banking company's capital to the risk profile of its assets. The regulation assigns a risk factor to each asset classification for the purpose of determining risk-based assets. Capital is then measured in relation to risk-based assets and in 1995 and 1994 bank holding companies and banks must have a total capital ratio of 8% of their risk-based assets. At least half of this capital or 4% must be in Tier 1 (core capital), which consists of stockholders' equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock together with related surplus and retained earnings. The remaining portion or Tier 2 Capital, consists of limited life preferred stock, qualifying debt instruments and the allowance for possible loan losses. The Corporation's total capital ratio as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 was 18.72% and 18.36%, respectively. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the core capital to risk-weighted assets was 17.47% and 17.11%, respectively. Capital ratio calculations exclude unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. Restrictions imposed by Federal Reserve Regulation H limit dividend payments in any year to the current year's net income plus the retained net income of the prior two years without any approval of the Federal Reserve Board. Accordingly, Company dividends in 1996 may not exceed $9,112,000, plus Company net income for 1996. Additionally, banking regulators limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Corporation. Retained earnings against which dividends may be paid without prior approval of the banking regulators amounted to approximately $43,370,000 at December 31, 1995, subject to the minimum capital ratio requirements noted above. Restrictions imposed by federal law prohibit the Corporation from borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured in specific amounts. Such secured loans to the Corporation are generally limited to 10% of the Bank's stockholders' equity or $5,576,000 at December 31, 1995. 21 15.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, END OF YEAR $ 16 $ 14 $ 25 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Citizens & Northern Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citizens & Northern Corporation and subsidiaries ("Corporation") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Citizens & Northern Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Corporation changed its methods of accounting for securities and income taxes in 1993. PARENTE, RANDOLPH, ORLANDO, CAREY & ASSOCIATES WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA JANUARY 22, 1996 23 MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL PLANNING January 19, 1996 To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Citizens & Northern Corporation Management of Citizens & Northern Corporation and its subsidiaries has prepared the consolidated financial statements and other information in the "Annual Report and Form 10-K" in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is responsible for its content and accuracy. In meeting its responsibility, management relies on internal accounting and related control systems, which include selection and training of qualified personnel, establishment and communication of accounting and administrative policies and procedures, appropriate segregation of responsibilities and programs of internal audit. These systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets and that assets are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition. Such assurance cannot be absolute because of inherent limitations in any internal control system. Management also recognizes its responsibility to foster a climate in which Company affairs are conducted with the highest ethical standards. The Company's Code of Conduct, furnished to each employee and director, addresses the importance of open internal communications, potential conflicts of interest, compliance with applicable laws, including those related to financial disclosure, the confidentiality of proprietary information and other items. There is an ongoing program to assess compliance with these policies. The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors consists solely of outside directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and the independent accountants to discuss audit, financial reporting and related matters. Parente, Randolph, Orlando, Carey & Associates and the Company's internal auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee. William K. Francis James W. Seipler Chairman, Treasurer President & CEO 24 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1995 PERFORMANCE REVIEW Citizens and Northern Corporation ("Corporation") and its major subsidiary, Citizens and Northern Bank ("Bank"), recorded per share earnings of $1.57 for the year ended December 31, 1995. This compares to 1994 and 1993 per share earnings of $1.50 and $1.62, respectively. Operating earnings for the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were adversely affected by rising interest rates and declining net interest margins when compared to the year ended December 31, 1993. Net interest margins for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 were 2.99%, 3.39% and 3.70%, respectively. The net interest margin began to show improvement during the second half of 1995 and management expects this trend to continue into 1996. This should provide a wider net interest margin than 1995; however, we will not reach levels achieved in 1993. Management feels confident that if interest rates remain stable during 1996 the Corporation will likely achieve earnings comparable to 1995. The Corporation should again in 1996 outperform its peer group as it has for the past several years. NET INTEREST MARGIN 1995/1994/1993 Primary operating income of the Corporation is derived from the net interest margin. The net interest margin is the difference between total interest income on interest producing assets and interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. INTEREST INCOME Average earning assets for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, were $549,837,000, $535,227,000 and $489,121,000. The average rate of return provided by the assets amounted to 8.22%, 7.91% and 8.06%, respectively. Earning assets of the Corporation consist primarily of investments and loans. The investment portfolio contains over half of the earning assets base. The average balance of the investment portfolio for the comparable periods was $288,397,000, $290,620,000 and $257,858,000, respectively. The return on the investment portfolio for the comparable periods was 6.41%, 6.40% and 6.24%, respectively. The investment portfolio is composed primarily of fixed rate mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC. Mortgage-backed instruments are preferred because they provide an adequate rate of return and cash flow from monthly payments. The down side of the instruments is prepayments during periods of falling interest rates. The portfolio also contains a predetermined level of tax free municipal securities which helps maintain a tax rate much lower than the statutory rate. The balance of the portfolio consists of corporate bonds and stock of Pennsylvania banks and Pennsylvania bank holding companies. The average balance of the loan portfolio for 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $259,142,000, $243,147,000 and $227,683,000, respectively. The average rate of return on the loan base for the comparable periods was 10.24%, 9.72% and 10.07%, respectively. The loan base of the Corporation is heavily weighted with mortgage loans to customers in our market area, primarily single family residential mortgages. The portfolio does, however, contain a large number of farm mortgages since farming is a primary industry in the Corporation's market area. The balance of the portfolio is made up of consumer loans, including credit cards, commercial loans and loans to municipalities. On the other side of the balance sheet, average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $468,146,000, $460,409,000 and $421,837,000, respectively. The average cost of interest- bearing liabilities was 5.23%, 4.52% and 4.36%, respectively, for the comparable periods. 25 The largest single source of interest-bearing liabilities is deposits. The largest deposit source historically has been time certificates of deposit. The certificates carry maturities ranging from six months to five years and over the years have provided a reliable source of funds to provide residential mortgages. Other major fund providers are money market and individual retirement accounts. The Corporation considers these core deposits and pays a slightly higher rate of return than other financial institutions in our market area. Passbook and statement savings have also been stable sources of low cost core deposits. Average balances on interest-bearing deposits for the periods ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $375,644,000, $356,230,000, and $345,471,000, respectively. The cost of the associated deposit liabilities was, respectively, for the comparable periods, 5.00%, 4.36% and 4.29%. The balance of the liability base consists of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and borrowed funds. The primary source of borrowed funds is the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. The Federal Home Loan Bank's primary function is to provide mortgage financing and as such it provides short and long term credits using the Corporation's mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities as a collateral base. The Corporation uses the borrowed funds to purchase mortgaged-backed instruments for its investment portfolio. The average balance of these short and long term borrowings for the periods ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $92,502,000, $104,179,000 and $76,366,000. The average cost of these borrowings for the comparable periods was 6.10%, 5.07% and 4.81%, respectively. The borrowed fund base does carry some risk. The funds are borrowed for relatively short terms, normally from one month to three years and the associated assets have much longer maturities. This creates a large negative gap which could have a detrimental impact on earnings during periods of rising interest rates. Management, however, continually monitors the interest rate risk and has set parameters using a 200 basis point upside interest rate swing. Upward interest rate movements also cause market value depreciation of the investment portfolio; parameters have also been set based on a 200 basis point upward shift. Management and the Board of Directors feel that the capital of the Corporation is adequate to support the interest rate risk and market value depreciation parameters imposed on management to support the inherent risk. Tables I through V present the relationship between interest income, interest expense and average balance sheet categories for the comparable periods. 26 TABLE I - ANALYSIS OF INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

The change in interest due to both volume and rates has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each. 30 NONINTEREST INCOME 1995/1994/1993 Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 increased $1,808,000, or 68% over 1994. The increase is due to gains on the sales of stocks of Pennsylvania banks and Pennsylvania bank holding companies. The sales were prompted by increases in value due to merger activity. Management and the Board of Directors felt that it would be prudent to lock in this increase in value. Some of the sales were the result of a recent FDIC ruling that bank stocks not listed on a recognized exchange must be disposed of or moved to the holding company. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $46,000 or 4.3% for the comparable years 1995 and 1994. The increase was the result of increased usage of account services and fees generated by the new statement imaging system installed in late 1994. The new system has been overwhelmingly accepted by the customer base and has streamlined operations. Customer checks are now destroyed after ninety days and the customer receives an image of the check in their statement. The Trust Department recorded earnings of $726,000 versus $582,000, when comparing periods ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, an increase of 24.7%. Trust Department fees are based on the market value of customer accounts and during 1995 the stock market posted significant increases in value, thereby increasing trust fees. The Trust Department also settled several estates during 1995 which also contributed additional fee income. Insurance commissions, fees, and premiums generated by the Corporation's insurance subsidiary, Bucktail Life Insurance Company, increased only slightly when comparing 1995 to 1994. Other operating income declined sharply during the year ended December 31, 1995, due to the income recorded during 1994 from the sale of an "Other Asset". Gain from that sale amounted to $265,000. The sale of fully depreciated item processing equipment and interest income generated by tax refunds also contributed $24,000 to 1994 other operating income. Had these items been excluded from 1994 totals, other operating income would have increased $8,000 during 1995. Total noninterest income in 1994 declined $689,000, a decrease of 20.55% when compared to 1993. The decline was due to realized securities gains in 1993 totaling $646,000. In 1994, realized losses on available-for-sale securities amounted to $219,000. Other operating income increased significantly in 1994 compared to 1993 due to the sale of an "Other Asset" for a gain of $265,000, as described above. The asset was a 1987-4 residual interest certificate which had been classified as noninvestment grade by the FDIC in 1989. The asset had been written down to a $1.00 carrying value at the request of the FDIC. Income recorded on the asset during 1994 and 1993 amounted to $15,000 and $194,000, respectively. Other entries causing an increase in noninterest income in 1994 over 1993 included the sale of fully depreciated equipment of $14,000 and interest on tax refunds of $10,000. The tax refunds totaled $56,000 on amended returns for 1990 and 1991. TABLE VI - COMPARISON OF NONINTEREST INCOME

31 OTHER NONINTEREST EXPENSE 1995/1994/1993 Other noninterest expense increased $482,000 or a modest 3.5% when comparing the year ended December 31, 1995 with the year ended December 31, 1994. Salaries and wages increased $381,000, an increase of 7.6%, when comparing the years 1995 and 1994. The increase was due to merit raises and an increase in full time equivalent employees from 194 at year end 1994 to 200 at year end 1995. Furniture and equipment expense increased $119,000 or 21.4%, when comparing 1995 to 1994. The increase can be attributed to depreciation expense and software maintenance agreements associated with the statement imaging system that became operational in the fall of 1994. These additional expenditures should be reduced over the long term by a reduction in personnel and postage costs. Other operating expense declined $22,000 in 1995 when compared to 1994. The single largest factor contributing to the decrease was FDIC insurance. Insurance costs decreased by $420,000, net of a refund of $253,508 received in September 1995. As a well capitalized institution, the Corporation benefited from a reduction in rates during 1995 that resulted from the Bank Insurance Fund's attainment of statutory reserve levels. Relatedly, the Corporation will pay a flat amount of $2,000 for 1996. Several categories of other operating expense increased in 1995, most notably credit card processing costs. Credit card processing costs increased $172,000 when comparing 1995 to 1994. The increased cost is related to interchange fees which are the cost to the Corporation for the use of its credit cards on other networks. Other expense items reflecting increases during 1995 were Pennsylvania Shares Tax $30,000, bank examination charges $32,000, repairs and maintenance to equipment $33,000 and other losses $37,000. Noninterest expense for the period ended December 31, 1994 increased $678,000 or 5.25% when compared to the period ended December 31, 1993. Salaries and wages increased $240,000 or 5.04% when comparing the years 1994 and 1993. The increase can be attributed to merit increases and an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees. There were 194 full time equivalent employees at December 31, 1994 and 189 at December 31, 1993. Pension and employee benefits declined slightly in 1994 compared to 1993. The decline was due to the drop in the contribution to the profit sharing plan brought about by the retirement of several employees who had been with the Bank for several years. The retirement of two executive officers also caused a decrease of $83,000 in the amount of the contribution to the Corporation's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Occupancy expense during 1994 increased $70,000 when compared to 1993. This was due to increased building maintenance costs, including janitor supplies and depreciation. Depreciation expense increased $20,000 over 1993 due to the construction of a new office in East Smithfield and extensive renovation of other offices. Furniture and equipment expense increased 9.45% when comparing 1994 to 1993. The increased expense is due to depreciation on the previously mentioned check imaging system. The cost of the system was $877,000. A comparison of 1994 and 1993 other operating expense shows an increase of $362,000 or 6.75%. This increase can be attributed to the following items: credit card processing costs, FDIC insurance, Pennsylvania shares tax and donations. Credit card costs increased $273,000 due to increased transaction volume and card holders. FDIC insurance increased $45,000 because of increased coverage levels and Pennsylvania shares tax increased, because of capital growth. The Corporation also made two large donations during 1994: a building in the village of Elkland, Pa. to the local library and appreciated stock to the Soldiers and Sailors Hospital in Wellsboro, Pa. The building had a book value of $61,000 and the stock had a carrying value of $36,000. 32 TABLE VII- COMPARISON OF NONINTEREST EXPENSE

INCOME TAXES The Corporation's income tax provision reflected as a per share cost to stockholders amounted to $.50, $.47 and $.51, respectively for 1995, 1994, and 1993. The amount of income tax payable per common share for those years was $.52, $.41 and $.54, respectively. The per share tax payable for 1995 is a reasonable estimate as the return has not been prepared. The difference between the amount of income tax currently payable and the amount reflected in the Corporation's income statement is caused by temporary differences. Generally, temporary differences occur when an item of income or expense is included in taxable income during different accounting periods for financial statement and tax return purposes. The most significant items creating temporary differences are accretion on bonds, depreciation, loan loss expense, loan fees and expense and employee benefit plans. There are items included in the income statement that are not fully taxable, including dividends received from certain domestic corporations and a portion of interest received on municipal bonds and loans. During 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", was adopted. The standard requires deferred income taxes to be recorded at current tax rates. With the implementation of SFAS No. 109, the Corporation recognized an increase in income amounting to $233,000. This adjustment was the result of a decline in current tax rates. The adjustment was reflected as "The Cumulative Effect of an Accounting Change" on the Corporation's income statement. The reader should refer to Note 11 of the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements" for a more complete analysis of income tax expense. ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES The allowance for possible loan losses is a reserve created by charges to earnings to cover current and future losses which may occur in the loan portfolio. The balance in the reserve is reviewed by management and the Board of Directors quarterly. Factors used to determine the adequacy include the following: 1. Portfolio quality as determined by a review of an outside loan appraiser. 2. Regulatory examinations. 3. A monthly review of the "Watch List" by management and the Board of Directors. 4. Regulatory requirements. 5. Ability to recover losses and earnings coverage of losses. 33 PORTFOLIO QUALITY The Corporation employs the services of an independent loan appraiser who reviews loans based on parameters supplied by the Board of Directors. The review is very comprehensive and includes the examination of loan documentation, borrower's cash flow or ability to repay based on current financial information and the collateral associated with each loan. The appraiser reviews all loans of $175,000 or more and all loans of $100,000 which have been previously classified. The report prepared by the loan appraiser isolates all loans the reviewer perceives to be problems. The loans are then categorized as loans that are improperly documented, substandard, doubtful and loss. The loan appraisal was completed in the third quarter of 1995. The loan portfolio is normally reviewed annually by the FDIC or the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. After each review a list of charge-offs is presented to management. The examination in 1995 was conducted by the Pennsylvania Department Lof Banking as of March 31, 1995. Management also charges off loans at the end of each quarter that it feels are uncollectible.

PROJECTED LOSS PREDICTIONS The Corporation also prepares loss predictions, quarterly, based on charge-off history and current portfolio quality. The predictions are calculated on the ratio of charge-offs by loan type applied to the current outstanding balance of that particular loan category. The ratios are calculated using a six year history of charge-offs. Two predictions are prepared: most likely and worst case. The most likely prediction uses the most recent six year history excluding any year that experienced abnormally large charge-offs and any year that had abnormally low recoveries. The worst case includes years of exceptionally high charge-offs. After the estimated charge-offs are determined using the two methods, the reserve balance is calculated and a determination is made as to its adequacy. If it is found that the reserve will be inadequate, the budgeted charge to earnings is adjusted. The reserve is then divided into allocated and unallocated portions. A comparison is also made to the Corporation's peer group. At year end 1995 the Corporation's reserve was slightly higher than that of its peer group when comparing the latest information available. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 became effective in 1995. SFAS No. 114 requires that certain impaired loans be reflected in the Corporation's balance sheet using one of the following valuation methods: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, (2) the loan's observable market price, or (3) the fair value of the collateral associated with the loan. SFAS No. 114 does not apply to the majority of the Corporation's loans. Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans may be collectively evaluated for impairment. Examples of such loans include residential mortgage, credit card and consumer installment loans. 34 The Corporation has implemented SFAS No. 114 by evaluating its impaired loans based on the fair value of the collateral since all of the impaired loans in 1995 are collateral dependent. Based on this analysis, the Corporation has established an allowance of $228,000, included in the allowance for possible loan losses as of December 31, 1995, related to impaired loans.

* Gross Loans less Unearned Discount (1) At December 31, 1995 (2) At September 30, 1995 MONTHLY "WATCH LIST" REVIEW The Corporation prepares a monthly "Watch List" of delinquent or otherwise potential problem loans. The list is distributed to branch managers or lending officers responsible for the loans. The branch manager or lending officer must update each loan with its current status. A review of the updated list isolates loans which are still delinquent, possible charge-offs, bankruptcies, foreclosures, etc. This list also reflects large problem loans that may require a separate reserve allocation or an increase in the monthly charge to earnings in addition to the budgeted amount. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS The FDIC, in conjunction with other regulatory agencies, issued an interagency policy statement outlining the responsibility of the Board of Directors as it relates to the loan loss reserve. The statement requires that the Board of Directors maintain an allowance for loan losses that is at least equal to all substandard loans after a deduction for the collateral that is associated with those loans, one-half of all loans classified as doubtful and one-hundred percent of all loans classified as loss. In addition, the Board of Directors must ensure that all loan guidelines are adhered to, that all loan documentation is in place and that all collateral liens are perfected. 35 TABLE X - ANALYSIS OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

ABILITY TO REPLENISH THE RESERVE THROUGH EARNINGS The Corporation has demonstrated the ability, when necessary, to accommodate large loan losses during periods of adverse economic conditions without severely impacting earnings or stockholder value. At year end 1995 the earnings coverage of net charge-offs was 20 times. TABLE XII - FIVE YEAR LOAN SUMMARY

36 BALANCE SHEET Average total assets of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled $566,030,000. This compares to average total assets for the years ended December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 of $554,658,000 and $508,400,000, respectively. The increase in average total assets for 1995 amounted to $11,372,000 or 2.1% when comparing 1995 to year end 1994. The increase during the two periods can be attributed to an increase in average total deposits of $19,445,000 or 4.9%. Deposit increases between the comparable periods centered around the higher interest-bearing deposit categories, namely money market accounts, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. Average balances in other interest-bearing accounts and demand deposits remained relatively flat between the comparable periods. The increase in average total deposits between the years ended December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was slightly less at $14,116,000 or 3.7%. The deposits categories which increased during these periods were individual retirement accounts, interest checking accounts and regular savings accounts. Certificates of deposit and money market accounts recorded slight decreases between the comparable periods. Average demand deposits increased from $35,925,000 to $39,282,000 between December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Average borrowed funds used to fund a portion of the investment in available- for-sale securities and over night deposit fluctuations declined to $92,502,000 for 1995 from an average balance of $104,179,000 in 1994. The decrease in average borrowed funds between 1995 and 1994 is due to an increase in interest rates that began in 1994. The increased rates prompted a sale of a large portion of the available-for-sale securities in late 1994. The sale amounted to about $20,000,000 and the proceeds were used to reduce borrowed fund balances. Interest rates on borrowed funds declined slightly through the last half of 1995 and management expects this trend to continue into 1996. The decrease in rates has resulted in increased interest margins and, as a result, management has increased borrowings to $99,000,000 at January 31, 1996. Average total investments during 1995 declined $2,556,000 when compared to 1994. This, as previously mentioned, was the result of decreased borrowings. Average total investments increased $30,642,000 during 1994 when compared to 1993. The increase was supported by an increase in average borrowed funds during the comparable periods. The periods being compared also enjoyed relatively large interest margins. As reflected in Table II of this section, at December 31, 1993 management reclassified nearly all of its investment portfolio from held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale securities. This decision was prompted by the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The SFAS requires that the investment portfolio be segregated into three distinct categories: held-to- maturity, available-for-sale and trading account securities. Held-to-maturity securities, as the title implies, must be held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are carried at amortized cost and marked to market on financial statement presentation dates. The market value adjustment is carried as an equity reserve, net of applicable income tax. The decision to reclassify the securities was made because the Board of Directors and management decided that since the investment portfolio comprises more than half of the Corporation's asset base it must be managed on a regular basis to take advantage of changing market conditions which could leave the Corporation and corporate earnings vulnerable to these changing market conditions. Management and the Board of Directors are cognizant of the fact that the required adjustment to capital caused by market value changes can be substantial and have in place parameters which are monitored monthly. The portfolio of available-for-sale securities is monitored closely and priced frequently, especially during periods of interest rate instability. Average total loans amounted to $259,142,000, $243,147,000 and $227,690,000, respectively for the comparable periods ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The increase amounted to 6.6% during 1995 and 6.8% during 1994 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1993. The increase in average total loans for all comparable periods was centered around real estate secured loans as all other loan categories, with the exception of municipal loans, were relatively flat. Average municipal loans, however, did increase $2,146,000 between December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1994 as a result of an authority secured loan to a local hospital expansion project. 37 Average equity remained strong for the three years being compared. Average equity to average assets for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was 9.9%, 9.5% and 9.2%, respectively. Average equity to average deposits was 13.5%, 13.3% and 12.2%, respectively for the same comparable periods. The percentages presented do not reflect equity adjustments resulting from equity reserves created by unrealized gains or losses on the Corporation's portfolio of available-for-sale securities. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY Liquidity is the Corporation's ability to raise funds on short notice due to deposit fluctuations, unusually heavy loan demand or the maintenance of required reserves. The primary source of funds for the Corporation is core deposits. Deposits considered core are those whose balances remain relatively stable during a period of several years. Daily deposit fluctuations normally do not vary more than $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 up or down. However, the Corporation has a few customers who can cause total deposits to vary as much as $7,000,000 to $8,000,000 for short periods. When deposits decline for short periods, the Corporation has the availability of several credit sources. The Corporation maintains a Flexline of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and overnight borrowing agreements with several of its correspondent banks, namely Mellon Bank and the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank. The Corporation also uses repurchase agreements secured by securities held in the investment portfolio. Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the Corporation's asset and liability maturity schedule. It considers the maturity date of each asset and liability to be the date at which that asset or liability will carry a different interest rate. A positive interest rate gap indicates that more assets than liabilities are maturing during a given period. Conversely, a negative gap shows that more liabilities than assets are maturing during that same period. The normal measurement period is one year. The interest rate gap can have a dramatic effect on the interest margin of the Corporation during periods of falling or rising interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations also impact the market value of the Corporation's investments which are carried as available-for-sale securities and have to be marked to the current market value at the end of each quarter. Rising interest rates can cause significant depreciation in the portfolio. Conversely, falling interest rates can dramatically increase the value of the portfolio. Interest rate fluctuations can also affect the loan portfolio and the Corporation's deposit base. However, those assets and liabilities are considered as long term and are not for sale. The Corporation uses a simulation model to measure both the risk to the interest margin and the market value of the investment portfolio. As previously mentioned, a one year time frame is used and rate swings of from 100 basis points (1%) to 400 basis points (4%) both rising and falling are applied to the asset and liability base. The model projects the net interest margin through all interest rate scenarios and it calculates an estimated market value adjustment through the same scenarios. The model is run monthly and is reviewed carefully by the Asset and Liability Committee and the Board of Directors. The portfolio is also repriced monthly to provide an actual market value appreciation or depreciation that is also reported to the Board of Directors. During volatile interest rate periods the portfolio is repriced more frequently to provide information which may be needed for immediate Board action. At December 31, 1995 the Corporation enjoyed a market value appreciation within its available-for-sale investment securities of $10,534,000, or a net after tax adjustment of $6,952,000. This compares to a market value depreciation of $13,014,000 or $8,589,000 after tax adjustment at December 31, 1994. The after tax amount at December 31, 1993 was a positive $5,592,000. The after tax amount is carried as a capital reserve and is added to or deducted from shareholders' equity. The reserve adjustment is posted quarterly. If any of the securities are sold, the adjustment is moved from equity and reflected in the net income of the Corporation in the quarter it occurs. The Corporation has for the past several years maintained a negative gap position of varying levels depending on the current interest rate structure. This position, with its inherent risk, has added significantly to the Corporation's bottom line and capital base. Realizing the risk, the Board of Directors and management monitor the risk levels very closely and frequently. 38 TABLE XIII - RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS AND RATE SENSITIVE LIABILITIES

This statement has not been reviewed or confirmed for accuracy or relevance by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 44 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Citizens and Northern Corporation ("Corporation") is a one bank holding company whose principal subsidiary is Citizens and Northern Bank ("Bank"). The Bank is a Pennsylvania banking institution that was formed pursuant to the consolidation of Northern National Bank of Wellsboro and Citizens National Bank of Towanda on October 1, 1971. In May of 1972, the Bank merged with the First National Bank of Ralston and on October 1, 1977, merged with the Sullivan County National Bank. Then on January 1, 1984 the Bank merged with the Farmers National Bank of Athens. On May 1, 1990, The First National Bank of East Smithfield merged with the Bank. The Bank has held its current name since May 6, 1975, at which time the Bank changed its charter from a National bank to a Pennsylvania bank. The Bank's principal office is located in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. On December 31, 1995 the Bank had total assets of $585,987,000, total deposits of $429,522,000 and total loans outstanding of $259,603,000. The Bank provides an extensive range of banking services, including checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, money market accounts, personal, commercial and installment loans and such types of deposits and other loans that are common to a full service bank of its size and structure. The Bank also maintains a trust department that provides full fiduciary services. The Corporation also owns a subsidiary, Bucktail Life Insurance Company, which provides credit life and accident and health insurance on behalf of the Bank. The business generated by Bucktail Life Insurance Company is insignificant in relation to the total business of the Corporation. The main office of the Bank is located at 90-92 Main Street, Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. The Bank has a total of fifteen (15) banking offices, all located in the Pennsylvania counties of Bradford, Lycoming, Sullivan and Tioga. All such properties are owned by the Bank. There are no encumbrances against any of the Bank's properties. As of December 31, 1995, the Bank had a total of 200 full time equivalent employees. The Bank provides a variety of employee benefits and considers its relationship with its employees to be good. All phases of the Bank's business are competitive. The Bank primarily competes in the market area composed of Tioga and Bradford counties, and portions of Lycoming and Sullivan counties. The Bank competes with approximately 15 commercial banks, including local commercial banks headquartered in our market area as well as other commercial banks with branches in the Bank's market area. Some of the banks that have branches in the Bank's market area are larger in overall size than the Bank. The Bank, along with other commercial banks, competes with respect to its lending activities as well as in attracting demand and savings deposits with savings banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, regulated small loan companies and credit unions. The Bank also competes with insurance companies, investment counseling firms, mutual funds and other business firms and individuals in corporate trust and investment management services. The Bank is generally competitive with all financial institutions in its service area with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings deposits, service charges on deposit accounts and interest rates charged on loans. 45 CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION AND CITIZENS & NORTHERN BANK BOARD OF DIRECTORS
