REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
THE CORPORATION
The Corporation is a one-bank holding company formed under the provisions of Section 3 of the Federal Reserve Act. The Corporation is under the direct supervision of the Federal Reserve Board and must comply with the reporting requirements of the Federal Bank Holding Company Act.
A one-bank or multi-bank holding company is prohibited under Section 3(a)(3) of the Act from acquiring either directly or indirectly 5% or more of the voting shares of any bank or bank holding company without prior Board approval. Additionally, Section 3(a)(3) prevents, without prior Board approval, an existing bank holding company from increasing its ownership in an existing subsidiary bank unless a majority (greater than 50 percent) of the shares are already owned (Section 3(a)(B)). A bank holding company which owns more than 50 percent of a bank's shares may buy and sell those shares freely without Board approval, provided the ownership never drops to 50 percent or less. If the holding company owns 50 percent or less of a bank's shares, prior Board approval is required before each additional acquisition of shares takes place until ownership exceeds 50 percent.
Under current Pennsylvania law, which became effective March 4, 1990, bank holding companies located in any state may acquire banks and bank holding companies located in Pennsylvania provided that the laws of such state grant reciprocal rights to Pennsylvania bank holding companies and that 75% of the domestic deposits are located in a state granting reciprocity.
THE BANK
The Bank is a state chartered nonmember bank, supervised by and under the reporting requirements of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Citizens & Northern Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Citizens & Northern Corporation and subsidiaries ("Corporation") as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Citizens & Northern Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Corporation changed its methods of accounting for securities and income taxes in 1993. Also, as described in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for postretirement health care insurance benefits and life insurance benefits in 1992.
