  QUARTERLY REPORT
Dear Shareholder:
Since the first quarter’s shareholder communication, there has been no improvement in the economic conditions that are tightening the interest rate spread for banks in general and for C&N specifically. The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee has increased the Fed Funds target rate two more times during the second quarter. That’s a total of 17 quarter percentage point increases since June of 2004 to a present target rate of 5.25%. The effect of these increases on banks has been to raise the price they must pay for deposits and borrowed funds. Rates banks receive on new loans and investments have increased, but much less. Thus even though C&N has been successful adding about $45 million (7.57%) to its loan portfolio and increasing the interest income by $2.2 million (7.59%), interest expense has increased by $2.3 million (22.6%). The result is a slight shrinking of the interest margin as compared to 2005. Other income and capital gains are up, but not enough to cover the increase in other expenses, which have increased primarily due to the new branches and staffing associated with our Lycoming County initiative and the overhead of the new administration building. These increased costs are investments we are making in your company to improve revenue and income opportunities as the new branches grow and become profitable and when the rate curve returns to a more historically positive slope.
During the past quarter, we have been shrinking our investments and borrowed funds due to the lack of interest spread opportunities. Borrowed funds are down nearly $75 million (26.4%) and available-for-sale securities have been reduced by nearly $91 million. We have sold a substantial portion of our municipal bond portfolio to allow us to use tax credits and to reduce our possible exposure to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Our Trust and Financial Management Group grew total assets under management by over $75 million (18.7%) since last year, and the revenue is increasing due both to growth and fee restructuring.
In June, the Russell 2000 index was reconstituted based on company market capitalizations. As a result C&N has been dropped from the index. We believe a great deal of our stock’s price volatility during the past year was due to being part of that index.

(*)   Net unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale securities are presented as “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” in the annual and quarterly financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
(**)   For purposes of per share calculations, the market value and number of outstanding shares have been retroactively adjusted for the effects of 1% stock dividends issued in January of each year presented.
 
(***)   Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require that available-for-sale securities be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported separately through shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Management believes there is an inherent mismatch between the income statement and balance sheet related to unrealized gains/losses that may create a material inconsistency in the calculation of earnings-based ratios. Further, the amount of unrealized gains or losses may vary widely from period-to-period, depending on the financial markets as a whole and interest rate movements. Therefore, management has provided these “non-GAAP” ratios because we believe they provide meaningful information for evaluating the Corporation’s financial position and results of operations.
