Notes to Interim Financial Statements
(In thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)
 
1. Basis of Presentation
 
The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods.  Because the financial statements cover an interim period, they do not include all disclosures and notes normally provided in annual financial statements, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

2. Common Stock and Basic Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were based on weighted average shares outstanding of 12,895,384 and 12,915,259, respectively.
 
Basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were based on weighted average shares outstanding of 12,943,166 and 12,926,343, respectively.

Since the Company has no common stock equivalents outstanding, there are no diluted earnings per share.
 
On March 11, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program granting the Company authority to repurchase up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock from time to time.  Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.  The Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.  During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company repurchased and retired 207,440 and 82,413 shares, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company repurchased and retired 235,420 and 93,052, respectively.  As of June 30, 2014, 870,166 shares remain available for repurchase.

Employer Contributions
 
The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 that it expected to contribute $2,182 to its pension plans in 2014.  As of June 30, 2014, contributions of $2,182 had been made.  At this time, the Company does not expect to contribute any additional amount during the remainder of 2014.


4. Interest Rate Swap Agreement
 
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations.  The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk.  The Company utilizes an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert the Company's $12,000 variable-rate debt issue to a fixed rate.  Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate cash flows are exchanged over a prescribed period.  The notional amount on which the interest payments are based ($12,000) is not exchanged.  The interest rate swap provides that the Company pays the counterparty a fixed interest rate of 3.16% on the notional amount of $12,000.  In exchange, the counterparty pays the Company a variable interest rate based on 59% of LIBOR on the notional amount.  The intent is for the variable rate received from the swap counterparty to approximate the variable rate the Company pays to bondholders on its variable rate debt issue, resulting in a fixed rate being paid to the swap counterparty and reducing the Company's interest rate risk.  The Company's net payment rate on the swap was 3.06% during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 3.03% during the six months ended June 30, 2014 .
 
The interest rate swap agreement is classified as a financial derivative used for non-trading activities.  The professional standards regarding accounting for derivatives and hedging activities require companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet.  In accordance with the standards, the interest rate swap is recorded on the balance sheet in other deferred credits at fair value (see Note 5).
 
The Company uses regulatory accounting treatment rather than hedge accounting to defer the unrealized gains and losses on its interest rate swap.  Instead of the effective portion being recorded as other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion being recognized in earnings using the cash flow hedge accounting rules provided by the derivative accounting standards, the entire unrealized swap value is recorded as a regulatory asset.  Based on current ratemaking treatment, the Company expects the unrealized gains and losses to be recognized in rates as a component of interest expense as the swap settlements occur.  Swap settlements are recorded in the income statement with the hedged item as interest expense.  During the three months ended June 30, 2014, $92 was reclassified from regulatory assets to interest expense as a result of swap settlements.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , $183 was reclassified from regulatory assets to interest expense as a result of swap settlements.  The overall swap result was a loss of $317 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and a loss of $702 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 .  The Company expects to reclassify $364 from regulatory assets to interest expense as a result of swap settlements over the next 12 months.
 
The interest rate swap agreement contains provisions that require the Company to maintain a credit rating of at least BBB- with Standard & Poor's.  If the Company's rating were to fall below this rating, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparty to the derivative could request immediate payment if the derivative was in a liability position.  On April 11, 2014, Standard & Poor's affirmed the Company's credit rating at A-, with a stable outlook and adequate liquidity.  The Company's interest rate swap was in a liability position as of June 30, 2014 .  If a violation due to credit rating, or some other default provision, were triggered on June 30, 2014, the Company would have been required to pay the counterparty approximately $2,196.
 
The interest rate swap will expire on October 1, 2029.  Other than the interest rate swap, the Company has no other derivative instruments.

5. Fair Value Measurements
 
The professional standards regarding fair value measurements establish a fair value hierarchy which indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.  Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.  Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, commodity rates and yield curves.  Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management's own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
The Company has recorded its interest rate swap liability at fair value in accordance with the standards.  The liability is recorded under the caption "Other deferred credits" on the balance sheet.  The table below illustrates the fair value of the interest rate swap as of the end of the reporting period.

Fair values are measured as the present value of all expected future cash flows based on the LIBOR-based swap yield curve as of the date of the valuation.  These inputs to this calculation are deemed to be Level 2 inputs.  The balance sheet carrying value reflects the Company's credit quality as of June 30, 2014.  The rate used in discounting all prospective cash flows anticipated to be made under this swap reflects a representation of the yield to maturity for 30-year debt on utilities rated A- as of June 30, 2014.  The use of the Company's credit rating resulted in a reduction in the fair value of the swap liability of $37 as of June 30, 2014.  The fair value of the swap reflecting the Company's credit quality as of December 31, 2013 is shown in the table below.

The carrying amount of current assets and liabilities that are considered financial instruments approximates fair value as of the dates presented.  The Company's long-term debt (including current maturities), with a carrying value of $84,907 at June 30, 2014, and $84,928 at December 31, 2013, had an estimated fair value of approximately $96,000 and $94,000, respectively.  The estimated fair value of debt was calculated using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration and risk profile.  These inputs to this calculation are deemed to be Level 2 inputs.  The Company recognized its credit rating in determining the yield curve, and did not factor in third party credit enhancements including bond insurance on the 2004 PEDFA Series A and 2006 Industrial Development Authority issues, and the letter of credit on the 2008 PEDFA Series A issue. 

Customers' advances for construction and notes receivable have carrying values at June 30, 2014 of $11,468 and $280, respectively.  At December 31, 2013, customers' advances for construction and notes receivable had carrying values of $11,636 and $306, respectively.  The relative fair values of these amounts cannot be accurately estimated since the timing of future payment streams is dependent upon several factors, including new customer connections, customer consumption levels and future rate increases.

On April 25, 2014, the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (the “PEDFA”) issued $14,880 aggregate principal amount of PEDFA Exempt Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2014 (the “Series 2014 Bonds”) for the Company’s benefit pursuant to the terms of a trust indenture, dated as of April 1, 2014, between the PEDFA and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as trustee.  The PEDFA then loaned the proceeds of the offering of the Series 2014 Bonds to the Company pursuant to a loan agreement, dated as of April 1, 2014, between the Company and the PEDFA.  The loan bears interest at a rate of 4.50% payable semiannually.  The maturity date of the loan is November 1, 2038.  Amounts outstanding under the loan agreement are direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company.  The proceeds of the loan were used to redeem the 6.00% PEDFA Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2008B.

The Series 2014 Bonds contain both optional and special redemption provisions.  Under the optional provisions, the Company can redeem all or a portion of the bonds on or after May 1, 2019.  Under the special provisions, representatives of deceased beneficial owners of the bonds have the right to request redemption prior to the stated maturity of all or part of their interest in the bonds beginning on or after May 1, 2014.  The Company is not obligated to redeem any individual interest exceeding $25, or aggregate interest exceeding $300, in any annual period.  Currently, no bonds that met the special provisions have been tendered for redemption.

In May 2014, the Company renewed its $13,000 committed line of credit and extended the maturity date to May 2016.

In June 2014, the Company renewed its $11,000 committed line of credit and extended the maturity date to May 2016, and its $5,000 committed line of credit and extended the maturity date to June 2015.

7. Acquisitions
 
On February 7, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of the wastewater facilities of East Prospect Borough Authority in York County, Pennsylvania.  The Company began operating the existing collection and treatment facilities on February 8, 2014.  The acquisition resulted in the addition of approximately 400 wastewater customers with purchase price and acquisition costs to date of approximately $281, which is less than the depreciated original cost of the assets.  The Company recorded a negative acquisition adjustment of approximately $667 and will seek approval from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, or PPUC, to amortize the negative acquisition adjustment over the remaining life of the acquired assets.
 
On May 30, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of the water assets of Forest Lakes Water Association in York County, Pennsylvania.  The Company began operating the existing system through an interconnection with its current distribution system on June 2, 2014.  The acquisition resulted in the addition of approximately 70 water customers with purchase price and acquisition costs to date of approximately $32.

The results of these acquisitions have been immaterial to total Company results.
 
8. Rate Matters
 
From time to time, the Company files applications for rate increases with the PPUC and is granted rate relief as a result of such requests.  The most recent rate request was filed by the Company on March 29, 2013 and sought an increase in rates designed to produce additional annual water revenues of $7,116 and additional annual wastewater revenues of $28.  Effective February 28, 2014, the PPUC authorized an increase in water rates designed to produce approximately $4,972 in additional annual revenues, and an increase in wastewater rates for the Asbury Pointe subdivision to produce approximately $28 in additional annual revenues.
 
The PPUC permits water utilities to collect a distribution system improvement charge (DSIC). The DSIC allows the Company to add a charge to customers' bills for qualified replacement costs of certain infrastructure without submitting a rate filing. This surcharge mechanism typically adjusts periodically based on additional qualified capital expenditures completed or anticipated in a future period. The DSIC is capped at 5% of base rates, and is reset to zero when new base rates that reflect the costs of those additions become effective or when a utility's earnings exceed a regulatory benchmark.  The surcharge reset to zero when the new base rates took effect on February 28, 2014.  The DSIC provided revenues of $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $340 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The DSIC provided revenue of $283 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $667 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
9. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.   This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605—Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Codification.  The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

General Information

The primary business of the Company is to impound, purify to meet or exceed safe drinking water standards and distribute water.  The Company also operates two wastewater collection and treatment systems.  The Company operates within its franchised water territory, which covers 39 municipalities within York County, Pennsylvania and eight municipalities within Adams County, Pennsylvania.  The Company's wastewater operations include portions of three municipalities in York County, Pennsylvania.  The Company is regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, or PPUC, in the areas of billing, payment procedures, dispute processing, terminations, service territory, debt and equity financing and rate setting.  The Company must obtain PPUC approval before changing any practices associated with the aforementioned areas.

Water service is supplied through the Company's own distribution system.  The Company obtains the bulk of its water supply from both the South Branch and East Branch of the Codorus Creek, which together have an average daily flow of 73.0 million gallons.  This combined watershed area is approximately 117 square miles.  The Company has two reservoirs, Lake Williams and Lake Redman, which together hold up to approximately 2.2 billion gallons of water.  The Company has a 15-mile pipeline from the Susquehanna River to Lake Redman which provides access to an additional supply of 12.0 million gallons of untreated water per day.  The Company also owns two wells which are capable of providing a safe yield of approximately 100,000 gallons per day to supply water to its customers in Carroll Valley, Adams County.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company's average daily availability was 35.1 million gallons, and average daily consumption was approximately 18.3 million gallons.  The Company's service territory had an estimated population of 190,000 as of December 31, 2013.  Industry within the Company's service territory is diversified, manufacturing such items as fixtures and furniture, electrical machinery, food products, paper, ordnance units, textile products, injectable drug delivery systems, air conditioning systems, laundry detergent, barbells and motorcycles.

The Company's water business is somewhat dependent on weather conditions, particularly the amount and timing of rainfall.  Revenues are particularly vulnerable to weather conditions in the summer months.  Prolonged periods of hot and dry weather generally cause increased water usage for watering lawns, washing cars, and keeping golf courses and sports fields irrigated.  Conversely, prolonged periods of dry weather could lead to drought restrictions from governmental authorities.  Despite the Company's adequate water supply, customers may be required to cut back water usage under such drought restrictions which would negatively impact revenues.  The Company has addressed some of this vulnerability by instituting minimum customer charges which are intended to cover fixed costs of operations under all likely weather conditions.

The Company's business does not require large amounts of working capital and is not dependent on any single customer or a very few customers for a material portion of its business.  Increases in revenues are generally dependent on the Company's ability to obtain rate increases from the PPUC in a timely manner and in adequate amounts and to increase volumes of water sold through increased consumption and increases in the number of customers served.  The Company continuously looks for water and wastewater acquisition and expansion opportunities both within and outside its current service territory as well as additional opportunities to enter into bulk water contracts with municipalities and other entities to supply water.

The Company also looks for related opportunities to expand its offerings.  The Company has agreements with several municipalities to provide sewer billing services.  The Company also has a service line protection program on a targeted basis in order to further diversify its business.  Under this optional program, customers pay a fixed monthly fee, and the Company will repair or replace damaged customer service lines, as needed, subject to an annual maximum dollar amount.  The Company plans to continue to expand its program.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared
With Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $2,757, an increase of $415, or 17.7%, from net income of $2,342 for the same period of 2013.  The primary contributing factors to the increase were higher operating revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $1,031, or 9.6%, from $10,737 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $11,768 for the corresponding 2014 period.  The primary reasons for the increase were an 11.7% rate increase effective February 28, 2014, non-recurring revenues of approximately $108 received for a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation realignment project and the cancellation of a cellular lease, and the addition of East Prospect wastewater revenues of approximately $62.  Total per capita consumption for the second quarter of 2014 was 1.8% lower than the same period of last year.  The average number of water customers served in 2014 increased as compared to 2013 by 383 customers, from 63,749 to 64,132 customers.  The average number of wastewater customers served in 2014 increased as compared to 2013 by 406 customers, from 231 to 637 customers, due to the acquisition.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 increased $532, or 9.8%, from $5,436 for the second quarter of 2013 to $5,968 for the corresponding 2014 period.  The increase was primarily due to higher pension expense of approximately $177, increased salary and wage expense of approximately $109 and higher distribution system maintenance expense of $60 due to main breaks.  Also adding to the increase were higher expenses of $37 for insurance, $34 for rate case and $33 for wastewater treatment.  Other expenses increased by a net of $114.  The increase in expenses was partially offset by reduced depreciation expense of $32 due to an adjustment to depreciation rates recorded during the second quarter of 2013.

Interest expense on debt for the second quarter of 2014 decreased $42, or 3.2%, from $1,312 for the second quarter of 2013 to $1,270 for the corresponding 2014 period.  The decrease was due to the refinancing of one of the Company's bond issues at a lower rate on April 25, 2014 (see Note 6 to the financial statements).  There were no borrowings under the lines of credit during the second quarter of either year.

Allowance for funds used during construction increased $42, from $14 in the second quarter of 2013 to $56 in the 2014 period, due to a higher volume of eligible construction.

Other income (expenses), net for the second quarter of 2014 reflects decreased expenses of $64 as compared to the same period of 2013.  The net change was primarily due to higher earnings on life insurance policies of approximately $62 and reduced charitable contributions of $26.  The decreased expenses were partially offset by higher retirement expense of approximately $16 and increased other expenses aggregating approximately $8.

Income taxes for the second quarter of 2014 increased $232, or 15.5%, compared to the same period of 2013 due to higher taxable income.  The Company's effective tax rate was 38.5% for the second quarter of 2014 and 39.0% for the second quarter of 2013.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared
With Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Net income for the first six months of 2014 was $4,868, an increase of $387, or 8.6%, from net income of $4,481 for the same period of 2013.  The primary contributing factors to the increase were higher operating revenues partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $1,533, or 7.4%, from $20,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $22,339 for the corresponding 2014 period.  The primary reasons for the increase were an 11.7% rate increase effective February 28, 2014 and the addition of East Prospect wastewater revenues of approximately $100.  Total per capita consumption for the first six months of 2014 was 0.6% lower than the same period of last year.  The average number of water customers served in 2014 increased as compared to 2013 by 394 customers, from 63,664 to 64,058 customers.  The average number of wastewater customers served in 2014 increased as compared to 2013 by 269 customers, from 232 to 501 customers, due to the acquisition.  For the remainder of the year, the Company expects revenues to increase due to the increase in rates and an increase in the number of water and wastewater customers due to previously announced acquisitions.  Other regulatory actions and weather patterns could impact results.

Page 15
Operating expenses for the first six months of 2014 increased $1,049, or 9.8%, from $10,732 for the first six months of 2013 to $11,781 for the corresponding 2014 period.  The increase was primarily due to higher salary and wage expense of approximately $255, increased pension expense of $236, higher distribution system maintenance expense of $123 due to higher than average main breaks during the winter.  Also adding to the increase were higher expenses of $82 for depreciation, $62 for insurance, $58 for technology upgrade costs, $53 for wastewater treatment and $46 for rate case expense.  Other expenses increased by a net of $134.  For the remainder of the year, the Company expects depreciation expense to continue to rise due to additional investment in utility plant, and other expenses to increase at a moderate rate as costs to maintain and extend the distribution system continue to rise and as additional water and wastewater systems are acquired.

Interest expense on debt for the first six months of 2014 decreased $44, or 1.7%, from $2,622 for the first six months of 2013 to $2,578 for the corresponding 2014 period.  The decrease was due to the bond refinancing at a lower interest rate.  Interest expense will continue at the reduced rate over the remainder of the year.  There were no borrowings under the lines of credit during the first six months of either year.

Allowance for funds used during construction increased $54, from $45 in the first six months of 2013 to $99 in the 2014 period, due to a higher volume of eligible construction.  Allowance for funds used during construction is expected to remain level based on a similar amount of construction expenditures projected over the remainder of the year.

Other income (expenses), net for the first six months of 2014 reflects decreased expenses of $24 as compared to the same period of 2013.  The net change was primarily due to lower charitable contributions of $52 as a result of a reduced Educational Improvement Tax Credits in 2014.  The decreased expenses were partially offset by higher retirement expenses of $18 and increased other expenses aggregating approximately $10.  For the remainder of the year, the Company expects retirement expenses to continue to rise.  These expenses may be offset or further heightened by changes in market returns and discount rates for retirement programs and related assets.

Income taxes for the first six months of 2014 increased $219, or 7.9%, compared to the same period of 2013 due to higher taxable income.  The Company's effective tax rate was 38.1% for the first six months of 2014 and 38.3% for the first six months of 2013.  The Company expects the effective tax rate to decrease following the required implementation of the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, tangible property regulations.  See the Deferred Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions section included herein for additional details.
 
Rate Matters

See Note 8 to the financial statements.

The Company does not expect to collect a distribution system improvement charge before the second half of 2015.

Acquisitions

See Note 7 to the financial statements.

On October 8, 2013, the Company signed an agreement to purchase the wastewater assets of SYC WWTP, L.P. in Shrewsbury and Springfield Townships,   York County, Pennsylvania.  Completion of the acquisition is contingent upon receiving approval from all required regulatory authorities.  Closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2014 at which time the Company will add approximately 30 commercial and industrial wastewater customers.

Page 16
On January 10, 2014, the Company signed an agreement to purchase the Lincoln Estates Mobile Home Park water assets of Rupa, Inc. and Lincoln Development Co. in Adams County, Pennsylvania.  Completion of the acquisition is contingent upon receiving approval from all required regulatory authorities.  The Company expects to begin serving approximately 200 new customers as a satellite system in the fourth quarter of 2014.

On May 21, 2014, the Company signed an agreement to purchase the water assets of the Paradise Homes Community in York County, Pennsylvania.  Completion of this acquisition is contingent upon receiving approval from all required regulatory authorities.  The Company expects to begin serving approximately 90 new customers through an interconnection with its current distribution system in the fourth quarter of 2014.

These acquisitions are expected to be immaterial to total Company results.

The Company is also pursuing other water and wastewater acquisitions in and around its service territory to help offset any further declines in per capita water consumption and to grow its business.
 
Capital Expenditures

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company invested $5,107 in construction expenditures for routine items and further upgrades to water treatment facilities as well as various replacements of infrastructure.  In addition, the Company invested $313 in the acquisition of water and wastewater systems.  The Company was able to fund construction expenditures and acquisitions using internally-generated funds and proceeds from its stock purchase plans.

The Company anticipates construction expenditures for the remainder of 2014 of approximately $5,000 exclusive of any potential acquisitions.  In addition to routine transmission and distribution projects, a portion of the anticipated expenditures will be for additional main extensions, further upgrades to water treatment facilities, and various replacements and improvements to infrastructure.  The Company intends to use primarily cash on hand, internally-generated funds, and proceeds from its stock purchase plans for its anticipated construction and fund the remainder through line of credit borrowings and customer advances and contributions.  Customer advances and contributions are expected to account for less than 5% of funding requirements in 2014.  The Company believes it will have adequate availability under its lines of credit and cash on hand to meet its anticipated capital needs in 2014.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash
The Company manages its cash through a cash management account that is directly connected to a line of credit.  Excess cash generated automatically pays down outstanding borrowings under the line of credit arrangement.  If there are no outstanding borrowings, the cash is used as an earnings credit to reduce banking fees.  Likewise, if additional funds are needed beyond what is generated internally for payroll, to pay suppliers, or to pay debt service, funds are automatically borrowed under the line of credit.  The Company has an accumulated cash balance of $2,083 as of June 30, 2014 due to increased funds from operations in prior years primarily due to lower cash required for income taxes as a result of bonus depreciation and lower than expected capital expenditures.  Cash on hand declined during the first six months of 2014 primarily due to a contribution to the pension trusts and the buyback of stock under the share repurchase program.  The Company expects the cash balance to remain steady during the remainder of 2014 as cash from operations and proceeds from its stock purchase plans are expected to offset capital expenditures and dividend payments.  The potential buyback of stock under the share repurchase program and any potential acquisitions would result in a decline in the cash balance.  After the cash balance is fully utilized, the cash management facility is expected to provide the necessary liquidity and funding for the Company's operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions and potential buybacks of stock for the foreseeable future.
Page 17
Accounts Receivable
The accounts receivable balance tends to follow the change in revenues but is also affected by the timeliness of payments by customers and the level of the reserve for doubtful accounts.  The Company has seen an improvement in the timeliness of payments by its customers.  A reserve is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated based on inactive accounts with outstanding balances.  Management periodically evaluates the adequacy of the reserve based on past experience, agings of the receivables, adverse situations that may affect a customer's ability to pay, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors.  If the status of these factors deteriorates, the Company may incur additional expenses for uncollectible accounts and experience a reduction in its internally-generated funds.

Internally-generated Funds
The amount of internally-generated funds available for operations and construction depends on the Company's ability to obtain timely and adequate rate relief, changes in regulations, customers' water usage, weather conditions, customer growth and controlled expenses.  In the first six months of 2014, the Company generated $7,410 internally from operations, similar to the $7,484 it generated in the first six months of 2013.  An increase in net income was offset by higher income taxes paid.  The Company expects average quarterly internally-generated funds to be higher over the remainder of the year due to higher revenues and lower payments for interest and taxes.

Credit Lines
Historically, the Company has borrowed $15,000 to $20,000 under its lines of credit before refinancing with long-term debt or equity capital.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company maintained unsecured lines of credit aggregating $29,000 with three banks at interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.20% to LIBOR plus 1.50%.  The Company had no outstanding borrowings under any of its lines of credit as of June 30, 2014.  In May and June 2014, the Company renewed two of its committed lines of credit aggregating $24,000 and extended the maturity date to May 2016.  In June 2014, the Company renewed its $5,000 committed line of credit and extended the maturity date to June 2015.

The Company has taken steps to manage the risk of reduced credit availability by maintaining committed lines of credit that cannot be called on demand and obtaining a 2-year revolving maturity on its larger facilities.  There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient lines of credit with favorable terms in the future.  In addition, if the Company is unable to refinance its line of credit borrowings with long-term debt or equity when necessary, it may have to eliminate or postpone capital expenditures.  Management believes the Company will have adequate capacity under its current lines of credit to meet anticipated financing needs throughout 2014.

Long-term Debt
The Company's loan agreements contain various covenants and restrictions.  As of June 30, 2014, management believes it was in compliance with all of these restrictions.  See Note 4 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for additional information regarding these restrictions.

On April 25, 2014, the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (the "PEDFA") issued $14,880 aggregate principal amount of PEDFA Exempt Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2014 (the "Series 2014 Bonds") for the Company's benefit pursuant to the terms of a trust indenture, dated as of April 1, 2014, between the PEDFA and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as trustee.  The PEDFA then loaned the proceeds of the offering of the Series 2014 Bonds to the Company pursuant to a loan agreement, dated as of April 1, 2014, between the Company and the PEDFA.  The loan bears interest at a rate of 4.50% payable semiannually.  The maturity date of the loan is November 1, 2038.  Amounts outstanding under the loan agreement are direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company.  The proceeds of the loan were used to redeem the 6.00% PEDFA Exempt Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2008B.  The refinancing will reduce interest expense and lower the overall effective debt rate going forward.

The Series 2014 Bonds contain both optional and special redemption provisions.  Under the optional provisions, the Company can redeem all or a portion of the bonds on or after May 1, 2019.  Under the special provisions, representatives of deceased beneficial owners of the bonds have the right to request redemption prior to the stated maturity of all or part of their interest in the bonds beginning on or after May 1, 2014.  The Company is not obligated to redeem any individual interest exceeding $25, or aggregate interest exceeding $300, in any annual period.  Currently, no bonds that met the special provisions have been tendered for redemption.

Page 18
The Company's debt (long-term debt plus current portion of long-term debt) as a percentage of the total capitalization, defined as total common stockholders' equity plus long-term debt (including current portion of long-term debt), was 45.5% as of June 30, 2014, compared with 45.1% as of December 31, 2013.  The Company will likely allow the debt percentage to trend upward until it approaches fifty percent before matching increasing debt with additional equity.  A debt to total capitalization ratio between forty-six and fifty percent has historically been acceptable to the PPUC in rate filings.  Due to its recent ability to generate and retain cash internally, the Company has been able to keep its ratio below fifty percent.

Deferred Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company has seen an increase in its deferred income tax liability amounts over the last several years.  This is primarily a result of the accelerated and bonus depreciation deduction available for federal tax purposes which creates differences between book and tax depreciation expense.  Despite the expiration of bonus depreciation, the Company expects this trend to continue as it makes significant investments in capital expenditures and implements the IRS tangible property regulations.

The Company has a substantial deferred income tax asset primarily due to the differences between the book and tax balances of the pension and deferred compensation plans, although the balance has declined recently due to an increase in the discount rate.  The Company does not believe a valuation allowance is required due to the expected generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  The Company has determined there are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition as of June 30, 2014.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the IRS regulations that allow an alternative method for determining how capital expenditures can be treated for federal tax purposes, allowing certain expenditures that were historically considered as capital for tax purposes to now be eligible to be deducted on federal tax returns as expenses.  In addition, a catch up repair tax deduction, retroactive for a number of prior years, is permitted to be deducted on the 2014 federal tax return.  Under the accounting standards regarding rate-regulated activities, this change may lower the effective tax rate of the Company which would lower income tax expense and increase net income.  The Company expects to record an estimate of the adjustment during the second half of 2014.  Initially, the catch up portion of the deduction is expected to be recorded on the balance sheet, and ongoing, annual deductions are expected to affect tax expense and net income.

Common Stock
Common stockholders' equity as a percent of the total capitalization was 54.5% as of June 30, 2014, compared with 54.9% as of December 31, 2013.  The volume of share repurchases could reduce this percentage in the future.  It is the Company's intent to target a ratio between fifty and fifty-four percent.

Credit Rating
On April 11, 2014, Standard & Poor's affirmed the Company's credit rating at A-, with a stable outlook and adequate liquidity.  The Company's ability to maintain its credit rating depends, among other things, on adequate and timely rate relief, which it has been successful in obtaining, its ability to fund capital expenditures in a balanced manner using both debt and equity and its ability to generate cash flow.  The Company's objectives are to continue to maximize its funds provided by operations and maintain a strong capital structure.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments the Company used in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results reported in its financial statements.  The Company's accounting policies require management to make subjective judgments because of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.  The Company's most critical accounting estimates include regulatory assets and liabilities, revenue recognition and accounting for its pension plans.  There has been no significant change in accounting estimates or the method of estimation during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Page 19
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not use off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations that may have a material current or future effect on financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources or significant components of revenues or expenses.  The Company does not use securitization of receivables or unconsolidated entities. The Company uses a derivative financial instrument, an interest rate swap agreement discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements included herein, for risk management purposes.  The Company does not engage in trading or other risk management activities, does not use other derivative financial instruments for any purpose, has no lease obligations, no guarantees and does not have material transactions involving related parties.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's operations are exposed to market risks primarily as a result of changes in interest rates under its lines of credit.  The Company has unsecured lines of credit with three banks having a combined maximum availability of $29,000.  The first line of credit, in the amount of $13,000, is a committed line of credit with a revolving 2-year maturity (currently May 2016), and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.20%.  The second line of credit, in the amount of $11,000, is a committed line of credit, which currently matures in May 2016 and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.25%.  The third line of credit, in the amount of $5,000, is a committed line of credit, which matures in June 2015 and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%.  The Company had no outstanding borrowings under any of its lines of credit as of June 30, 2014.  Other than lines of credit, the Company has long-term fixed rate debt obligations as discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements included herein and a variable rate Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (PEDFA) loan agreement described below.

In May 2008, the PEDFA issued $12,000 aggregate principal amount of PEDFA Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series A (the "Bonds").  The proceeds of this bond issue were used to refund the $12,000 PEDFA Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series B of 2004 which were refunded due to bond insurer downgrading issues.  The PEDFA then loaned the proceeds to the Company pursuant to a variable interest rate loan agreement with a maturity date of October 1, 2029.  The interest rate under this loan agreement averaged 0.10% during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 0.08% during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  In connection with the loan agreement, the Company retained its interest rate swap agreement whereby the Company effectively exchanged its floating rate obligation for a fixed rate obligation.  The purpose of the interest rate swap is to manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the interest rate.  If the interest rate swap agreement works as intended, the receive rate on the swap should approximate the variable rate the Company pays on the PEDFA Series A Bond Issue, thereby minimizing its risk.  See Note 4 to the financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the interest rate swap.

In addition to the interest rate swap agreement, the Company entered into a Reimbursement, Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association ("the Bank"), dated as of May 1, 2008, in order to enhance the marketability of and to minimize the interest rate on the Bonds.  This agreement provides for a direct pay letter of credit issued by the Bank to the trustee for the Bonds.  The current expiration date of the letter of credit is June 30, 2017.  It is reviewed annually for a potential extension of the expiration date.  The Company's responsibility under this agreement is to reimburse the Bank on a timely basis for interest payments made to the bondholders and for any tendered Bonds that could not be remarketed.  The Company has fourteen months from the time Bonds are tendered to reimburse the Bank.  If the direct pay letter of credit is not renewed, the Company would be required to pay the Bank immediately for any tendered Bonds and reclassify a portion of the Bonds as current liabilities.  In addition, the interest rate swap agreement would terminate causing a potential payment by the Company to the counterparty.  Both the letter of credit and the swap agreement can potentially be transferred upon this type of event.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon this evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective such that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
Part II – OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

EXHIBIT 14
THE YORK WATER COMPANY
Policy
Approved by: Board of Directors
Date: February 24, 2003
Revision: July 7, 2014

CODE OF CONDUCT

The reputation and integrity of The York Water Company (the "Company") are valuable assets that are vital to the Company's success.  Each employee and Board member of the Company, including each of the Company's officers, is responsible for conducting the Company's business in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of integrity.  No Code of Conduct can replace the thoughtful behavior of an ethical employee or Board member.  The purpose of this Code is to focus employees and Board members on areas of ethical risk, provide guidance to help employees and Board members to recognize and deal with ethical issues, provide mechanisms for employees and Board members to report unethical conduct, and foster among employees and Board members a culture of honesty and accountability.  Dishonest or unethical conduct or conduct that is illegal will constitute a violation of this Code, regardless of whether such conduct is specifically referenced herein.

The Company's Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for the implementation of the Code of Conduct.  The Board has designated the Secretary to be the compliance officer (the "Compliance Officer") for the implementation and administration of the Code.

Questions regarding the application or interpretation of the Code of Conduct are inevitable.  Employees and Board members should feel free to direct questions to the Compliance Officer.  In addition, employees and Board members who observe, learn of, or, in good faith, suspect a violation of the Code, must immediately report the violation to the Compliance Officer, another member of the Company's senior management, or to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  Employees and Board members who report violations or suspected violations in good faith will not be subject to retaliation of any kind.  Reported violations will be investigated and addressed promptly and will be treated confidentially to the extent possible.  A violation of the Code of Conduct may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or Board membership.

Requests for a waiver of a provision of the Code of Conduct must be submitted in writing to the Compliance Officer for appropriate review, and an officer, director or appropriate Board committee will decide the outcome.  For conduct involving an executive officer or Board member, only the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee of the Board has the authority to waive a provision of the Code.    In the event of an approved waiver involving the conduct of an officer or Board member, appropriate and prompt disclosure must be made to the Company's shareholders as and to the extent required by listing standards or any other regulation.

Statements in the Code of Conduct to the effect that certain actions may be taken only with "Company approval" will be interpreted to mean that appropriate officers or Board directors must give prior written approval before the proposed action may be undertaken.

Employees will receive periodic training, but not less than once every three years, on the contents and importance of the Code of Conduct and related policies and the manner in which violations must be reported and waivers must be requested.  Each officer of the Company will be asked to certify on an annual basis that he/she is in full compliance with the Code of Conduct and related policy statements.

I. Violations of Law

A variety of laws apply to the Company and its operations, and some carry criminal penalties.  These laws include banking regulations, securities laws, environmental protection laws, and state laws relating to duties owed by corporate directors and officers.  Examples of criminal violations of the law include: stealing, embezzling, misapplying corporate or bank funds, using threats, physical force or other unauthorized means to collect money; making a payment for an expressed purpose on the Company's behalf to an individual who intends to use it for a different purpose; or making payments, whether corporate or personal, of cash or other items of value that are intended to influence the judgment or actions of political candidates, government officials or businesses in connection with any of the Company's activities.  The Company must and will report all suspected criminal violations to the appropriate authorities for possible prosecution, and will investigate, address and report, as appropriate, non-criminal violations.

II. Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest can occur or appear to occur in a wide variety of situations.  Generally speaking a conflict of interest occurs when an employee's or an employee's immediate family's personal interest interferes with, has the potential to interfere with, or appears to interfere with the interests or business of the Company.  For example, a conflict of interest could arise that makes it difficult for an employee or Board member to perform corporate duties objectively and effectively where he/she is involved in a competing interest.  Another such conflict may occur where an employee or a family member receives a gift 1 , a unique advantage, or an improper personal benefit as a result of the employee's or Board member's position at the Company.  Because a conflict of interest can occur in a variety of situations, you must keep the foregoing general principle in mind in evaluating both your conduct and that of others.  Related party transactions are discouraged, but may be necessary or beneficial under certain circumstances.  The Audit Committee must review and approve any "related party" transaction as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K before it is consummated.  The Company's Related Party Transaction Policy is incorporated by reference into this Code.

Employees and Board members are prohibited from trading in securities while in possession of material inside information.  Among other things, trading while in possession of material inside information can subject the employee or Board member to criminal or civil penalties.  The Company's Securities Trades Policy is incorporated by reference into this Code.

OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES/EMPLOYMENT

Any outside activity, including employment, should not significantly encroach on the time and attention employees devote to their corporate duties, should not adversely affect the quality or quantity of their work, and should not make use of corporate equipment, facilities, or supplies, or imply (without the Company's approval), the Company's sponsorship or support.  In addition, under no circumstances are employees permitted to compete with the Company, or take for themselves or their family members business opportunities that belong to the Company that are discovered or made available by virtue of their positions at the Company.  Employees are prohibited from taking part in any outside employment without the Company's prior approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld unless the Company determines that said employment violates this Code of Conduct.

CIVIC/POLITICAL ACTIVITIES

Employees are encouraged to participate in civic, charitable or political activities so long as such participation does not encroach on the time and attention they are expected to devote to their company-related duties.  Such activities are to be conducted in a manner that does not involve the Company or its assets or facilities, and does not create an appearance of Company involvement or endorsement.

LOANS TO EMPLOYEES

The Company will not make loans or extend credit guarantees to or for the personal benefit of officers, except as permitted by law.  Loans or guarantees may be extended to other employees only with Company approval.

III. Fair Dealing

Each employee should deal fairly and in good faith with the Company's customers, suppliers, regulators, business partners, and others.  No employee may take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, misrepresentation, inappropriate threats, fraud, abuse of confidential information, or other related conduct.

IV. Proper Use of Company Assets

Company assets, such as information, materials, supplies, time, intellectual property, facilities, software, and other assets owned or leased by the Company, or that are otherwise in the Company's possession, may be used only for legitimate business purposes.  The personal use of Company assets, without Company approval, is prohibited.

V. Delegation of Authority

Each employee, and particularly each of the Company's officers, must exercise due care to ensure that any delegation of authority is reasonable and appropriate in scope, and includes appropriate and continuous monitoring.  No authority may be delegated to employees who the Company has reason to believe, through the exercise of reasonable due diligence, may have a propensity to engage in illegal activities.

VI. Handling Confidential Information

Employees and Board members should observe the confidentiality of information that they acquire by virtue of their positions at the Company, including information concerning customers, suppliers, competitors, and other employees, except where disclosure is approved by the Company or otherwise legally mandated.  Of special sensitivity is financial information, which should under all circumstances be considered confidential except where its disclosure is approved by the Company, or when it has been publicly available in a periodic or special report for at least two business days.  The Company's Information Security Policy is incorporated by reference into this policy.

VII. Handling of Financial Information

Federal law requires the Company to set forth guidelines pursuant to which the principal executive officer and senior financial employees perform their duties.  Employees subject to this requirement include the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, controller or principal accounting officer, and any person who performs a similar function.  However, the Company expects that all employees who participate in the preparation of any part of the Company's financial statements follow these guidelines:

·
Act with honesty and integrity, avoiding violations of the code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Company in personal and professional relationships.
 
·
Disclose to the Compliance Officer any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to any violations of the code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Company.
 
·
Provide the Company's other employees, consultants, and advisors with information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely, and understandable.
 
·
Endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate, and understandable disclosure in the Company's periodic reports.
 
·
Comply with rules and regulations of federal, state, provincial and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies.
 
·
Act in good faith, responsibly, and with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing your independent judgment to be subordinated.
 
·
Respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of your work except where you have Company approval or where disclosure is otherwise legally mandated.  Confidential information acquired in the course of your work will not be used for personal advantage.
 
·
Share and maintain skills important and relevant to the Company's needs.
 
·
Proactively promote ethical behavior among peers in your work environment.
 
·
Achieve responsible use of and control over all assets and resources employed or entrusted to you.
 
· Record or participate in the recording of entries in the Company's books and records that are accurate to the best of your knowledge.

The foregoing are set forth as guidelines for the principal executive officer and financial employees, but, are, in fact, statements of mandatory conduct.  It is also important to note that Federal law requires that any waiver of, or amendment to the requirements in this Section VII will be subject to public disclosure.
