Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF INTERIM PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial information included herein, with the exception of the consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2010, is unaudited. Such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the interim periods; however, the information does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for a complete set of financial statements. Certain 2010 information has been reclassified for consistency with the 2011 presentation.

Operating results reported for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 might not be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2011. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. PER COMMON SHARE DATA

Net income per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The following data show the amounts used in computing basic and diluted net income per share. As shown in the table that follows, diluted earnings per share is computed using weighted average common shares outstanding, plus 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.

	Net Income		Weighted-
	Available		Average			Earnings

CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION – FORM 10-Q

Stock options and a warrant that were anti-dilutive were excluded from net income per share calculations. Weighted-average common shares available from anti-dilutive instruments totaled 225,245 shares in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, 454,900 shares in the six months ended June 30, 2010, 224,063 shares in the second quarter 2011 and 429,393 shares in the second quarter 2010.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Corporation measures certain assets at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157) establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in determining valuations into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Corporation for identical assets. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and are used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2 – Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets and other observable inputs.

Level 3 – Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. Examples of valuation methodologies that would result in Level 3 classification include option pricing models, discounted cash flows and other similar techniques.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation methods used are as follows:

			June 30, 2011
			Market Values Based on:
	Quoted Prices		Other
	in Active		Observable		Unobservable		Total

Debt securities with a fair value of $14,816,000 at December 31, 2010 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 in the first quarter 2011 in the table above. These securities were purchased in the month of December 2010, and their fair values at December 31, 2010 were determined based on the Corporation’s purchase prices. The fair values of these securities were determined at June 30, 2011 based on price estimates provided by an independent valuation service based on Level 2 inputs.

Management determined there have been few trades of pooled trust-preferred securities since the first half of 2008, except for a limited number of transactions that have taken place as a result of bankruptcies, forced liquidations or similar circumstances. Also, in management’s judgment, there were no available quoted market prices in active markets for assets sufficiently similar to the Corporation’s pooled trust-preferred securities to be reliable as observable inputs. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2008, the Corporation changed its method of valuing pooled trust-preferred securities from a Level 2 methodology that had been used in prior periods, based on price quotes received from pricing services, to a Level 3 methodology, using discounted cash flows.

Management has calculated the fair value of the Corporation’s senior tranche pooled trust-preferred security by applying a discount rate to the estimated cash flows. In the first two quarters of 2011, management’s estimate of cash flows from the senior tranche security changed significantly from the estimates in previous quarters based on the level and timing of assumed prepayments that changed for some of the underlying issuers. Management used the cash flow estimates determined using the process described in Note 5 for evaluating pooled trust-preferred securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). Management used a discount rate considered reflective of a market participant’s expectations regarding the extent of credit and liquidity risk inherent in the security. In establishing the discount rate, management considered: (1) the implied discount rate as of the end of 2007, prior to the market for trust-preferred securities becoming inactive; (2) adjustment to the year-end 2007 discount rate for the change in the spread between indicative market rates over corresponding risk-free rates; and (3) an additional adjustment – an increase of 2% in the discount rate – for liquidity risk. Management considered the additional 2% increase in the discount rate necessary in order to give some consideration to price estimates based on trades made under distressed conditions, as reported by brokers and pricing services. Management’s estimate of cash flows and the discount rate used to calculate the fair value of the pooled trust-preferred security were based on sensitive assumptions, and market participants might use substantially different assumptions, which could result in calculations of a fair value that would be substantially different than the amount calculated by management.

Balance, end of period	$	7,207		$	8,240		$	7,207		$	8,240

Unrealized losses included in earnings are from the Corporation’s other-than-temporary impairment analysis of securities, as described in Note 5, and are included in net impairment losses recognized in earnings in the consolidated statement of operations.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include impaired commercial loans, foreclosed real estate assets held for sale and servicing rights. All of the Corporation’s impaired commercial loans for which a valuation allowance was necessary at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were valued based on the estimated amount of net proceeds from liquidation of real estate and other collateral, or based on the estimated present value of cash flows to be received. The Corporation considers the fair value of such impaired commercial loans to be based on unobservable inputs (Level 3), and the balance of impaired loans for which a valuation allowance was recorded, net of allowance for loan losses, was $2,467,000 at June 30, 2011 and $3,169,000 at December 31, 2010. Similarly, the carrying values of foreclosed real estate assets held for sale were based on unobservable inputs (Level 3), with a balance of $1,665,000 at June 30, 2011 and $537,000 at December 31, 2010.

Certain of the Corporation’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements. Therefore, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not represent the underlying fair value of the Corporation.

The Corporation used the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.

SECURITIES - Fair values for securities, excluding restricted equity securities, are based on quoted market prices or other methods as described above. The carrying value of restricted equity securities approximates fair value based on applicable redemption provisions.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE - Fair values of loans held for sale are determined based on applicable sales price available under the Federal Home Loan Banks’ MPF Xtra program.

LOANS - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, commercial real estate, residential mortgage and other consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments based on historical experience, using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Fair value of nonperforming loans is based on recent appraisals or estimates prepared by the Corporation’s lending officers.

CITIZENS & NORTHERN CORPORATION – FORM 10-Q

SERVICING RIGHTS – The fair value of servicing rights is determined through a discounted cash flow valuation. Significant inputs include expected net servicing income, the discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans.

DEPOSITS - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, money market and interest checking accounts, is (by definition) equal to the amount payable on demand at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The fair value of all other deposit categories is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value estimates of deposits do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market, commonly referred to as the core deposit intangible.

BORROWED FUNDS - The fair value of borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on rates currently available to the Corporation for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

ACCRUED INTEREST - The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair values.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS - The Corporation has commitments to extend credit and has issued standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional guarantees of performance by a customer to a third party. Estimates of the fair value of these off-balance sheet items were not made because of the short-term nature of these arrangements and the credit standing of the counterparties.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying amounts, of the Corporation’s financial instruments are as follows:
