In the second half of 2005, we added one new community office, Jersey Shore, and the First State Bank with offices in Canisteo and South Hornell, New York. By March of 2006, the 21st Citizens & Northern Office will open in Old Lycoming Township. This expansion is in addition to the two new offices we opened in 2004 in Williamsport and South Williamsport. This growth initiative has a cost, which is reflected in the net income for 2005. Even though we increased interest and dividend income by 5.5%, due mostly to a 12.6% increase in loans, the continuing monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve of the Fed Funds rate (eight 1/4% increases during 2005) with the corresponding need for us to remain competitive for deposits has increased our interest expense by over 13.6%. As the short end of the rate curve rose substantially, the long end actually fell slightly. Thus the competitive rates for loans and fixed income securities have not increased commensurately. This resulted in nominal growth in our interest margin, when the expenses related to our growth initiative grew substantially. Thus our net income decreased by 12.6%. At the end of the quarter, we did realize a one-time gain of $1.9 million from the sale of our credit card portfolio. The decision to sell was based on our inability to grow the portfolio to a level that would allow us to absorb the costs of implementing more sophisticated security to avoid losses from fraud. We will still offer our customers credit cards as an agent bank. We offset some of the gain with losses on sale of some low yielding securities to enhance future income opportunities. Also, we increased the provision for loan losses in the 4th quarter, resulting in a provision $626,000 higher than 2004. Growth in the loan portfolio along with estimates of possible losses were the main reasons for the increase. Trust Assets under management ended the year at $418.3 million. The growth can be attributed to both gain on investments and the sales efforts of our very competent Trust staff. We look forward to the challenges that the new year brings. Thank you for your continued support. Craig G. Litchfield Chairman, President & CEO CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS CRAIG G. LITCHFIELD CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Dennis F.

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