A Message From Our Chairman, President and CEO Charles H. Updegraff, Jr. I am pleased to report that 2013 was another financially strong year for Citizens & Northern Corporation. Net income for the year was $18,594,000 compared with $22,705,000 for 2012, a decline of 18.11%. Return on average assets (ROAA) was 1.50%, return on average equity (ROAE) was 10.25% and earnings per share were $1.51 basic and $1.50 diluted. While these financial results are lower than the past two years, net income for 2013 was the third highest in company history and C&N’s performance remains near the top of its peer group. While earnings remained strong, there were a number of factors that negatively impacted earnings. First and foremost, the Federal Reserve Bank’s desire to keep interest rates low resulted in margin compression as reflected by a 9.35% reduction of net interest income. Secondly, the loan loss provision for 2013 increased $1,759,000 as the bank established an allowance of $1,522,000 on loans to one commercial customer. Finally, the bank incurred additional professional fees expense of $1,048,000 as the result of two consulting engagements. One engagement sought out recommendations for potential increases in revenues, mainly related to service charges on deposit accounts. The other engagement related to debit card operations and electronic funds processing. Reductions in electronic funds processing expenses are expected to be realized over approximately the next five years. With future non-interest income being threatened by current legislation, management felt it prudent to undertake these engagements to protect future revenue streams. Even with the significant increase in consulting fees the bank still maintained an excellent efficiency ratio of 53.27%. Our balance sheet remained relatively flat with a modest reduction in assets of 3.82%. Net loans outstanding decreased by 6.12%. The reduction in outstanding loans includes a reduction in residential mortgage loans on the balance sheet, as the bank continued to generate a significant number of residential real estate mortgages that were sold in the secondary market instead of being placed in portfolio. Continued Page 3 1864 With the issuance of the 328th National Bank Charter by the United States on March 21, 1864, the First National Bank of Wellsborough was officially formed.
