YOU MAY
NOTICE
SOMETHING
A LITTLE
DIFFERENT.
In 2012, The Juniata Valley
Bank made the decision to
change the “public face” of
it’s business. This re-branding
effort resulted in a new and
dynamic look that we feel is
essential in maintaining the company’s forward
momentum. Along with this new identity, we instituted
an energetic new advertising campaign designed to
make both existing and new customers sit up and
take notice.
Utilizing bold colors, robust type faces and highly-
targeted concepts, our revitalized creative endeavors
ensure that the new business culture in which we
exist will realize that The Juniata Valley Bank will now
be better able to cater more efficiently to existing
customer demands.
In addition to generating a buzz among our clientele,
our rebranding has served to create a new momentum
within our company as employees gain knowledge
and offer critical feedback. They realize they are an
integral part of our company and we look forward to
everyone’s contribution to our renewed future.
Below are just a few examples of how The Juniata
Valley Bank is conveying its message to customers
eager for change, secure in the knowledge that they
will keep coming back in the hopes of experiencing
something new and exciting.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this Annual Report contains forward looking statements (as such term is defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations thereunder) including, without limitation, statements as to future loan and deposit volumes,
the allowance and provision for possible loan losses, future interest rates and their effect on the Company’s financial condition or
results of operations, the classification of the Company’s investment portfolio and other statements which are not historical facts
or as to trends or management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or opinions. Such forward looking statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties and may be affected by various factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward looking statements including, without limitation, the impact of adverse changes in the economy and real estate markets,
including protracted periods of low-growth and sluggish loan demand; the effect of market interest rates, particularly a continuing
period of low market interest rates, and relative balances of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities, on net interest margin
and net interest income; the effect of competition on rates of deposit and loan growth and net interest margin; increases in non-
performing assets, which may result in increases in the allowance for credit losses, loan charge-offs and elevated collection and
carrying costs related to such non-performing assets; other income growth, including the impact of regulatory changes which have
reduced debit card interchange revenue; investment securities gains and losses, including other than temporary declines in the value
of securities which may result in charges to earnings; the level of other expenses, including salaries and employee benefit expenses;
the increasing time and expense associated with regulatory compliance and risk management; the uncertainty and lack of clear
regulatory guidance associated with the delay in implementing many of the regulations mandated by the Dodd Frank Act; and capital
and liquidity strategies, including the expected impact of the capital and liquidity requirements proposed by the Basel III standards.
Certain of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are discussed in this Annual Report or in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, a copy of which may be obtained from the Company upon request and without
charge (except for the exhibits thereto).
OVERVIEW
This discussion concerns Juniata Valley Financial Corp. (“Company” or “Juniata”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Juniata
Valley Bank (“Bank”). The overview is intended to provide a context for the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in this
annual report. We have attempted to identify the most important matters on which our management focuses in evaluating our financial
condition and operating performance and the short-term and long-term opportunities, challenges and risks (including material trends
and uncertainties) which we face. We also discuss the actions we are taking to address these opportunities, challenges and risks.
The Overview is not intended as a summary of, or a substitute for review of, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Nature of Operations
Juniata is a bank holding company that delivers financial services within its market, primarily central Pennsylvania. The Company
owns one bank, the Bank, which provides retail and commercial banking services through 12 offices in Juniata, Mifflin, Perry,
Huntingdon and Centre counties. Additionally, Juniata owns 39.16% of Liverpool Community Bank (“LCB”), carried as an
unconsolidated subsidiary and accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The Bank provides a full range of consumer and commercial services. Consumer services include Internet, mobile and telephone
banking, an automated teller machine network, personal checking accounts, interest checking accounts, savings accounts, insured
money market accounts, debit cards, certificates of deposit, club accounts, secured and unsecured installment loans, construction
and mortgage loans, safe deposit facilities, credit lines with overdraft checking protection, individual retirement accounts, health
savings accounts, on-line bill payment and other on-line and mobile services. Commercial banking services include small and high-
volume business checking accounts, on-line account management services, ACH origination, payroll direct deposit, commercial
lines and letters of credit, commercial term and demand loans and repurchase agreements. The Bank also provides a variety of trust,
asset management and estate services. The Bank offers annuities, mutual funds, stock and bond brokerage services and long-term
care insurance products through an arrangement with a broker-dealer and insurance brokers. Management believes the Company
has a relatively stable deposit base with no major seasonal depositor or group of depositors. Most of the Company’s commercial
customers are small and mid-sized businesses in central Pennsylvania.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Economic and Industry-Wide Factors Relevant to Juniata
As a financial services organization, Juniata’s core business is most influenced by the movement of interest rates. Lending and
investing is done daily, using funding from deposits and borrowings, resulting in net interest income, the most significant portion of
operating results. Through the use of asset/liability management tools, the Company continually evaluates the effects that possible
changes in interest rates could have on operating results and balance sheet growth. Using this information, along with analysis of
competitive factors, management designs and prices its products and services.
General economic conditions are relevant to Juniata’s business. In addition, economic factors impact customers’ need for financing,
thus affecting loan growth. Additionally, changes in the economy can directly impact the credit strength of existing and potential
borrowers.
Focus of Management
The management of Juniata believes that it is important to know who and what we are in order to be successful. We must be aligned
in our efforts to achieve goals. We’ve identified the four characteristics that define the Company and the personnel that support it.
We are Committed, Capable, Caring and Connected. Management seeks to be the preeminent financial institution in its market
area and measures its success by five key elements.
Shareholder Satisfaction
Above all else, management is committed to maximizing the value of our shareholders’ investment, through both stock value
appreciation and dividend returns. Remaining connected to our communities will allow us to identify the financial needs of our
market and to deliver those products and services capably. In doing so, we will profitably grow the balance sheet and enhance core
earnings, while maintaining capital and liquidity levels well exceeding all regulatory guidelines.
Customer Relationships
We are committed to maximizing customer satisfaction. We are sensitive to the expanding array of financial services and financial
service providers available to our customers, both locally and globally. We are committed to fostering a complete customer
relationship by helping clients identify their current and future financial needs and offering practical and affordable solutions to
both. As our customers’ lifestyles change, the channels through which we deliver our services must change as well. One element of
the Company’s strategic plan is to provide connection through every means available, wherever we are needed: stand-alone branch,
in-store boutique, ATM or via on-line and mobile banking anywhere internet or cell phone signals can be received.
Balance Sheet Growth
We are capable of profitable balance sheet growth. Rapid growth should not be a substitute for careful fiscal and strategic
management. It is our goal to continue quality growth despite intense competition by paying careful attention to the needs of our
customers. We will continue to maintain high credit standards, knowing that lending under the right circumstances is the proper way
to maintain soundness and profitability. We believe we consistently pay fair market rates on all deposits, and have invested wisely
and conservatively in compliance with self-imposed standards, minimizing risk of asset impairment. We aspire to increase our market
share within the current communities that we serve, and to expand in contiguous areas through acquisition and investment. As part
of our strategic plan for growth, we continue to actively seek opportunities for acquisitions of branches or stakes in other financial
institutions, similar to those that have occurred in recent years.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Operating Results
We are capable of producing profitability ratios that exceed those of many of our peers. Recognizing that net interest margins have
narrowed for banks in general and that they may not return to the ranges experienced in the past, we also focus on the importance
of providing fee-generating services in which customers find value. Offering a broad array of services prevents us from becoming
too reliant on one form of revenue. It has also been our philosophy to spend conservatively and to implement operating efficiencies
where possible to keep non-interest expense from escalating in areas that can be controlled. In 2012, we continued to make advances
in technological resources, placing data and information in the hands of our customers and employees, committed to optimizing
the customer experience.
Connection to the Community
We are active corporate citizens of the communities we serve. Although the world of banking has transitioned to global availability
through electronics, we believe that our community banking philosophy is still valid. Despite technological advances, banking is still
a personal business, particularly in the rural areas we serve. We believe that our customers shop for services and value a relationship
with an institution involved in the same community, with the same interests in its prosperity. We have a foundation and a history
in each of the communities we serve. Management takes an active role in local business and industry development organizations
to help attract and retain commerce in our market area. We provide businesses, large and small, with financial tools and financing
needed to grow and prosper. We have always been committed to responsible lending practices. We invest locally by including local
municipal bonds in our investment portfolio and participating in funding for such projects as low income and elderly housing. We
support charitable programs that benefit the local communities, not only with monetary contributions, but also through the personal
involvement of our caring employees.
Juniata’s Opportunities
Soundness and stability
Our financial condition is strong. We enjoy strong capital and liquidity ratios that significantly exceed regulatory guidelines. Our
business model includes a plan for growth without sacrificing profitability or integrity. We believe an opportunity exists for banks
such as ours to offer the trusted, personal service of a locally managed institution that has roots in the community reaching back
more than 140 years.
Expansion of customer base
Through market analysis, we believe there are opportunities to expand our sales efforts in order to increase deposit market share
in rural central Pennsylvania. Our strategic focus is based on leveraging our collective knowledge of the Company’s primary and
contiguous markets to identify lending or fee-based opportunities consistent with our risk parameters and profitability targets. We
continue to develop our sales team through mentoring and by making employee education paramount. We will capitalize on back-
room efficiencies created through the implementation of new processes. We understand the changes taking place in a world where
convenience and mobility are priorities in deciding with whom one will do business. We have positioned ourselves to increase
market share by offering full featured mobile banking that is appealing to an increasing number of customers now and in the future.
Plans for 2013 include a broad marketing effort to increase awareness of our Bank’s services. In addition to advertising, we will be
offering a series of financial education sessions to the community.
Delivery system enhancements
We seek to continually enhance our customer delivery system, both through technology and physical facilities. We actively seek
opportunities to expand our branch network through acquisitions. We believe that it is imperative that our customers have convenient
and easy access to personal financial services that complement their particular lifestyle, whether it is through electronic or personal
delivery. It is with this in mind that we announced our entrance into the mobile banking arena in 2011 and followed up with an
on-line mortgage application product beginning in the second quarter of 2012. In 2013, some branch modernization will occur, that
is designed to appeal to both traditional customers and those that prefer electronic efficiencies. In addition to offering on-line and
mobile services, our sales staff has also become more mobile, reaching out to clients and potential clients through on-site visits,
connecting more closely with the business and personal financial needs of our customer base.

Juniata’s Challenges
Economy
The economy continues to be stagnant. Unemployment levels have not yet shown signs of sustained decrease, home values have
remained depressed, earnings rates on investments remain historically low and government actions to intervene in the markets
continue to result in large increases in the national debt. All these factors are affecting the behavior of consumers and businesses
and the way in which money is spent, saved, borrowed and invested.
Competition
Each year, competition becomes more fierce and global in nature. To meet this challenge, we attempt to stay in close contact with
our customers, monitoring their satisfaction with our services through surveys, personal visits and networking in the communities
we serve. We strive to meet or exceed our customers’ expectations and deliver consistent high-quality service. We believe that our
customers have become acutely aware of the value of local service, and we strive to maintain their confidence.
Rate environment
We intend to continue making what we believe to be rational pricing decisions for loans, deposits and non-deposit products. This
strategy can be difficult to maintain, as many of our peers appear to continue pricing for growth, rather than long-term profitability
and stability. We believe that a strategy of “growth for the sake of growth” results in lower profitability, and such actions by large
groups of banks have had an adverse impact on the entire financial services industry. We intend to maintain our core pricing principles,
which we believe protect and preserve our future as a sound community financial services provider, proven by results.
Regulated Company
The Company is subject to banking regulation, as well as regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, as
such, must comply with many laws, including the USA Patriot Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Management has established a Disclosure Committee for Financial Reporting, an internal
group at Juniata that seeks to ensure that current and potential investors in the Company receive full and complete information
concerning our financial condition. Juniata has incurred direct and indirect costs associated with compliance with the SEC’s filing
and reporting requirements imposed on public companies by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as adherence to new and existing
banking regulations and stronger corporate governance requirements. Regulatory burdens continue to increase as evidenced by
the provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that impact the Company in the areas of corporate governance, capital requirements and
restrictions on fees that may be charged to consumers.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based upon the application of accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the most significant of which are described in Note 2 to our consolidated
financial statements – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Certain of these policies require numerous estimates and
economic assumptions, based upon information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. As such, over
time, they may prove inaccurate or vary and may significantly affect the Company’s reported results and financial position in future
periods. The accounting policy for establishing the allowance for loan losses relies to a greater extent on the use of estimates than
other areas and, as such, has a greater possibility of producing results that could be different from those currently reported. Changes
in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates in the allowance for loan losses could have a material impact on the Company’s
future financial condition and results of operations.
The section of this Annual Report to Shareholders entitled “Allowance for Loan Losses” provides management’s analysis of the
Company’s allowance for loan losses and related provision expense. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is based upon an evaluation of individual credits in the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experience,
current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This determination is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates,
including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to
significant change.
In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for
loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions at the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Considerations used by management to determine other-than-temporary impairment status of individual holdings within the
investment securities portfolio are based partially upon estimations of fair value and potential for recovery. As market conditions
and perception can unpredictably affect the value of individual investments in the future, these determinations could have a material
impact on the Company’s future financial condition and results of operations.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future effects of temporary differences and tax credits. Enacted
tax rates are applies to cumulative temporary differences based on expected taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax
asset or liability is anticipated to be realized. Future tax rate changes could occur that would require the recognition of income or
expense in the consolidated statements of income in the period in which they are enacted. Deferred tax assets must be reduced by
a valuation allowance if in management’s judgment it is “more likely than not” that some portion of the asset will not be realized.
Management may need to modify their judgments in this regard from one period to another should a material change occur in the
business environment, tax legislation, or in any other business factor that could impair the Company’s ability to benefit from the
asset in the future.
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, requires that goodwill is not amortized
to expense, but rather that it be tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment write-downs are charged to the consolidated
statements of income in the period in which the impairment is determined. The Company did not identify any impairment on its
outstanding goodwill from its most recent testing, which was performed as of December 31, 2012. If certain events occur which
might indicate goodwill has been impaired, the goodwill is tested when such events occur.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2012
Financial Performance Overview
Net income for Juniata in 2012 was $3,648,000, representing a 22.1% decrease as compared to net income for 2011. Earnings per
share on a fully diluted basis decreased from $1.10 in 2011 to $0.86 in 2012. The net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent
basis, decreased from 3.97% in 2011 to 3.68%, in 2012. The ratio of non-interest income (excluding gains on sales of securities
and securities impairment charges) to average assets increased by 13 basis points, while the ratio of non-interest expense to average
assets increased by 2 basis points to 2.88%. Five-year historical ratios are presented below.

Most of the key ratios presented above declined in 2012 as compared to 2011, primarily as a result of an unusually high provision
for loan losses recorded during 2012 in addition to a decline in the net interest margin. A description of the cause of both of these
factors can be found later in this discussion. We note also that the sustained low rate environment has resulted in generally lower
margins for most banking organizations. Therefore, it is important to understand the degree of change in the net interest margin and
how it compares to similar companies in our competitive market. We follow the performances of a group of six local competitors
as a peer group to compare total stock return and the analysis below compares our net interest margin to the peer group’s financial
performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the most recent year-to-date period that is publicly available for all
peer members. As noted below, Juniata’s net interest margin significantly exceeded the averages of the peer group.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Juniata strives to attain consistently high earnings levels each year by protecting the core (repeatable) earnings base through
conservative growth strategies that minimize stockholder and balance-sheet risk, while serving its rural Pennsylvania customer base.
This approach has helped achieve solid performances year after year. The Company considers the ROA ratio to be a key indicator of
its success and constantly scrutinizes the broad categories of the income statement that impact this profitability indicator. Summarized
below are the components of net income (in thousands of dollars) and the contribution of each to ROA for 2012 and 2011.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest income is the most significant component of revenue, comprising approximately 80% of total revenues (the total of net
interest income and non-interest income, exclusive of security gains and impairment charges) for 2012. Interest spread measures the
absolute difference between average rates earned and average rates paid. Because some interest earning assets are tax-exempt, an
adjustment is made for analytical purposes to place all assets on a fully tax-equivalent basis. Net interest margin is the percentage of
net return on average earning assets on a fully tax-equivalent basis and provides a measure of comparability of a financial institution’s
performance.
Both net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by interest rate changes, changes in the relationships between various
rates and changes in the composition of the average balance sheet. Additionally, product pricing, product mix and customer preferences
dictate the composition of the balance sheet and the resulting net interest income. Table 1 shows average asset and liability balances,
average interest rates and interest income and expense for the years 2012, 2011 and 2010. Table 2 further shows changes attributable
to the volume and rate components of net interest income.

Net margin on interest earning assets is net interest income divided by average interest earning assets.
Interest on obligations of states and municipalities is not subject to federal income tax. In order to make the net yield comparable on
a fully taxable basis, a tax equivalent adjustment is applied against the tax-exempt income utilizing a federal tax rate of 34%.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
On average, total loans outstanding in 2012 decreased from 2011 by 3.8%, to $282,282,000. Average yields on loans decreased by 39
basis points in 2012 when compared to 2011. As shown in the preceding Rate – Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income Table 2, the
decrease in yield reduced interest income by approximately $966,000, and the decrease in volume further reduced interest income by
$799,000, resulting in an aggregate decrease in interest recorded on loans of $1,765,000. While the prime rate has remained unchanged
at 3.25% since December of 2008, adjustable rate mortgages scheduled to reprice during 2012 that had not already reached a floor,
did so at rates below their previous rates, effectively decreasing the overall yield to the Bank. Additionally, in 2012, with fixed rates
offered through the secondary market, it became favorable for some customers with adjustable rate loans to refinance through that
program, decreasing both volume and yield in the loan portfolio. Likewise, new and refinanced loans remaining in the portfolio at
lower rates during 2012 also contributed to the decrease in overall yield.
During 2012, 68% of the investment portfolio, or $75,816,000, matured or was prepaid. All proceeds from these events and other funds
available through deposit growth, totaling $87,319,000, were reinvested in the investment portfolio in the lower rate environment,
explaining the decrease in overall yield of the investment securities by 41 basis points. Yields on the investment securities portfolio
decreased to 1.64% in 2012, as compared to 2.05% in 2011. Yield declines decreased net interest income by $443,000 when compared
to 2011. Average balances of investment securities increased by $20,529,000, and this volume increase accounted for a $351,000
increase in interest income as compared to 2011.
In total, yield on earning assets in 2012 was 4.39% as compared to 4.91% in 2011, a decrease of 52 basis points. On a fully tax
equivalent basis, yield on earning assets decreased from 5.09% in 2011 to 4.56% in 2012.
Average interest bearing liabilities increased by $1,745,000 in 2012, as compared to 2011. Within the categories of interest bearing
liabilities, deposits increased on average by $910,000, and borrowings increased by $835,000 on average. While interest-bearing
deposits increased only slightly in total, there was a shift in types of interest-bearing deposits. During 2012, time deposit balances
decreased on average by $10,161,000, while interest-bearing demand and savings accounts increased on average by $11,071,000.
This trend has been occurring over the previous several years. Management believes this is the consumers’ response to historical
low interest rates. In 2012, time deposits accounted for 53.3% of total interest-bearing deposits. Two years prior, time deposits
represented 61.6% of all interest-bearing deposits. Changes in total interest-bearing liabilities reduced interest expense by $162,000
in 2012 as compared to 2011, while decreases in interest rates further reduced interest expense by $782,000. Non-interest bearing
liabilities used to fund earning assets included demand deposits, which increased $4,238,000 on average. The percentage of interest
earning assets funded by non-interest bearing liabilities was approximately 19.6% in 2012 versus 18.8% in 2011. The total cost
to fund earning assets (computed by dividing the total interest expense by the total average earning assets) in 2012 was 0.88%, as
compared to 1.13% in 2011.
Net interest income was $14,522,000 for 2012, a decrease of $920,000 when compared to 2011, with $644,000 due to rate differences
and $276,000 attributed to volume changes.
Provision for Loan Losses
Juniata’s provision for loan losses is determined as a result of an analysis of the adequacy level of the allowance for loan losses. In
order to closely reflect the potential losses within the current loan portfolio based upon current information known, the Company
carries no unallocated allowance. An analysis was performed following the process described in “Application of Critical Accounting
Policies” earlier in this discussion, and it was determined that a provision of $1,411,000 was appropriate for 2012, an increase of
$1,047,000 when compared to 2011 when the total loan loss provision was $364,000. The increased provision was primarily the
result of analysis of the values of collateral securing certain impaired loans. Discussion included in the Loans and Allowance for
Loan Losses in the section below titled “Financial Condition” explains the information and analysis used to arrive at the significant
increase in the provision. In 2012, the provision exceeded net charge-offs by $350,000.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Non-interest Income
The Company remains committed to providing comprehensive services and products to meet the current and future financial needs
of our customers. We believe that our responsiveness to customers’ needs surpasses that of our competitors, and we measure our
success by the customer acceptance of fee-based services. We continually explore avenues to enhance product offerings in areas
beneficial to customers. In 2012, we broadened opportunities for home-buyers by introducing a secondary market lending program.
Additionally, new features and services have been added for our electronic banking clientele. We provide alternative investment
opportunities through an arrangement with a broker dealer and have integrated the delivery of non–traditional products with our
Trust and Wealth Management Division. This arrangement enables us to meet the investment needs of a varied customer base and
to better identify our clients’ needs for traditional trust services.
Fee-generated non-interest revenues consist of customer service fees derived from deposit accounts, trust relationships and sales of
non-deposit products. In 2012, revenues from these services totaled $2,014,000, representing a slight increase of $7,000, or 0.3%,
from 2011 revenues. Customer service fees derived from deposit accounts were $64,000 less in 2012 than in 2011. The decrease was
a result of a reduction in overdraft and non-sufficient fund charges to customers. Total fees for trust services decreased by $9,000, or
2.3%, as fees from estate settlements increased by $2,000 in 2012 as compared to 2011, and non-estate fees decreased by $11,000.
Variance in fees from estate settlements occurs because estate settlements occur sporadically and are not necessarily consistent year
to year. Non-estate fees are repeatable revenues that generally increase and decrease in relation to movements in interest rates as
market values of trust assets under management increase or decrease and as new relationships are established. Commissions from
sales of non-deposit products increased in 2012, resulting in an $80,000 increase in related fee income.
The Company owns 39.16% of the stock of Liverpool Community Bank, (“LCB”) and accounts for its ownership through the equity
method. As such, 39.16% of the income of LCB is recorded by Juniata as non-interest income. As a result of this investment, $249,000
was recorded as income in 2012, compared to $263,000 in 2011. Earnings on bank-owned life insurance and annuities decreased in
2012 by $28,000, or 5.9%, when compared to the previous year, as crediting rates are reduced.
In 2012, net gains resulting from calls of investment securities were $2,000, a decrease of $4,000 in comparison to 2011.
As a percentage of average assets, non-interest income (excluding securities gains and impairment charges) was 1.01% in 2012 as
compared to 0.88% in 2011.
Non-interest Expense
Management strives to control non-interest expense where possible in order to achieve maximum operating results.
In 2012, total non-interest expense increased by $275,000, or 2.1%, when compared to 2011. Total employee compensation and
benefits increased by $342,000, or 4.9% in 2012 over 2011. While total salary expense in 2012 was decreased by $68,000 when
compared to salary expense in 2011, the cost to provide medical insurance to employees increased by approximately $194,000,
and defined benefit expense increased by $244,000. FDIC insurance premiums for the Bank were reduced in 2012 by $42,000 as
compared to 2011 as the full year benefit of the revised FDIC insurance premium formula was realized during 2012. The calculation
changed mid-year in 2011 and the premiums for banks are now based upon total assets and risk-based capital levels so that banks such
as Juniata Valley Bank with lower levels of risk in the balance sheet are charged at a lower rate. Director compensation costs were
$50,000, or 17.7%, lower in 2012 as compared to 2011, as a result of retirements of board and advisory board members. Professional
fees decreased by $100,000 in 2012 as compared to 2011 due to the decreased use of various consultants and attorneys during 2012.
Other non-interest expense categories that increased in 2012 included losses realized on the sales of foreclosed properties, which
added $90,000 to expense, but was partially offset by a reduction in delinquent and foreclosed loan costs, included in other non-
interest expense, of $27,000 when compared to 2011.
As a percentage of average assets, non-interest expense was 2.88% in 2012 as compared to 2.86% in 2011.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for 2012 amounted to $978,000 compared to $1,542,000 in 2011. The effective tax rate was 21.1% in 2012
versus 24.8% in 2011, as tax-exempt income as a percentage of income before tax increased to 30.1% in 2012 from 22.9% in 2011.
Average tax-exempt investments and loans as a percentage of average assets were 12.2%, 10.6% and 10.9% in 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on income taxes.

Outlook for 2013
Since December of 2008, the national prime rate has remained at 3.25% and the federal funds rate has remained at a historically low
level. This period is the longest period of unchanged rates in recent history. Still, we expect, and are prepared for the interest rate
environment to remain relatively unchanged again throughout 2013. However, because experience also tells us that rate movement
can occur quickly and significantly, we are managing our interest sensitive assets and liabilities with an understanding of the rate
risk involved with rapidly rising rates. We enter 2013 expecting that the level of non-performing assets will stabilize, and that the
large specific provisioning in our loan loss reserve that adversely affected the financial performance in 2012 is behind us. Our net
interest margin remains a primary component of profitability; however, we have sought and continue to seek to focus on fee services,
including an attempt to regain income lost to consumer regulation that lessens our ability to charge for consumer overdrafts, in order
to augment revenues. We will maintain the conservative lending and investing philosophies and responsible deposit pricing that have
resulted in our healthy net interest margin and solid balance sheet.
Also necessary to our success is the satisfaction level of our customers, clients and employees. In each of the preceding two years,
we have introduced new avenues of service delivery through technology, such as an on-line mortgage application portal, a mobile
banking application for the IPad and other electronic tablets to complement our smart phone apps, internal and external transfers of
funds features through on-line banking and merchant remote deposit, to name a few. We are looking forward to further advancement
in 2013 as we realign our physical and human resources to accommodate customer preferences and modernize a branch location in
line with more efficient technology and our new branding. The modernization will include the installation of a state-of-the-art video
drive-thru facility and a highly functional ATM. We believe that it is imperative that our customers have convenient and easy access
to personal financial services that complement their changing lifestyles, whether through electronic or personal delivery. Convenience
and mobility have become priorities for a large segment of the population in deciding with whom one will do business, and thus we
have made it our priority to provide such convenience.
Additionally, in 2013, our business development plan continues to expand and will include more horizontal integration, extending
the opportunities for cross selling across departmental lines. We strive to be the financial services provider of choice to those within
our market area. Our marketing efforts will be increased to reach a larger cross-section of our market, with a new branding that is
designed to create fresh awareness of our Bank.
Management is aware of the challenges facing us in the coming year. We are positioned to reward our stockholders with a good return
on their investment in our Company while maintaining strong capital and liquidity levels, and intend to remain in that position. The
confidence of our stockholders and the trust of our community are vital to our ongoing success.

Net Interest Income
On average, total loans outstanding in 2011 decreased from 2010 by 4.5%, to $293,319,000. Average yields on loans decreased by
27 basis points in 2011 when compared to 2010. As shown in the preceding Rate – Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income Table
2, the decrease in yield reduced interest income by approximately $814,000, and the decrease in volume further reduced interest
income by $866,000, resulting in an aggregate decrease in interest recorded on loans of $1,680,000. While the prime rate has
remained unchanged at 3.25% since December of 2008, adjustable rate mortgages scheduled to reprice during 2011 that had not
already reached a floor, did so at rates below their previous rates, effectively decreasing the overall yield to the Bank. Likewise, new
and refinanced loans at lower rates during 2011 also contributed to the decrease in overall yield.
During 2011, 70% of the investment portfolio, or $56,034,000, matured or was prepaid. All proceeds from these events and
other funds available through deposit growth, totaling $87,131,000, were reinvested in the investment portfolio in the lower rate
environment, explaining the decrease in overall yield of the investment securities by 50 basis points. Yields on the investment
securities portfolio decreased to 2.05% in 2011, as compared to 2.55% in 2010. Yield declines decreased net interest income by
$344,000 when compared to 2010. Average balances of investment securities increased by $26,368,000, and this volume increase
accounted for a $496,000 increase in interest income as compared to 2010.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In total, yield on earning assets in 2011 was 4.91% as compared to 5.42% in 2010, a decrease of 51 basis points. On a fully tax
equivalent basis, yield on earning assets decreased from 5.62% in 2010 to 5.09% in 2011.
Average interest bearing liabilities increased by $3,371,000 in 2011 as compared to 2010. Within the categories of interest bearing
liabilities, deposits increased on average by $6,790,000, and borrowings decreased by $3,419,000 on average. While interest-bearing
deposits increased in total, there was a shift in types of interest-bearing deposits. During 2011, time deposit balances decreased
on average by $12,177,000 while interest-bearing demand and savings accounts increased on average by $18,967,000. Changes in
these balances reduced interest expense by $234,000 in 2011 as compared to 2010, while decreases in interest rates further reduced
interest expense by $677,000. Non-interest bearing liabilities used to fund earning assets included demand deposits, which increased
$5,330,000 on average. The percentage of interest earning assets funded by non-interest bearing liabilities was approximately 17.1%
in 2011 versus 17.6% in 2010. The total cost to fund earning assets (computed by dividing the total interest expense by the total
average earning assets) in 2010 was 1.13%, as compared to 1.38% in 2010.
Net interest income was $15,442,000 for 2011, a decrease of $630,000 when compared to 2010, with $493,000 due to rate differences
and $137,000 attributed to volume changes.
Provision for Loan Losses
Management performed an analysis of the loan portfolio following the process described in “Application of Critical Accounting
Policies” earlier in this discussion, and management determined that a provision of $364,000 was appropriate for 2011, a decrease
of $377,000 when compared to 2010 when the total loan loss provision was $741,000. In 2011, the provision exceeded net charge-
offs by $107,000. The economic downturn caused a number of our borrowers to develop financial difficulties that have resulted in
a higher loan loss provision and an increase in net charge-offs.
Non-interest Income
In 2011, revenues from deposit accounts, trust relationships and sales of non-deposit products totaled $2,007,000, representing a
decrease of $157,000, or 7.3%, from 2010 revenues. Customer service fees derived from deposit accounts were $82,000 less in 2011
than in 2010. The decrease was a result of a reduction in overdraft and non-sufficient fund charges to customers. Total fees for trust
services increased by $10,000, or 2.6%, as fees from estate settlements increased by $12,000 in 2011 as compared to 2010, and non-
estate fees decreased by $2,000. Variance in fees from estate settlements occurs because estate settlements occur sporadically and
are not necessarily consistent year to year. Non-estate fees are repeatable revenues that generally increase and decrease in relation
to movements in interest rates as market values of trust assets under management increase or decrease and as new relationships
are established. Similarly, sales of non-deposit products declined in 2011 due to continued investor concerns during the sustained
economic downturn, resulting in an $85,000 reduction in related fee income.
As a result of the Company’s investment in LCB, $263,000 was recorded as income in 2011, compared to $250,000 in 2010.
Earnings on bank-owned life insurance and annuities decreased in 2011 by $32,000, or 6.3%, when compared to the previous year,
as crediting rates were reduced.
In 2011, net gains from the sale or call of investment securities were $6,000, a decrease of $25,000 in comparison to 2010. In 2010,
we recorded an impairment charge of $40,000 relating to investments in the common stock of certain financial services companies.
There was no similar charge in 2011.
As a percentage of average assets, non-interest income (excluding securities gains and impairment charges) was 0.88% in both 2011
and in 2010.

Non-interest Expense
In 2011, total non-interest expense increased by $161,000, or 1.3%, when compared to 2010. Total employee compensation and
benefits increased by 4.9% in 2011 over 2010. In addition to increased costs related to normal merit increases, staffing was increased
to fill vacancies created in 2010. Additionally, the cost to provide medical insurance to employees increased by approximately
$60,000, and one-time severance-related costs added approximately $72,000. FDIC insurance premiums for the Bank were reduced
in 2011 by $165,000 as the FDIC’s calculation changed mid-year in 2011. The premiums for banks are now based upon total assets
and risk-based capital levels so that banks such as Juniata Valley Bank with lower levels of risk in the balance sheet are charged at
a lower rate. Director compensation costs were $51,000, or 15.2%, lower in 2011 as compared to 2010, as a result of retirements of
board and advisory board members. Professional fees decreased by $53,000 in 2011 as compared to 2010 due to the decreased use
of various consultants during 2011. Other non-interest expense categories that increased in 2011 included delinquent and foreclosed
loan costs, which added $37,000 to expense, when compared to 2010.
Gains from the sale of properties held as other real estate totaled $79,000 in 2010, while a net gain of $56,000 occurred in 2011
from similar activity.
As a percentage of average assets, non-interest expense was 2.86% in 2011 and 2.88% in 2010.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for 2011 amounted to $1,542,000 compared to $1,630,000 in 2010. The effective tax rate was 24.8% in 2011
versus 24.9% in 2010, as tax-exempt income as a percentage of income before tax remained relatively the same in both years.
Average tax-exempt investments and loans as a percentage of average assets were 10.6%, 10.9% and 10.3% in 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on income taxes.

Overall, total assets increased by $6,734,000, or 1.5%, on average, for the year 2012 compared to 2011, following an increase of
$8,193,000, or 1.9%, in 2011 over average assets in 2010. The ratio of average earning assets to total assets was consistently 91%
in each of the last three years, while the ratio of average interest-bearing liabilities to total assets dropped from 75% in 2010 to 74%
in 2011 and then further to 73% in 2012. Although Juniata’s investment in its unconsolidated subsidiary and its bank owned life
insurance and annuities are not classified as interest-earning assets, income is derived directly from those assets. These instruments
have represented 3.9% and 3.8% of total average assets in 2012 and 2011, respectively. More detailed discussion of Juniata’s
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities will follow in sections titled “Loans”, “Investments”, “Deposits” and “Market/Interest
Rate Risk”.

The loan portfolio was comprised of approximately 57% consumer loans and 43% commercial loans (including construction) on
December 31, 2012 as compared to 63% consumer loans and 37% commercial loans on December 31, 2011. Management believes
that diversification in the loan portfolio is important and performs a loan concentration analysis on a quarterly basis. The highest
loan concentration by activity type was commercial real estate loans secured by income-producing property whose debt service
is reliant upon performance of that property. In the aggregate, loans in this category had outstanding balances of $16,949,000 at
December 31, 2012, or 37.4% of capital. Components of this concentration group with balances considered for general reserve
purposes are as follows:
Operators of apartment buildings
Operators of dwellings other than apartments
Hotels and motels

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
During 2012, there was growth in the commercial real estate and construction lines of business, as well as loans to political sub-
divisions. This growth was largely offset by the decrease in mortgages and personal loans, as the secondary market offered more
appealing fixed rates and longer terms to borrowers. Although Juniata is willing, able and continues to lend to qualifying businesses
and individuals, management also believes that the economic climate impeded loan growth in 2011 and 2012, and was the primary
reason for its level of non-performing loans. Management further believes that we may continue to experience low growth and sustain
current levels of non-performing loans into 2013, if unemployment remains elevated. A dedicated credit administration division is
firmly in place within the Company, in response to the need for heightened credit review, both in the loan origination process and
in the ongoing risk assessment process. With stringent credit standards in place, our business model closely aligns lenders and com-
munity office managers’ efforts to effectively develop referrals and existing customer relationships. Continued emphasis is placed
on responsiveness and personal attention given to customers, which we believe differentiates the Bank from its competition. Nearly
all commercial loans and most residential mortgage loans are either variable or adjustable rate loans, while other consumer loans
generally have fixed rates for the duration of the loan. Juniata’s lending strategy stresses quality growth, diversified by product.
A standardized credit policy is in place throughout the Company, and the credit committee of the Board of Directors reviews and
approves all loan requests for amounts that exceed management’s approval levels. The Company makes credit judgments based on
a customer’s existing debt obligations, collateral, ability to pay and general economic trends. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Juniata strives to offer fair, competitive rates and to provide optimal service in order to attract loan growth. Emphasis will continue
to be placed upon attracting the entire customer relationship of our borrowers.
The loan portfolio carries the potential risk of past due, non-performing or, ultimately, charged-off loans. The Bank attempts to man-
age this risk through credit approval standards and aggressive monitoring and collection efforts. Where prudent, the Bank secures
commercial loans with collateral consisting of real and/or tangible personal property.
The allowance for loan losses has been established in order to absorb probable losses on existing loans. A quarterly provision or
credit is charged to earnings to maintain the allowance at adequate levels. Charge-offs and recoveries are recorded as adjustments to
the allowance. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 was 1.18% of total loans, net of unearned interest, as compared
to 1.01% of total loans, net of unearned interest, at the end of 2011. The allowance increased $350,000 when compared to December
31, 2011. Net charge-offs for 2012 and 2011 were 0.38% and 0.09% of average loans, respectively.
At December 31, 2012, non-performing loans (as defined in Table 4 below), as a percentage of the allowance for loan losses, were
292.2% as compared to 364.7% at December 31, 2011. Non-performing loans were 3.46% of loans as of December 31, 2012, and
3.69% of loans as of December 31, 2011. Management believes that the increase in nonperforming loans in 2011 and steady pace in
2012 is directly related to economic conditions leading to an increased number of borrowers being unable to repay debt according
to terms of the agreements. Of the $9,588,000 of non-performing loans at December 31, 2012, $9,395,000, or 98%, is collateralized
with real estate and $193,000 is collateralized with other assets.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is
generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or reasonable doubt exists
as to the full, timely collection of principal or interest. However, it is the Company’s policy to continue to accrue interest on loans
over 90 days past due as long as they are (1) guaranteed or well secured and (2) there is an effective means of collection. When
a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed against current period
income and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual
loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the
collectability of principal. Generally, accruals are resumed on loans only when the obligation is brought fully current with respect
to interest and principal, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate
collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The Company’s nonaccrual and charge-off policies
are the same, regardless of loan type. During 2012, gross interest income that would have been recorded if loans in nonaccrual status
had been current was $511,000, of which $39,000 was collected and included in net income.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The amount of allowance for loan losses is determined through a critical quantitative and qualitative analysis performed by management
that includes significant assumptions and estimates. It is maintained at a level deemed sufficient to absorb probable estimated losses
within the loan portfolio, and supported by detailed documentation. Critical to this analysis is any change in observable trends that
may be occurring, to assess potential credit weaknesses.
Management systematically monitors the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis to
provide for probable losses inherent in the portfolio. The Bank’s methodology for maintaining the allowance is highly structured
and contains two components; a component for loans that are deemed to be impaired and a component for contingencies.
Component for impaired loans:
A large commercial loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be
unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
A “large” loan (or group of like-loans within one relationship) is defined as a commercial/business loan (including business loans
secured by 1-4 family properties included in the real estate-mortgage category), with an aggregate outstanding balance in excess of
$150,000, or any other loan that management deems to have characteristics similar to those inherent in an impaired large loan. Factors
considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting
scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls
generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a
case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrower, including the length
of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal
and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value
of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For such loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the
discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that
loan. The Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans
are subject to a troubled debt restructuring agreement.
As of December 31, 2012, 25 loans, with aggregate outstanding balances of $7,662,000, were evaluated for impairment. A collateral
analysis was performed on each of these 25 loans in order to establish a portion of the reserve needed to carry impaired loans at no
higher than fair value. As a result, five loans were determined to have insufficient collateral and specific reserves were established for
each of the five impaired loans, totaling $1,127,000. The five loans requiring fair value adjustment relate to three loan relationships.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Component for contingencies:
A contingency is an existing condition, or set of circumstances, involving uncertainty as to possible gain or loss to the Company that
will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. These conditions may be considered in relation
to individual loans or in relation to groups of similar types of loans. If the conditions are met, a provision is made even though the
particular loans that are uncollectible may not be identifiable.
Initially, the loan portfolio is segmented into classes of loans with similar characteristics. In our portfolio, classes are:
• Commercial, financial and agricultural
• Real estate – commercial
• Real estate - construction
• Real estate – mortgage
• Obligations of states and political subdivisions
•
Personal
Loss rates for each of these portfolio classes are developed and applied to the outstanding balances of those classes. Individual loans
that have been classified as special mention or worse are reviewed individually for determination of the need for specific provision
based upon unique and identifiable circumstances. If an individual loan (not considered to be a “large impaired loan”) is assigned
a specific provision, that loan balance is excluded from the computation of the general provision for contingencies. Also excluded
from the contingency provision calculation are loans identified as “large impaired loans”.
Contingency allowance evaluation consists of several key elements. The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources,
guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated quarterly or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan
payments. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans
classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential
weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have one or more well-defined
weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth
and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent
in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions
and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan
losses. Loans not classified are rated pass. Specific reserves may be established for larger, individual classified loans as a result of
this evaluation, as discussed above. Remaining loans are categorized into large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans and
are collectively evaluated for impairment. This computation is generally based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative
factors. The historical loss experience is averaged over a ten-year period for each of the portfolio segments. The ten-year timeframe
was selected in order to capture activity over a wide range of economic conditions and has been consistently used for the past six
years. The qualitative risk factors are reviewed for relevancy each quarter and include:
1. National, regional and local economic and business conditions, as well as the condition of various market segments,
including the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans;
2. Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans;
3. Experience, ability and depth of lending and credit management and staff;
4. Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans, as well as other loan modifications;
5. Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and
6. Effect of external factors, including competition.
Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using
relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of
changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
A summary of activity in the allowance for loan loss for the last five years (in thousands) is shown below. At $1,061,000, the level
of net charge-offs in 2012 was the highest in the most recent three year period. While non-performing loans have decreased slightly
from 2011, management recognized the need to maintain a higher reserve for losses that could occur based on the recent charge-
off trend. Management’s analysis indicated that an adequate loan loss allowance would be $3,281,000 at December 31, 2012 and,
accordingly, a provision of $1,411,000 was recorded in 2012, as compared to the $364,000 recorded in 2011.

On average, investments increased by $17,040,000, or 14.9%, during 2012, following an increase of $23,877,000, or 26.3%, during
2011. The increase in both years was due to deposit growth outpacing loan growth with the excess funding invested in short-term
debt securities.
The investment area is managed according to internally established guidelines and quality standards. Juniata segregates its investment
securities portfolio into two classifications: those held to maturity and those available for sale. Juniata classifies all new marketable
investment securities as available for sale, and currently holds no securities in the held to maturity classification. At December 31,
2012, the market value of the entire securities portfolio was greater than amortized cost by $1,185,000 as compared to December 31,
2011, when market value was greater than amortized cost by $1,221,000. The weighted average maturity of the investment portfolio
was 3.7 years on December 31, 2012 versus 3 years and 5 months on December 31, 2011. The weighted average maturity has remained
short in order to achieve a desired level of liquidity. Table 5, “Maturity Distribution”, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition shows the remaining maturity or earliest possible repricing for investment securities. The following table
sets forth the maturities of securities (in thousands) and the weighted average yields of such securities by contractual maturities or
call dates. Yields on obligations of states and public subdivisions are presented on a tax-equivalent basis.

Bank Owned Life Insurance and Annuities
The Company periodically insures the lives of certain bank officers in order to provide split-dollar life insurance benefits to some
key officers and to offset the cost of providing post-retirement benefits through non-qualified plans. Some annuities are also owned
to provide cash streams that match certain post-retirement liabilities. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary
The Company owns 39.16% of the outstanding common stock of Liverpool Community Bank, Liverpool, PA. This investment is
accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and was carried at $4,000,000 as of December 31, 2012. The investment is
evaluated quarterly for impairment. Any loss in value of the investment that is determined to be other than a temporary decline
would be recognized as a loss in the period in which such determination is made. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but
would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of LCB to
sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. The carrying amount at December 31, 2012
represented an increase of $204,000 when compared to December 31, 2011. In connection with this investment, two representatives
of Juniata serve on the Board of Directors of LCB.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In 2006, the Company acquired a branch office in Richfield, PA. Completing this purchase was in line with a strategic goal of the
Company to expand its base into contiguous market areas within rural Pennsylvania. Included in the purchase price of the branch
was goodwill of $2,046,000. Additionally, core deposit intangible was acquired and had carrying values of $164,000 and $209,000,
as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The core deposit intangible is being amortized over a ten-year
period on a straight-line basis. Goodwill is not being amortized, but is measured annually for impairment
Deferred Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset/liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards, if applicable. A valuation allowance is
established against deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets
will not become realizable. Management has determined that there was no need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1,137,000 and
$1,505,000, respectively, which was carried as a non-interest earning asset. The decrease of $368,000 was primarily the result of the
change in the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit plan, decreasing the net deferred tax asset by $296,000. The remainder
of the difference was due to the various other changes in gross temporary tax differences. See Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Other Non-interest Earning Assets
Other non-interest earning assets on average increased $53,000, or 0.2%, in 2012, after a decrease of $1,879,000, or 7.9%, in 2011.

Average deposits increased $5,148,000, or 1.3%, to $392,930,000 in 2012 following an increase in 2011 of $12,120,000, or 3.2%,
to $387,782,000. We believe that over the past two years, because of the market uncertainties that accompany uncertain economic
periods, investors have moved large quantities of available funds into safe, FDIC-insured banking institutions, such as ours. Generally
those depositors have placed their funds into liquid, transaction accounts, as is evidenced by the preceding table showing a 7.5%
increase in core transaction accounts in 2012, after a 13.6% increase in 2011. In 2011 and 2012, our interest-bearing depositors tended
to prefer shorter term, more liquid types of deposits, as average time deposits declined $10,161,000 and $12,120,000, respectively.
In 2011 and 2012, the federal funds target rate remained unchanged, at between zero and 0.25%. While many of our time depositors
shifted some of their funds to more liquid transaction accounts during 2012 and 2011, more time deposit customers opted for
longer-term certificates of deposit contracts, presumably to commit to longer terms in order to increase their yield. Of the total time
deposits at December 31, 2010, 47% were scheduled to mature within one year. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, 43% and 41%,
respectively, of time deposits were scheduled to mature within one year.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The consumer continues to have a need for transaction accounts, and the Bank is continuing to focus on that need in order to build
deposit relationships. Our products are geared toward low-cost convenience and ease for the customer. The Company’s strategy
is to aggressively seek to grow customer relationships by staying in touch with changing needs and new methods of connectivity,
resulting in attracting more of the deposit (and loan) market share.
Traditional banks such as ours have competition in the marketplace from many sources that directly compete with traditional banking
products. In keeping with our desire to provide our customers with a full array of financial services, we supplement the services
traditionally offered by our Trust Department by staffing our community offices with wealth management consultants that are licensed
and trained to sell variable and fixed rate annuities, mutual funds, stock brokerage services and long-term care insurance. Although
the sale of these products can reduce the Bank’s deposit levels, these products offer solutions for our customers that traditional
bank products cannot and allow us to more completely service our community. Fee income from the sale of non-deposit products
(primarily annuities and mutual funds) was $353,000 and $273,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing approximately 7.6%
and 5.5%, respectively, of total pre-tax income.
Other Interest Bearing Liabilities
Because Juniata funds its needs primarily with local deposits, high levels of debt are not necessary, as can be seen in the table below.
Occasionally, there is a need for short term, overnight borrowings that are temporary in nature, and there are instances where long-
term debt may be used in matched-funding arrangements for particular loans. Juniata’s average balances for all borrowings increased
in 2012 by $835,000 or 18.6%, following a decrease of $3,419,000 or 43.2%, in 2011 as compared to the immediate preceding
years. The decrease in 2011 average borrowings reflected the repayment of long-term debt during that year. The increase in 2012
was primarily due to the increase in repurchase agreement balances.

Through its noncontributory pension plan, the Company provides pension benefits to substantially all of its employees that were
employed as of December 31, 2007. Benefits are provided based upon an employee’s years of service and compensation through
December 31, 2012, when the pension plan was frozen to future service. ASC Topic 715 gives guidance on the allowable pension
expense that is recognized in any given year. In determining the appropriate amount of pension expense to recognize, Management
must make subjective assumptions relating to amounts and rates that are inherently uncertain. Please refer to Note 20 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stockholders’ Equity
Total stockholders’ equity increased by $577,000 in 2012, or 1.2%. The increase in stockholders’ equity resulted primarily from
net income of $3,648,000 and the decrease in unamortized expense related to the defined benefit retirement plan that was frozen
on December 31, 2012. Offsetting this increase were dividend distributions in excess of net income, the repurchase of stock into
treasury and the decrease in the level of unrealized security gains. The following table summarizes how the components of equity
(in thousands) changed annually in each of the last three years.

On average, stockholders’ equity in 2012 was $49,766,000, as compared to $50,355,000 in 2011. At December 31, 2012, Juniata
held 527,465 shares of stock in treasury at a cost of $10,200,000 as compared to 517,608 in 2011 at a cost of $10,033,000. These
increases are a result of the Company’s stock repurchase program (see Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Return on average equity decreased to 7.33% in 2012 from 9.29% in 2011.
The Company periodically repurchases shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program approved by the Board of
Directors. In September of 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 200,000 shares of its common
stock through its share repurchase program. The program will remain authorized until all approved shares are repurchased, unless
terminated by the Board of Directors. Repurchases have typically been through open market transactions and have complied with
all regulatory restrictions on the timing and amount of such repurchases. Shares repurchased have been added to treasury stock and
accounted for at cost. These shares may be periodically reissued for stock option exercises, employee stock purchase plan purchases
and to fulfill dividend reinvestment program needs. During 2012, 19,793 shares were repurchased in conjunction with the current
program. Remaining shares authorized for repurchase were 68,393 as of December 31, 2012.
In 2012, Juniata increased its regular dividend by 2.3%, to $0.88 per common share. Per share common regular dividends in prior
years were $0.86 and $0.82 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. (See Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding
restrictions on dividends from the Bank to the Company.) In January 2013, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.22 per
share for the first quarter of 2013 to stockholders of record on February 15, 2013, payable on March 1, 2013.
Juniata’s book value per share at December 31, 2012 was $11.92, as compared to $11.76 and $11.74 at December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. Juniata’s average equity to assets ratio for 2012, 2011 and 2010 was 10.96%, 11.26% and 11.54%, respectively. Refer
also to the Capital Risk section in the Asset / Liability management discussion that follows.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Asset / Liability Management Objectives
Management believes that optimal performance is achieved by maintaining overall risks at a low level. Therefore, the objective of
asset/liability management is to control risk and produce consistent, high quality earnings independent of changing interest rates.
The Company has identified five major risk areas discussed below:
Liquidity Risk
•
• Capital Risk
• Market / Interest Rate Risk
Investment Portfolio Risk
•
Economic Risk
•
Liquidity Risk
Through liquidity risk management, we seek to maintain our ability to readily meet commitments to fund loans, purchase assets and
other securities and repay deposits and other liabilities. This area also includes the ability to manage unplanned changes in funding
sources and recognize and address changes in market conditions that affect the quality of liquid assets. Juniata has developed a
methodology for assessing its liquidity risk through an analysis of its primary and total liquidity sources. Three types of liquidity
sources are (1) asset liquidity, (2) liability liquidity and (3) off-balance sheet liquidity.
Asset liquidity refers to assets that we are quickly able to convert into cash, consisting of cash, federal funds sold and securities.
Short-term liquid assets generally consist of federal funds sold and securities maturing over the next twelve months. The quality of
our short-term liquidity is very good: as federal funds are unimpaired by market risk and as bonds approach maturity, their value
moves closer to par value. Liquid assets tend to reduce earnings when there is not an immediate use for such funds, since normally
these assets generate income at a lower rate than loans or other longer-term investments.
Liability liquidity refers to funding obtained through deposits. The largest challenge associated with liability liquidity is cost.
Juniata’s ability to attract deposits depends primarily on several factors, including sales effort, competitive interest rates and other
conditions that help maintain consumer confidence in the stability of the financial institution. Large certificates of deposit, public
funds and brokered deposits are all acceptable means of generating and providing funding. If the cost is favorable or fits the overall
cost structure of the Bank, then these sources have many benefits. They are readily available, come in large block size, have investor-
defined maturities and are generally low maintenance.
Off-balance sheet liquidity is closely tied to liability liquidity. Sources of off-balance sheet liquidity include Federal Home Loan
Bank borrowings, repurchase agreements and federal funds lines with correspondent banks. These sources provide immediate
liquidity to the Bank. They are available to be deployed when a need arises. These instruments also come in large block sizes, have
investor-defined maturities and generally require low maintenance.
“Available liquidity” encompasses all three sources of liquidity when determining liquidity adequacy. It results from the Bank’s access
to short-term funding sources for immediate needs and long-term funding sources when the need is determined to be permanent.
Management uses both on-balance sheet liquidity and off-balance sheet liquidity to manage its liquidity position. The Company’s
liquidity strategy is to maintain an adequate volume of high quality liquid instruments to facilitate customer liquidity demands.
Management also maintains sufficient capital, which provides access to the liability and off-balance sheet sides of the balance sheet
for funding. An active knowledge of debt funding sources is important to liquidity adequacy.
Contingency funding management involves maintaining contingent sources of immediate liquidity. Management believes that it must
consider an array of available sources in terms of volume, maturity, cash flows and pricing. To meet demands in the normal course
of business or for contingency, secondary sources of funding such as public funds deposits, collateralized loans, sales of investment
securities or sales of loan receivables are considered.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
It is the Company’s policy to maintain both a primary liquidity ratio and a total liquidity ratio of at least 10% of total assets. The
primary liquidity ratio equals liquid assets divided by total assets, where liquid assets equal the sum of cash and due from banks,
federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits with other banks and available for sale securities. Total liquidity is comprised of all
components noted in primary liquidity plus securities classified as held-to-maturity, if any. If either of these liquidity ratios falls
below 10%, it is the Company’s policy to increase liquidity in a timely manner to achieve the required ratio.
It is the Company’s policy to maintain available liquidity at a minimum of 10% of total assets and contingency liquidity at a minimum
of 7.5% of total assets.
Juniata is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh, which provides short-term liquidity. The Bank uses this
vehicle to satisfy temporary funding needs throughout the year. The Company had overnight advances of $1,600,000 on December
31, 2012 and none on December 31, 2011.
The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB is $122,054,000 at December 31, 2012. In order to borrow an amount in
excess of $6,960,000, the FHLB would require the Bank to purchase additional FHLB Stock. The FHLB is a source of both short-
term and long-term funding. The Bank must maintain sufficient qualifying collateral, to secure all outstanding advances.
Juniata needs to have liquid resources available to fulfill contractual obligations that require future cash payments. The table below
summarizes the Company’s significant contractual obligations to third parties (in thousands of dollars), by type, that are fixed and
determined at December 31, 2012. Further discussion of the nature of each obligation is included in the referenced note to the

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Capital Risk
The Company maintains sufficient core capital to protect depositors and stockholders and to take advantage of business opportunities
while ensuring that it has resources to absorb the risks inherent in the business. Federal banking regulators have established capital
adequacy requirements for banks and bank holding companies based on risk factors, which require more capital backing for assets
with higher potential credit risk than assets with lower credit risk. All banks and bank holding companies are currently required
to have a minimum of 4% of risk adjusted assets in Tier I capital and 8% of risk adjusted assets in Total capital (Tier I and Tier
II capital). As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, Juniata’s Tier I capital ratio was 17.14% and 17.78%, respectively, and its Total
capital ratio was 18.28% and 18.83%, respectively. Additionally, banking organizations must maintain a minimum Tier I capital
to total average asset (leverage) ratio of 3%. This 3% leverage ratio is a minimum for the top-rated banking organizations without
any supervisory, financial or operational weaknesses or deficiencies. Other banking organizations are required to maintain leverage
capital ratios 100 to 200 basis points above the minimum depending on their financial condition. At December 31, 2012 and 2011,
Juniata’s leverage ratio was 10.96% and 11.16%, respectively, with a required leverage ratio of 4% (see Note 16 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).
The federal banking regulatory agencies have proposed implementing the Basel III capital standards. The Basel III proposals would
change required levels of capital and how bank calculate their regulatory capital and revise and harmonize the rules for calculating
risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity and address weaknesses that have been identified over the past several years. The
proposals would increase the minimum levels of required capital, narrow the definition of capital, and increase the risk weightings
of assets for various classes.
Specifically, fully phased-in capital standards under Basel III would require banks to maintain more capital than the minimum levels
required under current regulatory capital standards. The new requirements would (i) include a new minimum common equity Tier
1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets, (ii) raise the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio from 4.00% to 6.00% of risk-weighted
assets, (iii) retain the current minimum Total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and the minimum Tier 1 leverage capital
ratio at 4.00% of average assets and (iv) Introduce a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital
requirements; the capital conservation buffer must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary
bonus payments.
The new minimum regulatory capital requirements will be phased in from January 1, 2013 through January 1, 2016. The capital
conservation buffer will be phased in from January 1, 2016 through January 1, 2019. In November, 2012, U.S. Regulators delayed
the implementation of these provisions. As of December 31, 2012, the Corporation believes its current capital levels would meet the
fully-phased in minimum capital requirements, including capital conservation buffers, as proposed in the Basel III capital standards.
Market / Interest Rate Risk
Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. The types of
market risk exposures generally faced by financial institutions include equity market price risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency
risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations, only equity market price risk and interest rate risk are significant
to the Company.
Equity market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of equity investments could have a material impact on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company. The Company’s equity investments consist of common stocks of publicly traded
financial institutions.
Declines and volatility in the values of financial institution stocks have significantly reduced the likelihood of realizing significant
gains in the near-term. Although the Company has realized occasional gains from this portfolio in the past, the primary objective
of the portfolio is to achieve value appreciation in the long term while earning consistent attractive after-tax yields from dividends.
The carrying value of the financial institutions stocks accounted for 0.2% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2012.
Management performs an impairment analysis on the entire investment portfolio, including the financial institutions stocks on a
quarterly basis. In 2010, “other-than-temporary” impairment was identified and recorded on one stock. While no further “other-than-
temporary” impairment was identified in 2011 or 2012, there is no assurance that further declines in market values of the common
stock portfolio in the future will not result in subsequent “other-than-temporary” impairment charges, depending upon facts and
circumstances present.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The equity investments in the Corporation’s portfolio had an adjusted cost basis of approximately $985,000 and a fair value of
$1,019,000 at December 31, 2012. Net unrealized gains in this portfolio were $34,000 at December 31, 2012.
In addition to its equity portfolio, the Company’s investment management and trust services revenue could be impacted by fluctuations
in the securities markets. A portion of the Company’s trust revenue is based on the value of the underlying investment portfolios. If
securities values decline, the Company’s trust revenue could be negatively impacted.
Interest rate risk creates exposure in two primary areas. First, changes in rates have an impact on the Company’s liquidity position
and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow. Second, movements in interest rates can create fluctuations in
the Company’s net interest income and changes in the economic value of equity.
The primary objective of the Company’s asset-liability management process is to maximize current and future net interest income
within acceptable levels of interest rate risk while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain
amount of interest rate risk is inherent, appropriate and necessary to ensure profitability. A simulation analysis is used to assess
earnings and capital at risk from movements in interest rates. The model considers three major factors of (1) volume differences, (2)
repricing differences, and (3) timing in its income simulation. As of the most recent model run, data was disseminated into appropriate
repricing buckets, based upon the static position at that time. The interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities were assigned
a multiplier to simulate how much that particular balance sheet item would re-price when interest rates change. Finally, the estimated
timing effect of rate changes is applied, and the net interest income effect is determined on a static basis (as if no other factors were
present). As the table below indicates, based upon rate shock simulations on a static basis, the Company’s balance sheet is relatively
rate-neutral as rates decline. Each 100 basis point increase results in approximately $422,000 decline in net interest income in the
static environment. This negative effect of rising rates is offset to a large degree by the positive effect of imbedded options that
include loans floating above their floors and likely internal deposit pricing strategies. After applying the effects of options, over a
one-year period, the net effect of an immediate 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point rate increase would decrease net interest income by
$66,000, $109,000, $1,116,000 and $1,295,000, respectively. Rate shock modeling was done for a declining rate of 25 basis points
only, as the federal funds target rate currently is between zero and 0.25%. As the table below indicates, the net effect of interest rate
risk on net interest income is $68,000 in a declining rate environment. Juniata’s rate risk policies provide for maximum limits on
net interest income that can be at risk for 100 through 400 basis point changes in interest rates.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Table 5, presented below, illustrates the maturity distribution of the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities as of December
31, 2012. Earliest re-pricing opportunities for variable and adjustable rate products and scheduled maturities for fixed rate products
have been placed in the appropriate column to compute the cumulative sensitivity ratio (ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-
bearing liabilities). Securities with call features are treated as though the call date is the maturity date. Through one year, the cumulative
sensitivity ratio is 0.69, indicating a liability-sensitive balance sheet, when measured on a static basis.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Investment Portfolio Risk
Management considers its investment portfolio risk as the amount of appreciation or depreciation the investment portfolio will
sustain when interest rates change. The securities portfolio will decline in value when interest rates rise and increase in value when
interest rates decline. Securities with long maturities, excessive optionality (as a result of call features) and unusual indexes tend
to produce the most market risk during interest rate movements. Rate shocks of minus 100 and plus 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis
points were applied to the securities portfolio to determine how Tier 1 capital would be affected if the securities portfolio had to be
liquidated and all gains and losses were recognized. The test revealed that, as of December 31, 2012, the risk-based capital ratio
would remain adequate under these scenarios.
Economic Risk
Economic risk is the risk that the long-term or underlying value of the Company will change if interest rates change. Economic
value of equity (EVE) represents the change in the value of the balance sheet without regard to business continuity. Generally banks
are exposed to rising interest rates on an economic value of equity basis because of the inherent mismatch between longer duration
assets compared to shorter duration liabilities. Rate shocks are applied to all financial assets and liabilities, using parallel and non-
parallel rate shifts of 100 to 400 basis points to estimate the change in EVE under the various scenarios. As of December 31, 2012,
a non-parallel 200 basis point increase shock in rates produced an estimated 9.4% decline in EVE, indicating a stable value well
within Juniata’s policy guidelines.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has numerous off-balance sheet loan obligations that exist in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and letters of credit. Because many commitments
are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk that are not recognized in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company does not expect that these commitments will have an adverse effect on its liquidity position.
Exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend
credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses
the same credit policies in making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The Company had outstanding loan origination commitments aggregating $31,918,000 and $24,202,000 at December 31, 2012 and
2011, respectively. In addition, the Company had $11,246,000 and $13,831,000 outstanding in unused lines of credit commitments
extended to its customers at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Letters of credit are instruments issued by the Company that guarantee the beneficiary payment by the Bank in the event of default
by the Company’s customer in the non-performance of an obligation or service. Most letters of credit are extended for one-year
periods. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The amount of
the liability as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 for guarantees under letters of credit issued is not material.
The maximum undiscounted exposure related to these commitments at December 31, 2012 was $1,293,000, and the approximate
value of underlying collateral upon liquidation that would be expected to cover this maximum potential exposure was $999,000.
In 2009, the Company executed an agreement to obtain technology outsourcing services through an outside service bureau, and those
services began in June 2010. The agreement provides for termination fees if the Company cancels the services prior to the end of the
8-year commitment period. The termination fee would be an amount equal to one hundred percent of the estimated remaining value
of the terminated services if terminated in the first contract year, ninety percent of the estimated remaining value of the terminated
services if terminated in the second contract year, eighty percent and seventy percent of the remaining value of the terminated services
if terminated in the third and fourth contract years, respectively, and sixty percent of the remaining value of the terminated services
if terminated in contract years five through eight. Termination fees are estimated to be approximately $2,323,000 at December 31,
2012. Since the Company does not expect to terminate these services prior to the end of the commitment period, no liability has
been recorded at December 31, 2012.
The Company has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a
material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Effects of Inflation
The performance of a bank is affected more by changes in interest rates than by inflation; therefore, the effect of inflation is normally
not as significant as it is on other businesses and industries. During periods of high inflation, the money supply usually increases and
banks normally experience above average growth in assets, loans and deposits. A bank’s operating expenses may increase during
inflationary times as the price of goods and services increase.
A bank’s performance is also affected during recessionary periods. In times of recession, a bank usually experiences a tightening on
its earning assets and on its profits. A recession is usually an indicator of higher unemployment rates, which could mean an increase
in the number of nonperforming loans because of continued layoffs and other deterioration of consumers’ financial condition.

Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and as such, include some amounts
that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting.
The system of internal control over financial reporting, as it relates to the financial statements, is evaluated for effectiveness by
management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits and management testing and review. Actions are taken
to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent
limitations, including the possibility that a 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 effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly,
even an effective system of internal control will provide only a reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making
this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2012, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective and meets the criteria of the Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
The independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in the annual report
has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Effectiveness
of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Juniata Valley Financial Corp.
Mifflintown, Pennsylvania
We have audited Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary’s, The Juniata Valley Bank,
(the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included
in the accompanying Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness
of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the consolidated statements of financial condition of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and its wholly-
owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements
of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2012, and our report dated March 15, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Juniata Valley Financial
Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank, (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and
2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Juniata Valley Bank,
as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010
1. Nature Of OperatiONs
Juniata Valley Financial Corp. (“Juniata” or the “Company”) is a bank holding company operating in central Pennsylvania, for the
purpose of delivering financial services within its local market. Through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, The Juniata Valley
Bank (the “Bank”), Juniata provides retail and commercial banking and other financial services through 12 branch locations located
in Juniata, Mifflin, Perry and Huntingdon Counties. Additionally, in Mifflin and Centre Counties, the Company maintains two offices
for loan production and alternative investment sales. Each of the Company’s lines of business are part of the same reporting segment,
whose operating results are regularly reviewed and managed by a centralized executive management group. As a result, the Company
has only one reportable segment for financial reporting purposes. The Bank provides a full range of banking services including on-
line banking, an automatic teller machine network, checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts,
fixed rate certificates of deposit, club accounts, secured and unsecured commercial and consumer loans, construction and mortgage
loans, safe deposit facilities, credit loans with overdraft checking protection and student loans. The Bank also provides a variety of
trust services. The Company has a contractual arrangement with a broker-dealer to allow the offering of annuities, mutual funds,
stock and bond brokerage services and long-term care insurance to its local market. Most of the Company’s commercial customers
are small and mid-sized businesses operating in the Bank’s local service area. The Bank operates under a state bank charter and is
subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Juniata is subject
to regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking.
2. summary Of sigNificaNt accOuNtiNg pOlicies
The accounting policies of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary conform to accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general financial services industry practices. A summary of the more
significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary,
The Juniata Valley Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the
near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, goodwill valuation
and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities.
Basis of presentation
Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the consolidated financial statement presentation for
2012. The reclassification had no effect on net income.
Significant group concentrations of credit risk
Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located within the Juniata Valley region. Note 5 discusses the types of
securities in which the Company invests. Note 6 discusses the types of lending in which the Company engages.
As of December 31, 2012, there were no concentrations of credit to any particular industry equaling more than 25% of total
capital. The Bank’s business activities are geographically concentrated in the counties of Juniata, Mifflin, Perry, Huntingdon,
Centre, Franklin and Snyder, Pennsylvania. The Bank has a diversified loan portfolio; however, a substantial portion of its
debtors’ ability to honor their obligations is dependent upon the economy in central Pennsylvania.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing
demand deposits with banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
- 45 -
Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Interest bearing time deposits with banks
Interest-bearing time deposits with banks consist of certificates of deposits in other banks with maturities within one year to
three years.
Securities
Securities classified as available for sale, which include marketable investment securities, are stated at fair value, with the
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Securities classified as
available for sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to
maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant
movement in interest rates, changes in maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital
considerations and other similar factors. Investment securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold until
maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions are classified as
held to maturity and are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount computed by the interest
method over their contractual lives. Interest and dividends on investment securities available for sale and held to maturity are
recognized as income when earned. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over
the terms of the securities. Gains or losses on the disposition of securities available for sale are based on the net proceeds and
the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, determined on a specific identification basis. The Company has no securities
classified as held to maturity at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The Company’s policy requires quarterly reviews of impaired securities. This review includes analyzing the length of time
and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer,
including any specific events which may influence the issuer’s ability to meet its obligations. In addition, for debt securities,
the Company considers whether (a) management has the intent to sell the security, (b) it is more likely than not that we will be
required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery and (c) management expects to recover the entire amortized cost
basis. If the Company does not intend to sell the debt security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to
sell the debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered other than temporarily impaired unless there is a
credit loss. The credit loss is reflected in earnings, with the remaining loss reflected in other comprehensive income. For equity
securities, management considers the intent and ability to hold securities until recovery of unrealized losses. If a decline in fair
value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of equity securities is reduced to fair value with a charge to earnings.
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation
as of each balance sheet date.
Restricted Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The Bank owns restricted stock investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank. Federal law requires a member institution of the
Federal Home Loan Bank to hold stock according to a predetermined formula. The stock is carried at cost.
Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment on an annual basis. Management’s determination of whether these
investments are impaired is based on management’s assessment of the ultimate recoverability of the cost of these investments
rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability
of the cost of these investments is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as
compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the
FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance
of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of
the FHLB.
Management believes no impairment charge was necessary related to the FHLB restricted stock during 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the
outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of any deferred fees or costs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income on all
loans, other than nonaccrual loans, is accrued over the term of the loans based on the amount of principal outstanding. Unearned
income is amortized to income over the life of the loans, using the interest method.
The loan portfolio is segmented into commercial and consumer loans. Commercial loans are comprised of the following
classes of loans: (1) commercial, financial and agricultural, (2) commercial real estate, (3) real estate construction, a portion of
(4) mortgage loans and (5) obligations of states and political subdivisions. Consumer loans are comprised of a portion of (4)
mortgage loans and (6) personal loans.
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-accrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans
is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or reasonable
doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of principal or interest. However, it is the Company’s policy to continue to accrue
interest on loans over 90 days past due as long as they are (1) guaranteed or well secured and (2) there is an effective means
of collection in process. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all unpaid interest credited to income in the current
year is reversed against current period income and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for
loan losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income,
according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, accruals are resumed on loans only when
the obligation is brought fully current with respect to interest and principal, has performed in accordance with the contractual
terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer
in doubt.
The Company originates loans in the portfolio with the intent to hold them until maturity. At the time the Company no longer
intends to hold loans to maturity based on asset/liability management practices, the Company transfers loans from its portfolio
to held for sale at fair value. Any write-down recorded upon transfer is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Any write-
downs recorded after the initial transfers are recorded as a charge to other non-interest expense. Gains or losses recognized upon
sale are included in other non-interest income.
The Company also originates residential mortgage loans with the intent to sell. These individual loans are normally funded
by the buyer immediately. The Company maintains servicing rights on these loans, and the fair value of the servicing rights is
carried as a component of other assets. Servicing rights are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Loan origination fees and costs
Loan origination fees and related direct origination costs for a given loan are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan
on a level-yield basis as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the loan. As of December 31, 2012 and
2011, the amount of net unamortized origination fees carried as an adjustment to outstanding loan balances was $42,000 and
$83,000, respectively.
Allowance for credit losses
The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.
The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of
the consolidated statement of financial condition date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending
commitments represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in its unfunded lending commitments and is recorded in
other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition, when necessary. The amount of the reserve for unfunded
lending commitments is not material to the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the
provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against
the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
For financial reporting purposes, the provision for loan losses charged to current operating income is based on management’s
estimates, and actual losses may vary from estimates. These estimates are reviewed and adjusted at least quarterly and are
reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.

Loans included in any class are considered for charge-off when:
•
•
•
•
•
principal or interest has been in default for 120 days or more and for which no payment has been received during the
previous four months;
all collateral securing the loan has been liquidated and a deficiency balance remains;
a bankruptcy notice is received for an unsecured loan;
a confirming loss event has occurred; or
the loan is deemed to be uncollectible for any other reason.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to offset probable losses on the Company’s existing
loans. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses relies heavily on changes in observable trends that may indicate potential
credit weaknesses. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank’s past loan loss
experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the
estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant
factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision
as more information becomes available.
In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance
for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments
about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management.
Based on management’s comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the level of the allowance for loan
losses as of December 31, 2012 was adequate.
There are two components of the allowance: a specific component for loans that are deemed to be impaired; and a general
component for contingencies.
A large commercial loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank
will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. (A “large” loan, or group of like-loans within one relationship, is defined as a commercial/business loan, including
business loans secured by 1-4 family properties included in the real estate-mortgage category, with an aggregate outstanding
balance in excess of $150,000, or any other loan that management deems to have similar characteristics to an impaired large loan).
Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of
collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment
shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment
shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrower,
including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall
in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial segment loans
by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The estimated fair values of substantially all
of the Company’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. For commercial loans
secured with real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured
loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This
decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the
current appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values may be discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price
of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include the estimated costs to sell the
property. For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s
financial statements, inventory reports, aging accounts receivable, equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from
these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. For such loans
that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable
market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The Bank generally does not separately identify
individual consumer segment loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement.
Loans whose terms are modified are classified as troubled debt restructurings if the Company grants such borrowers concessions
and it is deemed that those borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty. Concessions granted under a troubled debt restructuring
generally involve a below-market interest rate based on the loan’s risk characteristics or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity
date. Nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings are restored to accrual status if principal and interest payments, under the modified
terms, are current for a sustained period of time after modification. Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are designated
as impaired.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The component of the allowance for contingencies relates to other loans that have been segmented into risk rated categories.
The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated
quarterly or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory
classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention have potential
weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration
of the repayment prospects. Loans classified as substandard have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the
liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans include loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans
classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and
facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan
losses. Loans not classified are rated pass. Specific reserves may be established for larger, individual classified loans as a result
of this evaluation, as discussed above. Remaining loans are categorized into large groups of smaller balance homogeneous
loans and are collectively evaluated for impairment. This computation is generally based on historical loss experience adjusted
for qualitative factors. The historical loss experience is averaged over a ten-year period for each of the portfolio segments.
The ten-year timeframe was selected in order to capture activity over a wide range of economic conditions and has been
consistently used for the past six years. The qualitative risk factors are reviewed for relevancy each quarter and include:
• National, regional and local economic and business conditions, as well as the condition of various market segments,
including the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans;
Experience, ability and depth of lending and credit management and staff;
• Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans;
•
• Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans, as well as other loan modifications;
•
•
Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and
Effect of external factors, including competition.
Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using
relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation
of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation.
Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Lending
The Company originates commercial, financial and agricultural loans primarily to businesses located in its primary market
area and surrounding areas. These loans are used for various business purposes, which include short-term loans and lines of
credit to finance machinery and equipment purchases, inventory and accounts receivable. Generally, the maximum term for
loans extended on machinery and equipment is shorter and does not exceed the projected useful life of such machinery and
equipment. Most business lines of credit are written with a five year maturity, subject to an annual review.
Commercial loans are generally secured with short-term assets; however, in many cases, additional collateral, such as real
estate, is provided as additional security for the loan. Loan-to-value maximum values have been established by the Company
and are specific to the type of collateral. Collateral values may be determined using invoices, inventory reports, accounts
receivable aging reports, collateral appraisals, etc.
In underwriting commercial loans, an analysis of the borrower’s character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the
borrower’s capital and collateral, as well as an evaluation of conditions affecting the borrower, is performed. Analysis of the
borrower’s past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of the Company’s analysis.
Concentration analysis assists in identifying industry specific risk inherent in commercial, financial and agricultural lending.
Mitigants include the identification of secondary and tertiary sources of repayment and appropriate increases in oversight.
Commercial, financial and agricultural loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly
during slow economic conditions.

Commercial Real Estate Lending
The Company engages in commercial real estate lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s
commercial real estate portfolio is secured primarily by residential housing, commercial buildings, raw land and hotels.
Generally, commercial real estate loans have terms that do not exceed 20 years, have loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% of the
appraised value of the property and are typically secured by personal guarantees of the borrowers.
As economic conditions deteriorate, the Company reduces its exposure in real estate loans with higher risk characteristics. In
underwriting these loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s
credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan. Appraisals on
properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company are performed by independent appraisers.
Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly during slow
economic conditions.
Real Estate Construction Lending
The Company engages in real estate construction lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s
real estate construction lending consists of commercial and residential site development loans, as well as commercial building
construction and residential housing construction loans.
The Company’s commercial real estate construction loans are generally secured with the subject property, and advances are
made in conformity with a pre-determined draw schedule supported by independent inspections. Terms of construction loans
depend on the specifics of the project, such as estimated absorption rates, estimated time to complete, etc.
In underwriting commercial real estate construction loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition
of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the project using
feasibility studies, market data, etc. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans originated by the Company
are performed by independent appraisers.
Real estate construction loans generally present a higher level of risk than certain other types of loans, particularly during slow
economic conditions. The difficulty of estimating total construction costs adds to the risk as well.
Mortgage Lending
The Company’s real estate mortgage portfolio is comprised of consumer residential mortgages and business loans secured by
one-to-four family properties. One-to-four family residential mortgage loan originations, including home equity installment
and home equity lines of credit loans, are generated by the Company’s marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in
customers and referrals. These loans originate primarily within the Company’s market area or with customers primarily from
the market area.
The Company offers fixed-rate and adjustable rate mortgage loans with terms up to a maximum of 25-years for both permanent
structures and those under construction. The Company’s one-to-four family residential mortgage originations are secured
primarily by properties located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The majority of the Company’s residential
mortgage loans originate with a loan-to-value of 80% or less. Home equity installment loans are secured by the borrower’s
primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 80% and a maximum term of 15 years. Home equity lines of credit are
secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of 90% and a maximum term of 20 years.
In underwriting one-to-four family residential real estate loans, the Company evaluates the borrower’s ability to make monthly
payments, the borrower’s repayment history and the value of the property securing the loan. The ability to repay is determined
by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions, and credit background. The analysis is based primarily on
the customer’s ability to repay and secondarily on the collateral or security. Most properties securing real estate loans made
by the Company are appraised by independent fee appraisers. The Company generally requires mortgage loan borrowers to
obtain an attorney’s title opinion or title insurance, and fire and property insurance (including flood insurance, if necessary) in
an amount not less than the amount of the loan. The Company does not engage in sub-prime residential mortgage originations.
Residential mortgage loans and home equity loans generally present a lower level of risk than certain other types of consumer
loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence.

Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions
The Company lends to local municipalities and other tax-exempt organizations. These loans are primarily tax-anticipation
notes and, as such, carry little risk. Historically, the Company has never had a loss on any loan of this type.
Personal Lending
The Company offers a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans, including vehicle loans, mobile home loans and loans
secured by savings deposits as well as other types of personal loans.
Personal loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral and creditworthiness of the borrower. In underwriting
personal loans, a thorough analysis of the borrower’s willingness and financial ability to repay the loan as agreed is performed.
The ability to repay is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions and credit background.
Personal loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of personal loans which
are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles or recreational equipment. In such cases, any
repossessed collateral for a defaulted personal loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan
balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, personal loan collections are dependent
on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and, thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount
which can be recovered on such loans.
Other real estate owned
Assets acquired in settlement of mortgage loan indebtedness are recorded as other real estate owned (OREO) at fair value less
estimated costs to sell, establishing a new cost basis. Costs to maintain the assets and subsequent gains and losses attributable
to their disposal are included in other expense as realized. No depreciation or amortization expense is recognized. At December
31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value of other real estate owned was $428,000 and $427,000, respectively.
Goodwill and intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible
assets represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be separately distinguished from goodwill because of
contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination
with a related contract, asset or liability. It is the Company’s policy that goodwill be tested at least annually for impairment.
Premises and equipment and depreciation
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally using the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment
and 25 to 50 years for buildings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred. Costs of
major additions and improvements are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed by straight line over
the shorter of the assets’ useful life or the related lease term.
Trust assets and revenues
Assets held in a fiduciary capacity are not assets of the Bank or the Bank’s Trust Department and are, therefore, not included
in the consolidated financial statements. Trust revenues are recorded on the accrual basis.
Bank owned life insurance, annuities and split-dollar arrangements
The cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance and annuities is carried as an asset, and changes in cash surrender value
are recorded as non-interest income.
GAAP requires split-dollar life insurance arrangements to have a liability recognized related to the postretirement benefits
covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The accrued benefit liability was $738,000 and $709,000 as
of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Related expenses for 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $29,000, $49,000 and $39,000,
respectively.

Investments in low-income housing partnerships
The Company’s investments in low-income housing partnerships are accounted for using the “equity method” prescribed by
ASC Topic 323. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, tax credits are recognized as they become available. Any residual loss is
amortized as the tax credits are received.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.
Current income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income
tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the
taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or
balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences
between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period
in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of the evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position
will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent;
the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax
position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount
of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has
full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-
not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to
management’s judgment.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes, if any, as a component of income tax expense.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising expenses were $172,000,
$144,000 and $127,000 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments
to extend credit and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet when they are
funded.
Transfer of financial assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred
assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right
(free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the
Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their
maturity.

Stock-based compensation
The Company sponsors a stock option plan for certain key officers. Compensation expense for stock options granted is
measured using the fair value of the award on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period. The Company recognized
$25,000, $26,000 and $58,000 of expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for stock-based
compensation. The stock-based compensation expense amounts were derived based on the fair value of options using the Black-
Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used to value options granted in the periods
indicated. There were no new options granted in 2010.

3. receNt accOuNtiNg staNdards update (asu)
ASU 2013-02
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out
of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
The objective of this ASU is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This
ASU requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income, by
component, on the respective line items in the income statement if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. Reclassifications that are not required under
U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period are required to be cross-referenced to other
U.S. GAAP disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This is the case when a portion of the amount reclassified
out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account rather than directly to income or expense
in the same reporting period. For example, some portion of net periodic pension cost is immediately reported in net income, but other
portions may be capitalized to an asset balance such as fixed assets or inventory. An entity with significant defined benefit pension
costs reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income but not to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period
should identify the amount of each pension cost component reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and make
reference to the relevant pension cost disclosure that provides greater detail about these reclassifications.
The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial
statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated
other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where
net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income.
The provisions of this ASU are effective for public entities prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company has included these reclassification adjustments in the consolidated financial statements
for the periods presented.

There are 38 debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position on December 31, 2012, but none that have had unrealized losses
for more than 12 months. These securities have maturity dates ranging from September 2013 to December 2028 and represent
approximately 20.5% of the total debt securities’ amortized cost as of December 31, 2012.
The unrealized losses noted above are considered to be temporary impairments. The decline in the values of the debt securities are
due only to interest rate fluctuations, rather than erosion of issuer credit quality. As a result, the payment of contractual cash flows,
including principal repayment, is not at risk. As management does not intend to sell the securities, does not believe the Company will
be required to sell the securities before recovery and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis, none of the debt securities
are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
Equity securities owned by the Company consist of common stock of various financial services providers (“Bank Stocks”) and are
evaluated quarterly for evidence of other-than-temporary impairment. There were nine equity securities that were in an unrealized
loss position on December 31, 2012, and eight of those that comprise a group of securities with unrealized losses for 12 months
or more. Individually, none of these eight equity securities have significant unrealized losses. Of the eight equity securities that
have sustained unrealized losses for more than 12 months, six have increased in fair value during the year of 2012, indicating the
possibility of full recovery and therefore are deemed to be temporarily impaired. Of the two remaining stocks experiencing sustained
unrealized losses, the amount of individual loss is not material and increases in value were noted, at times, in 2012. Management has
identified no other-than-temporary impairment as of, or for the periods ended, December 31, 2012 and 2011 in the equity portfolio.
Management continues to track the performance of each stock owned to determine if it is prudent to deem any further other-than-
temporary impairment charges. The Company has the ability and intent to hold its equity securities until recovery of unrealized losses.
If market values of the bank stocks recover, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America do not allow
reversal of the other-than-temporary impairment charges previously recognized until the security is sold, at which time any proceeds
above the carrying value will be recognized as gain on the sale of investment securities. The Company recognized $40,000 of
impairment charges in 2010.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company has certain loans in its portfolio that are considered to be impaired. It is the policy of the Company to recognize income
on impaired loans that have been transferred to nonaccrual status on a cash basis, only to the extent that it exceeds principal balance
recovery. Until an impaired loan is placed on nonaccrual status, income is recognized on the accrual basis. Collateral analysis is
performed on each impaired loan at least quarterly and results are used to determine if a specific reserve is necessary to adjust the
carrying value of each individual loan down to the estimated fair value. Generally, specific reserves are carried against impaired
loans based upon estimated collateral value until a confirming loss event occurs or until termination of the credit is scheduled
through liquidation of the collateral or foreclosure. Charge off will occur when a confirmed loss is identified. Professional appraisals
of collateral, discounted for expected selling costs, are used to determine the charge-off amount. The following tables summarize
information regarding impaired loans by portfolio class as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

7. pledged assets
The Bank must maintain sufficient qualifying collateral with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), in order to secure borrowings.
Therefore, a Master Collateral Agreement has been entered into which pledges all mortgage related assets as collateral for future
borrowings. Mortgage related assets could include loans or investment securities. As of December 31, 2012, the amount of loans
included in qualifying collateral was $195,252,000, for a collateral value of $127,136,000. No investment securities are included in
qualifying collateral as of December 31, 2012.
8. BaNk OwNed life iNsuraNce aNd aNNuities
The Company holds bank-owned life insurance (BOLI), deferred annuities and payout annuities with a combined cash value of
$14,402,000 and $14,069,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As annuitants retire, the deferred annuities may be
converted to payout annuities to create payment streams that match certain post-retirement liabilities. The cash surrender value
on the BOLI and annuities increased by $333,000, $501,000 and $502,000 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from earnings
recorded as non-interest income and from premium payments, net of cash payments received. The contracts are owned by the Bank
in various insurance companies. The crediting rate on the policies varies annually based on the insurance companies’ investment
portfolio returns in their general fund and market conditions. Changes in cash value of BOLI and annuities in 2012 and 2011 are

On September 8, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of a branch office in Richfield, PA. The acquisition included real
estate, deposits and loans. The assets and liabilities of the acquired branch office were recorded on the consolidated statement of
financial condition at their estimated fair values as of September 8, 2006, and its results of operations have been included in the
consolidated statements of income since such date.
Included in the purchase price of the branch was goodwill and core deposit intangible of $2,046,000 and $449,000, respectively.
The core deposit intangible is being amortized over a ten-year period on a straight line basis. The goodwill is not amortized, but
is measured annually for impairment. Core deposit intangible amortization expense of $45,000 was recorded in each of the years
2012, 2011 and 2010. Intangible amortization expense projected for the succeeding five years beginning in 2013 is estimated to be
$45,000 per year through 2014 and $29,000 for 2015.
11. iNvestmeNt iN uNcONsOlidated suBsidiary
On September 1, 2006, the Company invested in Liverpool Community Bank (formerly known as The First National Bank of Liverpool)
(LCB), Liverpool, PA, by purchasing 39.16% of its outstanding common stock. This investment is accounted for under the equity
method of accounting. The investment is being carried at $4,000,000 as of December 31, 2012. The investment is evaluated quarterly
for impairment. A loss in value of the investment which is determined to be other than a temporary decline would be recognized as
a loss in the period in which such determination is made. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be
limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of LCB to sustain an earnings capacity
which would justify the current carrying value of the investment.

The maximum balance of short-term borrowings at any month-end during 2012 was $ 5,920,000.
The Bank has repurchase agreements with several of its depositors, under which customers’ funds are invested daily into an interest
bearing account. These funds are carried by the Company as short-term debt. It is the Company’s policy to have repurchase agreements
collateralized 100% by U.S. Government securities. As of December 31, 2012, the securities that serve as collateral for securities
sold under agreements to repurchase had a fair value of $8,609,000. The interest rate paid on these funds is variable and subject to
change daily.
The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) is $122,054,000, with a
balance of $1,600,000 outstanding as of December 31, 2012. In order to borrow an amount in excess of $6,960,000, the FHLB
would require the Bank to purchase additional FHLB Stock. The FHLB is a source of both short-term and long-term funding. The
Bank must maintain sufficient qualifying collateral to secure all outstanding advances.
The Bank has entered into an agreement under which it can borrow up to $20,000,000 from the FHLB in their Open RepoPlus
product. There were no borrowings under this agreement during the periods included in these consolidated financial statements.
There is no expiration date on the current agreement.

The Company has concluded that the deferred tax assets are realizable (on a more likely than not basis) through the combination
of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, certain tax planning strategies and expected future taxable income.
It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. No significant income tax uncertainties were identified as a result of the Company’s evaluation of its income
tax position. Therefore, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized income tax benefits for the years ended December
31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2009. Tax years
2009 through the present, with limited exception, remain open to examination.

16. stOckhOlders’ equity aNd regulatOry matters
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000 shares of preferred stock with no par value. The Board has the ability to fix the voting,
dividend, redemption and other rights of the preferred stock, which can be issued in one or more series. No shares of preferred stock
have been issued.
The Company has a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. Under this plan, additional shares of Juniata Valley Financial
Corp. stock may be purchased at the prevailing market prices with reinvested dividends and voluntary cash payments, within limits.
To the extent that shares are not available in the open market, the Company has reserved common stock to be issued under the plan.
As of October 2005, any adjustment in capitalization of the Company will result in a proportionate adjustment to the reserved shares
for this plan. At December 31, 2012, 141,887 shares were available for issuance under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
The Company periodically repurchases shares of its common stock under a share repurchase program approved by the Board of
Directors. Repurchases have typically been through open market transactions and have complied with all regulatory restrictions on
the timing and amount of such repurchases. Shares repurchased have been added to treasury stock and accounted for at cost. These
shares may be reissued for stock option exercises, employee stock purchase plan purchases and to fulfill dividend reinvestment
program needs. During 2010, 2011 and 2012, 83,900, 33,850 and 19,793 shares, respectively, were repurchased in conjunction with
this program. Remaining shares authorized in the program were 68,393 as of December 31, 2012.
The Company and the Bank are subject to risk-based capital standards by which bank holding companies and banks are evaluated in
terms of capital adequacy. These regulatory capital requirements are administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to each maintain
minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined in the regulations).
Management believes, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements
to which they were subject.
As of December 31, 2012, the most recent notification from the regulatory banking agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized
under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, the Bank must maintain
minimum Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. To the knowledge of management,
there are no conditions or events since these notifications that have changed the Bank’s category.

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

19. fair value measuremeNts
Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants
at the measurement date under current market conditions. Additional guidance is provided on determining when the volume
and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. The guidance also includes guidance on identifying
circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.
Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine
whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal
market activity for the asset or liability. When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume
and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from that market is needed, and significant
adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with fair value measurement and
disclosure guidance.
- 71 -
Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
This guidance clarifies that, when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability,
some transactions may not be orderly. In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine
whether the transaction is orderly. The guidance provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly.
A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.
Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction
to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal
market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used
to measure the fair value of the asset or liability is not adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that
assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and
customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers
and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.
Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market
approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information
generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation
techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The
cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement
cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources,
or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard,
the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the
ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or
corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
An asset’s or liability’s placement in the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement..
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of
such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is
based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may
be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty
credit quality, the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation
adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that
may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation
methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to
determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Securities Available for Sale. Debt securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For
these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurement from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements
consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading
levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among
other things. Equity securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value using Level 1 inputs.
Impaired Loans. Certain impaired loans are reported on a non-recurring basis at the fair value of the underlying collateral since
repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals
of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based
upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Other Real Estate Owned. Certain assets included in other real estate owned are carried at fair value as a result of impairment and
accordingly are presented as measured on a non-recurring basis. Values are estimated using Level 3 inputs, based on appraisals that
consider the sales prices of property in the proximate vicinity.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2012 and December
31, 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands).

weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the
Company could have realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured
as of their respective year ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements
subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective
reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each quarter end.
The information presented below should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair
value calculation is provided only for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation
techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those
of other companies may not be meaningful.
The following describes the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as well as the significant methods and
assumptions not previously disclosed used to determine these estimated fair values.
Carrying values approximate fair value for cash and due from banks, interest-bearing demand deposits with banks, federal funds
sold, restricted stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, interest receivable, mortgage servicing rights, non-interest bearing demand
deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, short-term borrowings and interest payable. Other than cash and due from
banks, which are considered Level 1 inputs, these instruments are Level 2 inputs.
Interest bearing time deposits with banks - The estimated fair value is determined by discounting the contractual future cash flows,
using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Loans – For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and which entail no significant changes in credit risk, carrying values
approximated fair value. Substantially all commercial loans and real estate mortgages are variable rate loans. The fair value of
other loans (i.e. consumer loans and fixed-rate real estate mortgages) are estimated by calculating the present value of the cash flow
difference between the current rate and the market rate, for the average maturity, discounted quarterly at the market rate.
Fixed rate time deposits - The estimated fair value is determined by discounting the contractual future cash flows, using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Other interest bearing liabilities – The fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on incremental borrowing
rates for similar types of arrangements.
Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit – The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees
currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit-
worthiness of the counterparties. The fair value of guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar
agreements.

Stock Option Plan
The 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan expired in May 2010 and was replaced with the 2011 Stock Option Plan in May 2011
(collectively, the “Plans”). The 2011 Stock Option Plan has essentially the same structure as the 2000 plan. Under the provisions
of the Plans, while active, options can be granted to officers and key employees of the Company. The Plans provide that the option
price per share is not to be less than the fair market value of the stock on the day the option was granted, but in no event less than the
par value of such stock. Options granted under the Plans are exercisable no earlier than one year after the date of grant and expire
ten years after the date of the grant.
The Plans are administered by a committee of the Board of Directors, whose members are not eligible to receive options under the
Plans. The Committee determines, among other things, which officers and key employees receive options, the number of shares to
be subject to each option, the option price and the duration of the option. Options vest over three to five years and are exercisable at
the grant price, which is at least the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. All options previously granted under the Plans
are scheduled to expire through March 20, 2022. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of options
under the 2011 Stock Option Plan is set at 300,000 shares, and 269,100 shares were available for grant as of December 31, 2012.
Total options outstanding at December 31, 2012 have exercise prices between $15.13 and $24.00, with a weighted average exercise
price of $19.04 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 4.5 years.
As of December 31, 2012, there was $49,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation
arrangements granted under the Plans. That cost is expected to be recognized through 2017.
Cash received from option exercises under the Plans for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $104,000, $27,000,
and $28,000, respectively.

Defined Benefit Retirement Plan
The Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan which covers substantially all of its employees employed prior to December
31, 2007. As of January 1, 2008, the plan was amended to close the plan to new entrants. All active participants as of December
31, 2007 became 100% vested in their accrued benefit and, as long as they remained eligible, continued to accrue benefits until
December 31, 2012. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation. Effective December 31, 2012, the
defined benefit retirement plan was amended to cease future service accruals after that date (frozen). The Company’s funding policy
is to contribute annually no more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions
are intended to provide for benefits attributed to service through December 31, 2012. The Company does not expect to contribute
to the defined benefit plan in 2013.
Management expects that approximately $40,000 will be recorded as net periodic expense in 2013 for the defined benefit plan,
which includes expected amortization out of accumulated other comprehensive loss in 2012. The following table sets forth by level,
within the fair value hierarchy, debt and equity instruments included in the defined benefit retirement’s plan assets at fair value as
of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands). Assets included in the plan that are not valued in the hierarchy table
consist of cash and cash equivalents, totaling $738,000 and $505,000, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company has a Defined Contribution Plan under which employees, through payroll deductions, are able to defer portions
of their compensation. The Company makes an annual non-elective fully vested contribution equal to 3% of compensation to
each eligible participant. As of December 31, 2012, a liability of $161,000 was recorded to satisfy this obligation, and will be
credited to employees’ accounts by February 15, 2013. This liability at December 31, 2011 totaled $160,000 and was credited to
employee accounts during 2012. Expense incurred under this plan was $157,000, $151,000 and $153,000 in 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company has amended the Defined Contribution Plan to include an employer matching
contribution for employees that elect to defer compensation into this program.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which employees, through payroll deductions, are able to purchase
shares of Company stock annually. The option price of the stock purchases is between 95% and 100% of the fair market value of
the stock on the offering termination date as determined annually by the Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares which
employees may purchase under the Plan is 250,000; however, the annual issuance of shares may not exceed 5,000 shares plus any
unissued shares from prior offerings. There were 2,729 shares issued in 2012, 2,413 shares issued in 2011 and 2,118 shares issued in
2010 under this plan. At December 31, 2012, there were 190,380 shares reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan.
Supplemental Retirement Plans
The Company has non-qualified supplemental retirement plans for directors and key employees. At December 31, 2012 and 2011,
the present value of the future liability was $627,000 and $723,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and
2010, $56,000, $73,000 and $93,000, respectively, was charged to expense in connection with these plans. The Company offsets
the cost of these plans through the purchase of bank-owned life insurance and annuities. See Note 8.
Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company has entered into deferred compensation agreements with certain directors to provide each director an additional
retirement benefit, or to provide their beneficiary a benefit, in the event of pre-retirement death. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the
present value of the future liability was $1,661,000 and $1,728,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and
2010, $66,000, $83,000 and $90,000, respectively, was charged to expense in connection with these plans. The Company offsets
the cost of these plans through the purchase of bank-owned life insurance. See Note 8.
Salary Continuation Plans
The Company has non-qualified salary continuation plans for key employees. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the present value of
the future liability was $1,151,000 and $1,111,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, $132,000,
$136,000 and $96,000, respectively, was charged to expense in connection with these plans. The Company offsets the cost of these
plans through the purchase of bank-owned life insurance. See Note 8.
21. fiNaNcial iNstrumeNts with Off-BalaNce sheet risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of its customers. These financial instruments may include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk that are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
Exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend
credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies
in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company controls the
credit risk of its financial instruments through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures; however, it does not generally
require collateral for such financial instruments since there is no principal credit risk.
A summary of the Company’s financial instrument commitments is as follows (in thousands):
Commitments to grant loans

Outstanding letters of credit

Juniata Valley Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since
portions of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral
held varies but may include personal or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
Outstanding letters of credit are instruments issued by the Bank that guarantee the beneficiary payment by the Bank in the event of
default by the Bank’s customer in the non-performance of an obligation or service. Most letters of credit are extended for one year
periods. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The amount of the
liability as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 for guarantees under letters of credit issued is not material.
The maximum undiscounted exposure related to these guarantees at December 31, 2012 was $1,293,000, and the approximate value
of underlying collateral upon liquidation that would be expected to cover this maximum potential exposure was $999,000.
22. related-party traNsactiONs
The Bank has granted loans to certain of its executive officers, directors and their related interests. These loans were made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
unrelated persons and, in the opinion of management, do not involve more than normal risk of collection. The aggregate dollar
amount of these loans was $2,370,000 and $2,965,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During 2012, $32,000 of
new loans were made and repayments totaled $627,000. None of these loans were past due, in non-accrual status or restructured at
December 31, 2012 or 2011.
23. cOmmitmeNts aNd cONtiNgeNt liaBilities
In 2009, the Company executed an agreement to obtain technology outsourcing services through an outside service bureau, and
those services began in June 2010. The agreement provides for termination fees if the Company cancels the services prior to the
end of the 8-year commitment period. The termination fee would be an amount equal to one hundred percent of the estimated
remaining value of the terminated services if terminated in the first contract year, ninety percent of the estimated remaining value of
the terminated services if terminated in the second contract year, eighty percent and seventy percent of the remaining value of the
terminated services if terminated in the third and fourth contract years, respectively, and sixty percent of the remaining value of the
terminated services if terminated in contract years five through eight. Termination fees are estimated to be approximately $2,323,000
at December 31, 2012. Since the Company does not expect to terminate these services prior to the end of the commitment period,
no liability has been recorded at December 31, 2012.
The Company, from time to time, may be a defendant in legal proceedings relating to the conduct of its banking business. Most of
such legal proceedings are a normal part of the banking business and, in management’s opinion, the consolidated financial condition
and results of operations of the Company would not be materially affected by the outcome of such legal proceedings.
24. suBsequeNt eveNts
In January 2013, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.22 per share for the first quarter of 2013 to shareholders of record
on February 15, payable on March 1, 2013.

YOU MAY
NOTICE
SOMETHING
A LITTLE
DIFFERENT.
In 2012, The Juniata Valley
Bank made the decision to
change the “public face” of
it’s business. This re-branding
effort resulted in a new and
dynamic look that we feel is
essential in maintaining the company’s forward
momentum. Along with this new identity, we instituted
an energetic new advertising campaign designed to
make both existing and new customers sit up and
take notice.
Utilizing bold colors, robust type faces and highly-
targeted concepts, our revitalized creative endeavors
ensure that the new business culture in which we
exist will realize that The Juniata Valley Bank will now
be better able to cater more efficiently to existing
customer demands.
In addition to generating a buzz among our clientele,
our rebranding has served to create a new momentum
within our company as employees gain knowledge
and offer critical feedback. They realize they are an
integral part of our company and we look forward to
everyone’s contribution to our renewed future.
Below are just a few examples of how The Juniata
Valley Bank is conveying its message to customers
eager for change, secure in the knowledge that they
will keep coming back in the hopes of experiencing
something new and exciting.
