CH A I R MAN’S MESSAGE 

TO OUR  SHAREHOLDERS 
ANT) CUSTOMERS: 

This  section  of  the  annual  report  has  long  been  reserved  for  the  letter  from  thc  Company’s  President  and  Chief 
Executive  OIliccr  Kodger  W.  Platt.  After  forty-two  years  of  employment  with  thc  Cortland  Savings  and  Banking 
Company,  over  twcnty-seven  a s   Company  President  and  Chicf  Executive  OiIiccr,  Rodger  W.  Platt  complcted  his 
service with  the Company retiring  November  1, 2005. 

During  his  tenurc,  the  Company  has  experienced  many  successes  and  h:ts  led  the  charge  through  ii  numbcr  of 
challenging periods. As Bank President, Rodger hits committcd hi triself to the Company, its employees, customers and 
shareholders. I n  fact, niany  employccs, customers  and  sharcholders alike  have  known  Rodger to  be  much  more  than 
the Company President - he has been  a mentor to some, a counselor  to othcrs and a friend to many. On behalf of  tlie 
directors, officers and employees of the Company and thc banking subsidiary, wc congratulate Rodger on his retirement 
and  wish  him  good health  and  prosperity as he  begins a  new  chapter in  his  lifc. 

shall  go  on  itnd  the  business  at  hand  continucs.  As  such,  a  new  chapter  in  the 
As  is  spoken  many  times -Me 
Company’s a n n d s  begins. With  this Chairman’s letter I :im  at the beginning of my tcrm  as Chairman of  the  Board.  1 
would like to take this opportunity to thank tlie full bourd  for thcir vote of coniidencc in nominating me to this position. 

Joining  me  in  thc  transition  is  a  new  Bank  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer.  After  eighteen  years  as  the 
Company’s Chicf  Financial Oiliczr, Treasurer and Corporatc Secretary, the Board of  Directors appointed Lawrence A. 
Fantauzzi as its new  President and Chief Executive Officer. As Board Chairman, I  am looking forward to working with 
Mr.  Pantauzzi  its  he  takcs  on  his  new  responsibilities  with  the  Company.  Having had  the  opportunity  to  work  with 
Larry as  ;I fellow  board  tnemher over the  last  several years,  I  c:in  assure  our customers  and  shareholders that  he will 
approach  the responsibilities  and challenges  hc  faces with  the  s m c  dcdication and  conimitmcnt as  Rodger did. 

Joining Mr. Pantauui on the nianagetnent team is James M .  Gasior, a Ccrtificd Public Accountant, who has been with 
the  Company  since  1990, most  recently  8 s   Senior  Vice  President  and  Chicf  Lending  Oilicer.  Mr.  Gasior  will  be 
assuming the responsibilities of  Chief Financial  Oilicer  and Corporate Secrctary and has been appointed by  the Board 
of  Directors  to fill  the Director vacancy created  by  Mr.  Platt’s  retirement. 

One of  the immcdiate challenges that the Company  fxcs is the challenge of  managing  the net  intercst  margin. The 
Company’s  net interest margin, which is the diffcrcnce between  what it carns on its loans and invcstments and what it 
pays for  its deposits  and  borrowings, iinprovcd  slightly in  the  past  ycar  increasing  from  3.74% to 3.83%.  Despite tlic 
improvement,  the  Company’s  margins  continue  to  be  nirected  by  short  term  and  long  tcrm  interest  rate  pricing 
decisions of  the Federal Rcscrve Board, the aggressive pricing strategics among our competitors and the continued lag 
in  cconomic recovery  throughout  the geogrwphic areas of  Norlheast  Ohio  in  which  our  branches operate. 

Another  challcnge  that  the  Compmy  continues  to  Lice  is  an  increase  in  compliance  requirements  associated  with 
provisions of  thc Sarhanes-Oxley Act.  Although there  has been  recent  discussion that the coriipliance requircments of 
Sarbanes-Oxley  may  be  limited  or  climinated  for  sinaller  public  companies in  the  future,  addiiional  expcnscs  were 
recorded in 2005 :is  ;I  result of an incrcasc in professional servicc fees to perform thc compliance exitmin:itions.  Despite 
these  incrcxses,  non-interest  cxpcnses have  been  particularly  well controlled  during  the last  several years.  Excluding 
certain  management  transition  costs,  non-interest  cxpenses  increased  by  lcss than  1.00% in  2005. Over the  last  iive 
years  non-interest  expcnscs  increased  at  a  compounded annual growth  rate  of  less  than  1.50%. 

The Company’s  asset  quality  mcasures  remain  in  a  rangc  that  management  considers  acceptable.  Howcver,  adverse 
trends in delinquency, foreclosure and bankruptcies have impacted the Company’s loan portfolio. Additional  provisions 
of $545,000 wcrc made to the allowance for loan losses to rcflect management’s evaluation of  speciiic portfolio risks and 
probable  loss expcrience on existing crcdits  in  the  months ahead.  The provisions, which  are charged  against  income, 
represent  an increase of  $130,000 ovcr the previous year. Thc allowance now  stands at $2.1 68 million or  1.15%  of total 
loans. Prior to the charge oil’of scvcral problem credits in 2005, the allowance had been $2.629 million or  I .37% of total 
loans in 2004. 

Net Incomc for 2005 WBS  $4.334  million or $1.00 pcr share. The Compmy c:irned  $4.843 million or $ 1 .   I3 per share in 
2004. Return  on  average  assets  was 0.98% and  return  on  average equity  was  8.73%. 

As of  Dcccmher  31, 2005 tolit1 
decrcascd ycar-over-year by  $3.6 million  or  I  .9% whilc  deposits increased by  $5.5  million  or  1.6%. 

ets are $459 million as compared  to $446 million  at  Deccmhcr 31, 2004. Total loans 

Total  sliareholdcrs'  cquity  :it  December  31,  2005  is  $48.3  million,  which  is  below  the  $49.4  million  recorded  at 
December  31, 2004. This decrease has primarily resulted from the $0.85 per share cash  dividcnds, the $0.22 per share 
special dividend  and thc 3%  stock dividend. 

The ovcrall oullook 01  the local  economy,  the  compression  of  the interest  margin, increases in  employee healthcare 
costs and other opcrational issues were considered as factors whcn preparing our annual performance  budgets. As such, 
the actual 2005 operating rcsults were not  signilicantly different  from  the expectations established at tlic  bcginning  ol' 
the year.  Many of  tlicsc same kictors will continue to att'ect our opcrating results in 2006.  Faced with  the challenge of 
addressing  thcsc  and  other  issues,  the  Board  of  Directors  and  tlic  Company's  management  tcain  is,  nonetheless, 
committcd to improving  upon  the profit  results  realizcd  in  2005. 

As planning for 200h  begins, munagenient  and the board  havc  hcgun  to rocus  on  implementing short tcriii  and  loi~g 
term  strategic initiativcs. Eventually these initiatives will  be incorporated into a comprehensive corporatc strategic plan. 
Integral to thc plan will  be  specihc initiatives to grow loan and dcposit portfolios, maximize core earnings :ind  enhance 
shareholder valuc. 

Arnong  the  strategic  initiatives  itre  product  enhancement  stratcgics  targeting  loan  and  deposit growth.  In  regard  to 
product  enhanccmcnts in the lending  area, a  10 year fixed rate commercial  rcal estate product designed  to attract new 
customers and to build  portfolio balances is currently being marketed through  tlic subsidiary  bank.  Initial  lender ficld 
reports indicate that thcrc is considerable interest  in this product. The rnortgagc  :\rea of  the bank will  also continuc to 
promote  the Wclcomc  Honic program,  a  down payment  assistance program  offcred  through  the Federal  Homc  L o m  
Rank  of  Cincinnati.  Additional  enhancements  to  loan  products  will  also  be  considered  for  thc  homc  cquity  and 
consumcr loan  areas. 

In terms of  branching  strategies, inanrtgement and the board arc pcrfnrming  an assessment  of each branching  location. 
For  some  branch  locations,  tangible  improvements  are  hcing  made  to  existing  hcilities  so  that  thc  offices  are 
aesthetically appcaling and promote  an invitation to hank with the Cortland Swings and Banking Company.  For other 
branch  localions,  construction  of  more  niodcrn  facilities is being  considered. Finally,  opportunities to expand  to new 
communities is also  under  consideration. 

Cash  dividcnds,  as adjusted  to give retroactive eH*ect to the 3% stock  dividend, or $1.07 per share in  2005 rcpresents a 
5.26% yicld.  In 2004, cash dividends, again  adjusted to givc rctroactive eKect to the 3%  stock dividcnd,  were $1.04 per 
share, representing a 4.45% yield, Through  thc ycars, shareholder value has been  enhanccd through  fiivorable dividend 
payouts including a  special dividend paid  in each of  the lasl  12 years. Although  the spccial dividend w ~ s  never intended 
to  be  B  pernianent  dividend,  it  has  hccome  popular  with  shareholders,  nonetheless.  Although  dividends  for  future 
periods  will  obviously be  affected hy company performance, we anticipate  that  the dividends  paid  to our shareholders 
will be among soiiie of the better payouts for banks in our area. And  of  course, to add v:iluc,  shareholders will continue 
to  have  the option  to have their  dividends  automatically  reinvested  in  the common stock of  the Company. 

Whether the objective hc to improvc  products, service  or shareholder value, management  and  the hoard will  continuc 
to evaluate and implcmcnt  those initiatives that meet the short term  and long tcrm performance goals of  the Company. 
It  is our intent to dcvclop  a comprehensive  strategic plan  which  dcfincs the Company's mission  as a community bank 
and which  will  lead  to prosperity  in  2006 and for ycars to come. On behalf  ol' the Board of  Dircctors, I thank you  for 
your  continued conGdence and support. 

Sincerely, 

Karl R.  Mahan 
Chairman

REPORT ON  MANAGEMENT’S  ASSESSMENT OF 
INTERNAL CONTROL  OVER  FINANCIAL REPORTING 

Cortland  Bancorp  is  responsible  for  the  prepara- 
tion,  integrity, and  fair presentation  of  the consoli- 
dated financial  statements included  in  this  annual 
report.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  and 
notes  included  in  this  annual  report  have  bccn 
prepared  in  conformity with  United  States gener- 
ally accepted accounting principles and necessarily 
include  some  amounts that  are based  on  manage- 
ment’s  best  estimates and judgments. 

We,  as  management  of  Cortland  Bancorp,  are 
responsible  lor establishing  and  maintaining cffcc- 
live internal  control over financial  reporting  that is 
designed  to produce rcliablc financial statements in 
conl‘ormity with  United  States gcncrally  accepted 
accounting principles.  The system  of  internal  con- 
trol  over  financial  reporting  ;is  it  relates  to  the 
financial  statements  is  evaluated  for  effectiveness 
by  management  and tested  for reliability through a 
program  of  internal  audits.  Actions  are  taken  to 
correct polen tial  deficiencies as they  are identified. 
Any system of  internal  control, no matter how  well 
designed,  has  inherent  limitations,  including  the 
possibility  that  ;t  control  can  be  circumvented  or 
overridden  and misstatements due to error or fraud 
may  occur  and  not  be  detected.  Also,  because  of 
changes  in  conditions,  internal  control  eff’ective- 
ness  may  vary  over  time.  Accordingly,  even  an 
efiective  system  of  internal  control  will  provide 
only  reasonable  assurance with  respect  to financial 
statement  preparation. 

Management  assessed  the  Company’s  system  of 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  ol‘ 
December  31,  2005,  in  relation  to  criteria  for 
eflective internal  control ovcr financial reporting  as 
described  in  Intcrnul  Control-Integrated  Frume- 
work,  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organization of  the Treadway Commission. Based 
on this assessment, management concludes that, as 
of  December  3 I ,   2005, its  system  of  internal  con- 
trol  over  financial  reporting  is effective  and  meets 
the  criteria  of  the 
lnlernd  Control-lnlqruted 
F’runzeworX.  Packer  Thomas,  independent  regis- 
tered public accounting firm, has issued an  attesta- 
tion  report  on  management’s  assessment  of  the

financial 
reporting.

LNDEPENDENT  RGGTSTEKED PUBLTC  ACCOUNTING  FIRM 

SHAREHOLDERS AND BOAKD OF DIRECTOR3 
Cort 1 and B ancorp 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidatcd  bal- 
ance sheets of Cortland  Bancorp and  subsidirirics 21s  of 
December  31,  2005 and  2004,  and  the related  consoli- 
dated  statements  of  income,  stockholders’  equity,  and 
cash ilows for each of  the ycars in the three-ycar period 
cnded December 31, 2005. We  also  have audited  inan- 
agement’s  assessment,  included  in  the  accompanying 
Report  on  Management’s  hssesstncnt  of  Internal Con- 
trol  Over  Financial  Reporting,  that  Cortland  Bancorp 
and  subsidiaries  maintained  eKectivc  internal  control 
ovcr financial reporting  as of  December 3 I ,   2005, based 
on  criteria  established  in  lnlernnl  Control-lntci~ri~lcil 
Frnrneuwrk  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations  01 the  Treadway Commission  (COSO) . 
Cortland  Kancorp’s management is responsible for these 
financial  statemcnts, for  maintaining  effective  internal 
control ovcr financial reporting, and for its asscssmcnt of 
the erectivcncss of internal control over financial rcport- 
ing. Our responsibility is  to exprcss an  opinion on  thcsc 
financial  slatemcnts, an  opinion  on  rnanagement’s  as- 
sessment,  and  an  opinion  on  the  cffcctiveness  of  the 
company’s internal control over financial rcporting based 
on  our audits. 

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  stan- 
dards  of  thc  Public  Company  Accounting  Ovcrsight 
Board  (United  States). Those standards rcquire that we 
plan  and perform  thc audits  to obtain  rcasonable  assur- 
ancc about whether  thc financial statemcnts are free or 
matcrial  inisstatement  and  whether  effcctive  internal 
control  over  financial  rcporting  was  maintained  in  all 
matcrial  respects.  Our  audit  of  Iinancial  statements 
included cxamining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosurcs  in  the financial statements, 
assessing thc  accounting principles  used  and  significant 
estimates  made  by  managemcnt,  and  evaluating  the 
over:ill  financial  statement  presentation.  Our  audit  of 
intcrnal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  ob- 
taining  an  understanding  of  internal  control  over finan- 
cial  rcporting,  evaluating  management’s  assessment, 
testing  and  evaluating  thc  design  and  opcrating  eff‘ec- 
tivencss  of  internal  control,  and  performing  such  other 
procedurcs  as  WG  considercd  necessary  in  thc  circum- 
stances. Wc believe thal our audits provide a rcasonahle 
b  .’ . 
iisis  for  our opinions. 

A company’s internal control over Iinancial reporting is a 
process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  re- 

garding  the  rcliahility  of  financial  reporting  and  thc 
preparation of  financial stdteinents for external purposes 
in  accordmce with  gcnerally  accepted  accounting prin- 
ciples.  A  company’s  internal  control  ovcr  financial  re- 
porting  includes  thosc  policies  and  proccdures  that 
( 1 )   pertain  to  the  inaintcnance  of  records  that,  in 
reasonable  detdil, accuratcly and fairly reflect the trans- 
actions  and  dispositions  of  the  asscts  of  the  company; 
( 2 )  provide  reasonable  assurancc  that  transactions  are 
recordcd as necessary  to  pcrtnit  preparation  of  financial 
statemcntq  in  accordunce  with  generally  acceptcd  ac- 
counting  principles,  and  that  recciptq  and  expenditurcs 
of  the company are being made only in accordance with 
authoriLutions of managetnent and directors of  the com- 
pany;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regmiling 
prevention  or  timcly  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisi- 
tion,  use,  or  disposition  of  the  company’q assets  that 
could have  :I  material effect on  the financial statements. 

B e c i ~ s e  or its inhcrent  limitations, intcrnal  control over 
financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstate- 
ments.  Also,  projections  of any  evaluation  of  ett‘ective- 
ness to future periods arc subject to the risk that controls 
may  become  inadequatc  because  of  changes  i n   condi- 
tions, or that the degree of  compliance with  ihc policies 
or  procedures  may  deteriorate. 

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statcrnents  relerred  to 
above prcsent fairly, in all rn:itcrial  respects, the cortqoli- 
dated financial position of  Cortland  Bancorp and subsid- 
iaries  as  of  December  31,  2005  and  2004,  and  the 
consolidatcd  results  of  its  operations  and its cash  flowq 
for  each  of  the  years  in  the  thrcc-year  period  endcd 
December 3 I ,  2005 in  conformity with accounting prin- 
ciples  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of 
America.  Also,  in  our  opinion,  managernent’s 
rncnt that Cortlmd  Bancorp and subsidiarics  rnaintined 
effective internd  control  over  linancial  reporting  its  of

C'ORTLAND  BANCORP  AND  SUBSIDIARIES 

Years  ended  December 3 1 ,  2005, 2004  and  2003 

NOTE  1 - SUMMARY  OF SIGNIFICANT ACX'OUNTING  POLICIES 
Principles of  Consolidation:  The consolidated financial  statements include  the accounts  of  Cortland  Bancorp 
(the Coinpimy)  and  its wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Cortland Savings  and  Banking  Company  (the Bank)  and 
New  Resources  Leasing  Co. All  significant  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated. 

lndustry Segment  Information:  The Company and its subsidiaries operate in  the  domestic  banking  industry 
which  accounts  for substantially all  of the  Company's  assets, revenues and  operating income. The Company, 
through  its subsidiary  bank, grants residential,  consumer,  and  comincrcial  loans and offers a variety of  saving 
plans  to customers  located  primarily  in  the  Northeastern  Ohio and Western  Pennsylvania  area. 
Use of  Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conforinity  with generally accepled accounting 
principlcs  requires  management  to  make  estimates and  assumptions  that  all'cct  the  reported  amounts  of 
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent ussets and liabilities at the date of  the financial statements 
and  the  reported  amounts of  revenue  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  difier 
from those estimates. 
Cash Flow:  Cash and cash  equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. 
Generally, federal  funds are purchased  and sold for one-day  pcriods. Thc Company reports net  cash  flows for 
customer loan  transactions,  deposit  transactions  and  deposits  made  with  other financial institutions. 
The Company paid  interest  of  $8,695,000,  $8, I2 1,000, and  $8,083,000 in  2005, 2004 and  2003,  respectively. 
Cash paid  for  income  taxes  was  $993,000  in  2005,  $1,005,000  in  2004  and  $1,320,000  in  2003. Transfers  of 
loans  to other  real  estate were,  $107,000  in 2005,  $196,000 in  2003  and  none  in  2004. 
Investment  Securities:  Investments in  debt  and  equity  securities  arc classified  ;is  held  to maturity,  trading 
or  available  for  sale.  Securities  classified  as held  to  maturity  are  thosc  that  management  has the  positive 
intent  and  ability to  hold  to maturity.  Securities  classified  as available  for sale are those that could  be  sold 
for  liquidity,  investment  management,  or  similar  reasons,  even  though  management  has  no  present 
intentions  to  do so. 

Securilics  hcld  to  maturity  are  stated  at  cost,  adjusted  for  amortiLation  of  premiums  and  accretion  of 
discounts, with  such  arnortization  or accretion  included  in  interest  income. Securities  available for sale are 
carried  at  fair  value  with  u n r e a l i d  gains  and  losses  recorded  as  a  separate  component  of  shareholders' 
equity, net  of tax effects. Realiyed  gains or losses on dispositions are based  on  net proceeds  and the adjusted 
carrying  amount of  securities sold,  using the specific identification  rnethod.  Interest on  securities is accrued 
and  credited  to  operations  based  on  the  principal  balance  Outstanding,  adjusted  for  amortiLation  of 
premiums and  accretion  of  discounts. 
Unrealiyed  losses on  corporate bonds  have  not  been  recognized  into  income.  Management  has  the  intent 
and  ability  to  hold  these  securities  for  the foreseeable  future. The fair  value  is  expected  to  recover  as the 
bonds approach  their maturity date and/or market conditions  become more favorable to the bonds'  intrinsic 
value. 

Trading Securities:  Trading securities are principally hcld  with the intention  of  selling  in the near term  and 
are  carried  at  market  value.  Realized  and  unrealiLcd  gains  and  losses  on  trading  account  securities  are 
recognized  in  the Statement of  Income as they  occur. The Company did  not  hold  any trading  securities at 
December  3 1,  2005  or 2004.  During 2003, trading  activity produced purchases of  $23,680,000 and  sales of 
$23,945,000, resulting  in  a  net  gain  of  $265,000. There was  no trading  activity  in  2005  or  2004. 
Loans:  Loans  are  stated  at  the  principal  amount  outstanding net  of  the  unamortiLcd  biilancc  of  dclcrred 
loan  origination  fees  and costs.  Deferred  loan  origination  fees  and  costs are amortized  as  an  adjustment to 
the  related  loan  yield  over  the  contractual  life  using  the  level  yield  method.  Interest  income  on  loans  is 
accrued over the term  of  the loans based on  the amount of  principal  outstanding. The accrual  of  interest  is

NOTE  1 -  SUMMARY 01; SIC~NIFTC‘ANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued) 
discontinued on  ;1  loan  when  management determines that the collection of  interest  is doubtful. Generally a 
loan  is  placed  on  nonaccrual  status  once  the  borrower  is  90  days  past  due  on  payments,  or  whenever 
suficient information  is  received  to question the collectability  of  the  loan  or any  time lcgal  proceedings  are 
initiated involving a  loan.  Interest  income accrued up to lhc date a  loan  is placed  on  nonaccrual is reversed 
through interest  income. Cash  payments  received  while  a  loan  is  classified  as nonaccrual are recorded as a 
reduction  to  principal  or  reported  ;is  interest  income  according  lo  management’s  judgmcnt  as  to  the 
collectibility  of  principal.  A  loan  is  returned  to accrual  status when  either all  of  the principal  and  interest 
amounts  contractually  due  are  brought  current  and  future  payments  are,  in  management’s  judgment, 
collectable,  or  when  it  olherwise  becomes  well  secured  and  in  the  process  of  colleclion.  When  a  loan  is 
charged-oll;  any  interest  accrued  but  not  collected  on  the  loan  is  charged  against  earnings. 

Loans Held  for  Sale:  The Company  originates  certain  residential  mortgage  loans for sale in the secondary 
mortgage loan  market. For the majority of  loan  sales, the  Company  concurrently sells the rights  to service 
the related  loans. In  addition, the  Company may periodically idenlily  other loans which  may be sold. These 
loans are  classified  as  loans  hcld  for  sale,  and  carried,  in  the  aggregate,  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  estimated 
market  value  based  on  secondary  market  priccs.  To  mitigate  interest  rate  risk,  the  Coiiipany may  obtain 
fixed  commitments  to  sell  such  loans  at  the  time  loans  are  originated  or  identified  as being  held  for  sale. 
Such a commitment  would  be  referred  lo as ;I  derivative  loan  commitment if  the loan  that will  result  from 
exercise  of  the commitment  will  be  held  for  sale upon  funding  under  Statement of  Financial  Accounting 
Standards  No.  133  (“SFAS  I33”),  Accounting j o r  Dwivative  lnsfruni~nts and  Hedging  Aclivitiex,  as 
amended  by  Stateinenl  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  I49  (“SFAS  149”),  Amendnion/  of 
Statenrcrzt  I33  ori  Derivative  Instrunients  and  H d g i n g  Activities.  No  such  commitments  cxisted  as  of 
December  31,  2005. 

Allowance  for  Loan  Losses  and  Allowance  for  Losses  on  Lending  Related  Commitments:  Because  some 
loans may not be repaid in full, an  allowance for loan losses is recorded.  Increases to the allowance consist of 
provisions  for loan  losses  charged  to expense and  recoveries  of  previously  charged-off  loans.  Keductions to 
the  allowance  result  from  the  charge-off  of  loans  deemed  uncollectable by  management.  Alter  a  loan  is 
charged-off,  collection  efforts  continue  and  future recoveries  may  occur. 

A  loan  is considered  impaired when  it  appears probable  that  all  principal  and  interest  amounts will  not  he 
collected according  to the loan contract. Allowances for loan  losses on impaired loans are determined using 
the  estimated  luture  cash  flows  of  the  loan,  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  the  loan’s  effective 
interest  rate.  Allowances  for  loan  losses  for  impaired  loans  thal  arc  collateral  dependent  are  generally 
determined  bascd  on  the  estimated  fair  value  ol the  underlying  collate~il. Smaller  balance homogeneous 
loans  are  evaluated  for  impairment  in  the  aggregate.  Such  loans  include  one-to-four  family  residential, 
home  equily  and  consumer  loans.  Commercial  loans  and  coinmercial  mortgage  loans  are  evaluated 
individually  for  impairment.  Impaired  loans  are  gcnerally  classified  as  nonaccrual  loans. 

Estimating  the  risk  of  loss  and  the  amount  of  loss on  any  loan  is  necessarily  subjective.  Accordingly,  the 
allowance  is  maintained  by  management  at  a  level  considered  adequate  to  cover  possible  losses  that  are 
currently  anticipated.  Management  evaluates the  portfolio  in  light  of  economic conditions,  changes  in  the 
nature and volume of the portlolio,  industry standards and other relevant  factors. Specific factors considered 
by  management  in  determining  the  amounts  charged  to  operations include  previous  loss  experience;  the 
status  of  past  due  interest  and  principal  payments;  the  qudity  of  financial  inforiiiation  supplied  by 
customers; the cash  flow coverage and trends evidenced  by financial  information  supplied  by customers; thc 
naturc and estimated value of  any collatcral  supporting specific  loan  credits;  risk  classifications determined

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Years ended  December  31,  2005, 2004 and  2003 

NOTE  I  -  SIJMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN‘I’ING  POLITIES  (Continued) 
by  the  Company’s  loan  review  systems  or  as  the  result  of  rcgulatory  examination  process;  and  general 
in  the  lending  area  of  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiary.  Key  risk  factors  and 
economic  conditions 
assumptions  are  dynamically  updated  to  reflect  actual  experience  and  changing  circumstances.  While 
management  may  periodically  allocate  portions  of  the  allowancc  for  specific  problem  loans,  the  entire 
allowance  is  available  for  any  charge-olTs  that  occur. 

The Company maintains an allowance  for losses on unfunded  commercial lending commitments to provide 
for the risk of  loss inherent in  these arrangements. The allowance  is  computed using  a  methodology  similar 
to  that  used  to  determine  the  allowancc  for  loan  losses.  This  allowance  is  reported  as  a  liability  on  the 
balance  slicet  within  accrued  expenses  and  other  liabilities,  while  the  corresponding  provision  for  these 
losses  is  recorded  as a  component  of  other expense. 

Certain asset-specific loans are evaluatcd  individually for impairment, based on  management’s best estimate 
of  discounted  cash repayments and  the anticipated  proceeds  from  liquidating  collateral.  The actual timing 
and amount of  repayments and the ultimate r e a b a b l e  value ol the collateral may d i l k r  from managcmcnt’s 
estimatcs. 

The expected  loss for certain other commercial credits utili7es internal risk ratings. These loss estimates arc 
sensitive to changes in the custoiiier’s risk profile, the reali~ablc value o l  collatcral, othcr risk factors and the 
related  loss experience of  other  credits  ol similar  risk.  Consumer  credits  generally  employ  statistical  loss 
factors, adjusted for other risk indicators, applied to pools of similar loans stratified  by  asset type. These loss 
esliiiiatcs arc  scnsitive to changes  i n   delinquency status and  shifts  in  the  aggregate  risk  profile. 

Premises  and  Equipment:  Premises  and  equipment  are  slated  at  cost  lcss  accuniulatcd  depreciation. 
Depreciation  is  computed  generally  on  the  straight-line  incthod  over  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  the 
various  assets.  Maintenance  and  repairs  are  expensed  and  major improvements  are capitalized. 

Other  Real  Estate:  Real  estate  acquired  through  foreclosure  or  dccd-in-lieu  of  foreclosure  is  included  in 
other  assets.  Such  real  estate  is  carried  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  fair  value  less  estimated  costs  to sell. Any 
reduction  from  the carrying value of  the rclatcd  loan to fair value at the time of acquisition  is  accounted for 
as a  loan loss. Any subscqucnt reduction  in fair  market value  is reflected as a valuation  allowance  through  ;I 
charge  to  income.  Costs  of  significant  property  improvements  are  capitalized,  whereas  costs  relating  to 
holding  and  maintaining  the property  are charged  lo  expcnsc. 

Intangible  Asset:  A  core  deposit  intangible  asset  resulting  from  a  branch  acquisition  is  being  amortized 
over a  IS year period. The intangible  asset, net of  accumulated  amortization, was $171,000 and $208,000 at 
December 3 I ,   2005 and 2004, respectively, and is included  in othcr assets. The annual expense was $37,000 
at  December  31,  2005,  2004  and  2003. The  estimated  aggregate  amortization  expense for  the  next  four 
years  is  $37,000 per  year,  and  $23,000 in  the fifth  year. 

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance:  Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLT”)  represents  life insurance on 
the lives of  certain  Company employccs, officers and directors who have  provided  positive  consent allowing 
the  Company  to  be  the co-beneficiary  of  such  policies.  Since the  Company  is  the  owner  of  the  insurance 
policies,  increases  in  the cash  value  of  the policies,  as well as its  share of  insurance proceeds  received,  are 
recorded  in  other noninterest  income, and are not  subjcct  to income taxes.  The cash value  of  the policies is 
included  in  other assets. The Company  revicws  the  financial  strength  of  the insurance carriers prior  to  the 
purchase  of  BOLT  and  quarterly  thereafter.  The amount of’ BOLI  with  any  individual  carrier  is  limited  to 
IS%  of Tier T  Capital.  The Company has purchased  BOLT  to provide  a  long-term  asset  to offset  long-term 
benefit  liabilities,  while  generating coinpctitive  investment  yields.

ments,  such  as  commitmenls to  make  loans  and  commercial  letters  of  credit,  issued  lo  meet  customer 
financing  needs.  The  face  amount  for  these  items  represents  the  exposure  to  loss,  before  considering 
customer  collateral or  ability to  repay.  Such financial instruments  are recorded  when  they  are funded. 

Reclassifications:  Certain  items  in  the  Iinancial  statements  for  2004  and  2003  have  been  reclassified  to 
conform  to  the 2005  prescntation. 

New  Accounting  Standards:  In  November  2005,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB) 
issued  FASB Staff‘ Position  (FSP)  I  I5-and  124- I ,   “The Mcaning  of Othcr-Than-Temporary  Tmpairinent 
and its Application  to Certain  Investments”. This FSP provides guidance on  when  an invcstment  in  a  debt 
or eyuity  security  should be considered  impaired, when  that  impairment  should  be  considered other-lhan- 
temporary, and  measurement of  the impairment  loss. An investmenl is considered impaired  if  the fair value 
of  the  investment  is  less  than  its  cost.  If,  after  consideration  ol‘  all  available  evidence  to  evaluate  the 
realizable  value  of  the  inveslmcnt,  impairment  is  determined  to  be  othcr-than-temporary,  then  an 
impairment  loss  should  be  recognized  equal  to  the  difference  between  the  investment’s  cost  and  its  fair 
value.  The  guidance  also  clarifies  that  an  impairment  loss  should  be  recognized  no  later  than  when  the 
impairment  is  deerncd  other-than-temporary,  even  if  a  decision  to  sell  has  not  been  made.  This  F S P  
nullifies certain provisions of  Emerging Tssues Task Force  (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other- 
Than-Temporary  Impairment  and  Its  Application  to  Certain  Investments,”  while  retaining  the  disclosure

The  above  table  represents  207  investment  securities  wherc  the  current  value  is  less  than  the  related 
a n l o r l i d  cost. 

The unrealiLed  losses  on  the Bank’s  investment  in  mortgage-backed and relaled  securities were  caused by 
interest rate increases. Accordingly, it is expected that the sccurities would not be settled at a price less than 
the amortized cost o f t h e  Bank’c investment because  the  decline in  market  value  is attributable to changes 
in  interest  rates  and not  credit  quality,  and  because  the Company has  the  ability  and  intent  to hold  those 
investmcnts  until  a  recovery  of  fair  value,  which  may  be  maturity.  The  Bank  does  not  consider  those 
investrncnts  to  be  other than  temporarily  impaired 31 December  31,  2005. 

The Bank’s  unrealized  loss on investments in corporate securities relates to 3 $2,350,000 investment  in  the 
General  Motors  Corporation.  The  unrealiLcd  loss  was  primarily  caused  by  ( a )   a  recent  decrease  in 
profitability  and  profit  forecasts  by  industry  analysts  resulting  from  intense  competitivc  pressure  in  thc 
automotive industry  and  (b)  recent  sector downgrade  by  industry  analysts.  The contractual  terms of  those 
investments  do  not  permit  General  Motors  Corporation  to  settle  the  security  at  a  price  less  than  the

At December 3 I ,   2005, the Bank was required  to maintain aggregate  cash  reserves amounting to $5,290,000 
in  order to  witisfy federal  rcgulatory  requirements. These  amounts do not  earn interest. 

The  Bank  grants  commercial  and  industrial  loans,  commercial  and  residential  mortgages,  and  consumer 
loans  to  customers  in  Northeast  Ohio  and  Western  Pennsylvania.  Although  the  Bank  has  a  diversified 
portfolio,  exposure  to  credit  loss  can  be  adversely  impacted  by  downturns  in  local  economic  and 
employment  conditions.  Approximately  3.31%  of  total  loans  are  unsecured  at  December  3 1,  2005, 
compared  to  2.84%  at  December  3 I ,  2004. 

The  Company  currently  does  not  enter  into  derivative  financial  instruments  including  futures,  forwards, 
interest  rate  risk  swaps,  option  contracts,  or  other  financial  instruments with  similar  characteristics.  The 
Company also does not  participate  in  any partnerships or other special purpose  entities that  might  give rise 
to off-balance  shcct  liabilities. 

The Company, through its subsidiary  bank,  is ;i  party to financial instruments with  ofi-balance sheet risk in 
the  normal  course  of  business  to  meet  the  financing  needs  of  its  customers. These  financial  instruments 
include commitments to extend credit,  standby lcttcrs  of  credit  and financial guarantees. Such  instruments 
involve, to varying degrees elements ol' credit  risk  in  excess of  the amount recognized  on  the balance sheet. 
The contract or notional amounts or thosc instruments reflect  the extent of  involvement the Company has in 
particular  classes  of  financial  instruments. 

In the event of  nonperformance by  the other party, thc Company's  exposure  to credit loss on these financial 
instruments is  represented  by  the  contract  or notional  amount  of  the  instrument.  The Company  uses  the 
same credit policies in making commitments and conditional  obligations  as it docs for instruments recorded 
on the balance  sheet. Thc amount and nature ol'collatcral obtained, if any, is based  on management's  credit 
cvaluation.

Commitments  to extend credit  are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there  is no violation  of any 
condition  established  in  the contract.  Generally these financial  arrangements have fixed expiration  dates or 
other  termination  clauses  and  may  require  payment  of  a  fee.  Standby  letters  of’ credit  are  conditional 
commitments issued  by  the Bank to guarantee the performance of  a customer to a third  party.  Since many 
of  the  commitments  are expected lo expire  without  being  drawn  upon,  the total  commitment  amounts do 
not necessarily represent fu lure cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on 
a case-by-case  basis.  The amount of  collateral  obtained, if deemed necessary by  the Bank upon  extension  of 
credit,  is  based  on  management’s  credit  evaluation  of  the  counterparty.  Collateral  held  varies  but  may 
include  accounts  receivable,  inventory,  properly,  plant  and  equipment  and  income-producing  commercial 
properlies. 

The Company’s subsidiary bank also oNcrs limited  overdraft  protection  as a non-contractual  courtesy which 
is  available  to  individually/joinlly  owned  accounts  in  good  standing  for  personal  or  household  use.  The 
Company  reserves  the  right  lo  discontinue  this  service  without  prior  notice.  The  available  amount  of 
overdraft  protection  on  depositors’  accounts  at  December  3 I ,   2005, totaled  $6, I9 1,000. The total  average 
daily balance  of  overdrafts  used  in 2005 was $1  26,000,  or approximately 2%1 of the total aggregate  overdraft 
protection  available  to  depositors. 

NOTE 9 -  BENEFIT P U N S  

The  Bank  has  a  contributory  defined  contribution  retirement  plan  ( a   401 (k)  plan)  which  covers 
substantially  all  employees.  Total  expense  under  the  plan  was  $224,000  for  2005,  $215,000  for  2004  and 
$211,000  for  2003.  The  Bank  matches  participants’  voluntary  contributions  up  to  5%  of  gross  pay. 
Participants  may  make  voluntary  contributions  to  the  plan  up  to  a  maximum  of  15%  of  gross  wages  or 
$14,000, whichever  is  less. The Bank makes monthly contributions to this plan equal to amounts accrued for 
plan  expense. 

The Bank  and Bancorp  provide  supplemental retirement bencfit plans  for the benefit  of  certain  officers and 
non  officer directors.  The  plan  for  officers  is  designed  to  provide  post-retirement  benefits  to  supplement 
other sources of  rctircment income such  as social security and 401 (k)  benefits. The benefits will bc paid  for 
a period  of  15 years  after  retirement.  The amount of each officer’s benefit  is determined  by  their  salary  at 
retircment as wcll ;IS their other sources of  retirement income. Director Relireinent Agreements provide  for 
a  benefit  of  $10,000 annually on  or  after  the  director  reaches normal  retirement  age, which  is  based  on  a 
combination  of  age  and  years  of  service.  Director  retirement  benefits  are  paid  over  a  period  of  10 years

following  retirement.  The  Bank  and  Bancorp  accrue  the  cost  of  thcse  post-retircment  benefits  during the 
working  careers  o f t h e  oficcrs  and  directors.  At  December  31,  2005,  the  cumulative  expense  accrued  for 
these  b e n c h   totaled  $1,283,000,  with  $ I   ,052,000  accrued  for  the  officers’  plan  and  $231,000  for  the 
directors’  plan. 

Thc Bank  has purchased insurance contracts  on  the lives of  the participants  in the supplemental retirement 
benefit  plan  and  has  named  the  Bank  as the beneficiary.  Similarly,  the  Bancorp has purchascd  insurance 
contracts  on  the  lives  of  the  directors  with  the  Bancorp  ;is  beneficiary.  While  no  direct  linkage  exists 
between  the  supplemental  retirement  benefit  plan  and  the  life  insurance  contracts,  it  is  management’s 
current  intent  that  the  revenuc  from  the  insurance  contracts  be  used  as  ;I  funding  sourcc for  the plan.  At 
December  31,  2005,  the  cumulative  income  accrued  on  these  contracts  totaled  $1,681,000  on  ;1  tax 
cquivalent  basis, with  $1.166,000  accrued on the officers’ contracts  and  $51 5,000 on thc directors’ contracts.

For  purposes  of  the  above  disclosures  of  estimated  fair  value,  the  following  assumptions were  used  as of' 
December  31,  2005  and  2004.  The  estimated  fair  value  for  cash  and  cash  equivalents  is  considered  lo

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY  MATTERS 

The  Company  is  subjecl  to  various  regulatory  capital  requirements  administered  by  the  l'ederal  ban king 
agencics.  Failure  to meet  minimuni  capital  rcquirements  can initiate  certain  actions  by  regulators  that, il' 
undertaken,  could  have  a  direct  material  effect  on  Ihc  Company's  financial  statements.  Undcr  capital 
adequacy guidelines  and  the  regulatory  framework for  prompt  corrective  action,  the  Coinpany  must  meet 
spccific capital guidelines that involve quantitative nieasures of the Company's assets, liabilities, and certain 
off'-balance  sheet  items  as  calculated  under  regulatory  accounting  practices.  The  Company's  capital 
amounts  and  classifications  are  also  subject  to qualitative  judgments  by  lhc regulators  about  componcnts, 
risk weightings  and  other factors. 

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to  ensure  capital  adequacy  rcquire  the  Company  to 
maintain:  ( I )   a minimum  ratio of  4%  both  for total Tier 1 risk-based  capital to risk-weighted  assets and  for 
Tier I  risk-based  capital  to  average  assets,  and  ( 2 )  a  minimum  ratio  of  8% for  total  risk-based  capital  to 
risk-weighted  assets. 

Under  thc  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action,  the  Company  is  categorized  as  well 
capitaliLed,  which  requires  minimum  capital  ratios  of  10% for  total  risk-based  capilal  to  risk-weighted 
assets,  6%  for  Tier  T  risk-based  capital  to  risk-weighted  assets,  and  5%  for  Tier  1  risk-based  capital  to 
average  assets  (also  known  as  the leverage ratio). There are no conditions or events since  the  most  recent 
communication  from regulators  that  management  believes  would  change  the  Company's  category.

MANAGEMENT’S  DISCUSSION  A N D  ANALYSIS 
(In  ihousands of  dollars, except  for per  share  amounts) 

FINANCIAL REVIEW 

The  following  is  management’s  discussion  and 
analysis  of  the  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations of Cortland Bancorp  (the “Company”). 
The discussion  should be read  in conjunction  with 
the Consolidated Financial  Statements and related 
notes and  summary financial  information  included 
elsewhere  in  this annual report. 

NOTE  REGARDING PORWARD-LOOKING 
STATEMENTS 

The  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act  of 
1995 provides  a  “safe  harbor”  for  forward-looking 
statements.  In  addition  to  historical  information, 
certain information includcd  in this discussion and 
other material  filed  or  to be filed by  the Company 
with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission 
(as well as information  included  in oral  statements 
or  other  written  statements  made  or  to  be  made 
by  the  Company)  may  contain  forward-looking 
statements  that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties. 
The  words  “believes,”  “expects,”  “may,”  “will,” 
“should,”  “projects,”  “contemplates,”  “antici- 
pates,”  “forecasts,”  “intends,”  or similar terminol- 
ogy  identify  fonvard-looking  statements.  These 
statements  reflect  management’s  beliefs  and  as- 
sumptions, and  are based on  inlormation  currently 
available  to  management. 

Economic  circumstances,  the  Company’s  opera- 
tions  and  actual  results  could  diflcr  significantly 
from  those discussed  in  any lorward-looking  state- 
ments.  Some  ol  the  factors  that  could  cause  or 
contribute  to  such  differences  are  changes  in  the 
economy  and  interest  rates  either nationally  or  in 
the  Company’s  market  area;  changes  in  customer 
preferenccs  and  consumer  behavior; 
increased 
competitive  pressures  or  changes  in  either  the 
nature  or  composition  of  competitors;  changes  in 
the  legal  and  regulatory  environment;  changes  in 
factors  influcncing  liquidity  such  as  expectations 
regarding the rate of inflation  or deflation, currency 
exchange  rates,  and  other factors influencing mar- 
ket  volatility;  unlorcseen  risks  associated  with 

other  global  economic,  political  and  financial 
factors. 

While  actual results  may  differ  significantly  from 
the  results  discussed  in  the  forward-looking  state- 
ments,  the  Company  undertakes  no  obligation  to 
update publicly  any  lorward-looking  statement for 
if  new  information  becomes 
any  rcason,  even 
available. 

CERTAIN  NON  GAAP  MEASURES 

Ccrtain  financial information has been  determined 
by  methods  other  than  Generally  Accepted  Ac- 
counting Principles  (GAAP) . Specifically, certain 
financial  measures  arc  based  on  core  earnings 
rather  than  net  income.  Core  earnings  exclude 
jncoiiic,  expense,  gains  and  losses  that  either  are 
not  reflective of  ongoing operations or that  are not 
expected  to  reoccur with  any regularity  or rcoccur 
with  a  high  degree  of  uncertainty  and  volatility. 
Such information  may  be  useful  to  both  investors 
and management, and can aid  them  i n  understand- 
ing the Company’s current performance trends and 
financial  condition.  Core  earnings  are  a  supple- 
mental  tool  for  analysis  and  not  a  substitulc for 
GAAP 
from 
ntl  income.  Reconcilialion 
GAAP net  income  to  the  non  GAAP measure  of 
core  earnings  is  shown  as  part  of  management’s 
discussion  and  analysis  of  quarterly  and  year-to- 
date financial  results  of  oper a t’ ions. 

OVERVIEW  and  OUTLOOK 

Net income for 2005 was $4,334. The perforimnce 
represented  a  decrease  ol $509  from  the  $4,843 
earned 
in  2004.  Earnings  per  share  measured 
$1 .OO,  down  $0. I  3  or  11.5% from  $ I .   I3  in  2004. 

Core  earnings,  which  exclude  the  net  gains  on 
loans  sold  and  investment  securities either sold  or 
called,  loss  on  other  real  estate, and  cerlain  other 
non  recurring  items,  were  $4.234  million  in  2005, 
compared  to  the  $4.238  million  earned  in  2004. 
Core  earnings  per  share  were  $0.98  in  2005  and 
$0.99 in  2004,  down  $0.01  or  I  .0%. 

CORTLAND BANCORP  AND SUBS1 DIARIES 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS 
(In thousands  of  dollars, except  Tor  per sharc amounts) 

The  following  is  a  reconciliation  between  corc 
earnings  and  earnings  under  generally  accepted 
accounting principles in the United States (GAAP 
carnings) : 

pcr  share  decreased  by  $0.39 to $1 I  .I 1. The price 
of  the Company’s  common  stock decreased during 
the  year,  trading  in  a  range  between  a  fourth 
quarter  low  of  $17.50  and  a  first  quarter  high  o l  
$22.58, closing  the  year  at  $ I   8.25  per  share.  The 
Company  continued  its  aggressive  cash  dividend 
policy, paying  out  107.0% of 2005 earnings in  cash 
dividends,  compared  to  91.5%  in  the  prior  year. 
Dividends  per  sharc  increased  by  2.9%,  reflecting 
the  effect  of  the annual  stock dividend.

and  services.  The Company’s  integrated  approach 
to  technology  includes  intcrnct  banking  services; 
an  Integraled Voice Response system that provides 
customers  with  remote  access to banking  services; 
platform  products  that  enhance  both  productivity 
and  customer  service;  and  check  and  document- 
imaging  products,  which  further capitalize  on  the 
Company’s Internet banking cash  iiianagemenl in- 
itiative.  Technology  is  a  cote  ingredient  for  the 
Company, enabling it to extend services to custom- 
ers beyond geographic boundaries, while increasing 
employee  productivity.  Thcsc  llcxiblc  and  robust 
product  solutions  also  offer  customers  capabilities 
which  enable  them to streamline  their own  opcra- 
tions  and  to bank  around  the  clock. 

The Company did experience a moderate improve- 
ment in its net  interest  margin  in  2005. The Com- 
pany’s  net  interest  margin,  on  a  fully  taxable 
equivalent  basis,  increased  by  $460,000  from  the 
proceeding  year,  as  the  net  interest  niargin  ratio 
improved  from  3.74% to  3.83%. 

Thus lar however,  the yield  remains  relatively  flat 
as  long-term  rates  have  not  followed  the  same 
course  as  short  term  rates  which  increased  from 
1.00%  to  4.25%  over  the  eighteen  month  period 
ending  December  31,  2005.  As  a  result  of  the 
sustained  flattening  of  the  yield  curve,  the  Com- 
pany anticipates that continued pressure  on  the net 
interest  margin  will  continue  into  2006. 

As  of  December  31,  2005,  the  ratio  of  equity 
capital  to  total  asscts remained  well  above  regula- 
tory  minimums  at  10.51’76, but  down from  11.07% 
a  year  ago,  primarily  due  to  a  decline  in  the 
amount of  the unrealized  gain  in  available-for-sale 
securities.  Risk-based  capital  measured  21.16% 
compared  to  22.07%  at  December  31,  2004.  All 
capital  ratios  continue  to register well  in  excess  of 
required  regulatory  minirnums. 

Kelurn on average cquity was  8.73% in  2005 com- 
pared to 9.72% in 2004, while the return on average 
assets decreased from  1.09% to 0.98%. Book value 

The  Company’s  Internet  based  banking  solution, 
NelTcllcr, delivers  interactive  information  by  pro- 
viding  customcrs  the  following capabilities:  access 
to account  information, statement information  and 
check imaging; on-line bill payment  and electronic 
loan payments; and the ability to remotely  transfer 
money betwccn  accounts and to initiate wire trans- 
fers  and  ACH transactions.  Consumers,  retail  and

BALANCE  SHEET COMPOSITION 

The  following  table  illustrates,  during  the  years 
presented,  the  mix  of  the  Company’s  funding 
sourccs  and  the  assets  in  which  those  funds  are 
invested as a percentage of  the Company’s avcragc 
total  assets for the period indicated. Average assets 
totaled  $444,487 in  2005 cornpared  to $444,275 in 
2004 and  $436,239  in  2003. 

mand  deposits.  Average  non-interest  hearing  de- 
posils  totalcd  17.1%  of  total  average  deposits  in 
2005  compared  to  16.5%  in  2004  and  16.7%  in 
2003.  (Also  scc  section  captioned  “Deposits”  in- 
cluded  elsewhere  in  this  discussion). 

The Company primarily  invests funds in  loans and 
securities.  Securities  have been  the largest compo- 
nent  of the Company’s mix of  invested  assets since 
2003. During  2005  average  securities increased  by 
$5,284  or  2.496,  while  average  loans  decreased  by 
$ I   ,054 or 0.5%. 

The Company has  also purchased  bank  owned  life 
jnsurance policies on  the lives of  directors, certain 
employees  and  key  members  of  management  in 
conjunction  with the Company’s benefit plans. The 
average  balance  increased  from  $8,366  in  2003 to 
$ I   1,145 in  2005,  reflecting  the  purchasc  of  addi- 
tional  policies  and  the  buildup  of  cash  surrender 
value.  (See  additional  information  regarding  the

RESULTS  OF OPERATTONS 

Corninon  comparative  ratios  for  results  of  opera-

return  on  average  assets.  The  return  on  average 
equity  amounted  to  8.7%,  9.7%  and  10.6%  lor 
2005,  2004  and  2003,  respectively.  The  return  on

2004  and  1.3% in  2003. 

Net  interest  income,  the  principal  source  ol‘  the 
Company’s earnings,  is the amount by  which inter- 
est  and  fees  generated  by  interest-earning  assets, 
primarily  loans  and  investment  securities,  exceed 
the  interest  cost  of  deposits  and  borrowed  funds. 
The  net  interest  margin  ratio  registercd  3.X%

Cornpression in  the Company’s net interest margin 
during  2005  and  2004 resulted  from  the increased 
levels of  nonperforming  assets which  has occurred 
over the past  three years and a  sustained  flattening 
of  the  yield  curve.  The  significant  increase  in 
refinancing  activity  considerably  accelerated  the 
rate  at  which 
the  Company’s  earning  assets 
repriced.  Meanwhile,  interest  bearing  liabilities 
bumped up against a natural  limit in their ability  to 
reprice  as short  term  rates  approached  Lero.

2004. Fees for customer services decreased by $73 
or  3.1%  compared  to  an  increase  of  $691  in  the

duction  OS  a  new  deposit  product  first  offered  to

LOAN  LOSS  EXPERlENCE 

For  each  year  presented  in  the  table  on  the  following  page,  the  provision  for  loan  losses  charged  to 
operations is  based  on management’s judgment alter taking  into consideration  all known  factors connected 
with  the  collectability  of  the  existing  portfolio.  Management  evaluates  the  portfolio  in  light  o l  economic 
conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio,  industry standards and other relevant f‘r-ictors. 
Specific  factors  considered  by  management  i n   determining  thc  amounts  charged  to  operations  include 
previous loan  loss experience;  the status of  past due interest and principal payments; the qualily of financial 
inlormation  supplied  by  customers;  the  cashflow  coverage  and  trends  evidenced  by  financial  inlormation 
supplicd  by customers; the nature and estimated value of‘ any collateral  supporting specific loan crcdits; risk 
classifications  determined  by  the  Company’s  loan  review  systems  or  as  the  result  of  the  regulatory 
cxamination  process;  and  general  economic  conditions  in  the  lending  area  ol  the  Company’s  bank 
subsidiary.  Key  risk  factors  and  assumptions  are  dynamically  updatcd  to  reflect  actual  experiencc  and 
changing  circumstances. 

The Company iiuintains an allowance for losses on unfunded commercial lending commitments to providc 
for the risk of  loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using  a methodology  similar 
to  that  used  to  determine  the  allowance  for  loan  losses.  This  allowance  is  reported  as  a  liability  on  the 
balance  sheet  within  accrued  expenses  and  other  liabilities,  while  the  corresponding  provision  lor  these 
losses  is  recorded  as  ;I  component  of  other expense. 

C O K T L A N D   B A N C O R P  A N D  SUBSIDIARIES 
M A N A G E M E N T ’ S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
(In  Ihousands of dollars, except  for per  share amounls) 

Certain asset-specific loans are evaluated individually for impairment, based on management’s best estimate 
o l  discounted  cash  repayments  and  the anticipated  proceeds  lrom liquidating  collateral.  The actual  tinling 
and amount of  repayments and the ultimate realizable  value of  the collateral  may differ from iiianagement’s 
estimates. 

The expected loss for certain other commercial crcdits utilizes internal  risk  ratings. These loss estimates are 
sensitive to changes in the customer’s risk profile, the realizable value of  collateral, other risk lactors and the 
related  loss  experience  ol other  credits  of  similar  risk.  Consumer credits  generally  employ  statistical  loss 
factors, adjusted  for other risk  indicators, applied to pools ol similar loans stratified by asset type. These loss 
estimates are  sensitive to changes  in  delinquency status and  shifts  in  the aggregate  risk  profile.

The spike in  charge-olh during 2005 and 2003 primarily reflected certain impaired commercial  loan credits 
for  which  specific  loss  reserves  had  previously  been  established.  Bascd  on  its  analysis  and  review  of  all 
known  lactors,  management has  determined the  currenl levcl  of  the  allowance  to  he  adequate.

The allocations of  the allowance as shown in the table abovc should  not be interpreted as an indication  that 
future loan losses will occur  in  the same proportions or that the allocations indicate future loan loss trends. 
Furthermore,  the portion  allocated  to  each loan  category is  not the total amount  available  for future losses 
that  might  occur  within  such  categories  since  the total  allowance  is applicable  to the entire  portfolio.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION  AND ANA1,YSIS 
( I n  thousands of  dollars, except for per  share  amounts) 

The Company recorded  21  decrease of $3,575 in the 
loan  portfolio  l‘roin the level  of  $191,777 recorded 
at  December 3 I  ~  2004. 

The  following  shows  the  disposition  ol‘  mortgage 
loans  originated  during  2005  and  2004 
(in 
millions): 

Between  2004 and  2005,  the balance  of  residential 
mortgage loans remained relatively unchanged.  I  -4 
family  residential  mortgages  represent  3 I .8%  ol‘ 
total loans in the loan  portfolio coinpared to 3 I .9% 
in  2004.  The  portion  of  the  loan  portfolio  repre- 
sented  by  commercial  loans  (including  commer- 
cial  real  estate)  decreased  from  59.0% to  58.8%. 
Consumer  loans  (including  home  equity  loans) 
increased  from  9.1% to 9.4%. 

Real  estate  loans  which  include  residential  loans 
and  comniercial  loans  continue  to  comprise  the 
largest  share of  the  Company’s  loan  portfolio.  At 
the end of  2005, residential  loans and commercid 
loans comprised  a combined 90.6% of  the portloolio, 
compared  to  87.7%  five  years  ago.  Home  cquity 
loans  at  5.8%  and  consumer  installment  at  3.6% 
comprise  the  remainder  of  the  portfolio  in  2005. 
Five  years  ago  in  2000,  home  equity  loans  com- 
prised  3.6%  of  the  overall  loan  portfolio,  while 
consumer  installment  loans comprised  8.7%.

During  2005,  approximately  $14.2  million  in  new

an increase  of  $2.2  million  from  2004.  The Com- 
pany’s product  offerings  continue  to  include  a  ser- 
vice  release  sales  program,  which  permits  the 
Company  to  ofler  competitive  long-term  fixed  in-

During 2005, the Company originated  and retained 
in poril‘olio ;I  larger percentage of  residential  mort- 
gage  loans  than  it  sold  in  the  secondary  market. 
These  retained  loans  met  the  Company’s  asset 
quality  criteria.  A It h oug h  man agemenl anticipates 
that secondary market originations will continue as 
an  important  aspect  ol‘ loan  administration,  loans 
which  are  retained  by  the  Bank  portfolio  will 
become  more  predominant  as  porlfolio  lcnding 
strategies  are  developed  to  enhance  overall  cus- 
tomer relationships. 

The Rank  is  also  active  in  home  cquity financing. 
Home  Equity  term  loans  and  credit  lines  remain 
popular  with  consumers  wishing  to  finance  home 
improvements,  educational  costs,  vacations  and 
consumer  good  purchases  at  favorable  interest 
rates. 
Tn  order to improve custonicr retention  and provide 
better ovcrall  balance,  management  also will  con- 
tinuc  to  revamp  and  reposition  the Company’s  In-

IN V ICSTMENT  SEC'URTTTES 
In  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Ac- 
counting  Standards  No.  115  (SFAS  I  Is), "Ac- 
counting  for  Certain  Investments  in  Debt  and 
Equity Securities,"  investment securities are segre- 
gated  into three separate portfolios: held  lo matur- 
ity,  available  for  sale,  and  trading.  Each  porllolio 
type  has  its  own  method  of  accounting. 

Held to iiiaturity  securities are recorded  at histori- 
cal  cost,  adjusted  lor  amortization  of  premiums 
and  accrction  of  discounts.  Trading  securities  are 
marked-to-market,  with  any  gain  or loss  reflected 
in  the  determination  of  income.  Securities  desig- 
nated  as  available  for  sale  are  similarly  carried  at 
their  fair  market  value.  However,  any  unreali7ed 
gain  or  loss  (net of  tax)  is  recorded  as an  adjust- 
ment  to  shareholders'  equity  as  a  component  ol 
Other Comprehensive  Income. 

One cll'ect  of  SFAS  115 is to expose shareholders' 
equity to lluctuations resulting from market volatil- 
ity  related  to  the  available  for  sale  portfolio.  The 
potential  advcrse  impact of  this  volatility  is some- 
what  mitigated  as  bank  regulatory  agencies  mea- 
sure  capital  adequacy  for  regulatory  purposes 
without  regard  to the  cll'ccts  o l  SFAS  115. 

Securities  designated  by  the  Company  as held  to 
maturity  tend to  be  higher  yielding  but  less  liquid 
either due to maturity,  si7e or other characteristics 
of  the  issue.  The  Company  must  have  both  the 
intent  and  the  ability  to  hold  such  securities  to 
maturity. 

In  the  consumer  lending  area, the  Company pro-

( I )   The  weighted  average  yield  has  been  computed  by  dividing  the  total  interest  income  adjusted  for 
amortization  of  premium  or  accrction  of  discount  over the  lift:  of  the  security  by  the amortized  cost  ol' the 
securities  outstanding.  The  wcightcd  average  yield  of  tax-exempt  obligations  of  states  of  the  U S .   and

MANAGEMENT'S DlSCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS 
(In thousands o f  dollars, except for per  share amounts) 

As  of  December  31,  2005,  there  were  $2,017  in 
callable  U S .   Government  Agencies,  $6,273  in 
callable  obligations  of  states and  political  subdivi- 
sions that given  current and  expected  interest  rate 
environments are likely to  be called within  the onc 
year time horimn. These securities are Categorized 
according  to  their  contractual  maturities,  with 
$3,620  classified  as  maturing  alter  live  years  but 
within  ten years, and  $4,670 classified  as maturing 
after  10 years. 

Additionally,  as of  December 3 1 , 2005, there were 
$17,122 in callable U S .  Government Agencies and 
$26,326 in  callable  obligations ol' states  and politi- 
cal  subdivisions  that  given  current  and  expected 
interest  rate  environments  are  likcly  to  be  called 
within the time frame defined as after one year but 
within  five years.  These  securities  are  categorized 
according  to  their  contractual  maturities,  with 
$5,864  maturing  after  live  years  but  within  ten 
years  and  $37,584  maturing  al'tcr  10 years. 

As of  December 3 I ,   2005, the carrying value of  all 
investmenl  securities,  both  available  for  sale  and 
held  to  maturity,  tallied  $234,652,  an  increase  of 
$8,8 1 1  or 3.90% from the prior year. The allocation 
between  single  maturity  investment  securities  and 
mortgage-backed  securities shifted to a 64/36 split 
versus  the  59/41  division  of  the  previous  year,  as 
morlgagc-backed  securities  decreased  by  $8,234, 
or  9.0%. 

Holdings of  obligations  of  states and  political  sub- 
divisions  showed  a  decreasc  of  $975 or 2.1%.

its  holdings  of 
The  Company  decrcascd 
U S .  Treasury  securities by  approximately  $1,450, 
or  90.7%,  as  a  U.S.  Treasury  Security  was  sold 
during the year to reduce the portfolio's  duration in 
response to shifting monetary policy. The proceeds 
on 
totaled  $1,478.  Investments  in 
U.S. government  agencies  and  sponsorcd  corpora- 
tions 
increased  by  approximately  $1 1,833,  or 
17.4%.  The  Company  also  purchased  $8,275  in 
corporate  debt  securities  during  2005  to  take  ad- 
vantage of the floating rate repricing characteristics 
of  some  ol'  the  securities  and  the  high  yield  that 
was  obtained  on  three  General Motors  Corporate 

issues.  The  purchases  were  partially  olTset  by  an 
$808 unrealized  loss on the General  Motors bonds 
at  Deceniber  31,  2005.  The  net  result  was  an 
increase  in  the  corporate portfolio of  $7,484. 

Holdings  of  other  securities  increased  by  $153 
primarily  reflecting  stock  dividends  received  from 
the  Federal  Home Loan  Bank  of  Cincinnati. 

The  mix  ol'  mortgage-backed  securities  remained 
weighted  in  favor  of  fixed  rate  securities  in  2005, 
although  at  a  reduced  lcvel.  The  portion  of  the 
mortgage-backed  portfolio  allocated  to  lixed  rate 
securities l'cll  to  64% in  2005  versus  69%  in  2004. 
Floating rate and  adjuslable  rate mortgage-hacked 
securities  provide  some  degree  of  protection 
against  rising interest  rates, while lixed rate securi- 
ties  perform  better  in  periods  01 stable  to  slightly 
declining  interest  rates.  Included  in  the mortgage- 
backed  securities portfolio  are investments  in  col- 
lateralized  mortgage  obligations  which 
totalled 
$20,554  and  $22,963  at  December  31,  2005  and 
2004, rcspcctivcly.  No collateralized  mortgage  ob- 
ligations were  sold in  2005. 

At  December  31,  2005,  a  net  unreabed  loss  of 
$877,  net  of  tax,  was  included  in  shareholders' 
equity  as  a  component  of  Other  Coniprchcnsive 
Income,  as  compared  to  a  net  unrealized  gain  ol' 
$1,061, net  ol'  lax,  as of  December 31 , 2004.  This 
$1,938  decrease  reflects  the  decreased  market 
value  of  debt securities resulting  from  rising  short 
and  intermediate term  interest  rates  over  most  of 
the  year,  as  well  as  the  credit  quality  concerns  of 
the  General  Motors  issues.  Lower  interest  rates 
generally  translate  into  more  favorable  market 
prices  for debt securities;  conversely  rising  interest 
rates  generally  result  in  a depreciation in  the mar- 
ket  value  of  debt securities. 

Thc  Company  had  $8,680  in  investments  consid- 
ered  to  be  structured  notes  as  of  December  31, 
2005. The Company had no investments  in  inverse 
floating rate securities or other derivative products. 

Additional  inlormation  regarding  investments  can

Loan  charge-offs  during  the  quarter  were  $185  in 
2005 compared to $ I35 in  2004, while the recovery 
of  previously  chargcd-olT  loans  amounted  to  $14 
during the fourth quarter of  2005 compared  to $16 
in  the same period  of  2004. The Company’s provi- 
sion  for  loan  losses  during  the  quartcr  was  $135 
compared  to  $ I40  a year  ago. 

Other  income  decreased  by  $74  from  a  year  ago, 
due primarily to a decline in service charge income 
of  $52  and  a  $22 decrease  in  non-taxable  income 
on  bank  owned  life  insurance  policies,  reflecting 
declines  in  the  investment  yields  associated  with 
these policies.  Investment  securities gains  of  $378 
were  realized  in  2004,  compared  to  none  realized 
in the fourth quarter of  2005. The net gain on loans 
sold  during  the  quarter  amounted  to  $30,  coin- 
pared  to  $13 a year  ago. 
Total  other  non-intcrcst  cxpcnscs  in  the  fourth 
quarter were $2,990 in 2005 compared to $2,999 in 
2004,  a  decrease  of  $9  or  0.3%.  Salaries  and 

I  increase,  or 0.6%. Oc- 
beneliis  constituted  an  $ 1  
cupancy  and  equipment, office  supplies  and  mar- 
keting  expenses  decreased  by  $16  or  2.7%.  State 
and  local  tax  assessments  increased  by  $21  or 
18.6%. Bank exam and audit fees decreased by  $21 
or 13.5% mainly due to the expense associated with 
thc  implementation  of  the  requirements  of  Sec- 
tion  404  of  the  Sarbunes-Oxley  Act  of  2002  in 
2004.  Other cxpcnscs  decreased by  $4 or 0.9%. 

Income before  income tax  during  the fourth quar- 
ter  amountcd  to  $1,340  in  2005  compared  to 
$1,605 in  2004. Income tax expense for  the  fourth 
quarter of’ 2005  was  $247  as compared  to  $300 in 
2004.  Fourth  quartcr  net  income  was  $1,093  in 
2005  compared  to  $1,305  in  2004,  representing  n 
decrease  of  $212, or  16.2%. 

Earnings per  share for the fourth quartcr,  adjustcd 
for  the  3%  stock  dividend  paid  January  I ,   2006, 
were  $0.25  in  2005  and  $0.30 in  2004.

ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT 

The Company’s executive  management  and  Board  of  Direclors  roulinely  review  the  Company’s  balance 
sheet structure for stability,  liquidity  and capital adequacy. The Company has defined  a  set of  key  control 
paraiiieters  which  provide  various  measures  of  the  Company’s  exposure to  changes  in  interest  rates.  The 
Company’s  asset-liability  management  goal  is  to  produce  a  net  interest  margin  that  is  relatively  stable 
despite interest rate volatility while  maintaining an  acceptable  level of earnings. Net Tnterest Margin is the 
dift‘erence between  total  interest earned on a fully taxable equivalent basis and total interest expensed, The 
Net  Interest Margin  Ratio expresses  this  difference as  a percenhgc of  average  earning  assets.  In  the  past 
five years,  the  net  interest  margin  ratio  has averaged  4.01% ranging  between  3.74%  and  4.39%. 

Included  among  the  various  measurement  techniques  used  by  the  Company  to  identify  and  manage 
exposure  to  changing  interest  rates  is  the  use  ol‘  computer  based  simulation  models.  Computerized 
simulation  techniques  enable  the  Company  lo  explore  and  measure  net  interest  income  volatility  under 
alternative  asset  deployment  strategies, different  interest  rate  environments, various  product  offerings  and 
changing growth  patterns.

M A N A G E M E N T ' S  D I S C U S S l O N   A N D  ANALYSTS 
(In thousands  of  dollars, except for per  share  amounts) 

The  preceding  Gap  Table  presents  an  analysis  of 
the  Company's  earliest  repricing  opportunity  for 
each  of  its  interest-earning  assets  and  intcrcst- 
hearing  liabilities. Assets  are dislributcd  according 
to the earlier of  interest  rate repricing  opportunity 
or  expected  cash  flows.  Time deposits  and  liabili- 
ties with dclincd  maturities  are distributed  accord- 
ing  to  the  earlier  of  the  repricing  interval  or 
contractual  maturity.  Other core  deposit  accounts 
(Interest-bearing  checking,  Money  Market  and 
Savings accounts) are shown as being available for 
repricing in the earliest  time frame, although man- 
agement  can  exert  considerable  inlluencc  over  the 
timing  and manner ol' repricing  such core deposits. 
Therefore, these accounts may reprice  in later time 
intervals  and  reflect  smaller  incremental  changes 
than  other  interest-earning  assets  and  intcrcst- 
bearing  liabilities.  Since management  may  reprice 
these  accounts  at  its  discretion,  the  impact  of 
changing  rates on net  interest income is likely to be 
considerably  different  than  inferred  by  this  table. 

interest  rate  sensitivity.  Because  the  repricing  of 
the  various  categories  of  assets  and  liabilities  is 
subject  to  competitive pressures,  customer  prel'er- 
ences  and  other factors,  such  assets  and  liabilities 
may  in  fact reprice in different  time periods and  in 
different  increments than  assumed. 

The  computerized  simulation  techniques  uti1 i7ed 
by management  provide a more sophisticated mea- 
sure of  the degree lo which lhe Company's  intcrest 
sensilive assets and  liabilities  may be  impacted  by 
changes in ihe gencral level of  interest rates. These 
malyscs  show  the  Company's  net  interest  income 
remaining  relatively  neutral  within  the  economic 
and  interest  rate  scenarios  anticipated  by  manage- 
ment.  In  fact,  as previously  noted,  the Company's 
net  interest  margin  has  remained  relatively  stable 
in  the  range  of  3.74% to 4.39%  over  the  past  five 
years,  despite  significant  shifts in  the  mix ol' carn- 
jng  assets  and  the  direction  and  level  ol'  intcrcst 
rates. 

During  2005,  the  effective  maturities  of  earning 
assets tended to lengthen  as short and inlermediate 
rates  in  the  credit  markets  rose  sharply.  Federal 
Reserve  policy  makers  increased  short-term  inter- 
est rates eight times during the year, l'rom 2.25% to 
4.25% in an attempt to avoid an unwelcome  rise  in 
inflation. Wiih rates rising throughout the year, the 
volume  ol'  invcstincnt  securities  eligible  to  be 
called  decreased  significantly,  while  prepaymen tc 
on  loans  and  mortgage-backed  securities  similarly 
decreased,  causing  the  effective  niaturities  of  ex- 
isting  earning  assets  to  lengthen.  Accordingly,  in 
order  to  maintain  duration,  management  invested 
excess  overnight  funds  (federal  funds  sold  bal- 
ances),  and  increased  the  allocation  towards  hy- 
brid  adjustable  rule  mortgage-backed  securities, 
adjustable 
and

that contain a lock-out  period  prior to the first call 
date.

While the preceding  Gap Table provides  a general

JJQUIDITY 

The central  role  of  the  Company's  liquidity  man- 
agement  is  to  ( 1 )   ensure  sufticient  liquid  funds  to 
meet  the  normal  transaction  requirements  of  its 
customers,  (2)  take advantage of market  opportu- 
nities  requiring  flexibility and  speed,  and  ( 3 )  pro- 
vide  a cushion  againsl  unforeseen  liquidity nccds. 

Principal  sources  ol'  liquidity  lor  the  Company 
include  assets considered  relatively  liquid,  such  as 
interest-bearing  deposits  in  other  banks,  federal 
funds  sold,  cash  and  due  from  banks,  as  well  as 
cash  flows  from  maturilies  and  repayments  of

loans,  inveslnient  securities  and  mortgage-backed 
securitics. 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents,  which  includes federal 
funds  sold  increased  by  $6,340  compared  to  ycar- 
end  2004.  Anlicipatcd  principal  repayments  on 
mortgage-backed  securities  along  with  investment 
securities  maturing,  repricing,  or  expected  to  be 
called  in  one  year  or  less  amounted  lo  $73,603  at 
December 31 , 2005, representing 31.4% of the total 
combined  portfolio,  as  compared  to  $96,471  or 
42.7% of  the  portfolio  a ycar  ago. 

Along  with  its  liquid  assets,  the  Company  has 
other sources of  liquidity available to it which  help 
lo  cnsurc  that  adequate  funds  are  available  as 
needed.  These  other  sources  include,  but  are  not 
limited  to,  the  ability  to  obtain  deposits  through 
the adjustment  of  interest  rates,  the purchasing  of 
federal  funds,  and  access  to  the  Federal  Keservc 
Discount Window. The Company is also a member 
of  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  of  Cincinnati, 
which  provides  yet  another  source of  liquidity. 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  increased  from  $9,747 
in 2003,  $12,897 in  2004 to $19,237 in  2005 as the 
Company  increased  its  level  of  Federal  Funds 
Sold.  Operating  activities  provided  cash  of  $4,275 
in  2005,  $7,382  in  2004  and  $7,048  in  2003.  Key 
differences  stern  mainly from:  I )   a decrease in nct 
income  of  $509  between  2005  and  2004  and  $641 
between  2004  and  2003;  2)  there  were  no  loans 
held for sale at December 31, 2005 and 2004, $103 
at  2003  and  $2,022  at  December  31, 2002,  which 
favorably  inipacts  the proceeds  and  gains  on loans 
realized  in  2004  by  $103  and  2003  by  $1,919; 
3)  gains  on  the  sale  of  investments  was  $308  at 
to  $1,052  at

December  31,  2004  and  $946  at  December  31,

December  31,  2005  compared  to  $1,546  in  2004 
and $1,644 in 2003; 5) loss on the sale of other real 
estate totaled  $171 in 2004 compared to $3 in 2005 
and none in 2003; 6) the purchase  of  an  additional 

$2.5 million  insurance contracts  on the lives of  the

CAPITAL RESOURCES 

Regulatory  standards  for  measuring  capital  ade- 
quacy  require  banks  and  bank  holding  companies 
to maintain  capital based  on "risk-adjusted"  assets 
so  that  catcgorics  of  assets  of  potentially  higher 
credit risk require  more capital  backing than  assets 
with  lower  risk.  In  addition, banks  and  bank  hold- 
ing  companies  are  required  to maintain  capital  to

support, on a risk-adjusted  basis, certain off-balance 
sheet activities such as standby letters of  credit and 
inlcrest  rate  swaps. 

The  risk-based  standards ciassil‘y capital  into two 
tiers. Tier 1 capital consists of  common sharehold- 
ers’ equity, noncumulative  and cumulative  perpel- 
ual  preferred  stock,  and  minority  interests  less 
goodwill.  Ticr  2  capital  consists  of  a  limitcd 
amount of  the allowance for loan  and lease losses,

term  subordinated 
instruments, 
debt, and  intermediate-term  preferred  stock. 

Thc following graph,  which  is  not  “risk-adjusted,” 
dcpicts  Tier  1  capital  as  a  percentage  of  total 
average  assets  over  the  past  several  years.  This 
measure  of  capital adequacy is known  as the “lev- 
erage  ratio.”  The  ratio  increased  from  10.88%  in 
2004  to  11.05%  in  2005,  and  remains  well  above 
regulatory  minimums.

The  Fcderal  Deposit  lnsurance  Corporation  1111- 
provement  Act  of  1991  (FDTCTA)  required  bank- 
ing  regulatory  agencics to  revise risk-based  capital 
standards to ensure that they take adcquate account 
of  inlcrest  rate  risk. Accordingly,  regulators  sub-jec- 
tively  consider  an institution’s  exposurc to  declines 
in  the economic value of its  capital  due to changes 
in  interest  rates  in  evaluating capital  adequacy. 

The following table illustrates  the Company’s risk- 
weighted  capital  ratios  at  Deccmber 3 I ,   2005  and 
2004.  Bunks  are  required  to  maintain  a  minimum 
ratio  ol‘  8%  of  qualifying  total  capital  to  risk- 
adjusted total  asscts. The Tier  1 capital  ratio  niusl 

be ai least  4%.  Capital qualifying  as Tier 2 capital 
is  limited  to  100% of  Tier  1 capital.  As  the table 
indicates, the Company maintains  both  Ticr  1 and 
total  risk-based  capital  well  in  excess  of  the  re- 
quired  regulatory  minimum  ratios.

REGU1,AI’ORY MATTERS 

On March  13, 2000, the Board o l  Governors of the 
Federal  Reserve  System approved  the Company’s 
application  to  bccomc  a  financial  holding  com- 
pany.  As  a  financial  holding  company,  the  Com- 
pany  may  engage  i n   activities  that  are financial  in 
nature  or  incidental  to  a  financial  activity,  as  au- 
thorired by  thc  Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act  of  1999 
(The Financial  Services Reform  Act).  Under  thc 
Financial Services Reform  Act,  the Company may 
continue  to claim  the  benefits  of  financial  holding 
company status as  long as each dcpository  institu- 
tion  that  it  controls  remains  well  capitalized  and 
well managed. The Company is rcquired  to provide 
notice  to  thc  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Federal 
Reserve  System  when  it  becomes  aware  that  any 
depository  institution  controlled  by  the  Company 
ceases  to  be  wcll  capitalized  or  well  managed. 
Furthermore, current  regulation  specifies thal prior 
to  initiating  or  engaging  in  any  new  activities  that 
are authorized  for financial holding companies, the 
Company’s  insured deposilory institutions  must  be 
rated  “satisfactory”  or  better  under  the  Commu- 
nity  Reinvestment  Act  (CRA).  As  of  Decem- 
ber  31,  2005,  the  Company’s  bank  subsidiary  was 
rated  “satisfactory”  for  C K A   purposes,  and  re- 
mained  well  capitalized  and  wcll  managed,  in 
management’s  opinion. 

MARKET  RISK 

Management considers  interest  rate risk  to be  the 
Company’s principal  source  of  market  risk.  Inter- 
est  rate  risk  is  measured  as the  impact ol interest 
rate  changes  on  the  Company’s  net  interest  in- 
come.  Components of  interest  rate  risk  comprise 
repricing  risk,  basis  risk  and  yield  curve  risk. 
Rcpricing  risk  arises  due  to  timing  differences  in 
the repricing of assets and liabilities as interest  rate 
changes  occur.  Basis  risk  occurs  when  repricing 
assets  and  liabilities  reference  different  key  rates. 

Yield  curve  risk  arises  when  a  shift  occurs  in  the 
relationship  among  key  rates  across  the  maturity 
spectrum. 

The  effective  management  of  interest  rate  risk 
seeks  to  limit  the  adverse  impact  of  interest  rate 
changes  on  the  Company’s  net  interest  margin, 
providing  the  Company with  the  best  opportunity 
for  maintaining  consistent  earnings  growth.  To- 
ward this end, management uses computer simula- 
tion 
financial 
performance  under  varying  interest  rate  scenarios. 
These scenarios  may reflect  changes in  thc level of 
interest  rates,  changes  in  the  shapc  of  the  yield 
curve,  and  changes in interest  rate relationships. 

the  Company’s 

to  model 

The  simulation  model  allows  management  to  test 
and  evaluate  alternative  responses  to  n  changing 
interest  rate  environment.  Typically  when  con- 
fronted  with  a  heightened  risk  of  rising  intcrest 
rates,  the  Company  will  evaluate  strategies  that 
shorten investment  and loan repricing intervals and 
maturities,  emphasiye  the  ucquisition  of  floating 
rate over fixed rate assets, and lengthen the maturi- 
ties  of  liability  funding  sourccs.  When the  risk  of 
falling  rates  is  perceived,  management  will  con- 
sider stratcgics that shorten the maturities of fund- 
ing  sourccs,  lengthen  the  repricing  intervals  and 
maturities  of  investments  and  loans,  and  cmpha- 
size the acquisition ol fixed rate assets over floating 
rate assets. 

Thc most significant assumptions used in the simu- 
lation relate to the cash flows and repricing charac- 
teristics of the Company’s balance shcct. Repricing 
and  runoff  rate  assumptions  are  based  upon  spe- 
cific  product  paramctcrs  modified  by  historical 
trends and  internal  projections.  These assumptions 
are periodically reviewed  and benchmarked  against 
historical  results.  Actual  results  may  difler  from 
siniulated results not  only due to the timing,  mag- 
nitude  and  frequency  o l  intcrcst  rate changes,  but 
also  due  to  changes  in  general  economic  condi- 
tions,  changes in  customer  preferences and behav- 
ior,  and  changes  in  strategies by  both  existing and 
potential  competitors. 

COKTLAND BANCORP  ANI) SUBSIDIARIES 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION A N D  ANALYSIS 
(In  thousands  of  dollars, except for per  sharc amounts) 

The following  table  shows  the  Company’s  current 
estimate  of  interest  rate  sensitivity  based  on  the 
composition  ol its balance  shcct  at  Decembcr  3 1 ,  
2005.  For  purposes  of  this  analysis,  short  term 
interest  ratcs as measured  by the federal funds rate 
and the prinic lending rate are assumed to increase 
(decrease)  gradually  over  the  next  twelvc  months 
reaching  a  level  300  basis  points  higher  (lower) 
than  the  rates  in  eflect  at  December  31,  2005. 
Under  both  the rising  rate  scenario and  the falling 
rate  sccnario, the yield curve is assumed to exhibit 
a  parallel  shift. 

During  2005,  the  Federal  Reserve  incrcased  its 
target  rate for overnight federal funds by 200 basis 
points.  At year end Decembcr 31, 2005, Ihc differ- 
ence  betwccn  the  yield  on  the  ten  year  Treasury 
and  the  thrce  month  Treasury  had  decrcased  to a 
positive 31  basis points  from the positive  202 basis 
points  that existed  at Deccmber 31, 2004, indicat- 
ing  that  the  yield  curve  was  “flattening.”  At  De- 
cember  31,  2005,  the yield  curve  was  inverted,  as 
intercst  rate  yields  €or  three  years  through  ten 
years  were  below  those  of  the  two  year  yield. 
Howcver,  rates  did  peak  at  the  long-end  of  the 
Treasury  yield  curve. 

The base  case against  which  interest  rate sensitiv- 
ity  is  nieasured  assumes  no  change  in  short  term 
rates.  Thc  base  case  also  assumes  no  growth  in 
assets  and  liabilities  and  no  change  in  asset  or 
liability mix. Under lhcse simulated conditions, Ihc 
base  case  prqjects  net  interest  incomc of  $1  5,377 
for  thc  year  ending Dccernber  31,  2006

The  level  of  interest  rate  risk  indicaled  is  within 
limits 
that  managcment  considcrs  acceptablc. 
However,  given  that  interest  rate  movements  can 

bc  sudden  and  unanticipated,  and  are increasingly 
influenced  by  global  events  and  circumstances 
beyond  the  purview  of  the  Federal  Reserve,  no 
assurances  can  be  made  that  inlercst  rate  niove- 
ments will  not  impact key assumptions and param- 
cters  in  a  manncr  not  presently  ciiibodied  by  thc 
model. 

Tt  is  management’s  opinion  that  hedging  instru- 
ments  currently  available  are  not  a  cost  effective 
means ol controlling inlerest  rate risk lor the Com- 
pany.  Accordingly,  the  Company  does  not  cur- 
rcntly use financial derivatives, such as interest ratc 
options,  swaps,  caps,  floors  or  other  similar 
instruments. 

CRITTCAL ACCOIJNTING POLICIES  AND 
ESTIMATES 

The  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements 
arc prepared in accordance with accounting princi- 
ples  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  and 
lollow  general  practices  within  the  industries  in 
which  it  operates. The most  significant  accounting 
policies  followed by the Company are presented  in 
“Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements - 
Suinmary of  Significant Accounting Policics.” Ap- 
plication  of  these  principles  requires  management 
to  rnake  estimates,  assumptions  mid  judgments 
that  aflcct  the  amounts  reported  in  thc  financial 
statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Some  of 
thesc policies  and related  methodologies  are more 
critical  than  others.  The  Company  has  identified 
its policy on  the allowance for loan  losscs  as being 
critical  hecause  it  requires  management  to  make 
particularly  dillicult,  subjective  and/or  complex 
judgments about matters that arc inherently uncer- 
tain  and  because  of  the  likelihood  that  materially 
different  amounts would  be  reported  under differ- 
cnt conditions or  by using  dinerent assumptions. 

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  represents  manage- 
ment’s  estimate of  probable  credit  losses  inherent 
in  thc  loan  portlolio.  Determining  thc  amount  of 
the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical 
accounting estimate because  it  requires  significant 
judgment  and  the use  of  sub-jective measurements 
including  management’s assessment of  the internal 

CORTLAND BANCOKI’  AND SUBSTDTARIES 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS 
(In  thousands of  dollars, except for per  sharc amounts) 

risk  classifications of  loans,  changes  in  the  nature 
of  the  loan  portfolio,  industry  concentrations  and 
the  impact of  current local,  regional  and national 
economic factors on  the quality of the loan portfo- 
lio.  Changes  in  these  estimates  and  assumptions 
are  reasonably  possible  and  may  have  a  material 
impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial 
statements, results of  operations or liquidity. 

Accordingly,  the  Company  has  developed  and 
maintains  a  comprehensive,  systematic  and  con- 
sistently applied process to dctcrmine the appropri- 
ate  amounts of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses,  and 
resultant  provision  for  loan  losses,  necessary  to 
absorb  estimated credit losses inherent  in  the  loan 
portfolio.  The allowance  for  loan  losses  represents 
management’s  best  estimate  from  within  an  ac- 
ceptable range of  estimated losses that it considers 
appropriate  and  prudent,  but  no1 excessive. 

While  management’s  evaluation  of  the  allowance 
for loan  losses as of  Dcccmber 3 I ,  2005 has deter- 
mined  the  allowancc  to  be  adequate,  under  ad- 
versely  different  conditions  or  assumptions,  the 
Company  would  most  likely  need  to  increase  the 
allowance. The assumptions and estimates uscd  by 
the Company in its internal review of  non-perform- 
ing  loans  and  potential  problem  loans,  as  well  as 
thc  associated  evaluation  of  the  related  collaleral 
coverage  for  these  loans,  can  have  a  significant 
impact  on  the  overall  assessment  of  the  adequacy 
of  the  allowance  for  loan  losscs.  While  manage- 
ment  has  concluded  that  thc  current  valuation  of 

loan  collateral is reasonable under present  circum- 
stances,  if  collateral  valuations  were  significantly 
reduced  due  to  either  new  information  or  other 
changing  circumstances,  additional  provisions  to 
the  allowance  for loan  losses  would  most  likely  be 
necessary. 

All  accounting  policies  arc  important  and  the 
reader  of  thcsc financial  statements is encouraged 
to  review  the  summary  of  significant  accounting 
policies  described  in  Note  1  of  the  Consolidated 
Financial  Statements,  in  order  to  gain  a  better 
underslanding of how the Company’s financial per- 
formance  is reported. 

For additional  information regarding the allowance 
for loan losses, its rclation  to the provision for loan 
losses and  risk related  to asset quality,  see sections 
of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Slate- 
rnents”  and “Managemcnt  Discussion  and  Analy- 
sis”  rclated  to  the  allowance for  loan  losses.

the  relative  value  of  money  due  to  inflation  are 
generally not  considered.  Neither the price, timing 
nor  the  inagnilude  of  changes  directly  coincide
