TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
Juniata Valley Financial Corp. (the Company or Juniata) is a Pennsylvania corporation that was
formed in 1983 as a result of a plan of merger and reorganization of The Juniata Valley Bank (the
Bank). The plan was approved by the various regulatory agencies on June 7, 1983 and Juniata, a
one bank holding company, registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Bank is the
oldest independent commercial bank in Juniata and Mifflin Counties, having originated under a state
bank charter in 1867. The Company has one reportable segment, consisting of the Bank, as described
in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Companys 2006 Annual
Report to Shareholders (2006 Annual Report) and which is incorporated by reference into Item 8 of
this report. The Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Income and Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements includes information on revenue, assets and income and is
incorporated by reference in this Item 1.
Nature
of Operations
Juniata operates primarily in central Pennsylvania with the purpose of delivering financial
services within its local market. The Company provides retail and commercial banking services
through 12 offices in the following locations: five community offices in Juniata County; five
community offices in Mifflin County, as well as a financial services office; one community office
in Perry and Huntingdon counties; and a loan production office in Centre County. The Company offers
a full range of consumer and commercial banking services. Consumer banking services include:
Internet banking; telephone banking; eight automated teller machines; personal checking accounts;
club accounts; checking overdraft privileges; money market deposit accounts; savings accounts;
debit cards; certificates of deposit; individual retirement accounts; secured and unsecured lines
of credit; construction and mortgage loans; and safe deposit boxes. Commercial banking services
include: small and high-volume business checking accounts; Internet account management services;
ACH origination; payroll direct deposit; commercial lines of credit; commercial letters of credit;
commercial term and demand loans. Comprehensive trust, asset management and estate services are
provided, and the Company has contracted with a broker-dealer to offer a full range of financial
services, including annuities, mutual funds, stock and bond brokerage services and long-term care
insurance. Management believes it has a relatively stable deposit base with no major seasonal
depositor or group of depositors. Most of the Companys commercial customers are small and
mid-sized businesses in central Pennsylvania.
Juniatas loan policies are updated periodically and are presented for approval by the Board of
Directors of the Bank. The purpose of the policies is to grant loans on a sound and collectible
basis, to invest available funds in a safe, profitable manner, to serve the legitimate credit needs
of the communities in Juniatas primary market area, and to ensure that all loan applicants receive
fair and equal treatment in the lending process. It is the intent of the underwriting policies to
seek to minimize loan losses by requiring careful investigation of the credit history of each
applicant, verifying the source of repayment and the ability of the applicant to repay, securing
those loans in which collateral is deemed to be required, exercising care in the documentation of
the application, review, approval and origination process and administering a comprehensive loan
collection program.
The major types of investments held by Juniata consist of obligations and securities issued by U.S.
Treasury or other government agencies or corporations, obligations of state and local political
subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities and common stock. Juniatas investment policy directs that
investments be managed in a way that provides necessary funding for the Companys liquidity needs,
provides adequate collateral to pledge for public funds held and, as directed by the Asset
Liability Committee, is managed to control interest rate risk. The investment policy provides
limits on types of investments owned, credit quality of investments and limitations by investment
types and issuer.
The Companys primary source of funds is deposits, consisting of transaction type accounts, such as
demand deposits and savings accounts, and time deposits, such as certificates of deposits. The
majority of deposits have been made by customers residing or located in Juniatas market area. No
material portion of the deposits has been obtained from a single or small group of customers and
the Company believes that the loss of any customers deposits or a small group of customers
deposits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Other sources of funds used by the Company include retail repurchase agreements, borrowings from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, and lines of credit established with various
correspondent banks for overnight funding.
Competition
The Banks service area is characterized by intense competition for banking business among
commercial banks, savings and loan associations and other financial institutions located inside and
outside the Banks market area. The Bank actively competes with dozens of such banks and
institutions for local consumer and commercial deposit accounts, loans and other types of banking
business. Many competitors have substantially greater financial resources and larger branch systems
than those of the Bank.
In commercial transactions, the Company believes that the Banks legal lending limit to a single
borrower (approximately $5,951,000 as of December 31, 2006) enables it to compete effectively for
the business of small and mid-sized businesses. However, this legal lending limit is considerably
lower than that of various competing institutions and thus may act as a constraint on the Banks
effectiveness in competing for financings in excess of the limit.
In consumer transactions, the Bank believes that it is able to compete on a substantially equal
basis with larger financial institutions because it offers competitive interest rates on savings
and time deposits and loans.
In competing with other banks, savings and loan associations and financial institutions, the Bank
seeks to provide personalized services through managements knowledge and awareness of its service
areas, customers and borrowers. In managements opinion, larger institutions often do not provide
sufficient attention to the retail depositors and the relatively small commercial borrowers that
comprise the Banks customer base.
Other competitors, including credit unions, consumer finance companies, insurance companies, and
money market mutual funds, compete with certain lending and deposit gathering services offered by
the Bank. The Bank also competes with insurance companies, investment counseling firms, mutual
funds and other business firms and individuals in corporate and trust investment management
services.
Supervision
and Regulation
The Company operates in a highly regulated industry, and thus may be affected by changes in state
and federal regulations and legislation. As a registered bank holding company under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, the Company is subject to supervision and examination by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and is required to file with the Federal
Reserve Board quarterly reports and information regarding its business operations and those of the
Bank.
Deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC and are subject to deposit
insurance assessments to maintain the Bank Insurance Fund. The insurance assessments are based upon
a matrix that takes into account a banks capital level and supervisory rating. As a bank chartered
under the laws of Pennsylvania, the Bank is subject to the regulations and supervision of the FDIC
and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. These government agencies conduct regular safety and
soundness and compliance reviews that have resulted in satisfactory evaluations to date. Some of
the aspects of the lending and deposit business of the Bank that are regulated by these agencies
include personal lending, mortgage lending and reserve requirements.
Under the Bank Holding Company Act, the Company is required to file periodic reports and other
information regarding its operations with, and is subject to examination by, the Federal Reserve
Board. In addition, under the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965, the Pennsylvania Department of
Banking has the authority to examine the books, records and affairs of the Company and to require
any documentation deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the Pennsylvania Banking Code.
The Bank Holding Company Act requires the Company to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval before:
acquiring more than five percent ownership interest in any class of the voting securities of any
bank; acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of a bank; or merging or consolidating with
another bank holding company. In addition, the Act prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring
the assets, or more than five percent of the
voting securities, of a bank located in another state, unless such acquisition is specifically
authorized by the statutes of the state in which the bank is located.
The Company is generally prohibited under the Act from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares of any company engaged in
nonbanking activities unless the Federal Reserve Board, by order or regulation, has found such
activities to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper
incident thereto. In making such determination, the Federal Reserve Board considers whether the
performance of these activities by a bank holding company can reasonably be expected to produce
benefits to the public that outweigh the possible adverse effects.
A satisfactory safety and soundness rating, particularly with regard to capital adequacy, and a
satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating, are generally prerequisites to obtaining federal
regulatory approval to make acquisitions and open branch offices. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank
was rated satisfactory under the Community Reinvestment Act and was adequately capitalized. An
institutions Community Reinvestment Act rating is considered in determining whether to grant
charters, branches and other deposit facilities, relocations, mergers, consolidations and
acquisitions. Less than satisfactory performance may be the basis for denying an application.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the 1991 Act), a bank
holding company is required to guarantee that any undercapitalized (as such term is defined in
the statute) insured depository institution subsidiary will comply with the terms of any capital
restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate
federal banking agency up to the lesser
of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the institutions total assets at the time the institution became
undercapitalized, or (ii) the amount which is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the
institution into compliance with all capital standards as of the time the institution failed to
comply with such capital restoration plan.
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial
strength to the Bank and the First National Bank of Liverpool (FNBL), of which the Company owns
39.16%, and to commit resources to support the Bank and The First National Bank of Liverpool, in circumstances where it might not be in a financial position to
support itself. Consistent with the source of strength policy for subsidiary banks, the Federal
Reserve Board has stated that, as a matter of prudent banking, a bank holding company generally
should not maintain a rate of cash dividends unless its net income available to common shareholders
has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends and the prospective rate of earnings retention
appears to be consistent with the Companys capital needs, asset quality and overall financial
condition.
As a public company, the Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and
regulations relating to periodic reporting, proxy solicitation and insider trading.
There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which the Company and its non-bank
subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from the Bank. In general, these
restrictions require that any such extensions of credit must be secured by designated amounts of
specified collateral and are limited, as to any one of the Company or such non-bank subsidiaries,
to ten percent of the lending banks capital stock and surplus, and as to the Company and all such
non-bank subsidiaries in the aggregate, to 20 percent of the Banks capital stock and
surplus. Further, the Company and the Bank are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of
services.
Under the Community Reinvestment Act, the Bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation,
consistent with its safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit needs of its entire
community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. However, the Community Reinvestment Act
does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it
limit an institutions discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes
are best suited to its particular community. The Community
Reinvestment Act also requires:
|
|
|
the applicable regulatory agency to assess an institutions record of meeting the
credit needs of its community; |
|
|
|
public disclosure of an institutions CRA rating; and |
|
|
|
|
that the applicable regulatory agency provide a written evaluation of an institutions
CRA performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating system. |
The operations of the Bank are also subject to numerous Federal, state and local laws and
regulations which set forth specific restrictions and procedural requirements with respect to
interest rates on loans, the extension of credit, credit practices, the disclosure of credit terms
and discrimination in credit transactions. The Bank also is subject to certain limitations on the
amount of cash dividends that it can pay. See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, contained in the 2006 Annual Report, which is included in Exhibit 13 to this report and
incorporated by reference in this Item 1.
The Company and the Bank are also subject to the following rules and regulations:
Capital Regulation. The Company and the Bank are subject to risk-based capital standards by
which all bank holding companies and banks are evaluated in terms of capital adequacy. These
standards relate a banking companys capital to the risk profile of its assets. The risk-based
capital standards require that bank holding companies and banks must have Tier 1 capital of at
least 4% and total capital, including Tier 1 capital, equal to at least 8% of its total
risk-adjusted assets. Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders equity and qualifying perpetual
preferred stock together with related surpluses and retained earnings. The remaining portion of
this capital standard, known as Tier 2 capital, may be comprised of limited life preferred stock,
qualifying subordinated debt instruments, and the reserves for possible loan losses.
Additionally, banking organizations must maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3%, measured as the
ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average assets. This 3% leverage
ratio is a minimum for the most
highly rated banking organizations without any supervisory, financial or operational weaknesses or
deficiencies. Other banking organizations are expected to maintain leverage capital ratios 100 to
200 basis points above such minimum, depending on their financial condition.
See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in the 2006 Annual Report and
incorporated by reference in this Item 1, for a table that provides the Companys risk based
capital ratios and leverage ratio .
Federal Banking Agencies have broad powers to take corrective action to resolve problems of insured
depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon whether the institutions in
question are well capitalized, adequately capitalized, under capitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank was a
well-capitalized bank, as defined by the FDIC.
The FDIC has issued a rule that sets the capital level for each of the five capital categories by
which banks are evaluated. A bank is deemed to be well capitalized if the bank has a total
risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater,
has a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and is not subject to any
order or final capital directive
by the FDIC to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. A bank may be
deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital
position if it received an unsatisfactory safety and soundness examination rating.
All of the bank regulatory agencies have issued rules that amend their capital guidelines for
interest rate risk and require such agencies to consider in their evaluation of a banks capital
adequacy the exposure of a banks capital and economic value to changes in interest rates. These
rules do not establish an explicit supervisory threshold. The agencies intend, at a subsequent
date, to incorporate explicit minimum requirements for interest rate risk into their risk based
capital standards and have proposed a supervisory model to be used together with bank internal
models to gather data and hopefully propose at a later date explicit minimum requirements.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was signed into
law. Gramm-Leach-Bliley permits commercial banks to affiliate with investment banks. It also
permits bank holding companies which elect financial holding company status to engage in any type
of financial activity, including securities, insurance, merchant banking/equity investment and
other activities that are financial in nature. The merchant banking provisions allow a bank
holding company to make a controlling investment in any kind of company,
financial or commercial. These new powers allow a bank to engage in virtually every type of
activity currently recognized as financial or incidental or complementary to a financial activity.
A commercial bank that wishes to engage in these activities is required to be well capitalized,
well managed and have a satisfactory or better Community Reinvestment Act rating.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley also allows subsidiaries of banks to engage in a broad range of financial
activities that are not permitted for banks themselves. Although the Company and the Bank have not
commenced these types of activities to date, Gramm-Leach-Bliley enables them to evaluate new
financial activities that would complement the products already offered to enhance non-interest
income.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 implemented a broad range of
corporate governance, accounting and reporting measures for companies, like Juniata, that have
securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act and the various regulations promulgated under the Act, established, among other things: (i) new
requirements for audit committees, including independence, expertise, and responsibilities; (ii)
additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of the reporting company; (iii) new standards for auditors and regulation
of audits, including independence provisions that restrict non-audit services that accountants may
provide to their audit clients; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for the
reporting company and their directors and executive officers, including accelerated reporting of
stock transactions and a prohibition on trading during pension blackout periods; (v) a prohibition
on personal loans made by insured financial institutions on non-preferential terms and in
compliance with other bank regulatory requirements; and (vi) a range of new and increased civil and
criminal penalties for fraud and other violations of the securities laws.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires the Company to include in its Annual Report on Form
10-K a report by management and an attestation report by the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm on the adequacy of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Managements internal control report must, among other things, set forth managements assessment of
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
National Monetary Policy
In addition to being affected by general economic conditions, the earnings and growth of the Bank
and, therefore, the earnings and growth of the Company, are affected by the policies of regulatory
authorities, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. An important function of the Federal
Reserve is to regulate the money supply and credit conditions. Among the instruments used to
implement these objectives are open market operations in U.S. government securities, setting the
discount rate and changes in financial institution reserve requirements. These instruments are used
in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of credit, bank loans,
investments and deposits, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on
deposits.
The monetary policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the
operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the
future. The effects of such policies upon the future businesses, earnings and growth of the
Company cannot be predicted with certainty.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a total of 125 full-time employees and 28 part-time
employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In analyzing whether to make or to continue an investment in the Company, investors should
consider, among other factors, the following:
Changes in interest rates may have an adverse effect on the Companys profitability. The
operations of financial institutions such as the Company are dependent to a large degree on net
interest income, which is the difference between interest income from loans and investments and
interest expense on deposits and borrowings. An institutions net interest income is significantly
affected by market rates of interest that in turn are affected by prevailing economic conditions,
by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and by the policies of various
regulatory agencies. The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) regulates the national money supply in order
to manage recessionary and inflationary pressures. In doing so, the FRB may use techniques such as
engaging in open market transactions of U.S. Government securities, changing the discount rate and
changing reserve requirements against bank deposits. The use of these techniques may also affect
interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The interest rate environment, which includes
both the level of interest rates and the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, has a significant
impact on net interest income. Typically, the shape of the yield curve is upward sloping, with
longer-term rates exceeding short-term rates. However, during 2006, the yield curve was relatively
flat, and at times, downward sloping, with minimal differences between long and short-term rates,
resulting in a negative impact to the Companys net interest income and net interest margin. If the
flat/inverted yield curve is sustained, it is possible that the Companys net interest margin could
decrease further. At December 31, 2006, total interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing
within one year exceeded total interest earning loans and investments maturing or repricing during
the same time period by $4.5 million, representing a cumulative one-year sensitivity ratio of 0.98.
See Table 4 Maturity Distribution in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
in the 2006 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in this Item 1A. Simulation of interest rate
changes suggests that if interest rates decreased, net interest income would likely decrease over
the next twelve months, as explained in the Market / Interest Rate Risk section of Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition in the 2006 Annual Report. Like all financial
institutions, the Companys balance sheet is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. Volatility
in interest rates can also result in disintermediation, which is the flow of deposits away from
financial institutions into direct investments, such as US Government and corporate securities and
other investment vehicles, including mutual funds, which, because of the absence of federal
insurance premiums and reserve requirements, generally pay higher rates of return than bank deposit
products. See Item 7: Managements Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
and Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
Changes in economic conditions and related uncertainties may have an adverse affect on the
Companys profitability. Commercial banking is affected, directly and indirectly, by local,
domestic, and international economic and political conditions, and by governmental monetary and
fiscal policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, volatile interest rates,
tight money supply, real estate values, international conflicts and other factors beyond the
Companys control may adversely affect the potential profitability of the Company. Any future rises
in interest rates, while increasing the income yield on the Companys earnings assets, may
adversely affect loan demand and the cost of funds and, consequently, the profitability of the
Company. Any future increases in interest rates may adversely affect the Companys profitability
because such decreases may reduce the amounts that the Company may earn on its assets. Economic
downturns could result in the delinquency of outstanding loans. Management does not expect any one
particular factor to have a material effect on the Companys results of operations. However,
downtrends in several areas, including real estate, construction and consumer spending, could have
a material adverse impact on the Companys profitability.
The supervision and regulation to which the Company is subject can be a competitive disadvantage.
The operations of the Company and the Bank are heavily regulated and will be affected by present
and future legislation and by the policies established from time to time by various federal and
state regulatory authorities. In particular, the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had
a significant effect on the operating results of banks in the past, and are expected to continue to
do so in the future. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve to
implement its objectives are changes in the discount rate charged on bank borrowings and changes in
the reserve requirements on bank deposits. It is not possible to predict what changes, if any,
will be made to the monetary polices of the Federal Reserve or to existing federal and state
legislation or the effect that such changes may have on the future business and earnings prospects
of the Company.
The Company is subject to changes in federal and state tax laws as well as changes in banking and
credit regulations, accounting principles and governmental economic
and monetary policies.
During the past several years, significant legislative attention has been focused on the regulation
and deregulation of the financial services industry. Non-bank financial institutions, such as
securities brokerage firms, insurance companies and money market funds, have been permitted to
engage in activities that compete directly with traditional bank business.
The Competition the Company faces is increasing and may reduce our customer base and negatively
impact the Companys results of operations. There is significant competition among banks in the
market areas served by the Company. In addition, as a result of deregulation of the financial
industry, the Bank also competes with other providers of financial services such as savings and
loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, securities firms, insurance
companies, the mutual funds industry, full service brokerage firms and discount brokerage firms,
some of which are subject to less extensive regulations than the Company with respect to the
products and services they provide. Some of the Companys competitors have greater resources than
the Corporation and, as a result, may have higher lending limits and may offer other services not
offered by our Company. See Item 1: Business Competition.
Changes in economic conditions and the composition of the Companys loan portfolio could lead to an
increase in the allowance for loan losses, which could decrease earnings. The Company has
established an allowance for loan losses which management believes to be adequate to offset
probable losses on the Companys existing loans. However, there is no precise method of estimating
loan losses. There can be no assurance that any future declines in real estate market conditions,
general economic conditions or changes in regulatory policies will not require the Company to
increase its allowance for loan losses, which could reduce earnings. Furthermore, an increase in
unemployment could cause an increase in loan charge-offs.
Fluctuations in the stock market could negatively affect the value of the Companys common stock.
The Companys common stock is quoted under the symbol JUVF on the OTC Bulletin Board, an
automated quotation service, made available through, and governed by, the NASDAQ system. There can
be no assurance that a regular and active market for the Common Stock will develop in the
foreseeable future. See Item 5: Market for Registrants Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. Investors in the shares of common stock must,
therefore, be prepared to assume the risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time.
Anti-Takeover and Anti-Greenmail Provisions and Management Implications may keep shareholders
from receiving a premium for their shares. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company presently
contain certain provisions which may be deemed to be anti-takeover and anti-greenmail in nature
in that such provisions may deter, discourage or make more difficult the assumption of control of
the Company by another corporation or person through a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or
similar transaction or series of transactions. The overall effects of the anti-takeover and
anti-greenmail provisions may be to discourage, make more costly or more difficult, or prevent a
future takeover offer, thereby preventing shareholders from receiving a premium for their
securities in a takeover offer. These provisions may also increase the possibility that a future
bidder for control of the Company will be required to act through arms-length negotiation with the
Companys Board of Directors. Copies of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company are on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Pennsylvania Secretary of State.
If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, it may not be able to
accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential
shareholders could lose confidence in the Companys financial reporting, which could harm its
business and the trading price of its common stock. The Company has established a process to
document and evaluate its internal controls over financial reporting in order to satisfy the
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related regulations, which
require annual management assessments of the effectiveness of the Companys internal controls over
financial reporting and a report by the Companys independent auditors addressing these
assessments. In this regard, management has dedicated internal resources, engaged outside
consultants and adopted a detailed work plan to (i) assess and document the adequacy of internal
controls over financial reporting, (ii) take steps to improve control processes, where appropriate,
(iii) validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and
(iv) implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial
reporting. The Companys efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
the related regulations regarding the Companys assessment of its internal controls over financial
reporting and the Companys independent auditors audit of that assessment have resulted, and are
likely to continue to result, in increased expenses. The Companys management and audit committee
have given the Companys compliance with Section 404 high priority. The Company cannot be certain
that these measures will ensure that the Company implements and maintains adequate controls over
its financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or
improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Companys
operating results or cause the Company to fail to meet its reporting obligations. If the Company
fails to correct any issues in the design or operating effectiveness of internal controls over
financial reporting or fails to prevent fraud, current and potential shareholders could lose
confidence in the Companys financial reporting, which could harm its business and the trading
price of its common stock.

Performance Graph:
The following graph shows the yearly percentage change in the Companys cumulative total
shareholder return on its common stock from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2006 compared with
the Russell 3000 Index and a peer group index, (the Juniata Valley Peer Group), consisting of
eight Pennsylvania bank holding companies. The bank holding companies in the Juniata Valley Peer
Group are ACNB Corporation, Citizens & Northern Corporation, Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., Columbia
Financial Corp., Community Banks, Inc. Fidelity D&D Bancorp, Inc., PennRock Financial Services
Corp. and Union National Financial Corp. These companies were selected for our Juniata Valley Peer
Group because they are community-based banks of similar market capitalization. The Company has
selected the Russell 3000 Index for inclusion in the graph because it contains a broader array of
publicly traded companies and provides a more comprehensive market comparison than the S&P 500.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of its CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation, as of
December 31, 2006, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Based on this evaluation, the Companys CEO and CFO
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures were effective in reaching a reasonable level of assurance that management
is timely alerted to material events relating to the Company during the period when the Companys
periodic reports are being prepared.
Report on Managements Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Managements internal control system was designed to provide
reasonable assurance to the Companys management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation
and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Certain terms are used in the assessment of internal control over financial reporting:
A control deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control
does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency in internal control is a control deficiency or combination of
control deficiencies, that adversely affects a companys ability to initiate, authorize,
record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a more
than inconsequential misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected in the normal course.
A material weakness in internal control is a significant deficiency or a combination of
significant deficiencies, which results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a
material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis by management or employees in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions.
In order to ensure that the Companys internal control over financial reporting is effective,
management regularly assesses such controls and did so most recently for its audited financial
statements prepared as of December 31, 2006. Management retains the assistance of an outside
provider of internal auditing service in its documentation, testing and evaluation of internal
control over financial reporting. In assessing its internal controls, the Company followed the
requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2.
This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting
described in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on its assessment, the Companys management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting is effective.
The Companys independent registered public accounting firm, Beard Miller Company LLP, has audited
the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2006 and has issued an attestation
report on managements assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Beard Miller Company LLP Regarding the Companys Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Juniata Valley Financial Corp.
Mifflintown, Pennsylvania
We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank, (the Company) maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment
and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to
- 2 -
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company, maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion,
the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Juniata Valley Financial Corp.
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, and our report dated March 6, 2007
expressed an unqualified opinion.
/s/ Beard Miller Company LLP
Beard Miller Company LLP
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
March 6, 2007
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), to determine whether any changes occurred
during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Based on that
evaluation, there was no such change during the quarter ended December 31, 2006.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of
controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The Company conducts
periodic evaluations of its controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error
or fraud may occur and not be detected.
