Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016(Unaudited)

Note 1:

Note 1:         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of United Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) at September 30, 2017,2021, and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 20162020 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 20162020 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Bancorp, Inc. (“United” or “the Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Unified Bank. Prior to October 10, 2017 The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary was The Citizens Savings Bank of Martins Ferry, Ohio (“the Bank” or “Citizens”). The Bank operated two divisions, The Community Bank, a division of The Citizens Savings Bank and The Citizens Bank, a division of The Citizens Savings Bank. As of October 10, 2017 the name of the Citizens Savings Bank was changed to Unified Bank. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations

The Company’s revenues, operating income and assets are almost exclusively derived from banking. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. Customers of Unified Bank are mainly located in Athens, Belmont, Carroll, Fairfield, Harrison, Jefferson and Tuscarawas Counties and the surrounding localities in northeastern, east-central and southeastern Ohio and include a wide range of individuals, businesses and other organizations. Unified Bank conducts its business through its main office in Martins Ferry, Ohio and branches in Amesville, Bridgeport, Colerain, Dellroy, Dillonvale, Dover, Glouster, Jewett, Lancaster Downtown, Lancaster East, Nelsonville, New Philadelphia, Powhatan, St. Clairsville East, St. Clairsville West, Sherrodsville, Strasburg, Tiltonsville, Ohio and Tiltonsville, Ohio. Unified Bank also operates a Loan Production office in Wheeling,Moudsville, West Virginia.

The Company’s primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate and are not considered “sub prime” type loans. The targeted lending areas of our Bank operations encompass four separate metropolitan areas, minimizing the risk to changes in economic conditions in the communities housing the Company’s branch locations.

Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Real estate loans are secured by both residential and commercial real estate. Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Company can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary and fiscal policies, that are outside of management’s control.

Revenue Recognition

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

(Unaudited)

The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, investment securities, as well as revenue related to our mortgage banking activities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures.

Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in our income statements as components of non-interest income are as follows:

Service charges on deposit accounts - these represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed (such as a wire transfer). Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.

Use of Estimates

To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoffs are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan.

For all loan classes, the accrual of interest is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. For all loan classes, the entire balance of the loan is considered past due if the minimum payment contractually required to be paid is not received by the contractual due date. For all loan classes, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral. Consistent with regulatory guidance, charge-offs on all loan segments are taken when specific loans, or portions thereof, are considered uncollectible. The Company’s policy is to promptly charge these loans off in the period the uncollectible loss is reasonably determined.

For all loan portfolio segments except residential and consumer loans, the Company promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral.

The Company charges-off residential and consumer loans when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Company adheres to timeframes established by applicable regulatory guidance which provides for the charge-down of 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value less costs to sell when the loan is 120 days past due, charge-off of unsecured open-end loans when the loan is 120 days past due, and charge down to the net realizable value when other secured loans are 120 days past due. Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged off.

For all classes, all interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off are reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recoverycost- recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. The Company requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than six months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status.

United Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

When cash payments are received on impaired loans in each loan class, the Company records the payment as interest income unless collection of the remaining recorded principal amount is doubtful, at which time payments are used to reduce the principal balance of the loan. Troubled debt restructured loans recognize interest income on an accrual basis at the renegotiated rate if the loan is in compliance with the modified terms, no principal reduction has been granted and the loan has demonstrated the ability to perform in accordance with the renegotiated terms for a period of at least six months.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience by segment. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the prior threefive years.Management believes the threefive year historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment. Other adjustments (qualitative/environmental considerations) for each segment may be added to the allowance for each loan segment after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due based on the loan’s current payment status and the borrower’s financial condition including available sources of cash flows. 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 of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for non-homogenous type loans such as commercial, non-owner residential and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans where the Company utilizes the discounted cash flows to determine the level of impairment, the Company includes the entire change in the present value of cash flows as bad debt expense.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

The fair values of collateral dependent impaired loans are based on independent appraisals of the collateral. In general, the Company acquires an updated appraisal upon identification of impairment and annually thereafter for commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loans. If the most recent appraisal is over a year old, and a new appraisal is not performed, due to lack of comparable values or other reasons, the existing appraisal is utilized and discounted generally 10% -35%- 35% based on the age of the appraisal, condition of the subject property, and overall economic conditions. After determining the collateral value as described, the fair value is calculated based on the determined collateral value less selling expenses. The potential for outdated appraisal values is considered in our determination of the allowance for loan losses through our analysis of various trends and conditions including the local economy, trends in charge-offs and delinquencies, etc. and the related qualitative adjustments assigned by the Company.

Segments of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the segment’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

In the course of working with borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. In this scenario, the Company attempts to work-out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize collectability of the loan. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Company to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status and the restructuring of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two. If such efforts by the Company do not result in a satisfactory arrangement, the loan is referred to legal counsel, at which time foreclosure proceedings are initiated. At any time prior to a sale of the property at foreclosure, the Company may terminate foreclosure proceedings if the borrower is able to work-out a satisfactory payment plan.

It is the Company’s policy to have any restructured loans which are on nonaccrual status prior to being restructured remain on nonaccrual status until six months of satisfactory borrower performance at which time management would consider its return to accrual status. If a loan was accruing at the time of
restructuring, the Company reviews the loan to determine if it is appropriate to continue the accrual of interest on the restructured loan.

With regard to determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses, trouble debt restructured loans are considered to be impaired. As a result, the determination of the amount of impaired loans for each portfolio segment within troubled debt restructurings is the same as detailed previously.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2017-09 was issued in May 2017 and provides guidance about which changes to the terms or condition of a share-based payment award require and entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718.The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company assessed ASU 2017-09 and does not expect a significant impact on its accounting and disclosures.

ASU No. 2017-07 was issued in March 2017 and applies to all employers that offer to their employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715. The amendments in this update require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, as defined, are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-07 are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments in this update are to be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement. The Company assessed ASU 2017-07 and does not expect a significant impact on its accounting and disclosures.

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-15"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)-Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 provides cash flow statement classification guidance for certain transactions including how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company assessed ASU 2016-15 and does not expect a significant impact on its accounting and disclosures. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,“Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The provisions of ASU 2016-13 were issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable incurred loss recognition in current GAAP and reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets.

For purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”) that are measured at amortized cost, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets are recognized through the statement of income as a credit loss expense.

Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security.

On October 16, 2019, FASB approved a final ASU delaying the effective date of ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years,small reporting companies to interim and interimannual periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations and currently does not know or cannot reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments as a result of the complexity and extensive changes from the amendments. The Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) estimate is material to the Company and given the change from an incurred loss model to a methodology that considers the credit loss over the life of the loan, there is the potential for an increase in the ALL at adoption date. The Company is anticipating a significant change in the processes and procedures to calculate the ALL, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for the other-than-temporary impairment on available-for-sale securities will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Company continues to work with an outside vendorrun projections and now have multiple scenarios to begin developingconsider and implementing processes during the next two yearscontinues to review segmentation to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at adoption date. For additional information on the allowance for loan losses, see Note 3.

ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and MeasurementTable of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities"

ASU No. 2016-01 was issued in January 2016 and applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. ASU 2016-01 is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requiring public entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured and amortized at cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instruments specific credit risk when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity instruments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments, but does not expect them to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations since it does not have any equity securities or a valuation allowance. However, the amendments will have an impact on certain items that are disclosed at fair value that are not currently utilizing the exit price notion when measuring fair value. The Company is continuing to assess the impact of ASC 2016-01 on its fair value and other disclosure requirements. The current accounting policies and procedures will be modified after the Company has fully evaluated the standard to comply with the accounting changes mentioned above. For additional information on fair value of assets and liabilities, see Note 16.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09). This update to the ASC is the culmination of efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2014-09 supersedes Topic 605 – Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. 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. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 describes a 5-step process entities can apply to achieve the core principle of revenue recognition and requires disclosures sufficient to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers and the significant judgments used in determining that information. Originally, the amendments in ASU 2014-09 were effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and early application is not allowed. In July 2015, the FASB extended the implementation date to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that reporting period. Transitional guidance is included in the update. Earlier adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company’s revenue is comprised of net interest income, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, and non interest income. ASU 2014-09 may require the Company to change how it recognizes certain revenue streams related to the non interest income and additional disclosures will be required. The Company continues to follow the guidance of the FASB and the Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition related to non interest income and expects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 will not have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This ASU affects all companies and other organization that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment.

Under the current accounting model, an organization applies a classification test to determine the accounting for the lease arrangement:

(a)Some leases are classified as capital where by the lessee would recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.

(b)Other leases are classified as operating leases whereby the lessee would not recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet.

Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.

However, unlike current GAAP—which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet—the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.

For public companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Thus, for a calendar year company, it would be effective January 1, 2019. The impact is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations since the Company does not have a material amount of lease agreements.

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes,purpose, was $36.1$63.8 million and $27.9$55.8 million at September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, respectively.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. The total fair value of these investments at September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, was $6.0$8.4 million and $38.5$1.0 million, which represented approximately 15.3%6% and 96.6%less than 1%, respectively, of the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio.

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary and are a result on an general increase in longer term interest rates.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Government agencysubordinated notes were caused primarily by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required or need to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016.2020.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial

Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, and may include a personal guarantee. Short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The characteristics of properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse, but with geographic location almost entirely in the Company’s market area. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. In general, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate versus nonowner-occupied loans.

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Residential and Consumer

Installment

Residential and consumerinstallment loans consist of two segments - residential mortgage loans and personal loans. For residential mortgage loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner-occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer personal loans are secured by consumer personal assets, such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumerinstallment personal loans are unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas, such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

To facilitate the monitoring of credit quality within the loan portfolio, and for purposes of analyzing historical loss rates used in the determination of the ALLL, the Company utilizes the following categories of credit grades: pass, special mention, substandard, and doubtful. The four categories, which are derived from standard regulatory rating definitions, are assigned upon initial approval of credit to borrowers and updated periodically thereafter. Pass ratings, which are assigned to those borrowers that do not have identified potential or well defined weaknesses and for which there is a high likelihood of orderly repayment, are updated periodically based on the size and credit characteristics of the borrower. All other categories are updated on at least a quarterly basis.

The Company assigns a special mention rating to loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the Company’s credit position.

The Company assigns a substandard rating to loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. Substandard loans have well defined weaknesses or weaknesses that could jeopardize the orderly repayment of the debt. Loans and leases in this grade also are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies noted are not addressed and corrected.

The Company assigns a doubtful rating to loans that have all the attributes of a substandard rating with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors that may work to the advantage of and strengthen the credit quality of the loan or lease, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors may include a proposed merger or acquisition, liquidation proceeding, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral or refinancing plans.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Note 5:         Off-balance-sheet Activities

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contracts are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

Note 7:         Fair Value Measurements

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company also utilizes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1     Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2Observable 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3

Level 2     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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company’s equity securities are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

Collateral dependent impaired loans consisted primarily of loans secured by nonresidential real estate. Management has determined fair value measurements on impaired loans primarily through evaluations of appraisals performed. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by the Company’s Chief Lender. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the Company’s Chief Lender. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by the Company’s Chief Lender by comparison to historical results.

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value (based on current appraised value) at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management has determined fair value measurements on other real estate owned primarily through evaluations of appraisals performed, and current and past offers for the other real estate under evaluation.offers. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, foreclosed assets held for sale are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

Deposits

Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-term Borrowings, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Subordinated Debentures

Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.

Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

At each reporting date between annual goodwill impairment tests, the Company considers potential indicators of impairment. Given the current economic uncertainty and volatility surrounding COVID-19, the Company assessed whether the events and circumstances resulted in it being more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Impairment indicators considered comprised the condition of the economy and banking industry; government intervention and regulatory updates; the impact of recent events to financial performance and cost factors of the reporting unit; performance of the Company’s stock and other relevant events. The Company further considered the amount by which fair value exceeded book value in the most recent quantitative analysis and sensitivities performed.   At the conclusion of the assessment, the Company determined that as of September 30, 2021 it was more likely than not that the fair value exceeded its carrying values. The Company will continue to monitor developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented in response to the pandemic, market capitalization, overall economic conditions and any other triggering events or circumstances that may indicate an impairment of goodwill in the future.

Condition and Results of Operations

ITEM 2.

The following discusses the financial condition of the Company as of September 30, 2017,2021, as compared to December 31, 2016,2020, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, compared to the same period in 2016.2020. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included herein.

Introduction

The CompanyUnited Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UBCP) reported diluted earnings per share of $0.55 and net income of $2,766,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $0.53 and $2,679,000 for the same period in 2016. The Company’s diluted earnings per share and net income$0.50 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.20 and $1,000,000 as compared to $0.18 and $928,000 respectively for the prior year,2021, an increase of 11.1% in$0.14 per share, or 39%, over the previous year.  For the first nine months of the current year, UBCP reported diluted earnings per share.share of $1.21, an increase of 30%, and net income of $6,995,000, an increase of 32%, over the previous year, which are record levels for the Company.

WeEven though our economy continues on its road to full recovery from the impact of the events that have occurred over the course of the past year and a half, we are happyextremely pleased to report on our earnings performance for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021.  For the quarter ending September 30, 2021, our Company achieved net income of $2,902,000 and diluted earnings per share of $0.50, which was an increase of $843,000, or 41%, and $0.14, or 39%, respectively over the net interest income of our Company forprevious year.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During2021, our Company produced net income of $6,995,000 and diluted earnings per share of $1.21, which was a respective increase of $1,682,000, or 32%, and $0.28, or 30%, over the previous year.  We are exceedingly proud to report these earnings levels, which reflect record performance for our Company for the quarter and the first nine months.  Our Company achieved this period,level of earnings performance even though we only saw marginal growth in our loans outstanding and a fairly substantial decline in our securities portfolio balance.  As of September 30, 2021, gross loans were $462.1 million, which was an increase of $18.8 million, or 4.3%, over the Company’s net interest income increased by $688,000,previous year.  In addition, securities and other restricted stock was $139.2 million, which was a decrease of $23.3 million, or 6.2%14.3%, from the previous year.  The primary drivermarginal growth of this increaseour loan portfolio is highly reflective of the Company’slimited lending opportunities with which our industry is confronted due to the lingering effect of and economic challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our loan growth is in-line with (or, even above) the average loan growth achieved by our peer.  The decline in our securities and other restricted stock is primarily related to some calls and prepayments on various securities that we hold within our investment portfolio along with the sale of approximately $32.0 million in agency and municipal investment securities, which produced significant gains for our Company in the first three quarters of last year.  Management firmly believes that taking advantage of gain opportunities in our securities portfolio last year was a prudent action to take under the uncertain circumstances in which we operated, which helped to fortify our loan loss reserve and protect our bottom line net income during this most uncertain time.  In the most recently ended quarter, we preemptively harvested some additional gains within our securities portfolio to take advantage of the opportunity still available and to better prepare for the potential of rising rates in the near term.  Considering our marginal loan growth and the decline in our securities and other restricted stock (along with declining rates that we have experienced within the past eighteen months), our level of both interest income and loan fees generated in the current year have declined from the levels earned the previous year.  As of September 30, 2021, total interest income, including loan fees, was down $2.40 million, or 11.5%, from the increaseprevious year.  We are optimistic that as our economy starts to more fully recover and as rates potentially rise in the near term, we will have better opportunities to leverage our securities portfolio more in-line with our previous level and ramp-up our loan production to levels at which we are more historically accustomed; therefore, increasing our level of higher yielding earning assets and generating more interest and loan fee income.

As we have previously disclosed, our Company was properly positioned from a liability-sensitivity perspective to benefit from the rapid decline in interest income on loans, which was up by $508,000, or 4.5%, year-over-year. The increase in the interest income that our Company realized is directly attributed to the focus thatrates last year.  Even though we had on enhancing our lending platformsaw a significant inflow of retail funding over the course of the past year. Foreighteen months, we were able to lower our interest expense levels to help mitigate the year,decline in the level of net interest income that our Company had anachieved in this highly volatile environment.  As of September 30, 2021, total deposits increased $31.7 million or 5.5%.  We saw low cost retail funding, consisting of demand and savings balances, increase by $57.6 million, or 11.8%, while our higher-cost time deposit balances declined by $26.0 million or 29.0%.  Even with the overall increase in its average loans of $14.2our total deposits, we were able to reduce total interest expense by $2.0 million, or 4.1%. Our company was48.8%, for the first nine months of the current year as compared to last year.  While we were able to achieve thissubstantially reduce total interest expense, our Company still experienced an overall decrease in the level of growthnet interest income that it realized of $425,000, which is a decline of 2.5% from the first nine months of the previous year.  Even with this decline in its loans outstanding while maintaining itsour net interest income, our net interest margin only decreased by one basis point (1bp) on a year-over-year basis to a level of 3.57%, which compares very favorably to peer.  We are optimistic that our Company will achieve higher levels of net interest income, as previously mentioned, as our economy more fully recovers; potentially in the near term.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We have successfully maintained overall strength and stability in credit quality. Year-over-year,within our loan portfolio over the Company continued tocourse of the pandemic and this trend continues for our Company.  We have very solid credit quality-related metrics supported by a relatively low level of nonaccrual loans and loans past due 30+30 plus days, decreasing fromwhich were $3.1 million, or 0.67% of total loans as of September 30, 2021, compared to $1.7 million, or 0.37%, the previous year.  This slight increase in the current year is attributed to one hospitality-related loan that went on non-accrual status during the first quarter of this year with a levelbalance of $2.75approximately $2.5 million for which we allocated a portion to $2.67 million, a declinespecific reserves.  We are very happy to report that this loan paid off after the end of $80,000. Further—the most recently ended quarter and will not be in our totals next quarter.  With the exception of this one-off situation, our overall nonaccrual loans and loans past due 30 plus days have declined over the course of the past twelve months.  Further, net loans charged off excluding overdrafts, was $154,000 through September 30, 2017, which is a decrease of $48,000 from the previous year. At this present level, total past due and nonaccrual loans to gross loans is a very solid 0.70%, versus 0.80% the prior year. In addition, net charge offs to average loans was 0.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The2021, excluding overdrafts, was $91,000, or 0.03% annualized.  Giving strong consideration to our overall solid credit quality-related metrics and the improving economy, our Company had credit reserve releases of $400,000 during the third quarter of 2021.  Even with this aforementioned release, our total allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.89% as of the most recently ended quarter.  At this level, our total allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans was a solid 143.7%.  Barring any other credits deteriorating in the current quarter, our coverage ratio should be even stronger next quarter-end with the recent, post-third quarter end payoff of the hospitality-related loan that was previously mentioned.  Our Company continues to be very well capitalized with equity to assets as of the most recent quarter end of 9.59% and total shareholders’ equity of $70.1 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 5.0%, over the previous year.

As our Company continues to operate within an unsettled economic environment, management is extremely proud of the record level of earnings that the Company achieved for the third quarter and over the course of the first nine months of 2021.  Even though we achieved record earnings performance, our Company’s growth in quality, higher-yielding assets has been restrained by the ongoing uncertainty that permeates our economy.  With this challenge, we continue to experience limited growth in in our loans outstanding and declines in our securities portfolio as well as, a substantial build-up of our cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) due to the inflow of stimulus-related, retail-based funding that came onto our balance sheet over the course of the past eighteen months and continues to largely remain.  This dynamic has led to a marginal year-over-year decline in our net interest income forincome.  Even with this decline, our Company increasednet interest margin has remained relatively stable on a year-over-year even as we focused on growing retail core deposits to fund our loan growth. Total deposits increased by $52.7 million, or 16.1%, to a level of $380.9 millionbasis as of September 30, 2017. The Company was able2021.   With this reality, we are exceedingly happy to control its overall interest expense levels by attracting lower-cost funding alternatives. Overall, the Company saw low-cost retail funding (consistingbe performing at a high level and achieving an annualized return on assets of non-interest1.31% and interest bearing demand and savings deposits) comprise $41.2 millionreturn on equity of its growth in retail deposits year-over-year. In addition, the Company’s time deposits, which consist of certificate of deposit or term funding, increased by $11.6 million13.31% for the same period. Even with the above-peer growth in retail core deposit funding, the Company had a decrease in its overall interest expense to average assets, which decreased on a year-over-year basis from 0.43% to 0.40%. This decrease in the overall cost of funding is directly attributed to the repricing of $15.0 millionfirst nine months of the Company’s fixed rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Company forecasts additional reductions in the cost of its present wholesale funding, which consists of an additional $5.0 million fixed rate advance with the FHLB, in the fourth quarter. By year-end, this FHLB advance (which presently costs the Company 3.08%) willcurrent year.  We continue to be paid off with the current liquidity the company has on its balance sheet. By paying off this fixed rate advance with lower cost retail-based funding, the Company should realize additional savings or containment in its overall interest expense levels.

Condition and Results of Operations

Noninterest income of the Company was down by $232,000 year-over-year. The majority of this decrease in noninterest income is related to a $162,000 non-recurring gain that the Company realized on the sale of Bankers Bancshares, Inc. stock during 2016. On the noninterest expense-side of the net noninterest margin (and, as budgeted), the Company saw an increase in its overall noninterest expense levels after several years of decline. The Company saw its noninterest expense increase by $429,000 or 4.4%. Most of the increase in our noninterest expense was related to personnel-related expenses on the production-side and expenses related to our expansion into the Wheeling, West Virginia market with our new Loan Production Office, which should lead to our Company realizing higher levels of revenue as we have begunrelieved to see inthe ongoing recovery of our economy; albeit, at a slower rate than anticipated during the most recently completed quarter. Considering that most of this expense is “fixed,” we firmly believe that we should be able to drive higher levels of revenue without significantly adding to our overall noninterest expense levels in the short-term; therefore, enhancing our Company’s earnings and returns.

We are pleased to report that we are executing upon our growth strategy, Mission 2020, which calls for our Company to grow its assets (in a profitable fashion)ended quarter due to a level of $1.0 billion or greater by the end of 2020. Even though we realizefew set-backs that we have an extremely long wayimpacted our recovery relative to go in order to achieve our ambitious growth goal, it is gratifying to see the organic growth that we achieved year-over-year. Although we will need to have a compounded annual growth rate of approximately twenty-three percent from the beginning of this year to achieve the level of growth envisioned under Mission 2020, we firmly believe that it is achievable with the present vision that we have (which includes both organic and acquisition-related growth). From an organic perspective this past year, our Company grew its assets $29.0 million, or 6.8%, to an overall level of $455.0 million as of September 30, 2017. As previously mentioned, most of this growth in assets occurred in our Company’s higher-yielding loan portfolio, which enhanced the overall interest income that we realized. As previously mentioned, the overall net interest income realized by our Company increased year-over-year. Our Company was able to achieve this increase in net interest income by growing both its loans outstanding and core deposit funding. As expected, we saw marginal growth in the net income that our Company produced in the first two quarters of this year andyear.  Although things remain somewhat uncertain relating to our economy, we are extremely pleased to seeoptimistic that our earnings growth level is back to double digits on a percentage basis in the third quarter. After several years of containment, our Company saw its overall noninterest expense levels increase this past year as werecovery thereof will continue to build for the future and support our overall mission for growth. Most of the increase in our noninterest expense levels occurred in the following areas: hiring additional loan origination personnel to drive the revenue of our Company; completing the renovation of our Main Office to support an enhanced loan origination platform; reorganizing and enhancing our Information Technology function to better manage risk and serve our valued customers; opening a new Loan Production Office in the Wheeling, West Virginia market to increase overall loan production and to introduce our Company to a new, highly desirable market; marketing expense relating to the prime retail deposit pricing that we have been successfully promoting; and, lastly, legal and other expenses related to the renaming of our Company’s single bank charter. Regarding the renaming of our single bank charter and as previously announced in the third quarter, The Citizens Savings Bank and its two divisions— The Citizens Bank and The Community Bank— were renamed to Unified Bank, which became effective on October 10, 2017. Renaming our bank-level charter, Unified Bank, will allow us to establishleverage some of our lower-yielding, highly liquid overnight investments into higher-yielding, quality loan and securities investments in the coming quarters.  Achieving this should stabilize and improve the level of interest income that we generate and our overall “core” earnings.  On a “non-core” basis, we anticipate being able to continue releasing tranches of our allowance for loan losses in future periods if our credit quality remains sound.  Quite simply, the extraordinary pandemic-related circumstances last year  that led to the loan loss reserve build up have, so far, not led to any material deterioration of our credit quality or an increase in loan-related losses.  Such action should further enhance our bottom line performance.

As always, our primary focus is protecting the investment of our shareholders in our Company and rewarding them at a high level by growing their value and paying an attractive cash dividend.  Accordingly, we remained focused on being an efficient, productive and profitable company that is well capitalized.  In these areas, our shareholders have been nicely rewarded with a year-over-year increase in the cash dividends paid of $0.1075, or 25.0%, (inclusive of a special cash dividend of $0.10 paid in the first quarter of this year), and a market value increase of $1.74, or 13.85%, to a level of $14.30 as of September 30, 2021.  These past eighteen months have been very challenging ones for our Company.  But, these challenges have made us a more effective brand and better supportfundamentally sound company with a focus on the potential of the future.  Focusing internally, we have improved many of our envisioned growth objective. We firmly believe with our positioningprocesses over the course of the past year, which has led to (or, will lead to) various efficiency gains and optimization of our Company has high operating leverage which should allow us to enhance our revenue,delivery.  We have eliminated unnecessary expenses while controlling our noninterest expense levels— thus, leading to higher earnings and returns over the course of the next twelve to eighteen months. We continue to have very solid credit quality metrics, which should have a positive impactspending money on our earnings fortechnological infrastructure, so that we can more effectively compete within our industry by delivering our services in a manner that is demanded by the foreseeable future.markets that we proudly serve.  Relating to cost containment, this year we have closed our Loan Production Office in Wheeling, West Virginia.  In addition, we continuejust recently effected the closure of our Dillonvale, Ohio banking center, which was consolidated into two other banking centers located within close proximity of this market.  Each of these events have had minimal customer impact and will create cost savings that we anticipate seeing more fully in the coming year. Although the pandemic and related economic slowdown took us off our course of growth, we still have our sights set on becoming a $1.0 billion community banking organization in order to have very robust capital levels, as evidenced by our overall equitybe at a scale to asset ratio of 9.71%,achieve additional operating efficiencies, greater profitability and, most importantly, a higher market capitalization which will supportlead to more opportunities for our Company.  We can only realize this vision by having robust organic growth and capitalizing on acquisition-related opportunities for growth in the intermediate term. Our Company continues to pay a very solid cash dividend, which totals $0.50 on a trailing twelve month (TTM) basis (including the $0.05 special dividend paid this past December), which produces at TTM Yield of 4.2% as of quarter-end. At this level, our Company’s cash dividend yield is significantly higher than that of the average bank in our country. With our recent focus of increasing the operating leverage and revenue of our Company is strongly positioned at present.  With the

Critical Accounting Policies

Management makes certain judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments.

The procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses reflect our evaluation of credit risk after careful consideration of all information available to management. In developing this assessment, management must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters where the ultimate outcome is unknown such as economic factors, developments affecting companies in specific industries and issues with respect to single borrowers. Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results, which may require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance is regularly reviewed by management and the board to determine whether the amount is considered adequate to absorb probable losses. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed loans, statistical loss estimates for loan pools that are based on historical loss experience, and general loss estimates that are based on the size, quality and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay and current economic and industry conditions. Also, considered as part of that judgment, is a review of the Bank’s trend in delinquencies and loan losses, and economic factors.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on management’s current judgment about the credit quality of the loan portfolio. While the Company strives to reflect all known risk factors in its evaluation, judgment errors may occur.

Earning Assets – Securities

The securities portfolio is comprised of U.S. Government agency-backed securities, tax-exempt obligations of state and political subdivisions and certain other investments. Securities available for sale at September 30, 20172021 decreased approximately $637,000$22.5 million from December 31, 20162020 totals. The Company has invested in shorter duration securities to reinvest liquid funds.

Sources of Funds – Deposits

The Company’s primary source of funds is core deposits from retail and business customers. These core deposits include all categories of interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding certificates of deposit greater than $100,000.$250,000. For the period ended September 30, 2017,2021, total core deposits increased approximately $38.2$31.1 million or 11.3%5.4%. The Company’s savings accounts decreased $55,000increased $15.8 million, or less than 1.0%12.9%, from December 31, 20162020 totals. The Company’s interest-bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $29.9$30.3 million, or 14.7%8.0%, while certificates of deposit under $100,000 increased$250,000 decreased by $8.4$15.0 million, or 16.2%20.5%. The Company considers core deposit to be stable; therefore, the amount of funds anticipated to flow out in the next three to six months is not considered material to the overall liquidity position of the Company.

The Company has a strong deposit base from public agencies, including local school districts, city and township municipalities, public works facilities and others that may tend to be more seasonal in nature resulting from the receipt and disbursement of state and federal grants. These entities have maintained fairly static balances with the Company due to various funding and disbursement timeframes.

Certificates of deposit greater than $100,000$250,000 are not considered part of core deposits and, as such, are used to balance rate sensitivity as a tool of funds management. At September 30, 2017,2021, certificates of deposit greater than $100,000 increased $3.8$250,000 decreased $2.1 million or 27.8%, from December 31, 20162020 totals.

Sources of Funds – Long Term Debt

During the second quarter of 2019 the Company announced a private placement of $20 million in fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due 2029 (the “Notes”).  The Notes have been structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital under bank regulatory guidelines, and the proceeds from the sale of the Notes are being utilized to support regulatory capital ratios and for general corporate purposes, including growth initiatives at Unified Bank.

Sources of Funds – Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowings

Other interest-bearing liabilities include securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. The majority of the Company’s repurchase agreements are with local school districts and city and county governments. The Company’s short-term borrowings increased approximately $6.8$5.6 million from December 31, 20162020 totals. At September 30, 2017, FHLB advances totaled $5.3 million compared to $39.9 million at December 31, 2016. During 2017, the Company paid off FHLB overnight borrowings of $19.5 million and $15.0 million of fixed rate advances that matured with the excess deposits growth during the same period. The Company’s last fixed rate advance of $5.0 million matures in the fourth quarter and it is anticipated the Company will use its excess liquidity at the Federal Reserve Bank to pay off this advance.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provides flexibility to create a class of preferred shares with 2,000,000 authorized shares. This enables the Company, at the option of the Board of Directors, to issue series of preferred shares in a manner calculated to take advantage of financing techniques which may provide a lower effective cost of capital to the Company. The amendmentability to issue preferred shares also provides greater flexibility to the Board of Directors in structuring the terms of equity securities that may be issued by the Company. Although this preferred stock is a financial tool, it has not been utilized to date.

The Company has offered for many years a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“The Plan”) for shareholders under which the Company’s common stock will be purchased by the Plan for participants with automatically reinvested dividends. The Plan does not represent a change in the Company’s dividend policy or a guarantee of future dividends.

The Company is subject to the regulatory requirements of The Federal Reserve System as a bank holding company. The Bank is subject to regulations of the FDIC and the State of Ohio, Division of Financial Institutions. The most important of these various regulations address capital adequacy.

On January 1, 2015, the final rules of the Federal Reserve Board went into effect implementing in the United States the Basel III regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Under the final rule, minimum requirements increased for both the quality and quantity of capital held by banking organizations. The rule requires a new minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5 percent and a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets that will apply to all supervised financial institutions. The rule also raises therequires a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4 percent toof 6 percent and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4 percent for all banking organizations.

Liquidity

Management’s objective in managing liquidity is maintaining the ability to continue meeting the cash flow needs of its customers, such as borrowings or deposit withdrawals, as well as its own financial commitments. The principal sources of liquidity are net income, loan payments, maturing securities and sales of securities available for sale, federal funds sold and cash and deposits with banks. Along with its liquid assets, the Company has additional sources of liquidity available to ensure that adequate funds are available as needed. These include, but are not limited to the purchase of federal funds, the ability to borrow funds under line of credit agreements with correspondent banks, a borrowing agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and the adjustment of interest rates to obtain depositors. Management feels that it has the capital adequacy and profitability to meet the current and projected liquidity needs of its customers.

Inflation

Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities relate to banking activities and are monetary in nature. The consolidated financial statements and related financial data are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP currently requires the Company to measure the financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars, with the exception of securities available for sale, certain impaired loans and certain other real estate and loans that may be measured at fair value. Changes in the value of money due to rising inflation can cause purchasing power loss.

Management’s opinion is that movements in interest rates affect the financial condition and results of operations to a greater degree than changes in the rate of inflation. It should be noted that interest rates and inflation do affect each other, but do not always move in correlation with each other. The Company’s ability to match the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity of its liabilities in its asset/liability management may tend to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company’s performance.

COVID-19: Update on Company Action and Ongoing Risks

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in China, and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. On March 12, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. This has resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity and a related increase in unemployment.

Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic was sweeping, including passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Congress, the Federal Reserve Bank and the other U.S. state and federal financial regulatory agencies have taken actions to mitigate disruptions to economic activity and financial stability resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the federal banking agencies have encouraged financial institutions to prudently work with affected borrowers and passed measures to provide relief from reporting loan classifications due to modifications related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Lending Assistance

With regard to COVID-19-related loan deferral processing, we currently have interest only payments on 4 total loans with balances totaling approximately $16.8 million or on the commercial portfolio. We also have one commercial loan with a balance of approximately $2.5 million on payment deferral.

Ohio Restrictions and Vaccination Rate

Most of Ohio’s state-wide COVID-19 health orders, including the mask mandate, business and gathering capacity limits and social distancing rules, ended on June 2, 2021. Certain orders continue to remain in place, relating primarily to restrictions at nursing homes and assisted-living facilities. According to information provided by the Ohio Department of Health, as of November 1, 2021, approximately 55.4% of all Ohio residents had received at least one COVID-19 vaccination.

Financial Exposures

Given the timing of the outbreak in the United States of the COVID-19 pandemic, outside of the additional loan loss provision, management does not believe that the Company’s six months performance was significantly impacted. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to represent an unprecedented challenge to the global economy in general and the financial services sector in particular. However, there is still significant uncertainty regarding the overall length of the pandemic and the aggregate impact that it will have on global and regional economies, including uncertainties regarding the potential positive effects of governmental actions taken in response to the pandemic. Our credit administration continues to closely monitor and analyze the higher risk segments within the loan portfolio, tracking loan payment deferrals, customer liquidity and providing timely reports to senior management and the board of directors. Based on the Company’s capital levels, prudent underwriting policies, loan concentration diversification and our geographic footprint, we currently expect to be able to manage the economic risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic and remain adequately capitalized. However, the Company may be required to make additional loan loss provisions (or credits) as warranted by the fluid COVID-19 situation.

The Company adopted the United Bancorp, Inc. Affiliate Banks Directors and Officers Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which is an unfunded deferred compensation plan. Amounts deferred pursuant to the Plan remain unrestricted assets of the Company, and the right to participate in the Plan is limited to members of the Board of Directors and Company officers. Under the Plan, directors or other eligible participants may defer fees and up to 50% of their annual incentive award payable to them by the Company, which are used to acquire common shares which are credited to a participant’s respective account. Except in the event of certain emergencies, no distributions are to be made from any account as long as the participant continues to be an employee or member of the Board of Directors. Upon termination of service, the aggregate number of shares credited to the participant’s account are distributed to him or her along with any cash proceeds credited to the account which have not yet been invested in the Company’s stock. On May 11, 2017, the Plan purchased a total of 3,626 common shares for participant accounts. All purchases under this deferred compensation plan are funded with either earned director fees or officer incentive award payments.

No underwriting fees, discounts, or commissions are paid in connection with the Plan. The shares allocated to participant accounts have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) thereof.
