Note 2. Risks and Uncertainties
Significant progress has been made to combat the outbreak of COVID-19; however, the global pandemic has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company's customers operate and could still impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. While it appears that health and economic conditions are trending in a positive direction as of June 30, 2021, a resurgence in the virus or its variants could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to know the full impact COVID-19, and any potential measures to curtail its spread, will have on the Company's future operations, the Company is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.
Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout of the pandemic. The CARES Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act was to curb the economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors through programs like the PPP. During December 2020, many provisions of the CARES Act were extended through the end of 2021. Additionally, The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill, was signed into law in March 2021. This package builds upon many of the measures in the CARES Act and is intended to speed up the recovery from the economic and health effects of COVID-19.


Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 87


Financial position and results of operations
The Company has not yet experienced any charge-offs related to COVID-19. See Note 8. Should economic conditions worsen as a result of a resurgence of the virus or its variants and resulting measures to curtail its spread, the Company could experience increases in the required ALL and record additional provision for loan losses. The use of payment deferrals assisted the ratio of past due loans to total loans as well other asset quality ratios at June 30, 2021. It is possible that asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if a resurgence of COVID-19 progresses.
Through June 30, 2021, the Company had executed modifications on outstanding loan balances of $159.1 million that carried accrued interest of $946 thousand. Of the total modifications executed, at June 30, 2021 outstanding loan balances of $2.0 million remained subject to modified terms and carried accrued interest of $78 thousand.
Capital and liquidity
As of June 30, 2021, all of the Company's and Union's capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While the Company believes it has sufficient capital to withstand a double-dip economic recession brought about by a resurgence in COVID-19, the reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit loss expense. The Company relies on cash on hand as well as dividends from its subsidiary bank to pay dividends to shareholders. If the Company’s capital deteriorates such that its subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to it for an extended period of time, the Company may not be able to maintain its dividend to shareholders at the current level. Management continues to analyze the Company's current capital levels and its ability to maintain growth projections and absorb future credit losses while maintaining sufficient levels of capital.
The Company maintains access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to the Company. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of the Company’s deposit customers to withdraw their funds, the Company might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding. To date in 2021, primarily as a result of the deposit of PPP loan proceeds and government assistance payments under the CARES Act and The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Company has experienced a significant increase in customer deposits.
Asset valuation
COVID-19 has not affected the Company's ability to account timely for the assets on the balance sheet; however, a resurgence of COVID-19 could cause this to change in future periods. The Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test, an intangible asset impairment test, or both, resulting in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP. As of June 30, 2021, goodwill was not impaired and there was no impairment with respect to our intangible assets, premises and equipment or other long-lived assets.
Processes, controls and business continuity plan
The Company’s preparedness efforts, coupled with quick and decisive plan implementation, has resulted in minimal impacts to operations as a result of COVID-19. At June 30, 2021, several employees have returned to banking facilities while some continue to work remotely. The Company has not experienced any disruption to its operations. The Company has not incurred additional material cost related to the remote working strategy to date, nor are material costs anticipated in future periods.
As of June 30, 2021, management does not anticipate significant challenges to its ability to maintain the systems and controls and does not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of our business continuity plans.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers
Union continued to work with borrowers during the unprecedented situation caused by COVID-19 and as allowed under the CARES Act, executed a payment deferral program for its customers that were adversely affected by COVID-19. Depending on the demonstrated need of the customer, the Company either deferred the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for up to 180 days for the majority of the deferral requests. The Company had executed 334 of these deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $159.1 million as of June 30, 2021. Of the total deferrals executed, 17 remained in effect on outstanding loan balances of $2.0 million as of June 30, 2021. In accordance with interagency guidance issued in March 2020 and updated in April 2020, and confirmed by the FASB, these short term deferrals are not considered TDRs. In August 2020, the federal banking regulators issued supplemental guidance for working with borrowers as their loans near the end of their accommodation period. It is possible that in spite of our best efforts to assist our borrowers and achieve full collection of our

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 9


investment, these deferred loans could result in future charge-offs with additional credit loss expense charged to earnings; however, the amount of any future charge-offs on deferred loans is unknown.
With the passage of the PPP, administered by the SBA, the Company assisted its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans bear a mandated annual interest rate of 1.0%. The PPP was initially launched with loans having a two-year term, but subsequent revisions to the PPP currently allow the maximum term be extended to five years. The majority of the Company's PPP loans were originated with the two-year term and have not been extended to five years. The Company believes that a significant amount of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA during 2021 in accordance with the terms of the program. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP are fully guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish additional allowance for credit losses through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

Note 3.2. Legal Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal and other proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 5.4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Under the new guidance, which will replace the existing incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, banks and other lending institutions will be required to recognize the full amount of expected credit losses. The new guidance, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss model ("CECL"), requires that expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date that are accounted for at amortized cost be measured and recognized based on historical experience and current and reasonably supportable forecasted conditions to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. A modified version of these requirements also applies to debt securities classified as AFS. As initially proposed, the ASU was to become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such years. In October 2019, the FASB approved amendments to delay the effective date of the ASU to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, and other non-SEC reporting entities. The Company did not choose to early adopt the ASU. As the Company is a smaller reporting company, the delay is applicable toASU will become effective for the Company andbeginning with the Company does not intend to early adopt the ASU at this time.2023 fiscal year. The Company has established a CECL implementation team and developed a transition project plan. The Company utilizes a software package for its current calculation of the allowance for loan losses that will also be utilized for CECL implementation. Historical data has been compiled and training on utilizing the software for the existing incurred loss model has been completed. The Company continues the collection of historical data and training is ongoing surrounding CECL implementation and methodologies. ThisIn addition, the Company is conducting parallel calculations under the existing incurred loss model and the CECL model throughout 2022. The measures will facilitate the eventual implementation process and management's evaluation of the potential impact of the ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 10


In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and has issued subsequent amendments thereto, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The transition away from LIBOR is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, various financial institution regulatory agencies, including2022, the FRB and the FDIC (“the agencies”),FASB issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19. The guidance was subsequently amended following passage of the CARES Act, which included a provision for addressing certain COVID-19 related loan modifications. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under ASCASU No. 310-40,2022-02, Receivables –Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures which eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by Creditors,creditors when a restructuringborrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The ASU also requires disclosure of debt constitutes a TDR if the creditor,current period charge offs by year of origination for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months or less) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current areloans and leases. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. The agencies supplemented their interagency guidance on August 3, 2020 to provide prudent risk management and consumer protection principles for financial institutions to consider while working with borrowers near the end of their initial loan accommodation period. The interagency guidancefiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU No. 2022-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Actual maturities usually differ from contractual maturities on agency MBS because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid, usually without any penalties. Therefore, these agency MBS are shown separately and are not included in the contractual maturity categories in the above maturity summary.

The Company evaluates all investment securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant, to determine if an OTTI exists. A security is considered impaired if the fair value is lower than its amortized cost basis at the report date. If impaired, management then assesses whether the unrealized loss is OTT.

An unrealized loss on a debt security is generally deemed to be OTT and a credit loss is deemed to exist if the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The credit loss component of OTTI write-down is recorded, net of tax effect, through net income as a component of net OTTI losses in the consolidated statements of income, while the remaining portion of the impairment loss is recognized in OCI, provided the Company does not intend to sell the underlying debt security and it is "more likely than not" that the Company will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery.


Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 12


Management considers the following factors in determining whether OTTI exists and the period over which the security is expected to recover:
The length of time, and extent to which, the fair value has been less than the amortized cost;
Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry, or geographic area;
The historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;
The payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that may increase in the future;
Failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments;
Any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency;
Recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date; and
The nature of the issuer, including whether it is a private company, public entity or government-sponsored enterprise, and the existence or likelihood of any government or third party guaranty.

The Company has the ability to hold the investment securities that had unrealized losses at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 for the foreseeable future. The decline in value is the result of market conditions and not attributable to credit quality in the investment securities and 0no declines were deemed by management to be OTT.

Note 7.6.  Loans
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for any charge-offs, the ALL, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Loan interest income is accrued daily on outstanding balances. The following accounting policies, related to accrual and nonaccrual loans, apply to all portfolio segments and loan classes, which the Company considers to be the same. The accrual of interest is normally discontinued when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired and/or management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Generally, any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed against current period interest income. A loan may be restored to accrual status when its financial status has significantly improved and there is no principal or interest past due. A loan may also be restored to accrual status if the borrower makes six consecutive monthly payments or the lump sum equivalent. Income on nonaccrual loans is generally not recognized unless a loan is returned to accrual status or after all principal has been collected. Interest income generally is not recognized on impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are generally applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Delinquency status is determined based on contractual terms for all portfolio segments and loan classes. Loans past due 30 days or more are considered delinquent. Loans are considered in process of foreclosure when a judgment of foreclosure has been issued by the court.
Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield using methods that approximate the interest method. The Company generally amortizes these amounts over the estimated average life of the related loans.

Note 8.7.  Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality
The ALL is established for estimated losses in the loan portfolio through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. For all loan classes, loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes the loan balance is uncollectible or in accordance with federal guidelines. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL.

The ALL is maintained at a level believed by management to be appropriate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The amount of the ALL is based on management's periodic evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature, volume and risk characteristics of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, estimated value of any underlying collateral, specific impaired loans and economic conditions. There was no change to the methodology used to estimate the ALL during the secondfirst quarter of 2021.2022. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the ALL may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or other relevant factors.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, regularly review the Company's ALL. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the ALL, with a corresponding charge to earnings, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management.


Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 12


The ALL consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to the loans that are classified as impaired. Loans are evaluated for impairment and may be classified as impaired when management believes it is probable that the Company will not collect all the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. Impaired loans may also include troubled loans that are restructured. A TDR occurs when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would otherwise not be granted. A TDR classification may result from the transfer of assets to the Company in partial satisfaction of a troubled loan, a modification of a loan's terms (such as reduction of stated interest rates below market rates, extension of maturity that does not conform to the Company's policies, reduction of the face amount of the loan, reduction of accrued interest, or reduction or deferment of loan payments), or a combination. A specific reserve amount is allocated to the ALL for individual loans that have been classified as impaired based on management's estimate of the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, an observable market price, or the present value of anticipated future cash flows. The Company accounts for the change in present value attributable to the passage of time in the loan loss reserve. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, real estate or small balance commercial loans for impairment evaluation, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement or have been identified as impaired as part of a larger customer relationship. Based on an evaluation of the Company's historical loss experience on substandard commercial loans, management has established the commercial loan threshold for individual impairment evaluation as commercial loan relationships with aggregate balances greater than $500 thousand.

The general component represents the level of ALL allocable to each loan portfolio segment with similar risk characteristics and is determined based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors, for each class of loan. Management deems a five year average to be an appropriate time frame on which to base historical losses for each portfolio segment. Qualitative factors considered include underwriting, economic and market conditions, portfolio composition, collateral values, delinquencies, lender experience and legal issues. The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each portfolio segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:
Residential real estate - Loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied 1-4 family residential real estate, second and vacation homes, 1-4 family investment properties, home equity and second mortgage loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

Construction real estate - Loans in this segment include residential and commercial construction properties, commercial real estate development loans (while in the construction phase of the projects), land and land development loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower and/or the underlying cash flows generated by the properties being constructed. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, housing prices, vacancy rates and material costs, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.


Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 15


Commercial real estate - Loans in this segment are primarily properties occupied by businesses or income-producing properties. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by a general slowdown in business or increased vacancy rates which, in turn, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment. Management requests business financial statements at least annually and monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Commercial - Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by non-real estate assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer or business spending, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

Consumer - Loans in this segment are made to individuals for personal expenditures, such as an automobile purchase, and include unsecured loans. Repayment is primarily dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

Municipal - Loans in this segment are made to municipalities located within the Company's service area. Repayment is primarily dependent on taxes or other funds collected by the municipalities. Management considers there to be minimal risk surrounding the credit quality of this segment.
Management increased certain economic qualitative factors utilized to estimate the ALL during 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2021, the economic qualitative reserve factor assigned to each loan portfolio in the ALL estimate was decreased due to continued indications of economic improvement. COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in June 2021 and the majority of borrowers that had executed loan modifications due to COVID-19 were no longer subject to modified terms. Based on these continued improving economic trends, the economic qualitative reserve factor assigned to all loan portfolios, except the municipal loan portfolio, was decreased 5 bps during the first quarter of 2022.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 13


An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the ALL reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

All evaluations are inherently subjective as they require estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as changes occur in economic conditions or other relevant factors. Despite the allocation shown in the tables below, the ALL is general in nature and is available to absorb losses from any class of loan.

Changes in the ALL, by class of loans, for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Risk and collateral ratings are assigned to loans and are subject to ongoing monitoring by lending and credit personnel with such ratings updated annually or more frequently if warranted. The following is an overview of the Company's loan rating system:
1-3 Rating - Pass
Risk-rating grades "1" through "3" comprise those loans ranging from those with lower than average credit risk, defined as borrowers with high liquidity, excellent financial condition, strong management, favorable industry trends or loans secured by highly liquid assets, through those with marginal credit risk, defined as borrowers that, while creditworthy, exhibit some characteristics requiring special attention by the account officer.
4-4.5 Rating - Satisfactory/Monitor
Borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends warranting management's attention. While potentially weak, these borrowers are currently marginally acceptable; no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. When warranted, these credits may be monitored on the watch list.
5-7 Rating - Substandard
Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. The loan may be inadequately protected by the net worth and paying capacity of the obligor and/or the underlying collateral is inadequate.

The following tables summarize the loan ratings applied by management to the Company's loans by class as of the balance sheet dates:

Note 10. Other Comprehensive IncomeLoss
Accounting principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income or loss. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities AFS that are not OTTI, are not reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The cumulative effect of such items, net of tax effect, is reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets (Accumulated OCI). OCI, along with net income, comprises the Company's total comprehensive income or loss.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurement
The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, as guidance for accounting for assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This standard defines fair value as the price that would be received, without adjustment for transaction costs, to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance in FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value:
Investment securities AFS: TheCertain U.S. Treasury notes have been valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets and therefore have been classified as Level 1. However, the majority of the Company’s AFS securities have

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 19


been valued utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows.
Mutual funds: Mutual funds have been valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets and therefore have been classified as Level 1.


Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 23


Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, segregated by fair value hierarchy level, are summarized below:

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1 and 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 or the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, nor were there any Level 3 assets at any time during either period. Certain other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods after initial recognition, such as collateral-dependent impaired loans, MSRs and OREO, were not considered material at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2020.2021. The Company has not elected to apply the fair value method to any financial assets or liabilities other than those situations where other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements.

FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Management’s estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions could dramatically affect the estimated fair values.


Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 20


Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments may be excluded from disclosure requirements. Thus, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the actual underlying fair value of such instruments of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion and analysis focuses on those factors that, in management's view, had a material effect on the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021. This discussion is being presented to provide a narrative explanation of the consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with other financial data appearing elsewhere in this filing and with the Company's 20202021 Annual Report. In the opinion of the Company's management, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary to fairly present the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Management is not aware of the occurrence of any events after June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 which would materially affect the information presented.
Please refer to Note 1 in the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements at Part I, Item 1 of this Report for definitions of acronyms, abbreviations and capitalized terms used throughout the following discussion and analysis.
CAUTIONARY ADVICE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company, "we," "us," "our," may from time to time make written or oral statements that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, estimates of future economic performance or conditions and assumptions relating thereto. The Company may include forward-looking statements in its filings with the SEC, in its reports to stockholders, including this quarterly report, in press releases, other written materials, and in statements made by senior management to analysts, rating agencies, institutional investors, representatives of the media and others.
Forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations and are subject to uncertainties, both general and specific, and risk exists that actual results will differ from those predictions, forecasts, projections and other estimates contained in forward-looking statements. These risks cannot be readily quantified. When management uses any of the words “believes,” “expects,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “targets,” “goals,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” “should,” or similar expressions, they are making forward-looking statements. Many possible events or factors, including those beyond the control of management, could affect the future financial results and performance of the Company.
Factors that may cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
General economic conditions and financial instability, either nationally, internationally, regionally or locally;
Increased competitive pressures, including those from tax-advantaged credit unions and other financial service providers in our northern Vermont and New Hampshire market area or in the financial services industry generally, from increasing consolidation and integration of financial service providers, and from changes in technology and delivery systems;
Interest rates change in a way that puts pressure on the Company's margins, or that results in lower fee income and lower gain on sale of real estate loans, or that increases our interest costs;
Changes in laws or government rules, or the way in which courts or government agencies interpret or implement those laws or rules, that increase our costs of doing business or otherwise adversely affect our business;
Further changes in federal or state tax policy;
Changes in our level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs;
Changes in depositor behavior resulting in movement of funds out of bank deposits and into the stock market or other higher-yielding investments;
Changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon relevant regulatory and accounting requirements;
Changes in information technology that require increased capital spending or that result in new or increased risks;
Changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing and savings habits;
Changes in accounting principles, including those governing the manner of estimating our credit risk and calculating our loan loss reserve;
Further changes to the regulations governing the calculation of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios;
Increased competitive pressures affecting the ability of the Company to attract, develop and retain employees;
Increased inflationary pressures on our customers;
Increased cybersecurity threats; and

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 23


The effect of and changes in the United States monetary and fiscal policies, including interest rate policies and regulation of the money supply by the FRB.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 27


In addition, statements about the continuing and potential future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including emergence of virus variants, on the Company's financial position and results of operations reflect inherent uncertainties and may constitute forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:
the continuing ability of our employees to work remotely;
our ability to staff our branches and keep our branches open;
the continuing strength of our capital and liquidity positions;
our continued ability to access sources of contingent liquidity;
the continuing strength of the asset quality in our lending portfolios; and
the potential effectiveness of relief measures and programs for customers affected by COVID-19.
When evaluating forward-looking statements to make decisions about the Company and our stock, investors and others are cautioned to consider these and other risks and uncertainties, and are reminded not to place undue reliance on such statements. Investors should not consider the foregoing list of factors to be a complete list of risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them to reflect new or changed information or events, except as may be required by federal securities laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Under SEC Regulation G, public companies making disclosures containing financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure. The SEC has exempted from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. However, two non-GAAP financial measures commonly used by financial institutions, namely tax-equivalent net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest margin (as presented in the tables in the section labeled Yields Earned and Rates Paid), have not been specifically exempted by the SEC, and may therefore constitute non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G. We are unable to state with certainty whether the SEC would regard those measures as subject to Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s financial performance and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. However, that information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of GAAP in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which have a material impact on the reported amount of assets, liabilities, capital, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, management has identified the accounting policies and judgments most critical to the Company. They include establishing the amount of ALL, evaluating our investment securities for OTTI, and valuing our intangible assets. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from estimates and have a material impact on the carrying value of assets, liabilities, or capital, and/or the results of operations of the Company.
Please refer to the Company's 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more in-depth discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies. There have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies since the filing of that report.

OVERVIEW
The Federal Reserve initiated its planned short term interest rate increases by increasing the federal funds target rate 25 bps to 50 bps in March and by another 50 bps to one percent in May. This also resulted in an increase in the Prime Rate to 4.0%. In addition to these increases in interest rates, the 10-year treasury rate began 2022 at 1.512%, increased to 2.327% at the end of March, to 2.885% at the end of April and continued to rise in May. Mortgage rates and investment yields for mortgage-backed securities are primarily driven by the 10-year treasury index. The rapid increase in the 10-year treasury rate has impacted the fair market value of the investment portfolio, pricing on loans held for sale, and mortgage rates offered to customers which have

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 24


increased approximately 200 bps since the beginning of the year. However, asset yields have not yet increased as a result of these increases nor have interest rates on interest bearing liabilities.
Consolidated net income increased $323decreased $394 thousand, or 12.1%13.7%, to $3.0$2.5 million for the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to $2.7$2.9 million for the secondfirst quarter of 20202021 due to the combined effect of increasesa decrease in noninterest income of $566 thousand and an increase of $661 thousand in noninterest expenses, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $1.1 million and noninterest income of $151$564 thousand and a decreasedecreases of $150 thousand in the provision for loan losses of $425 thousand, partially offset by increases of $1.3 million in noninterest expenses and $116$119 thousand in income tax expense.

Interest income increased $1.3 million$226 thousand primarily due to higher volumes of earning assets despite lower yields,yields; and despite recognition of $411 thousand less in fee income between periods, primarily due to lower fee income recognized from PPP loans for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.loans. Interest expense was $2.1$763 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.1 million for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021, compared to $2.8

The was no provision for loan losses was $225 thousand for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to $800a provision of $150 thousand for the same period in 2020. The provision for loan losses was higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 due to management's adjustment to the economic qualitative factors utilized to estimate the allowance for loan losses due to the economic uncertainty at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.2021. There were no changes to the methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses during either of the sixthree month comparison periods.
Total noninterest income amounted to $5.8$2.1 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to $5.5$2.6 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020, an increaseMarch 31, 2021, a decrease of $254$566 thousand, or 4.6%21.6%. The increasedecrease is primarily due to an increasea decrease in service fee income. Salessales of qualifying residential loans amounted to $85.2loans. There were $16.4 million in residential loan sales with net gains of $2.0 million$14 thousand for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to residential loan sales of $97.8$29.7 million with net gains of $2.0 million$894 thousand for the same period in 2020.2021. The decrease in the volume of loan sales reflects management's decision to slow sales in the first quarter of 20212022 to utilize some excess liquidity and increase interest income on loans.
Total noninterest expenses were $15.8$8.1 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to $14.3$7.5 million for the same period in 2020.2021. Increases of $686$327 thousand in salaries and wages, $159$136 thousand in employee benefits, $174$118 thousand in equipment expenses, $527$50 thousand in occupancy expenses and $30 thousand in other expenses, and $13 thousand in occupancy expenses, occurred between the sixthree month comparison periodsperiod of 20212022 and 2020.2021.

As of June 30, 2021, $44.8 million in PPP loans had been forgiven by the SBA. Union's borrowers have received 100% forgiveness on all applications submitted to date. Interest income and origination fees from PPP loans were $888 thousand and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, there was $1.7 million remaining in PPP origination fee income to be recognized in future periods.
The Company's total capital increaseddecreased from $80.9$84.3 million at December 31, 20202021 to $82.4$69.4 million at June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income. The largest component of the Company’s operating income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income received from earning assets and interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by various factors including, but not limited to changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies, the volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and the level of nonperforming assets. Net interest margin is calculated as the net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis as a percentage of average earning assets.
The fedAs discussed above, the Federal Reserve initiated its planned short term interest rate increases by increasing the federal funds target range remainsrate 25 bps to 50 bps in March and by another 50 bps to one percent in May. This also resulted in an increase in the Prime Rate to 4.0%. In addition, the 10-year treasury rate increased from 1.512% at 0%the beginning of the year to 0.25% since2.327% at the reductions madeend of March, to 2.885% at the end of April and continued to rise in May. These increases in interest rates have not yet increased asset yields or rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. However, further increases in short term rates by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)Reserve may result in March 2020. The most recent meetingincreases in interest rates paid on customer deposit accounts which may impact future earnings of the FOMC, held on July 28, 2021, indicated that this low target range will remain in effect until members of the FOMC are confident the economy has weathered recent events and is on track to achieve its maximum employment and price stability goals, which likely will be beyond 2021.Company.
The average yield on average earning assets was 3.77%3.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to 4.16%3.76% for the three months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, a decrease of 3932 bps despite an increase in average earning assets of $171.0$119.7 million. The prolonged low interest rate environment continueswhich prevailed throughout the first quarter continued to put downward pressure on asset yields.yields for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Interest income on investment securities increased $113$639 thousand between the three month comparison periods due to an increase in the average balances of $61.6$159.8 million, despite a decrease of 7311 bps in the average yield. The average balance of PPP loans was $68.2$9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 March 31, 2022

with an average yield of 5.22%13.43%, which takes into account the 1.0% interest charged on PPP loans and related fee income recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Interest income on loans, excluding PPP loans, increased $151$133 thousand between the three month comparison periods due to an increase in the average volume of loans outstanding of $79.4$56.7 million, partially offset by a decrease of 4327 bps in the average yield.

Interest expense for the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 decreased $382$338 thousand compared to the secondfirst quarter of 20202021 due to lower rates paid on customer deposit accounts, despite increases in average deposit balances of $50.0 million, partially offset by increases inthe addition of $142 thousand of interest expense on subordinated notes with an average balancesbalance of $100.5$16.2 million. The increase in average customer deposit balances is due to an increase in the money supply from proceeds of PPP loans, government stimulus payments, and other economic recovery payments. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 2921 bps to 0.49%0.36% for the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to 0.78%0.57% for the secondfirst quarter of 2020.2021. The average rates paid on interest bearing checking accounts and savings and money market accounts decreased 183 bps and 2322 bps, respectively, between the secondfirst quarter comparison periods. The Company decreased interest rates paid on deposit accounts early in 2021 and again in June of 2021 and implemented a tiered rate structure in these accounts which has remained in place as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The decreases in these interest rates resulted in decreasesa decrease in interest expense of $47$195 thousand on savings and $51 thousand, respectively,money market accounts between the three month comparison periods. Interest expense on time deposits decreased $230$233 thousand due to decreases in the average volume of $26.3$27.2 million and 4761 bps in the average rate paid during the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020. The2021. Management believes that the decrease in the average volume is primarily due to customers transferring proceeds from matured CDs into non-maturity deposits in hopes of obtaining higher yields in future periods. Theperiods as well as some funds leaving Union to seek a higher rate paying CD specials offered in prior years will mature early in the third quarter of 2021. This will support further reduction in the rates paid on time deposits for the remainder of 2021.return. Higher customer deposit balances reduced reliance on wholesale funding, as evidenced by decreases between the three month comparison periods of $37.4$7.2 million in the average outstanding balance of borrowed funds and $54 thousand in related interest expense. The issuance of subordinated debt during the third quarter of 2021 resulted in an average balance of $16.2 million for the first quarter of 2022 and an average rate of 3.55% and interest expense of $142 thousand.
The net interest spread decreased 1011 bps to 3.28%3.08% for the secondfirst quarter of 2021,2022, from 3.38%3.19% for the same period last year, reflecting the net effect of the 2921 bps decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and the 3932 bps decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets between periods. The net interest margin decreased 15 bps during the secondfirst quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year as a result of the changes discussed above.
Net interest income was $17.3 million, on a fully tax equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $2.0 million, or 13.3%. The average volume of earning assets increased $209.0 million and the average yield on earning assets decreased 61 bps to 3.77% compared to 4.38% for the comparison period. Average loans, excluding PPP loans, increased $70.5 million, or 10.25%, to $757.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Despite an increase in the average loan volume, interest income on loans decreased $110 thousand between periods, due to the decrease in the average yield. As discussed above, the current interest rate environment and competition for quality loans continues to put downward pressure on loan yields. The average balance of PPP loans for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $70.9 million with an average yield of 4.96% compared to $26.1 million with an average yield of 2.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As mentioned above, the average yield on PPP loans includes the interest earned at 1.0% on the loan as well as origination fee income recognized during the respective periods.
The average cost of funds, which is tied primarily to customer deposit accounts, decreased 32 bps to 0.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 0.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Interest expense decreased $738 thousand, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower rates paid on interest bearing liabilities despite an increase in average balances of $128.1 million between periods. Should the low interest rate environment persist, management expects further reduction in the average cost of funds in future periods due to lowering of interest rates on time deposit and savings account products.
The net interest spread decreased 29 bps to 3.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from 3.53% for the same period last year reflecting the net effect of the 32 bps decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and the 61 bps decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets between periods. The net interest margin decreased 35 bps for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to the same period last year as a result of the changes discussed above.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table describes the extent to which changes in average interest rates earned and paid (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) and changes in volume of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. For each category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to:
changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior rate);
changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior volume); and
total change in rate and volume.
Changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses. AThere was no provision for loan losses of $75recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022. A $150 thousand and $225 thousandprovision was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $500 thousand and $800 thousandMarch 31, 2021. No provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The higher provision in 2020 resulted from management's adjustment to the economic qualitative factors utilized to estimate the allowance for loan losses due to the economic disruption related to the COVID-19 pandemic impacting Union's borrowers. The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2021March 31, 2022 was deemed appropriate by management based on the size and mix of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, the results of the qualitative

These decreases are short term in nature as the loans and deposits for the next municipal fiscal year are recorded within the first few days of July.

There was one residential real estate loan totaling $47$118 thousand in process of foreclosure at June 30, 2021. The state-mandated moratorium on foreclosures related to the COVID-19 emergency was lifted effective July 15, 2021.March 31, 2022. The aggregate interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans approximated $414$527 thousand as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and $420$504 thousand as of December 31, 2020.2021.
The Company had loans rated substandard that were on performing status totaling $1.2 million$756 thousand at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to $2.2 million$769 thousand at December 31, 2020.2021. In management's view, substandard loans represent a higher degree of risk of becoming nonperforming loans in the future.
In March 2020, the federal banking agencies issued guidance, confirmed by the FASB, that certain short-term modifications made to loans to a borrowerborrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and government shutdown orders would not be considered TDRs under specified circumstances (See Notes 2 and 5). Through June 30, 2021, the Company had executed modifications under this guidance oncircumstances. As of March 31, 2022, four loans with outstanding loan balances of $159.1 million that carried accrued interest of $946 thousand. Of the total modifications executed, outstanding loan balances of $2.0 million$545 thousand remained subject to modified terms and carried accrued interest of $78 thousand as of June 30, 2021.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Some of the Company’s loan customers ultimately do not make all of their contractually scheduled payments, whether due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, requiring the Company to charge off a portion or all of the remaining principal balance due. The Company maintains an ALL to absorb such losses. The ALL is maintained at a level believed by management to be appropriate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the evaluation date; however, actual loan losses may vary from current estimates. The Company's policy and methodologies for establishing the ALL, described in the Company's 20202021 Annual Report did not change during the first sixthree months of 2021.2022. The Company's ALL was $8.5$8.3 million at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and $8.3 million as of December 31, 2020.2021.

Management adjustedincreased certain economic qualitative factors utilized to estimate the ALL during the first and second quarters of 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. DespiteDuring 2021, the economic qualitative reserve factor assigned to each loan portfolio in the ALL estimate was decreased due to continued indications of an improving economyeconomic improvement. COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in June 2021 and having the majority of borrowers that had executed loan modifications due to COVID-19 were no longer subject to modified terms, there were no changes toterms. Based on these continued improving economic trends, the economic qualitative reserve factorsfactor assigned to any of theall loan portfolios, based onexcept the qualitative factor reviews performedmunicipal loan portfolio, was decreased 5 bps during the first six monthsquarter of 2021. Management will consider adjustment in upcoming quarters to allow more time for economic recovery and to monitor payments on loans that had been subject to modified terms.2022.
Impaired loans, including $2.5$2.2 million of TDR loans, were $7.2$6.5 million at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, with government guaranties of $354$420 thousand and a specific reserve amount allocated of $58$44 thousand. Impaired loans, including $2.9$2.2 million of TDR loans, were $4.6$6.8 million at December 31, 2020,2021, with government guaranties of $514$423 thousand and a specific reserve amount allocated of $58$46 thousand. Based on management's evaluation of the Company's historical loss experience on substandard commercial loans, commercial loan relationships with aggregate balances greater than $500 thousand are evaluated individually for impairment, with a specific reserve allocated when warranted. Commercial loans with balances under this threshold are collectively evaluated for impairment as a homogeneous pool of loans, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement or have been identified as impaired as part of a larger customer relationship. There was no change to theThe specific reserve amount allocated to individually identified impaired loans decreased $2 thousand as a result of the June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 impairment evaluation.

Management believes, in its best estimate, that the ALL at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 is appropriate to cover probable credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio as of such date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not sustain losses in future periods which could be greater than the size of the ALL at June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. In addition, our banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ALL. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the ALL based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. A large adjustment to the ALL for losses in future periods could require increased provisions to replenish the ALL, which could negatively affect earnings.

Investment Activities. During the first sixthree months of 2021,2022, investment securities classified as AFS increased $52.3$4.3 million to $158.1$272.2 million, comprising 14.8%22.1% of total assets, compared to $105.8$267.8 million, or 9.7%22.2% of total assets at December 31, 2020.2021. The Company used excess liquidity to increase the investment portfolio during 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 to obtain higher yields than what would have been earned at the current Federal Funds rate.
Net unrealized gainslosses for the Company’s AFS investment securities portfolio were $1.3$22.1 million as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to net unrealized gainslosses of $3.3$2.0 million as of December 31, 2020.2021. The Company’s accumulated OCI component of stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 reflected cumulative net unrealized gainslosses on investment securities of $1.0$17.4 million. There were no securities classified as HTM at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2020.2021. The rapid increase in the 10-year treasury rate in 2022 has negatively impacted the fair market value of the investment portfolio as this index is typically tied to mortgage-backed securities. No declines in value were deemed by management to be OTT at June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Deterioration in credit quality and/or imbalances in liquidity that may result from changes in financial market conditions might adversely affect the fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio and the amount of gains or losses ultimately realized on the sale of such securities and may also increase the potential that unrealized losses will be designated as OTT in future periods, resulting in write-downs and charges to earnings.

The increase in average balances for nontime deposits was attributable to proceeds from PPP loans deposited into customer accounts at Union, customer's receipt of government stimulus payments, and the general reduction in spending by customers due to COVID-19. The average balances of time deposits decreased due to higher rate paying time deposit accounts that matured and customers primarily transferred those funds into other deposit accounts.
The Company participates in CDARS, which permits the Company to offer full deposit insurance coverage to its customers by exchanging deposit balances with other CDARS participants. CDARS also provides the Company with an additional source of funding and liquidity through the purchase of deposits.

The Company also participates in the ICS program, a service through which it can offer its customers demand or savings products with access to unlimited FDIC insurance, while receiving reciprocal deposits from other FDIC-insured banks. Like the exchange of certificate of deposit accounts through CDARS, exchange of demand or savings deposits through ICS provides a depositor with full deposit insurance coverage of excess balances, thereby helping the Company retain the full amount of the deposit on its balance sheet. As with the CDARS program, in addition to reciprocal deposits, participating banks may also purchase one-way ICS deposits.

From and including September 1, 2026, the interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal amount due will reset quarterly to the then current three-month secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus 263 basis points. The Notes are presented net of unamortized issuance costs of $321 thousand and $329 thousand at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and $8 thousand and $16 thousand forin the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to implement its strategic objectives. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable-rate loans, commitments to participate in or sell loans, commitments to buy or sell securities, certificates of deposit or other investment instruments and risk-sharing commitments or guarantees on certain sold loans. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in a particular class of financial instruments.
The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable-rate loans, the contractual or notional amounts do not represent the Company’s exposure to credit loss. The Company controls the risk of interest rate cap agreements through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures. The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Loan commitments generally have a fixed expiration date or other termination clause and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the loan commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and not all credit lines will be utilized, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Lines of credit incur seasonal volume fluctuations due to the nature of some customers' businesses, such as tourism and maple syrup products production.tourism. The large increase in commitments to originate loans at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 from December 31, 20202021 is primarily the result of the annual fiscal cycle of local municipalities and school districts, with $50.7a $9.0 million committed to them on June 30, 2021 for their fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021. In addition,increase in commitments to originate residential construction and commercial construction loans increased $20.7 million over December 31, 2020.loans.
The Company did not hold any derivative or hedging instruments at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2020.2021.
In addition to commitments arising from the Company’s financial instruments, in the normal course of business the Company enters into contractual commitments from time to time for the purchase or lease of property, including real property for its banking premises.

Liquidity. Liquidity is a measurement of the Company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund deposit withdrawals, repay borrowings, fund investment and lending activities, purchase and lease commitments, and for other general business purposes. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. The Company’s principal sources of funds are deposits; whole-sale funding options including purchased deposits, amortization, prepayment and maturity of loans, investment securities, interest bearing deposits and other short-term investments; sales of securities and loans AFS; earnings; and funds provided from operations. Contractual principal repayments on loans have been a relatively predictable source of funds; however, payment deferrals approved for borrowers as a result of COVID-19 will delay receipt of contractual payments.funds. Deposit flows and loan and investment prepayments are less predictable and can be significantly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competitors. Managing liquidity risk is essential to maintaining both depositor confidence and earnings stability.
As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, Union, as a member of FHLB, had access to unused lines of credit up to $100.2$69.1 million over and above the $36.8$36.7 million in combined FHLB borrowings and other credit subject to collateralization subjectand to the purchase of required FHLB Class B common stock and evaluation by the FHLB of the underlying collateral available. This line of credit can be used for either short-term or long-term liquidity or other funding needs.
Union also maintains an IDEAL Way Line of Credit with the FHLB. The total line available was $551 thousand at June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. There were no borrowings against this line of credit as of such date. Interest on this line is chargeable at a rate determined by the FHLB and payable monthly. Should Union utilize this line of credit, qualified portions of the loan and investment portfolios would collateralize these borrowings.
In addition to its borrowing arrangements with the FHLB, Union maintains a pre-approved federal funds line of credit totaling $15.0 million with an upstream correspondent bank, a master brokered deposit agreement with a brokerage firm, and one-way buy options with CDARS and ICS. In addition to the funding sources available to Union, the Company maintains a $5.0 million revolving line of credit with a correspondent bank. At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, there were no purchased ICS or CDARS deposits, no retail brokered deposits, and no outstanding advances on the Union or Company correspondent lines.
Union's investment and residential loan portfolios also provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. Additional contingent liquidity sources are available with further access to the brokered deposit market. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor, and creditor needs

Capital Resources. Capital management is designed to maintain an optimum level of capital in a cost-effective structure that meets target regulatory ratios, supports management’s internal assessment of economic capital, funds the Company’s business strategies and builds long-term stockholder value. Dividends are generally in line with long-term trends in earnings per share and conservative earnings projections, while sufficient profits are retained to support anticipated business growth, fund strategic investments, maintain required regulatory capital levels and provide continued support for deposits. The Company continues to evaluate growth opportunities both through internal growth or potential acquisitions.
In August 2021, the Company completed the private placement of $16.5 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2031 to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The Notes are structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company under bank regulatory guidelines. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were utilized to provide additional capital to Union to support its growth and for other general corporate purposes.
Stockholders’ equity increaseddecreased from $80.9$84.3 million at December 31, 20202021 to $82.4$69.4 million at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, reflecting net income of $5.9 million for the first six months of 2021, an increase of $183 thousand from stock based compensation, a $24 thousand increase due to the issuance of 1,000 shares of common stock from the exercise of incentive stock options and a $21 thousand increase due to the issuance of common stock under the DRIP. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.6$15.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss due to a decrease in the fair market value of the Company's AFS securities, cash dividends declared of $3.0$1.6 million and stock repurchases of $2$75 thousand during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $2.5 million for the first three months of 2022, an increase of $103 thousand from stock based compensation and a $13 thousand increase due to the issuance of common stock under the DRIP. The components of other comprehensive incomeloss are illustrated in Note 10 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
The Company has 7,500,000 shares of $2.00 par value common stock authorized. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had 4,957,8844,968,692 shares issued, of which 4,483,8734,493,170 were outstanding and 474,011475,522 were held in treasury.
In January 2021,2022, the Company's Board reauthorized for 20212022 the limited stock repurchase plan that was initially established in May of 2010. The limited stock repurchase plan allows the repurchase of up to a fixed number of shares of the Company's common stock each calendar quarter in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, as management deems advisable and as market conditions may warrant. The repurchase authorization for a calendar quarter (currently 2,500 shares) expires at the end of that quarter to the extent it has not been exercised, and is not carried forward into future quarters. The quarterly repurchase authorization expires on December 31, 2021,2022, unless reauthorized. The Company repurchased 972,500 shares under this program during the first sixthree months of 20212022 at a total cost of $2$75 thousand.
The Company maintains a DRIP whereby registered stockholders may elect to reinvest cash dividends and optional cash contributions to purchase additional shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has reserved 200,000 shares of its common stock for issuance and sale under the DRIP. As of June 30, 2021, 4,857March 31, 2022, 5,846 shares of stock had been issued from treasury stock under the DRIP.
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and Union are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and Union's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Union must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and Union's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Under the currentstandard regulatory capital guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% in order to be "adequately capitalized." In addition to these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier I equity, increasing the minimum required total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets they must maintain to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.
The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 directed the federal banking regulators to adopt rules providing for a simplified regulatory capital framework for qualifying community banking organizations. In September 2019, the banking regulators finalized a rule that introduced the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR)("CBLR") framework as an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying institutions. Beginning with the March 31, 2020 regulatory capital calculation, a banking organization with a Tier I leverage ratio greater than 9.0%, less than $10 billion in average consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities may opt into the CBLR framework and will be deemed "well capitalized" and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. A community banking organization that does not meet the requirements for use of the simplified CBLR framework will continue to calculate its regulatory capital ratios under existingstandard guidelines. A provision of the CARES Act temporarily lowers the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio to 8.0% for a banking organization to elect to use the CBLR framework, with a phased increase back to 9.0% by the end of 2021. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Tier I leverage ratios for the Company and Union were 7.03%6.91% and 6.98%8.19%, respectively.

As shown in the table below, as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, both the Company and Union met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are currently subject and Union exceeded the requirements for a "well capitalized" bank under the FDIC's Prompt Corrective Action framework. There were no conditions or events between June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and the date of this report that management believes have changed either Company’s regulatory capital category.
