NOTES
TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
The
interim consolidated financial statements of Community Bancorp. and Subsidiary
are unaudited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the financial condition
and
results of operations of the Company contained herein have been
made. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006 contained in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
NOTE
2. 5% STOCK DIVIDEND
In
June
2007, the Company declared a 5% stock dividend payable August 15, 2007 to
shareholders of record as of July 15, 2007. As a result of this stock
dividend, all per share data and weighted average number of shares for prior
periods have been restated. An accrual of $2,801,082, which is booked
entirely through Shareholders’ Equity, was also required for the stock dividend,
resulting in a shift from Retained Earnings to Accumulated Deficit as indicated
on the Balance Sheet.
NOTE
3. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In
March
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets-an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 140”. SFAS No. 156 requires
mortgage servicing rights associated with loans originated and sold, where
servicing is retained, to be initially capitalized at fair value and
subsequently accounted for using the “fair value method” or the “amortization
method”. The Company is using the amortization method for subsequent reporting.
Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair
value
of the rights as compared to amortized cost. The Company implemented changes
to
its valuation analysis, with the assistance of a specialized valuation
consulting firm, during the first quarter of 2007. The model used to
value the mortgage servicing rights utilizes prepayment assumptions based on
the
Bond Market Association prepayment survey. The discount rate applied
is at the lower end of the observed industry range. Other assumptions
include delinquency rates, servicing cost inflation, and annual unit loan
cost. All assumptions are adjusted periodically to reflect current
circumstances. SFAS No. 156 was effective January 1, 2007.
Implementation of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material effect on the financial
statements of the Company.
In
February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which gives entities the option to measure
eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an
instrument by instrument basis. The election to use the fair value option is
available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial
liability. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. SFAS
No. 159 contains provisions to apply the fair value option to existing eligible
financial instruments at the date of adoption. This statement is effective
as of
the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year after November 15, 2007, with
provisions for early adoption. The Company did not apply the fair
value option to any financial instruments; therefore SFAS No. 159 has not had
any impact on the financial statements .
NOTE
4.
INCOME TAXES
In
July
2006, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48,
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute
for
all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for
those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. Effective January
1,
2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. The implementation of FIN 48 did not have
a
material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The
Company’s income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005
and 2006 are open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Company’s policy is to record interest and
penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for income
taxes. The Company has no penalties and interest recorded for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
NOTE
5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings
per common share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number
of
shares of common stock issued during the period (retroactively adjusted for
stock splits and stock dividends) and reduced for shares held in
Treasury.
NOTE
6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accounting
principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses
to
be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities,
such as the after-tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities, are not reflected in the statement of income,
but
the cumulative effect of such items from period-to-period is reflected as a
separate component of the equity section of the balance
sheet
(accumulated other comprehensive income or loss). Other comprehensive
income or loss, along with net income, comprises the Company's total
comprehensive income.
The
Company's total comprehensive income for the comparison periods is calculated
as
follows:

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On
August
1, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire LyndonBank, a
Vermont-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Lyndonville, Vermont
(“LyndonBank”) for approximately $26.7 million in cash. As of June
30, 2007, LyndonBank had approximately $159.6 million in total assets, $124.8
million in deposits and $109.8 million in net loans. Under the terms
of the agreement, LyndonBank will be merged into the Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Community National Bank, with each of the 1,058,131.6 shares of
LyndonBank’s outstanding common stock converted into the right to receive a cash
payment of $25.25. The Boards of Directors of the Company, Community
National Bank and LyndonBank have each approved the agreement.
It
is
expected that the cash to be paid in the transaction will be financed in part
at
the time of the merger through the issuance by the Company of up to $15 million
in principal amount of trust preferred securities.
The
proposed acquisition of LyndonBank is subject to the approval of the LyndonBank
shareholders, as well as to receipt of all required regulatory approvals and
satisfaction of other customary conditions. The transaction is
expected to close at or near the end of calendar year 2007.
MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
for
the
Period Ended June 30, 2007
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
The
Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations may contain certain forward-looking statements about
the
Company's operations, financial condition and business. When used therein,
the
words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "plans,"
"predicts," or similar expressions, indicate that management of the Company
is
making forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance. They necessarily
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future results of the
Company may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking
statements. Examples of forward looking statements contained in this
discussion include, but are not limited to, management’s expectations as to
future asset growth, income trends, results of operations and other matters
reflected in the Overview section, estimated contingent liability related to
the
Company's participation in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Mortgage
Partnership Finance (MPF) program, assumptions made within the asset/liability
management process, and management's expectations as to the future interest
rate
environment and the Company's related liquidity level. Although these statements
are based on management's current expectations and estimates, many of the
factors that could influence or determine actual results are unpredictable
and
not within the Company's control. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such statements as they speak only as of the date they are
made. The Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.
Factors
that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated
by
these forward-looking statements include, among others, the following
possibilities: (1) competitive pressures increase among financial services
providers in the Company's northern New England market area or in the financial
services industry generally, including competitive pressures from nonbank
financial service providers, from increasing consolidation and integration
of
financial service providers, and from changes in technology and delivery
systems, which erode the competitive advantage of in-market branch facilities;
(2) interest rates change in such a way as to reduce the Company's margins;
(3)
general economic or monetary conditions, either nationally or regionally, are
less favorable than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality
or
a diminished demand for the Company's products and services; and (4) changes
in
laws or government rules, or the way in which courts interpret those laws or
rules, adversely affect the Company's business.
OVERVIEW
Total
assets at June 30, 2007 were $334.3 million compared to $351.8 million at
December 31, 2006 and $336.0 at June 30, 2006. The Company typically
experiences a significant decline in assets on June 30 and is mostly due to
municipal loans that mature and are not replaced until after the start of the
third quarter. The decline in municipal loans was not as significant
this year as only $6.8 million matured before June 30,
2007. Gross loans also decreased from year end by $5.2 million,
but remained level with last year at this time. During the
first six months of 2007, cash flow from loans and maturing securities in the
available for sale portfolio, and the decrease in fed funds sold, were used
to
pay off brokered deposits; these funds also helped to offset deposit runoff
during the first half of the year. The reallocation of these earning
assets has resulted in a smaller balance sheet. A smaller asset base
combined with overall higher yields on earning assets has resulted in an
increase in net interest income to average earning assets.
Net
income for the second quarter of 2007 increased $25,783 or 3% over the second
quarter of 2006. This increase resulted in earnings per share of
$0.20 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to earnings per share of $0.19
for
the same period last year. Net interest income, after the provision
for loan losses, was $3.31 million for the second quarter of 2007, compared
to
$3.30 million for the second quarter of 2006. Long-term interest
rates have increased somewhat from a year ago creating a slight positive slope
in the yield curve. Loans tied to long-term rates have started
repricing to higher rates, offsetting increases in funding costs, and resulting
in a slight increase in net interest income. Non-interest income,
which is derived primarily from charges and fees on deposit and loans products,
was $894,482 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $838,393 for the second
quarter of 2007 while non-interest expense was $3.16 million and $3.12 million
for the same comparison periods, an increase of 1.14%.
The
Company continues its efforts to comply with the Sarbanes Oxley, Section 404
deadline. In June, the Company hired a third party to assist the
staff in the documentation and testing of the Company’s internal controls and
procedures. The cost of this engagement will be approximately $100
thousand; one half of this cost is reflected in the second quarter non-interest
expenses. The remainder of the contract will be paid throughout the
remainder of the year.
Loan
demand was slow for the first six months of 2007, and commercial activity
continues to be weak, however real estate loan applications are now close to
the
same level as 2006. A decrease in deposits is normal for the Company
during the first half of the year, mostly due to municipal
activity. Competitive pricing for municipal business has made it
challenging for the Company to acquire new municipal loans and
deposits.
The
following pages describe our second quarter financial results in much more
detail. Please take the time to read them to more fully understand the six
months ended June 30, 2007 in relation to the 2006 comparison
periods. The discussion below should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes included
in
this report and with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended
December 31, 2006. This report includes forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act").
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared according to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and related
notes. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has defined a
company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to
the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations,
and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that
are
inherently uncertain. Because of the significance of these estimates
and assumptions, there is a high likelihood that materially different amounts
would be reported for the Company under different conditions or using different
assumptions or estimates.
Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment of Securities - Companies are required to perform periodic
reviews of individual securities in their investment portfolios to determine
whether decline in the value of a security is other than temporary. A review
of
other-than-temporary impairment requires companies to make certain judgments
regarding the materiality of the decline, its effect on the financial statements
and the probability, extent and timing of a valuation recovery and the company’s
intent and ability to hold the security. Pursuant to these requirements,
management assesses valuation declines to determine the extent to which such
changes are attributable to fundamental factors specific to the issuer, such
as
financial condition, business prospects or other factors or market-related
factors, such as interest rates. Declines in the fair value of securities below
their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are recorded in earnings
as realized losses.
Allowance
for Loan Losses - Management evaluates on an ongoing basis its judgment as
to which policies are considered to be critical. Management believes that the
calculation of the allowance for loan losses (ALL) is a critical accounting
policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements. In estimating
the ALL, management considers historical experience as well as other factors
including the effect of changes in the local real estate market on collateral
values, current economic indicators and their probable impact on borrowers
and
changes in delinquent, non-performing or impaired loans. Management’s
estimates used in calculating the ALL may increase or decrease based on changes
in these factors, which in turn will affect the amount of the Company’s
provision for loan losses charged against current period
income. Actual results could differ significantly from these
estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.
Other
Real Estate Owned - Occasionally, the Company acquires property in
connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of debt previously
contracted. To determine the value of property acquired in
foreclosure, management often obtains independent appraisals for significant
properties. Because the extent of any recovery on these loans depends
largely on the amount the Company is able to realize upon liquidation of the
underlying collateral, the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying
amount of foreclosed real estate is susceptible to changes in local market
conditions. The amount of the change that is reasonably possible
cannot be estimated. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral
part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance
for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may
require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their
examination.
Mortgage
Servicing Rights - As required by SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing
of Financial Assets-an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 140”, mortgage servicing
rights associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained,
are initially capitalized at fair value and included in other assets in the
consolidated balance sheet. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized into
non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated future
net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. The value of
capitalized servicing rights represents the present value of the future
servicing fees arising from the right to service loans in the portfolio. The
carrying value of the mortgage servicing rights is periodically reviewed for
impairment based on a determination of fair value and impairment, if any, is
recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of
other assets. Critical accounting policies for mortgage servicing
rights relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests. The
methodology used to determine the valuation of mortgage servicing rights
requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated
principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance. Events that
may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates and
the payment performance of the underlying loans. The Company
implemented changes to its valuation analysis, with the assistance of a
specialized valuation consulting firm during the first quarter of
2007. The model used to value the mortgage servicing rights utilizes
prepayment assumptions based on the Bond Market Association prepayment
survey. The discount rate applied is at the lower end of the observed
industry range. Other assumptions include delinquency rates,
servicing cost inflation, and annual unit loan cost. All assumptions
are adjusted periodically to reflect current
circumstances. Implementation of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material
effect on the financial statements of the Company.
Management
utilizes numerous techniques to estimate the carrying value of various assets
held by the Company, including, but not limited to, property, plant and
equipment, and deferred taxes. The assumptions considered in making these
estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that
are believed by management to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Management acknowledges that the use of different
estimates or assumptions could produce different estimates of carrying
values.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The
Company’s net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $857,883, representing
an increase of $25,783, or 3.1% over net income of $832,100 for the second
quarter of 2006. This resulted in earnings per share of $0.20 and $0.19,
respectively, for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006. Core earnings
(net interest income) for the second quarter of 2007 increased slightly by
$8,836, or 0.27% over the second quarter of 2006. Interest income on
loans, the major component of interest income, increased $271,834, or 5.9%,
while interest income on investments decreased 110,810, or 20.4% in total.
Interest expense on deposits, the major component of interest expense, increased
$337,346, or 21.4%, between periods but was partially offset by a decrease
of
$168,770, or 89.6% in interest expense on federal funds purchased and other
borrowed funds.
Net
income for the first six months of 2007 was $1.53 million, representing an
increase of $35,097 or 2.3% over net income of $1.50 million for the first
six
months of 2006. Core earnings for the first six months increased slightly by
$18,136 or 0.3% from $6.60 million at June 30, 2006 to $6.62 million as of
June
30, 2007. Interest income on loans increased $768,940, or 8.7%, while investment
income decreased $246,846 or 22.6% between periods. Interest expense on deposits
increased by $832,837, or by 27.9%, but was partially offset by a decrease
of
$292,967, or 91.5%, in interest expense on federal funds purchased and other
borrowed funds. The Company’s volume of overnight deposits was higher
in both the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared to the same
periods of 2006 contributing to the increase in core earnings.
Return
on average assets (ROA), which is net income divided by average total assets,
measures how effectively a corporation uses its assets to produce
earnings. Return on average equity (ROE), which is net income divided
by average shareholders' equity, measures how effectively a corporation uses
its
equity capital to produce earnings. ROA and ROE were higher in the
second quarter comparison periods compared to the six month periods, but were
comparable year to year. The following table shows these ratios
annualized for the comparison periods.

INTEREST
INCOME LESS INTEREST EXPENSE (NET INTEREST INCOME)
Net
interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense,
represents the largest portion of the Company's earnings, and is affected by
the
volume, mix, and rate sensitivity of earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities, market interest rates and the amount of non-interest bearing funds
which support earning assets. The three tables below provide a visual
comparison of the consolidated figures, and are stated on a tax equivalent
basis
assuming a federal tax rate of 34%. The Company’s corporate
tax rate is 34%, therefore, to equalize tax-free and taxable income in the
comparison, we must divide the tax-free income by 66%, with the result that
every tax-free dollar is equal to $1.52 in taxable income.
Tax-exempt
income is derived from our municipal investments. Although the
balance sheets indicate an increase of $5.7 million from year to year, the
average volume has decreased approximately $6.6 million from year to year,
resulting in a decrease of $113,471 in interest income, and a related reduction
of $38,580 in the tax effect of exempt interest income between
periods. The following table shows the reconciliation between
reported net interest income and tax equivalent, net interest income for the
six-month comparison periods of 2007 and 2006:

AVERAGE
BALANCES AND INTEREST RATES
The
table below presents average earning assets and average interest-bearing
liabilities supporting earning assets. Interest income (excluding
interest on non-accrual loans) and interest expense are both expressed on a
tax
equivalent basis, both in dollars and as a rate/yield for the 2007 and 2006
comparison periods. Loans are stated before deduction of non-accrual
loans, unearned discount and allowance for loan losses.

(1) Net interest spread is the difference
between the yield on earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities.
(2) Interest margin is
net interest income divided by average earning assets.
The
average volume of earning assets for the first six months of 2007 decreased
$11.4 million, or 3.5% compared to the same period of 2006, while average yield
increased 56 basis points. A decrease in volume of $19.0 million in
the investment portfolio contributed to the decrease in average
volume. Interest earned on the loan portfolio comprised approximately
88.8% of total interest income for the first six months of 2007 and 85.8% for
the 2006 comparison period. This increase is mostly attributable to
an increase in interest rates through repricing of loans in the Company’s
adjustable rate portfolio and the $6.6 million increase in average loan
volume. Also contributing to the increase in interest earned is
the increase in the average volume of overnight funds in the sweep accounts
of
$1.5 million, together with an increase of 81 basis points in
rate. During 2007, the rate earned on the Company’s sweep accounts
has generally been more favorable than the overnight Federal Funds Sold,
accounting for the zero balance in that category in 2007. The
implementation of deposit reclassification during the first quarter of 2007
has
also contributed to the increase in overnight investable
funds. Deposit reclassification allows banks to reclassify certain
types of deposit account balances to non-transactional accounts for the purposes
of calculating the daily non-interest bearing cash reserve balances the Company
is required to maintain at the Federal Reserve Bank. These increases
in average volume were more than offset by the decrease of $19.0 million in
average volume in the investment portfolio.
In
comparison, the average volume of interest bearing liabilities for the first
six
months of 2007 decreased approximately $13.4 million, or 4.9% over the 2006
comparison period, while the average rate paid on these accounts increased
56
basis points. Interest paid on time deposits comprised 70.7% and
59.4%, respectively, of total interest expense for the 2007 and 2006 comparison
periods. The percentage increase between periods reflects a
shift from the lower yielding deposit accounts to higher cost time deposits
resulting in part from the Company’s offer of various CD specials at competitive
rates. Year-to-date, the increase in the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities is the same as the increase in the average yield
earned on interest-earning assets, putting pressure on the Company’s net
interest spread, resulting in no change from the 3.82% spread reported for
first
six months of 2006.

NON-INTEREST
INCOME AND NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest
income increased $56,089, or 6.7% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to
the
second quarter of 2006, from $838,393 to $894,482. Non-interest
income increased $89,811 or just under 6.0% for the first six months of 2007
compared to the first six months of 2006. ATM and Debit Card related
fees accounts for a major portion of the increase in both comparison periods
with an increase of $25,065, or 22.2% for the second quarter of 2007 compared
to
2006, and an increase of $45,492, or 20.7% for the first six months of 2007
compared to 2006. Exchange income increased for both comparison
periods with an increase of $23,000, or 56.1% for the second quarter of 2007
compared to 2006, and an increase of $10,500, or 13.5% for the first six months
of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, due to an increase in volume of
Canadian exchange activity. Income from assets held under the
Company’s Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP), which is stock market
driven, increased $11,443, or 34.1% as a result of the stock market activity
during the first six months of 2007.
Non-interest
expense increased $35,447, or 1.1% for the second quarter of 2007 compared
to
2006, offsetting a portion of the increase in non-interest
income. Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2007
increased $72,215, or 1.2% from $6.2 million for the first six months of 2006
to
$6.3 million for the first six months of 2007. Salaries and wages
decreased $45,670, or 3.9%, for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 2006,
and
$79,026, or 3.4% for the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period
in
2006. Higher accruals in 2006 for salaries and wages compared to 2007
were a major factor in the decreases in both the quarter and six month periods,
but were adjusted later in the year due to attrition and the consolidation
of
some positions. Occupancy expense increased $74,517, or 13.4%, for
the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same quarter in 2006, and increased
$108,761, or 9.6% for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six
months of 2006. Increases in depreciation expense and maintenance on
buildings were key components of the increase. A new phone system was
installed throughout all the branch offices, and is now up and
running. This equipment, along with an increase in IT equipment and
software contributed to the increase in depreciation expense for both
periods. The increase in maintenance on buildings, which includes
heating and snow removal, is attributable to the severe weather conditions
experienced in the Northeast Kingdom this winter. Other expenses
decreased $11,808 or 1.2%, for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second
quarter of 2006. Other expenses for the first six months of 2007
increased slightly by $8,641, or 0.4%, due in part to an increase of $30,200
in
legal fees, $45,887 in consulting fees, and $25,518 in losses on the Company’s
investments in Limited Partnerships, compared to the first six months of
2006,. The Company periodically purchases interests in low to
moderate income housing projects which, by nature carry a loss, but also qualify
for tax credits. These increases in other expenses were partially
offset by decreases in various loan underwriting expense items.
Management
monitors all components of other non-interest expenses; however, a quarterly
review is performed to assure that the accruals for these expenses are
accurate. This helps alleviate the need to make significant
adjustments to these accounts that in turn affect the net income of the
Company.
APPLICABLE
INCOME TAXES
Provisions
for income taxes increased in both comparison periods with increases of $3,695,
or 2.0% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006,
and $635, or 0.2% for the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period
in 2006. These moderate increases in provisions are attributable to
an increase in low income housing tax credits from a Limited Partnership the
Company recently invested in.

The
Company's loan portfolio increased slightly by $105,040, or 0.04%, from June
30,
2006 to June 30, 2007, while a decrease of $4.5 million, or 1.7% is noted from
December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Weaker residential mortgage loan
activity, along with a decrease in the Company’s commercial loan portfolio
accounts for the decrease for the first six months of
2007. Available-for-sale investments decreased $9.5 million, or 30.6%
from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007, as maturities were used to fund loan
growth, and to pay off a portion of the short-term borrowings during the last
quarter of 2006. Time deposits decreased $1.5 million, or 1.2%, from
December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007, while an increase of $11.1 million, or
9.2%
is noted from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Various rate
competitive CD specials were offered during 2006 in an effort to attract new
deposits and retain existing relationships, accounting for a portion of the
$5.8
million decrease year to year in savings deposits as depositors shifted some
of
their funds to higher yielding CDs. NOW and money market funds
increased $25 million, or 44.4% from June 30, 2006 to December 31, 2006, but
then decreased $21 million, or 25.8% as of June 30, 2007. Deposit runoff
is
typical at this time of year as municipal deposits decrease as the
municipalities approach the end of their fiscal year.
RISK
MANAGEMENT
Interest
Rate Risk and Asset and Liability Management
- Management actively monitors and manages its
interest rate risk exposure and attempts to structure the balance sheet to
maximize net interest income while controlling its exposure to interest rate
risk. The Company's Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO)
formulates strategies to manage interest rate risk by evaluating the impact
on
earnings and capital of such factors as current interest rate forecasts and
economic indicators, potential changes in such forecasts and indicators,
liquidity, and various business strategies. The ALCO meets monthly to
review financial statements, liquidity levels, yields and spreads to better
understand, measure, monitor and control the Company’s interest rate
risk. In the ALCO process, the committee members apply policy limits
set forth in the Asset Liability, Liquidity and Investment policies approved
by
the Company’s Board of Directors. The ALCO's methods for evaluating
interest rate risk include an analysis of the effects of interest rate changes
on net interest income and an analysis of the Company's interest rate
sensitivity "gap", which provides a static analysis of the maturity and
repricing characteristics of the entire balance sheet.
Interest
rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest
rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense
streams associated with the Company’s interest sensitive assets and liabilities
also change, thereby impacting net interest income (NII), the primary component
of the Company’s earnings. Fluctuations in interest rates can also
have an impact on liquidity. The ALCO uses an outside consultant to
perform quarterly rate shock simulations to the Company's net interest income,
as well as a variety of other analyses. It is the ALCO’s function to
provide the assumptions used in the modeling process. The ALCO
utilizes the results of this simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure
of NII and liquidity to sustained interest rate changes. The
simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest
income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance
sheet. Furthermore, the model simulates the balance sheet’s
sensitivity to a prolonged flat rate environment. All rate scenarios are
simulated assuming a parallel shift of the yield curve; however further
simulations are performed utilizing a flattening yield curve as well. This
sensitivity analysis is compared to the ALCO policy limits which specify a
maximum tolerance level for NII exposure over a 1-year horizon, assuming no
balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) shift upward and a 100 bp
shift downward in interest rates. The analysis also provides a
summary of the Company's liquidity position. Furthermore, the analysis provides
testing of the assumptions used in previous simulation models by comparing
the
projected NII with actual NII. The asset/liability
simulation model provides management with an important tool for making sound
economic decisions regarding the balance sheet.
While
assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market
conditions, the Company cannot provide any assurances as to the predictive
nature of these assumptions including how or when customer preferences or
competitor influences might change.
Credit
Risk - A primary concern of management is to reduce the
exposure to credit loss within the loan portfolio. Management
follows established underwriting guidelines, and any exceptions to the policy
must be approved by a loan officer with higher authority than the loan officer
originating the loan. The adequacy of the loan loss coverage is
reviewed quarterly by the risk management committee of the Board of
Directors. This committee meets to discuss, among other matters,
potential exposures, historical loss experience, and overall economic
conditions. Existing or potential problems are noted and addressed by
senior management in order to assess the risk of probable loss or
delinquency. A variety of loans are reviewed periodically by an
independent firm in order to help ensure accuracy of the Company's internal
risk
ratings and compliance with various internal policies and procedures, as well as
those set by the regulatory authorities. The Company also employs a
Credit Administration Officer whose duties include monitoring and reporting
on
the status of the loan portfolio including delinquent and non-performing
loans. Credit
risk
may also arise from geographic concentration of loans. While the
Company’s loan portfolio is derived primarily from its primary market area in
northeast Vermont, geographic concentration is partially mitigated by the
continued growth of the Company’s loan portfolio in central Vermont, its newest
market area.

Allowance
for loan losses and provisions - The Company maintains an
allowance for loan losses at a level that management believes is appropriate
to
absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio (See “Critical Accounting
Policies”). As of June 30, 2007, the Company maintained a residential loan
portfolio (including home equity lines of credit) of $155.3 million, compared
to
$157.0 million at December 31, 2006, accounting for 58.7% and 58.3%,
respectively, of the total loan portfolio. The commercial real estate
portfolio (including construction, land development and farmland loans) totaled
$68.6 million and $69.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 2007 and December
31,
2006, comprising 25.9% and 25.7%, respectively, of the total loan
portfolio. The Company's commercial loan portfolio includes loans
that carry guarantees from government programs, thereby mitigating the Company's
credit risk on such loans. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $17.9
million in loans under various government loan guarantee programs, with the
guaranteed portion totaling $12.6 million, compared to $18.4 million in loans
carrying a guaranteed total of $13.1 million at December 31,
2006. The volume of residential and commercial loans secured by real
estate, together with the low historical loan loss experience in these
portfolios, and experienced loan officers and well established loan underwriting
and credit administration staffs, helps to support the Company's estimate for
loan loss coverage.

Specific
allocations are made in the allowance for loan losses in situations management
believes may represent a greater risk for loss. In addition, a
portion of the allowance (termed "unallocated") is established to absorb
inherent losses that probably exist as of the valuation date although not
identified through management's objective processes for estimated credit
losses. A quarterly review of various qualitative factors, including
levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and non-accruals and national and local
economic trends and conditions, helps to ensure that areas with potential risk
are noted and coverage increased or decreased to reflect the trends in
delinquencies and non-accruals. Due in part to local economic
conditions, the Company increased this section of qualitative factors during
the
first quarter of 2007, to allocate portions of the allowance to this
area. Residential mortgage loans make up the largest part of the loan
portfolio and have the lowest historical loss ratio, helping to alleviate the
overall risk. While the allowance is described as consisting of
separate allocated portions, the entire allowance is available to support loan
losses, regardless of category.
Market
Risk - In addition to credit risk in the Company’s
loan portfolio and liquidity risk, the Company’s business activities also
generate market risk. Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial
instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The
Company does not have any market risk sensitive instruments acquired for trading
purposes. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest
rate risk inherent in its lending, investing, and deposit taking
activities. Interest rate risk is directly related to the different
maturities and repricing characteristics of interest-bearing assets and
liabilities, as well as to loan prepayment risks, early withdrawal of time
deposits, and the fact that the speed and magnitude of responses to interest
rate changes vary by product. As discussed above under "Interest Rate
Risk and Asset and Liability Management", the Company actively monitors and
manages its interest rate risk through the ALCO process.
FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS WITH 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 and
to
reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters
of
credit and risk-sharing commitments on certain sold loans. Such
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The
contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of
involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial
instruments. During the first six months of 2007, the Company has not
engaged in any activity that has created any additional types of
off-balance-sheet risk.
The
Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial
instruments with credit risk. The Company's financial instruments or
commitments whose contract amount represents credit risk as of June 30, 2007
were as follows:

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Managing
liquidity risk is essential to maintaining both depositor confidence and
stability in earnings. Liquidity management refers to the ability of
the Company to adequately cover fluctuations in assets and
liabilities. Meeting loan demand (assets) and covering the withdrawal
of deposit funds (liabilities) are two key components of the liquidity
management process. The Company’s principal sources of funds are
deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and securities, maturities of
investment securities, sales of loans available for sale, and earnings and
funds
provided from operations. Maintaining a relatively stable funding
base, which is achieved by diversifying funding sources, competitively pricing
deposit products, and extending the contractual maturity of liabilities, reduces
the Company’s exposure to roll over risk on deposits and limits reliance on
volatile short-term borrowed funds. Short-term funding needs arise
from declines in deposits or other funding sources and funding of loan
commitments. The Company’s strategy is to fund assets to the maximum
extent possible with core deposits that provide a sizable source of relatively
stable and low-cost funds. When loan demand out paces deposit growth,
it is necessary for the Company to use alternative funding sources, such as
investment portfolio maturities and short-term borrowings, to meet these funding
needs.
The
Company has taken the approach of offering deposit specials at competitive
rates, in varying terms that fit within the balance sheet mix. The
strategy of offering specials is meant to provide a means to retain deposits
while not having to reprice the entire deposit portfolio. The
Company recognizes that with increasing competition for deposits, it may be
desirable to utilize alternative sources of funding. This year, the
Board of Directors approved an updated Asset Liability Management Funding Policy
that contemplates the expanded use of brokered deposits. This will
allow the Company to augment retail deposits and borrowings with brokered
deposits as needed to help fund loans.
During
the first six months of 2007, the Company's available-for-sale investment
portfolio decreased with maturities totaling $1.0 million, the held-to-maturity
investment portfolio decreased $1.8 million and the loan portfolio decreased
$4.5 million. On the liability side, NOW and money market accounts
decreased $21.0 million, time deposits decreased $1.5 million, while savings
deposits increased $1.0 million.
As
a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB), the Company has access
to pre-approved lines of credit. The Company had a $1.0 million
unsecured Federal Funds line with an available balance of the same at June
30,
2007. Interest is chargeable at a rate determined daily approximately
25 basis points higher than the rate paid on federal funds
sold. Additional borrowing capacity of approximately $82.9 million
through the FHLBB is secured by the Company's qualifying loan
portfolio.
To
cover seasonal decreases in deposits primarily associated with municipal
accounts, the Company typically borrows short-term advances from the FHLB and
pays the advances down as the deposits flow back into the bank during the third
and fourth quarter. At the end of the second quarter, the Company
borrowed $7 million in a short-term advance and is currently positioned to
pay
it back when it matures. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had total
advances of approximately $7.0 million against the $82.9 million consisting

Under
a separate agreement with FHLBB, the Company has the authority to collateralize
public unit deposits, up to its FHLBB borrowing capacity ($82.9 million less
outstanding advances noted above) with letters of credit issued by the
FHLBB. At June 30, 2007, approximately $60.5 million was pledged
under this agreement, as collateral for these deposits. Interest is
charged to the Company quarterly based on the average daily balance for the
quarter at an annual rate of 20 basis points. The average daily
balance for the second quarter of 2007 was approximately $16.8
million.
Other
alternative sources of funding come from unsecured Federal Funds lines with
two
other correspondent banks that total $7.5 million. There were no
balances outstanding on either line at June 30, 2007.
In
the second quarter of 2007, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.17 per
share, payable in the third quarter of 2007, requiring an accrual of $704,661
at
June 30, 2007. The Company also declared a 5% stock dividend to be
paid during the third quarter as well, requiring restatement of all per share
data prior to the second quarter of 2007. An accrual of $2,801,082,
which is booked entirely through Shareholders’ Equity, was also required for the
stock dividend at June 30, 2007, resulting in a shift from Retained Earnings
to
Accumulated Deficit as indicated on the Balance Sheet. Management
expects that, as the year progresses, this deficit will revert to
earnings.
The
following table illustrates the changes in shareholders' equity from December
31, 2006 to June 30, 2007:

At
June 30, 2007, the Company reported that of the 405,000 shares authorized for
the stock buyback plan, 178,890 shares have been purchased, leaving 226,110
shares available for repurchase. The repurchase price paid for these
shares ranged from $9.75 per share in May of 2000 to $16.50 per share paid
in
September of 2005. During the first six months of 2007, the Company
did not repurchase any shares pursuant to the buyback authority. The
last purchase pursuant to such authority was December 23, 2005 in which 4,938
shares were repurchased at a price of $16.00 per share. For additional
information on stock repurchases by the Company and affiliated purchasers (as
defined in SEC Rule 10b-18) refer to Part II, Item 2 of this
Report.
The
primary source of funds for the Company's payment of dividends to its
shareholders is dividends paid to the Company by the Bank. The Bank,
as a national bank, is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the
Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Under such restrictions, the
Bank may not, without the prior approval of the OCC, declare dividends in excess
of the sum of the current year's earnings (as defined) plus the retained
earnings (as defined) from the prior two years.
Quantitative
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the
Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital
(as
defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier
1
capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Under current
guidelines, banks must maintain a risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, of which
at
least 4.0% must be in the form of core capital (as defined).
Regulators
have also established minimum capital ratio guidelines for FDIC-insured banks
under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, as amended. These minimums are risk-based capital ratio of 10.0%
and Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%. As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s
Subsidiary was deemed well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that time that
management believes have changed the Subsidiary's classification.
The
risk
based ratios of the Company and its subsidiary as of June 30, 2007 and December
31, 2006 exceeded regulatory guidelines and are presented in the table
below.

The
Company intends to maintain a capital resource position in excess of the
minimums shown above. Consistent with that policy, management will
continue to anticipate the Company's future capital needs.
From
time to time the Company may make contributions to the capital of Community
National Bank. At present, regulatory authorities have made no demand
on the Company to make additional capital contributions. On August 1,
2007, the Company agreed to acquire LyndonBank, headquartered in Lyndonville,
Vermont, through a merger of LyndonBank into Community National Bank, for a
cash
price of approximately $26.7 million. In connection with that
transaction, the Company expects to issue up to $15 million in principal amount
of trust preferred securities and to contribute all, or substantially all,
of
the proceeds of such issuance to the capital of Community National
Bank.
The
Company's management of the credit, liquidity and market risk inherent in its
business operations is discussed in Part 1, Item 2 of this report under the
caption "RISK MANAGEMENT", which is incorporated herein by
reference. Management does not believe that there have been any
material changes in the nature or categories of the Company's risk exposures
from those disclosed in the Company’s 2006 annual report on form
10-K.
ITEM
4.
Controls and Procedures
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management,
including the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its President
and Chief Operating Officer (Chief Financial Officer). Based upon
that evaluation, such officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report. For this purpose, the term “disclosure controls and
procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that
it
files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it
files
or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
PART
II.
OTHER INFORMATION
The
Company and/or its Subsidiary are subject to various claims and legal actions
that have arisen in the normal course of business. Management does
not expect that the ultimate disposition of these matters, individually or
in
the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
There
has been no material change in the Company's risk factors described in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The
following table provides information as to purchases of the Company’s common

BOARD
OF DIRECTORS
The
following provisions shall govern the classification, election, appointment

Section
A. Subject to Section D below, the Board of Directors shall
consist of not less than 9 nor more than 25 shareholders, the exact number
to be

(other than directors, if any, elected under Article Fourteen of these Articles)

members of the second class shall hold office for a term expiring at the second
annual meeting of shareholders after their election, and the members of the
third class shall hold office for a term expiring at the third annual meeting
of
shareholders after their election. At each annual meeting of shareholders
following such initial classification and election, directors elected to succeed
those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to
expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of shareholders after their
election.
Section
B. Subject to Section D below, any vacancies in the Board of
Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement or removal from office
of a director may be filled by the Board of Directors, acting by a majority
of
the directors then in office (other than directors, if any, elected under
Article Fourteen of these Articles), although less than a quorum. Any director
chosen to fill a vacancy as provided herein shall hold office until the next
election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until
his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified. No decrease
in
the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent
director.
Section
C. Subject to Section D below, any director, or the entire
Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause
and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent
(75%) of the combined voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the
Corporation's capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of the
directors (other than directors, if any, elected under Article Fourteen of
these
Articles.)
Section
D. Nothing contained in Sections A through C of this Article
Six shall be deemed to alter, amend or repeal any of the provisions of Article
Fourteen of these Articles of Association, which confers, under circumstances
described therein, on the holders of the debentures referred to therein, the
right to elect directors in certain circumstances. During any period in which
such rights may be exercised, the provision or provisions conferring such rights
shall prevail over any provision of this Article Six inconsistent
therewith.
ARTICLE

AMENDMENT

Except
as
hereinafter provided for in this Article Seven, the Bylaws of the Corporation

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles of Association or the
Bylaws of the Corporation and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser
percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of
75%
or more of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the
Corporation's capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors (other than directors, if any, elected under Article Fourteen of
these
Articles) shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, in whole or
in
part, (1) Article Six of these Articles of Association, or (2) Sections 3.02,

Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized, issued, or sold.

holders of the common shares of stock in this Corporation shall have the

WITH INTERESTED PARTIES
A
contract or transaction between the Corporation and any other person (as used
herein the term "person" means an individual, firm, trust, partnership, joint
venture, association, corporation, political subdivision or instrumentality,
or
other entity) shall not be affected or invalidated by the fact that (a) any

or
has a direct or indirect interest in, such contract or transaction; or (b)
any
director, officer, or security holder of the Corporation is in any way connected
with such other person or with any of its officers or directors.
Every
person who may become a director of the Corporation is hereby relieved from
any
liability that might otherwise exist from contracting with the Corporation
for
the benefit of himself or of any person in which he has any interest, provided
that such contract is approved by a quorum of the Board of Directors acting
in
good faith and provided that the interested director is not present when such
contract is approved by the Board of Directors.
ARTICLE

Board
of Directors is authorized to adopt such By-laws and other regulations or

ARTICLE

and unreserved and unrestricted capital surplus available therefor, without

Corporation.
ARTICLE

AUTHORITY
TO BORROW

of Directors is expressly authorized, without the consent of the stockholders,
except so far as such consent is herein or by law provided, to issue and sell
or
otherwise dispose of, for any purpose, the Corporation's bonds, debentures,
notes or other securities or obligations, upon such terms and for such
consideration as the Board of Directors shall deem advisable and to authorize
and cause to be executed mortgages, pledges, charges and liens upon all or
part
of the real and personal property rights, interests and franchise of the
Corporation, including contract rights, whether at the time owned or thereafter
acquired.
ARTICLE
FOURTEEN
VOTING
RIGHTS OF DEBENTURE HOLDERS
In
addition to any voting rights and powers otherwise provided in these Articles
of
Association or by law to holders of the Corporation's debentures, at any time
an
arrearage in debenture interest payments (as hereinafter defined) shall have
existed for at least thirty days and be continuing, upon a special meeting
of
holders of the Corporation's debentures called as hereinafter provided, the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation
may
be increased by two and the holders of the outstanding debentures shall have
the
exclusive and special right, voting together as a single class (with each
debenture being entitled to one vote), to elect two directors of the Corporation
to fill such newly created directorships, provided that such right shall
not apply at any such meeting if or to the extent that two members of the Board
of Directors whose terms of office do not expire at the meeting have previously
been elected by the holders of outstanding debentures as aforesaid. Such right
to elect two directors shall continue until such time as there shall not exist
any arrearage in debenture interest payments.
Each
director so elected (a "Debenture Director") shall continue to serve as such
director for the lesser of (i) a period of six months following the date on
which there is no longer an arrearage in debenture interest payments, or (ii)
the full term for which such director has been elected. Any Debenture Director
may be removed by, and shall not be removed except by, the vote of the holders
of the outstanding debentures, voting together as a single class, at any special
meeting called for that purpose. So long as any arrearage in debenture interest
payments shall exist (i) any vacancy in the office of a Debenture Director
may
be filled (except as provided in the following clause (ii))by an instrument
in
writing signed by the remaining Debenture Director and filed with the Secretary
of the Corporation, and (ii) in case two such vacancies exist or in the case
of
the removal of any Debenture Director, the vacancy may be filled by the vote
of
the holders of the outstanding debentures, voting together as a single class,
at
any special meeting called for that purpose. Each director elected as aforesaid
by the remaining Debenture Director shall be deemed, for all purposes hereof,
to
be a Debenture Director. Whenever the term of office of the Debenture Director
shall end and no arrearage in debenture interest payments shall exist, the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation
automatically shall be reduced by two.
For
purposes of this Article, an "arrearage in debenture interest payments" shall
be
deemed to have occurred whenever interest on the Corporation's debentures for
two or more interest periods shall be in arrears and unpaid, in whole or in
part, and, having so occurred, such arrearage shall be deemed to exist
thereafter until, but only until, full interest on all outstanding debentures
shall have been paid, or a sufficient sum set apart for the payment of such
interest, to and including the end of the last preceding interest
period.
At
any
time when such special voting power has vested in the holders of debentures
as
herein above set forth, a proper officer of the Corporation will, upon the
written request of the holders of record of at least 5% of the principal amount
of debentures at the time outstanding, addressed to the secretary of the
Corporation, call a special meeting of the holders of debentures for the purpose
of electing directors, with notice as provided for special meetings of
shareholders. Such meeting will be held at the earliest legally permissible
date
at the principal office of the Corporation. If such meeting has not been called
by a proper officer of the Corporation within ten days after personal service
of
said written request upon the secretary of the Corporation at its principal
office, then the holders of record of at least 5% of the principal amount of
debentures at the time outstanding may designate in writing one of their number
to call such meeting at the expense of the Corporation, and such meeting may
be
called by such person so designated upon the notice required for special
meetings of shareholders and will be held at the Corporation's principal office.
Any holder of debentures so designated will be given access to the record books
of the Corporation for the purpose of causing meetings of debenture holders
to
be called pursuant to these provisions.
At
any
meeting or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof held for the purpose
of
electing directors at which the holders of debentures have the special right,
voting separately as a class, to elect directors as provided in this Article,
the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of 50% of the principal
amount of debentures at the time outstanding will be required to constitute
a
quorum for the election of any director by the holders of debentures exercising
such special right. The election of directors at any such meeting shall be
by
plurality vote.
ARTICLE
FIFTEEN
INCORPORATOR
The
incorporator is a natural person who has attained the age of majority and is

ARTICLE
SIXTEEN
LIMITATION
OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY
A
Director of the Corporation shall have no personal liability to the Corporation
or to its shareholders for money damages for any action taken, or any failure
to
take any action, solely as a director, based on a failure to discharge his
or
her own duties in accordance with Section 8.30 of Title 11A of the Vermont
Statutes Annotated, except for (a) the amount of a financial benefit received
by
the Director to which the Director is not entitled; (b) an intentional reckless
infliction of harm on the Corporation or its shareholders; (c) a violation
of
Section 8.33 of Title 11A of the Vermont Statutes Annotated; or (d) an
intentional or reckless criminal act. This Article Sixteen shall not be deemed
to eliminate or limit the liability of a Director for any act or omission
occurring prior to the date this Article becomes effective. No amendment or
repeal of this Article Sixteen shall apply to or have any effect on the
liability or alleged liability of any Director of the Corporation for or with
respect to any acts or omissions of such Director occurring prior to such
amendment or repeal.
