PENNS WOODS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Woods Investment Company, Inc., Woods Real Estate Development Company, Inc., Luzerne Bank, and Jersey Shore State Bank (Jersey Shore State Bank and Luzerne Bank are referred to together as the “Banks”) and Jersey Shore State Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The M Group, Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial Group (“The M Group”).  The Company is also owns a partnercontrolling interest in United Insurance Solutions, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

The interim financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results for such periods.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  These financial statements 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, 2017.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

Public law No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), enacted on December 22, 2017, reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Also on December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment date to complete the accounting. Any adjustments during this measurement period will be included in net earnings from continuing operations as an adjustment to income tax expense in the reporting period when such adjustments are determined. Based on the information available and current interpretation of the rules, the Company estimated the impact of the reduction in the corporate tax rate and remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities. The provisional amount recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the remeasurement of the Company's deferred tax balance resulted in additional income tax expense of $2.7 million. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are still analyzing certain aspects of the new law and refining our calculations, which could affect the measurement of these assets and liabilities or give rise to new deferred tax amounts. Nonetheless, there has been no change to the provisional net tax benefit we recorded during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this Update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Upon adoption on January 1, 2018, we have included the related new disclosure requirements in Note 13.

In JanuaryFebruary 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,the Leasing Standard, which is codified in ASC 842, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesLeases. This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities, and is intended to provide more useful informationincrease transparency and comparability among organizations and require lessees to record an right-of-use (ROU) asset and a liability representing the obligation to make lease payments for long-term leases. Accounting by lessors remains largely unchanged. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, using the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure ofmodified retrospective transition under the option to apply the Leasing Standard at its effective date without adjusting the prior period comparative financial instruments.statements. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee)these updates require lessees to berecognize a lease liability, measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiringon a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notesdiscounted basis, related to the financial statements;lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising under a lease contract; and (g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred taxright-of-use asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

Note 3.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet.  A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.  A short-term lease is defined as one in which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning

after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact on the financial statements. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Company’s balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a 1 percent increase in assets and liabilities. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities, that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-062018-13, , Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension PlansFair Value Measurement (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), and Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965)820): Disclosure Framework - Changes the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. ThisThe Update relates primarily to the reporting by an employee benefit plan for its interest in a master trust, which is a trust for which a regulated financial institution serves as a trustee or custodian and in which assets of more than one plan sponsored by a single employer or by a group of employers under common control are held. For each master trust in which a plan holds an interest, the amendments in this Update require a plan's interest in that master trust and any change in that interest to be presented in separate line items in the statement of net assets available for benefits and in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, respectively. The amendments in this Update removeremoves the requirement to disclose the percentage interest in the master trust for plans with divided interests and require that all plans disclose the dollar amount of their interestand reasons for transfers between Level I and Level II of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level III fair value measurements. The Update requires disclosure of changes in eachunrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level III fair value measurements held at the end of those general typesthe reporting period and the range and weighted average of investments, which supplements the existing requirementsignificant unobservable inputs used to disclose the master trusts balances in each general type of investments. There are also increased disclosure requirementsdevelop Level III fair value measurements. This Update is effective for investments in master trusts. The amendments in this Update are effectiveall entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.2019. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that

109

Table of Contents


includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11,2018-14, Earnings Per ShareCompensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480),715-20). This Update amends ASC 715 to add, remove and Derivativeclarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and Hedging (Topic 815).other postretirement plans. The amendmentsUpdate eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in Part Iaccumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as part of thisnet periodic benefit cost over the next year. The Update changealso removes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down-round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existenceeffects of a down-round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments,one-percentage-point change on the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognizeassumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost and the down-round feature when itbenefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This Update is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down- round features are now subject to the specialized guidanceeffective for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Accounting Standards Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities the amendments in Part I offor fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. For all other entities, this Update areis effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginningending after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part I of this Update should be applied either retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first fiscal year and interim period(s) in which the pending content that links to this paragraph is effective or retrospectively to outstanding financial instruments with a down-round feature for each prior reporting period presented in accordance with the guidance on accounting changes in paragraphs 250-10-45-5 through 45-10. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2017,2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This Update addresses customers’ accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The amendments in this Update can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 850)815),. The amendments in this Update permit use of the objectiveOvernight Index Swap (OIS) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of which is to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portrayU.S. government, the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition,London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate. For entities that have not already adopted Update 2017-12, the amendments in this Update make certainare required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in Update 2017-12. For public business entities that already have adopted the amendments in Update 2017-12, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities that already have adopted the amendments in Update 2017-12, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period upon issuance of this Update if an entity already has adopted Update 2017-12. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808), which made the following targeted improvements to simplifygenerally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for collaborative arrangements (1) clarified that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the application and disclosurecollaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account, (2) add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the hedge accounting guidancearrangement is within the scope of Topic 606, and (3) require that in current general accepted accounting principles. a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted in any period after issuance. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the amendments in this Update. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively.2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2018,March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01,2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements, , which provides an optional transition practical expedientaddressed issues lessors sometimes encounter. Specifically addressed in this Update were issues related to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under(1) determining the current lease guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date the entity adopts Topic 842; otherwise, an entity should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoptionfair value of the underlying asset by the lessor that are not manufacturers or dealers (generally financial institutions and captive finance companies), and 2) lessors that are depository and lending institutions should classify principal and payments received under sales-type and direct financing leases within investing activities in the cash flow statement. The ASU also exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide the interim disclosures required by ASC 250-10-50-3 in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meetleases standard. The amendments addressing the definition of a lease.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10), to clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01. (1) An entity measuring an equity security using the measurement alternative may change its measurement approach to a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, through an irrevocable election that would apply to that security and all identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

(3) Remeasuring the entire value of forward contracts and purchased options is required when observable transactions occur on the underlying equity securities. (4) When the fair value option is elected for a financial liability, the guidance in paragraph 825-10-45-5 should be applied, regardless of whether the fair value option was elected under either Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging-Embedded Derivatives, or 825-10, Financial Instruments-Overall. (5) Financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected, the amount of change in fair value that relates to the instrument specific credit risk should first be measured in the currency of denomination when presented separately from the total change in fair value of the financial liability. Then, both components of the change in the fair value of the liability should be remeasured into the functional currency of the reporting entity using end-of-period spot rates. (6) The prospective transition approach for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value in the amendments in Update 2016-01 is meant only for instances in which the measurement alternative is applied. An insurance entity subject to the guidance in Topic 944, Financial Services- Insurance, should apply a prospective transition method when applying the amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values. An insurance entity should apply the selected prospective transition method consistently to the entity’s entire population of equity securities for which the measurement alternative is elected. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017, and June 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments until the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018, and public business entities with fiscal years beginning between June 15, 2018, and December 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments before adopting the amendments in Update 2016-01. For all other entities, the effective date is the same as the effective date in Update 2016-01. All entities may early adopt these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, as long as they have adopted Update 2016-01.affected accounting guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company reviews its position quarterly and has determined that, at March 31, 2018,2019, the declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity.  The Company has concluded that the unrealized losses disclosed above are not other than temporary but are the result of interest rate changes, sector credit ratings changes, or company-specific ratings changes that are not expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at March 31, 2018,2019, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Banks will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Banks evaluate such loans for impairment individually and do not aggregate loans by major risk classifications.  The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “non-accrual loans,” although the two categories overlap.  The Banks may choose to place a loan on non-accrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value.  The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loan.  When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the loan is greater than $100,000 and if the loan is either on non-accrual status or has a risk rating of substandard.  Management may also elect to measure an individual loan for impairment if less than $100,000 on a case-by-case basis.

Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and are measured for impairment collectively. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower including the length of the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Interest income for impaired loans is recorded consistent with the Banks' policy on non-accrual loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties.  These concessions typically result from loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions.  Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

There were threeno loan modifications considered TDR'sTDRs completed during the three months ended March 31, 2017.2019. Loan modifications that are considered TDR'sTDRs completed during the three months ended March 31, 2018 were as follows:

Internal Risk Ratings

Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are evaluated for substandard classification.  Loans in the doubtful category exhibit the same weaknesses found in the substandard loans, however, the weaknesses are more pronounced.  Such loans are static and collection in full is improbable.  However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt.  Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and charge-off is imminent.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Banks have a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the pass category unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  An external annual loan review of large commercial relationships is performed, as well as a sample of smaller transactions. Confirmation of the appropriate risk category is included in the review. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Loan Losses

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio.  The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated future loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.

The Banks' methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (previously discussed) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.  The total of the two components represents the Banks' ALL.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate.  Allowances are segmented based on collateral characteristics previously disclosed, and consistent with credit quality monitoring.  Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are grouped into two classes for evaluation.  A general allowance is determined for “Pass” rated credits, while a separate pool allowance is provided for “Criticized” rated credits that are not individually evaluated for impairment.

Table of Contents


For the general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio.  These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors.  A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a twelve quarter moving average.  However, management may adjust the moving average time frame by up to four quarters to adjust for variances in the economic cycle. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience.  The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.

Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors.  Management also monitors industry loss factors by loan segment for applicable adjustments to actual loss experience.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL.  When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

The shift in allocation of the loan provision is primarily due to portfolio growth and changes in the consumer automobile residential and improved credit metrics within the real estate mortgage portfolio.

The Company grants commercial, industrial, residential, and installment loans to customers primarily throughout north-east and central Pennsylvania. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economic conditions within this region.

The Company has a concentration of the following to gross loans at March 31, 20182019 and 2017:2018: 
 March 31, March 31,
 2018 2017 2019 2018

Note 9.  Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments are primarily comprised of commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and credit exposure from the sale of assets with recourse.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  The Company may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017:2018:
(In Thousands) March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018
Commitments to extend credit $267,856
 $264,982
 $140,732
 $166,417
Standby letters of credit 11,730
 10,406
 9,883
 10,566
Credit exposure from the sale of assets with recourse 5,038
 4,893
 6,242
 6,152
 $284,624
 $280,281
 $156,857
 $183,135
 
Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, on an extension of credit is based on management’s credit assessment of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance related contracts.  The coverage period for these instruments is typically a one year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management.  Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the coverage period.  For secured letters of credit, the collateral is typically Bank deposit instruments or customer business assets.

Note 10.  Fair Value Measurements

The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.
Level I: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.
   
Level II: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.
   
Level III: Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

The discounted cash flow valuation technique is utilized to determine the fair value of performing impaired loans, while non-performing impaired loans utilize the appraisal of collateral method.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s impaired loans using the discounted cash flow valuation technique include temporary changes in payment amounts and the probability of default.  Significant increases (decreases) in payment amounts would result in significantly higher (lower) fair value measurements.  The probability of default is 0% for impaired loans using the discounted cash flow valuation technique because all defaulted impaired loans are valued using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s impaired loans using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique include appraisal adjustments, which are adjustments to appraisals by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses.  The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s other real estate owned are the same inputs used to value impaired loans using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.

Note 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company is required to disclose fair values for its financial instruments.  Fair values are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intention to hold most of its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the fair values.

Fair values have been determined by the Company using historical data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments.  The Company’s fair values, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s other financial instruments.

Table of Contents



As certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and many other operational elements of the Company, are not considered financial instruments but have value, this fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full market value of the Company.

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are as follows at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017:2018:

The methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments at March 31, 20182019 is in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, as amended by ASU 2016-01 which requires public entities to use exit pricing in the calculation of the above tables. Prior period fair value calculations were ran on the assumption of entry pricing and therefore the comparability between the periods above are diminished.

Restricted Stock:
The carrying value of restricted securities such as stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and other bankers' bank stock approximates fair value.

Loans:
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, financial, and agricultural, commercial real estate, residential real estate, construction real estate, and installment loans to individuals.  Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.

The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan.  The estimate of maturity is based on the

25

Table of Contents


Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.

Fair value for significant nonperforming loans is based on recent external appraisals.  If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the estimated cash flows.  Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discounted rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and specific borrower information.

Deposits:
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings, NOW, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand.  The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.

Long Term Borrowings:
The fair value of long term borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Financial Guarantees Written:
There is no material difference between the notional amount and the estimated fair value of off-balance sheet items.  The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of credit are presented in Note 9 (Off-Balance Sheet Risk).

The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straightline basis over the options’ vesting periods while ensuring that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at least equals the value of the vested portion of the award at that date. The Company determines the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury bond with a similar term to the expected life of the options at the grant date. Expected volatility was estimated based on the adjusted historic volatility of the Company’s shares. The expected life was estimated to equal the contractual life of the options. The dividend yield rate was based upon recent historical dividends paid on shares.

Compensation expense for stock options is recognized using the fair value when the stock options are granted and is amortized over the options' vesting period. Compensation expense related to stock options was $7,000$136,000 for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 compared to $5,000 $7,000 for the same period of 2017.2018. As of March 31, 2018,2019, no stock options were exercisable and the weighted average years to expiration were 9was 9.19 years. The fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 20182019 was approximately $1,077,000$1,208,000 or $43.08$7.55 per award. Total unrecognized compensation cost for non-vested options was $106,000$2,528,000 and will be recognized over their weighted average remaining vesting period of 23.69 years.

Note 13.  Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018,A maturity analysis of operating and finance lease liabilities and reconciliation of the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, and applied the guidance to all contracts in scope that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

The core principle of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is that an entity recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. Topic 606 requires entities to exercise more judgment when considering the terms of a contract than under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Topic 606 applies to all contracts with customers to provide goods or services in the ordinary course of business, except for contracts that are specifically excluded from its scope.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with interest income on financial instruments, including loans and securities. Additionally, certain noninterest income streams such as certain credit and debit card fees, income from bank owned life insurance, and gain and losses on sales of investment securities are out of scope of Topic 606.

Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts, merchant income, wire transfer income, check cashing fees, check printing fees, safe deposit box rental fees, life insurance and brokerage commissions. These revenue streams are largely transactional based and revenue is recognized upon completion of transaction.

Principal versus Agent Considerations

When more than one party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, Topic 606 requires the Company to determine whether it is the principal or an agent in these transactions by evaluating the nature of its promiseundiscounted cash flows to the customer. An entitytotal operating lease liability is a principal and therefore records revenue on a gross basis if it controls a promised good or service before transferring that good or service to the customer. An entity is an agent and records as revenue the net amount it retains for its agency services if its role is to arrange for another entity to provide the goods or services. The Company most commonly acts as a principal and records revenue on a gross basis, except in certain circumstances. As an example, revenues earned from interchange fees, in which the Company acts as an agent, are recorded as non-interest income, net of the related expenses paid to the principal. Brokerage and insurance commissions are recognized when the M Group's services to the broker dealer and investment representative are complete.

Debit Card Fees

Interchange fees are one source of debit and credit card income that is comprised of an amount merchants pay card-issuing banks for the processing of their electronic transactions as a form of payment. ATM service charges, check card usage, and POS debit card transactions generate interchange and debit card income. Per Topic 606 interchange and debit card transaction fees are reported net of related network costs. See Note 1 - Newly Adopted Accounting Standards. Antecedently, non-interest expense included network costs. Interchange and debit card transaction fees for the three months ended March 31, 2018 reported on a net basis totaled $333,000; for the three months ended March 31, 2017 such amount was $271,000.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Comparison of the and Three Months Ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018

Summary Results

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 was $3.2 million$3,944,000 compared to $2.7 million$3,208,000 for the same period of 2017,2018, including the effects of an increase in after-tax securities lossesgains of $163,000$84,000 (from a loss of $32,000 to a gain of $131,000 to a loss of $32,000).$52,000) for the three month periods. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 was $0.68$0.84 compared to $0.57 and $0.56, respectively,$0.68 for the first quartercorresponding period of 2017.2018. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.86%0.95% and 9.18%10.93% for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 compared to 0.79%0.86% and 7.69%9.18% for the corresponding period of 2017.2018. Net income from core operations (“operatingadjusted earnings”) was $3.2 million$3,892,000 for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 compared to $2.6 million$3,240,000 for the samecorresponding period of 2017.2018. Basic and diluted operatingadjusted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 were $0.69$0.83 compared to $0.54$0.69 basic and diluted for the corresponding period of 2017. Impacting the level of operating earnings were several factors including the continued shift of earning assets from the investment portfolio to the loan portfolio as the balance sheet is actively managed to reduce market risk and interest rate risk in a rising rate environment.2018.

Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations, or operatingadjusted earnings, in its analysis of the Company’s performance.  This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income by excluding significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature.  Because certain of these items and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes the presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company’s core businesses.  For purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, net income from core operations, or operatingadjusted earnings, means net income adjusted to exclude after-tax net securities gains or losses and bank-owned life insurance gains on death benefit.  These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 increased $702,000$1,708,000 to $2,048,000$3,756,000 compared to $1,346,000$2,048,000 for the same period of 2017.2018. The increase in interest expense is the result of growth within the deposit portfolio and the lengthening of the time deposit portfolio as part of a strategy to build balance sheet protection in a rising rate environment. In addition, short and long-term borrowings have been utilized to assist with the funding of the loan portfolio growth.

The increase in the net interest margin was driven by an increase in the yield on earning assets of 45 basis points ("bps") for the three month period. The impact of the decreasing investment portfolio balanceincrease in yield on earning assets was offsetlimited by 14.72% growththe increase in rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 48 bps for the three month period. The increase in the balance ofyield on earning assets was driven by an increase in the loan portfolio yield in conjunction with an increase in the average loan portfolio from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018.of $122.5 million. The primary funding for the loan growth was primarily funded by an increase in average total deposits.deposits of $96.7 million along with growth in average total borrowings of $63.9 million for the three month period. Core deposits represent a lower cost funding source than time deposits and comprise 79.34%75.62% of total deposits at March 31, 20182019 compared to 82.32%79.34% at March 31, 2017.2018. Limiting the positive impact on the net interest margin caused by the growth in core deposits was the lengthening of the time deposit portfolio.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s quarterly review of the loan portfolio.  The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served.  An external independent loan review is also performed annually for the Banks.  Management remains committed to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.

The allowance for loan losses is determined by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance has been determined.  Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  In addition, management considers industry standards and trends with respect to non-performing loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending segments.

Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2018,2019, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  A downturn in the local economy, increased unemployment, and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, loan loss provisions, and reductions in income.  Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Banks' loan loss allowance.  The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

When determining the appropriate allowance level, management has attributed the allowance for loan losses to various portfolio segments; however, the allowance is available for the entire portfolio as needed.

Investments

The fair value of the investment debt securities portfolio at March 31, 20182019 increased $7,817,000$7,477,000 since December 31, 20172018 while the amortized cost of the portfolio increased $9,268,000.$5,506,000.  The growth in the investment portfolio has occurred within the municipal segment as bonds with a final maturity of inside of ten years have been purchased. The portfolio continues to be actively managed in order to reduce interest rate and market risk. This is being undertaken primarily through the sale of long-term municipal bonds that have a maturity date of 2025 or later and securities with a call date within the next five years.  The proceeds of the bond sales are being deployed into loans and intermediate term corporate bonds and short and intermediate term municipal bonds.  The strategy to sell a portion of the long-term bond portfolio does negatively impact current earnings, but this action plays a key role in our long-term asset liability management strategy as the balance sheet is shortened in anticipation of a steadily rising rate environment. The unrealized losses within the debt securities portfolio are the result of market activity, not credit issues/ratings, as approximately 82.91%79.05% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is currently rated A or higher by either S&P or Moody’s.

The Company considers various factors, which include examples from applicable accounting guidance, when analyzing the available for sale portfolio for possible other than temporary impairment.  The Company primarily considers the following factors in its analysis: length of time and severity of the fair value being less than carrying value; reduction of dividend paid (equities); continued payment of dividend/interest, credit rating, and financial condition of an issuer; intent and ability to hold until anticipated recovery (which may be maturity); and general outlook for the economy, specific industry, and entity in question.

The bond portion of the portfolio review is conducted with emphases on several factors.  Continued payment of principal and interest is given primary importance with credit rating and financial condition of the issuer following as the next most important.  Credit ratings were reviewed with the ratings of the bonds being satisfactory.  Bonds that were not currently rated were discussed with a third party and/or underwent an internal financial review.  The Company also monitors whether each of the investments incurred a decline in fair value from carrying value of at least 20% for twelve consecutive months or a similar decline of at least 50% for three consecutive months.  Each bond is reviewed to determine whether it is a general obligation bond, which is backed by the credit and taxing power of the issuing jurisdiction, or a revenue bond, which is only payable from specified revenues.  Based on the review undertaken by the Company, the Company determined that the decline in value of the various bond holdings were temporary and were the result of the general market downturns and interest rate/yield curve changes, not credit issues.  The fact that almost all of such bonds are general obligation bonds further solidified the Company’s determination that the decline in the value of these bond holdings is temporary.

The fair value of the equity portfolio continues to fluctuate as the economic and political environment continues to impact stock pricing. The amortized cost of the available for sale equity securities portfolio has increased slightly to $1,837,000remained flat at $1,628,000 for March 31, 2018 from $1,836,000 at2019 and December 31, 20172018 while the fair value decreased $33,000increased $43,000 over the same time period.

Financing Activities

Deposits

Total deposits increased $46,134,000$89,158,000 from December 31, 20172018 to March 31, 2018.  The growth was led by an increase in NOW deposit accounts from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 of $25,238,000.2019. The increase in core deposits (deposits less time deposits) has provided relationship driven funding for the loan and investment portfolios. While deposit gathering efforts have centered on core deposits, the lengthening of the time deposit portfolio is moving forward as part of the strategy to build balance sheet protection in a rising rate environment. The increase in deposits is the result of our focus on building relationships, not by offering market leading rates.

Capital

The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources and regulatory guidelines.  Management seeks to maintain a level of capital sufficient to support existing assets and anticipated asset growth, maintain favorable access to capital markets, and preserve high quality credit ratings.

Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines.  The risk-based capital rules are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.  Specifically, each is required to maintain certain minimum dollar amounts and ratios of common equity tier I risk-based, tier I risk-based, total risk-based, and tier I leverage capital. In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act ("FDICIA") established five capital categories for banks ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.”undercapitalized” for purposes of the FDIC's prompt corrective action rules. To be classified as “well capitalized”, under the prompt corrective action rules, common equity tier I risk-based, tier I risked-based, total risk-based, and tier I leverage capital ratios must be at least 6.5%, 8%, 10%, and 5%, respectively.

In July 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted revisions to the agencies’ capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action rules, which were designed to enhance such requirements and implement the revised standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly referred to as Basel III.  The July 2013 finalUnder existing capital rules, generally implement higher minimum capital requirements, add a new common equity tier 1 capital requirement, and establish criteria that instruments must meet to be considered common equity tier 1 capital, additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital.  The newthe minimum capital to risk-adjusted assets requirements for banking organizations, are a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% (6.5% to be considered “well capitalized”) and, a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, increased from 4.0% (and increased from 6.0% to 8.0% (8.0% to be considered “well capitalized”); the, and total capital ratio remains atof 8.0% under the new rules (10.0% to be considered “well capitalized”).  Under the newexisting capital rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers), a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets. The new minimum capital requirements were effective beginning on January 1, 2015.  The capital contribution buffer requirements phasephased in over a three-year period beginning January 1, 2016.

Liquidity; Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

The asset/liability committee addresses the liquidity needs of the Company to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet credit demands and deposit withdrawals as well as to the placement of available funds in the investment portfolio.  In assessing liquidity requirements, equal consideration is given to the current position as well as the future outlook.

The following liquidity measures are monitored for compliance and were within the limits cited, except for net loans to total deposits, at March 31, 2018:2019:

1.           Net Loans to Total Assets, 85% maximum
2.             Net Loans to Total Deposits, 100% maximum
3.             Cumulative 90 day Maturity GAP %, +/- 20% maximum
4.             Cumulative 1 Year Maturity GAP %, +/- 25% maximum

Fundamental objectives of the Company’s asset/liability management process are to maintain adequate liquidity while minimizing interest rate risk. The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Company with the ability to meet its financial obligations to depositors, loan customers, and shareholders. Additionally, it provides funds for normal operating expenditures and business opportunities as they arise.  The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to increase net interest income by managing interest sensitive assets and liabilities in such a way that they can be repriced in response to changes in market interest rates.

The Banks, like other financial institutions, must have sufficient funds available to meet liquidity needs for deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and originations, and expenses. In order to control cash flow, the Banks estimate future cash flows from deposits, loan payments, and investment security payments. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, FHLB borrowings, and brokered deposits. Management believes the Banks have adequate resources to meet their normal funding requirements.

Management monitors the Company’s liquidity on both a long and short-term basis, thereby providing management necessary information to react to current balance sheet trends. Cash flow needs are assessed and sources of funds are determined. Funding strategies consider both customer needs and economical cost. Both short and long-term funding needs are addressed by maturities

and sales of available for sale and trading investment securities, loan repayments and maturities, and liquidating money market investments such as federal funds sold. The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit, provides core funding to satisfy depositor, borrower, and creditor needs.

Management monitors and determines the desirable level of liquidity. Consideration is given to loan demand, investment opportunities, deposit pricing and growth potential, as well as the current cost of borrowing funds. The Company has a total current maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $384,091,000.$592,778,000. In addition to this credit arrangement, the Company has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $52,000,000.$57,000,000. Management believes it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding needs. FHLB borrowings totaled $174,987,000$216,831,000 as of March 31, 2018.2019.

Interest rate sensitivity, which is closely related to liquidity management, is a function of the repricing characteristics of the Company’s portfolio of assets and liabilities. Asset/liability management strives to match maturities and rates between loan and investment security assets with the deposit liabilities and borrowings that fund them. Successful asset/liability management results in a balance sheet structure which can cope effectively with market rate fluctuations. The matching process by segments both assets and liabilities into future time periods (usually 12 months, or less) based upon when repricing can be effected. Repriceable assets are subtracted from repriceable liabilities for a specific time period to determine the “gap”, or difference. Once known, the gap is managed based on predictions about future market interest rates. Intentional mismatching, or gapping, can enhance net interest income if market rates move as predicted.  However, if market rates behave in a manner contrary to predictions, net interest income will suffer. Gaps, therefore, contain an element of risk and must be prudently managed. In addition to gap management, the Company has an asset/liability management policy which incorporates a market value at risk calculation which is used to determine the effects of interest rate movements on shareholders’ equity and a simulation analysis to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company currently maintains a gap position of being asset sensitive.  The Company has strategically taken this position as it has decreased the duration of the earning asset portfolio by adding quality short and intermediate term loans such as home equity loans and the selling of long-term municipal bonds.  Lengthening of the liability portfolio is being undertaken to build protection in a rising rate environment.

A market value at risk calculation is utilized to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Company’s balance sheet and more specifically shareholders’ equity.  The Company does not manage the balance sheet structure in order to maintain compliance with this calculation.  The calculation serves as a guideline with greater emphasesemphasis placed on interest rate sensitivity.  Changes to calculation results from period to period are reviewed as changes in results could be a signal of future events.  As of the most recent analysis, the results of the market value at risk calculation were within established guidelines due to the strategic direction being taken.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

In this analysis the Company examines the result of a 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point change in market interest rates and the effect on net interest income. It is assumed that the change is instantaneous and that all rates move in a parallel manner.  Assumptions are also made concerning prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and mortgage securities.

The following is a rate shock forecast for the twelve month period ending March 31, 20192020 assuming a static balance sheet as of March 31, 2018.

The model utilized to create the report presented above makes various estimates at each level of interest rate change regarding cash flow from principal repayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and/or call activity on investment securities.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in the calculated projected change.  In addition, the limits stated above do not necessarily represent the level of change under which management would undertake specific measures to realign its portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of change.  Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook changes.

Inflation

The asset and liability structure of a financial institution is primarily monetary in nature.  Therefore, interest rates rather than inflation have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance.  Interest rates are not always affected in the same direction or magnitude as prices of other goods and services, but are reflective of fiscal policy initiatives or economic factors which are not measured by a price index.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk for the Company is comprised primarily of interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk.  Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at both the level of the Company and the Banks.  The Company’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced by an independent third party.  There have been no substantial changes in the Company’s gap analysis or simulation analysis compared to the information provided in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2017.2018.  Additional information and details are provided in the “Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity, and Market Risk” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond in a timely manner when the market interest rate outlook changes.
