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:

NOTE 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:

 (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:

   
Contract or
 
   
Notional Amount
 
       
Unused portions of home equity lines of credit

     Since some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

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 of the following:

     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 stock during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, by the Company and by any affiliated purchaser (as defined in SEC Rule 10b-18):

The Directors (other than directors, if any, elected under Article Fourteen of these Articles) shall be classified, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible. Upon their initial election, the members of the first class shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders after their election, the 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.

     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 SEVEN

Except as hereinafter provided for in this Article Seven, the Bylaws of the Corporation may be altered, amended or repealed by the directors, acting by resolution of a majority of the directors then in office or by resolution of the shareholders. 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, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 or 3.06 of the Corporation's Bylaws.

Cumulative voting for the election of directors is prohibited.
 
ARTICLE TEN
CONTRACTS 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 director, officer, or security holder of the Corporation is also a party to, 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 ELEVEN
INDEMNIFICATION
 
The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt such By-laws and other regulations or arrangements (including contracts) providing for indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, as the Directors may deem advisable, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law.
 
ARTICLE TWELVE
REPURCHASE OF STOCK

ARTICLE THIRTEEN
AUTHORITY TO BORROW
 
The Board 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 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.
