JUNIATA VALLEY FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Juniata Valley Financial Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the consolidated statement of financial condition date of June 30, 2015 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

2. Recent Accounting Standards Updates (ASU)

Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)

Issued: May 2014

Summary: The amendments in this Update establish a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Effective Date and Transition: Public entities will apply the new standard for annual reports beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Three basic transition methods are available – full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Under the third alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application (e.g. January 1, 2017) and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. That is, prior years would not be restated and additional disclosures would be required to enable users of the financial statements to understand the impact of adopting the new standard in the current year compared to prior years that are presented under legacy U.S. GAAP. Early adoption is prohibited under U.S. GAAP. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved a one-year delay of the effective date of the revenue recognition standard. The deferral would require public entities to apply the new revenue standard for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. Public entities would be permitted to elect to early adopt for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is evaluating the effects this Update will have on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Standards Update 2014-17, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)

Issued: November 2014

Summary: The ASU amends Topic 805 so that a reporting entity that is a business or nonprofit activity (an “acquiree”) has the option to apply pushdown accounting to its separate financial statements when an acquirer obtains control of the acquiree. The option is available for each individual change-in-control event. Control has the same meaning as a “controlling financial interest” under Topic 810, such that pushdown accounting may be applied if an acquirer obtains control through a simple majority of the outstanding voting shares of the acquiree (e.g., 51%). Similarly, a Variable Interest Entity is considered an “acquiree” of its primary beneficiary and may also elect pushdown accounting.

If the acquiree elects to apply pushdown accounting, it must do so as of the acquisition date of the change-in-control event. Further, any subsidiary of the acquiree may elect to apply pushdown accounting to its separate financial statements, regardless of whether the acquiree elects to apply pushdown accounting. Upon election, the acquiree would adjust its standalone financial statements to reflect the acquirer’s new basis in the acquired entity’s assets and liabilities, and would provide relevant disclosures under Topic 805 to enable users to evaluate the effect of pushdown accounting.

Effective Date and Transition: The ASU became effective upon issuance on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event.

3. Accumulated other Comprehensive loss

Components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax consisted of the following (in thousands):

	6/30/2015			12/31/2014
Unrealized gains on available for sale securities		297		$	296
Unrecognized expense for defined benefit pension		(2,414	)		(2,493	)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss		(2,117	)	$	(2,197	)

4. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

5. Securities

The Company’s investment portfolio includes primarily bonds issued by U.S. Government sponsored agencies (approximately 27%), mortgage-backed securities issued by Government-sponsored agencies and backed by residential mortgages (approximately 48%) and municipal bonds (approximately 24%) as of June 30, 2015. Most of the municipal bonds are general obligation bonds with maturities or pre-refunding dates within 5 years. The remaining 1% of the portfolio includes a group of equity investments in other financial institutions.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the securities may be called or prepaid with or without prepayment penalties.

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, clarifies the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities, management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery. These steps are taken before an assessment is made as to whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment. For equity securities, consideration is given to management’s intention and ability to hold the securities until recovery of unrealized losses in assessing potential other-than-temporary impairment. More specifically, factors considered to determine other-than-temporary impairment status for individual equity holdings include the length of time the stock has remained in an unrealized loss position, the percentage of unrealized loss compared to the carrying cost of the stock, dividend reduction or suspension, market analyst reviews and expectations, and other pertinent factors that would affect expectations for recovery or further decline.

In instances when a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists and the entity does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security prior to its anticipated recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income.

The following table shows gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

At June 30, 2015, 15 U.S. Government agency and corporations securities had unrealized losses that, in the aggregate, totaled 0.9% of amortized cost. Eight of these securities have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more.

At June 30, 2015, 26 obligations of state and political subdivisions had unrealized losses that, in the aggregate, totaled 0.4% of amortized cost. One of these securities have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more.

At June 30, 2015, 9 mortgage-backed securities had an unrealized loss that totaled 1.6% of amortized cost. None of these securities has been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more.

The mortgage-backed securities in the Company’s portfolio are government sponsored enterprise (GSE) pass-through instruments issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), which guarantees the timely payment of principal on these investments.

The unrealized losses noted above are considered to be temporary impairments. The decline in the values of the debt securities is due only to interest rate fluctuations, rather than erosion of issuer credit quality. As a result, the payment of contractual cash flows, including principal repayment, is not at risk. As the Company does not intend to sell the securities, does not believe the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis, none of the debt securities are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Equity securities owned by the Company consist of common stock of various financial services providers and are evaluated quarterly for evidence of other-than-temporary impairment. There were three equity securities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more as of June 30, 2015. Individually and collectively, these three equity securities have insignificant unrealized losses. All of these securities have increased in fair value in the preceding twelve months, and therefore are deemed to be temporarily impaired. Management has identified no other-than-temporary impairment as of, or for the periods ended June 30, 2015, June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 in the equity portfolio. Management continues to track the performance of each stock owned to determine if it is prudent to recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges. The Company has the ability and intent to hold its equity securities until recovery of unrealized losses.

6. Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses

Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of any deferred fees or costs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income on all loans, other than nonaccrual loans, is accrued over the term of the loans based on the amount of principal outstanding. Unearned income is amortized to income over the life of the loans, using the interest method.

The loan portfolio is segmented into commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans are comprised of the following classes of loans: (1) commercial, financial and agricultural, (2) commercial real estate, (3) real estate construction, a portion of (4) mortgage loans and (5) obligations of states and political subdivisions. Consumer loans are comprised of a portion of (4) mortgage loans and (6) personal loans.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of principal or interest. However, it is the Company’s policy to continue to accrue interest on loans over 90 days past due as long as (1) they are guaranteed or well secured and (2) there is an effective means of timely collection in process. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed against current period income, and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, accruals are resumed on loans only when the obligation is brought fully current with respect to interest and principal, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

The Company originates loans in the portfolio with the intent to hold them until maturity. At the time the Company no longer intends to hold loans to maturity based on asset/liability management practices, the Company transfers loans from its portfolio to held for sale at fair value. Any write-down recorded upon transfer is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Any write-downs recorded after the initial transfers are recorded as a charge to other non-interest expense. Gains or losses recognized upon sale are included in gains on sales of loans which is a component of non-interest income.

The Company also originates residential mortgage loans with the intent to sell. These individual loans are normally funded by the buyer immediately. The Company maintains servicing rights on these loans. Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as an asset upon the sale of a mortgage loan. A portion of the cost of the loan is allocated to the servicing right based upon relative fair value. Servicing rights are intangible assets and are carried at estimated fair value. Adjustments to fair value are recorded as non-interest income and included in gain on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of income.

The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the consolidated statement of financial condition date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in its unfunded lending commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition, when necessary. The amount of the reserve for unfunded lending commitments is not material to the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

For financial reporting purposes, the provision for loan losses charged to current operating income is based on management's estimates, and actual losses may vary from estimates. These estimates are reviewed and adjusted at least quarterly and are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.

Loans included in any class are considered for charge-off when:

principal or interest has been in default for 120 days or more and for which no payment has been received during the previous four months;

all collateral securing the loan has been liquidated and a deficiency balance remains;

a bankruptcy notice is received for an unsecured loan;

a confirming loss event has occurred; or

the loan is deemed to be uncollectible for any other reason.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to offset probable losses on the Company’s existing loans. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses relies heavily on changes in observable trends that may indicate potential credit weaknesses. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the level of the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2015 was adequate.

There are two components of the allowance: a specific component for loans that are deemed to be impaired; and a general component for contingencies.

A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. For commercial loans secured with real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the current appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values may be discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include the estimated costs to sell the property. For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, aging accounts receivable, equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The Company generally does not separately identify individual consumer segment loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement.

Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Company grants borrowers concessions and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring generally involve a below-market interest rate based on the loan’s risk characteristics or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for a sustained period of time after modification. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated as impaired.

The component of the allowance for contingencies relates to other loans that have been segmented into risk rated categories. The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated quarterly or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified as substandard have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans include loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated pass. Specific reserves may be established for larger, individual classified loans as a result of this evaluation, as discussed above. Remaining loans are categorized into large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans and are collectively evaluated for impairment. This computation is generally based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The historical loss experience is averaged over a ten-year period for each of the portfolio segments. The ten-year timeframe was selected in order to capture activity over a wide range of economic conditions and has been consistently used by the Company for the past seven years. Qualitative risk factors are reviewed for relevancy each quarter and include:

National, regional and local economic and business conditions, as well as the condition of various market segments, including the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans;

Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans;

Experience, ability and depth of lending and credit management and staff;

Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans, as well as other loan modifications;

Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

Effect of external factors, including competition.

Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation.

Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Lending

The Company originates commercial, financial and agricultural loans primarily to businesses located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. These loans are used for various business purposes, which include short-term loans and lines of credit to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory and accounts receivable. Generally, the maximum term for loans extended on machinery and equipment is shorter and does not exceed the projected useful life of such machinery and equipment. Most business lines of credit are written with a five year maturity, subject to an annual credit review.

Commercial loans are generally secured with short-term assets; however, in many cases, additional collateral, such as real estate, is provided as additional security for the loan. Loan-to-value maximum values have been established by the Company and are specific to the type of collateral. Collateral values may be determined using invoices, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging reports, collateral appraisals, etc.

In underwriting commercial loans, an analysis of the borrower’s character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral, as well as an evaluation of conditions affecting the borrower, is performed. Analysis of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of the Company’s analysis.

Concentration analysis assists in identifying industry specific risk inherent in commercial, financial and agricultural lending. Mitigants include the identification of secondary and tertiary sources of repayment and appropriate increases in oversight.

Commercial, financial and agricultural loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly during slow economic conditions.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

The Company engages in commercial real estate lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s commercial real estate portfolio is secured primarily by residential housing, commercial buildings, raw land and hotels. Generally, commercial real estate loans have terms that do not exceed 20 years, have loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of the appraised value of the property and are typically secured by personal guarantees of the borrowers.

As economic conditions deteriorate, the Company reduces its exposure in real estate loans with higher risk characteristics. In underwriting these loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly during slow economic conditions.

Real Estate Construction Lending

The Company engages in real estate construction lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s real estate construction lending consists of commercial and residential site development loans, as well as commercial building construction and residential housing construction loans.

The Company’s commercial real estate construction loans are generally secured with the subject property, and advances are made in conformity with a pre-determined draw schedule supported by independent inspections. Terms of construction loans depend on the specifics of the project, such as estimated absorption rates, estimated time to complete, etc.

In underwriting commercial real estate construction loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the project using feasibility studies, market data, etc. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.

Real estate construction loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly during slow economic conditions. The difficulty of estimating total construction costs adds to the risk as well.

Mortgage Lending

The Company’s real estate mortgage portfolio is comprised of consumer residential mortgages and business loans secured by one-to-four family properties. One-to-four family residential mortgage loan originations, including home equity installment and home equity lines of credit loans, are generated by the Company’s marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in customers and referrals. These loans originate primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from the market area.

The Company offers fixed-rate and adjustable rate mortgage loans with terms up to a maximum of 25-years for both permanent structures and those under construction. The Company’s one-to-four family residential mortgage originations are secured primarily by properties located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The majority of the Company’s residential mortgage loans originate with a loan-to-value of 80% or less. Home equity installment loans are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 80% and a maximum term of 15 years. Home equity lines of credit are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 90% and a maximum term of 20 years.

In underwriting one-to-four family residential real estate loans, the Company evaluates the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments, the borrower’s repayment history and the value of the property securing the loan. The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions, and credit background. The analysis is based primarily on the customer’s ability to repay and secondarily on the collateral or security. Most properties securing real estate loans made by the Company are appraised by independent fee appraisers. The Company generally requires mortgage loan borrowers to obtain an attorney’s title opinion or title insurance, and fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan. The Company does not engage in sub-prime residential mortgage originations.

Residential mortgage loans and home equity loans generally present a lower level of risk than certain other types of consumer loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence. Risk is increased when the Company is in a subordinate position for the loan collateral.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions

The Company lends to local municipalities and other tax-exempt organizations. These loans are primarily tax-anticipation notes and, as such, carry little risk. Historically, the Company has never had a loss on any loan of this type.

Personal Lending

The Company offers a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including vehicle loans, mobile home loans and loans secured by savings deposits as well as other types of personal loans.

Personal loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral and creditworthiness of the borrower. In underwriting personal loans, a thorough analysis of the borrower’s willingness and financial ability to repay the loan as agreed is performed. The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions and credit background.

Personal loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of personal loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles or recreational equipment. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted personal loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, personal loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

Loan Portfolio Classification

The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass rating and the classified ratings of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Company’s internal risk rating system as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

The Company has certain loans in its portfolio that are considered to be impaired. It is the policy of the Company to recognize income on impaired loans that have been transferred to nonaccrual status on a cash basis, only to the extent that it exceeds principal balance recovery. Until an impaired loan is placed on nonaccrual status, income is recognized on the accrual basis. Collateral analysis is performed on each impaired loan at least quarterly, and results are used to determine if a specific reserve is necessary to adjust the carrying value of each individual loan down to the estimated fair value. Generally, specific reserves are carried against impaired loans based upon estimated collateral value until a confirming loss event occurs or until termination of the credit is scheduled through liquidation of the collateral or foreclosure. Charge off will occur when a confirmed loss is identified. Professional appraisals of collateral, discounted for expected selling costs, appraisal age, economic conditions and other known factors are used to determine the charge-off amount. The following tables summarize information regarding impaired loans by portfolio class as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

The Company’s troubled debt restructurings are also impaired loans, which may result in a specific allocation and subsequent charge-off if appropriate. As of June 30, 2015 there were no specific reserves carried for troubled debt restructurings, but one troubled debt restructured loan was foreclosed upon during the second quarter of 2015, resulting in a charge-off of $90,000 and an addition to OREO of $265,000. There were no defaults of troubled debt restructurings that took place during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 within 12 months of restructure. On December 31, 2014, there were no specific reserves carried for troubled debt restructured loans and no charge-offs relating to the troubled debt restructurings. The amended terms of the restructured loans vary, whereby interest rates have been reduced, principal payments have been reduced or deferred for a period of time and/or maturity dates have been extended.

There were no loans whose terms have been modified resulting in troubled debt restructurings during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2015.

7. Goodwill and core deposit intangible

On September 8, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of a branch office in Richfield, PA. Goodwill at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $2,046,000. Core deposit intangible was $52,000 net of amortization of $397,000 at June 30, 2015 and $74,000 net of amortization of $375,000 at December 31, 2014. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over a ten-year period on a straight line basis. Core deposit amortization expense was $11,000 and $22,000 in each of the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The goodwill is not amortized, but is measured annually for impairment or more frequently if certain events occur which might indicate goodwill has been impaired. There was no impairment of goodwill during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

8. Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary

The Company owns 39.16% of the outstanding common stock of Liverpool Community Bank (LCB), Liverpool, PA. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is being carried at $4,457,000 as of June 30, 2015. The Company increases its investment in LCB for its share of earnings and decreases its investment by any dividends received from LCB. The investment is evaluated quarterly for impairment. A loss in value of the investment which is determined to be other than a temporary decline would be recognized as a loss in the period in which such determination is made. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of LCB to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the current carrying value of the investment. There was no impairment of goodwill during the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

9. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Additional guidance is provided on determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. The guidance also includes guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.

Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed, and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with fair value measurement and disclosure guidance.

This guidance clarifies that, when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly. In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly. The guidance provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.

Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

An asset’s or liability’s placement in the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Securities Available for Sale. Debt securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurement from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Equity securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs.

Impaired Loans. Certain impaired loans are reported on a non-recurring basis at the fair value of the underlying collateral since repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Other Real Estate Owned. Certain assets included in other real estate owned are carried at fair value as a result of impairment and accordingly are presented as measured on a non-recurring basis. Values are estimated using Level 3 inputs, based on appraisals that consider the sales prices of property in the proximate vicinity.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The fair value of servicing assets is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows on pools of mortgages stratified by rate and maturity date and are considered Level 3 inputs.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands). There were no transfers of assets between fair value Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which Level 3 inputs have been used to determine fair value:

June 30, 2015	Fair Value Estimate		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average
Impaired loans	$	2,676	Appraisal of collateral (1)	Appraisal and liquidation adjustments (2)		(7)% - (20)%		(15.8	)%
Mortgage servicing rights		204	Multiple of annual servicing fee	Estimated pre-payment speed, based on rate and term		300% - 400%		363	%

December 31, 2014	Fair Value Estimate		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average
Impaired loans	$	3,370	Appraisal of collateral (1)	Appraisal and liquidation adjustments (2)		(7)% - (15)%		(11.2	)%
Mortgage servicing rights		193	Multiple of annual servicing fee	Estimated pre-payment speed, based on rate and term		300% - 400%		360	%

(1)

Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral that generally include various level 3 inputs which are not identifiable.

(2)

Appraisals may be adjusted downward by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each quarter end.

The information presented below should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is provided only for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

The following describes the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as well as the significant methods and assumptions not previously disclosed used to determine these estimated fair values.

Carrying values approximate fair value for cash and due from banks, interest-bearing demand deposits with banks, restricted stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, loans held for sale, interest receivable, mortgage servicing rights, non-interest bearing deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, short-term borrowings and interest payable. Other than cash and due from banks, which are considered Level 1 inputs, and mortgage servicing rights, which are Level 3 inputs, these instruments are Level 2 inputs.

Interest bearing time deposits with banks - The estimated fair value is determined by discounting the contractual future cash flows, using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Loans – For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and which entail no significant changes in credit risk, carrying values approximated fair value. Substantially all commercial loans and real estate mortgages are variable rate loans. The fair value of other loans (i.e. consumer loans and fixed-rate real estate mortgages) is estimated by calculating the present value of the cash flow difference between the current rate and the market rate, for the average maturity, discounted quarterly at the market rate.

Fixed rate time deposits - The estimated fair value is determined by discounting the contractual future cash flows, using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Long term debt and other interest bearing liabilities – The fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of arrangements.

Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit – The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit-worthiness of the counterparties. The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

10. Defined Benefit Retirement Plan

The Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement Plan (the “Plan”) which covers substantially all of its employees employed prior to December 31, 2007. As of January 1, 2008, the Plan was amended to close the Plan to new entrants. All active participants as of December 31, 2007 became 100% vested in their accrued benefit and, as long as they remained eligible, continued to accrue benefits until December 31, 2012. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation. Effective December 31, 2012, the Plan was amended (frozen) to cease future service accruals after that date. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually no more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributed to service through December 31, 2012. The Company has made no contributions in the first six months of 2015 and does not expect to contribute to the Plan in the remainder of 2015. Pension expense included the following components for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

(Dollars in thousands)

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Total recognized in net periodic pension cost and other comprehensive income	$	(35	)	$	(23	)	$	(71	)	$	(46	)

11. Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Guarantees

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes commitments to extend credit to its customers through letters of credit, loan commitments and lines of credit. At June 30, 2015, the Company had $40,046,000 outstanding in loan commitments and other unused lines of credit extended to its customers as compared to $45,021,000 at December 31, 2014.

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its letters of credit. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, financial and performance letters of credit have expiration dates within one year of issuance, while commercial letters of credit have longer term commitments. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as the risks that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company had outstanding $1,669,000 and $1,703,000 of financial and performance letters of credit commitments as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Commercial letters of credit as of June 30, 2015 totaled $10,900,000. As of December 31, 2014, there were no commercial letters of credit. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2015 for payments under letters of credit issued was not material. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk.

Additionally, the Company has committed to fund and sell qualifying residential mortgage loans to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh in the total amount of $15,000,000. As of June 30, 2015, $8,243,000 remains to be delivered on that commitment, of which none has been committed to borrowers.

12. Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 26, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with FNBPA Bancorp, Inc. (“FNBPA”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the shares of FNBPA Bancorp in a stock and cash transaction. Under the Merger Agreement, FNBPA Bancorp shareholders may elect to receive, in exchange for each share of FNBPA Bancorp common stock they own, either cash of $50.34 or 2.7813 shares of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. (“JUVF”) common stock, subject to election and allocation procedures designed to result in the aggregate cash merger consideration representing between 15% and 25% of the total merger consideration issued in the transaction. The transaction is valued at approximately $13.2 million.

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, FNBPA will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, First National Bank of Port Allegany, a national banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of FNBPA, will merge with and into The Juniata Valley Bank (“JVB”), a Pennsylvania-state chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with JVB continuing as the surviving entity. The Merger Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors of each of the Company and FNBPA. FNBPA shareholders may seek appraisal rights as dissenting shareholders under Pennsylvania law.

The merger is subject to customary closing conditions enumerated in the merger agreement, including receipt of regulatory approvals and the approval of both the Company’s and FNBPA’s shareholders. It is anticipated that the transaction will close by the end of 2015.

13. Subsequent Event

In July 2015, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.22 per share to shareholders of record on August 14, 2015, payable on September 1, 2015.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements:

The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations thereunder) including statements which are not historical facts or address trends or management's intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or opinions. Such forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and may be affected by various factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements including, without limitation:

the effect of market interest rates, particularly a continuing period of low market interest rates, and relative balances of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities, on net interest margin and net interest income; the effect of competition on rates of deposit and loan growth and net interest margin;

the impact of adverse changes in the economy and real estate markets, including protracted periods of low-growth and sluggish loan demand;

increases in non-performing assets, which may result in increases in the allowance for credit losses, loan charge-offs and elevated collection and carrying costs related to such non-performing assets;

other income growth, including the impact of regulatory changes which have reduced debit card interchange revenue;

investment securities gains and losses, including other than temporary declines in the value of securities which may result in charges to earnings;

the level of other expenses, including salaries and employee benefit expenses;

the increasing time and expense associated with regulatory compliance and risk management;

the uncertainty and lack of clear regulatory guidance associated with the delay in implementing many of the regulations mandated by the Dodd Frank Act; and

capital and liquidity strategies, including the expected impact of the capital and liquidity requirements proposed by the Basel III standards.

non-recurring expenses related to the merger and incurred as a result of integrating operations could affect the results of operations in the period in which such charges are recorded.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward looking information, whether as a result of new or updated information, future events or otherwise. For a more complete discussion of certain risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting the Company, refer to the Company’s Risk Factors, contained in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a copy of which may be obtained from the Company upon request and without charge (except for the exhibits thereto).

Critical Accounting Policies:

Disclosure of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Some of these policies require significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions to be made by management, most particularly in connection with determining the provision for loan losses and the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses, as well as management’s evaluation of the investment portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment. There have been no changes in critical accounting policies since December 31, 2014.

General:

The following discussion relates to the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2015, as compared to December 31, 2014, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein.

Overview:

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 1983 to be the holding company of The Juniata Valley Bank. The Bank is a state-chartered bank headquartered in Mifflintown, Pennsylvania. Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and its subsidiary bank derive substantially all of their income from banking and bank-related services, including interest earned on residential real estate, commercial mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, interest earned on investment securities and fee income from deposit services and other financial services to its customers through 12 locations in central Pennsylvania. Juniata Valley Financial Corp. also owns 39.16% of Liverpool Community Bank (LCB), located in Liverpool, Pennsylvania. The Company accounts for LCB as an unconsolidated subsidiary using the equity method of accounting.

Financial Condition:

Total assets as of June 30, 2015, were $487.1 million, an increase of 1.4% compared to December 31, 2014. Comparing the balances at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, deposits decreased by $2.1 million, with non-interest bearing deposits increasing by $1.3 million and interest-bearing deposits decreasing by $3.4 million. The Company’s investment portfolio decreased by $4.6 million and borrowings increased by $9.5 million.

The table below shows changes in deposit volumes by type of deposit (in thousands of dollars) between December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015.

	June 30,		December 31,		Change

Overall, total loans increased $9.2 million, or 3.1%, between December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015, as shown in the table below (in thousands of dollars), primarily due to decreases in real estate mortgage loans and loans to obligations of states and political subdivisions.

A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands) is presented below.

	Periods Ended June 30,

Balance of allowance - end of period	$	2,315		$	2,358

Ratio of net charge-offs during period to average loans outstanding		0.08	%		0.02	%

During the first six months of 2015, the Company recorded charge-offs of $233,000, partially offset by $6,000 in recoveries.

As of June 30, 2015, 45 loans, with aggregate outstanding balances of $5,681,000, were individually evaluated for impairment. A collateral analysis was performed on each of these 45 loans in order to establish a portion of the reserve needed to carry impaired loans at fair value. As a result, one loan was determined to have insufficient collateral, and a specific reserve, totaling $2,000, was established for the impaired loan.

Management believes that the specific reserves carried are adequate to cover potential future losses related to these relationships. There are no other material loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention which management expects to significantly impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.

Following is a summary of the Bank’s non-performing loans on June 30, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014.

(Dollar amounts in thousands)

	As of and for the			As of and for the

Average loans outstanding	$	293,334		$	281,608

Ratio of non-performing loans to average loans outstanding		1.52	%		2.00	%

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company initiated a leverage strategy and issued long-term debt in the amount of $22,500,000, with maturities ranging from two years to five years, at fixed rates ranging from 0.63% to 2.0%. The funds were used to purchase investment securities with similar projected average lives.

Stockholders’ equity increased from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015 by $246,000, or 0.5%. The Company’s net income exceeded dividends paid by $82,000. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income of $80,000 to record the amortization of the net actuarial loss of the Company’s defined benefit retirement plan added $79,000 to the Company’s equity. The market value of securities available for sale remained relatively unchanged when comparing June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2014, resulting in nominal effect on shareholders’ equity. The Company’s employees invested $57,000 pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and were issued a total of 3,242 shares of stock during the second quarter of 2015, and stock based compensation expense recorded pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan added $27,000 during the six month period.

Subsequent to June 30, 2015, the following event took place:

On July 21, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.22 per share to shareholders of record on August 14, 2015, payable on September 1, 2015.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Operations Overview:

Net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $1,001,000, a decrease of $162,000, or 13.9%, when compared to the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was due primarily to increased cost of employee benefits and higher non-interest expense, which included merger and acquisition costs, in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, as well as reduced non-interest income; these factors offset an increase in net interest income. The reduction in non-interest income in the second quarter of 2015 was due to the receipt of significant life insurance proceeds in the second quarter of 2014, offset by an increase in customer service fees. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.24 in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $0.28 in the second quarter of 2014. Presented below are selected key ratios for the two periods:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
	2015			2014
Return on average assets (annualized)		0.84	%		0.97	%
Return on average equity (annualized)		7.99	%		9.23	%
Average equity to average assets		10.55	%		10.56	%

Non-interest income, excluding securities gains, as a percentage of average assets (annualized)		0.95	%		0.98	%
Non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets (annualized)		3.05	%		2.85	%

The discussion that follows further explains changes in the components of net income when comparing the second quarter of 2015 with the second quarter of 2014.

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income was $3,724,000 for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to $3,642,000 in the same quarter in 2014. Average earning assets decreased by 0.6%, and the net interest margin, on a fully tax equivalent basis, increased by 10 basis points.

Although average loan balances increased by $17.3 million, or 6.2%, interest on loans decreased $114,000 in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. A decrease of 46 basis points in the average weighted yield on loans reducing interest income by approximately $326,000, offset an increase in average loans outstanding, which increased interest income by $212,000.

Interest earned on investment securities increased $10,000 in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014. Yield increases added $79,000, while average balance reductions reduced interest income by $69,000. The overall pre-tax yield on the investment securities portfolio increased during the period by 22 basis points, with the average balance decreasing to $15.6 million.

Total average earning assets during the second quarter of 2015 were $433.8 million, compared to $436.3 million during the second quarter of 2014, yielding 3.89% in 2015 versus 3.97% in 2014. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $4.9 million, including an increase in average non-interest bearing deposits of $1.4 million. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities was due to a reduction in time deposits. The cost to fund interest bearing liabilities dropped by 21 basis points, to 0.59%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2015 was 3.57%. For the same period in 2014, the fully-tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.47%.

Provision for Loan Losses:

In the second quarter of 2015, the provision for loan losses was $112,000, as compared to a provision of $117,000 in the second quarter of 2014. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the loan loss reserve and makes assessments as to specific loan impairment, historical charge-off expectations, general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area, specific loan quality and other factors. As of June 30, 2015, non-performing loans as a percentage of average outstanding loans was 1.52%, improved from 2.00% on December 31, 2014 and from 2.06% on June 30, 2014. Factors affecting the provision for loan losses were the improvement in non-performing loans partially offset by provisioning for increased loan balances and credit concentrations. See the earlier discussion in the Financial Condition section, explaining the information used to determine the provision.

Non-interest Income:

Non-interest income in the second quarter of 2015 was $1,130,000, compared to $1,170,000 in the second quarter of 2014, representing a decrease of $40,000, or 3.4%.

Most significantly impacting recurring non-interest income in the second quarter of 2015 was an increase in customer service fees of $99,000, or 34.1%, in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was attributable to the repricing and introduction of a new checking account lineup in the third quarter of 2014, which includes a new service to depositors that provides detection, suppression and repair of a wide spectrum of identity theft issues. Also significantly impacting the comparative second quarter periods was a $165,000 gain from life insurance proceeds recorded in the second quarter of 2014 and no such gain was recorded in the 2015 period. As the Company carries BOLI, gains such as this can occur inconsistently at any time, and no such gain was present in 2015. Another non-recurring item in the second quarter of 2014 was a lump-sum fee of $40,000 collected on a terminated trust relationship, resulting in elevated trust fees for that period. Fee income from trust services decreased by $47,000, or 35.9%, because as the 2014 second quarter included the aforementioned lump-sum termination fee of $40,000.

Commissions from the sales of non-deposit products increased in the second quarter of 2015 by $30,000, or 34.1%, as sales activity increased. Income from the unconsolidated subsidiary increased $5,000, or 8.8%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. Fees derived from loan activity increased by $20,000, or 62.5%, due primarily to an increase in title insurance fees.

The Company originates mortgages to sell on the secondary market, while retaining the servicing rights; the Company has built a servicing portfolio of approximately $21.8 million as of June 30, 2015. The mortgage servicing right asset, as of June 30, 2015, was $204,000. Mortgage banking income is made up of origination and servicing fees collected from the buyer, origination points collected from the borrower and an adjustment to the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights asset. In the second quarter of 2015, mortgage banking income was $60,000, an increase of 4,000, or 7.1%, from the second quarter of 2014.

Less significant changes in non-interest income categories included slight changes in debit card fee income, earnings on bank-owned life insurance and other miscellaneous income.

Net gains of $1,000 were realized on the sale of securities in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 when net gains of $2,000 were realized.

As a percentage of average assets, annualized non-interest income, exclusive of net gains on the sale of securities, was 0.95% in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to 0.98% in the second quarter of 2014. Excluding the gain from life insurance proceeds mentioned above, the ratio in the second quarter of 2014 would have been 0.84%.

Non-interest Expense:

Total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2015 was $3,621,000, or 6.4%, higher in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014. Employee compensation expense decreased by $7,000, due primarily to staffing efficiencies. Employee benefits costs increased by $110,000, or 30.3%, due to increased medical insurance and defined benefit plan costs.

Occupancy and equipment costs increased a total of $33,000, or 9.3%, in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 due primarily to increased costs for utilities and maintenance. Data processing expense was higher by $20,000, or $5.4% in the comparative periods as electronic services to customers continue to expand. Other real estate owned acquired as a result of foreclosure activity were sold in both periods, yielding a gain of $29,000 in the second quarter of 2014 versus a net loss of $5,000 in the second quarter of 2015. Merger and acquisition costs related to the aforementioned definitive merger agreement were $48,000 in the second quarter of 2015, while no such costs were occurred in the second quarter of 2014. The category of “other non-interest expense” increased by $30,000 in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to the second quarter of 2014, due mostly to increased advertising costs, foreclosure activity costs and employee benefit accounting costs.

As a percentage of average assets, annualized non-interest expense was 3.05% in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 2.85% in the second quarter of 2014.

Provision for income taxes:

Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2015 was $120,000 as compared to the $131,000 recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The Company qualifies for a federal tax credit for a low-income housing project investment, and the tax provisions for each period reflect the application of the tax credit. For the second quarter of 2015, the tax credit lowered the effective tax rate from 23.5% to 10.7%. In the second quarter of 2014, when earnings from tax exempt sources were lower and the tax credit for the period was higher, the effective tax rate was lowered from 21.3% to 10.1%.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Operations Overview:

Net income for the six months of 2015 was $1,925,000, a decrease of $141,000, or 6.8%, compared to the first six months of 2014. The decrease was due primarily to increased employee benefits costs. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.46 in the first six months of 2015, representing a decrease of 6.1% from the $0.49 earned in the first six months of 2014. Annualized return on average equity for the first six months in 2014 was 7.68%, compared to 8.20% for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of 6.3%. For the six months ended June 30, annualized return on average assets was 0.81% in 2015, versus 0.89% in 2014.

Presented below are selected key ratios for the two periods:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2015			2014
Return on average assets (annualized)		0.81	%		0.89	%
Return on average equity (annualized)		7.68	%		8.20	%
Average equity to average assets		10.55	%		10.91	%

Non-interest income, excluding securities gains, as a percentage of average assets (annualized)		0.90	%		0.90	%
Non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets (annualized)		3.04	%		2.92	%

The discussion that follows explains changes in the components of net income when comparing the first six months of 2015 with the first six months of 2014.

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income was $7,385,000 for the first six months of 2015, as compared to $7,051,000 in the same period in 2014, an increase of $334,000, or 4.7%. Average earning assets increased by $13.9 million, or 3.3%, and the net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis increased by 4 basis points.

On average, loans outstanding increased by $17.4 million, or 6.3%. Interest on loans decreased $117,000, or 1.6%, in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. An average weighted yield decrease of 39 basis points lowered interest income by approximately $542,000, while the higher volume of loans partially offset that decrease by $425,000.

Interest earned on investment securities increased $204,000 in the first six months of 2015 as compared to 2014, with average balances decreasing $0.6 million during the period. The overall pre-tax yield on the investment securities portfolio increased during the period by 30 basis points.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $10.7 million, including an increase in average non-interest bearing deposits of $1.9 million. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 19 basis points as a result of the lower general rate environment and the shift in the mix of interest bearing liabilities.

Total average earning assets during the first six months of 2015 were $434.6 million, compared to $420.7 million during the first six months of 2014, yielding 3.89% in 2015 versus 3.98% in 2014. Funding costs for earning assets were 0.49% and 0.63% for the first six months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis for the first six months of 2015 was 3.53%. For the same period in 2014, the fully-tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.49%.

Provision for Loan Losses:

In the first six months of 2015, the provision for loan losses was $162,000, as compared to a provision of $137,000 in the first six months of 2014. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the loan loss reserve and makes assessments as to specific loan impairment, historical charge-off expectations, general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area, specific loan quality and other factors. See the earlier discussion in the Financial Condition section, explaining the information used to determine the provision.

Non-interest Income:

Non-interest income in the first six months of 2015 was $2,130,000, an increase of $40,000, or 1.9%, compared to $2,090,000 in the first six months of 2014. The increase was achieved despite several non-recurring income items present in the 2014 period which did not recur in the 2015 period. Most significantly impacting non-interest income in the first six months of 2014 was the gain of $165,000 in death benefits related to bank-owned life insurance. Additionally, trust fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included $40,000 of non-recurring income from the collection of an account termination fee. Excluding these two non-recurring items, non-interest income in the first six months of 2015 exceeded the first six months of 2014 by $245,000, or 13.0%. Most significantly impacting recurring non-interest income in the six months ended June 30, 2015, when comparing to the six months ended June 30, 2014, were revenues from the aforementioned new checking account products. Fees for the new products were primarily responsible for the $195,000, or 34.9%, increase in customer service fees in the 2015 period as compared to the same period in the previous year.

During the first half of 2015, mortgage banking income and other fees derived from loan activity increased in the aggregate by $45,000, or 29.0% from the levels recorded in the first half of 2014 due to increased mortgage origination and title insurance activity.

As a percentage of average assets, annualized non-interest income, exclusive of net gains on the sale of securities, was 0.90% in the first six months of 2015 and 2014.

Non-interest Expense:

Total non-interest expense was $7,225,000 for the first six months of 2015, $488,000, or 7.2%, higher than in the first six months of 2014.

The increase was primarily due to increases in employee compensation and benefits and costs associated with merger and acquisition activities.

Compensation expense for the first six months of 2015 increased by $115,000 as compared to the first six months of 2014, due to a number of factors. Full-time equivalent employment increased as of June 30, 2015 as compared to June 30, 2014, and Company-wide annual salary adjustments occurred early in the second quarter of 2015.

Costs of employee benefits was $1,023,000 in the first six months of 2015 versus $766,000 in the first six months of 2014, representing an increase of $257,000, or 33.6%. The increase was primarily due to higher medical insurance expenses of $165,000 within the Company’s self-funded plan and higher costs associated with the frozen defined benefit plan of $76,000.

Costs associated with merger and acquisition activities added $58,000 of non-interest expense to the first six months of 2015, with no such expenses recorded in the same period one year ago.

As a percentage of average assets, annualized non-interest expense was 3.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 2.92% for the same six month period in 2014.

Provision for income taxes:

Income tax expense in the first six months of 2015 was $203,000 as compared to the $201,000 recorded in the first six months of 2014. The Company qualifies for a federal tax credit for its low-income housing project investment, and the tax provisions for each period reflect the application of the tax credit. The tax credit recorded in the first six months of 2015 and 2014 was $287,000, offsetting $490,000 in regular tax expense in the 2015 period and $488,000 of regular tax expense in the 2014 period. For the first six months of 2015, the tax credit lowered the effective tax rate from 23.0% to 9.6% as compared to the same period in 2014, in which the tax credit lowered the effective tax rate from 21.6% to 8.9%.

Liquidity:

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that sufficient funding is available, at a reasonable cost, to meet the ongoing operational cash needs of the Company and to take advantage of income producing opportunities as they arise. While the desired level of liquidity will vary depending upon a variety of factors, it is the primary goal of the Company to maintain a high level of liquidity in all economic environments. Principal sources of asset liquidity are provided by loans and securities maturing in one year or less, and other short-term investments, such as federal funds sold and cash and due from banks. Liability liquidity, which is more difficult to measure, can be met by attracting deposits and maintaining the core deposit base. The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh for the purpose of providing short-term liquidity when other sources are unable to fill these needs. During the first six months of 2015, overnight borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank averaged $5,286,000. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had short term borrowings and long-term debt with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $25,450,000 and $22,500,000, respectively, and had remaining unused borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of $101.6 million.

Funding derived from securities sold under agreements to repurchase (accounted for as collateralized financing transactions) is available through corporate cash management accounts for business customers. This product gives the Company the ability to pay interest on corporate checking accounts.

In view of the sources previously mentioned, management believes that the Company's liquidity is capable of providing the funds needed to meet operational cash needs.

On June 26, 2015, the Company and FNBPA, entered into a merger agreement that provides for the combination of the two companies. Under the merger agreement, FNBPA will merge with and into the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving entity, and the separate corporate existence of FNBPA will cease. First National Bank of Port Allegany, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNBPA, will merge with and into JVB, with JVB continuing as the surviving entity. The cash expenditure of the merger is estimated to be between $2,500,000 and $3,800,000 and will be funded by available cash. For further discussion on the merger, please see the Merger Agreement section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:

The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk. These commitments consist mainly of loans approved but not yet funded, unused lines of credit and outstanding letters of credit. These commitments were made using the same credit standards as are used for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment terms. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the financial performance obligation of a customer to a third party. Unused commitments and letters of credit at June 30, 2015 were $40,046,000 and $12,569,000, respectively. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company. Management believes that any amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations. Additionally, the Company has committed to fund and sell qualifying residential mortgage loans to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh in the total amount of $15,000,000. As of June 30, 2015, $8,243,000 remains to be delivered on that commitment, of which none has been committed to borrowers. The Company has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.

Interest Rate Sensitivity:

Interest rate sensitivity management is overseen by the Asset/Liability Management Committee. This process involves the development and implementation of strategies to maximize net interest margin, while minimizing the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. Traditional gap analysis identifies the maturity and re-pricing terms of all assets and liabilities. A simulation analysis is used to assess earnings and capital at risk from movements in interest rates. See Item 3 for a description of the complete simulation process and results.

Capital Adequacy:

Bank regulatory authorities in the United States issue risk-based capital standards. These capital standards relate a banking company’s capital to the risk profile of its assets and provide the basis by which all banking companies and banks are evaluated in terms of capital adequacy. Effective January 1, 2015, the risk-based capital rules were modified subject to a transition period for several aspects of the final rules, including the new minimum capital ratio requirements, the capital conservation buffer and the regulatory capital adjustments and deductions. The new framework is commonly called “BASEL III”. The final rules revised federal regulatory agencies’ risk-based and leverage capital requirements and their method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with the Basel III framework. The final rules apply to all depository institutions, top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more, and top-tier savings and loan holding companies (“banking organizations”). Among other things, the rules established a new common equity tier 1 (CET1) minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets) and a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement (from 4.0% to 6.0% of risk-weighted assets), and assign higher risk weightings (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property.

Basel III requires financial institutions to maintain: (a) a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% CET1 ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0%); (b) a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation); (c) a minimum ratio of total (that is, tier 1 plus tier 2) capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation); and (d) a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%, calculated as the ratio of tier 1 capital balance sheet exposures plus certain off-balance sheet exposures (computed as the average for each quarter of the month-end ratios for the quarter). In addition, the proposed rules also limit a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer”.

According to the new rules, CET1 is comprised of common stock plus related surplus, net of treasury stock and other contra-equity components, retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income. However, certain banking institutions, including the Bank, were permitted to make a one-time election to opt out of the requirement to include most components of AOCI in CET1. This opt-out option was available only on March 31, 2015. The Bank elected to opt-out. At June 30, 2015, the Bank exceeded the regulatory requirements to be considered a "well capitalized" financial institution, under the new rules.

On June 26, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with FNBPA Bancorp, Inc. (“FNBPA”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the shares of FNBPA Bancorp in a stock and cash transaction. Under the Merger Agreement, FNBPA Bancorp shareholders may elect to receive, in exchange for each share of FNBPA Bancorp common stock they own, either cash of $50.34 or 2.7813 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to election and allocation procedures designed to result in the aggregate cash merger consideration representing between 15% and 25% of the total merger consideration issued in the transaction. The transaction is valued at approximately $13.2 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. The types of market risk exposures generally faced by financial institutions include equity market price risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations, only equity market price risk and interest rate risk are significant to the Company.

Equity market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of equity investments could have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. The Company’s equity investments consist of common stocks of publicly traded financial institutions.

Declines and volatility in the values of financial institution stocks in the last several years have significantly reduced the likelihood of realizing significant gains in the near-term. Although the Company has realized occasional gains from this portfolio in the past, the primary objective of the portfolio is to achieve value appreciation in the long term while earning consistently attractive after-tax yields from dividends. The carrying value of the financial institutions stocks accounted for 0.3% of the Company’s total assets as of June 30, 2015. Management performs an impairment analysis on the entire investment portfolio, including the financial institutions stocks, on a quarterly basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, no “other-than-temporary” impairment was identified. There is no assurance that declines in market values of the common stock portfolio in the future will not result in “other-than-temporary” impairment charges, depending upon facts and circumstances present.

The equity investments in the Company’s portfolio had an adjusted cost basis of approximately $1,055,000 and a fair value of $1,572,000 at June 30, 2015. Net unrealized gains in this portfolio were approximately $517,000 at June 30, 2015.

In addition to its equity portfolio, the Company’s investment management and trust services revenue could be impacted by fluctuations in the securities markets. A portion of the Company’s trust revenue is based on the value of the underlying investment portfolios. If securities values decline, the Company’s trust revenue could be negatively impacted.

Interest rate risk creates exposure in two primary areas. First, changes in rates have an impact on the Company’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow. Second, movements in interest rates can create fluctuations in the Company’s net interest income and changes in the economic value of equity.

The primary objective of the Company’s asset-liability management process is to maximize current and future net interest income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain amount of interest rate risk is inherent, appropriate and necessary to ensure profitability. A simulation analysis is used to assess earnings and capital at risk from movements in interest rates. The model considers three major factors: (1) volume differences; (2) repricing differences; and (3) timing in its income simulation. As of the most recent model run, data was disseminated into appropriate repricing buckets, based upon the static position at that time. The interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were assigned a multiplier to simulate how much that particular balance sheet item would re-price when interest rates change. Finally, the estimated timing effect of rate changes is applied, and the net interest income effect is determined on a static basis (as if no other factors were present). As the table below indicates, based upon rate shock simulations on a static basis, the Company’s balance sheet is relatively rate-neutral as rates decline. Each 100 basis point increase results in approximately $672,000 decline in net interest income in the static environment. This negative effect of rising rates is offset to a degree by the positive effect of imbedded options that include loans floating above their floors and likely internal deposit pricing strategies. After applying the effects of options, over a one-year period, the net effect of an immediate 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point rate increase would change net interest income by $(290,000), $(554,000), $(1,893,000) and $(2,398,000), respectively. Rate shock modeling was done for a declining rate of 25 basis points only, as the federal funds target rate currently is between zero and 0.25%. As the table below indicates, the net effect of interest rate risk on net interest income is minimal in a rising rate environment through a 200 basis point increase. Juniata’s rate risk policies provide for maximum limits on net interest income that can be at risk for 100 through 400 basis point changes in interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2015, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), Rule 13a-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. These controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote.

Attached as Exhibits 31 and 32 to this quarterly report are certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14(a) and rule 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act. This portion of the Company’s quarterly report includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.
