These interim financial statements are prepared by the Company without audit and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  The results of operations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.2020.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("(“US GAAP"GAAP”) that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances.  The Annual Report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 20162019 contains consolidated financial statements and related notes which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements for 20162019 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2017.2020.  These reclassifications had no effect on the net income or shareholders'shareholders’ equity.

RECENT EVENTS:  In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States and around the world. COVID-19 has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and increased unemployment levels. The resulting temporary closure of many businesses and the implementation of social distancing and sheltering-in-place policies has, and may continue to impact, many of the Company’s customers. While the full effects of the pandemic remain unknown, the Company is committed to supporting its customers, employees and communities during this difficult time.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), was signed into law. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. Certain provisions within the CARES Act encourage financial institutions to practice prudent efforts to work with borrowers impacted by COVID-19. Under these provisions, modifications deemed to be COVID-19-related would not be considered a troubled debt restructuring if the loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and the deferral was executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of 60 days after the date of termination of the COVID-19 national emergency or December 31, 2020. Also under the CARE Act, the Bank is a lender for the Small Business Administration's (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), a program that provides assistance to small businesses. The PPP provides small businesses with funds to pay up to 8 weeks of payroll costs, including benefits. The funds are provided in the form of loans that will be fully forgiven when used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. The payments on these loans will be deferred for six months. Forgiveness of the PPP loans is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:  The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform to US GAAP established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The potential financial impact of COVID 19 is unknown at this time. However, if these actions are sustained, it may adversely impact several industries within our geographic footprint and impair the ability of our customers to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. This could cause the Company to experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations. Effects may include:

• The provision for loan losses could increase. Continued uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic effects will continue to affect the accounting for loan losses. It also is possible that asset quality could worsen, and loan charge-offs increase. The Company is actively participating in the PPP program providing loans to small businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government, if that should change, the Company could be required to increase its allowance for loan losses through an additional provision for loan losses charged to earnings.

• Valuation and fair value measurement challenges may occur. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on the Company’s securities, impaired loans, other real estate owned, and interest rate swap agreements.

INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION:  Internal financial information is primarily reported and aggregated in two lines of business,business: banking and consumer finance.

EARNINGS PER SHARE:  Earnings per share are computed based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  The weighted average common shares outstanding were 4,688,2844,787,446 and 4,466,6014,748,474 for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016, respectively.  The weighted average common shares outstanding were 4,680,846 and 4,246,311 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,2019, respectively.  Ohio Valley had no dilutive effect and no potential common shares issuable under stock options or other agreements for any period presented.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:STANDARD UPDATES (“ASU”): In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)". The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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. Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, however, adoption by the Company is not expected to have a material impact.  The Company's primary sources of revenues are derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of ASU 2014-09.

NOTE 1- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In January 2016,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU eliminates, adds and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities".  The update provides updated accounting and reportingmodifies certain disclosure requirements for both public and non-public entities.  The most significant provisions that will impact the Company are: 1) equity securities available for sale will be measured at fair value withmeasurements. Among the changes, in fair value recognized in the income statement; 2) eliminate the requiremententities will no longer be required to disclose the method(s)amount of and significant assumptions used to estimatereasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value that ishierarchy but will be required to be discloseddisclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for financial instruments at amortized cost on the balance sheet; 3) utilization of the exit price notion when measuring theLevel 3 fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) require separate presentation of both financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or accompanying notes to the financial statements.  The update will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, using a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption.  Early adoptionmeasurements. ASU 2018-13 is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-02, Leases) which will require lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets and recognize leasing expenses in the income statement. Operating leases, except for short-term leases that are subject to an accounting policy election, will be recorded on the balance sheet for lessees by establishing a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. The guidance in this ASU will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with2019, and early adoption is permitted. ManagementFor non-public entities, this ASU is currently evaluating the impacteffective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this updateASU did not have a material impact on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.position or results of operations.

ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE TO BE ADOPTED IN FUTURE PERIODS:In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses"Losses”. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to report "expected" credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather thanreplace the current "incurred loss"“incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model.  These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity'sentity’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. ThisA CECL steering committee has developed a CECL model and is evaluating the source data, various credit loss methodologies and model results in relation to the new ASU guidance.  Management expects 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 effectiveeffective.  Management expects the adoption will result in a material increase to the allowance for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Management is currently in the developmental stages, collecting available historical information, in order to assess the expected credit losses.  However,loan losses balance.  At this time, the impact tois being evaluated. On October 16, 2019, the financial statements are still yet to be determined.

In August 2016, FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-15, "Statementconfirmed it would delay the effective date of Cash Flows") (Topic 230), which addresses eight specific cash flow issues withthis ASU for smaller reporting companies, such as the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update apply to all entities, including business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows, and are effective for public business entities forCompany, until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.  Adoption by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.2022.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other) which is intended to simplify the measurement of goodwill in periods following the date on which the goodwill is initially recorded.  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 unit's fair value.  However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.  A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 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.  Adoption by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company'scompany’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
 
The following is a description of the Company'sCompany’s valuation methodologies used to measure and disclose the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis:
 
Securities:  The fair values for securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

Impaired Loans:  At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower'sborrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management'smanagement’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management'smanagement’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client'sclient’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.


Other Real Estate Owned:  Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. In some instances, fair value adjustments can be made based on a quoted price from an observable input, such as a purchase agreement.  Such adjustments would be classified as a Level 2 classification.

NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of management reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with management'smanagement’s own assumptions of fair value based on factors that include recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

On an as-needed basis, the Company reviews the fair value of collateral, taking into consideration current market data, as well as all selling costs that typically approximate 10%.
10


NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)Interest Rate Swap Agreements:  The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments).  The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves (Level 2).

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair values are described as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Certificates of Deposit in Financial Institutions: The carrying amounts of certificates of deposit in financial institutions approximate fair values and are classified as Level 2.

Securities Held to Maturity:  The fair values for securities held to maturity are determined in the same manner as securities held for sale and discussed earlier in this note.  Level 3 securities consist of nonrated municipal bonds and tax credit ("QZAB") bonds.

Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks: It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and United Bankers Bank stock due to restrictions placed on their transferability.

Loans: Fair values of loans are estimated as follows:  The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification.  For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.
13


NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for noninterest-bearing deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Other Borrowed Funds: The carrying values of the Company's short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated Debentures: The fair values of the Company's Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value, resulting in a classification that is consistent with the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with which it is associated.

Off-balance Sheet Instruments:  Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material.

Fair value estimates 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'sCompany’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company'sCompany’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 estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

A troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"(“TDR”) occurs when the Company has agreed to a loan modification in the form of a concession for a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty.  All TDR'sTDRs are considered to be impaired.   The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; a reduction in the contractual principal and interest payments of the loan; or short-term interest-only payment terms.

The Company has allocated reserves for a portion of its TDR'sTDRs to reflect the fair values of the underlying collateral or the present value of the concessionary terms granted to the customer.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. These risk categories are represented by a loan grading scale from 1 through 10.11. The Company analyzes loans individually with a higher credit risk rating and groups these loans into categories called "criticized"“criticized” and "classified"”classified” assets. The Company considers its criticized assets to be loans that are graded 8 and its classified assets to be loans that are graded 9 through 11. The Company'sCompany’s risk categories are reviewed at least annually on loans that have aggregate borrowing amounts that meet or exceed $500.$750.

The Company uses the following definitions for its criticized loan risk ratings:

Special Mention.  Loans classified as special mention indicate considerable risk due to deterioration of repayment (in the earliest stages) due to potential weak primary repayment source, or payment delinquency.  These loans will be under constant supervision, are not classified and do not expose the institution to sufficient risks to warrant classification.  These deficiencies should be correctable within the normal course of business, although significant changes in company structure or policy may be necessary to correct the deficiencies.  These loans are considered bankable assets with no apparent loss of principal or interest envisioned.  The perceived risk in continued lending is considered to have increased beyond the level where such loans would normally be granted.  Credits that are defined as a troubled debt restructuringTDR should be graded no higher than special mention until they have been reported as performing over one year after restructuring.




2321


NOTE 4 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)

The Company uses the following definitions for its classified loan risk ratings:

Substandard.  Loans classified as substandard represent very high risk, serious delinquency, nonaccrual, or unacceptable credit. Repayment through the primary source of repayment is in jeopardy due to the existence of one or more well defined weaknesses and the collateral pledged may inadequately protect collection of the loans. Loss of principal is not likely if weaknesses are corrected, although financial statements normally reveal significant weakness. Loans are still considered collectible, although loss of principal is more likely than with special mention loan grade 8 loans. Collateral liquidation is considered likely to satisfy debt.

Doubtful.  Loans classified as doubtful display a high probability of loss, although the amount of actual loss at the time of classification is undetermined. This classification should be temporary until such time that actual loss can be identified, or improvements made to reduce the seriousness of the classification. These loans exhibit all substandard characteristics with the addition that weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. This classification consists of loans where the possibility of loss is high after collateral liquidation based upon existing facts, market conditions, and value. Loss is deferred until certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may strengthen the credit can be more accurately determined. These factors may include proposed acquisitions, liquidation procedures, capital injection, receipt of additional collateral, mergers, or refinancing plans. A doubtful classification for an entire credit should be avoided when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable with the adequately secured portion graded substandard.

Loss.  Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and are of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the credit has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset yielding such a minimum value even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.  Amounts classified as loss should be promptly charged off.

Criticized and classified loans will mostly consist of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. The Company considers its loans that do not meet the criteria for a criticized and classified asset rating as pass rated loans, which will include loans graded from 1 (Prime) to 7 (Watch). All commercial loans are categorized into a risk category either at the time of origination or reevaluation date. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016,2019, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of commercial loans by class of loans was as follows:

The Company also obtains the credit scores of its borrowers upon origination (if available by the credit bureau), but the scores are not updated. The Company focuses mostly on the performance and repayment ability of the borrower as an indicator of credit risk and does not consider a borrower's credit score to be a significant influence in the determination of a loan's credit risk grading.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 6, 2017, the Company received $730 in insurance proceeds for the reimbursement of fraudulent wire transactions.  The losses were first recorded on May 9, 2017, when the Company was made aware that four wire transfers it had processed in May 2017 totaling $933 were fraudulently initiated. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company had recovered $103 of the losses.  The insurance proceeds will be recorded as a recovery in the fourth quarter of 2017 and will generate a $730 increase to pre-tax earnings on a consolidated basis.
LEASES

Substantially all of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities represent leases for branch buildings and office space to conduct business.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The lease expense for these leases are recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with initial terms in excess of 12 months are recorded as either operating or financing leases on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has no finance lease arrangements. Operating leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 month to 17.3 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are valued based on the present value of future minimum lease payments, discounted with an incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The Company has one lease arrangement that contains variable lease payments that are adjusted periodically for an index.  Upon adoption of the new lease guidance on January 1, 2019, an initial ROU asset of $1,280 was recognized as a non-cash asset addition to the consolidated balance sheet.

Financial Overview

The Company is primarily engaged in commercial and retail banking, offering a blend of commercial and consumer banking services within southeastern Ohio as well as western West Virginia.  The banking services offered by the Bank include the acceptance of deposits in checking, savings, time and money market accounts; the making and servicing of personal, commercial, floor plan and student loans; the making of construction and real estate loans; and credit card services.  The Bank also offers individual retirement accounts, safe deposit boxes, wire transfers and other standard banking products and services.  In addition,January 2020, the Bank is onebegan offering Tax Refund Advance Loans (“TALs”) to Loan Central tax customers.  A TAL represents a short-term loan offered by the Bank to tax preparation customers of a limited number of financial institutions that facilitates the payment of tax refunds through a third-partyLoan Central.  Previously, Loan Central offered and originated tax refund product provider.  The Bank has facilitatedanticipation loans that represented a large composition of its annual earnings.  However, new Ohio laws that became effective in April 2019 placed numerous restrictions on short-term and small loans extended by certain non-bank lenders in Ohio.  As a result, Loan Central is no longer able to directly offer the paymentservice to its tax preparation customers, but it is able to do so through the Bank.  After Loan Central prepares a customer’s tax return, the customer is offered the opportunity to have immediate access to a portion of thesethe anticipated tax refunds through electronic refund check/deposit ("ERC/ERD") transactions.  ERC/ERD transactions involveby entering into a TAL with the paymentBank.  As part of the process, the tax customer completes a loan application and authorizes the expected tax refund to the taxpayer afterbe deposited with the Bank has receivedonce it is issued by the refund fromIRS.  Once the federal/state government.  ERC/ERD transactions occur primarily duringBank receives the tax refund, season, typicallythe refund is used to repay the TAL and Loan Central’s tax preparation fees, then the remainder of the refund is remitted to Loan Central’s tax customer.

IMPACT of COVID-19: The primary markets served by the Company in southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia have been significantly impacted by the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") epidemic and has changed the way we live and work. In March 2020, the Governors for both the State of Ohio and West Virginia issued Executive Orders for all non-essential businesses to close and banned large scale gatherings. These Governors issued orders for a slow, phased-in reopening of certain businesses beginning at the end of April. We remain committed to ensuring our associates, clients, and communities are receiving the support they need during these challenging times. All of our banking centers, with the exception of our Holzer and Gallipolis Wal-Mart offices, remain operational through our drive-thru services and on an appointment-only basis in the lobbies. We have leveraged our digital banking platform with our customers, and we have implemented company-wide remote working arrangements. These accommodations are likely to have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations during the duration of the epidemic, and, depending on how quickly the businesses of our customers rebound after the emergency, could lead to an increase in nonperforming assets.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law. The CARES Act provides assistance to small businesses through the establishment of the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"). The PPP provides small businesses with funds to pay up to 8 weeks of payroll costs, including benefits. The funds are provided in the form of loans that will be fully forgiven when used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. The payments on these loans will be deferred for six months. Forgiveness of the PPP loans is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Most small businesses with 500 or fewer employees are eligible. Our teams are working diligently to support our clients who are experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 through participation in the PPP, assistance with expedited deposits of CARES Act stimulus payments, and loan modifications, as needed.

The length of the pandemic and the effectiveness of the extraordinary government-mandated measures that have been put into place to address it are unknown, but have already had, and are likely to continue to have, a significantly negative impact to the U.S. labor market, consumer spending and business operations. Several actions have been taken by governmental authorities to address the economic impact of the pandemic, including the Federal Reserve reducing the federal funds rate by 1.5% to a target range of 0 to 0.25% as well as taking additional actions, such as providing up to $2.3 trillion in loans to support the economy, and the passage of the CARES Act, which provides over $2 trillion in economic assistance for American workers, families and small businesses.

Net income totaled $1,002 during the first quarter of each year.  Loan Central also provides refund anticipation loans ("RALs")2020, a decrease of $191, or 16.0%, compared to its customers.  RALs are short-term cash advances against a customer's anticipated income tax refund.

On August 5, 2016, the Company completed the merger of Milton Bancorp, Inc. ("Milton Bancorp") into Ohio Valley.  Immediately following the merger, Milton Bancorp's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Milton Banking Company ("Milton Bank"), was merged with and into the Bank.  Milton Bank's results of operations were included in the Company's results beginning August 6, 2016.  This transaction resulted in the addition of $132 million in assets and 5 branch locations in Jackson, Madison and Pickaway counties in Ohio.

Net income totaled $1,653$1,193 during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, compared to $358 during the third quarter of 2016.2019. Earnings per share for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172020 finished at $.35$.21 per share, compared to $.08 per share during the third quarter of 2016.  The Company's net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $6,611, compared to $4,896 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  Earnings$.25 per share during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017 finished at $1.41 per share, compared to $1.15 per share2019.  Earnings during the first nine monthsquarter of 2016.  Higher earnings during both the quarterly and year-to-date periods2020 were largely impacted primarily by the benefits of higher netdecreases in interest and noninterest income, as well as lowerfee loan revenue and higher provision expense.  These benefits wereexpense being partially offset by general increases in various overhead expenses during both the quarterlyhigher noninterest revenue and year-to-date periods.lower noninterest expenses.

The negative impact of lower net earnings during the first three months of 2020 also had a direct impact to the Company’s annualized net income to average asset ratio, or return on assets, ("ROA"), increasedwhich decreased to 0.87%0.40% at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, compared to 0.74%0.47% at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2019.  The Company'sCompany’s net income to average equity ratio, or return on equity, ("ROE"), also increaseddecreased to 8.24%3.14% at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, compared to 6.85%4.08% at September 30, 2016.

Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 showed positive growth over the same periods in 2016, increasing 14.3% and 18.9%, respectively. The increase came primarily from interest revenues associated with year-to-date average earning asset growth of $119,910.   The growth in year-to-date average earning assets came primarily from average loans, which contributed $129,968 to the increase in average earning assets.  While the Company continues to experience growth from its existing markets, the large growth in loans came primarily from the Milton Bank merger, which resulted in the acquisition of $112 million in loans.  Also contributing to net interest income growth was higher interest recorded from the Company's interest-bearing Federal Reserve clearing account.  While the average interest-bearing balances maintained at the Federal Reserve have decreased 19.4% during the first nine months of 2017, it has been the Federal Reserve's action of increasing short-term interest rates that has contributed to higher interest income.March 31, 2019.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company's provision expenseMarch 31, 2020, net interest income decreased $107 and $407$1,383, or 12.1%, from the same periodsperiod in 2016, respectively.  Lower provision expense during 20172019.  The decrease was largely impacted bymostly attributable to lower loan fees, net interest margin compression, and a $2,741 decrease in specific allocations from December 31, 2016average earning assets. The decrease in loan fees was primarily the result of Loan Central not being able to offer tax refund anticipation loans in 2020 due to changes in Ohio lending regulations, as previously described above. As a result, fees related to the financial performance improvement of one commercial real estate loan relationshiptax refund anticipation loans decreased $709 during the first quarter of 2017.2020, as compared to the same period last year. As discussed below, Loan Central’s tax preparation fee income from TAL offerings during the first quarter of 2020 was recorded to noninterest income. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, the net interest margin finished at 4.34%, a decrease of 55 basis points from 4.89% during the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in specific allocationsquarterly margin was partially offsetheavily impacted by lower tax refund loan advance fees, which made up 30 basis points of the overall decrease.  Margin compression was also impacted by decreasing market rates that contributed to lower asset yields during the first quarter of 2020.  Since the second half of 2019, the Federal Reserve Bank has lowered the federal funds rate by 225 basis points through March 31, 2020.  Most recently, rates were reduced by 150 basis points in March 2020 due to concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on the economy. Although the effects of lower market rates have reduced earning asset yields, the effects have not yet fully impacted the Company’s interest-bearing deposit costs.  The Company’s interest rates on time deposits have repriced downward, which will only have an impact of lowering interest expense when new time deposits are issued going forward.  Furthermore, certain interest-bearing deposits were already at or near their interest rate floors, which also limited the Company’s ability to reduce deposit costs during the first quarter of 2020.  This lagging effect of deposit cost reduction combined with a $2,355more rate-sensitive earning asset portfolio further contributed to a lower net interest margin during the first quarter of 2020.  Also impacting net interest income was the Company’s average earning assets, which decreased $17,327, or 1.8%, during the first quarter of 2020 from the same period the prior year.  Average asset decreases came mostly from the commercial and installment loan segments of the loan portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s provision expense increased $1,469, or 61.8%, compared to the same period in 2019.  The increase was largely impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a higher general allocations from December 31, 2016 relatedallocation of the allowance for loan losses during the first quarter of 2020.  Based on declining economic conditions and increasing unemployment levels, management increased general reserves by $1,942 to specific loan portfolio risks that management determined were necessary.  Provision expense during 2017 has alsoreflect higher anticipated losses due to the expected financial impact of COVID-19 on its customers.  The Company benefited from lower classified assets and lower net charge-offs on loans withoutwith no specific reserves.  Impacted by a lower levelallocation that helped to partially offset the provision expense impact of specific reserves,COVID-19. The Company will continue to closely monitor COVID-19 and expects to make the appropriate adjustments within the allowance for loan losses decreased by $386 from year-end 2016in response to finish at $7,313, or .94% ofthe pandemic as the situation evolves.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company finished with $4,442 in total loans at September 30, 2017,noninterest income, as compared to 1.05% at December 31, 2016 and 1.04% at September 30, 2016.
Total noninterest income$1,846 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $589, or 34.8%, overMarch 31, 2019.  The improvement in noninterest revenue was primarily attributable to proceeds of $2,000 received in a litigation settlement with a third-party. Noninterest revenue was also derived from a $615 increase in tax preparation fee income.  This was the third quarterresult of 2016, and increased $718, or 10.6%,the Company changing its business model in 2020 from assessing tax refund advance loan fees to now assessing tax preparation fees in response to a state law enacted in 2019. Higher losses from the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020 limited revenue growth, which reduced earnings by $101.  All other remaining noninterest income activity during the first quarter of 2020 increased $82, or 4.4%, as compared to the same period from 2019.  This income growth came mostly from bank owned life insurance and annuity assets, as well as debit and credit card interchange income.

The Company benefited from lower noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2020, finishing at $9,519, a decrease of $49, or 0.5%, from the first quarter of 2019.  The Company’s largest noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits, decreased $81, or 1.5%, from the first quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily from the expense savings associated with a lower number of employees from the sale of two branches in December 2019 and the voluntary severance program that was completed during the fourth quarter of 2019, which more than offset the expense increase associated with annual merit increases in 2020. Also contributing to lower overhead costs were professional fees, which decreased $74, or 11.0%, from the first quarter of 2019. This expense savings was related to lower audit expense and litigation related legal fees. Foreclosed asset costs were also down $63, or 59.4%, from the first quarter of 2019, in relation to a lower volume of foreclosures combined with recoveries of previously paid real estate taxes and insurance on certain foreclosed properties. Partially offsetting overhead expense reductions was an increase in data processing expense, which increased $64, or 12.0%, from the first quarter of 2019, largely from credit card processing and website maintenance costs.  Also, customer incentive costs that are included in other noninterest expense were up $53, or 18.4%, from the first quarter of 2019.

The Company’s provision for income taxes decreased $16 during the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2016.  Noninterest2019. This is largely due to the changes in taxable income improvement wasaffected by the factors mentioned above.   

At March 31, 2020, total assets were $1,035,841, compared to $1,013,272 at year-end 2019.  Higher assets were impacted primarilymostly by bank owned life insurance and annuity assets, which grew over $400 during both the quarterly and year-to-date periods.  This was largely the result of net bank owned life insurance proceeds collected in the third quarter of 2017.  Further impacting noninterest income growth were increases in fee income related to a higher deposit basecash and cash equivalents, which were up $14,315, or 27.3%, from the Milton Bank acquisition.  The higher deposit base contributed to year-to-date increases of over 30% in debit and credit card interchange income and over 11% in service charges on deposit accounts.  Partially offsetting growth in noninterest income were lower tax processing fees through ERC/ERD transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  In addition to a reduced number of tax refunds being processed during the first nine months of 2017, the per item fees received by the Company were lower under the new contract with the third-party tax refund product provider. Comparing 2017 to 2016, the change in the remaining noninterest income categories was minimal during the third quarter, increasing $24, while the year-to-date change resulted in a decrease of $121 during the nine months ending September 30, primarily from higher losses on the sale of other real estate owned ("OREO").

Total noninterest expense increased $394 for the third quarter of 2017, and increased $3,903 during the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016.year-end 2019. The increase was driven by excess funds from growth in retail deposits.  Asset growth was also impacted by the acquisition of Milton Bank,Company’s available for sale investment securities portfolio, which contributed to general increases in most noninterest expense categories related to having a larger organization after the merger.  Overhead expense has been impacted mostly by salaries and employee benefit costs, which decreased by $13, or 0.3%, during the third quarter of 2017, but increased $1,398, or 9.9%, during the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016.  Contributing to the decrease for the third quarter was a $316 reduction in non-qualified defined benefit expenses associated with the restructuring of and accounting for post-retirement benefits of a former employee.  The year-to-date increase was largely the result of adding Milton Bank employees, as well as annual merit increases and higher health insurance costs. Further contributing to higher overhead costs was fraud expense.  During the second quarter of 2017, management discovered four fraudulent wire transfers with a single account relationship totaling $933.  After recovering a portion of the money, the Company's net fraud expense totaled $842 as of September 30, 2017, which impacted other noninterest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in merger related expenses, which were down $410 and $744 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively.  The remaining noninterest categories increased $805, or 23.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and increased $2,407, or 24.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 2016.  This additional overhead expense came primarily from data processing, consulting costs, professional fees, and expenses associated with facilities.

At September 30, 2017, total assets were $1,019,614, compared to $954,640 at year-end 2016.  Asset growth was impacted mostly by gross loan balances, which were up by $43,056$6,873 from year-end 2016, driven by higher residential real estate and consumer auto loan originations, as well as commercial loan balance increases from the West Virginia market area. Total investment securities also increased 8.3% from year-end 2016,2019.  This was due mostly to new purchases of Agency mortgage-backed securities.securities during the first quarter of 2020.  The growthCompany’s loan portfolio increased $2,312, finishing at $775,086 at March 31, 2020, compared to $772,774 at year-end 2019.  The commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending segments experienced in loans and securitiesa combined 2.5% increase from year-end 2019, which was partially fundedoffset by deposits, whicha combined 1.3% decrease in both the residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios. The Company’s premises and equipment increased 7.4%$1,749 from year-end 2016.2019, impacted by the construction of its new Second and State Street facility in Gallipolis, Ohio.  The facility officially opened in the first quarter of 2020 and consists mostly of executive offices and areas for processing.

Total deposit balances experienced continued growth during 2017, increasing $58,729 compared2019. Contributing most to this increase were higher interest-bearing deposits, which increased $33,753 from year-end 2016.  Noninterest-bearing deposits accounted for $23,602 of the increase, coming2019, mostly from seasonal tax collections contributing to higher public fund account balances, as well as a consumer shift into higher-costing money market accounts.  Partially offsetting the growth in interest-bearing deposits were reduced borrowings of $1,532 from the continued principal repayments of long-term advances with the FHLB. Liabilities were also impacted by lower noninterest-bearing deposits, which were down $9,345 from year-end 2019, related to lower business checking and incentive-based checking account transactions.  Interest-bearing deposits increased by $35,127, coming mostly from public fund accounts and wholesale deposits.balances.

at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20162019

The following discussion focuses, in more detail, on the consolidated financial condition of the Company at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2016.2019.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in this Form 10‑Q.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $50,402,$66,671, an increase of $10,236$14,315 from $40,166$52,356 at December 31, 2016.2019.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents came mostly from higher interest-bearing deposits on hand with correspondent banks.  Over 73% of cash and cash equivalents consist of the Company'sCompany’s interest-bearing Federal Reserve Bank clearing account, impacted by excess funds associated with deposit liability growth from year-end 2016.account. The Company utilizes its interest-bearing Federal Reserve Bank clearing account to maintain seasonal tax refund deposits,manage excess funds, as well as to fundassist in funding earning asset growth and maturities of retail certificates of deposit ("CD's").growth. The interest rate paid on both the required and excess reserve balances of the Federal Reserve Bank account is based on the targeted federal funds rate established by the Federal Open Market Committee.  Short-termDuring the second half of 2019, the rate increases of 25 basis points during each of December 2016, March 2017 and June 2017 causedassociated with the federal funds rate to finish at 1.25% at September 30, 2017.  The interest rate increases had a corresponding effect on the interest revenue growth experienced during the first nine months of 2017 onCompany’s Federal Reserve Bank clearing account balances.decreased 75 basis points to 1.75% as a result of the Federal Reserve’s action to decrease short-term market rates.  The 1.25% interestFederal Reserve again reduced short-term rates by 150 basis points during March 2020 due to concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, resulting in a target federal funds rate range of 0% to 0.25%.  Although interest-bearing deposits in the Federal Reserve Bank are the Company's lowest-yielding interest-earning asset, the investment rate is higher than the rate the Company would have received from its investments in federal funds sold. Furthermore, Federal Reserve Bank balances are 100% secured.

The Company’s focus will be to invest excess funds in longer-term, higher-yielding assets, primarily loans, when the opportunities arise. As liquidity levels vary continuously based on consumer activities, amounts of cash and cash equivalents can vary widely at any given point in time. As previously mentioned, the Bank settled the lawsuit filed against a third-party tax refund provider for breach of contract in March 2020.  In addition, the Bank entered into a new agreement with the third-party to process future electronic refund checks and deposits presented for payment on behalf of taxpayers through accounts containing taxpayer refunds. The Company's focusnew agreement provides that the Bank will be to invest excess fundsprocess refunds for five tax seasons, beginning with the 2021 tax season and going through the 2025 tax season.  As a result, the Bank anticipates this new tax agreement will materially impact its liquidity levels during the term of the agreement beginning in longer-term, higher-yielding assets, primarily loans, when the opportunities arise.2021.

Certificates of deposit

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company had $1,820$2,360 in certificates of deposit owned by the Captive, up slightlyunchanged from year-end 2016.2019.  The deposits on hand at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 consist of eightten certificates with remaining maturity terms ranging from less than 123 months up to 3530 months.

Securities

The balance of total securities increased $9,558,$6,648, or 8.3%5.7%, compared to year-end 2016.2019.  The Company'sCompany’s investment securities portfolio is made up mostly of U.S. Government agency ("Agency"(“Agency”) mortgage-backed securities, which increased $7,020,$7,593, or 8.2%8.6%, from year-end 20162019 and represented 74.6%77.6% of total investments at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020.  During the first ninethree months of 2017,2020, the Company invested $18,105$10,287 in new Agency mortgage-backed securities, while receiving principal repayments of $12,302.$5,352.  The monthly repayment of principal has been the primary advantage of Agency mortgage-backed securities as compared to other types of investment securities, which deliver proceeds upon maturity or call date.  The Company also experienced a $3,035, or 28.8%, increase in U.S. Government sponsored entity securities, primarily from new purchases during the second quarter of 2017.

In addition, decreasing market rates during 2020 led to a $2,937 decrease in the net unrealized loss position associated with the Company’s available for sale securities, which increased the fair value of securities at March 31, 2020.  The fair value of an investment security moves inversely to interest rates, so as rates decreased, the unrealized loss in the portfolio was reduced. These changes in rates are typical and do not impact earnings of the Company as long as the securities are held to full maturity.

Loans

The loan portfolio represents the Company'sCompany’s largest asset category and is its most significant source of interest income. Gross loan balances totaled $777,957$775,086 at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, representing an increase of $43,056,$2,312, or 5.9%0.3%, as compared to $734,901$772,774 at December 31, 2016.  Loans were positively impacted by2019.  Positive loan growth in residentialcame mostly from the commercial real estate consumer automobile and commercial and industrial loan balances.portfolios, partially offset by balance decreases in the residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios.

The majority of the Company’s increase in loans from year-end 2019 came from the commercial real estate loan portfolio, which increased $5,412, or 2.4%, from year-end 2019.  The commercial real estate segment comprised the largest portion of the Company’s total commercial loan portfolio at March 31, 2020 at 68.9%. Leading the growth in commercial real estate were increases in nonowner-occupied loan originations, with balances up $5,743, or 4.4%, from year-end 2019.  Further growth in loans came from commercial and industrial loans, which increased $2,547, or 2.5%, from year-end 2019.  Commercial and industrial loans consist of loans to corporate borrowers primarily in small to mid-sized industrial and commercial companies that include service, retail and wholesale merchants.  Collateral securing these loans includes equipment, inventory, and stock.  While management believes lending opportunities exist in the Company’s markets, future commercial lending activities will depend upon economic and related conditions, such as general demand for loans in the Company’s primary markets, interest rates offered by the Company, the effects of competitive pressure and normal underwriting considerations.  Management will continue to place emphasis on its commercial lending, which generally yields a higher return on investment as compared to other types of loans.

Partially offsetting the increases in both commercial loan portfolios were lower residential real estate loans, which decreased $2,374, or 0.8%, from year-end 2019.  The residential real estate loan segment comprises the largest portion of the Company'sCompany’s overall loan portfolio at 40.9%39.7% and consists primarily of one- to four-family residential mortgages and carries many of the same customer and industry risks as the commercial loan portfolio.  ResidentialThe decrease in residential real estate loan balances during the first nine months of 2017 increased $32,222 or 11.3%, from year-end 2016.  This increaseloans was largely from the result of the Bank's warehouse lending volume. Warehouse lending consists of a line of credit provided by the Bank to another mortgage lender that makes loans for the purchase of one- to four-family residential real estate properties. The mortgage lender eventually sells the loans and repays the Bank. From year-end 2016, warehouse lending balances increased $9,630 to finish at $15,155 at September 30, 2017.  The Company's growth in residential real estate loans was further impacted by higher balances in its Athens, Ohio and West Virginia markets, which were up $9,341 and $6,095, respectively.  The real estate loan portfolio is also impacted by loan construction projects.  During the period when a borrower's one- to four-family residential home is being built, it is first classified as a construction loan.  At the completion of this construction phase, the loan is re-classified to a residential real estate loan.  At September 30, 2017, construction loans were down 7.7%, indicating a higher transition of loan balances from commercial real estate to residential real estate.  Total loan production within the real estate portfolio consists of increasing short-term adjustable-rate mortgages partially offset by decreasing long-term fixed-rate mortgages. As part of management's interest rate risk strategy,Furthermore, the Company continues to sell mostexperience continued payoffs and maturities of itsboth long-term fixed-rate residential mortgages to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, while maintaining the servicing rights for those mortgages.  A customer that does not qualify for a long-term, secondary market loan may choose from one of the Company's other adjustable-rate mortgage products, which contributed to higher balances ofand short-term adjustable-rate mortgages from year-end 2016.2019 that have contributed to the decline in total residential real estate loans.

The commercial lending segment increased $3,797,Also decreasing were consumer loan balances, which were down $3,273, or 1.2%2.3%, from year-end 2016, which came mostly from the commercial and industrial2019, finishing at $137,089. This change was primarily impacted by a decline in automobile loan portfolio, which increased $2,961, or 2.9%,balances from year-end 2016.  The increase was impacted by loan originations from the West Virginia market area during the first quarter of 2017.  Commercial and industrial loans consist of loans to corporate borrowers primarily in small to mid-sized industrial and commercial companies that include service, retail and wholesale merchants.  Collateral securing these loans includes equipment, inventory, and stock.

The commercial real estate loan segment comprises the largest portion of the Company's total commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2017, representing 67.5%.  At September 30, 2017, commercial real estate loans totaled $214,843, which were comparable to the $214,007 in commercial real estate loans at year-end 2016.  Larger payoffs caused owner-occupied loans to decrease $5,080, or 6.5%, from year-end 2016, while a higher number of one- to four-family residential homes completed their building phase, causing construction loans to decrease $3,518, or 7.7%, from year-end 2016.  Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in loan originations causing nonowner-occupied loan balances to grow by $9,434, or 10.4%, from year-end 2016. While management believes lending opportunities exist in the Company's markets, future commercial lending activities will depend upon economic and related conditions, such as general demand for loans in the Company's primary markets, interest rates offered by the Company, the effects of competitive pressure and normal underwriting considerations.  Management will continue to place emphasis on its commercial lending, which generally yields a higher return on investment as compared to other types of loans.

Consumer loan balances at September 30, 2017 represented an increase of $7,037, or 5.2%, from year-end 2016.  The increase was largely due to the Company's automobile loan segment, which grew by $8,227, or 13.8%, from year-end 2016.2019.  Automobile loans represent the Company'sCompany’s largest consumer loan segment at 48.1%45.0% of total consumer loans.  The Company continues to target more auto dealers within its market areas and offer interest rates that are more competitive with local banks.  Growth in automobile loans was partially offset by decreases in other consumer loans, which were down 3.0%.  The Company will continue to monitorattempt to increase its auto lending segment while maintaining strict loan underwriting processes to limit future loss exposure.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company established a $7,313an $8,729 allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, which was a decreaserepresents an increase from the $7,699$6,272 allowance at year-end 2016.2019. The allowance was impacted by an increase of $2,410 in general allocations from year-end 2019. As part of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the allowance for loan losses, management will review various factors that directly impact the general allocation needs of the allowance, which include:  historical loan losses, loan delinquency levels, local economic conditions and unemployment rates, criticized/classified asset coverage levels and loan loss recoveries.  During the first quarter of 2020, the Company added a decreasenew risk factor to the evaluation of $2,741the allowance for loan losses pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company had not yet experienced any charge-offs related to COVID-19 at March 31, 2020, management determined the changes in economic conditions resulting from increases in unemployment would produce higher anticipated losses as a result of COVID-19. Given that the economic scenarios had deteriorated significantly since the pandemic was declared in early March, it was determined the credit risk in the loan portfolio had increased, resulting in the need for an additional reserve for credit loss.  As a result, the general reserve allocation related to COVID-19 totaled $1,942, which had a corresponding impact to provision expense during the first quarter of 2020.

Excluding the risk factors from COVID-19, the Company also experienced increases in general allocations from its historical loan loss factor, which grew from 0.23% at year-end 2019 to 0.28% at March 31, 2020.  Increases also came from higher unemployment rates within the Company’s market areas, as well as lower annualized loan recoveries at March 31, 2020 compared to year-end 2019. The impact from these risk factors were partially offset by a lower classified asset risk factor from year-end 2019, impacted by various commercial loan upgrades as a result of improvements in the financial performance of certain borrowers’ ability to repay their loans.  This contributed to lower classified assets from year-end 2019, particularly within the commercial nonowner-occupied and commercial and industrial loan segments. Furthermore, the Company’s delinquency levels remained relatively stable from year-end 2019, with nonperforming loans to total loans of 1.31% at March 31, 2020 compared to 1.30% at December 31, 2019, and lower nonperforming assets to total assets of 1.01% at March 31, 2020 compared to 1.04% at year-end 2019.

The Company also experienced an increase in specific allocations from $807 at year-end 2016.2019 to $854 at March 31, 2020.  Specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses identify loan impairment by measuring fair value of the underlying collateral and the present value of estimated future cash flows. When re-evaluating the impaired loan balances to their corresponding collateral values at September 30, 2017, it was determined that a commercial real estate loan relationship was no longer impaired and no longer collateral dependent due to the borrower's financial performance improvement.  This resultedThe change in the removal of that borrower's specific allocation of $1,681 that had previously been identified as impairment. Further contributing to lower specific reserves during the first nine months of 2017 were the charge-offs of several collateral dependent specific allocations.  Total charge-offs of $612 in commercial real estate loans and $399 infrom year-end 2019 to March 31, 2020 was related to one commercial and industrial loans were recorded as a result of asset impairment.  However, these specific reserves had already been allocated for prior to 2017, which resulted in no corresponding provision expense impact in 2017. loan borrower.

Partially offsetting the decrease in specific allocations was an increase in the Company's general allocations of the allowance for loan losses from year-end 2016.  As part of the Company's quarterly analysis of the allowance for loan losses, management reviewed various factors that directly impact the general allocation need of the allowance, which include:  historical loan losses, loan delinquency levels, local economic conditions and unemployment rates, criticized/classified asset coverage levels and loan loss recoveries. The Company maintained troubled loans at comparable levels to year-end 2016, which, when combined with  a 5.9% growth in total loans, caused the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans to decrease from 1.26% at December 31, 2016 to 1.20% at September 30, 2017.  Comparable levels of nonperforming assets combined with a 6.8% growth in total assets contributed to a decrease in the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets, finishing at 1.13% at September 30, 2017, compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2016.  General risks in the portfolio were also positively impacted by lower impaired loans at September 30, 2017, which decreased $5,028, or 22.1%, from year-end 2016.  However, it was the addition of new risk factors during the first quarter of 2017 that caused the general allocation component of the allowance for loan losses to increase $2,355, or 49.9%, from year-end 2016.  During the first quarter of 2017, the Company continued to experience lower historical loan loss factors, which prompted management to evaluate the exposure to losses incurred during an economic downturn.  Based on historical losses incurred outside the Company's lookback period, management determined it would be necessary to include an economic risk factor to add general reserves for losses based upon the difference in the Company's current historical loss factors and risks in the portfolio.  Furthermore, management evaluated recent changes in loan underwriting standards, which may expose the loan portfolio to additional credit risk.  As a result, an economic risk factor was added, which contributed to additional general reserves. 
The Company'sCompany’s allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio finished at 0.94%1.13% at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 1.05%0.81% at year-end 2016.2019.  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 was adequate and reflected probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.  There can be no assurance, however, that adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be required in the future.  Changes in the circumstances of particular borrowers, as well as adverse developments in the economy, particularly with the COVID-19 pandemic, are factors that could change, and make adjustments tocause further increases in the required allowance for loan losses necessary.and require additional provision expense. Asset quality will continue to remain a key focus, as management continues to stress not just loan growth, but quality in loan underwriting as well.

Deposits
Deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds used by the Company to meet obligations for depositor withdrawals, to fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing operations.  Total deposits at September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 increased $58,729,$24,408, or 7.4%3.0%, from year-end 2016.2019.  This deposit growthchange in deposits came primarily from interest-bearing deposit balances, which increased $35,127,were up by $33,753, or 6.1%5.6%, from year-end 2016.  While the Company's preference is to fund earning asset demand with retail core2019, while noninterest-bearing deposits the use of wholesale deposits has been utilized to help satisfy earning asset growth.  With market rates remaining at historically low levels, the Company considers wholesale deposits to be a cost-effective funding source to help manage the growing demand for loans.  As a result, wholesale deposits contributed $21,688 to the growthdecreased $9,345, or 4.2%, from year-end 2019.
The increase in interest-bearing deposits came mostly from year-end 2016.
Interest-bearing deposit growth was impacted byhigher interest-bearing NOW account balances from year-end 2019, which increased $16,061,$20,476, or 10.4%, during the first nine months of 2017 as compared to year-end 2016.12.9%. This increase was largely driven by growth inhigher municipal NOW products. Interest-bearingproduct balances, particularly within the Gallia County, Ohio and Mason County, WV market areas. Time deposit growthbalances also came from money market account balances, which increased $2,645,$6,155, or 2.0%2.9%, from year-end 2016, largely2019, as a result of consumer preference for 1-2 year certificates of deposit (“CDs”). Money market balances also grew from brokered money market deposits partially offsetyear-end 2019 by declines$4,478, or 3.4%, primarily from a shift in the Company's Market Watch account balances.  Growth inconsumer preference to more competitive, higher-costing deposit accounts. The remaining interest-bearing deposits was further impacted by a $2,699, or 2.8%, increase inwere up $2,644 from year-end 2019, primarily from higher statement savings account balances from year-end 2016.balances.
32

During the first nine months of 2017, time deposits increased $12,853, or 6.8%, from year-end 2016. This was largely driven by the Company's use of wholesale funding, which saw its brokered CD's increase by $11,648, or 48.4%, from year-end 2016.  Retail time deposits have increased just 0.7% from year-end 2016.  Based on the minimal spread between a short-term CD rate and a statement savings rate, many customers choose to invest balances into a more liquid product, perhaps hoping for rising ratesThe decrease in the near future. This change in retail time deposits from year-end 2016 fits within management's strategy of focusing on more "core" deposit balances, while utilizing wholesale deposit sources as needed.
Also contributing to growth in deposits was the Company's noninterest-bearing deposits which increased $23,602, or 11.3%, from year-end 2016.  This growth was largely impacted by the Company's business checking account balances, which grew $17,125, or 15.3%, from year-end 2016.  Business checking activity continues to be impacted by the seasonal ERC/ERD tax refund processing that occurs primarily during the first four months of the year.  The Company facilitates a significant volume of tax items within several business checking accounts during this seasonal period, which resulted in over $4 million of retained funds.  Growth in the Company's business checking accounts also came mostly from the Mason County, West Virginia market area, increasing over $9 million from year-end 2016.  Noninterest deposits were also impacted by growth in incentive basedCompany’s business checking account balances from year-end 2016.2019.
While facing increased competition for deposits in its market areas, the Company will continue to emphasize growth and retention in its core deposit relationships during the remainder of 2017,2020, reflecting the Company'sCompany’s efforts to reduce its reliance on higher cost funding and improvingimprove net interest income.
Other Borrowed Funds
Other borrowed funds were $36,775$32,459 at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, a decrease of $310,$1,532, or 0.8%4.5%, from year-end 2016.2019. The decrease was duerelated primarily to the maturity repayment of a $3,000 advanceprincipal repayments applied to various FHLB advances during the third quarterfirst three months of 2017.2020. While deposits continue to be the primary source of funding for growth in earning assets, management will continue to utilize Federal Home Loan BankFHLB advances and promissory notes to help manage interest rate sensitivity and liquidity.
Shareholders'Shareholders’ Equity
The Company maintains a capital level that exceeds regulatory requirements as a margin of safety for its depositors. At September 30, 2017, the Bank's capital exceeded the minimum requirements to be deemed "well capitalized" under applicable prompt corrective action regulations. Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 2017 of $109,962March 31, 2020 increased $5,434,$2,317, or 5.2%1.8%, to finish at $130,496, as compared to $104,528$128,179 at December 31, 2016.

Comparison of Results of Operations
forFor the Three and Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 20162019

The following discussion focuses, in more detail, on the consolidated results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 compared to the same periodperiods in 2016.2019. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in this Form 10‑Q.
Net Interest Income
The most significant portion of the Company's revenue, net interest income, results from properly managing the spread between interest income on earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. During the third quarter of 2017,three months ended March 31, 2020, net interest income increased $1,283,decreased $1,383, or 14.3%12.1%, as compared to the third quarter of 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,same period in 2019. Net interest income was negatively impacted by lower loan fees, market rate decreases causing net interest income also increased $4,913, or 18.7%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The improvement came primarily from the acquisition of Milton Bank during the third quarter of 2016, which contributed to higher interest income on acquiredmargin compression, and a decrease in average earning assets partially offset by interest expense on acquired interest-bearing deposits.  In total, the Company benefited from $3,495 in net interest income generated by the Milton Bank acquisition.  Further contributions to net interest income came from higher interest income on interest-bearing deposits with banks as a result of short-term rate increases.assets.

Total interest and fee income recognized on the Company'sCompany’s earning assets increased $1,493,decreased $1,273, or 15.2%9.7%, during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.  The quarterly decrease was impacted by interest and fees on loans, which contributed to a year-to-date increase of $5,537,decreased $1,039, or 19.4%8.7%, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.  While2019. As previously mentioned, beginning in 2020, the Company generatedchanged its business model for Loan Central’s assessment of fees from assessing tax refund advance loan growth primarily throughfees to now assessing tax preparation fees. This fundamental change in the Milton Bank merger, there were already trendsfee structure was necessary to comply with new Ohio lending regulations. As a result, tax refund advance loan fees for the first quarter of loan origination improvement making a positive impact2020 decreased $709 from the same period last year.  Furthermore, average loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to loan earnings.  Warehouse lending balances are up $15,155the quarter ended March 31, 2020 decreased $11,040, or 1.4%, while the interest rate yield on loans decreased from a year ago at September 30, 2016.6.29% to 5.78% during the same periods.  The West Virginia market areas have been successfuldecrease in generating over $18 million inaverage quarterly loans came mostly from a year ago at September 30, 2016.  The Athens, Ohio loan production office has generated over $14 million in commercial and residential real estate loans from a year ago at September 30, 2016.  Loan growth has also been improving within the automobile segment, as well as the commercial and industrialinstallment loan segment,segments of the loan portfolio.  Loan yields were impacted by interest rate reductions from the Federal Reserve Bank. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank took aggressive action by lowering the federal funds rate by 150 basis points to a target range of 0 to 0.25% due to concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on the economy. Prior to this, the Federal Reserve Bank had lowered the federal funds rate by 75 basis points during the second half of 2019.  This trend of decreasing market rates led to lower yields on the Company’s loan participationsportfolio and loanslower loan interest revenue.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, interest income from interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $157, or 49.2%, when compared to statesthe same period in 2019.  These changes in interest revenue come primarily from the Company’s interest-bearing Federal Reserve Bank clearing account.  The quarterly decrease in interest income was due to decreases in both the interest rate and political subdivisions from a year ago. With the merger and improved loan production, the Company's loan income increased $1,404,average balance of this interest-bearing clearing account.  Average Federal Reserve Bank deposit balances were down $5,467, or 15.5%10.9%, during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, which contributed to a year-to-date increase of $5,263, or 20.1%,2020, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, total other interest income increased $21, or 31.3%, and $140, or 41.7%, as compared to the same periods in 2016, respectively.2019. The increases were primarily due to higher interest revenue recorded from the Company's interest-bearing Federal Reserve clearing account.  The Company continues to utilize its Federal Reserve clearing account to manage seasonal tax refund deposits and fund earning asset growth.  This interest-bearing account carried an interest rate of 0.50% during most of 2016.  In December 2016,tied to the Federal Reserve increased short-term rates by 25 basis points, and then again in bothBank clearing account was 0.25% at March and June 2017 by another 25 basis points each.  These short-term rate adjustments have increased the Federal Reserve clearing account's interest rate from 0.50% of a year ago31, 2020 compared to 1.25%.  The timing of the December 2016 and2.25% at March 2017 rate adjustments benefited the Company, as it entered into the first quarter of 2017 experiencing significant levels of excess funds impacted by the large volume of ERC/ERD transactions that was maintained within the Federal Reserve clearing account.  Since the first quarter of 2017, these excess funds have been decreasing as a result of exiting the tax season, as well as funding earning asset growth.  Even though this year's Federal Reserve clearing average balance has decreased 19.4%, the interest income remains up over the prior year due to the short-term rate increases.31, 2019.

Total interest expense incurred on the Company'sCompany’s interest-bearing liabilities during the third quarter of 2017 increased $210,$110, or 25.0%, and increased $624, or 28.2%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016.  The increases were primarily from the Milton Bank acquired deposits that generated more interest expense.  However, the Company's interest expense continues to be minimized by a sustained low-rate environment that has impacted the repricings of various Bank deposit products, including certain interest-bearing demand accounts.  The low-rate environment has also limited the impact of the Company's use of wholesale deposits during 2017.  As a result, there has been minimal change to the weighted average cost of the Company's core deposits, which finished at 0.26% at September 30, 2017, as compared to 0.23% at September 30, 2016. The Company continues to utilize more of its lower cost, core deposit funding sources to further reduce interest expense.  In addition, over 60% of the acquired Milton Bank deposits consisted of core deposit funding sources.  As a result, the Company's average interest- and non-interest bearing core deposits increased $79,665, or 13.7%, while the average balances of higher costing time deposits increased $23,005, or 14.3%6.6%, during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The upward movement in interest expense was primarily from interest expense on deposits, particularly time deposits and money market accounts. The Company’s average interest-bearing deposits were relatively stable at $605,828 and $605,474 during the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.  In December 2019, the Company sold its Mount Sterling and New Holland branches that were previously acquired as part of the merger with Milton Bancorp, Inc. in 2016.  Excluding the impact of the branch sale, average interest-bearing deposits would show an increase of $18,559, or 3.2%, during the first quarter of 2020 over the same period in 2019.   This growth came mostly from money market, NOW and time deposit balances.  As previously discussed, short-term market rates have significantly decreased since the second half of 2019 causing asset yields to decrease.  However, there is a lagging effect to the impact that decreasing market rates are having on reducing deposit expense.  As CD rates have repriced downward, the Company will benefit in lower interest expense only to the extent that new CDs at lower rates are issued. The minimal change in average marketconsumer demand for CDs has eased since interest rates began to decrease in the second half of 2019, which has limited opportunities for lower interest expense. Furthermore, other interest-bearing deposits were already at or near their interest rate floors, which has also limited the Company’s ability to reduce deposit costs during the first quarter of 2020. The Company also continues to experience a composition shift to a higher-costing money market account that has generated more interest expense. The account offers a more competitive rate and is at a higher interest rate than other money market account products.  The Company’s use of higher-costing time deposits combined with the continued emphasis on utilizing lower costing deposit balances havecomposition shift to higher-costing money market deposits caused the Company'sCompany’s total weighted average costs on interest-bearing deposits to increase by only 410 basis points from 0.42%0.90% at September 30, 2016March 31, 2019 to 0.46%1.00% at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020. The higher average costs associated with time deposits and the new competitive money market account contributed to over 86% of the interest expense increase during the first three months of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.

During 2017, the Company's

The Company’s net interest margin results improved overis defined as fully tax-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets.  During 2020, the prior year, finishing at 4.52% during the thirdCompany’s first quarter of 2017, as compared to 4.29% during the third quarter of 2016.  The net interest margin finished at 4.34%, compared to 2019’s first quarter net interest margin of 4.89%. The decrease in margin was largely impacted by the significant decrease in tax refund anticipation loan fees, which lowered the margin by 30 basis points in the first quarter of 2020. Margin compression was also improvedinfluenced by decreasing market rates that contributed to 4.50%lower earning asset yields during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020.  Interest rates were reduced in the first quarter of 2020 primarily by the growing concern of the COVID-19 pandemic that has had a significant impact to a weakening economy.  Furthermore, the Company’s deposit costs remain higher in relation to an increased composition of higher-costing deposits, such as comparedtime deposits and money market accounts. This, along with the lagging effect of deposit costs benefiting from decreasing market rates, has further contributed to 4.34%a lower margin during the first nine monthsquarter of 2016.  This improvement was due to a 14.5% increase in average earning assets combined with a higher deposit mix of lower-costing core deposits and a sustained low rate environment that has helped to minimize interest expense.2020. The Company'sCompany’s primary focus is to invest its funds into higher yielding assets, particularly loans, as opportunities arise. However, if loan balances do not continue to expand and remain a larger component of overall earning assets, the Company will face pressure within its net interest income and margin improvement.

Provision for Loan Losses
DuringFor the thirdthree months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s provision expense increased $1,469, or 61.8%, over the same period in 2019.  As previously discussed, the Company’s general reserves during the first quarter of 2017,2020 were significantly impacted by a $1,942 allocation of the Company experiencedallowance for loan losses as a decreaseresult of the expected financial impact of COVID-19 on its customers. The allocation resulted in a corresponding entry to provision expenseexpense.  The impact from this new risk factor was partially offset by the release of $107, or 6.3%, as comparedgeneral reserves associated with lower classified assets.  Furthermore, net charge-offs on loans containing no specific allocation were down from the prior year, which helped to the third quarter of 2016. During the first nine months of 2017, the Company experienced a decrease in provision expense of $407, or 17.5%, as compared to the first nine months of 2016. The decreases in provision expense during both periods were primarily due to a $2,741 decrease in specific allocations, which was mostly due to one commercial real estate loan relationship.  As previously mentioned, the financial improvement of this commercial borrower contributed to the removal of $1,681 in specific allocations, which loweredreduce provision expense during the first nine months of 2017.  The benefit of lower specific reserves was partially offset by a $2,355 increase in general allocations from year-end 2016.  As previously mentioned, management further evaluated the risks associated with loan loss history and loan underwriting that resulted in additional risk factors being added to the allowance for loan loss determination during the first quarter of 2017. 

34


Net charge-offs increased $135 during the third quarter of 2017, and increased $868 during the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016.  The year-to-date increase was largely related to charge-offs of specific reserves for which allocations had been made prior to 2017, which resulted in specific reserve charge-offs of $1,011 during the first nine months of 2017.  Due to these allocations being made prior to 2017, there was no corresponding provision expense associated with these charge-offs that impacted the current year. As a result, net charge-offs for loans without specific reserves decreased $143 during the first nine months of 2017,2020, as compared to the same period in 2016.2019.

Future provisions to the allowance for loan losses will continue to be based on management'smanagement’s quarterly in-depth evaluation that is discussed in further detail under the caption "Critical“Critical Accounting Policies - Allowance for Loan Losses"Losses” within this Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $589, or 34.8%, whenMarch 31, 2020 totaled $4,442, as compared to $1,846 during the three months ended September 30, 2016.  NoninterestMarch 31, 2019. The key contributor to the quarterly improvement in noninterest revenue was from proceeds received in a litigation settlement with a third-party. During the first quarter of 2020, the Bank entered into a settlement agreement related to the previously disclosed litigation the Bank had filed against a third-party tax software product provider for breach of contract. Under the settlement agreement, the third-party paid a $2,000 settlement payment to the Bank, which was recorded as noninterest income.

Further growth in noninterest revenue came from tax preparation fee income.  As previously discussed, the Company changed its business model in 2020 for assessing fees related to tax refund advance loans. By charging for the tax preparation services, the Company recorded $615 in tax preparation fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $718, or 10.6%, when comparedfirst quarter of 2020.

Limiting noninterest revenue growth during the first quarter of 2020 were higher losses from the sale of OREO, which reduced noninterest earnings by $101.  This was primarily from an adjustment to the nine months ended September 30, 2016.The increase in quarterly noninterest revenue was largely due tofair value of one commercial OREO property during the Company's earnings from tax-free bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") investments. BOLI investments are maintained by the Company in association with various benefit plans, including deferred compensation plans, director retirement plans and supplemental retirement plans. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, the Company recorded $3,530 in anticipated cash proceeds related to four BOLI policies, which yielded net BOLI proceeds of $399 that was recorded to income. This amount contributed to the quarterly and year-to-date increase in BOLI and annuity asset income of $402 and $406, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016. 2020.

Further impacting growth inThe remaining noninterest income were the effects from the Milton Bank merger in the third quarter of 2016.  When compared to 2016,the Company benefited from $422 in additional noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, impacted by the inclusion of Milton Bank's customer deposit base.  The third quarter benefit from Milton Bank was much more comparable, providing $66 in additional noninterest income when compared to 2016.  The larger deposit base contributed to year-to-date improvements in debit and credit card interchange income and service charges on deposit accounts, whichcategories increased collectively by $803,$82, or 24.5%4.4%, during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the same period in 2016.  The volume of transactions utilizing the Company's2019.  This income growth came mostly from higher bank owned life insurance and annuity asset balances, as well as interchange income from growth in debit and credit card transactions. The Company has been successful in promoting the use of both debit and Jeanie Plus debit card continue to increase from a year ago, which are being impactedcredit cards by cash and merchandiseoffering incentives that promote customer use of electronic payments. 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company did not record any seasonal ERC/ERD fees,permit their users to redeem accumulated points for merchandise, as compared to $13 in fees during the same period in 2016.  This contributed to a decrease of $370, or 18.2%, in ERC/ERD fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,well as compared to the same periods in 2016.  In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Bank entered into a new agreement with a third-party tax refund product provider, which lowered the per-item fee associated with each refund facilitated.  As a result, the lower fee structure has caused tax processing revenues to be lower than the year before. Furthermore, the Company experienced a decrease in the number of ERC/ERD transactions that were facilitated.  As a result of ERC/ERD fee activity being mostly seasonal, a minimal amount of income is expected during the remainder of 2017.cash incentives.

The Company's remaining noninterest income categories were collectively up by $24, or 8.7%, during the third quarter of 2017, and down by $121, or 13.5%, during the first nine months of 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016. The year-to-date decreases were primarily due to higher losses on OREO.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 increased $394,2020 decreased $49, or 4.5%, and increased $3,903, or 15.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016.  The acquisition of Milton Bank contributed to an increase in most of the noninterest expense categories related to having a larger organization after the merger.  A significant contributor to noninterest expense was salaries and employee benefits, which increased by $1,398, or 9.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016.  Higher employee costs continue to be impacted by the addition of Milton Bank employees, as well as annual merit increases and higher health insurance costs.  However, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, salaries and employee benefits decreased $34, or 5.9%0.5%, as compared to the same period in 2016.  This was due to a $316 reduction in non-qualified defined benefit expenses associated with the restructuring of2019. The Company’s largest noninterest expense, salaries and accounting for post-retirementemployee benefits, of a former employee.

The Company also experienced increases in data processing expense, which increased $184,decreased $81, or 48.4%, during the third quarter of 2017, and increased $583, or 54.5%1.5%, during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.  Data processing charges grew as a result of higher transaction volume2019.  The decrease was primarily from the expense savings associated with debit and credit cards, as well as higher processing chargesa lower number of employees from the Company's Big Rewards customer incentive platform.sale of two branches in December 2019 and the voluntary severance program that was completed during the fourth quarter of 2019.  The Bank’s average full-time equivalent employee base at March 31, 2020 was 244 employees, down from an average full-time equivalent employee base of 265 employees at March 31, 2019. The impact of a lower employee base more than offset the expense increase associated with annual merit increases in the first quarter of 2020.

Other noninterest expense increased $400,Further impacting lower overhead costs were professional fees, which decreased $74, or 34.8%, during the third quarter of 2017, and increased $1,734, or 53.0%11.0%, during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.  The quarterly increase was driven by consulting expenses2019.  These decreases include lower litigation costs associated with revenue enhancement and efficiency improvement strategies.  The year-to-date increasethe Bank’s lawsuit against the third-party tax software product provider.  As previously discussed, a settlement was primarilyreached with the third-party during the first quarter of 2020, which contributed to lower legal costs.  Additionally, the Company incurred lower audit-related expenses during the first quarter of 2020.  This was related to fraud expensecosts from 2019 associated with the “expected loss” allowance model that was recorded in the second quarter of 2017.  At that time, the Company was made aware that the processing of four wire transfers associated with a single account relationshipprepared to adopt in May 2017 totaling $933 were fraudulently initiated.  After recovering a portion of the fraudulent wire costs and incurring some additional legal expense, the Company's net loss exposure at September 30, 2017 was $842.  Since the fraud event, the Company had been in contact with several insurance providers to determine whether or not existing insurance policies would cover all or part of the remaining losses.  Subsequent to the report date, the Company learned that its commercial insurance policy would cover $730 of the fraudulent wire expense.  This resulted in the collection of $730 in net insurance proceeds in October 2017, which will be recorded as a recovery during2020.  In the fourth quarter of 2017.
2019, it was announced this required accounting guidance would be delayed until 2023.

Overhead expense was further impacted by increases in professional fees,The Company also benefited from lower foreclosed asset costs, which were up $92,decreased $63, or 26.9%, during the third quarter of 2017, and up $318, or 31.2%59.4%, during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.  Both period increases were impacted by legal expense2019.  In addition to lower foreclosure costs, the Company also recovered $23 in delinquent insurance and real estate taxes associated with one commercial real estate borrower during the recovery efforts on loan deficiency balances.first quarter of 2020.

Partially offsetting decreases in overhead expensescosts were lower merger relatedhigher data processing expenses, which decreased $410 during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and decreased $744increased $64, or 12.0%, during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.  During2019.  Data processing expense in 2020 was largely impacted by the first quarter of 2016, the Company executed the merger agreementtransaction volume associated with Milton Bancorp.  The merger was eventually finalized on August 5, 2016.credit cards.  The Company anticipatesalso incurred website maintenance costs in 2020 to improve the remaining merger related expenses in 2017 to be minimal.quality of its internet-based technology.

The remaining noninterest expense categories increased $141,$105, or 9.3%, during the third quarter of 2017, and increased $614, or 14.3%3.9%, during the first nine monthsquarter of 2017,2020, as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.  The addition2019.  These increases were impacted mostly from incentive costs associated with promoting the use of Milton Bank contributed to demand deposit products, as well as the increasesuse of various noninterest expense areas that include software, buildingboth debit and equipment, customer incentives,credit cards with merchandise and intangible asset amortization.cash incentives.

Efficiency

The Company'sCompany’s efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income. The effects from provision expense are excluded from the efficiency ratio. Management continues to place emphasis on managing its balance sheet mix and interest rate sensitivity as well as developing more innovative ways to generate noninterest revenue. DuringComparing the quarterlyfirst quarters of 2020 and year-to-date periods ending September 30, 2017,2019, the Company was successfulCompany’s average loans decreased 1.4%, while loan yields decreased by 51 basis points.  This, combined with the $709 decrease in generating moretax refund advance loan fees, caused the Company’s total net interest income primarily due to higher average earning assets while minimizing funding costs.  The Company also realized additional earnings in the third quarter from $399 in BOLI proceeds combined with a $316 reduction in benefit expenses for a former employee.  These factors havedecrease by 12.1%. However, this was completely offset by a $2,596 increase in noninterest revenue, which was impacted by $2,000 in income from a litigation settlement and $615 in tax preparation fee income.  Furthermore, the negative effects fromseverance package offering and the sale of two branch offices in December 2019 contributed to lower tax processing fees, large fraudulent wireoverhead expense and higher personnel costs.  This has caused the level of net revenues to outpace overhead expenses during 2017.in 2020. As a result, the Company'sCompany’s efficiency numbers have improved, finishing at 72.3% and 72.5%number decreased (improved) to 65.4% during both the quarterly and year-to-date periodsperiod ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, as compared to 71.7% during the same period in 2019.

Provision for income taxes
The Company’s income tax provision decreased $16, or 16.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the 81.5%same period in 2019.  The change in tax expense corresponded directly to the change in associated taxable income during 2020 and 73.2% efficiency levels during the same periods in 2016.2019.

Capital Resources

BanksFederal regulators have classified and bank holding companies are subject to regulatorydefined capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  In addition, in order for a financial holding company to continue to engage in activities permitted only for financial holding companies, it must be "well capitalized".  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.  The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective forinto the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019.   Under the final rules, minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Company and the Bank. The rules include a new common equityfollowing components: (1) tier 1 capital, to risk-weighted assets ratiowhich includes tangible shareholders’ equity for common stock, qualifying preferred stock and certain qualifying hybrid instruments, and (2) tier 2 capital, which includes a portion of 4.5%the allowance for loan losses, certain qualifying long-term debt,  preferred stock and a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. The capital conservation buffer began to phase in on January 1, 2016 at 0.625%, and will be phased in over a four-year period, increasing by the same amount on each subsequent January 1, until fully phased-in on January 1, 2019.  Further, Basel III rules increased the minimum ratio ofhybrid instruments which do not qualify as tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets increased from 4.0% to 6.0% and all banks are now subject to a 4.0% minimum leverage ratio. The required total risk-based capital ratio was unchanged. Failure to maintain the required common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer will result in potential restrictions on a bank's ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees.capital.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalizedIn September 2019, consistent with Section 201 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and critically undercapitalized, althoughConsumer Protection Act, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule providing simplified capital requirements for certain community banking organizations (banks and holding companies). Under the rule, a qualifying community banking organization (“QCBO”) is eligible to opt into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) framework in lieu of the Basel III capital requirements if it has less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, limited amounts of certain trading assets and liabilities, limited amounts of off-balance sheet exposure and a leverage ratio greater than 9.0%. The new rule took effect January 1, 2020, and QCBOs were allowed to opt into the new CBLR framework in their call report for the first quarter of 2020.

A QCBO opting into the CBLR framework must maintain a CBLR of 9.0%, subject to a two quarter grace period to come back into compliance, provided that the QCBO maintains a leverage ratio of more than 8.0% during the grace period. A QCBO failing to satisfy these terms arerequirements must comply with the existing Basel III capital requirements as implemented by the banking regulators in July 2013.

The numerator of the CBLR is Tier 1 capital, as calculated under present rules. The denominator of the CBLR is the QCBO’s average assets, calculated in accordance with the QCBO’s Call Report instructions and less assets deducted from Tier 1 capital.

The Bank has opted into the CBLR, and will therefore not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval isbe required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized,comply with the Basel III capital distributions are limited, as is asset growthrequirements. As of March 31, 2020, the Bank’s CBLR was 11.65%, and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2017 and year-end 2016, the Bank metCompany’s CBLR was 12.82%.

Pursuant to the capital requirementsCARES Act, the federal banking regulators in April, 2020 issued interim final rules to be deemed well capitalized underset the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  The Company's capital also metCBLR at 8% beginning in the requirementssecond quarter of 2020 through the end of 2020. Beginning in 2021, the CBLR will increase to 8.5% for the Companycalendar year. Community banks will have until January 1, 2022 before the CBLR requirement will return to be deemed well capitalized9%.

Liquidity

Liquidity relates to the Company's ability to meet the cash demands and credit needs of its customers and is provided by the ability to readily convert assets to cash and raise funds in the marketplace. Total cash and cash equivalents, held to maturity securities maturing within one year and available for sale securities, totaling $157,036,$179,501, represented 15.4%17.3% of total assets at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2020. In addition, the FHLB offers advances to the Bank, which further enhances the Bank's ability to meet liquidity demands. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Bank could borrow an additional $146,529$110,295 from the FHLB, of which $80,000 could be used for short-term, cash management advances. Furthermore, the Bank has established a borrowing line with the Federal Reserve. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, this line had total availability of $52,433.$48,136. Lastly, the Bank also has the ability to purchase federal funds from a correspondent bank.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As discussed in Note 5 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk, the Company engages in certain off-balance sheet credit-related activities, including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which could require the Company to make cash payments in the event that specified future events occur. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. While these commitments are necessary to meet the financing needs of the Company'sCompany’s customers, many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total amount of commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies
The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note A to the financial statements in the Company's 2016Company’s 2019 Annual Report to Shareholders. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management views critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management currently views the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and business combinations to be a critical accounting policies.policy.

Allowance for loan losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management'smanagement’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans generally consist of loans with balances of $200 or more on nonaccrual status or nonperforming in nature. Loans for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructuringsTDRs and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length and reasons for the delay, the borrower'sborrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan'sloan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and most residential real estate, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosure. Troubled debt restructuringsTDRs are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan'sloan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuringTDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructuringsTDRs that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and impaired loans that are not individually reviewed for impairment and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent 3 years for the consumer and real estate portfolio segment and 5 years for the commercial portfolio segment. The total loan portfolio'sportfolio’s actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified: Commercial Real Estate, Commercial and Industrial, Residential Real Estate, and Consumer.

Commercial and industrial loans consist of borrowings for commercial purposes by individuals, corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships, and other business enterprises. Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by business assets such as equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, or any other asset excluding real estate and generally made to finance capital expenditures or operations. The Company'sCompany’s risk exposure is related to deterioration in the value of collateral securing the loan should foreclosure become necessary. Generally, business assets used or produced in operations do not maintain their value upon foreclosure, which may require the Company to write down the value significantly to sell.


36


Commercial real estate consists of nonfarm, nonresidential loans secured by owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied commercial real estate as well as commercial construction loans. An owner-occupied loan relates to a borrower purchased building or space for which the repayment of principal is dependent upon cash flows from the ongoing business operations conducted by the party, or an affiliate of the party, who owns the property. Owner-occupied loans that are dependent on cash flows from operations can be adversely affected by current market conditions for their product or service. A nonowner-occupied loan is a property loan for which the repayment of principal is dependent upon rental income associated with the property or the subsequent sale of the property. Nonowner-occupied loans that are dependent upon rental income are primarily impacted by local economic conditions which dictate occupancy rates and the amount of rent charged. Commercial construction loans consist of borrowings to purchase and develop raw land into one- to four-family residential properties. Construction loans are extended to individuals as well as corporations for the construction of an individual or multiple properties and are secured by raw land and the subsequent improvements. Repayment of the loans to real estate developers is dependent upon the sale of properties to third parties in a timely fashion upon completion. Should there be delays in construction or a downturn in the market for those properties, there may be significant erosion in value which may be absorbed by the Company.

Residential real estate loans consist of loans to individuals for the purchase of one- to four-family primary residences with repayment primarily through wage or other income sources of the individual borrower. The Company'sCompany’s loss exposure to these loans is dependent on local market conditions for residential properties as loan amounts are determined, in part, by the fair value of the property at origination.

Consumer loans are comprised of loans to individuals secured by automobiles, open-end home equity loans and other loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures, both secured and unsecured. These loans typically have maturities of 6 years or less with repayment dependent on individual wages and income. The risk of loss on consumer loans is elevated as the collateral securing these loans, if any, rapidly depreciate in value or may be worthless and/or difficult to locate if repossession is necessary. During the last several years, one of the most significant portions of the Company'sCompany’s net loan charge-offs have been from consumer loans. Nevertheless, the Company has allocated the highest percentage of its allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans to the other identified loan portfolio segments due to the larger dollar balances and inherent risk associated with such portfolios.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree.  Acquisition related transaction costs are expensed and included in other operational result. When a business is acquired, the Company assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.  We are required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed at their fair value. These often involve estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques that may include estimates of attrition, inflation, asset growth rates, or other relevant factors. In addition, the determination of the useful lives over which an intangible asset will be amortized is subjective. Under FASB ASC 350 (SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets), goodwill and indefinite-lived assets recorded must be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, as well as on an interim basis if events or changes indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss must be recognized for any excess of carrying value over fair value of the goodwill or the indefinite-lived intangible asset.

39


Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains a diversified credit portfolio, with residential real estate loans currently comprising the most significant portion. Credit risk is primarily subject to loans made to businesses and individuals in southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia. Management believes this risk to be general in nature, as there are no material concentrations of loans to any industry or consumer group. To the extent possible, the Company diversifies its loan portfolio to limit credit risk by avoiding industry concentrations.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's goal for interest rate sensitivity management is to maintain a balance between steady net interest income growth and the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure of the Company's financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates.  Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability, but excessive levels of IRR can threaten the Company's earnings and capital.
The Company evaluates IRR through the use of an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to changing interest rates.  The modeling process starts with a base case simulation, which assumes a static balance sheet and flat interest rates.  The base case scenario is compared to rising and falling interest rate scenarios assuming a parallel shift in all interest rates.  Comparisons of net interest income and net income fluctuations from the flat rate scenario illustrate the risks associated with the current balance sheet structure.Not applicable.

The Company's Asset/Liability Committee monitors and manages IRR within Board approved policy limits.  The current IRR policy limits anticipated changes in net interest income to an instantaneous increase or decrease in market interest rates over a 12 month horizon to +/- 5% for a 100 basis point rate shock, +/- 7.5% for a 200 basis point rate shock and +/- 10% for a 300 basis point rate shock.  Based on the level of interest rates, management did not test interest rates down 200 or 300 basis points.

The following table presents the Company's estimated net interest income sensitivity:

 
Change in Interest Rates
        in Basis Points       
 
September 30, 2017
Percentage Change in
  Net Interest Income  
 
December 31, 2016
Percentage Change in
  Net Interest Income  
+300 .93%   (.39%)
+200 .81% (.05%)
+100 .50% .09%
-100 (1.54%) (1.72%)

The estimated percentage change in net interest income due to a change in interest rates was within the policy guidelines established by the Board.  With the historical low interest rate environment, management generally has been focused on limiting the duration of assets, while trying to extend the duration of our funding sources to the extent customer preferences will permit the Company to do so.  At September 30, 2017, the interest rate risk profile reflects a modest asset sensitive position, which produces higher net interest income due to an increase in interest rates.  In a declining rate environment, net interest income is impacted by the interest rate on many deposit accounts not being able to adjust downward.  With interest rates so low, deposit accounts are perceived to be at or near an interest rate floor.  As a result, net interest income decreases in a declining interest rate environment.  Overall, management is comfortable with the current interest rate risk profile which reflects minimal exposure to interest rate changes.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer) of Ohio Valley, Ohio Valley'sValley’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of Ohio Valley'sValley’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.  Based on that evaluation, Ohio Valley's Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Ohio Valley's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Ohio Valley in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.March 31, 2020. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Ohio Valley in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Ohio Valley'sValley’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Based on that evaluation, Ohio Valley’s Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Ohio Valley’s disclosure controls and procedures
 were not effective as of March 31, 2020 due to a material weakness described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (our “2019 Form 10-K”).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in Ohio Valley'sBased on the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (as definedas of December 31, 2019, as described in Rule 13a‑15(f) underour 2019 Form 10-K, management concluded that Ohio Valley did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 due to the Exchange Act)effectiveness of the Company’s control over appropriate monitoring of loans through the subsequent events period, including not timely evaluating information received after the fiscal year end that occurredaffected the appropriateness of loan grades and impairment classification used in the allowance for loan losses estimate.. A material weakness is a deficiency in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner. With regard to the material weakness, our remediation efforts began during Ohio Valley's fiscalthe quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020. We are changing how certain controls are designed, performed and documented. Our credit administration department, in conjunction with an expanded group of the management team, have heightened the monitoring of troubled credits during the subsequent event period up and until the report filing date.This included training around timely identifying and communicating subsequent events and increasing the management staff involved with monitoring the control around subsequent events that may impact the assessment of loan grades or impairment valuations.We must now demonstrate the effectiveness of these changes with an appropriate amount of consistency and for a sufficient period of time to conclude that the control is functioning properly. Other than these changes, there were no significant changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 in Ohio Valley’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Ohio Valley'sValley’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

You should carefully considerIn addition to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1.A. "Risk Factors"“Risk Factors” in Ohio Valley'sValley’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with2019, in the Securitiesfirst quarter of 2020 we identified the following additional risk factor:

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and Exchange Commission.  Thesefinancial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating extensive disruptions to the global economy and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects, including quarantines, travel bans, shelter-in-place orders, closures of businesses and schools, fiscal stimulus and legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. While the scope, duration and full effects of the pandemic are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress or recession, many of the risk factors identified in our Form 10-K could be significantly impacted and such effects could have a material adverse impact on us in a number of ways related to credit, collateral, capital, customer demand, funding, liquidity, operations, interest rate risk, human capital and self-insurance, as described in more detail below.

Credit Risk:  Our risks of timely loan repayment and the value of collateral supporting the loans are affected by the strength of our borrowers’ businesses. Concern about the spread of COVID-19 has caused and is likely to continue to cause business shutdowns, limitations on commercial activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment and commercial property vacancy rates, reduced profitability and ability for property owners to make mortgage payments and overall economic and financial market instability, all of which may cause our customers to be unable to make scheduled loan payments. Many customers have requested and have been granted hardship relief in the form of payment deferrals and modifications as well as loans through the CARES Act. If customers are unable to repay their loans in a timely manner following hardship relief, it could result in a deterioration of asset quality, an increase in delinquency, reversal of accrued interest income, and an increase in credit losses. If the effects of COVID-19 result in widespread and sustained repayment shortfalls on loans in our portfolio, we could incur significant delinquencies, foreclosures and credit losses, particularly if the available collateral is insufficient to cover our exposure. Significant loan losses could adversely impact the Bank’s capital ratios, which could prevent the Bank from paying dividends to us, which dividends – along with cash on hand – are used by us to service our debt obligations. The future effects of COVID-19 on economic activity could negatively affect the collateral values associated with our existing loans, our ability to liquidate the real estate collateral securing our residential and commercial real estate loans, our ability to maintain loan origination volume and to obtain additional financing, the future demand for or profitability of our lending and services and the financial condition and credit risk of our customers. Further, in the event of delinquencies, regulatory changes and policies designed to protect borrowers may slow or prevent us from making our business decisions or may result in a delay in our taking certain remediation actions, such as foreclosure. In addition, we have unfunded commitments to extend credit to customers. During a challenging economic environment like now, our customers are more dependent on our credit commitments and increased borrowings under these commitments could adversely impact our liquidity.



38


Strategic Risk: Our success may be affected by a variety of external factors that may affect the price or marketability of our products and services, changes in interest rates or sentiment of our deposit customers that may increase our funding costs, reduced demand for our financial products due to economic conditions and the various response of governmental and nongovernmental authorities. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. Furthermore, many of the governmental actions have been directed toward curtailing household and business activity to contain COVID-19. In the Company’s core market areas, the local governments have acted to temporarily close or restrict the operations of most businesses. The future effects of COVID-19 on economic activity could negatively affect the future banking products we provide, including a decline in the origination of loans.

Operational Risk:  Current and future restrictions on how we operate our bank offices and operational departments could limit our ability to meet customer service expectations and have a material adverse effect on our operations. Key employees could become sick from COVID-19. We rely on business processes and bank office activity that largely depend on people and technology, including access to information technology systems as well as information, applications, payment systems and other services provided by third parties. In response to COVID-19, we have modified our business practices with a portion of our employees working remotely from their homes to have our operations uninterrupted as much as possible. Further, technology in employees’ homes may not be as robust as in our offices and could cause the networks, information systems, applications and other tools available to employees to be more limited or less reliable than in our offices. The continuation of these work-from-home measures also introduces additional operational risk, including increased cybersecurity risk. These cyber risks include increased phishing, malware and other cybersecurity attacks, vulnerability to disruptions of our information technology infrastructure and telecommunications systems for remote operations, increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of confidential information, limited ability to restore the systems in the event of a systems failure or interruption, greater risk of a security breach resulting in destruction or misuse of valuable information and potential impairment of our ability to perform critical functions, including wiring funds, all of which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations and the operations of any impacted customers.

Moreover, we rely on many third parties in our business operations, including the appraiser(s) of the real property collateral, vendors that supply essential services such as loan servicers, providers of financial information, systems and analytical tools and providers of electronic payment and settlement systems, and local and federal government agencies, offices and courthouses. In light of the developing measures responding to the pandemic, many of these entities may limit the availability and access of their services. If the third-party service providers continue to have limited capacities for a prolonged period or if additional limitations or potential disruptions in these services materialize, it may negatively affect our operations.

Interest Rate Risk: Our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability could be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from COVID-19. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0 to 0.25% , citing concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on markets and stress in the energy sector. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions would likely increase our funding costs and negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Higher income volatility from changes in interest rates and spreads to benchmark indices could cause a loss of future net interest income and a decrease in current fair market values of our assets. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our net income, operating results and financial condition.

Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of COVID-19’s effects on our business, operations or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work-from-home program, third-party providers’ ability to support our operation and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. The uncertain future development of this crisis could materially and adversely affect the Company'sour business, operations, operating results, financial condition, or future results.  The risk factors described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company.  Additional risksliquidity and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and/or operating results.  Moreover, the Company undertakes no obligation and disclaims any intention to publish revised information or updates to forward looking statements contained in such risk factors or in any other statement made at any time by any director, officer, employee or other representative of the Company unless and until any such revisions or updates are expressly required to be disclosed by applicable securities laws or regulations.capital levels.
