Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

The Personnel Committee of the Board of Director of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. set performance goals and opportunities for cash bonuses payable under the Executive Annual Incentive Plan (EAIP) for the 2010 fiscal year. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee established corporate performance goals for return on average equity (ROAE) and earnings per share (EPS) as the key measures for the EAIP for Mr. Evanitsky, Ms. Barber and Ms. McMinn. In addition to the ROAE and EPS goals, a portion of the EAIP award for Ms. Barber and Ms. McMinn for fiscal year 2010 will be based upon achieving specific individual performance objectives.

The following table sets forth the percentages of annual base salary that the Named Executive Officers could earn in fiscal year 2010 upon achievement of the performance goals within the established threshold, target and maximum performance ranges set under the EAIP:
