PENNS WOODS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Woods Investment Company, Inc., Woods Real Estate Development Company, Inc., and Jersey Shore State Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary The M Group, Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial Group (“The M Group”).  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results for such periods.  All of those adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are the same as those followed on an annual basis.  These policies are presented on pages 38 thru 43 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard applies whenever other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The Standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. FAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No.  87, 88, 106, and 132(R).  FAS No. 158 requires that a company recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit post retirement plans (other than multiemployer plans) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and that it recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income.  FAS No. 158 also requires the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the fiscal year end, in addition to footnote disclosures.  FAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, providing guidance on quantifying financial statement misstatement and implementation when first applying this guidance.  Under SAB No. 108, companies should evaluate a misstatement based on its impact on the current year income statement, as well as the cumulative effect of correcting such misstatements that existed in prior years existing in the current year’s ending balance sheet.  SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this bulletin is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB reached consensus on the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-4 (“EITF 06-4”), Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.  The guidance is applicable to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employer owns and controls the insurance policy, that are associated with a postretirement benefit.  EITF 06-4 requires that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement within the scope of the Issue, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with FAS No. 106 (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan exists) or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (if the arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract) based on the substantive agreement with the employee.  EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB reached consensus on the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 06-5(“EITF 06-5”), Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance.  EITF 06-5 states that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract.  EITF 06-5 also states that a policyholder should determine the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate by certificate in a group policy). EITF 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Note 3. Per Share Data

The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and dilutive per share computation.  There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the consolidated statement of income will be used as the numerator.

		Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2006		2005		2006		2005
Weighted average common shares outstanding		4,002,340		3,986,506		4,002,220		3,986,256
Average treasury stock shares		(75,079	)	(13,644	)	(59,687	)	(12,801	)

Additional common stock equivalents (stock options) used to calculate diluted earnings per share		479		2,094		483		2,314
Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share		3,927,740		3,974,956		3,943,016		3,975,769

 

Options to purchase 8,999 shares and 9,728 shares of common stock at the price of $40.29 were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive due to the strike price being greater than the market price as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Note 4.  Net Periodic Benefit Cost-Defined Benefit Plans

For a detailed disclosure on the Company’s pension and employee benefits plans, please refer to Note 11 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following sets forth the components of the net periodic benefit cost of the domestic non-contributory defined benefit plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Employer Contributions

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements, included in the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, that it expected to contribute $500,000 to its defined benefit plan in 2006. As of September 30, 2006, a contribution in the amount of $550,000 was made for the 2005 plan year with no additional contributions anticipated.

Note 5.  Off Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are primarily comprised of 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 Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’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 Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

Outstanding financial instruments with off balance sheet risk are as follows:

		September 30,			December 31,
(In Thousands)		2006			2005
Commitments to extend credit		$	70,469		$	72,583
Standby letters of credit		1,041			2,193

 

Note 6.  Reclassification of Comparative Amounts

Certain comparative amounts for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentations. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Note 7.  Stock Split

During the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company initiated a 6 for 5 stock split. Previously reported share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the split.

Note 8.  Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Effective April 26, 2006 the Company implemented the Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Plan”). The Plan is intended to encourage employee participation in the ownership and economic progress of the Company. The Plan allows for up

10

---

to 1,000,000 shares to be purchased by employees. The purchase price of the shares is 95% of market value with an employee eligible to purchase up to the lesser of 15% of base compensation or $12,000 in market value annually. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 there were 421 shares issued under the plan.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

Summary Results

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $2,464,000 compared to $2,948,000 for the same period of 2005. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $0.63 as compared to $0.74 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.70% and 13.41% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2.12% and 16.54% for the corresponding period of 2005. Net income from core operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, excluding after-tax net securities gains of $370,000 and $367,000, respectively, were $2,094,000 and $2,581,000.

The nine months ended September 30, 2006 generated net income of $7,353,000 compared to $8,423,000 for the same period of 2005. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $1.87 as compared to $2.12 for the comparable period of 2005. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.71% and 13.20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2.05% and 14.94% for the corresponding period of 2005. Net income from core operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, excluding after-tax securities gains of $914,000, declined to $6,439,000 from $7,199,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. (Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations in its analysis of the Company’s performance. This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income by significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature. Because certain of these items and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes the presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company’s core businesses. For purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, net income from core operations means net income adjusted to exclude after-tax net securities gains. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.)

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $731,000 to $8,547,000 as compared to $7,816,000 for the same period of 2005. The increase in total interest income was primarily the result of growth in average loans of $24,037,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 2005. The average loan growth and a 38 basis point (“bp”) increase in loan portfolio yields accounted for $753,000 of the total interest income growth. Over this time frame the average balance of investment securities decreased $14,654,000. The decrease in the average investment portfolio was offset by an increase of 43

bp in the investment portfolio yield which resulted in total interest income from the investment portfolio declining $28,000 to $2,185,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, while interest income on interest bearing deposits increased $6,000 for the same period. On a taxable equivalent basis the interest income from the investment portfolio remained constant at $2,702,000. The increase in dividends received is the result of an increase in the level of dividends from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh coupled with an emphasis on purchasing stocks consistently having an above average dividend yield.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, interest income was $24,916,000, an increase of $2,011,000 over the same period in 2005. The reasons for the 8.8% growth in interest income for the nine month period are identical to those for the three month period ending September 30, 2006 discussed above. The growth in average loans of $21,754,000 coupled with a 34 bp increase in the loan portfolio yield resulted in an increase of $1,909,000 in loan interest and fee income. Average investment securities decreased slightly to $184,820,000 resulting in interest income on the investment portfolio increasing $118,000 when compared to September 30, 2005 due to an increase of 44 bp in the investment portfolio yield, while interest income on interest bearing deposits decreased $16,000 for the same period. The asset allocation between loans and the investment portfolio resulted in taxable equivalent interest income increasing $2,462,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005.

Interest income composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $1,006,000 to $3,707,000 as compared to $2,701,000 for the same period of 2005. The increased expense associated with deposits is primarily the result of rate increases for time deposits, which are comprised of various certificates of deposit (“CD”) accounts, from the three months ended September 30, 2005 to the corresponding period of 2006. Factors that led to the rate increases include, but are not limited to, several period prime rate increases, competitive market pricing pressure, and attracting new deposit customers while retaining existing accounts. The increase in CD interest rates has exceeded the increase for other deposit accounts. This has led to a shift of a portion of the money market and savings deposit portfolios into higher yielding CDs.

Short-term borrowing costs increased as rates paid increased 153 bp as a direct result of the prime rate increases over the past year and a minimal increase in the average balance of $186,000. Long-term FHLB borrowing expense decreased minimally due to the maturity of $1,600,000 earlier in 2006.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $2,910,000 to $10,317,000 from $7,407,000 for the comparable period of 2005. Interest on deposits accounted for $2,101,000 of the increase due to the reasons noted in the above three month analysis. Borrowing costs increased due to the rate increases over the past year and increased average borrowings that were used to fund the growth in average earning assets.

Interest expense composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

		For The Three Months Ended
		September 30, 2006					September 30, 2005					Change
(In Thousands)		Amount			% Total		Amount			% Total		Amount			%
Deposits		$	2,447		66.0	%	$	1,537		56.9	%	$	910		59.2	%

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin (“NIM”) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was 4.00% as compared to 4.27% for the corresponding period of 2005. The decrease in the NIM was the result of the yield on earning assets increasing 44 bp to 6.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to 2005; however, interest bearing liabilities increased 81 bp over the same period. The increase in the yield on earning assets is attributable to a change in the mix of earning assets as previously discussed in the Interest Income section of this Earnings Summary. The average taxable investment securities portfolio declined by $15,337,000, as the cash flow from the portfolio was utilized to fund the growth in loans. The average loan growth of $24,037,000 was predominately comprised of residential and commercial real estate loans. The yield on total loans increased to 7.13% from 6.75% due to the impact of the Federal Open Market Committee rate increases enacted over the past year offset by competitive pressure. The investment portfolio yield increased to 5.97% from 5.54% primarily from the previously noted shift in the portfolio to a portfolio weighting of tax-exempt investments. The average interest rate paid on deposit accounts increased to 3.04% as compared to 2.04% for the 2005 period. This increase was driven by growth in average time deposits of $35,623,000 and an increase in the rate paid on time deposits of 115 bp. A portion of the increase in deposit volume and the average interest yield paid is due to several CD promotions during the past year to attract new customers while retaining existing customers. The promotions were designed to gather deposits that would have maturities of two years or less. In addition, the promotions served as a catalyst to cross sell other deposit products and to implement management’s strategy regarding the CD portfolio allocation among various maturities and therefore, reducing the concentration of time deposit maturities within any single month.

Short-term borrowings realized an increase of 153 bp in interest rates charged for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The prime rate increased 150 bp to 8.25% at September 30, 2006 from 6.75% at September 30, 2005, as further evidence of the correlation between the Company’s primary source of borrowed funds, the FHLB, and the primary lending rate indicator used on a national basis.

The NIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 4.06% as compared to 4.32% for the corresponding period of 2005. The decrease in the NIM was the result of the before mentioned growth and change in mix of the earnings assets offset by increased rates paid on interest bearing liabilities and growth in total borrowings of $13,265,000.

Following is a schedule of average balances and associated yields for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:
