Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. BASIS OF INTERIM PRESENTATION The financial information included herein, with the exception of the Consolidated Balance Sheet dated December 31, 1999, is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. Results reported for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 might not be indicative of the results for the year ended December 31, 2000. This document has not been reviewed or confirmed for accuracy or relevance by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other regulatory agency. 2. PER SHARE DATA Net income per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The number of shares used in calculating net income and cash dividends per share reflects the retroactive effect of stock dividends for all periods presented. The following data show the amounts used in computing net income per share and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive stock options. The dilutive effect of stock options is computed as the weighted-average common shares available from the exercise of all dilutive stock options, less the number of shares that could be repurchased with the proceeds of stock option exercises based on the average share price of the Corporation's common stock during the period.

6 3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is calculated as follows: (In Thousands)

4. PENDING MERGER On June 22, 2000, Citizens & Northern Corporation and Peoples LTD., the holding company of Peoples State Bank of Wyalusing, jointly announced that a definitive merger agreement was entered into between the two companies. Approximately 990,640 shares, a 2.5 for 1 ratio, of Citizens & Northern common stock will be issued in exchange for the outstanding shares of Peoples LTD. The transaction will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and is expected to be a tax-free exchange for Peoples LTD shareholders. The transaction is subject to various bank regulatory approvals, registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Corporation's common stock to be used in the exchange and the approval of Peoples LTD shareholders. 7 CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION - FORM 10 - Q Part I - Financial Information (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This report contains certain forward-looking statements. The Corporation intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, business objectives and future expectations of the Corporation, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as, "believe", "expect" "intend", "anticipate" "estimate" "project" and similar expressions. The Corporation's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or occurrences is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Corporation and the subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U. S. government, including policies of the U. S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Corporation's market area, our implementation of new technologies, our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. EARNINGS OVERVIEW Net after-tax income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $4,362,000 or $.84 per share (on a basic and diluted basis). This compares to $5,464,000 or $1.05 per share (on a basic and diluted basis) for the same six-month period in 1999. Earnings, excluding investment security gains, net of tax for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000, and June 30, 1999, per common share (basic and diluted) would have amounted to $.80, and $.92, respectively. Results for the first six months of 2000 were slightly less than budgeted expectations. In addition to lower realized gains on securities, the net interest margin narrowed because of increases in short-term interest rates. During 1999 and the first six months of 2000 the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee raised the overnight Federal funds rate 6 times or 175 basis points (1.75 percent). These increases have negatively impacted earnings. Annual earnings for 2000, assuming no additional rate increases by the Federal Open Market Committee, will probably provide a return on average assets of between 1.15 and 1.20 percent. It should be emphasized that although earnings expectations for the balance of 2000 will be somewhat lower than past periods, they will still be substantial and are being compared to prior periods that were exceptional under a much different interest rate environment. NET INTEREST MARGIN Net interest margin or net interest income is the dollar amount of difference between all interest income earned and interest expense incurred. The net interest spread or interest margin is the difference, stated as a percentage, between the average rate received on all interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin as reflected in the income statement has not been adjusted for federal income taxes. SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999. Net interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 decreased $596,000 or 5.0 percent when compared to the related period in 1999. Respectively, gross interest income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 amounted to $25,806,000 and $23,166,000. Gross interest expense for the same respective periods amounted to $14,541,000 and $11,305,000. The interest rate spread, as presented in Table I for the current six-month period was 2.37 percent; the interest rate spread for the same period last year was 3.04 percent. The cause for the decline in the Net Interest Margin was the abnormal increase in the cost of funds incurred during the first six months of 2000, especially during the second quarter of the year. The Corporation has historically been liability sensitive to changes in interest rates, (i.e. the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities rise faster than the income earned and rates associated with interest-bearing assets). The Corporation maintains some variable rate loans that will reprice more quickly, but most of the Corporation's asset base is fixed-rate and does not reprice quickly. 8 CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION - FORM 10 - Q Part I - Financial Information (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Average assets increased appreciably between the comparable periods. Average assets for the current six-month period were $704,082,000 and $658,184,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. The growth between the periods was due primarily to increases in average deposits of $20,466,000 and average borrowed funds of $36,968,000. The volume of average interest-bearing assets increased from $623,460,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 to $690,627,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of 10.8 percent. Average interest-bearing liabilities amounted to $512,152,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $568,747,000 for the current six-month period, an increase of 11.1 percent. The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was used to fund increases in the investment and loan portfolios. The average balance of the investment portfolio increased from $325,054,000 for the six-month period June 30, 1999 to $372,615,000 for the current six-month period, an increase of 14.6 percent. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased 6.4 percent or $18,920,000 between the comparable six-month periods. The increase in the investment portfolio was primarily U. S. Government Agency issues. The increase in average loans was mainly real estate secured; however tax free loans increased slightly due to the financing of local senior citizens housing projects. The increase in deposits was primarily the more expensive deposit categories -Money Market accounts and Certificates of Deposit. Average balances of Money Market accounts increased $15,941,000 or 12.6 percent and Certificates of Deposit increased $4,193,000 or 3.0 percent. Other deposit categories did not change significantly. The average balance of borrowed funds, which represent borrowings primarily from the Federal Home Loan Bank and customer repurchase agreements, increased $36,968,000. The increased borrowings were used to fund an increase in U. S. Agency investments. The average rate earned on interest-bearing assets for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 7.51 percent; this compares to 7.49 percent for the same period in 1999. The small change in rates between the periods is reflective of the amount of time it takes cash flows from maturing assets to reprice. This is due primarily to the slow-down in prepayment speeds of mortgages in the loan portfolio and mortgage-backed securities in the investment portfolio during periods of rising interest rates. On the liability side of the balance sheet, interest-bearing liabilities mature and are repriced at a much faster rate. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 5.14 percent. This compares to an average rate of 4.45 percent for the same period in 1999. The average rate paid on Money Market Accounts during this six-month period in 2000 was 5.21 percent; during the same period in 1999 the rate paid was 4.17 percent. The average rate paid on borrowed funds also increased substantially between the periods being compared. During the current six-month period the average rate paid was 5.7 percent. This compares to an average rate of 5.19 percent for the same period in 1999. The difference in the period of time it takes assets and liabilities to reprice causes the net interest margin and the corresponding earnings in a rising rate environment to be depressed for a period of time. The amount of time it takes for the net interest margin and net spread to align themselves depends on the maturity schedule of the investment and loan portfolio. Management expects a further decline in the net interest spread and net interest income in the short run until the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee is satisfied that inflation is no longer a threat and foregoes additional interest rate hikes. 9 CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION - FORM 10 - Q Part I - Financial Information (Continued) Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES The Allowance for Possible Loan Losses is an allowance established by management and the Board of Directors, which they believe will absorb existing loan losses, based on management's assessment of the quality and volume of the loan portfolio. The assessment is performed on an ongoing basis and reviewed by the Board of Directors quarterly. The quarterly review process is performed by a loan quality committee consisting of the President, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice-Presidents in charge of loans and branch administration and monitored by the Corporation's Auditor. The committee reviews all of the known risk elements in the portfolio; namely, the "Watch List" (a collection of loans that have had a history of delinquency), past due reports, non-performing loans and historical information related to charge-offs and recoveries by loan category. The allowance for possible loan losses is evaluated based on an assessment of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio. This assessment results in an allowance consisting of two components, allocated and unallocated. The allocated portion of the allowance balance reflects expected losses resulting from the analysis of individual loans and it is developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans and historical experience for each loan category. The specific credit allocations are based on a regular analysis of all loans and commitments on the Corporation's "Watch List". Also, the historical loan loss element is determined based on a ratio of net charge-offs to average loan balances over a five-year period for each significant type of loan. The unallocated portion of the allowance is determined based on management's assessment of general economic conditions as well as specific economic factors in the Corporation's market area. This determination inherently involves a higher degree of uncertainty and considers current risk factors that may not have manifested themselves in the Corporation's historical loss factors used to determine the allocated component of the allowance and it recognizes that knowledge of the portfolio may be incomplete. It should be noted that the unallocated portion of the allowance has increased from $1,020,000 at December 31, 1999 to $2,275,000 at June 30, 2000. The increase is attributable to an improvement in the quality of the commercial portion of the portfolio. The following tables present current and historical information on the loan portfolio and the Allowance for Possible Loan Losses. TABLE III - ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES RECONCILIATION

Other Operating Income Before Realized Gains on Securities decreased 27.8 percent or $888,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was caused by a sharp decline in Fees Related to the Credit Card Operation. Those fees were down sharply due to the sale of the merchant processing program and the loss of two large agent banks due to mergers. Annual fees for cards were also discontinued because of increased competition and replaced with other fees such as over limit fees, cash advance fees, etc. Insurance Commissions, Fees and Premiums provided by Bucktail Life Insurance Company also declined sharply due to a decline in consumer loan production that lends itself to the sale of the insurance products. Loan growth was centered in larger commercial products that are insured by other insurance sources. Bucktail Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Citizens & Northern Corporation, provides credit life and accident and health insurance for customers of Citizens & Northern Bank. Trust Department Income increased 7.0 percent as trust assets continue to post substantial increases. Trust assets under management at June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 amounted to $324,479,000 and $305,442,000, respectively. Trust Department Income is expected to become a substantial provider of noninterest income in the future as the Corporation places more emphasis on becoming a full financial service provider with an expanding range of financial products as demonstrated with the addition of three financial service professionals in 1999. The Corporation, going forward, is committed to increasing the importance of Other Income to the profitability of the Company. In January 2000, a new subsidiary, Citizens & Northern Financial Services Corporation, was added. The new subsidiary is licensed as an insurance agency and will provide a full range of insurance products. The net loss of the subsidiary for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was $31,000, as payroll and some other start-up costs were incurred, with no revenues generated for that period. The Corporation is also very proud of and has made a substantial commitment in terms of dollars and personnel in its internet banking product, which currently provides a wide range of services including bill paying. Management believes that future use of this product, including loan generation, deposit relationships and connections to other businesses in our market area will be substantial and can be provided at a much lower cost than traditional banking as more and more consumers become owners of personal computers. Realized Gains on Securities consists of gross realized gains of $998,000 and gross realized losses of $661,000. The losses were primarily from the sale of a FNMA mortgage-backed pool with a cost basis of $7,578,000. This pool was sold to help fund the repayment of a related borrowing for which the interest spread had shrunk to an unacceptable level. The recorded gains were generated by the sale of several equity investments. Other operating income increased $61,000 over the comparable 1999 period. The increase was profit received from the sale of Other Real Estate. Normally other operating income will average $8,000 to $10,000 monthly. 14 CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION - FORM 10 - Q Part I - Financial Information (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) TABLE VI - COMPARISON OF NONINTEREST EXPENSE Six-Month Periods Ended

Salaries and Wages increased 12.5 percent or $410,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. The increase is the result of annual merit raises of approximately 4.5 percent and the addition of 7 full time equivalent employees between the comparable periods. The additional employees were needed to staff the internet banking product, the Trust and Financial Services Division and the growing MIS department. The number of full time equivalent employees employed at the end of the second quarter of 1999 was 211 and at the end of the current six-month period that number was 218. Pensions and Other Employee Benefits consists primarily of social security taxes, group life and health insurance, contributions to the 401 (k) plan and pension expense. The cost of Pensions and other Employee Benefits increased slightly between the comparable periods as a result of benefit payments associated with the increase in full time equivalent employees. Occupancy Expense, consisting of insurance, maintenance, real estate taxes, depreciation and other utilities increased marginally when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. It is expected that occupancy expenses will rise significantly in the future with the opening of a new office in Muncy, Pennsylvania and expenses associated with the purchase of an additional facility in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania to house the credit card operation. Furniture and Equipment Expense increased $89,000 or 19.0 percent when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. The increase is due to the internet banking system and the associated hardware and software costs and depreciation. To support the internet banking system, "thin clients" (i.e., personal computers without memory) had to be installed in all branch locations. Servers (memory and operating systems) had to be installed in the operations centers to run the thin clients. Also contributing to the increase was the cost of furnishing of the new credit card facility. Credit card expense for the respective periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 amounted to $284,000 and $1,296,000. The significant decrease during the first six months of 2000 was related to the loss of two large agent banks and merchant processing costs. Pennsylvania Shares Tax did not change significantly between the comparable periods. Other Operating Expense increased 7.0 percent between the comparable periods. The increase was caused in part by a write-down of other real estate, the cost of schools and educational seminars and costs related to the startup of Citizens & Northern Financial Services Corporation. 15 CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION - FORM 10 - Q Part I - Financial Information (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) BALANCE SHEET: SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2000/1999 Average total assets of the Corporation were $704,082,000 and $658,184,000, respectively, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. The average asset growth of $45,898,000 which occurred between June 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000 can be attributed to increases in deposits and borrowing. The increase in available funds was used to increase the size of the investment portfolio, specifically U. S. Agency securities of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal Home Loan Bank. A portion of the available funds was used to fund average loan growth of approximately $18,920,000. The increase in loans was mainly real estate secured commercial loans. Municipal loans also increased significantly with the financing of elderly housing projects in the Corporation's market area. The average outstanding balance in Bank Premises and Equipment also increased 9.4 percent. This increase can be attributed to the purchase of a building located in Wellsboro to house the credit card operation, a lot for the new Muncy branch, an additional lot in Athens, Pennsylvania and the purchase of new profitability analysis and risk management software. The Corporation also created a new Pennsylvania subsidiary under Citizens & Northern Bank. The new subsidiary has been licensed to sell a variety of insurance products in our market area. The subsidiary is headed by a newly hired insurance professional and several Bank officers have obtained the required licenses to sell insurance products. The increase in short-term interest rates caused by the Federal Reserve Open-Market Committee has caused a decline in the market value of the investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2000, the fair value of available-for sale investment securities was lower than cost by $15,003,000. As of June 30, 1999, the fair value of available-for-sale securities was $4,471,000 higher than cost. It should be emphasized that the decline is unrealized and does not affect earnings unless the underlying investments are sold. The rate of return is still adequate to support the underlying liabilities. It is hoped that short-term rates have peaked during the current quarter and will begin a gradual decline as inflation does not seem to be a problem. On the liability side of the balance sheet, the growth of average interest-bearing deposits amounted to $19,627,000 between June 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000. Categories that posted the largest increases were Money Market accounts and Certificates of Deposit. The reason for the increase was an aggressive advertising campaign and a very competitive rate structure. The Corporation also began offering a new product to the municipal depositors, including school districts in the market area. The product carries a slightly higher rate and is designed to keep municipal deposits in their respective communities. Merger activity and the sale of several competing branches in the market area served by the Corporation also contributed to deposit growth. Average borrowed funds increased $36,968,000 as a result of leveraging opportunities that were available late in the 1st quarter and the 2nd quarter of 1999 and again in the 1st quarter of 2000. The spread afforded by the leveraged products at inception was about 180 basis points. However, the rising cost of short-term funding has caused the spread to narrow significantly. Management expects that 2000 will bring continued competition for deposits from credit unions, brokerage houses and other nonbank competitors and it will continue to look for innovative deposit products to hold current customers and attract new business. 16 CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION - FORM 10 - Q Part I - Financial Information (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) LIQUIDITY Liquidity is the ability to raise cash quickly and at a reasonable cost. An adequate liquidity position permits the Corporation to pay creditors, compensate for unforeseen deposit fluctuations and fund unexpected loan demand. The major sources of funding for loans and investing activities have been deposit growth, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and repayment of loans and cash flows generated from the investment portfolio. Excess funds from deposit growth are used primarily for loan growth. When deposit growth exceeds loan demand the excess is invested in securities or used to repay Federal Home Loan Bank advances when due. The Corporation's liquidity position can be easily analyzed by reviewing the cash flow statement presented in this report. In addition to the daily sources of cash, such as loan repayments, amortization of mortgage-backed investments, maturing bonds and deposit growth, the Corporation has several additional sources of liquidity: the sale of assets (primarily available-for-sale investment securities), short-term or long-term borrowing. Sources of borrowing include the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and several correspondent bank relationships. CAPITAL ADEQUACY Under regulations published by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other bank regulators, a bank's capital must be divided into two tiers. The first tier or tier one capital consists primarily of common stock, retained earnings, surplus and non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. Tier two includes the allowance for possible loan losses (limited to 1.25 percent of risk-weighted assets), cumulative preferred stock, subordinated debt and 45 percent of unrealized gains on equity investments. The following table presents capital ratios for the six-month periods being presented and minimum and "well capitalized" regulatory standards. Table VII - Capital Ratios (In thousands)
Citizens & Northern Corporation Regulatory Standards June 30, June 30, Well minimum 2000 1999 Capitalized Standard ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 1 Leverage Ratio 11.06% 12.35% 5.00% 4.00% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio 20.00% 21.57% 6.00% 4.00% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio 21.71% 24.33% 10.00% 8.00%
The primary source of capital growth for the Corporation is earnings. Capital growth (excluding unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 amounted to $1,868,000 and $3,210,000, respectively. Dividend payments as a percentage of net income amounted to 57.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 41.5 percent for the same period in 1999. Total capital of the Corporation (excluding unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities) at June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 was $87,375,000 and $81,855,000, respectively. Planned capital expenditures during the next 12 months are not expected to exceed $1,000,000. These expenditures will not have a detrimental effect on capital ratios or results of operations. INFLATION Inflation affects nearly every aspect of banking, primarily interest rates. The effect of inflation, when it is high, also has an impact on the cost of goods, such as supplies, services and labor. Inflation, with the exception of energy products, does not appear to be a problem in the near-term and is not expected to impact the Corporations results of operations for the balance of 2000. 17 CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION - FORM 10 - Q Part I - Financial Information (Continued) Item 3. Interest Rate Risk and Market Risk MARKET RISK The Corporation's two major categories of market risk are interest rate risk and risks related to investments in equity securities. INTEREST RATE RISK The risk that arises from changes in interest rates is an inherent factor in operating a bank. The risk associated with changes in interest rates is twofold: the risk to earnings and the risk to the market values of assets and liabilities. From an earnings risk perspective, an asset sensitive institution (positive gap) will normally benefit from rising rates and a liability sensitive (negative gap) will benefit from falling interest rates. Citizens & Northern Corporation uses a simulation model that calculates earnings under varying interest rate shock scenarios, most commonly up 100, 200 and 300 basis points and the same rate scenarios in a falling rate environment. The Asset and Liability Management Committee and the Board of Directors have established a 20 percent decrease in net interest income as a parameter at a 200 basis point (2 percent) increase in interest rates. The model is run monthly using the current maturity schedule of the Corporation's assets and liabilities and certain prepayment assumptions. Projecting earnings out one year through June 30, 2001, assuming a 200 basis point rate shock, produces a decline in net interest income of 25.56 percent. The risk associated with interest rate increases and decreases as they relate to the market value of the assets and liabilities of the Corporation is also calculated using the same model and the same parallel rate shock of plus and minus 100, 200, and 300 basis point swings in rates. Market values are estimated by applying present value calculations to the cash flow generated by the Corporation's balance sheet. The Asset and Liability Management Committee and Board of Directors have established a market loss limit of 30 percent at a 200 basis point rate shock. At June 30, 2000 the estimated loss of market value amounted to $24,559,000 or 37.15 percent. The Board of Directors is aware of and continually monitors the results of the rate shock but does not feel that it would be appropriate to restructure the portfolio at this time even though the results are outside of established guidelines. The model utilized to create Tables VIII and IX is impacted by estimates, at each level of interest rate change, regarding cash flows from principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and call activity on other investment securities. Actual results could vary significantly from these estimates which could result in significant differences in the calculation of projected changes in net interest margin and market value of portfolio equity. Also, the model does not make estimates related to changes in the composition of the deposit portfolio that could occur due to rate competition and the table does not necessarily reflect changes that management would make to realign the portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates.

EQUITY SECURITIES RISK The Corporation's equity securities portfolio consists of restricted stock, primarily of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") and investments in stock of banks and bank holding companies located mainly in Pennsylvania. FHLB stock can only be sold back to the FHLB or to another member institution at par value. Accordingly, the Corporation's investment in FHLB stock is carried at cost, which equals par value, and is evaluated for impairment. Factors that might cause FHLB stock to become impaired are primarily regulatory in nature and are related to potential problems in the residential lending market; for example, the FHLB may be required to make dividend or other payments to the Financing Corporation, the Resolution Funding Corporation, or other entities, in amounts that could exceed the FHLB's total equity. Investments in bank stocks are subject to the risk factors that affect the banking industry in general, including competition from nonbank entities, credit risk, interest rate risk and other factors, which could result in a decline in market prices. Also, losses could occur in individual stocks held by the Corporation because of specific circumstances related to each bank. Further, since the stocks held are bank and bank holding companies concentrated in Pennsylvania, these investments could decline in market value if there is a downturn in the Commonwealth's economy. Equity securities held as of June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 are presented in Table X. TABLE X - EQUITY SECURITIES
