Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations for the reported periods, and are of a normal and recurring nature.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited financial statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (PeoplesBank), and its wholly owned nonbank subsidiary, SYC Realty Company, Inc. (collectively referred to as Codorus Valley or the Corporation). PeoplesBank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Codorus Valley Financial Advisors, Inc. and SYC Settlement Services, Inc. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The combined results of operations of the nonbank subsidiaries are not material to the consolidated financial statements.
The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Stock dividend and per share computations
All per share computations include the effect of stock dividends declared, including a 5 percent stock dividend declared April 8, 2008. The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding used for basic and diluted calculations are provided below.

Comprehensive income
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) and related tax effects are presented in the following table:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (Statement 161). Statement 161 requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. Statement 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of SFAS 133 has been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Statement 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
FASB Statement No. 141 (R) “Business Combinations” was issued in December of 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted FASB Statement No. 157. Refer to Note 9 for disclosure required as a result of adoption.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” that permits a one-year deferral in applying the measurement provisions of Statement No. 157 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities (non-financial items) that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, if the change in fair value of a non-financial item is not required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on an annual basis or more frequently, the effective date of application of Statement 157 to that item is deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This deferral does not apply, however, to an entity that applies Statement 157 in interim or annual financial statements before proposed FSP 157-2 is finalized. The Company elected to delay the application of SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 159 and did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities at this time.
In September 2006, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The EITF requires that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee’s benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee’s active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. Alternatively, if the policy holder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. Implementation is required in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. Management has elected the cumulative-effect adjustment method under EITF Issue No. 06-4 and recorded a one time charge of $703,000 to retained earnings on January 1, 2008. Recognition of the current liability as an expense through the income statement is expected to approximate $56,000 for 2008.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110) amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, "Share-Based Payment,” of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue use of the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007.

PeoplesBank’s obligations to Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLBP) are fixed rate and fixed/floating (convertible) rate instruments. The FHLBP has an option on the convertible borrowings to convert the rate to a floating rate after the expiration of a specified period. The floating rate is based on the LIBOR index plus a spread. If the FHLBP elects to exercise its conversion option, PeoplesBank may repay the converted loan without a prepayment penalty.
Note 5—Regulatory Matters
Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on Codorus Valley’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators.
Quantitative measures established by regulators to ensure capital adequacy require Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank to maintain minimum ratios, as set forth below, to total and Tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to year-to-date average assets (leverage ratio). Management believes that Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank were well capitalized on March 31, 2008, based on FDIC capital guidelines.

Note 7—Contingent Liabilities
Management is not aware of any material contingent liabilities on March 31, 2008.

- 11 -


 

Note 8—Guarantees
Codorus Valley does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the PeoplesBank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Corporation had $3,362,000 of standby letters of credit outstanding on March 31, 2008, compared to $3,381,000 on December 31, 2007. 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 payment required under the corresponding letters of credit. The current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued, is not material.
Note 9—Fair Values of Financial Instruments
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Statement primarily resulted in expansion of disclosures pertaining to the methods used to determine fair values for the Company.
Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Statement 157 are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).
For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
                                 
            Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2008 Using
            Quoted Prices in   Significant Other   Significant Other
            Active Markets for   Observable   Unobservable

Total
  $ 99,630     $ 49,488     $ 34,024     $ 16,118  
 

- 12 -


 

A description of the valuation methodologies as of March 31, 2008 for the above listed assets follows.
Securities available-for-sale: Fair values of securities available-for-sale were based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. Unrealized gains and losses related to securities available-for-sale are reported as a component of other comprehensive income.
Loans held for sale: Fair values of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices and reported at the lower of cost or fair value, as determined in the aggregate. The amount, by which cost exceeds fair value, if any, is accounted for as a valuation allowance and is charged to expense in the period of change. There was no valuation allowance established as of March 31, 2008.
Impaired loans: Loans included in the preceding table are those that are accounted for under SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third party appraisals of the properties. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of the collateral supporting such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require increase, such increase is reported as a component of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when Management believes that the uncollectability of a loan is confirmed. These loans are included as Level 3 fair values, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of loan balances less valuation allowances as determined under SFAS 114.
During the first quarter of 2008, certain impaired loans were re-evaluated resulting in a remaining balance for impaired loans, net of specific allowance, of $16,118,000 at March 31, 2008, compared to $14,403,000 at December 31, 2007. The Company received payments on impaired loans and other credits of $277,000; added $2,252,000 of additional impaired loans during the reported quarter; and allocated an additional $260,000 of the allowance for loan losses to impaired loans.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. (Codorus Valley or the Corporation), a bank holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company (PeoplesBank), are provided below. Codorus Valley’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of PeoplesBank’s financial condition and results of operations. Current performance does not guarantee, and may not be indicative of, similar performance in the future.
Forward-looking statements:
Management of the Corporation has made forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. When words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates” or similar expressions occur in the Form 10-Q, management is making forward-looking statements.
Readers should note that many factors, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this report and in the documents that are incorporated by reference, could affect the future financial results of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, both individually and collectively, and could cause those results to differ materially from

- 13 -


 

those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q. These factors include:
  operating, legal and regulatory risks;
 
  economic, political and competitive forces affecting banking, securities, asset management and credit services businesses; and
 
  the risk that management’s analysis of these risks and forces could be incorrect and/or that the strategies developed to address them could be unsuccessful.
The Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents that Codorus Valley files periodically with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Critical accounting estimates:
Disclosure of Codorus Valley’s significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007. Some of these policies require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities.
Management makes significant estimates in determining the allowance for loan losses. Management considers a variety of factors in establishing this estimate such as current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, financial and managerial strengths of borrowers, adequacy of collateral, if collateral dependent, and present value of future cash flows and other relevant factors. Estimates related to the value of collateral also have a significant impact on whether or not management continues to accrue income on delinquent loans and on the amounts at which foreclosed real estate is recorded on the statement of financial condition. Additional information is contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis regarding critical accounting estimates, including the provision and allowance for loan losses, located on pages 16 and 21 of this Form 10-Q.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted FASB Statement No. 157, which is disclosed in this report under Note 9—Fair Values of Financial Instruments. Statement No. 157 expands disclosures pertaining to the methods used to determine fair values and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure the fair value of selected assets and liabilities. Also on January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-4 that pertains to recognizing a liability related to postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The impact of adopting EITF Issue No. 06-4 is disclosed in this report under the Recent Accounting Pronouncements section of Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies.
Management discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates and related Management Discussion and Analysis disclosure with the Audit Committee. There were no material changes made to the critical accounting estimates during the periods presented within this report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Corporation earned $1,523,000 or $.39 per share ($.38 diluted) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1,769,000 or $.46 per share ($.45 diluted), for the same period of 2007, representing a $246,000 or 14 percent decrease. The first quarter of 2007 included the favorable impact of an $839,000

- 14 -


 

pre-tax ($554,000 after-tax) recovery of loan losses that were incurred by PeoplesBank during 2002-2003. Due to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007, the full amount of the recovery was recorded as a reduction to the loan loss provision at that time.
On a comparable basis, net income for quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased $308,000 or 25 percent above first quarter 2007 adjusted ($1,769,000 less $554,000 for the after-tax effect of the loan loss recovery described above). The increase in current quarter earnings was attributable to increases in net interest income and noninterest income, which more than offset an increase in noninterest expense. The increase in net interest income was due to a larger volume of earning assets, principally loans, and a decrease in funding costs, particularly floating rate money market and time deposits, whose rates declined in response to aggressive interest rate cuts by the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve. The recovery of interest income from two delinquent commercial loans also positively impacted net interest income. The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributable to an increase in fees and commissions from the sale of mutual fund, annuity and insurance products. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel expense, which reflected staff additions to support planned business growth.
Net income as a percentage of average shareholders’ equity (ROE) was 12.49 percent for the first three months (annualized) of 2008, compared to 16.13 percent for the same period of 2007. Net income as a percentage of average total assets (ROA) was 1.02 percent for the first three months (annualized) of 2008, compared to 1.28 percent for the same period of 2007. Both ratios for 2007 were favorably impacted by the aforementioned recovery of loan losses. The efficiency ratio was 66.3 percent for the first quarter of 2008, compared to 72.3 percent for the same quarter of 2007. Last year’s ratio was higher than normal as a result of recognizing an infrequent $185,000 loan prepayment penalty expense on the early pay-down of a $2 million Federal Home Loan Bank advance. An increase in the level of net operating revenue for the current quarter also contributed to the decrease in the efficiency ratio.
On March 31, 2008, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and net foreclosed real estate were 2.24 percent, compared to 0.99 percent at March 31, 2007. Information regarding nonperforming assets is provided in the Risk Management section of this report, including Table 3—Nonperforming Assets. Based on a recent evaluation of probable loan losses and the current loan portfolio, management believes that the allowance is adequate to support losses inherent in the loan portfolio on March 31, 2008. An analysis of the allowance is provided in Table 4—Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses.
Throughout the current period Codorus Valley maintained a capital level well above minimum regulatory quantitative requirements. Currently, there are three federal regulatory definitions of capital that take the form of minimum ratios. Note 5—Regulatory Matters, shows that the Corporation and PeoplesBank were well capitalized on March 31, 2008.
A more detailed analysis of the factors and trends affecting corporate earnings follows.
INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS
Net interest income
Net interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, was $5,441,000, an increase of $816,000 or 18 percent above the same period in 2007 due to a larger volume of earning assets and lower funding costs. Earning assets averaged $554 million and yielded 6.94 percent (tax equivalent basis) for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $516 million and 7.36%, respectively, for 2007. The $38 million or 7 percent increase in average earning assets was the result of loan growth within the home equity, commercial and mortgage loan categories. The current quarter also included the recovery of interest income and fees

- 15 -


 

from two delinquent commercial loans. Approximately $179,000 of the interest income recovery pertained to amounts due from 2007.
For the first three months of 2008, total interest expense decreased $625,000 or 14 percent, compared to 2007 due primarily to lower market interest rates. Total interest bearing liabilities averaged $502 million at an average rate of 3.17 percent for the current quarter, compared to $463 million and 4.01 percent, respectively, for 2007. The $39 million or 8 percent increase in interest bearing liabilities was driven by an increase in deposits, principally time deposits. During the current quarter deposit customers continued to replace floating rate money market and time deposits with fixed rate time deposits to increase their return. The decline in loan yields and deposit rates, particularly floating rate products, reflected a series of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve that began in September 2007 to stimulate the US economy. The cost of the Corporation’s long-term debt decreased $221,000 or 37 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2007 due to a decrease in volume, which resulted from a scheduled maturity that was not refinanced and the pay-off of two borrowings prior to maturity that occurred in 2007.
The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.07 percent for the first quarter of 2008, compared to 4.17 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007 and 3.76 percent for the first quarter of 2007.
Provision for loan losses
For quarter ended March 31, 2008, the provision for loan losses was $150,000, which reflected business loan growth and bolstering the allowance against a sluggish US economy and a continued downturn in real estate markets. Comparatively, the Corporation recorded a $919,000 recovery (credit) for the first quarter of 2007. In February 2007, PeoplesBank recovered $839,000, representing its portion of a $12 million restitution fund created in settlement of a claim by the United States Department of Justice against the Bank of New York. The funds substantially reimbursed PeoplesBank for losses that it incurred in 2002 and 2003 that pertained to a group of related equipment leasing contracts that PeoplesBank acquired through a third-party broker. The Bank of New York was escrow agent for payment under those contracts.
Noninterest income
The following table presents the components of total noninterest income for the first quarter of 2008, compared to the first quarter of 2007.

The discussion that follows addresses changes in selected categories of noninterest income.
Trust and investment services fees—For the first three months of 2008, trust fees were slightly below the same period in 2007, due in part to the transfer of selected accounts to Codorus Valley Financial Advisors (reference mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales below).
Service charges on deposit accounts—For the first three months of 2008, service charges on deposit accounts increased $66,000 or 15 percent above the same period in 2007. The increase was due to an increase in check card (i.e., debit card) interchange income in response to increased customer usage. An increase in income from NSF fees, due to a larger volume of overdrafts and an increase in the number of checking accounts, also contributed to the increase in service charges.
Mutual fund, annuity and insurance sales—For the first three months of 2008, income from the sale of mutual funds, annuities and insurance products by Codorus Valley Financial Advisors, a subsidiary of PeoplesBank, increased $210,000 or 76 percent above the same period in 2007 due primarily to an increase in sales. The transfer of accounts from the trust division, as previously described, also contributed to the increase.
Gains on sales of mortgages—For the first three months of 2008, gains from the sale of mortgages decreased $34,000 or 36 percent below the same period in 2007, due largely to management’s decision to retain a portion of loan production in the portfolio to increase interest income.
Noninterest expense
The following table presents the components of total noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2008, compared to the first quarter of 2007.
In the period ahead, it is probable that noninterest expense will increase as a result of planned franchise expansion, investment in technology, and the assessment of fees on the banking industry by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

The discussion that follows addresses changes in selected categories of noninterest expense.
Personnel—For the first three months of 2008, personnel expense, comprised of wages, payroll taxes and employee benefits, increased $322,000 or 13 percent above the same period in 2007 due primarily to staff additions associated with planned business growth.
Occupancy of premises, net—For the first three months of 2008, occupancy expense increased $27,000 or 8 percent above the same period in 2007 due primarily to the addition of the Hunt Valley office in January 2008 and increased energy costs.
Marketing and advertising—For the first three months of 2008, marketing expense was flat compared to the prior period due to timing. Planned marketing and advertising expense for the year 2008, to promote products and franchise expansion, is expected to exceed 2007.
Other—For the first three months of 2008, other expense decreased $13,000 or 1 percent below the same period in 2007. The first quarter of 2007 included an infrequent $185,000 loan prepayment penalty expense on the early pay-down of a $2 million Federal Home Loan Bank advance. The Corporation paid down the advance, which had an above market interest rate, to reduce interest expense in future periods. On a comparable basis, other expense for the first quarter of 2008 increased $172,000 or 22 percent above 2007. The increase was due in part to an increase in carrying costs pertaining to other real estate owned (recovery of these costs is anticipated when the property is ultimately sold), increased servicing costs, a fee assessment imposed on all banks by the FDIC, and a nonrecurring $30,000 contribution to a local municipality in lieu of public improvements.
Income taxes
The provision for income tax was $542,000 for the current three-month period, compared to $640,000 for the same period in 2007. The $98,000 or 15 percent decrease in the tax provision was the result of a 14 percent decrease in pretax income. Codorus Valley’s effective federal income tax rate was 25 percent and 26 percent, respectively, for quarters ended March 31, 2008, and 2007. The marginal federal income tax rate was 34 percent for both periods.
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Investment securities
On March 31, 2008, the fair value of the securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $81 million, which was approximately the same as for year-end 2007. On March 31, 2008, the available-for-sale portfolio was comprised of the following securities mix based on amortized cost: tax-exempt municipal bonds (40%), US agency mortgage-backed bonds (35%), US agency bonds (23%) and restricted stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank and Atlantic Central Bankers Bank (2%).
On March 31, 2008, the securities held-to-maturity portfolio, recorded at amortized cost, was approximately $2.4 million, compared to approximately $3.4 million for year-end 2007. The decrease in the portfolio was the result of a $1 million (par) security being called by the issuer exercising its call option. The held-to-maturity portfolio for both periods consisted of fixed rate, junior subordinated debt instruments issued by commercial bank holding companies with call provisions that mature in years 2026-2028. In the period ahead, it is probable that more of these high yielding investments will be called by issuers based on the current level of market interest rates. If such calls occur, the calls will be at a premium; however, reinvestment yields are expected to be significantly lower.

Loans
On March 31, 2008, total loans were $463 million, an increase of $17 million or 4 percent above year-end 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in commercial loans. The average yield (tax-equivalent basis) earned on total loans was 7.43 percent for the first quarter of 2008, compared to 7.89 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007 and 7.80 percent for the first quarter of 2007. The decline in loan yields, particularly floating rate loans, reflected a series of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve that began in September 2007.
Deposits
On March 31, 2008, total deposits were approximately $525 million, an increase of $13 million or 2.5 percent above year-end 2007. The increase in deposits, as shown in Note 3—Deposits, occurred primarily in time deposits and secondarily in demand deposits. In contrast, money market deposit balances continued to decrease during the current quarter in response to decreasing short-term market interest rates influenced by Federal Reserve monetary policy. To increase return, some money market customers re-allocated their funds out of money market deposits into time deposits. Others chose to re-invest in annuity products with guaranteed returns under an account management arrangement with Codorus Valley Financial Advisors. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was 3.06 percent for the first quarter of 2008, compared to 3.47 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007 and 3.87 percent for the first quarter of 2007.
Long-term debt
On March 31, 2008, long-term debt totaled $30 million, which was substantially the same amount as year-end 2007. A listing of outstanding long-term debt obligations is provided in Note 4—Long-term Debt.
Shareholders’ equity and capital adequacy
Shareholders’ equity or capital enables Codorus Valley to maintain asset growth and absorb losses. Total shareholders’ equity was approximately $49.7 million on March 31, 2008, an increase of $1.3 million, or approximately 3 percent above December 31, 2007. The increase was caused primarily by increases in earnings and unrealized gains (net of taxes) on securities available-for-sale, the result of declining market interest rates. As described more fully under Recent Accounting Pronouncements within Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies, the Corporation adopted EITF Issue No. 06-4 as a cumulative-effect adjustment on January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the Corporation recognized a one time charge to retained earnings of $703,000.
On April 8, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.14 per common share ($.133 adjusted), payable on or before May 13, 2008, to shareholders of record April 22, 2008. This follows a $.14 per share ($.133 adjusted) cash dividend paid in February. Also on April 8, 2008, the Board declared a 5 percent stock dividend payable on or before June 12, 2008, to shareholders of record April 22, 2008. Distribution of the stock dividend will result in the issuance of approximately 187,225 common shares, as reflected in the financial statements.
Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators that involve quantitative guidelines and qualitative judgments. Quantitative measures established by regulators pertain to minimum capital ratios, as set forth in Note 5—Regulatory Matters, to the financial statements. Management believes that Codorus Valley and PeoplesBank were well capitalized on March 31, 2008, based on FDIC capital guidelines.

On March 31, 2008, nonaccrual loans consisted of collateralized business and mortgage loans, and consumer loans. The Corporation recognizes interest income on a cash basis for nonaccrual loans. On March 31, 2008, the nonaccrual loan portfolio was $8,176,000, a $1,235,000 decrease compared to December 31, 2007. During the current quarter, a $3,298,000 nonaccrual business loan was reclassified to accrual status. The loan was brought current by the borrower and an escrow was established with the borrower’s funds to keep it current for the next twelve months. Management believes that the real estate is situated in a prime location for residential development and expects to ultimately recover all amounts due. This positive news was offset to some degree by the addition of a $2,155,000 business loan to nonaccrual loans. In management’s judgment, this loan is adequately collateralized by real estate based on a current independent appraisal. On March 31, 2008, the nonaccrual loans portfolio was comprised of 13 unrelated accounts ranging in size from $2,000 to $4,658,000. Collection efforts, including modification of contractual terms for individual accounts based on prevailing market conditions and liquidation of collateral asset are being employed to maximize recovery.
On March 31, 2008, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more totaled $1,822,000. Of the total, $1,437,000 pertains to a matured business loan whose principal balance was past due. Administrative delays in extending the maturity date temporarily resulted in the past due designation. The borrower is credit worthy and has routinely made all interest payments timely.
On March 31, 2008, foreclosed real estate, net of allowance, was $403,000 the same as year-end 2007. The amount for both periods represents one property that management is actively trying to sell.

Allowance for loan losses
The following table shows the allowance was $3,592,000 or .78 percent of total loans on March 31, 2008, compared to $3,046,000 or .71 percent of total loans on March 31, 2007. The $546,000 or 18 percent increase in the allowance was based on management’s estimate of the amount necessary to bring the allowance to a level reflective of risk in the portfolio and loan growth. Management also considered macro-economic factors that could adversely affect the ability of PeoplesBank’s loan clients to repay their loans, including a general economic slowdown or recession, increases in food and energy costs, rising unemployment and continued downturn in the real estate market. Based on a recent evaluation of probable loan losses in the current portfolio, management believes that the allowance was adequate to support losses inherent in the loan portfolio on March 31, 2008.

Liquidity
At March 31, 2008, management believes that liquidity was more than adequate based on the level of overnight investment, the potential liquidation of an $81 million portfolio of available-for-sale securities, valued at March 31, 2008, and available credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLBP). On December 31, 2007, the latest available date, available funding from the FHLBP was approximately $111 million. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, included in this report, present the changes in cash from operating, investing and financing activities. Codorus Valley’s loan-to-deposit ratio, which is used as a broad measure of liquidity, was approximately 88.2 percent on March 31, 2008, compared to 87.1 percent on December 31, 2007.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Codorus Valley’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist primarily of commitments to grant new loans, unfunded commitments under existing loan facilities, and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Unused commitments on March 31, 2008, totaled $156,235,000 and consisted of $131,760,000 in unfunded commitments under existing loan facilities, $21,113,000 to grant new loans and $3,362,000 in letters of credit. Due to fixed maturity dates and specified conditions within these instruments, many commitments will expire without being drawn upon. Management believes that amounts actually drawn upon can be funded in the normal course of operations and therefore do not present a significant liquidity risk to Codorus Valley.
Contractual Obligations
Codorus Valley has various long-term contractual obligations outstanding at March 31, 2008, including long-term debt, time deposits and obligations under capital and operating leases, which were reported in Table 13 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2007. A comparative schedule of deposits, which includes time deposits, is provided in Note 3 of this Form 10-Q report. A comparative schedule of long-term debt is provided in Note 4.
Market risk management
In the normal course of conducting business, Codorus Valley is exposed to market risk, principally interest rate risk, through the operations of its banking subsidiary. Interest rate risk arises from market driven fluctuations in interest rates, which may affect cash flows, income, expense and values of financial instruments. An asset-liability management committee comprised of members of management manages interest rate risk. Interest rate forecasts are supplied by a national forecasting service and integrated into the asset-liability model.
Codorus Valley performed financial simulations on its balance sheet for March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 to determine its sensitivity to market interest rate risk. The results of the point-in-time analyses are shown in Table 5—Interest Rate Sensitivity. On March 31, 2008, the asset-liability management model portrayed a balance sheet that was slightly asset sensitive. Asset sensitivity means that loans and investments are likely to re-price to a greater and faster degree then the deposits and debt that fund them. This asset-liability position suggests that net income may increase if market interest rates increase significantly. Conversely, net income would be expected to decrease if short-term market interest rates decrease significantly. The change in balance sheet sensitivity since year-end 2007 resulted primarily from a decrease in the volume of floating rate money market and time deposits. Due to a sharp decrease in short-term market interest rates, engineered by the Federal Reserve Bank since September 2007 to stimulate the US economy, many PeoplesBank depositors sought higher returns by transferring their floating rate money market and time deposits into fixed rate time deposits. Other clients chose to transfer their floating rate deposit balances off the Bank’s balance sheet to subsidiary Codorus Valley Financial Advisors for investment in annuities and other investment products. These shifts reduced the re-pricing sensitivity of liabilities. For March 31, 2008, the low forecasted interest rate scenario was ramped down 125 basis points instead of the usual 200 basis points, due to the prevailing low level of market interest rates. This change in forecasting presumes a 4 percent floor for the prime interest rate (a key driver rate within the model), the historical low for this rate.
At March 31, 2008, the most likely interest rate scenario provided by the forecasting service suggests that a decrease in net interest income would result in a 9.6 percent decrease in net income over the next year. This hypothetical scenario, unlike the high and low scenarios, includes non-parallel shifts in the driver rates. It presumes that the prime and target federal funds rates will decline 75 basis points over the first three months and then remain flat for the remaining nine months of the twelve month forecast period. In contrast, the short

end of the US treasury curve (a key driver rate) is predicted to remain relatively flat for the full annual period. This suggests that yields on prime-based loans would fall faster than rates on deposits, particularly money markets and short-term CDs, which are tied to the short end of the US treasury curve for interest rate risk modeling purposes.
Measurement of interest rate risk requires many assumptions. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net income. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to many factors including: timing of cash flows, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, customer behavior, changes in market conditions, and management strategies. A detailed discussion of market interest rate risk is provided in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Refer to the section entitled “Market risk management” within Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 22 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon the evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s 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. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, that the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs, and inherent limitations that may not prevent fraud, particularly by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control.
There has been no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
