NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005, AND DECEMBER 31, 2005

(Unaudited)

1.	REPORTING AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QNB Corp. (QNB) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Quakertown National Bank (the Bank). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in QNB's 2005 Annual Report incorporated in the Form 10-K. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods and are of a normal and recurring nature. Tabular information, other than share and per share data, is presented in thousands of dollars.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

QNB sponsors stock-based compensation plans, administered by a committee, under which both qualified and non-qualified stock options may be granted periodically to certain employees. QNB accounted for all awards granted after January 1, 2002 under the “fair value” approach under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Effective January 1, 2006, QNB adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FASB No. 123r), using the modified prospective application method. The modified prospective application method applies to new awards, to any outstanding liability awards, and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006. For all awards granted prior to January 1, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost, on the date of adoption, will be recognized as an expense in future periods. The results for prior periods have not been restated.

The adoption of FASB No. 123r reduced net income by approximately $31,000 and $58,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if QNB had applied the fair value recognition provisions to stock-based employee compensation during the period presented. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period.

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2005		Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Net income, as reported	$	483	$	2,402

Basic - pro forma	$	.15	$	.76

Diluted - as reported	$	.15	$	.76

Diluted - pro forma	$	.14	$	.74

As of June 30, 2006, there was approximately $146,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next two and a half years.

Options are granted to certain employees at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the date the options are granted. The 1998 Plan authorizes the issuance of 220,500 shares. The time period during which any option is exercisable under the Plan is determined by the committee but shall not commence before the expiration of six months after the date of grant or continue beyond the expiration of ten years after the date the option is awarded. The granted options vest ratably over a three-year period. As of June 30, 2006, there were 180,458 options outstanding under this Plan. The 2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of 200,000 shares. The terms of the 2005 Plan are identical to the 1998 Plan, except options expire five years after the grant date. As of June 30, 2006, there were 8,900 options outstanding under this Plan.

The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the option and each vesting date. QNB estimated the fair value of stock options on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model requires the use of numerous assumptions, many of which are highly subjective in nature. The following assumptions were used in the option pricing model in determining the fair value of options granted during the three- and six-months ended June 30:

Options granted	2006			2005			2004
Risk-free interest rate		4.27	%		4.18	%		4.39	%
Dividend yield		3.23			2.40			2.20
Volatility		13.28			14.05			13.61
Expected life		5 yrs.			10 yrs.			10 yrs.

The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued. Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected lives of the options.

3.	COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business entity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners.

The net deposit premium intangible was $68,000 and $94,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Amortization expense for core deposit intangibles was $13,000 for both three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and $26,000 for both six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

6.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of June 30, 2006, amounts due from directors, principal officers, and their related interests totaled $4,270,000. All of these transactions were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Also, they did not involve a more than normal risk of collectibility or present any other unfavorable features.

On September 22, 2005, the Bank approved and entered into an agreement with Eugene T. Parzych, Inc. for the renovation of its property at 322 W. Broad Street, Quakertown, Pennsylvania to be used as additional office space. The cost of the renovations is expected to be approximately $1,250,000. The bids for this project were submitted through a formal bidding process and reviewed by the Board of Directors. Mr. Gary S. Parzych is the president of Eugene T. Parzych, Inc. and is also a director of QNB Corp. Management and the Board of Directors of QNB Corp. and the Bank believe this is an arms-length transaction. The total paid as of June 30, 2006 was $1,058,000.

7.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments, as an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. FASB No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the QNB’s results of operations or financial position.

In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets. This Statement, which is an amendment to FASB No. 140, will simplify the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities, such as those common with mortgage securitization activities. Specifically, FASB No. 156 addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities and provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. FASB No. 156 also clarifies when an obligation to service financial assets should be separately recognized as a servicing asset or a servicing liability, requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be

initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits an entity with a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability to choose either of the amortization or fair value methods for subsequent measurement. The provisions of FASB No. 156 are effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on QNB’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. In addition, FIN 48 requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. QNB is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on QNB’s results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on the consolidated financial statements of QNB, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires QNB to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. QNB evaluates estimates on an on-going basis, including those

-11-

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (Continued)

related to the allowance for loan losses, non-accrual loans, other real estate owned, other-than-temporary investment impairments, intangible assets, stock option plans and income taxes. QNB bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

QNB believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements: allowance for loan losses, income taxes and other-than-temporary investment security impairment. Each estimate is discussed below. The financial impact of each estimate is discussed in the applicable sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Allowance for Loan Losses

QNB considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb probable known and inherent losses in the outstanding loan portfolio. The allowance is reduced by actual credit losses and is increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries of previous losses. The provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered necessary by management.

The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance is determined by assigning specific reserves to individually identified problem credits and general reserves to all other loans. The portion of the allowance that is allocated to internally criticized and non-accrual loans is determined by estimating the inherent loss on each credit after giving consideration to the value of underlying collateral. The general reserves are based on the composition and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the loan portfolio, credit concentration trends, historic and anticipated delinquency and loss experience, as well as other qualitative factors such as current economic trends.

Management emphasizes loan quality and close monitoring of potential problem credits. Credit risk identification and review processes are utilized in order to assess and monitor the degree of risk in the loan portfolio. QNB’s lending and loan administration staff are charged with reviewing the loan portfolio and identifying changes in the economy or in a borrower’s circumstances which may affect the ability to repay debt or the value of pledged collateral. A loan classification and review system exists that identifies those loans with a higher than normal risk of uncollectibility. Each commercial loan is assigned a grade based upon an assessment of the borrower’s financial capacity to service the debt and the presence and value of collateral for the loan. An independent loan review group tests risk assessments and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management meets monthly to review the credit quality of the loan portfolio and quarterly to review the allowance for loan losses.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review QNB’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require QNB to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Management believes that it uses the best information available to make determinations about the adequacy of the allowance and that it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. If circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making determinations, future adjustments to the

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (Continued):

allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be affected. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, increases to the allowance may be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above.

Income Taxes.

QNB accounts for income taxes under the asset/liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax 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 carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 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 available. A valuation allowance of $124,000 existed as of June 30, 2006 to offset a portion of the tax benefits associated with certain impaired securities that management believes may not be realizable. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond QNB’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term.

Other-than-Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities

Securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary. Management utilizes criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, in addition to the reasons underlying the decline, to determine whether the loss in value is other-than-temporary. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support realizable value equal to or greater than carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced, and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - OVERVIEW

QNB Corp. earns its net income primarily through its subsidiary, The Quakertown National Bank. Net interest income, or the spread between the interest, dividends and fees earned on loans and investment securities and the expense incurred on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, is the primary source of operating income for QNB. QNB seeks to achieve sustainable and consistent earnings growth while maintaining adequate levels of capital and liquidity and limiting its exposure to credit and interest rate risk to Board of Directors approved levels. Due to its limited geographic area, comprised principally of upper Bucks, southern Lehigh and northern Montgomery counties, growth is pursued through expansion of existing customer relationships and building new relationships by stressing a consistent high level of service at all points of contact.

QNB reported net income for the second quarter of 2006 of $1,302,000, or $.41 per common share on a diluted basis. This compares to net income of $483,000, or $.15 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2005. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $2,980,000, or $.94 per share diluted, an increase from the $2,402,000, or $.76 per share diluted, for the comparable period in 2005.

The results for the 2005 quarter and six-month period were significantly impacted by a $1,253,000 unrealized loss as an other-than-temporary impairment related to certain Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) preferred stock issues recorded in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). On an after-tax basis the charge was approximately $1,017,000, or $.32 per share diluted. QNB established a $190,000 valuation allowance to offset a portion of the tax benefits associated with the write-down of these securities because such tax benefits may not be realizable. During the first quarter of 2006, QNB sold its preferred stock holdings and recorded a gain of $451,000 on the carrying value of those issues that had previously been impaired and a $300,000 loss on one issue that was not impaired in 2005. In addition, during the first half of 2006, QNB realized capital gains which allowed a reversal of $86,000 of the tax valuation allowance provided in 2005.

Two important measures of profitability in the banking industry are an institution's return on average assets and return on average shareholders' equity. Return on average assets was .89 percent and .33 percent, while the return on average equity was 10.57 percent and 4.15 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, return on average assets was 1.03 percent and .83 percent, and the return on average equity was 12.29 percent and 10.49 percent, respectively. Excluding the impact of the impairment charge, the return on average assets for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 was 1.03 percent and 1.18 percent, respectively, and the return on average equity was 12.89 percent and 14.93 percent, respectively.

QNB’s net interest income declined in the second quarter of 2006, to $4,030,000, as compared to $4,111,000 for the same quarter of 2005. For the six-month periods net interest income declined by 2.2 percent to $8,016,000. The decline in net interest income was due to the continued pressure on the net interest margin. Funding costs of deposits and borrowed money continued to increase at a faster pace than the rate on earning assets. This difference was primarily the result of three factors: a highly competitive deposit and loan pricing environment, a sustained flat to inverted Treasury yield curve and the current structure of QNB’s balance sheet. The net interest margin declined 10 basis points, to 3.18 percent, from the second quarter of 2005 to the second quarter of 2006 and declined 7 basis points for the six-month period, to 3.22 percent. In addition, included in net interest income for the six-month period of 2005 was $40,000 of interest income recovered on non-accrual and previously charged off loans.

Total non-interest income was $951,000 for the second quarter of 2006. This compares to a loss of $172,000 for the same period in 2005. Excluding the $1,253,000 impairment charge included in net gains and losses on investment securities during the second quarter of 2005, total non-interest income was $1,081,000 during that

period. Included in non-interest income, under the category other income, during the second quarter of 2005 was two non-operating items; life insurance proceeds of $61,000 and a sales tax refund of $45,000. In addition, as a result of rising interest rates, mortgage activity has slowed and gains on the sale of residential mortgages declined by $49,000 when comparing the two quarters.

For the six-month period total non-interest income increased $662,000, to $2,159,000. Excluding gains and losses on securities and loans, non-interest income for the six-month period decreased $258,000. In addition to the two non-operating items mentioned previously, non-interest income during the first half of 2005 included a $209,000 gain on the liquidation of assets relinquished by a borrower. This item was also in the category of other income.

QNB has been very successful in operating efficiently and containing non-interest expense. Non-interest expense decreased $34,000, or 1.0 percent, for the three-month period and $34,000, or .5 percent, for the six-month period. Lower personnel expense, primarily as a result of a reduction in the number of full time equivalent employees, was the primary factor for the decline in non-interest expense. Salary and benefit expense declined $49,000 and $81,000, respectively, during these same periods. The adoption of FASB No. 123r had the impact of increasing salary expense by $31,000 for the quarter and $58,000 for the six-month period. Salary expense for the six-month period in 2005 included a $40,000 accrual for incentive compensation.

The balance sheet continued to experienced strong growth in loans, with total loans increasing $59,648,000, or 21.8 percent, between June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006. QNB’s successful loan growth was attributable to developing new relationships, as well as further cultivating existing relationships with small businesses in the communities served. Also contributing to loan growth was QNB’s entrance into indirect lease financing during the second quarter of 2005. This loan growth was achieved while maintaining excellent asset quality. Non-performing assets increased from .00 percent of total average assets at June 30, 2005 to .02 percent at June 30, 2006. While asset quality remained high, the strong growth in loans prompted the need for a provision for loan losses of $45,000 during the second quarter of 2006. This represented the first provision for loan losses since 1999. On the funding side of the balance sheet, total deposits increased $4,635,000, or 1.0 percent, from June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006. The competition for deposits remains aggressive.

QNB operates in an attractive market for financial services, but also in a market with intense competition from other local community banks and regional and national financial institutions. QNB has been able to compete effectively with other financial institutions by emphasizing technology, including internet-banking and electronic bill pay, and customer service, including local decision-making on loans, the establishment of long-term customer relationships and customer loyalty, and products and services designed to address the specific needs of our customers.

These items as well as others will be explained more thoroughly in the next sections.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The following table presents the adjustment to convert net interest income to net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

	For the Three Months				For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,				Ended June 30,

Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent)	$	4,385	$	4,485	$	8,751	$	8,936

Net interest income is the primary source of operating income for QNB. Net interest income is interest income, dividends, and fees on earning assets, less interest expense incurred for funding sources. Earning assets primarily include loans, investment securities and Federal funds sold. Sources used to fund these assets include deposits, borrowed funds and shareholders’ equity. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the amount of earning assets funded by non-interest-bearing deposits.

For purposes of this discussion, interest income and the average yield earned on loans and investment securities are adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis as detailed in the tables that appear on page 16 and 17. This adjustment to interest income is made for analysis purposes only. Interest income is increased by the amount of savings of Federal income taxes, which QNB realizes by investing in certain tax-exempt state and municipal securities and by making loans to certain tax-exempt organizations. In this way, the ultimate economic impact of earnings from various assets can be more easily compared.

The net interest rate spread is the difference between average rates received on earning assets and average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, while the net interest rate margin includes interest-free sources of funds.

Net interest income decreased 2.0 percent, to $4,030,000, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $4,111,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. On a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income decreased by 2.2 percent, from $4,485,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $4,385,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2006. The decline in net interest income was the result of a lower net interest margin. When comparing the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, the net interest margin declined by 10 basis points. The net interest margin decreased to 3.18 percent for the second quarter of 2006 from 3.28 percent for the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter net interest margin also represents an 8 basis point decline from the 3.26 percent recorded in the first quarter of 2006. Funding costs for deposits and borrowed money continue to increase at a faster pace than the rate on earning assets. Contributing to this difference is the interest rate environment over the past year as short-term interest rates have increased at a much faster pace than mid- and long-term interest rates resulting in a flat to inverted yield curve. The structure of QNB’s balance sheet, which

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

NET INTEREST INCOME (Continued)

is comprised primarily of fixed-rate investments and loans and funding sources with relatively short-term repricing characteristics, as well as the strong competition for loans and deposits, has also contributed to the decline in the net interest margin. The strong growth in loans has helped partially offset the impact of the higher funding costs.

While average earning assets increased slightly from $548,247,000 for the second quarter of 2005 to $552,294,000 for the second quarter of 2006, total interest income increased $853,000, or 11.6 percent, during the same period. The increase in interest income is a result of the increase in market interest rates and particularly the prime lending rate, in conjunction with the shift in the composition of the assets from investment securities to loans, as loans, in general, earn more than investment securities. When comparing the two quarters, average loans increased $49,641,000, or 18.2 percent, while average investment securities decreased $39,551,000, or 15.1 percent.

The Federal Reserve Board continued to increase short-term interest rates by increasing the Federal funds rate twice by 25 basis points each time during the second quarter of 2006. While short-term interest rates have increased significantly since June of 2004 when the Federal funds rate was 1.00 percent to its current rate of 5.25 percent, the yield on earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis has only increased from 5.36 percent for the second quarter of 2005 to 5.94 percent for the second quarter of 2006. This differential is due to a number of factors including the long period of historically low interest rates since 2001 which enabled borrowers to lock into low-rate longer term fixed-rate loans, the flat to inverted shape of the yield curve since the Federal Reserve began raising interest rates, the fixed rate nature of the investment and loan portfolio and the price competition for loans.

Interest income on investment securities decreased $319,000 when comparing the two quarters, as the decline in balances offset the increase in the yield on the portfolio. The average yield increased from 4.73 percent for the second quarter of 2005 to 5.00 percent for the second quarter of 2006. Most of the increase in the yield was a result of the sale, maturity or payments of lower yielding securities since QNB has purchased very few securities over the past year because of the growth in loans.

The yield on loans increased 52 basis points, to 6.60 percent, when comparing the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2005. The average prime rate when comparing these same periods increased 199 basis points, from 5.91 percent to 7.90 percent. While QNB was positively impacted by the increases in the prime rate, the overall yield on the loan portfolio did not increase proportionately, since only a portion of the loan portfolio reprices immediately with changes in the prime rate. As short-term interest rates were increasing, mid- and longer-term interest rates were increasing but at a slower rate, creating a yield curve that is flat and even inverted at points. This rate phenomenon, along with the extreme competition for loans, has created an environment where borrowers are refinancing variable-rate loans tied to prime into lower fixed-rate borrowings, and new originations, while at higher rates than two years ago, are still at relatively low rates.

For the most part, earning assets are funded by deposits, which declined when comparing the two quarters. Average deposits decreased $4,140,000, or 1.0 percent, when comparing the second quarters of 2006 and 2005. Total interest expense increased by $953,000, or 33.5 percent, when comparing the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2005. The increase in interest expense was a result of an increase in interest rates paid on both deposits and short-term borrowings. The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 2.38 percent for the second quarter of 2005 to 3.16 percent for the second quarter of 2006, with the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increasing from 1.99 percent to 2.81 percent during this same period. Interest expense on interest-bearing demand accounts increased $298,000, and the rate paid increased from 1.02 percent to 2.15 percent when

NET INTEREST INCOME (Continued)

comparing the two quarters. Approximately 43.8 percent of these balances are municipal deposits that adjust with Federal funds, accounting for the increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing demand accounts. The average balance of interest bearing demand accounts increased $7,471,000, or 8.2 percent, when comparing the two quarters. Interest expense on money market accounts increased by $150,000 as the $4,184,000 decline in average balances was offset by a 127 basis point increase in the average rate paid. The decrease in money market balances reflects the decision made during the third quarter of 2005 not to aggressively seek to retain the short-term deposits of a school district by paying high short-term rates. With the flat yield curve, these funds would not have added significant incremental net interest income and would have further eroded the net interest margin. The impact of the loss of these balances was partially offset by growth in the Treasury Select money market product. The increase in the average rate on money market accounts was primarily the result of the majority of the balances being in the Treasury Select product which is indexed to a percentage of the 91-day Treasury bill rate. This rate has increased as short-term interest rates have increased over the past year.

Interest expense on time deposits increased $374,000, while the average rate paid on time deposits increased from 2.93 percent to 3.70 percent when comparing the two periods. Like fixed-rate loans and investment securities, time deposits reprice over time and, therefore, have less of an immediate impact on costs in either a rising or falling rate environment. Unlike loans and investment securities, the maturity and repricing characteristics tend to be shorter. With interest rates increasing over the past two years, customers have opted for shorter maturity time deposits. This result, combined with the strong rate competition for these deposits, has led to the increase in the yield on time deposits in 2006. Average time deposits decreased $2,428,000, or 1.2 percent, when comparing the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2005.

Interest expense on short-term borrowings increased $109,000, both as a result of an increase in balances and rates. The average rate paid increased from 1.96 percent for the second quarter of 2005 to 3.51 percent for the second quarter of 2006, while average balances increased $7,334,000, to $18,914,000. Most of this increase was centered in repurchase agreements, a sweep product for commercial customers.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, net interest income decreased $180,000, or 2.2 percent, to $8,016,000. On a tax-equivalent basis net interest income decreased $185,000, or 2.1 percent. Included in net interest income for the first six months of 2005 was $40,000 in interest recognized on the pay-off of loans that had not been accruing interest or had previously been charged off. Average earning assets increased $558,000, or .1 percent, while the net interest margin declined 7 basis points. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 3.22 percent for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 compared with 3.29 percent for the same period in 2006.

Total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis increased $1,535,000, from $14,455,000 to $15,990,000, when comparing the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2006. With the small growth in earning assets, the increase in interest income was mostly a result of rate increases and the movement of balances from investment securities to loans. Approximately $487,000 of the increase in interest income was related to volume, while $1,048,000 was due to higher rates. Average loans increased 16.6 percent to $314,719,000, while average investment securities decreased 15.3 percent to $226,181,000. The yield on earning assets increased from 5.32 percent to 5.88 percent for the six-month periods. The yield on loans increased from 6.04 percent to 6.55 percent during this time, while the yield on investments increased from 4.67 percent to 4.95 percent when comparing the six-month periods. The yield on commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans benefited the most from the increase in interest rates.

NET INTEREST INCOME (Continued)

Total interest expense increased $1,720,000, from $5,519,000 to $7,239,000, for the six-month periods with interest on demand accounts, money market accounts, and time deposits accounting for $540,000, $155,000 and $774,000, respectively, of the increase. Approximately $1,706,000 of the increase in interest expense is a result of higher interest rates. The yield on interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts and time deposits increased 105 basis points, 107 basis points and 73 basis points, respectively, when comparing the average rate paid for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Interest expense on short-term borrowings increased by $210,000 as the average rate paid on these accounts increased from 1.79 percent to 3.26 percent.

Management expects the remainder of 2006 to be challenging with respect to net interest income and the net interest margin. The extremely competitive environment for loans and deposits, as well as the flat yield curve, is expected to continue. These factors combined with QNB’s current interest rate sensitivity position, which has funding sources repricing sooner than earning assets, will likely put more pressure on the net interest margin. However, the ability to continue to successfully increase loan balances should have a positive impact on the net interest margin and interest income, as loans tend to earn a higher yield than investment securities. In addition, at the end of the second quarter, QNB was able to reclassify some of its deposits for reserve calculation purposes. This reclassification will enable QNB to reduce its reserve requirements at the Federal Reserve Bank by approximately $8,500,000. These funds will go from a non-earning asset into either Federal funds sold or investment securities, thereby increasing net interest income.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses represents management's determination of the amount necessary to be charged to operations to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that represents management’s best estimate of the known and inherent losses in the existing loan portfolio. Actual loan losses, net of recoveries, serve to reduce the allowance.

The determination of an appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is based upon an analysis of the risk inherent in QNB's loan portfolio. Management uses various tools to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. One tool is a model recommended by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. This model considers a number of relevant factors including: historical loan loss experience, the assigned risk rating of the credit, current and projected credit worthiness of the borrower, current value of the underlying collateral, levels of and trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans, trends in volume and terms of loans, concentrations of credit, and national and local economic trends and conditions. This model is supplemented with another analysis that also incorporates QNB’s portfolio exposure to borrowers with large dollar concentration. Other tools include ratio analysis and peer group analysis.

QNB’s management determined a $45,000 provision for loan losses was necessary for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006. There was no provision for loan losses necessary for the same periods in 2005. The need for a provision during the second quarter of 2006 was determined by the analysis described above and resulted in an allowance for loan losses that management believes is adequate in relation to the estimate of known and inherent losses in the portfolio.

Loan charge-offs and non-performing assets remain at low levels. QNB had net charge-offs of $2,000 and $21,000 during the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 QNB had net charge-offs of $22,000 and $27,000, respectively.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)

Non-performing assets (non-accruing loans, loans past due 90 days or more, other real estate owned and other repossessed assets) amounted to .02 percent and .00 percent of total assets at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This compares to .002 percent at December 31, 2005. There were no non-accrual loans at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 or June 30, 2005. QNB did not have any other real estate owned as of June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 or June 30, 2005. There were no repossessed assets as of June 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005. Repossessed assets were $4,000 at June 30, 2005.

There were no restructured loans as of June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 or June 30, 2005 as defined in FASB Statement No. 15, Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings, that have not already been included in loans past due 90 days or more or non-accrual loans.

The allowance for loan losses was $2,549,000 and $2,526,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The ratio of the allowance to total loans was .77 percent and .84 percent at the respective period end dates. The decrease in the ratio is a result of the strong growth in the loan portfolio. While QNB believes that its allowance is adequate to cover losses in the loan portfolio, there remain inherent uncertainties regarding future economic events and their potential impact on asset quality.

A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that QNB will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. There were no loans considered impaired at June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Management in determining the allowance for loan losses makes significant estimates. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing these estimates including current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of loan reviews, borrowers’ perceived financial and managerial strengths, the adequacy of underlying collateral if collateral dependent, or the present value of future cash flows.

Since the allowance for loan losses is dependent, to a great extent, on conditions that may be beyond QNB’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s estimates of the allowance for loan losses and actual results could differ in the near term. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review QNB’s allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require QNB to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

QNB, through its core banking business, generates various fees and service charges. Total non-interest income is composed of service charges on deposit accounts, ATM and debit card income, income on bank-owned life insurance, mortgage servicing fees, gains or losses on the sale of investment securities, gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans, and other miscellaneous fee income.

period. Included in non-interest income, under the category other income, during the second quarter of 2005 was two non-operating items: life insurance proceeds of $61,000 and a sales tax refund of $45,000.

For the six-month period, total non-interest income increased $662,000, to $2,159,000. Excluding gains and losses on securities and loans, non-interest income for the six-month period decreased $258,000. In addition to the two non-operating items mentioned previously, non-interest income during the first half of 2005 included a $209,000 gain on the liquidation of assets relinquished by a borrower. This item was also in the category of other income.

Fees for services to customers are primarily comprised of service charges on deposit accounts. These fees increased $12,000, or 2.7 percent, to $464,000 when comparing the two quarters and $13,000, or 1.5 percent, to $904,000 when comparing the six-month periods. Overdraft income increased $22,000 for the three-month period and $33,000 for the six-month period as a result of an increase in the volume of overdrafts. This additional income helped offset a decline in fee income on business checking accounts and internet bill pay. Fees on business checking accounts declined $10,000 and $16,000 for the three- and six-month periods, respectively. This decline reflects the impact of a higher earnings credit rate, resulting from the increases in short-term interest rates, applied against balances to offset service charges incurred. QNB eliminated the fee it charged retail customers for the use of internet bill pay during the fourth quarter of 2005, resulting in a reduction in fee income of $6,000 and $13,000, respectively, when comparing the three- and six-month periods.

ATM and debit card income is primarily comprised of income on debit cards and ATM surcharge income for the use of QNB ATM machines by non-QNB customers. ATM and debit card income was $195,000 for the second quarter of 2006, an increase of $24,000, or 14.0 percent, from the amount recorded during the second quarter of 2005. Income from ATM and debit cards was $379,000 and $330,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Debit card income increased $20,000, or 16.5 percent, to $141,000 for the three-month period and $41,000, or 17.7 percent, to $273,000 for the six-month period. The increase in debit card income was a result of the increased reliance on the card as a means of paying for goods and services by both consumer and business cardholders. QNB has been successfully promoting the use of the card by its business customers. In addition, an increase in pin-based transactions, as well as the fee received from VISA, resulted in additional interchange income of $6,000 and $13,000, respectively, when comparing the respective three- and six-month periods. Partially offsetting these positive variances was a reduction in ATM surcharge income of $2,000 and $4,000, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods. This decrease was a result of fewer transactions by non-QNB customers at QNB’s ATM machines.

Income on bank-owned life insurance represents the earnings on life insurance policies in which the Bank is the beneficiary. The earnings on these policies were $62,000 and $64,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six-month period, earnings on these policies decreased $4,000, to $123,000. The insurance carriers reset the rates on these policies annually. The decline in income is a result of a lower earnings rate resulting from the lower interest rate environment at the last reset date.

When QNB sells its residential mortgages in the secondary market, it retains servicing rights. A normal servicing fee is retained on all mortgage loans sold and serviced. QNB recognizes its obligation to service financial assets that are retained in a transfer of assets in the form of a servicing asset. The servicing asset is amortized in proportion to and over the period of net servicing income or loss. Servicing assets are assessed for impairment based on their fair value. Mortgage servicing fees for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $25,000 and $12,000, respectively, and $48,000 and $36,000 for the respective six-month periods. The

higher income in 2006 is primarily the result of a reduction in amortization expense when comparing the periods as well as impairment charges recorded in 2005. Amortization expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $22,000 and $30,000, respectively. For the respective six-month periods, amortization expense was $47,000 and $59,000, respectively. The higher amortization expense in 2005 was a result of early payoffs of mortgage loans through refinancing. As mortgage interest rates have increased, refinancing activity has slowed dramatically. There was no valuation allowance necessary for either the three- or six-month periods in 2006. Included in the three- and six-month periods of 2005 were a positive $6,000 and a negative $1,000 adjustment to the valuation allowance. The average balance of mortgages serviced for others was $74,041,000 for the second quarter of 2006 compared to $77,445,000 for the second quarter of 2005, a decrease of 4.4 percent. The average balance of mortgages serviced was approximately $75,124,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to $77,916,000 for the first six months of 2005, a decrease of 3.6 percent. The timing of mortgage payments and delinquencies also impacts the amount of servicing fees recorded.

The fixed income securities portfolio represents a significant portion of QNB’s earning assets and is also a primary tool in liquidity and asset/liability management. QNB actively manages its fixed income portfolio in an effort to take advantage of changes in the shape of the yield curve, changes in spread relationships in different sectors and for liquidity purposes, as needed. Management continually reviews strategies that will result in an increase in the yield or improvement in the structure of the investment portfolio.

QNB recorded a net gain/(loss) on investment securities of $60,000 and $(1,189,000) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In the second quarter of 2005, QNB determined that certain unrealized losses on perpetual preferred stock of FNMA and FHLMC was other-than-temporary in accordance with FASB 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59 Accounting for Non-current Marketable Equity Securities. An impairment charge of $1,253,000 was recorded to write-down these investments to their fair values. Excluding the impairment charge, QNB recorded net gains on the sale of securities of $64,000 during the second quarter of 2005, net losses on the sale of fixed income securities of $26,000 and gains from the equity portfolio of $90,000. The gains recorded during the second quarter of 2006 were a result of the sale of equity securities.

Net security gains/(losses) were $415,000 and $(576,000) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Of the gains recorded in 2006, $258,000 was from the marketable equity securities portfolio at the Corporation and $157,000 were from the sale of debt and equity securities at the Bank. During the first quarter of 2006, QNB entered into several liquidity transactions through the sale of investment securities to fund the strong growth in loans. In addition, QNB sold its preferred stock holdings and recorded a gain of $451,000 on the carrying value of those issues that had previously been impaired and a $300,000 loss on one issue that was not impaired in 2005. Excluding the impairment charge discussed above, QNB recorded net securities gains of $677,000 during the first six months of 2005, $244,000 from the sale of debt securities and $433,000 from the sale of equity securities.

The net gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans was $11,000 and $60,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, net gains on the sale of loans were $24,000 and $95,000, respectively. Residential mortgage loans to be sold are identified at origination. The net gain on residential mortgage sales is directly related to the volume of mortgages sold and the timing of the sales relative to the interest rate environment. The net gain on the sale of residential mortgage loans has declined as a result of the increase in interest rates over the past year. The increase in interest rates has reduced both the volume of origination and sales activity and the amount of gains recorded at the time of sale. Included in the gains on the sale of residential mortgages in the three-month periods were $9,000 and $25,000

related to the recognition of mortgage servicing assets. Included in the gains on the sale of residential mortgages in the six-month periods were $16,000 and $39,000, respectively, related to the recognition of mortgage servicing assets. During the second quarter of 2005 longer term interest rates, particularly the 10-year Treasury rate, declined, providing consumers another opportunity to refinance their mortgages. This rate environment also provided QNB the opportunity to sell these loans at a larger profit. This environment was in contrast to the mortgage interest environment of 2006 which, for the most part, has seen mortgage rates continually increase. Proceeds from the sale of mortgages were $1,200,000 and $3,328,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six-month periods, proceeds from the sale of residential mortgage loans amounted to $2,140,000 and $5,233,000, respectively.

Other operating income decreased $124,000, to $134,000, during the second quarter of 2006. The non-operating items mentioned earlier accounted for $106,000 of the decrease. In addition, trust and retail brokerage income declined $22,000 and dividend income from QNB’s membership in Laurel Abstract Company LLC, a title insurance company, declined $9,000. During the fourth quarter of 2005, QNB made the decision to stop offering trust services and to focus its attention to retail brokerage and wealth management services through its relationship with Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. The decline in income from the title company was a result of the slowdown in mortgage activity. Partially offsetting these declines was an $8,000 increase in merchant income and an $8,000 increase in official check fee income. QNB has been very successful in 2006 in obtaining new merchants. The increase in official check fee income was a result of higher short-term interest rates.

For the six-month period, other operating income decreased $328,000, or 55.2 percent, to $266,000. The non-operating items discussed previously account for $315,000 of the decrease when comparing the six-month periods. In addition, trust and retail brokerage income declined $38,000 and income from the title company declined $9,000. Partially offsetting these declines was a $14,000 increase in merchant income and a $17,000 increase in official check fee income.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense is comprised of costs related to salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy, furniture and equipment, marketing, third party services and various other operating expenses. Total non-interest expense of $3,282,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 represents a decrease of $34,000, or 1.0 percent, from levels reported in the second quarter of 2005. Total non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $6,518,000, a decrease of $34,000, or .5 percent, over 2005 levels.

Salaries and benefits is the largest component of non-interest expense. Salaries and benefits expense decreased $49,000, or 2.6 percent, to $1,814,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same quarter in 2005. Salary expense decreased $30,000, or 2.0 percent, during the period to $1,455,000, while benefits expense decreased $19,000, or 5.0 percent, to $359,000. Included in salary expense for the second quarter of 2006 was $31,000 in stock option expense associated with the adoption of FASB No. 123r. Excluding the impact of the stock option expense, salary expense decreased 4.1 percent when comparing the three-month periods. Merit and promotional increases were offset by a decrease in the number of employees. The number of full time-equivalent employees decreased by eight when comparing the second quarter of 2006 and 2005. With regard to benefits, retirement plan expense declined by $11,000 when comparing the two quarters while payroll taxes and medical premiums declined by approximately $3,000 each. The use of forfeitures from the unvested portion of terminated employees balances accounts for $8,000 of the decrease in

retirement plan expense. The reduction in payroll tax expense and medical costs reflects the decline in the number of employees.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 salaries and benefits expense decreased $81,000, to $3,619,000, compared to the same period in 2005. Salary expense decreased by $71,000, or 2.4 percent, while benefits expense decreased by $10,000, or 1.3 percent, when comparing the two periods. Included in salary expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was an accrual of $40,000 related to the incentive compensation plan. There has been no accrual for 2006. Included in salary expense for the first six months of 2006 was $58,000 in stock option expense associated with the adoption of FASB No. 123r. Excluding the impact of the accruals for the incentive compensation plan and the stock option expense, salary expense decreased 3.1 percent for the six-month period. The number of full time-equivalent employees decreased by seven when comparing the six-month periods. Payroll tax expense declined by $10,000 when comparing the six-month periods, accounting for the decline in benefits expense.

Net occupancy expense increased $24,000 to $296,000, when comparing the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2005. For the six-month period, net occupancy expense increased $22,000 to $575,000. Contributing to the increase in both the three and six-month periods was higher costs related to building maintenance, utilities and real estate taxes.

Furniture and equipment expense decreased $36,000, or 12.4 percent, to $255,000 when comparing the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and decreased $87,000, or 15.2 percent, to $486,000 when comparing the six-month periods. Depreciation on furniture and equipment and amortization of software costs declined by $36,000 for the three-month period and $92,000 for the six-month period. Hardware and software associated with the bank’s core computer system acquired in 2000 became fully depreciated in 2005. The decline in depreciation expense was lower in the second quarter of 2006 than the first quarter of 2006, as some hardware associated with the computer system was replaced during the second quarter of 2006. Net occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense is expected to increase during the second half of the year relative to the first half due to the impact of the renovations to the lending center, which was completed in June.

Marketing expense decreased $12,000 to $144,000, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and $9,000 to $297,000, for the six-month period. Sales promotion expense decreased $6,000 when comparing both the three and six-month periods. During the second quarter of 2005, QNB purchased several items for use and distribution in the community to promote various products and services offered. Also, when comparing the six-month periods, advertising expense increased $18,000 as QNB increased its use of billboards and television for product advertising. Donations decreased $29,000 when comparing the six-month periods, as the first quarter of 2005 included several one-time contributions for special projects. QNB contributes to not-for-profit organizations, clubs and community events in the local communities it serves.

Third party services are comprised of professional services including legal, accounting and auditing and consulting services as well as fees paid to outside vendors for support services of day-to-day operations. These support services include correspondent banking services, statement printing and mailing, investment security safekeeping and supply management services. Third party services expense was $196,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $168,000 for the second quarter of 2005. For the six-month period, third party services increased $56,000, to $365,000. The increase in expense is primarily related to the use of consultants for special projects and increases in legal and internal and external auditing fees. Legal expense increased $15,000 and $22,000 when comparing the respective three- and six-month periods. In addition, with the elimination of the fee charged to consumers for the use of internet bill pay services, QNB has

experienced rapid growth in this service. As a result, the fees paid to the vendor who processes these payments have increased by $8,000 for the three-month period and $15,000 for the six-month period.

Telephone, postage and supplies expense increased $23,000 for the quarter to $136,000 and $40,000 for the six-month period to $276,000. Postage expense increased $10,000 and $17,000 during these respective periods, as a result of an increase in both the volume of mailings as well as the cost per mailing as the U.S. Postal service raised rates effective January 2006. Supplies expense increased $5,000 when comparing the two quarters and $19,000 when comparing the six-month periods. Contributing to this increase were costs for ATM cards and costs related to supplies for the new lending center.

State tax expense represents the payment of the Pennsylvania shares tax, which is based on the equity of the Bank, Pennsylvania sales and use tax and the Pennsylvania capital stock tax. State tax expense was $114,000 for both three-month periods and $227,000 for the six-month period, an increase of $10,000 compared to the same period in 2005. The shares tax increased $9,000 for the quarter and $18,000 for the six-month period, a result of the increase in the Bank’s equity. This increase was offset by a decrease in the capital stock tax paid by the Corporation of $9,000 for the quarter and $8,000 for the six-month period.

INCOME TAXES

QNB utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. As of June 30, 2006, QNB's net deferred tax asset was $2,450,000. The primary components of deferred taxes are a deferred tax asset of $812,000 relating to the allowance for loan losses and a deferred tax asset of $1,798,000 resulting from the FASB No. 115 adjustment for available-for-sale securities. As of June 30, 2005, QNB's net deferred tax asset was $292,000 comprised of deferred tax assets of $729,000 related to the allowance for loan losses and $481,000 related to impaired securities. Partially offsetting this was a deferred tax liability of $542,000 resulting from the FASB No. 115 adjustment for available-for-sale investment securities. Rising interest rates over the past year have had a negative impact on the market value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio and have created an unrealized loss in the portfolio and a deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2006 as compared to an unrealized gain and a deferred tax liability at June 30, 2005.

The realizability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon a variety of factors including the generation of future taxable income, the existence of taxes paid and recoverable, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance of $190,000 was established as of June 30, 2005 to offset a portion of the tax benefits associated with certain impaired securities that management believed may not be realizable. This valuation allowance was increased to $209,000 at December 31, 2005. Approximately $85,000 of this valuation allowance was reversed during the first half of 2006 as a result of the ability to realize tax benefits associated with certain impaired securities. Management believes it is more likely than not that QNB will realize the benefits of these remaining deferred tax assets. The net deferred tax asset is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Applicable income taxes and effective tax rates were $352,000, or 21.3 percent, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, and $140,000, or 22.5 percent, for the same period in 2005. For the six-month periods, applicable income taxes and effective tax rates were $632,000, or 17.5 percent, and $739,000, or 23.5 percent, respectively. The establishment of the valuation allowance in 2005 and the partial reversal in 2006 contributed to the differences in the effective tax rates when comparing the periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS

The balance sheet analysis compares average balance sheet data for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, as well as the period ended balances as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

QNB’s primary functions and responsibilities are to accept deposits and to make loans to meet the credit needs of the communities it serves. Loans are the most significant component of earning assets and growth in loans to small businesses and residents of these communities has been a primary focus of QNB. Once again, QNB has been successful in achieving strong growth in total loans, while at the same time maintaining excellent asset quality.

Average earning assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased $558,000, or .1 percent, to $548,102,000 from $547,544,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Average loans increased $44,797,000, or 16.6 percent, while average investments decreased $40,691,000, or 15.2 percent. Average Federal funds sold decreased $3,440,000 when comparing these same periods. The growth in average loans during the past year was funded primarily through the reduction of the investment portfolio.

Total loans have increased 21.8 percent between June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 and 10.4 percent since December 31, 2005. This loan growth was achieved despite the extremely competitive environment for both commercial and consumer loans. Continued loan growth remains one of the primary goals of QNB.

Average total commercial loans increased $30,417,000 when comparing the first half of 2006 to the first half of 2005. Most of the 16.9 percent growth in average commercial loans is in loans secured by real estate, either commercial or residential properties, which increased $16,373,000. Of this increase $13,015,000, or 79.5 percent, are adjustable-rate loans. While adjustable, most of these loans have a fixed rate for a period of time, from one year to ten years, before the rate adjusts. Most of the $6,471,000 in growth in the commercial and industrial category represents loans with fixed interest rates. Given the significant increase in the prime rate over the past two years and the possibility of further rate increases combined with the flat shape of the yield curve, customers are requesting to lock in a fixed-rate versus a rate floating with prime. Also contributing to the growth in total commercial loans was an increase in tax-exempt loans. QNB continues to be successful in competing for loans to schools and municipalities. Average tax-exempt loans increased $7,573,000, or 58.0 percent, when comparing the two quarters.

Indirect lease financing receivables represent loans to small businesses that are collateralized by equipment. These loans are originated by a third party and purchased by QNB based on criteria specified by QNB. The criteria include minimum credit scores of the borrower, term of the lease, type and age of equipment financed and geographic area. The geographic area primarily represents states contiguous to Pennsylvania. QNB is not the lessor and does not service these loans. Average indirect lease financing loans increased $7,599,000 when comparing the six-month periods. QNB began purchasing these loans in the second quarter of 2005.

Average home equity loans and residential mortgage loans increased $5,622,000 and $1,368,000, respectively, when comparing the first half of 2006 to the first half of 2005. The 9.4 percent increase in average home equity loans reflects their continued popularity with consumers, especially those refinancing existing residential mortgage loans, because they have lower origination costs than residential mortgage loans. When comparing average balances, all of the growth in home equity loans in the past year has been in the fixed-rate home equity term loan. This product became more attractive to consumers as the prime rate rose during 2005 and led many to refinance their floating-rate lines into fixed-rate home equity loans. QNB has been aggressive in pricing it fixed-rate home equity loans relative to the market.

Total average deposits decreased $9,545,000, or 2.0 percent, to $458,066,000 for the first half of 2006 compared to the first half of 2005. Money market account balances decreased $12,136,000 on average. The decrease in money market balances reflects the decision made during the third quarter of 2005 not to aggressively seek to retain the short-term deposits of a school district by paying high short-term rates. With the flat yield curve, these funds would not have added significant incremental net interest income and would have further eroded the net interest margin. The impact of the loss of these balances was partially offset by growth in the Treasury Select money market product. Average balances of these accounts increased $9,666,000, or 40.8 percent, to $33,358,000. This product is a variable-rate account, indexed to a percentage of the monthly average of the 91-day Treasury bill rate based on balances in the account. This product has become a popular alternative to time deposits and saving accounts because of its competitive rate and the ability to make deposits and withdrawals. Average savings accounts declined $5,120,000, or 9.2 percent, when comparing the six-month periods as some customers sought out the higher yielding money market accounts and short-term time deposits.

The decline in money market and savings accounts was partially offset by growth in average interest-bearing demand deposits, which increased $6,179,000 when comparing the two periods. The growth in interest-bearing demand deposits is centered in the deposits of local municipalities.

Increasing time deposit balances continues to be a challenge because of the rate competition for such deposits, particularly with maturities between eight months through two years. Matching or beating competitors’ rates could have a negative impact on the net interest margin. Average time deposits increased $1,663,000, or .8 percent, to $207,854,000 on average for the six months of 2006.

QNB used short-term borrowings including overnight borrowings and repurchase agreements to help fund the loan growth and decline in deposits. Total average short-term borrowings increased $7,994,000 when comparing the two periods with repurchase agreements, a sweep product for commercial customers, increasing $6,019,000 on average.

Total assets at June 30, 2006 were $591,492,000, compared with $582,205,000 at December 31, 2005, an increase of 1.6 percent. The composition of the asset side of the balance sheet shifted from year-end with total loans increasing $31,301,000 between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006. In contrast, total investment securities declined by $23,385,000 between these dates. Premises and equipment increased $1,058,000 primarily as a result of the cost of renovations and furniture for the lending center. Other assets increased $1,370,000 from December 2005 to June 2006 with deferred tax assets increasing by $1,098,000. The increase in deferred tax assets is a result of the change in the FASB No. 115 adjustment for available-for-sale securities caused by rising interest rates.

On the liability side, total deposits increased by $3,918,000, or .9 percent, since year-end. The composition of the deposits changed slightly as declines in interest-bearing demand accounts of $4,587,000 and time deposits of $5,844,000 was offset by growth of $13,657,000 in money market accounts. Treasury Select money market balances increased $16,629,000 between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006.

Short-term borrowings increased $5,117,000 between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, as repurchase agreement balances increased $5,588,000 while Federal funds purchased decreased by $470,000.

At June 30, 2006, the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale was $209,893,000, or $5,289,000 below the amortized cost of $215,182,000. This compares to a fair value of $233,275,000, or $1,912,000

below the amortized cost of $235,187,000, at December 31, 2005. An unrealized holding loss, net of taxes, of $3,491,000 was recorded as a decrease to shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2006, while an unrealized holding loss of $1,262,000 was recorded as a decrease to shareholders' equity at December 31, 2005. The increase in interest rates since December 31, 2005 has contributed to the further decline in the market value of the investment portfolio.

The available-for-sale portfolio had a weighted average maturity of approximately 4 years, 11 months at June 30, 2006 and 4 years, 5 months at December 31, 2005. The weighted average tax-equivalent yield was 5.01 percent and 4.87 percent at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The weighted average maturity is based on the stated contractual maturity or likely call date of all securities except for mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), which are based on estimated average life. The maturity of the portfolio could be shorter if interest rates would decline and prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and CMOs increased or if more securities are called. However, the estimated average life could be longer if rates were to increase and principal payments on mortgage-backed securities and CMOs would slow or bonds anticipated to be called are not called. The interest rate sensitivity analysis reflects the repricing term of the securities portfolio based upon estimated call dates and anticipated cash flows assuming an unchanged as well as a shocked interest rate environment.

Investment securities held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. The held-to-maturity portfolio is comprised solely of tax-exempt municipal securities. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, QNB had securities classified as held-to-maturity with an amortized cost of $5,894,000 and $5,897,000 and a market value of $6,005,000 and $6,082,000, respectively. The held-to-maturity portfolio had a weighted average maturity of approximately 7 years, 6 months at June 30, 2006 and 3 years, 10 months at December 31, 2005. The weighted average tax-equivalent yield was 6.77 percent at June 30, 2006 and 6.78 percent at December 31, 2005. The increase in the weighted average maturity is a result of the increase in interest rates. Bonds that were anticipated to be called are now expected to go to their maturity date.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers and demands of depositors. QNB manages its mix of cash, Federal funds sold and investment securities in an attempt to match the volatility, seasonality, interest sensitivity and growth trends of its loans and deposits. Liquidity is provided from asset sources through maturities and repayments of loans and investment securities. The portfolio of investment securities available-for-sale and QNB's policy of selling certain residential mortgage originations in the secondary market also provide sources of liquidity. Additional sources of liquidity are provided by the Bank’s membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) and a two $10,000,000 unsecured Federal funds lines granted by correspondent banks. In addition, the Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB of approximately $239,896,000. At June 30, 2006, QNB’s outstanding borrowings under the FHLB credit facilities totaled $55,000,000.

Cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, available-for-sale securities and loans held-for-sale totaled $229,522,000 and $254,216,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. These sources should be adequate to meet normal fluctuations in loan demand and deposit withdrawals. During the first half of 2006, QNB used both its Federal funds line and overnight borrowings with the FHLB to help temporarily fund deposit withdrawals and loan growth. In addition, QNB entered into several investment sales transactions during the first quarter of 2006 for the purpose of providing liquidity. Total loans increased by $31,301,000, or 10.4 percent, during the first half of the year. This was funded primarily through the investment portfolio

whose balances decreased by $23,385,000 from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006. An increase in deposits and repurchase agreement balances also helped fund the loan growth.

Approximately $76,570,000 and $68,917,000 of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, were pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements and deposits of public funds. In addition, under terms of its agreement with the FHLB, QNB maintains otherwise unencumbered qualifying assets (principally 1-4 family residential mortgage loans and U.S. Government and agency notes, bonds, and mortgage-backed securities) in the amount of at least as much as its advances from the FHLB.

QNB anticipates the rate of loan growth to slow during the second half of the year. In addition, the deposit balances held by school districts should increase during the third quarter as real estate taxes are collected.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

A strong capital position is fundamental to support continued growth and profitability and to serve the needs of depositors. QNB's shareholders' equity at June 30, 2006 was $46,510,000, or 7.86 percent of total assets. This compares to shareholders' equity of $46,564,000, or 8.00 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2005. Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2006 included a negative adjustment of $3,491,000 related to unrealized holding losses, net of taxes, on investment securities available-for-sale, while shareholders' equity at December 31, 2005 includes a negative adjustment of $1,262,000. Without these adjustments shareholders' equity to total assets would have been 8.45 percent and 8.21 percent at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The increase in the ratio was a result of the rate of capital retention exceeding the rate of asset growth. Total assets increased 1.60 percent between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, while shareholders’ equity, excluding the net unrealized holding losses, increased 4.55 percent.

Shareholders' equity averaged $48,922,000 for the first six months of 2006 and $46,580,000 during all of 2005, an increase of 5.03 percent. The ratio of average total equity to average total assets increased to 8.38 percent for the first half of 2006, compared to 7.98 percent for all of 2005.

QNB is subject to various regulatory capital requirements as issued by Federal regulatory authorities. Regulatory capital is defined in terms of Tier I capital (shareholders’ equity excluding unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities and disallowed intangible assets), Tier II capital which includes the allowance for loan losses and a portion of the unrealized gains on equity securities, and total capital (Tier I plus Tier II). Risk-based capital ratios are expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are determined by assigning various weights to all assets and off-balance sheet arrangements, such as letters of credit and loan commitments, based on associated risk. Regulators have also adopted minimum Tier I leverage ratio standards, which measure the ratio of Tier I capital to total quarterly average assets.

The minimum regulatory capital ratios are 4.00 percent for Tier I, 8.00 percent for the total risk-based and 4.00 percent for leverage. Under the requirements, QNB had a Tier I capital ratio of 13.02 percent and 13.04 percent, a total risk-based ratio of 13.70 percent and 13.77 percent and a leverage ratio of 8.48 percent and 8.15 percent at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The slight decrease in the risk-based capital ratios reflects the increase in risk weighed assets, resulting principally from a shift in assets from investment securities to loans, at a faster growth rate than the growth in risk-based capital, while the increase in the leverage ratio reflects the growth in Tier I capital exceeding the growth in average assets.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY (Continued)

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 established five capital level designations ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, QNB met the "well capitalized" criteria, which requires minimum Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios of 6.00 percent and 10.00 percent, respectively, and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5.00 percent.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Since the assets and liabilities of QNB have diverse repricing characteristics that influence net interest income, management analyzes interest sensitivity through the use of gap analysis and simulation models. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to minimize the effect of interest rate changes on net interest margins and interest rate spreads and to provide growth in net interest income through periods of changing interest rates. The Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is responsible for managing interest rate risk and for evaluating the impact of changing interest rate conditions on net interest income.

Gap analysis measures the difference between volumes of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and quantifies these repricing differences for various time intervals. Static gap analysis describes interest rate sensitivity at a point in time. However, it alone does not accurately measure the magnitude of changes in net interest income because changes in interest rates do not impact all categories of assets and liabilities equally or simultaneously. Interest rate sensitivity analysis also involves assumptions on certain categories of assets and deposits. For purposes of interest rate sensitivity analysis, assets and liabilities are stated at their contractual maturity, estimated likely call date, or earliest repricing opportunity. Mortgage-backed securities, CMOs and amortizing loans are scheduled based on their anticipated cash flow. Savings accounts, including passbook, statement savings, money market, and interest-bearing demand accounts, do not have stated maturities or repricing terms and can be withdrawn or repriced at any time. This may impact QNB’s margin if more expensive alternative sources of deposits are required to fund loans or deposit runoff. Management projects the repricing characteristics of these accounts based on historical performance and assumptions that it believes reflect their rate sensitivity. The Treasury Select Indexed Money Market account reprices monthly, based on a percentage of the average of the 91-day Treasury bill rate.

A positive gap results when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds interest rate sensitive liabilities. A negative gap results when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds interest rate sensitive assets.

QNB primarily focuses on the management of the one-year interest rate sensitivity gap. At June 30, 2006, interest-earning assets scheduled to mature or likely to be called, repriced or repaid in one year were $169,541,000. Interest-sensitive liabilities scheduled to mature or reprice within one year were $275,131,000. The one-year cumulative gap, which reflects QNB’s interest sensitivity over a period of time, was a negative

$105,590,000 at June 30, 2006. The cumulative one-year gap equals -18.66 percent of total rate sensitive assets. This compares to a negative gap position of $39,123,000, or -7.04 percent of total rate sensitive assets, at December 31, 2005. The increase in the negative gap position in the one-year time frame was a result of changes in the repricing and maturity structure of both the assets and liabilities. On the asset side, the amount of assets maturing or repricing declined by $10,472,000 from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily caused by the extension of the average life of the portfolio resulting from an increase in interest rates. Higher interest rates cause the prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and CMOs to slow. On the liability side, the amount of time deposits maturing or repricing in less than one year increased significantly. At June 30, 2006 $132,711,000, or 64.7 percent, of total time deposits was scheduled to reprice or mature in the next twelve months. This level compares to $95,840,000, or 45.4 percent, of total time

deposits at December 31, 2005. In addition, balances in the Treasury Select Money Market account increased by $16,629,000 between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006. Both of these events reflect consumers desire to invest in shorter term investments whose rates have already increased significantly and which could increase further if market rates continue to increase. This negative gap position has contributed to the decline in the net interest margin as interest rates have increased on a greater amount of liabilities than earning assets.

QNB also uses a simulation model to assess the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. The model reflects management’s assumptions related to asset yields and rates paid on liabilities, deposit sensitivity, and the size, composition and maturity or repricing characteristics of the balance sheet. The assumptions are based on what management believes at that time to be the most likely interest rate environment. Management also evaluates the impact of higher and lower interest rates by simulating the impact on net interest income of changing rates. While management performs rate shocks of 100, 200 and 300 basis points, it believes, that given the level of interest rates at June 30, 2006, that it is unlikely that interest rates would decline by 300 basis points. The simulation results can be found in the chart on page 35.

The decline in net interest income in a rising rate environment is consistent with the gap analysis and reflects the fixed-rate nature of the investment and loan portfolio and the increased expense associated with higher costing deposits and short-term borrowings. Also, impacting net interest income in a rising rate environment would be the conversion of some of the borrowings from the FHLB from fixed rate to variable rate tied to LIBOR. If converted, QNB has the option to return the borrowings to the FHLB without penalty. Net interest income increases slightly if rates would to decline by 100 basis points. This is consistent with the results of the gap analysis. However, in the 200 basis point down scenario, net interest income declines, reflecting the hypothetical interest rate floors on interest-bearing transaction accounts, regular money market accounts and savings accounts. Interest rates on these products do not have the ability to decline to the degree that rates on earning assets can. These results are inconsistent with the gap analysis and identify some of the weaknesses of gap analysis which does not take into consideration the magnitude of the rate change on different instruments or the timing of the rate change.

Actual results may differ from simulated results due to various factors including time, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, the relationship or spread between various rates, loan pricing and deposit sensitivity, and asset/liability strategies.

Management believes that the assumptions utilized in evaluating the vulnerability of QNB’s net interest income to changes in interest rates approximate actual experience. However, the interest rate sensitivity of QNB’s assets and liabilities as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on net interest income could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience differs from the experience on which the assumptions were based.

The nature of QNB’s current operation is such that it is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Additionally, neither the Corporation nor the Bank owns trading assets. At June 30, 2006, QNB did not have any hedging transactions in place such as interest rate swaps, caps or floors.
