In the debt security portfolio there were 162 positions that were carrying unrealized losses as of September 30, 2017. There were no instruments considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.

 

The Corporation evaluates both equity and fixed maturity positions for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic and market concerns warrant such evaluation. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for the bifurcation of OTTI into two categories: (a) the amount of the total OTTI related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss), which is recognized in earnings, and (b) the amount of total OTTI related to all other factors, which is recognized, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

As part of management’s normal monthly securities review, instruments are examined for known or expected calls that would impact the value of the bonds by causing accelerated amortization. If a security was purchased at a high premium, or dollar price above par, the remaining premium has to be amortized on a straight line basis to the known call date. Calls can occur in a majority of the securities the Corporation purchases but they are dependent on the structure of the instrument, and can also be dependent on certain conditions.

On March 15, 2016, management was made aware of a regulatory call provision on a CoBank bond held by the Corporation. CoBank is a sub-U.S. agency and cooperative of the Farm Credit Association (FCA), a U.S. government sponsored enterprise (GSE). The bond is classified as a corporate bond for disclosure purposes. The regulatory call was not anticipated and the high coupon bond was purchased at a high premium. The call required accelerated amortization to the April 15, 2016 call date, resulting in an additional $479,000 of amortization through September 30, 2016. This regulatory call specifically involved the CoBank issue maturing on April 16, 2018.

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

On April 26, 2016, management became aware of an AgriBank bond call. AgriBank is another cooperative of the FCA. The Corporation owned $6.4 million par of the AgriBank issue maturing on July 15, 2019, with a book value of $6.6 million as of June 30, 2016. AgriBank went public with this call, stating they intended to call the bonds on July 15, 2016. As a result of this par call notice, management accelerated the amortization of the remaining premium on the AgriBank bond, beginning in April and running until the call date of July 15, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, $1,202,000 of accelerated amortization was recorded on this bond. After July 15, 2016, the Corporation no longer held any sub-U.S. Agency debt of FCA or any other U.S. GSE.

In both the CoBank and AgriBank matters investors, including the Corporation, have contested the ability of both CoBank and AgriBank to conduct these regulatory calls. Presently, the Corporation is listed on a complaint filed in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York against CoBank by over 30 previous holders of CoBank bonds. The complaint has gone through initial mediation phases and the discovery stage which concluded on September 29, 2017. The parties are presently engaged in expert discovery, with the matter proceeding toward trial. Management anticipates going through a similar process with AgriBank, however that litigation is taking the form of a class action lawsuit with a plaintiff representing the class. The Corporation, as a member of the class, initially waited for the court to issue a ruling on AgriBank’s motion to dismiss. The District Court Judge issued an opinion in mid-September 2017, denying AgriBank’s motion to dismiss. The District Court recently entered a discovery schedule that establishes mid-May 2018 as the deadline to complete fact discovery, and mid-August 2018 as the deadline for expert discovery. In both litigation efforts management is contesting the process that was undertaken to exercise these regulatory calls. Management cannot make any prediction or draw any conclusion as to the outcome of any negotiations and/or litigation in connection with these matters.

The Corporation grades commercial credits differently than consumer credits. The following tables represent all of the Corporation’s commercial credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations under the loan agreements as scheduled. The Corporation's internal commercial credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Corporation's internally assigned grades for commercial credits are as follows:

·Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

·Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected. 

·Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

11 

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

·Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset.  In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

·Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 there was one loan modification made causing a loan to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). A TDR is a loan where management has granted a concession to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty. A concession is generally defined as more favorable payment or credit terms granted to a borrower in an effort to improve the likelihood of the lender collecting principal in its entirety. Concessions usually are in the form of interest only for a period of time, or a lower interest rate offered in an effort to enable the borrower to continue to make normally scheduled payments. The loan classified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was an agricultural loan with a principal balance at September 30, 2017, of $263,000. The concession granted to the borrower was an interest-only period initially running for three months to March 31, 2017. However, in April 2017, that deferral period was extended for an additional three months, causing management to classify the loan as a TDR. The concession period ended June 30, 2017. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the borrower resumed normal principal and interest payments as of July 2017. There were no loans classified as a TDR during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, provision expenses were recorded for the consumer real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loan segments, with a credit provision recorded in the commercial real estate loan category. The decrease in the amount of allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate was primarily due to a material drop in commercial real estate loans over the first nine months of 2017. As of December 31, 2016, 50.2% of the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to commercial real estate loans, which consisted of 48.2% of all loans. As of September 30, 2017, 46.8 % of the allowance was allocated to commercial real estate loans which consisted of 44.5% of total loans.

Delinquency rates among the Corporation’s loan pools remain very low. Additionally, there have been no charge-offs for three of our loan pools over the past three years. However, classified loans experienced a large increase in the first nine months of 2017. The Corporation’s classified loans were relatively low and stable throughout 2016 but in the first quarter of 2017 increased by $7.4 million, from $14.2 million to $21.6 million. Two large loan relationships, one consisting of business loans and mortgages, and the other agriculture mortgages were classified as substandard in the first quarter. In the second quarter of 2017, classified loans increased another $4.0 million, to $25.6 million. This increase was primarily caused by four loan customers being classified as substandard, two being commercial and two agricultural-related. However, in the third quarter of 2017, classified loans decreased by $4.6 million, bringing the outstanding balance to $21.0 million. Currently, the agricultural lending sector remains under stress due to weak milk and egg prices impacting farmers. Outside of the commercial loan relationships noted above, the health of the Corporation’s commercial real estate and commercial and industrial borrowers is generally stable with no material trends related to certain types of industries. Commercial borrowers that have exposure to agriculture are subject to more financial stress in the current environment. Qualitative factors regarding trends in the loan portfolio as well as national and local economic conditions were increased for several loan pools in the third quarter of 2017. The increases in classified loans along with higher qualitative factors, caused management to record provision expense of $450,000 through September 30, 2017 despite the continuation of very low levels of delinquencies and charge-offs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a credit provision was recorded for the commercial and industrial segment with provision expense recorded in all other loan categories. For the entire portfolio, $200,000 of additional provision expense was needed for the first nine months of 2016. Delinquency rates among most loan pools remained very low with the total amount of delinquent loans lower on September 30, 2016 than on December 31, 2015, even with larger loan balances. The Corporation received $157,000 more recoveries than charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These favorable results acted to offset higher levels of classified loans and non-accruals resulting in $200,000 of additional provision being sufficient to cover the growth in the loan portfolio. Changes in qualitative factors were minimal during the third quarter and the provision expense recorded was mostly to account for significant loan growth during the year-to-date period.

4. Fair Value Presentation

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles establish a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of observable pricing utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

        Level I:Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

        Level II:Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

        Level III:Assets and liabilities that have little to no observable pricing as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following tables present the assets reported on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

On September 30, 2017, the Corporation held no securities valued using level III inputs. All of the Corporation’s debt instruments were valued using level II inputs, where quoted prices are available and observable, but not necessarily quotes on identical securities traded in active markets on a daily basis. The Corporation’s CRA fund investments and bank stocks are fair valued utilizing level I inputs because the funds have their own quoted prices in an active market. As of September 30, 2017, the CRA fund investments had a $5,250,000 book and fair market value and the bank stock portfolio had a book value of $307,000, and fair market value of $368,000.

On December 31, 2016, the Corporation held no securities valued using level III inputs. All of the Corporation’s debt instruments were valued using level II inputs, where quoted prices are available and observable but not necessarily quotes on identical securities traded in active markets on a daily basis. As of December 31, 2016, the Corporation’s CRA fund investments had a book and fair market value of $5,250,000 and the bank stock portfolio had a book value of $219,000 and a market value of $274,000 utilizing level I pricing.

Financial instruments are considered level III when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for level III financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. Level III financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. There were no level III securities as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Available for Sale

Management utilizes quoted market pricing for the fair value of the Corporation's securities that are available for sale, if available. If a quoted market rate is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Regulatory Stock

Regulatory stock is valued at a stable dollar price, which is the price used to purchase or liquidate shares; therefore, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are individual loans for which the Corporation has a firm sales commitment; therefore, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value.

Loans

The fair value of fixed and variable rate loans is estimated by discounting back the scheduled future cash flows of the particular loan product, using the market interest rates of comparable loan products in the Corporation’s greater market area, with the same general structure, comparable credit ratings, and for the same remaining maturities.

Mortgage Servicing Assets

The fair value of mortgage servicing assets is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows and estimates the price at which a portfolio would prospectively be sold.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

Deposits

The fair value of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and interest bearing demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts is based on the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated by discounting back the expected cash flows of the time deposit using market interest rates from the Corporation’s greater market area currently offered for similar time deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings

The carrying amount of short-term borrowing is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of long-term borrowing is estimated by comparing the rate currently offered for the same type of borrowing instrument with a matching remaining term.

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Firm Commitments to Extend Credit, Lines of Credit, and Open Letters of Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment, using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, is not considered material for disclosure purposes. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments are presented in Note 6.

6.       Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers in the normal course of business, the Corporation makes various commitments that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These commitments include firm commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and open letters of credit. As of September 30, 2017, firm loan commitments were $40.5 million, unused lines of credit were $209.3 million, and open letters of credit were $11.1 million. The total of these commitments was $260.9 million, which represents the Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by its customers with respect to these financial instruments. The actual credit losses that may arise from these commitments are expected to compare favorably with the Corporation’s loan loss experience on its loan portfolio taken as a whole. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet financial instruments.

8. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new

The Company records revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services tofrom contracts with customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this Update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contractaccordance with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,Accounting Standards Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).. Under Topic 606, the Corporation must identify contracts with customers, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when the Corporation satisfies a performance obligation. Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

The amendments in this Update defer the effective dateCorporation’s primary sources of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities,revenue are derived from interest and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Alldividends earned on loans, investment securities, and other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments including loans and securities, we do not expect the new standard, or any of the amendments, to result in a material change from our current accounting for revenue because the majority of the Corporation’s financial instrumentsthat are not within the scope of Topic 606. However, we do expectThe Corporation has evaluated the nature of its contracts with customers and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond what is presented in the standard will resultConsolidated Statements of Income was not necessary. The Corporation generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in new disclosure requirements, which are currently being evaluated.applying Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires an entity 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 instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (g) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (h)(g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

ASU 2016-01 was effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2018, and resulted in separate classification of equity securities previously included in available for sale securities on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in the fair value of the equity securities captured in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 3 – Securities for disclosures related to equity securities. Adoption of the standard also resulted in the use of an exit price rather than an entrance price to determine the fair value of loans not measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 – Fair Value Presentation for further information regarding the valuation of these loans.

Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08,Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, includingand interim periods within those fiscal years.years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans withinadoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the scopeamendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting,the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. Upon adoption on January 1, 2018, the Corporation made a one-time cumulative effect adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of $1.7 million. The net effect was a decrease to retained earnings.

Reporting Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adoptyears. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods within those fiscal years. Forfor which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, thefor reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update are effectiveshould be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. Upon adoption in February 2018, the Corporation made a one-time cumulative effect adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of $634,000. The net effect was an increase to retained earnings.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

The Corporation evaluates fixed maturity positions for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic and market concerns warrant such evaluation. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for the bifurcation of OTTI into two categories: (a) the amount of the total OTTI related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss), which is recognized in earnings, and (b) the amount of total OTTI related to all other factors, which is recognized, net of taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Corporation grades commercial credits differently than consumer credits. The following tables represent all of the Corporation’s commercial credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations under the loan agreements as scheduled. The Corporation's internal commercial credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Corporation's internally assigned grades for commercial credits are as follows:

·Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

·Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected. 

·Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

·Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset.  In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

·Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

There were no loan modifications made during the six months ended June 30, 2018 causing a loan to be considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). However, there was a loan modification made during the six months ended June 30, 2017, that constituted a TDR. A TDR is a loan where management has granted a concession to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty. A concession is generally defined as more favorable payment or credit terms granted to a borrower in an effort to improve the likelihood of the lender collecting principal in its entirety. Concessions usually are in the form of interest only for a period of time, or a lower interest rate offered in an effort to enable the borrower to continue to make normally scheduled payments. The loan classified as a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2017, was an agricultural loan with a principal balance at June 30, 2018, of $209,000. The concession initially granted to the borrower during the first quarter of 2017 was an interest-only period initially running for three months to March 31, 2017. However, on March 31, 2017, that deferral period was extended for an additional three months, causing management to classify the loan as a TDR. The concession period ended June 30, 2017. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the borrower resumed normal principal and interest payments as of July 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, provision expenses were recorded for the commercial real estate, consumer real estate, and consumer segments with a credit provision recorded for the commercial and industrial segment. The increase in the allowance for commercial real estate loans was primarily a result of higher levels of charge-offs in the first six months of 2018. The increase in the amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated to the consumer real estate and consumer segment was primarily a result of growth in these portfolios during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in commercial and industrial loans from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018, was caused by a qualitative factor change across the portfolio and also by the declining level of substandard commercial and industrial loans. The qualitative factors were adjusted across the loan portfolio to better reflect the forward risk in each portfolio. Commercial and consumer real estate carried heavier risk factors, while commercial and industrial was adjusted down. While commercial and industrial did have charge-offs in the first quarter of 2018, they were relative to the size of the allowance and sufficiently covered with prior provisions. There was no commercial and industrial charge-offs in the second quarter of 2018, as well as the commercial and consumer real estate areas. Meanwhile, the amount of commercial and industrial loans rated substandard, declined from $3.2 million on December 31, 2017, to $2.8 million as of March 31, 2018, and to $2.0 million as of June 30, 2018. While the balances of commercial and industrial loans increased moderately from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018, the required allowance and related provision for these loans is influenced more heavily by the amount of classified loans.

Delinquency rates among the Corporation’s loan pools remain low and made up 0.35% of total loans as of June 30 2018, compared to 0.31% of total loans as of December 31, 2017. Charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2018, were $360,000, however $352,000 of the charge-offs came in the first quarter of 2018, with second quarter 2018 charge-offs being a very low $8,000. Classified loans continued to decline in the first six months of 2018, from $16.6 million on December 31, 2017, to $16.0 million as of June 30, 2018. Classified loans were significantly higher at $25.6 million as of June 30, 2017. Currently, the agricultural lending sector remains under stress due to weak milk and egg prices impacting farmers. Outside of this, the health of the Corporation’s commercial real estate and commercial and industrial borrowers is generally stable with no material trends related to certain types of industries. Commercial borrowers that have exposure to agriculture are subject to more financial stress in the current environment. Qualitative factors regarding trends in the loan portfolio as well as national and local economic conditions and external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory were increased for several loan pools in the first six months of 2018 while several factors related to experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other areas declined for the same time period. The increases in charge-offs and growth in the loan portfolio caused management to record provision expense of $280,000 through June 30, 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, provision expenses were recorded for the consumer real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loan segments, with a credit provision recorded in the commercial real estate loan category. The decrease in the amount of allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate was primarily due to a material drop in commercial real estate loans over the first six months of 2017. As of December 31, 2016, 50.2% of the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses was allocated to commercial real estate loans, which consisted of 48.2% of all loans. As of June 30, 2017, 47.8 % of the allowance was allocated to commercial real estate loans which consisted of 45.0% of total loans.

5. Fair Value Presentation

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles establish a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of observable pricing utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

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

The following tables provide the fair market value for assets required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, by level within fiscal years beginning afterthe fair value hierarchy. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

On June 30, 2018, the Corporation held no securities valued using level III inputs. All of the Corporation’s debt instruments were valued using level II inputs, where quoted prices are available and observable, but not necessarily quotes on identical securities traded in active markets on a daily basis. The Corporation’s CRA fund investments and bank stocks are fair valued utilizing level I inputs because the funds have their own quoted prices in an active market. As of June 30, 2018, the CRA fund investments had a $5,341,000 book and fair market value and the bank stock portfolio had a book value of $368,000, and fair market value of $396,000.

Financial instruments are considered level III when their values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for level III financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. Level III financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

7.       Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers in the normal course of business, the Corporation makes various commitments that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These commitments include firm commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, and open letters of credit. As of June 30, 2018, firm loan commitments were $59.1 million, unused lines of credit were $234.0 million, and open letters of credit were $11.7 million. The total of these commitments was $304.8 million, which represents the Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by its customers with respect to these financial instruments. The actual credit losses that may arise from these commitments are expected to compare favorably with the Corporation’s loan loss experience on its loan portfolio taken as a whole. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet financial instruments.

9. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Corporation is currently assessing the practical expedients it may elect at adoption, but does not anticipate the amendments will have a significant impact on the financial statements. Based on the Corporation’s preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Corporation’s balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a one1 percent increase in assets and liabilities. The Corporation also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments apply to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. The amendments in this Update clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt host. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this Update is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities otherthan public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606; they simply clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this Update are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of Update 2014-09. ASU No. 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle for revenue recognition in Topic 606. Instead, the amendments provide (1) more detailed guidance in a few areas and (2) additional implementation guidance and examples based on feedback the FASB received from its stakeholders. The amendments are expected to reduce the degree of judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606, which the FASB expects will reduce the potential for diversity arising in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which among other things clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion in Topic 606, as well as certain narrow aspects of Topic 606. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments-CreditInstruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments(“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This ASUUpdate is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the ASUUpdate is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

In October 2016,May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,2017-09,Statement of Cash FlowsCompensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 230)718), which requiresaffects any entity that changes the terms or conditions of a statementshare-based payment award.  This Update amends the definition of cash flows explains the change during the period inmodification by qualifying that modification accounting does not apply to changes to outstanding share-based payment awards that do not affect the total fair value, vesting requirements, or equity/liability classification of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.awards.  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. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been madeavailable for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11,Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down-round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down-round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down-round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down- round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20,Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Accounting Standards Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.

(3) Remeasuring the entire value of forward contracts and purchased options is required when observable transactions occur on the underlying equity securities. (4) When the fair value option is elected for a financial liability, the guidance in paragraph 825-10- 45-5 should be applied, regardless of whether the fair value option was elected under either Subtopic 815-15,Derivatives and Hedging—Embedded Derivatives, or 825-10,Financial Instruments—Overall. (5) Financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected, the amount of change in fair value that relates to the instrument specific credit risk should first be measured in the currency of denomination when presented separately from the total change in fair value of the financial liability. Then, both components of the change in the fair value of the liability should be remeasured into the functional currency of the reporting entity using end-of-period spot rates.

Results of Operations

 

Overview

The Corporation recorded net income of $2,034,000$2,126,000 and $4,947,000 for the thirdthree and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018, a 13.6% and 33.7% increase respectively, from the $1,872,000 and $3,699,000 earned during the same periods in 2017. The earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.74 and $1.73 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $0.66 and $1.30 for the same periods in 2017. The increase in the Corporation’s 2018 earnings was caused primarily by insurance proceeds from a bank owned life insurance (BOLI) policy. The Corporation purchased and is the beneficiary of all BOLI life insurance policies taken out on select officers. Due to the death of a participant during the first quarter of 2017, a 2.1% decrease from the $2,077,000 earned in the third quarter of 2016, while for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation recorded $5,733,000BOLI income of $913,000. This net income, a 1.8%death benefit caused an increase overin the same period in 2016.Corporation’s 2018 earnings. The Corporation also experienced strong levels of growth in net interest income (NII) for both the three and nine month periodssix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, largely driven by the Federal Reserve rate increases which were largely offset by decreases in other income and increases in interest expense. Forhave positively impacted the third quarter of 2017, the increase in operating expenses and reduction in other income outweighed the increase in NII. For the nine-month period, the Corporation’s NII improvement was more significant relative to the decrease in other income and increase in operating expenses, resulting in higher net income. Earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.71 and $2.01 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0.73 and $1.98 for the same periods in 2016.yield on earning assets.

 

The Corporation’s NII has grown each successive quarter since the third quarter of 2016 due to three Federal Reserve interest rate increases and $1,681,000 of non-recurring amortization on U.S. sub-agency bonds recorded in the first nine months of 2016. The Corporation’s NII increased by $1,048,000,$573,000, or 15.8%7.7%, and $4,198,000,$1,043,000, or 23.0%7.1%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. The increase in NII primarily resulted from an increase in interest and fees on securities and dividend incomeloans of $519,000,$720,000, or 31.8%12.0%, and $2,623,000,$1,286,000, or 69.7%10.9%, for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The portion of the increase thatin NII was causedpartially offset by non-recurring amortization was $170,000 for the three-month period and $1,681,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The Corporation’s NII also benefited from a $459,000, or 8.0%, and $1,280,000, or 7.7%an increase in interest expense. The Corporation’s interest expense on deposits and fees on loansborrowings increased by $111,000, or 15.2%, and $183,000, or 12.8%, for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to 2016. The Corporation’s interest expense was relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2017, but declined by $132,000, or 5.7%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

 

The Corporation recorded $240,000 of$30,000 less provision expense in the thirdsecond quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter of 2017, with $90,000 of provision compared to $200,000$120,000 of provision for the thirdsecond quarter of 2016, and2017. However, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Corporation recorded $70,000 additional provision expense, with $280,000 of $450,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,provision expense compared to $200,000 for$210,000 in the same period in 2016, representing a $250,000 decrease in income in 2017 compared to 2016. The increase in provision expense was largely driven by higher levels of classified loans, which required more provision expense in 2017, as well as a specific allocation of $98,000 for an impaired loan in the third quarter of 2017. The gainslosses from the sale of securities were $170,000 and $417,000$46,000 for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to $464,000gains of $19,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to gains of $107,000 and $2,130,000$247,000 for the same periods in 2016, representing decreases of $294,000, or 63.4%, and $1,713,000, or 80.4%, respectively.2017. Market interest rates were lower in 2016,2017, making it more conducive to achieving gains from the sale of debt and equity securities. The gain on the sale of mortgages decreased by $47,000,$85,000, or 8.4%19.5%, and increased by $193,000,$205,000, or 17.4%25.9%, for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the prior year’s periods. Both mortgage production and margins realizedMargins made on sold mortgages were higherlower in the first ninesix months of 20172018 compared to 2016.2017 primarily causing the decrease in gain income. Total operating expenses increased $899,000,$452,000, or 13.3%5.9%, and $2,938,000,$818,000, or 14.7%5.4%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017.

 

The financial services industry uses two primary performance measurements to gauge performance: return on average assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE). ROA measures how efficiently a bank generates income based on the amount of assets or size of a company. ROE measures the efficiency of a company in generating income based on the amount of equity or capital utilized. The latter measurement typically receives more attention from shareholders. The ROA and ROE increased for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periodperiods in the prior year due primarily to higher earnings. The ROA decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the prior year due to a faster asset growth rate that outpaced the increase in earnings. However, ROE increased for the nine-month period as equity did not increase at a rapid pace allowing the growth in earnings to positively impact ROE.

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income (NII) represents the largest portion of the Corporation’s operating income. In the first ninesix months of 2017,2018, NII generated 74.8%72.5% of the Corporation’s gross revenue stream, which consists of net interest income and non-interest income, compared to 68.1%75.0% in the first ninesix months of 2016. The higher NII as a percentage of gross revenue was primarily caused by a combination of the last three Federal Reserve interest rate increases as well as non-recurring accelerated amortization expense in 2016.2017. The overall performance of the Corporation is highly dependent on the changes in net interest income since it comprises such a significant portion of operating income. Without the impact of the accelerated amortization on the U.S. Sub-Agency bonds, the Corporation’s NII would have accounted for 69.9% of the gross revenue stream for the first nine months of 2016.

 

The following table shows a summary analysis of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis. For analytical purposes and throughout this discussion, yields, rates, and measurements such as NII, net interest spread, and net yield on interest earning assets are presented on an FTE basis. The FTE net interest income shown in both tables below will exceed the NII reported on the consolidated statements of income, which is not shown on an FTE basis. The amount of FTE adjustment totaled $582,000$432,000 and $1,793,000$898,000 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to $524,000$604,000 and $1,570,000$1,211,000 for the same periods in 2016.2017.

NII is the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense incurred on liabilities. Accordingly, two factors affect net interest income:

 

·The rates earned on interest earning assets and paid on interest bearing liabilities
·The average balance of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities

 

The Federal funds rate, the Prime rate, the shape of the U.S. Treasury curve, and other wholesale funding curves, all affect NII. The Federal Reserve controls the Federal funds rate, which is one of a number of tools available to the Federal Reserve to conduct monetary policy. The Federal funds rate, and guidance on when the rate might be changed, is often the focal point of discussion regarding the direction of interest rates. Until December 16, 2015, the Federal funds rate had not changed since December 16, 2008.2008, a period of seven years. On December 16, 2015, the Federal funds rate was increased 25 basis points to 0.50%, from 0.25%. On December 14, 2016, one year later, the Federal funds rate was increased 25 basis points to 0.75%. On March 15, 2017 and on June 14,During 2017, the Federal funds rate was increased three times so that the rate was 1.50% as of December 31, 2017. In March and June of 2018, the Federal Reserve again increased the Federal funds rate by 25 basis points so that the rate sincewas 2.00% as of June 14, 2017, has been 1.25%.30, 2018. Prior to December of 2015, the period of seven years with extremely low and unchanged overnight rates was the lowest and longest in U.S. history. The impact has been a lower net interest margin to the Corporation and generally across the financial industry. The increase in December of 2015 and 2016, as well as theFederal Reserve rate increases in March and June of 2017 resulted in higher short-term U.S. Treasury rates, but the long-term rates initially decreased, resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. Long-term rates like the ten-year U.S. Treasury were 192215 basis points under the 4.25%5.00% Prime rate as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. It appears that the general conditions of a flatter yield curve with low long-term U.S. Treasury rates, significantly below the Prime rate, will continue for the remainder of 2017.2018. Management anticipates the next 0.25% Federal Reserve rate increase could occur in the fourththird quarter of 2017.2018. It remains to be seen whether mid and long-term U.S. Treasury rates will also increase to the same degree that the Federal Reserve will move the overnight Federal funds rate. If they do not, the yield curve would further flatten making it hardermore difficult for the Corporation to increase asset yield.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Prime rate is generally used by commercial banks to extend variable rate loans to business and commercial customers. For many years, the Prime rate has been set at 300 basis points, or 3.00% higher, than the Federal funds rate and typically moves when the Federal funds rate changes. As such, the Prime rate increased from 3.25% prior to 3.50% on December 16, 2015, from 3.50% to 3.75% on5.00% as of June 30, 2018, following the seven Federal Reserve rate moves that began in December 14, 2016, from 3.75% to 4.00% on March 15, 2017, and from 4.00% to 4.25% on June 14, 2017.2015. The Corporation’s Prime-based loans, including home equity lines of credit and some variable rate commercial loans reprice a day after the Federal Reserve rate movement.

 

As a result of the Federal Reserve rate increases, the Corporation’s NII on a tax equivalent basis began to increase in 2017, with the Corporation’s quarterly margin increasing to 3.46%3.47% for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2017, comparedfourth quarter of 2017. The margin decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2018 to 3.04%3.43% primarily as a result of lower tax-equivalent yields on the Corporation’s municipal securities, which were negatively impacted by the lower Corporate tax rate. However, post the tax rate change, in 2018, the Corporation’s net interest margin began increasing again to 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.second quarter of 2018. The Corporation’s NII on a tax-equivalent basis increased for the first ninethree months of 2017 increased substantiallyended June 30, 2018, by $401,000, or 5.0%, and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, by $730,000, or 4.6%, over the same periodperiods in 2016, by $4,421,000, or 22.3%, with the margin increasing to 3.46%. However, there was non-recurring security amortization of $1,681,000 recorded in the first nine months of 2016, which had a negative impact on NII and margin. Without this impact, NII would have increased by $2,740,000, or 12.7%, in 2017 compared to 2016.2017. Management’s asset liability sensitivity measurements continue to show a benefit to both margin and NII given further Federal Reserve rate increases. Actual results over the past nine quarterstwo years have confirmed the asset sensitivity of the Corporation’s balance sheet. Management expects that any additional Federal Reserve rate increases in 20172018 would further improve both margin and NII, although to a limitedslightly lesser degree because the rate change wouldcost on deposits and borrowings will likely only affect the last half of December. However, a fourth quarter Federal Reserve ratebegin to increase would have a positive impact on 2018 NII and margin.more rapidly.

 

The extended extremely low Federal funds rate hashad enabled management to reduce the average cost of funds on overnightover a period of years to a low of 31 basis points as of March 31, 2017 with only a slight increase to 32 basis point as of December 31, 2017. However, in the first six months of 2018, this trend reversed with slight increases in both deposit and borrowings interest expense as the cost to replace maturing borrowings increased and allowed lower interest rates paid on deposits reducing the Corporation’s interest expense.increased slightly. It was only after the third 25-basis point Fed rate increase in March of 2017 that the Corporation raised some deposit rates minimally.minimally, which resulted in slightly higher interest expense in the first half of 2018 compared to the prior year. While the low Prime rate reduced the average yield on the Corporation’s loans for many years, the rate increases in 2017, and through SeptemberJune of 20172018, did act to boost interest income and help improve the Corporation’s margin.income. With a higher Prime rate and elevated Treasury rates, higher asset yields should be possibleare expected throughout the remainder of 2017. Due to the2018. The increasing number of Federal Reserve rate moves assists the Corporation in growing NII and margin because of the variable rate loans inportion of the Corporation’s loan portfolio the 25 basis point increase inwhich resets every time the Prime rate at the endchanges. The magnitude of 2015, 2016, and in March and June of 2017, did cause NII to increase progressively. The full impact of all of these increases was experienced in the third quarter of 2017. Any additional Federal Reserve rate increase in NII and NIM may slow down during the fourth quarterremainder of 2017 would increase NII but the full impact would not be seen until the first quarter of 2018.2018 if deposit rates are increased.

 

Security yields will generally fluctuate more rapidly than loan yields based on changes to the U.S. Treasury rates and yield curve. With higher Treasury rates in the first nine monthshalf of 20172018 compared to the same period in 2016,2017, security reinvestment has been occurring at slightly higher yields and amortization has slowed resulting in higher yields. However, yields on the Corporation’s municipal bonds have decreased due to the change in the corporate tax rate, making tax-free yields less attractive than they were in prior years. Management has added variable rate securities and has reduced the municipal bond holdings in an effort to improve the rates-up performance of the securities portfolio.

The Corporation’s loan yield has begun to increase as the variable rate portion of the loan portfolio is repricing higher with each Federal Reserve rate movement. The vast majority of the Corporation’s commercial Prime-based loans are priced at the Prime rate, currently at 4.25%5.00%. The pricing for the most typical five-year fixed rate commercial loans is currently very similar to the Prime rate. Previously, any increases in variable rate loans acted to bring down overall loan yield. Now with the ratesPrime rate being very similar or higher than fixed commercial rates, it is much more beneficial to the Corporation to grow the variable rate loans in a period of rising rates.loans. An element of the Corporation’s Prime-based commercial loans is priced above the Prime rate based on the level of credit risk of the borrower. Management does price a portion of consumer variable rate loans above the Prime rate, which also helps to improve loan yield. Both commercial and consumer Prime-based pricing continues to be driven largely by local competition.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Mid-term and long-term interest rates on average were higher in 2017the first half of 2018 compared to 2016.2017. The average rate of the 10-year U.S. Treasury was 2.32%2.84% in the first nine monthshalf of 20172018 compared to 1.74%2.35% in the first nine monthshalf of 2016,2017, and it stood at 2.33%2.85% on SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to 1.60% at September2.31% on June 30, 2016.2017. The slope of the yield curve has been compressed throughout most of 20162017 and through the first ninesix months of 2017,2018, with a difference of 10884 basis points between the Fed Funds rate of 1.25%2.00% and the 10-year U.S. Treasury as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to 110106 basis points as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The slope of the yield curve has fluctuated many times in the past two years with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield as high as 2.25%3.11% in 2016the first half of 2018 and 2.62% in the first half of 2017, and as low as 1.37%2.44% in 20162018, and 2.05%2.14% in 2017. Because the yield curve is still relatively flat, management was not able to increase loan rates to improve yield, but security yields have improved as a result of slightly higher investment rates and lower amortization on existing bonds. The non-recurring sub-agency amortization of $1,681,000 for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2016, negatively affected security yield resulting in artificially low yields during 2016 and higher yields during 2017. With higher long-term rates in 2017 and the likelihood of further Fed rate increases, the Corporation’s asset yield is projected to increase throughout the remainder of 2017 and during 2018.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

While it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve savings on the Corporation’s overall cost of funds remained low and did not increase throughout 2017, there were slight increases in the Corporation has been ablefirst half of 2018 due to maintain relatively low offering rateshigher interest expense on longer-term time deposits. Theseboth deposits and borrowings, with the vast majority of the increase coming from the borrowing side. Deposit interest rates are still below the interest rates that existed four or five years ago. Rollover of thesevery low and have not been increased significantly since 2017, although savings on longer term time deposits to lower rates has caused a decrease in interest expense. Generally, it was the longer-term time deposits repricing at lower rates that helped to achieve interest expense reductions on total deposits, as the savings account rate has not changed, and there were limited rate increases for select interest bearing demand deposit accounts.are maturing are no longer being achieved. It is anticipated that interest rates on interest bearing core deposits can be held at the current levels for the remainder of 2017. If the Federal Reserve does act to raise interest rates during the fourth quarter, deposit interest rate increases may need to be implemented beginning in 2018. Management selectively repriced some time deposit rates higher afterincreased during the Marchremainder of 2018 as the Federal Reserve rate increase, butcontinues to raise the time deposits repricing to lower rates offset any increasedshort-term interest expense for those that were selectively priced higher.rates. Borrowing costs, and the wholesale borrowing curves that they are based on, generally follow the direction and slope of the U.S. Treasury curve. However, these curves can be quicker to rise and slower to fall as the providers of these funds seek to protect themselves from rate movements. The Corporation was able to refinance somerefinanced the majority of borrowings at lowerhigher rates in 2016 but2017 and 2018 as lower-priced borrowings matured in 2017 with no ability to refinance at lower rates, so the yield on borrowings increased slightly during 2017 and will likely continuecontinued to do so moving into 2018.

 

Management currently anticipates that the overnight interest rate and Prime rate will remain at the current levels until DecemberSeptember of 20172018 with the possibility of one moretwo additional 0.25% Federal Reserve rate increase by year-end.increases in the remainder of 2018. It is likely that mid and long-term U.S. Treasury rates will increase slowly throughout the fourth quarterremainder of 2017 as the market anticipates anyear, being driven higher due to expected additional Federal Reserve rate movement.movements. This would allow management to achieve higher earnings on new higher yielding securities and allow for the ability to price new loans at higher market rates. However, it is also possible that even after a Federal Reserve rate increase, the yield curve could flatten, making it more difficult for management to lend out or reinvest at higher interest rates out further on the yield curve. Additionally, any additionalfurther Federal Reserve rate increases would have a greater effect on the repricing of the Corporation’s liabilities as the cost of money increases and more marketplace competition returns. Management anticipates that more deposit rate increases will need to be made to remain competitive in the market while maturing borrowings would also likely reprice to higher rates.

 

The following table provides an analysis of year-to-date changes in net interest income by distinguishing what changes were a result of average balance increases or decreases and what changes were a result of interest rate increases or decreases.

During 2017,the first six months of 2018, additional loan volume caused by loan growth added $938,000$782,000 to net interest income, and the slightly higher yields caused a $340,000$552,000 increase, resulting in a total increase of $1,278,000.

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased by 4.5%1.4% during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the prior year driven by theslight growth in deposit balances. The slightly higher cost on deposit accounts resulted in a slight increase in interest expense although the shift between time deposit balances and demand and savings accounts resultedpartially offset this increase. Higher interest rates on all deposit groups except savings deposits caused an $88,000 increase in a more favorable net interest income. Lowerexpense while lower balances of higher cost deposits contributed to savings of $64,000$46,000 on deposit costs while lower interest rates on all deposit groups caused $66,000 of savings, resulting in a total savingsincrease of $130,000.$42,000.

 

Out of all the Corporation’s deposit types, interest-bearing demand deposits reprice the most rapidly, as nearly all accounts are immediately affected by rate changes. Time deposit balances decreased resulting in a $93,000$58,000 reduction to expense, and time deposits repricing to lowerhigher interest rates reducedincreased interest expense by an additional $97,000,$31,000, causing a net total reduction of $190,000$27,000 in time deposit interest expense. Even with the low rate environment, the Corporation was successful in increasing balances of other deposit types.

The average balance of outstanding borrowings decreased by $3.1 million, or 4.2%,did not change materially from September 30, 2016, to September 30, 2017. The decreasethe prior year and resulted in total borrowings reducedadditional interest expense by $25,000.of $1,000. The increase inhigher market interest rates increased interest expense by $23,000,$140,000, as some long-term borrowings at lower interest rates matured and were replaced with new advances at marginally higher rates. The aggregate of these amounts was a decreasean increase in interest expense of $2,000$141,000 related to total borrowings.

 

The following tables showtable shows a more detailed analysis of net interest income on an FTE basis with all the major elements of the Corporation’s balance sheet, which consists of interest earning and non-interest earning assets and interest bearing and non-interest bearing liabilities. Additionally, the analysis provides the net interest spread and the net yield on interest earning assets. The net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. The net interest spread has the deficiency of not giving credit for the non-interest bearing funds and capital used to fund a portion of the total interest earning assets. For this reason, management emphasizes the net yield on interest earning assets, also referred to as the net interest margin (NIM). The NIM is calculated by dividing net interest income on an FTE basis into total average interest earning assets. The NIM is generally the benchmark used by analysts to measure how efficiently a bank generates NII.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation’s interest income increased at a faster pace primarily due to non-recurring security amortization in the first nine months of 2016,increased interest income on loans, resulting in a higher NIM of 3.50% for the thirdsecond quarter of 2018, compared to 3.46% for the second quarter of 2017 and 3.47% for the year-to-date period in 2018, compared to 3.22% for the third quarter of 2016 and 3.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 3.04%3.44% for the same period in 2016.2017. The yield earned on assets increased by 27five basis points for the quarter and 37 basis points for the year-to-date periodsix months ended June 30, 2018, while the rate paid on liabilities dropped onealso increased by five basis point for the quarter and six basis points for the year-to-date period when comparing both years. This resulted in a static net interest spread, but the effect of non-interest bearing deposits increased by three basis points during the first half of 2018 compared to the prior year, resulting in the marginal increase in NIM. Management does anticipate further improvements in NIM during the remainder of 20172018 with the possibility of anotheradditional Federal Reserve rate increase inincreases throughout the fourth quarter.remainder of the year. Loan yields were at historically low levels during 2016 and the first nine months of 2017 due to the extended low-rate environment as well as extremely competitive pricing for the loan opportunities in the market. During the first half of 2018, these yields increased slightly. It is anticipatedexpected that theseloan yields will remain relatively unchanged during the remainder of 2017 with increases occurringcontinue to increase during 2018 as the economy improves and loan demand increases, reducing pricing pressures and intense competition for loans. The increase in the Prime rate has helped to increase loan yields on variable rate consumer and commercial loans. Growth in the loan portfolio coupled with better yields on variable rate loans caused loan interest income to increase. The Corporation’s loan yield increased 1719 basis points in the third quarterfirst half of 20172018 compared to the third quarterfirst half of 2016 and 8 basis points when comparing the year-to-date periods in both years.2017. Loan interest income increased $480,000,$1,333,000, or 8.3%, and $1,278,000, or 7.6%11.2%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2017.

 

Loan pricing was challenging in 2016,2017, and continues to be in 20172018 as a result of intense competition resulting in fixed-rate loans being priced at very low levels and variable-rate loans priced at the Prime rate or below. The current Prime rate of 4.25%5.00% is generally slightly higher than the typical business or commercial five-year fixed rates being extended. The commercial or business fixed rates do increase with longer fixed terms or lower than most fixed-rate business and commercialcredit quality. In terms of the variable rate pricing, nearly all variable rate loans which typically range between 4.00% and 6.00%, depending on term and credit risk.offered are Prime-based. Management is able to price loan customers with higher levels of credit risk at Prime plus pricing, such as Prime plus 0.75%, currently 5.00%5.75%. However, there are relatively few of these higher rate loans in the commercial and agricultural portfolios due to the strong credit quality of the Corporation’s borrowers. Competition in the immediate market area ishas been pricing select shorter-term fixed-rate commercial and agricultural lending rates below 4.00% for the strongest loan credits. This current market environment has largely prevented the Corporation from gaining more yield on fixed rate commercial and agricultural loans. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) carefully monitors the NIM because it indicates trends in net interest income, the Corporation’s largest source of revenue. For more information on the plans and strategies in place to protect the NIM and moderate the impact of rising rates, please refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

Earnings andTax equivalent yields on the Corporation’s securities increaseddecreased by 4440 basis points for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and 95 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2017 due to the impact of a reduction of the Federal corporate income tax rate on the Corporation’s municipal bonds. The Corporation’s securities portfolio consists of nearly all fixed income debt instruments.instruments, however, the variable rate percentage of the portfolio was 8.4% as of June 30, 2018, and is expected to grow. The Corporation’s taxable securities experienced a 7426 basis-point increase in yield for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and a 140 basis-point increase in yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016. This was largely due to accelerated amortization that caused significantly lower interest income for the first nine months of 2016. Additionally, some security2017. Security reinvestment in the first ninesix months of 20172018 has been occurring at higher rates and regular amortization has been lower due to the slightly higher interest rate environment. These variables have caused taxable security yields to increase significantly.increase. The yield on tax-exempt securities decreased minimally by five basis points and six113 basis points for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2017, as a result of the Federal tax rate change enacted in December of 2017. Prior to 2018, the Federal tax rate was 34% causing the tax-equivalent yield on municipal bonds to be higher. In 2018, with a Federal tax rate of 21%, this tax-free advantage was significantly diminished causing the lower yields on tax-exempt securities.

 

Prior to 2017,2018, with short-term rates extremely low and with small rate differences for longer-term deposits, the consumer generally elected to stay short and maintain funds in accessible deposit instruments. During the first ninesix months of 2017,2018, with higher short-term rates but still low longer-term rates, the customer still prefers keeping balances in both non-interest and interest bearing checking products and savings accounts. In addition to the consumer staying liquid with their available funds, there has been a general trend of funds flowing from time deposit accounts into both non-interest checking, NOW and savings accounts. The average balance of the Corporation’s interest bearing liabilities increased during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The average balance of time deposits declined during thesethis same periodsperiod compared to 2016,2017, but the other areas of NOW, MMDA, and savings grew sufficiently enough to compensate for the decline in time deposits, causing total interest bearing funds to increase. However, with more of the interest bearing funds in the form ofslightly higher rates on NOW, MMDA, and savings accounts the average interest rate paid on these instruments is significantly less than what is paid on time deposits, resulting in lessthe Corporation incurred more interest expense.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Interest expense on deposits declinedincreased by $20,000,$42,000, or 3.9%, and $130,000, or 8.3%4.4%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2017. Demand and savings deposits reprice in their entirety whenever the offering rates are changed. This allowschanged, therefore management is cautious in terms of increasing portfolio interest rates. Management is expected to reducetake limited action in terms of increasing interest costs rapidly; however, it becomes difficultbearing demand and savings account rates in order to continueprotect deposit levels. During the first six months of 2018, the cost of demand and savings deposits increased compared to gain cost savings once offering rates decline to these historically low levels.the prior year. For the third quarterfirst six months of 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, the average balances of interest bearing demand deposits increased by $6.9$10.8 million, or 3.6%, and $16.6 million, or 9.0%5.4%, over the same periodsperiod in 2016,2017, while the average balance of savings accounts increased by $23.8$10.2 million, or 14.3%, and $25.8 million, or 16.1%, respectively. This increase in balances of lower cost accounts has helped to reduce the Corporation’s overall interest expense in 2017 compared to 2016.5.6%.

 

Time deposits reprice over time according to their maturity schedule. This enables management to both reduce and increase rates slowly over time. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, time deposit balances decreased compared to balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The decrease can be attributed to the lowestlow rates paid historically on time deposits, which has caused the differential between time deposit rates and rates on non-maturity deposits to be minimal.minimal, as well as more attractive time deposit rates being offered in the local market area. As a result, customers have elected to keep more of their funds in non-maturity deposits and less funds in time deposits. Because time deposits are the most expensive deposit product for the Corporation and the largest dollar expense from a funding standpoint, the reduction in time deposits, along with the increases in interest-bearing checking, savings, and non-interest bearing checking, has allowed the Corporation to achieve a lower cost and more balanced deposit funding position.position and maintain a lower cost of funds. The Corporation was able to reduce interest expense on time deposits by $44,000,$28,000, or 10.6%3.8%, for the third quarterfirst six months of 2017,2018, compared to the same period in 2016, and by $191,000, or 14.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in the prior year.2017. Average balances of time deposits decreased by $11.9$12.3 million, or 7.2%, and $12.6 million, or 7.4%7.7%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2017. The average annualized interest rate paid on time deposits decreasedincreased by fivefour basis points for the three-month period and eight basis points for the nine-monthsix-month period when comparing both years.

 

The Corporation historically uses both short-term and long-term borrowings to supplement liquidity generated by deposit growth. Average short-term advances of $2,709,000 and $9,714,000$6,525,000 were utilized in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, respectively,2018, while average short-term advances of $10,052,000 and $11,131,000$13,274,000 were utilized in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Management has used long-term borrowings as part of an asset liability strategy to lengthen liabilities rather than as a source of liquidity. Average total borrowings decreased by $3,782,000,$187,000, or 5.2%, and $3,117,000, or 4.2%0.3%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2017. Interest expense on borrowed funds was $23,000,$142,000, or 9.5%29.3% higher, and $2,000, or 0.3% lower, for the three and nine-month periodssix-month period when comparing 20172018 to 2016.2017.

 

For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the net interest spread increased 28 basis points to 3.34%remained the same at 3.28%, from 3.06%the same as it was for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the net interest spread increased 43 basis points to 3.30%, from 2.87% for the same period in 2016.2017. The effect of non-interest bearing funds stayed the sameincreased by three basis points for the three-month period and dropped by one basis point for the nine-monthsix-month period compared to the same periodsperiod in the prior year. The effect of non-interest bearing funds refers to the benefit gained from deposits on which the Corporation does not pay interest. As rates go lower,higher, the benefit of non-interest bearing deposits is reducedincreases because there is lessmore difference between non-interest bearing funds and interest bearing liabilities. For example, if an interest checking account with $10,000 earns 1%, the benefit for $10,000 of non-interest bearing deposits is equivalent to $100; but if the interest-checking rate is reducedincreased to 0.20%1.50%, then the benefit of the non-interest bearing funds is only $20.$150. This assumes dollar-for-dollar replacement, which is not realistic, but demonstrates the way the lowerhigher cost of funds affects the benefit to non-interest bearing deposits.

 

The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) carefully monitors the NIM because it indicates trends in net interest income, the Corporation’s largest source of revenue. For more information on the plans and strategies in place to protect the NIM and moderate the impact of rising rates, refer to Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) provides for losses inherent in the loan portfolio as determined by a quarterly analysis and calculation of various factors related to the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision reflects the adjustment management determines necessary to ensure the ALLL is adequate to cover any losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Corporation recorded a provision expense of $240,000$90,000 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and $450,000$280,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to a provision expense of $200,000$120,000 and $210,000 for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, and $200,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017, respectively. The analysis of the ALLL takes into consideration, among other things, the following factors:

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation recorded provision expense of $450,000$280,000 primarily due to higher balances of classified loans and a specific allocation of $98,000 related to an impaired loan. During the first nine months of 2016, the Corporation recorded $200,000 of provision expense.charged-off loans. Management closely tracks delinquent, non-performing, and classified loans as a percentage of capital and of the loan portfolio.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, total delinquencies represented 0.46%0.35% of total loans, compared to 0.45%0.41% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. These ratios are extremely low compared to local and national peer groups. The vast majority of the Corporation’s loan customers have remained very steadfast in making their loan payments and avoiding delinquency, even during challenging economic conditions. The delinquency ratios speak to the long-term health, conservative nature, and, importantly, the character of the Corporation’s customers and lending practices. Classified loans are primarily determined by loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios. The prolonged economic downturn, including devaluationlevel of residential and commercial real estate, had stressed these ratios in past periods and the additionclassified loans has declined from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018 declining from 26.2% of a commercial loan relationship in the first quarterregulatory capital to 15.1% of 2017 had caused an increase in these levels. However, a classified loan relationship that paid off helped to reduce the total classified balances during the third quarter of 2017.regulatory capital. The delinquency and classified loan information is utilized in the quarterly ALLL calculation, which directly affects the provision expense. A sharp increase or decrease in delinquencies and/or classified loans during the quarter would be cause for management to increase or decrease the provision expense. The level of actual charge-offs relative to the amount of recoveries can also have a significant impact on the provision. Management had recoveriescharge-offs that exceeded charge-offsrecoveries by $16,000$349,000 in the first ninesix months of 2017.2018 due to two large commercial charges-offs.

 

Generally, management will evaluate and adjust, if necessary, the provision expense each quarter based upon completion of the quarterly ALLL calculation. Future provision amounts will generally depend on the amount of loan growth achieved versus levels of delinquent, non-performing, and classified loans, as well as charge-offs and recoveries.

 

In addition to the above, provision expense is impacted by three major components that are all included in the quarterly calculation of the ALLL. First, specific allocations are made for any loans where management has determined an exposure that needs to be provided for. These specific allocations are reviewed each quarter to determine if adjustments need to be made. It is common for specific allocations to be reduced as additional principal payments are made, so while some specific allocations are being added, others are being reduced. Secondly,Second, management provides for estimated losses on pools of similar loans based on historical loss experience. Finally, management utilizes qualitative factors every quarter to adjust historical loss experience to take into consideration the current trends in loan volume, delinquencies, charge-offs, changes in lending practices, and the quality of the Corporation’s underwriting, credit analysis, lending staff, and Board oversight.National and local economic trends and conditions are also helpful to determine the amount of loan loss allowance the Corporation should be carrying on the various types of loans. Management evaluates and adjusts, if necessary, the qualitative factors on a quarterly basis.

 

In the first ninesix months of 2017,2018, qualitative factors were adjusted based on current information regarding delinquency, economic conditions, and other factors.Changes in qualitative factors were unchanged for two loan pools while they increased for four pools and declined for three.seven. Adjustments to the qualitative factors were minor in nature with most changes being only five or ten basis points of adjustment, the lowest amount of adjustment that management will make. The four pools with factor increases were agricultural dairy, credit lines, personal loans, and residential real estate. These increases were due to changes in the trending of those pools including balances, delinquencies, concentrations of credit, and the personnel that handle those loans. Out of these four pools, the two containing the largest balances are agricultural dairy and residential real estate. The dairy industry continues to be impacted by lower milk prices, which lowers the profit margin for these farmers and has impacted delinquencies. Residential real estate balances have grown significantly, especially adjustable rate mortgages, resulting in a higher concentration of residential mortgages.

Management also monitors the allowance as a percentage of total loans. The percentage of the allowance to total loans has increaseddecreased since SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2016, and2017, but remains comparable withhigher than the Bank’s national peer group.group from the Uniform Bank Performance Reports. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.37%1.30%, updown from 1.32%1.38% at December 31, 2016,2017, and 1.31%1.35% at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Management continues to evaluate the allowance for loan losses in relation to the size of the loan portfolio and changes to the segments within the loan portfolio and their associated credit risk. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for future loan losses based on the current portfolio and the current economic environment.

Trust and investment services income increased $83,000,$48,000, or 24.1%14.3%, and $231,000,$120,000, or 20.9%13.2%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods last year. This revenue consists of income from traditional trust services and income from alternative investment services provided through a third party. In the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2018, traditional trust income increased by $42,000,$6,000, or 17.5%2.4%, while income from alternative investments increased by $41,000,$42,000, or 39.7%27.0%, compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2016.2017. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, traditional trust services income increased by $158,000,$16,000, or 21.2%2.5%, while income from alternative investment services increased by $73,000,$104,000, or 20.4%36.3%, compared to the same period in 2016.2017. Trust income was up for both periods as a result of new business, higher fees, and higher trust valuations. Several new trust accounts were opened in the fourth quarter of 2016 adding revenue beginning in 2017. A new trust fee schedule was implemented in March of 2016, which resulted in more first quarter and year-to-date income in 2017. Trust income was also elevated due to increases in unscheduled executor fee income over both periods of 2016. Lastly, equityEquity markets were up since December 31, 2016, and have continued to increase throughout 2017, which has increased trust valuations and the fees generated from their fair market values.

Investment services income is dependent on new investment activity derived from the period and was up for both periods in 2018 compared to 2017. New staffing was added to this area just prior to 2017, which enabled the unit to have more contact with current customers and broaden the customer base. The full complement of personnel did increase the level of business conducted in 2018, thereby increasing the amount of commission-based revenue. The trust and investment services area continues to be an area of strategic focus for the Corporation. Management believes there continues to be great need for retirement, estate, small business succession planning, and personal investment services in the Corporation’s service area. Management also sees these services as being a necessary part of a comprehensive line of financial solutions across the organization.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $35,000,$43,000, or 12.3%14.3%, and $88,000,$79,000, or 10.7%13.5%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. Overdraft service charges are the largest component of this category and comprised approximately 80%79% of the total deposit service charges for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. Total overdraft fees increased by $29,000,$32,000, or 12.8%13.3%, and $77,000,$57,000, or 11.8%12.0%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. Management attributes higher overdraft fee income primarily to the growth in deposit accounts and new customers. No changes to Bank fees or policies have occurred. Most of the other service charge areas showed minimal increases or decreases from the prior year.

 

Other service charges and fees increased by $24,000,$110,000, or 7.9%28.6%, and $162,000,$173,000, or 19.7%26.3%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. The quarterly and year-to-date increase is primarily due to an increase in loan administration fees that were higher by $40,000,$45,000, or 37.7%28.2%, for the three-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and $133,000,$93,000, or 47.8%35.2%, for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in the prior year. A significant increaseThese fees are higher primarily due to increased commercial loan volume in the first half of 2018 compared to the prior year. Mortgage origination fees increased by $65,000, or 88.9%, and $65,000, or 50.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to more mortgage volume is being generated throughoriginations held on balance sheet as opposed to sold on the mortgage expansion and was the primary reason for these increased fees.secondary market. Account analysis fees increased by $6,000,$11,000, or 53.9%64.2%, and $23,000,$20,000, or 86.3%62.5%, for the quarter and year-to-date periodssix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in the previous year, primarily as a result of increased focus on cash management customers and assessing proper fees for the services provided. Partially offsetting these increases, fees for 30-year mortgage originations decreased by $23,000, or 30.5%, and $11,000, or 6.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. The other service charges and fees area is expected to continue to grow at a faster pace than other elements of the Corporation’s fees but the percentage increase will decline going forward. Various other fee income categories increased or decreased to lesser degrees making up the remainder of the variance compared to the prior year.

 

Commissions increased by $31,000,$73,000, or 5.6%12.5%, and $103,000,$110,000, or 6.4%9.7%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. This was primarily caused by debit card interchange income, which increased by $23,000,$53,000, or 4.8%10.2%, and $90,000,$83,000, or 6.4%8.3%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. The interchange income is a direct result of the volume of debit card transactions processed and this income increases as customer accounts increase or as customers utilize their debit cards to a higher degree.

Gains or losses on securities transactions fluctuate based on market opportunities to take gains and reposition the securities portfolio to improve long-term earnings, or as part of management’s asset liability goals to improve liquidity or reduce interest rate risk or fair value risk. The gains or losses recorded by the Corporation depend heavily on market pricing and the volume of security sales. Generally, the lower U.S. Treasury yields go, the more management will be motivated to pursue taking gains from the sale of securities. However, these market opportunities are evaluated subject to the Corporation’s other asset liability measurements and goals. The yield curve in the first ninesix months of 20162017 provided greaterslightly better opportunities to take significant gains out of the portfolio than during the first ninesix months of 2017.2018.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, earnings on bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) decreasedincreased by $40,000,$21,000, or 19.0%12.3%, and for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, earnings on BOLI decreasedincreased by $90,000,$947,000, or 14.9%275.3%, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. The decreaseyear-to-date increase in BOLI income was primarily due to declining performance on the grandfathered directors’ lifecaused by insurance policies, which were initiated prior to 1995 in connection with a previous Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. These director-related policies are not generating as much incomeproceeds due to the agedeath of a participant during the directors and structurefirst quarter of 2018 in the policies. The lower levelsamount of return on these policies will likely continue throughout the remainder of 2017 and into 2018.$913,000. The amount of BOLI income is generally dependent upon the actual return of the policies, the insurance cost components, and any benefits paid upon death that exceed the policy’s cash surrender value. Increases in cash surrender value are a function of the return of the policy net of all expenses.

 

The miscellaneous income category increased by $59,000, or 57.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and $88,000, or 34.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017. The primary reason for the increase in miscellaneous income was due to a sales tax refund in the amount of $29,000 received in the second quarter of 2018 with no corresponding amounts received in the first half of 2017. Additionally, net mortgage servicing income and credit enhancement fees were up due to the larger balance of mortgages sold.

Salaries and employee benefits are the largest category of operating expenses. In general, they comprise 63%approximately 64% of the Corporation’s total operating expenses. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, salaries and benefits increased $621,000,$410,000, or 14.7%8.5%, from the same period in 2016.2017. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, salaries and benefits increased $2,140,000,$651,000, or 17.5%6.8%, compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Salaries increased by $459,000,$405,000, or 14.3%11.4%, and employee benefits increased by $162,000,$5,000, or 15.9%0.5%, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same period in 2016.2017. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, salary expense increased by $1,528,000,$693,000, or 16.9%10.0%, while employee benefits increaseddecreased by $611,000,$42,000, or 19.3%1.6%, compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Salary and benefit expenses have grown significantly primarily due to the three new branch locations added in 2016, but also as a result of additional operational and sales positions to support the growth of the Corporation.

 

Occupancy expenses consist of the following:

·Depreciation of bank buildings
·Real estate taxes and property insurance
·Building lease expense
·Utilities
·Building repair and maintenance

 

Occupancy expenses did not change significantly for the quarter, but increased $69,000,$61,000, or 12.4%, and $244,000, or 15.4%5.1%, for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Building repair and maintenance costs increased by $18,000, or 41.8%, and $85,000, or 84.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Utilities costs increased by $10,000, or 5.9%, and $68,000, or 15.1%, when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, to the same periods in the prior year. Lease expense increased by $22,000, or 61.5%, and $59,000, or 63.6%, for the three and nine-month periods in 2017 compared to 2016. Cleaning services increased by $10,000, or 35.0%, and $28,000, or 35.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Occupancy expenses were higher for both the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of projects at existing locations and the expense associated with the three new branch locations and leased office space added during the last half of 2016.

Advertising and marketing expenses increased by $23,000,$45,000, or 19.2%28.1%, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same period in 2016,2017, and increased by $117,000,$41,000, or 27.7%10.4%, for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same period in 2016.2017. These expenses can be further broken down into two categories, marketing expenses and public relations. The marketing expenses remained the same for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to the third quarter of 2016, but for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, these expenses increased by $84,000,$71,000, or 31.7%, compared to the year-to-date period in 2016. Public relations expenses increased by $23,000, or 72.1%74.0%, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to the same period in the prior year, and $34,000,increased by $3,000, or 21.7%1.0%, for the nineyear-to-date period in 2018 compared to the prior year. Public relations expenses decreased by $25,000, or 39.7%, for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and increased by $38,000, or 28.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. Marketing expenses support the overall business strategies of the Corporation; therefore, the timing of these expenses is highly dependent upon the execution of those strategies.

 

Computer software and data processing expenses increased by $104,000, or 22.1%, for the third quarter of 2017, and $309,000, or 23.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Software-related expenses were up $78,000, or 30.3%, and $242,000, or 33.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily as a result of increased amortization on existing software as well as purchases of new software platforms to support the strategic initiatives of the Corporation. Data processing fees were up $27,000, or 12.3%, and $68,000, or 10.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. These fees are likely to continue to increase throughout the remainder of 2017 as new software platforms are installed and the cost of annual maintenance contracts increases and data processing fees increase with the increase in customer transactions.

The Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax expense decreased $12,000, or 5.3%, and $36,000, or 5.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016. Three main factors determine the amount of bank shares tax: the ending value of shareholders’ equity, the ending value of tax-exempt U.S. obligations, and the actual tax rate. The shares tax calculation in 2014 changed to using a year-end balance of shareholders’ equity, less tax-exempt U.S. obligations multiplied by a tax rate of 0.89%. In 2016, as part of the State of Pennsylvania Budget discussions, the Governor proposed a Bank Shares Tax rate increase to 1.25%. Later proposals were 0.99%, and the 0.95% tax rate that was approved. As a result of these budget discussions, in the beginning of 2016 management was accruing for a higher level of PA Bank Shares Tax, which caused the expense for both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 to be elevated. Once it was known the Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax rate was approved at 0.95% for the 2016 PA Bank Shares Tax year, the amount of expense was reduced in the second half of 2016 and throughout 2017.

Other operating expenses increased by $74,000, or 14.8%, and by $44,000, or 2.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016. Loan-related expenses increased by $95,000 for the quarter and by $100,000 for the year-to-date periods when comparing 2017 to 2016. The primary reason for this increase was the implementation of a third party origination loan program which generates revenue from loans referred by another financial institution, with a commission paid to that institution which runs through this other operating expense category. Additionally, fraud-related charge-offs increased by $14,000, or 63.4%, and $45,000, or 50.7%, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Income Taxes

 

ThePrior to 2018, the majority of the Corporation’s income iswas taxed at a corporate rate of 34% for Federal income tax purposes. In December of 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowered the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% effective for 2018 and years going forward. Because of this, the Corporation’s Federal income tax provision for 2018 should decline. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation recorded Federal income tax expense of $391,000 and $935,000,$535,000, compared to tax expense of $445,000 and $1,045,000$544,000 for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The effective tax rate for the Corporation was 16.1%9.8% for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, compared to 17.6% and 15.6%12.8% for the same periodsperiod in 2016.2017. The Corporation’s effective tax rate has historically been maintained at low levels primarily due to a relatively high level of tax-free municipal bonds held in the securities portfolio. The fluctuation of the effective tax rate will occur as a result of total tax-free revenue as a percentage of total revenue. The lower effective tax rate for the year-to-date period in 20172018 was primarily caused by an increase in the Corporation’slower Federal corporate tax rate as well as higher pre-tax income that was affected by $913,000 of BOLI death benefit that is tax-free municipal bond portfolio.income to the Corporation.

 

Certain items of income are not subject to Federal income tax, such as tax-exempt interest income on loans and securities, and BOLI income; therefore, the effective income tax rate for the Corporation is lower than the stated tax rate. The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the Corporation’s provision for Federal income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Income by the income before income taxes for the applicable period.

 

The Corporation is also subject to Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax; however, the Corporation’s Holding Company has very limited taxable corporate net income activities. The Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ephrata National Bank, is subject to Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax. Like Federal Corporate income tax, the Pennsylvania Bank Shares Tax is a significant expense for the Corporation, amounting to $215,000$443,000 in the third quarterfirst half of 2017 and $644,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018 compared to $227,000 and $680,000 for the same periods$430,000 in 2016.2017. The Bank Shares Tax expense appears on the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income, under operating expenses.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

 

The Corporation classifies all of its debt securities as available for sale and reports the portfolio at fair value. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation had $320.7$307.3 million of securities available for sale, which accounted for 31.7%29.3% of assets, compared to 31.3%30.4% as of December 31, 2016,2017, and 30.7%30.8% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Based on ending balances, the securities portfolio increased 7.6%decreased 1.3% from SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and 4.1%2.2% from December 31, 2016.2017.

 

The securities portfolio was showing a net unrealized loss of $3,381,000$8,580,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to an unrealized loss of $7,401,000$4,842,000 as of December 31, 2016,2017, and an unrealized gainloss of $1,850,000$2,806,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The valuation of the Corporation’s securities portfolio, predominately debt securities, is impacted by both the U.S. Treasury rates and the perceived forward direction of interest rates. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was 1.60%2.31% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016, 2.45%2017, 2.40% as of December 31, 2016,2017, and 2.33%2.85% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The lowerhigher Treasury rates since December 31, 20162017 have caused an improvementa decrease in market valuation, which has resulted in the smallerlarger unrealized loss recorded at SeptemberJune 30, 20172018, compared to the significant unrealized losses at December 31, 2016.2017, and June 30, 2017.

 

The table below summarizes the Corporation’s amortized cost, unrealized gain or loss position, and fair value for each sector of the securities available for sale portfolio for the periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, December 31, 2016,2017, and SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

Interest rate changes and the perceived forward direction of interest rates generally have a close relationship to the valuation of the Corporation’s fixed income securities portfolio. There are also a number of other market factors that impact bond prices. It is likely the Federal Reserve will act to increase rates one or two more timetimes during 2017.2018. During 2016,2017, the Federal Reserve increased short-term rates three times, but mid and long-term Treasury rates did not increase at the same speed, so there was increased foreign market turmoil with several major European countries experiencing negative yields for mid and longer term notes. This resulted in foreign investors seeking U.S. Treasury debt as a safe haven and drove U.S. Treasury yields to new record lows early ingeneral flattening of the third quarter of 2016. Treasury rates increased significantly during the third and fourth quarters of 2016.yield curve throughout 2017. The Treasury rates ran up to a 2017 high of 2.62% in March and then slowly retreated until hitting lowsthe year’s low of 2.05% in early September. SinceSeptember and then increasing until the end of the year finishing at 2.40%. In 2018, U.S. Treasury rates have slowly increased to a May high of 3.11% but declined thereafter and are likely tohave stayed under 3.00% up until the preparation of this report. Management believes that U.S. Treasury rates will slowly increase throughout the fourth quarter in anticipationremainder of a December2018 with more anticipated Federal Reserve rate increase. The trend of the U.S. leading economic indicators is more supportive of a Federal Reserve rate increase than they were earlier in the year.increases. Beyond interest rate movements, there are also a number of other factors that influence bond pricing including regulatory changes, financial performance of issuers, changes to credit rating of insurers of bonds, changes in market perception of certain classes of securities, and many more. Management monitors the changes in interest rates and other market influences to assist in management of the securities portfolio.

 

Any material increase in market interest rates would have a negative impact on the market value of the Corporation’s fixed income debt securities. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 91.6% of the Corporation’s debt securities were fixed rate securities with the other 8.4% variable rate. The variable rate instruments generally experience very little impact to valuation based on a change in rates, whereas the impact of an increase in market interest rates will vary on the fixed rate securities according to thetype of bond, length and structure of each sector. The Federal Reserve increased the Fed funds rate by 25 basis points in December of 2015, December of 2016, March of 2017, and June of 2017, with the likelihood of an additional increase in December of 2017. While management is planning for mid-term and long-term interest rates to increase throughout the remainder of 2017, it is possible they would not increase to the same magnitude that short-term rates will increase resulting in an even flatter yield curve. The municipal bond sector is the largest of the portfolio and, as a result, management will closely monitor the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield due to its impact on these securities. The other sectors of the portfolio have shorter lives and duration and would be more influenced by the 2-year and 5-year U.S. Treasury rates. It is anticipated that the current unrealized losses could grow if market rates do increase during the remainder of the year, either in anticipation of a Federal Reserve rate move, or after the next rate move.instrument.

 

After four consecutive quarters of declines ending on September 30, 2016, theThe Corporation’s effective duration increased in the final two quarters of 2016 and first quarter of 2017 due primarily to a higher level of municipal bonds in the securities portfolio. However, due to selective sales of longer duration securities, the duration did declinedecreased slightly in the second and third quartersquarter of 2017.2018, from 3.5 to 3.3. Effective duration is a measurement of the length of the securities portfolio with a higher level indicating more length and more exposure to an increase in interest rates. The securities portfolio base case effective duration was as low as 2.84.1 as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. Since then it has increaseddecreased to 3.3 as of September 30, 2017.2017, and December 31, 2017, and increased only slightly to 3.5 as of March 31, 2018. Duration is expected to remain stable or decline slightly throughout the remainder of 2017.2018. The Corporation sold a number of longer municipal holdings in the fourth quarter of 2017 resulting in a lower effective duration. It will be more difficult to reduce duration materially since management has increasedthroughout the percentageremainder of municipal holdings2018 as the pass-through structures of MBS and CMO instruments typically lengthen in the portfolio. While the percentageperiods of longer duration municipal bonds has grown, the types of new municipal bond instruments being purchased generally have better rates-up performance than those municipal bonds being sold. Therefore, the same duration can be maintained despite a higher element of municipal securities.rising rates as principal payments slow. Management also continues to utilize a large cash position outside of the portfolio, as well as lower duration corporate bonds to offset the duration of the longer municipal bonds.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Management’s actions to maintain reasonable effective duration of the securities portfolio are part of a broader asset liability plan to continually work to mitigate future interest rate risk and fair value risk to the Corporation. Part of that strategy is to retain higher levels of cash and cash equivalents to increase liquidity and provide an immediate hedge against higher interest rates and fair value risk. However, despite taking actions to mitigate the Corporation’s future risk, these risks are inherent to the banking model. Unrealized gains and losses on securities will vary significantly according to market forces. Management’s focus will continue to be on the long-term performance of these securities. While management has and will continue to take gains from the portfolio when opportunities exist, the broader securities strategy remains to buy and hold debt securities until maturity. Because market interest rates were generally rising since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, there was less opportunity to realize gains from the sales of securities did decline significantly.and therefore activity declined. As a result, gains from the sales of securities were down significantly for both the second quarter and first six months of 2018 compared to the prior year’s periods.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation typically invests excess liquidity into securities, primarily fixed-income bonds. The securities portfolio provides interest and dividend income to supplement the interest income on loans. Additionally, the securities portfolio assists in the management of both liquidity risk and interest rate risk. In order to provide maximum flexibility for management of liquidity and interest rate risk, the securities portfolio is classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. Management adjusts the value of all the Corporation’s securities on a monthly basis to fair market value as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Management has the ability and intent to hold all debt securities until maturity, and does not generally record impairment on bonds that are currently valued below book value.maturity. In addition to the fixed-income bonds, the Corporation’s equity holdings consist of a small CRA-qualified mutual fund with a book value of $5.3 million. The CRA fund is a Small Business Association (SBA) variable rate fund with a stable dollar price. The Corporation also has a small portfolio of bank stocks with a book value of $307,000$368,000 and fair market value of $368,000$396,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017. The equity holdings make up 1.8% of the Corporation’s securities available for sale.2018.

 

All securities, bonds, and equity holdings are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. Should any impairment occur, management would write down the security to a fair market value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, with the amount of the write down recorded as a loss on securities.

 

Each quarter, management sets portfolio allocation guidelines and adjusts the security portfolio strategy generally based on the following factors:

 

·ALCO positions as to liquidity, credit risk, interest rate risk, and fair value risk
·Growth of the loan portfolio
·Slope of the U.S. Treasury curve
·Relative performance of the various instruments, including spread to U.S. Treasuries
·Duration and average length of the portfolio
·Volatility of the portfolio
·Direction of interest rates
·Economic factors impacting debt securities

 

The investment policy of the Corporation imposes guidelines to ensure diversification within the portfolio. The diversity specifications provide opportunities to shorten or lengthen duration, maximize yield, and mitigate credit risk. The composition of the securities portfolio based on fair market value is shown in the following table.

Since September of 2016, the most significant change occurring within the Corporation’s securities portfolio was an increase in U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), and a decrease in U.S. government agency securities.

The Corporation’s U.S. government agency sector decreasedincreased by $4.4$5.0 million, or 13.4%17.5%, since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, with the weighting decreasedincreased from 11.1%9.1% of the portfolio to 8.9%10.8%. In the past, management’s goal was to maintain agency securities at approximately 15% of the securities portfolio. In the current rate environment, management is comfortable maintaining agencies at a level of approximately 10% of the portfolio. This sector is also important in maintaining adequate risk weightings of the portfolio, to ensure sufficient U.S. government securities for pledging purposes, and importantly to ladder out a schedule of agency and corporate maturities over the next 5 years to avoid any concentration of maturities. Next to U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agencies are viewed as the safest instruments and are considered by management as a foundational portion of the portfolio.

 

The Corporation’s U.S. agency MBS and CMO sectors have increaseddecreased in total since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and the weightings have changed with significantly more CMOs and only slightly moreless MBS as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The Corporation’s CMO portfolio has increased by $19.0$5.2 million, or 54.2%10.1%, while MBS balances have only increaseddecreased by $3.4$7.2 million, or 6.8%13.6%, when comparing SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, to balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. These two security types both consist of mortgage instruments that pay monthly interest and principal, however the behavior of the two types vary according to the structure of the mortgage pool or CMO instrument. Management desires to maintain a substantial amount of MBS and CMOs in order to assist in adding to and maintaining a stable five-year ladder of cash flows, which is important in providing stable liquidity and interest rate risk positions. Unlike the typical U.S. agency paper, corporate bonds, and obligations of states and political subdivisions, which only pay principal at final maturity, the U.S. agency MBS and CMO securities pay contractual monthly principal and interest, but are also subject to additional prepayment of principal. The combined effect of all of these instruments paying monthly principal and interest provides the Corporation with a significant and reasonably stable base cash flow.flow of approximately $1.5 million. Cash flows coming off of MBS and CMOs do slow down and speed up as interest rates increase or decrease, which has an impact on the portfolio’s length and yield. As interest rates decline, prepayment of principal on securities increases, the duration of the security shortens, and the yield declines as more amortization is required on premium bonds. When interest rates increase, the opposite of this occurs. Despite the fluctuations that occur in terms of monthly cash flow as a result of changing prepayment speeds, the monthly cash flow generated by U.S. agency MBS and CMO securities is reasonably stable and as a group is significant,material, and helps to soften or smooth out the Corporation’s total monthly cash flow from all securities.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the fair value of the Corporation’s corporate bonds increased by $3.2$7.1 million, or 6.0%13.1%, from balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Like any security, corporate bonds have both positive and negative qualities and management must evaluate these securities on a risk versus reward basis. Corporate bonds add diversity to the portfolio and provide strong yields for short maturities; however, by their very nature, corporate bonds carry a high level of credit risk should the entity experience financial difficulties. Management stands to possibly lose the entire principal amount if the entity that issued the corporate paper fails. As a result of the higher level of credit risk taken by purchasing a corporate bond, management has in place procedures to closely analyze the financial health of the company as well as policy guidelines. The guidelines include both maximum investment by issuer and minimal credit ratings that must be met in order for management to purchase a corporate bond. Financial analysis is conducted prior to every corporate bond purchase with ongoing monitoring performed on all securities held.

 

Obligations of states and political subdivisions, or municipal bonds, are tax-free securities that generally provide the highest yield in the securities portfolio. They also carry the longest duration on average of any instrument in the securities portfolio. In the prolonged period of historically low interest rates, the municipal bond sector has far outperformed all other sectors of the portfolio. Municipal tax-equivalent yields generally start well above other taxable bonds. These instruments also experience significant fair market value gains and losses when interest rates decrease and increase. However, due to the decrease in the Federal tax rate as enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, municipal yields do not outperform the other segments of the securities portfolio to the same degree as years prior to 2018. While the tax-equivalent yields are still good, the benefit of the tax-free income was impacted resulting in the sales of a number of municipal bonds in the fourth quarter of 2017. Due to purchases,these sales, the fair market value of municipal holdings has increaseddecreased by $1.7$21.8 million, or 1.4%17.6%, from SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 to SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. Municipal bonds represented 37.9%32.6% of the securities portfolio as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, compared to 40.2%39.1% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The Corporation’s investment policy limits municipal holdings to 125% of Tier 2 capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, municipal holdings amounted to 109%90% of Tier 2 capital.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

By policy, management is to identify and recommend whether to hold or sell securities with credit ratings that have fallen below minimum policy credit ratings required at the time of purchase, or below investment grade. Management monitors the security ratings on a monthly basis and reviews quarterly with the Board of Directors. Management, with Board approval, determines whether it is in the Corporation’s best interest to continue to hold any security that has fallen below policy guidelines or below investment grade based on the expectation of recovery of market value or improved performance. At this time management has elected, and the Board has approved, holding all securities that have fallen below initial policy guidelines. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, no securities have fallen below investment grade.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, nineteen2018, thirty-two of the thirty-threethirty-four corporate securities held by the Corporation showed an unrealized holding loss. These securities with unrealized holding losses were valued at 99.1%97.4% of book value. The Corporation’s investment policy requires that corporate bonds have a minimum credit rating of A3 by Moody’s or A- by S&P or Fitch at the time of purchase, or an average or composite rating of A-. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, all but threetwo of the corporate bonds had at least one A3 or A- rating by one of the two predominate credit rating services, Moody’s and S&P. The three unrelatedThese two corporate bonds withwere from the same issuer and had a total book value of $6.7$3.1 million, and did not have an A3 or A- rating as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. These bonds were all rated Moody’s Baa1 and S&P BBB+, which are two levels above the minimum required to be considered investment grade. Management conducts ongoing monitoring of these bonds and has chosen to continue to hold these bonds with Board approval. In addition, there are twelveeleven corporate bond instruments that have split ratings with the highest rating within the Corporation’s initial purchase policy guidelines and the lower rating outside of management guidelines, but all are still investment grade. The twelveeleven bonds have a book value of $20.0$20.1 million with a $57,000$605,000 unrealized loss, or 3.0% decline, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. Management conducts ongoing monitoring of these bonds with the Board approving holding these securities on a quarterly basis. Currently, there are no indications that any of these bonds would discontinue contractual payments.

 

The Corporation’s investment policy requires that municipal bonds not carrying insurance have a minimum credit rating of A3 by Moody’s or A- by S&P or Fitch at the time of purchase. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, no municipal bonds carried a credit rating under these levels.

 

As a result of the fallout of the financial crisis, the major rating services have tightened their credit underwriting standards and are quicker to downgrade municipalities when financial conditions deteriorate. Additionally, the prolonged weak economy has reduced revenue streams for many municipalities and has called into question the basic premise that municipalities have unlimited power to tax, i.e. the ability to raise taxes to compensate for revenue shortfalls. As a result of this environment, management utilizes several municipal surveillance reports and engages an independent non-brokerage service third party to perform enhanced municipal credit evaluation. Management will typically sell municipal securities if negative trends in financial performance are found and/or ratings have declined to levels deemed unacceptable. As a result of the above monitoring and actions taken to proactively sell weaker municipal credits, the Corporation’s entire municipal bond portfolio consists of investment grade credits.

 

The entire securities portfolio is reviewed monthly for credit risk and evaluated quarterly for possible impairment. The Corporation’s municipal and corporate bonds present the largest credit risk and highest likelihood for any possible impairment. Due to the ability for corporate credit situations to change rapidly and ongoing nationwide concerns of pension obligations impacting municipalities, management is closely monitoring all corporate and municipal securities.

Commercial real estate loans saw a declineminimal increase in balances with increases in consumer real estate loansfrom June 30, 2017 and commercial and industrial loans more than offsetting this decrease.

In the consumer real estate sector, 1-4 family residential mortgages increased due to the expansion of the Corporation’s mortgage division and successful efforts to expand the product line and increase the sales force to capture a greater share of the local mortgage market.

Traditional 10 to 20-year personal1-4 family residential mortgages originated from and held by the Corporation have consistently been the largest single product of the Corporation’s loan portfolio. During 20162017 and through the first ninesix months of 2017,2018, the Corporation experienced significant increases in both portfolio and secondary market production. The growth was driven by a favorable refinancing and new construction housing market with continued historically low mortgage rates. By the second quarter of 2017, the mortgage unit of the Bank was fully staffed and some additional origination lines had been established with other partnering PA banks, resulting in more mortgage production. The Bank’s hiring of several experienced loan originators in early 2017 has resulted in over 50% of mortgage volume coming from external referral sources such as builders or realtors. Management has also benefited from a full line of adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) that were highly sought after by customers. The volume of residential mortgage production since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, led to an 18.1%a 15.8% increase in 1-4 family residential mortgage balances along with a significant shift from fixed rate loans to interim adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs),the ARMs climbing from 26%30% of the residential loan portfolio as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, to 36%41% at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. This shift in production has decreased the Bank’s interest rate risk profile and this trend is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2017.2018. Total personal residential mortgage balances increased by $25.9$26.3 million, or 18.1%15.8%, from September 30, 2016 to SeptemberJune 30, 2017, to June 30, 2018, and $18.7$16.2 million, or 12.5%9.1%, from December 31, 20162017, to SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Second mortgages and home equity loans, fixed or variable rate, make up the remainder of the Corporation’s residential real estate loans. The purposes of these loans can vary but for this analysis the loan type and form of lien and collateral govern the placement of these loans under home equity loans. Requests for fixed-rate home equity loans have been very light during this prolonged period of historically low rates, while home equity lines of credit, which float on the Prime rate, have been the preferred home equity financing. The growth of the Corporation’s home equity lines of credit acceleratedwas strong during 20162017 and then slowed down in the first ninesix months of 20172018 as a result of higher interest rates resulting in fewer new lines as well as less draws on existing lines. The Corporation does offer an attractive HomeLine product with a low introductory rate on home equity lines of credit which is currently set at 2.99%. This introductory rate was 1.99% for six months.until February of 2018 when it was increased due to the increase in short-term rates that has happened over the course of the past seven Federal Reserve rate increases. After thatthe six-month introductory period, the home equity line would revertreverts to Prime or Prime plus a margin depending on the strength of the borrower. Home equity lines of credit increased from $50.3$57.1 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, to $58.0$62.9 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, a $7.7$5.8 million, or 15.3%10.2% increase.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation continues to offer the low 1.99% six-month introductory rate on the HomeLine product and expects similarslower growth to occur throughout the remainder of 2017. This trend is likely2018 as interest rates continue to slow down if the Prime rate continuesrise and consumers turn to increase over time.fixed rates to fulfill their funding needs. It is expected that when the Federal Reserve acts to increase the overnight rate again, and the Prime rate increases, the reaction will be that floating rate loans will become less attractive to borrowers who will act to protect themselves against further rate increases by converting to a fixed rate loan. Since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the fixed rate home equity loans have increaseddecreased by $0.9 million, or 8.7%7.9%, and are expected to increase slightly throughout the remainder of 20172018 given the likelihood of one more Federal Reserve rate increase.increases. Management anticipates moderate growth in the residential real estate area throughout the remainder of 20172018 as longer term rates have remained lower than anticipated and management continues to add resources in an effort to further expand the mortgage department, which remains an area of strategic focus for the Corporation.

 

Commercial loansloan balances not secured by real estate are significantly smaller than the Corporation’s commercial loansloan balances secured by real estate portfolio. These commercial and industrial loans, referred to as C&I loans, are generally extended based on the health of the commercial borrower. They include both fixed rate loans and Prime-based variable rate loans. The variable rate loans are generally in the form of a business line of credit. The Corporation’s security position as to these loans can be further strengthened by obtaining the personal guarantees of the owners. This is a preferred approach to commercial accounts as it allows the Corporation to pursue assets of the owner in addition to assets of the commercial entity. Management can also obtain additional collateral by securing the inventory of the business. The portfolio of all types of C&I loans showed an increase of $7.3$10.4 million, or 10.0%13.4%, from SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 to SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, this category of commercial loans was made up of $41.7$47.5 million of C&I loans (outside of tax-free and agricultural loans), $19.6$21.8 million of tax-free loans, and $18.5$18.2 million of agriculture loans. In the case of the Corporation, all of the $19.6$21.8 million of tax-free loans are to local municipalities. C&I loans remained unchangedincreased by $5.2 million, or 12.3% since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, tax-free loans increased by $8.1$5.0 million, or 70.9%29.8%, and agriculture loans decreasedincreased by $0.9$0.1 million, or 4.5%0.6%, compared to balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The increase in tax-free loans occurred as a result of scheduled draws on tax-free loans to several municipalities originated in 2016.2016 and 2017.

 

The consumer loan portfolio increased to $5.2$10.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, from $4.7$5.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Consumer loans made up 0.9%1.6% of total loans on SeptemberJune 30, 2018, and 0.9% on June 30, 2017. The increase in consumer loans since June 30, 2017, and 0.8%was primarily due to a $5.0 million consumer purpose loan made to a high net worth customer in the second quarter of loans on September 30, 2016.2018. The long-term trend over the past decade has seen homeowners turning to the equity in their homes to finance cars and education rather than traditional consumer loans for those expenditures.that are generally unsecured. The new $5.0 million consumer loan was secured. Slightly higher demand for unsecured credit is just slightly outpacing principal payments on existing loans resulting in the small increase in balances. Management anticipates that the Corporation’s level of consumer loans will likely remain stable as a percentage of the portfolio, as the need for additional unsecured credit is generally offset by those borrowers wishing to reduce debt levels and move away from the higher cost of unsecured financing relative to other forms of real estate secured financing.

The decreaseincrease from the prior year was primarily due to lowerhigher levels of non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more partially offset by the addition ofnonaccrual loans. The Corporation has one agriculture loan that was restructured in the second quarter of 2017 that is now considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). The loan is considered a TDR because the borrower was granted a six-month interest-only period on this loan. The decrease in non-accrual loans was due to pay downs received on a business mortgage causing a reduction in outstanding balance on this loan. Additionally, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing decreased by $412,000 primarily due to loans that were previously past due being brought current due to payments received. Management continues to monitor delinquency trends and the level of non-performing loans closely. At this time, management believes that the potential for material losses related to non-performing loans is increasing with the level of classified loans increasing from the lower levelsdelinquencies slightly higher than those experienced in 2016.2017.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is established to cover any losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance each quarter based upon a detailed analysis and calculation of the allowance for loan losses. This calculation is based upon a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The calculation includes estimates and is based upon losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance calculation includes specific provisions for under-performing loans and general allocations to cover anticipated losses on all loan types based on historical losses. The calculation is also influenced by nine qualitative factors that are adjusted on a quarterly basis as needed. Based on the quarterly loan loss calculation, management will adjust the allowance for loan losses through the provision as necessary. Changes to the allowance for loan losses during the year are primarily affected by five main factors:

 

·Historical loan losses
·Qualitative factor adjustments including levels of delinquent and non-performing loans
·Growth trends of the loan portfolio
·Recovery of loans previously charged off
·Provision for loan losses

 

Strong credit and collateral policies have been instrumental in producing a favorable history of loan losses for the Corporation. The Allowance for Loan Losses table below shows the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. At the bottom of the table, two benchmark percentages are shown. The first is net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding for the year.

Management typically charges off unsecured debt over 90 days delinquent with little likelihood of recovery. In the first ninesix months of 20172018, the Corporation charged off $224,000 related to a single commercial borrower and 2016,$100,000 related to a separate commercial borrower. In the first six months of 2017, only small loans classified as commercial and industrial loans as well as several small consumer loans were charged off. Recoveries exceeded charge-offs in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, as well as 2016. In 2017, several recoveries on commercial and industrial loans as well as consumer loans were received and in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a large commercial and industrial recovery was received as well as small real estate and consumer recoveries resulting in the net recovery position for the year-to-date periods.2017.

 

The allowance as a percentage of total loans represents the portion of the total loan portfolio for which an allowance has been provided. Management regularly reviews the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio and the impact that current economic trends have on the Corporation’s loans. The financial industry typically evaluates the quality of loans on a scale with “unclassified” representing healthy loans, “special mention” being the first indication of credit concern, and several successive classified ratings indicating further credit declines of “substandard,” “doubtful,” and, ultimately, “loss.”

 

The Corporation’s level of classified loans on SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, was up $7.1down $9.6 million, or 51.1%37.5%, from the balance as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The Corporation’s total classified loans based on outstanding balances were $21.0$16.0 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $14.22018, $16.6 million as of December 31, 2016,2017, and $13.9$25.6 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Total classified loans did notlast materially increase untilincreased in the first quarter of 2017 when a large business relationship with over $5 million of loan balances was classified as substandard. In addition, a $2 million agricultural relationship was also placed on substandard in March 2017. These two reclassifications were responsible for a $7 million increaseHowever, in classified loans from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. In April of 2017, the Corporation received a $1.7 million payoff on the $2 million substandard agricultural relationship. Classified loans grew further in the second quarter as two agricultural relationships with balances of $3.3 million were classified as substandard, along with two business customers with $2 million of loan balances. During the third quarter of 2017, payoffs were received on two classified loan relationships resulting in a decline inwhich materially reduced the level of classified loans. Since then, classified loans betweenhave remained at lower levels for the past three quarters ending June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2017.2018.

 

Having more loans in a classified status could result in a larger allowance as higher amounts of projected historical losses and qualitative factors are attached to these loans. In addition to this impact, management performs a specific allocation test on these classified loans. There was $98,000$79,000 of specifically allocated allowance against the classified loans as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and no specific allocation as of December 31, 2016,2017, or SeptemberJune 30, 2016. Classified loans could require larger provision amounts due to a higher potential risk of loss, so2017. Typically, as the classified loan balances fluctuate, the associated specific allowance applied to them fluctuates, resulting in a lower or higher required allowance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans outstanding indicates the percentage of the Corporation’s total loan portfolio that has been charged off during the period, after reducing charge-offs by recoveries. The Corporation continues to experience very low net charge-off percentages due to strong credit practices. Forpractices even though charge-offs in the first ninesix months of 2017 and 2016, there2018 were more recoverieshigher than charge-offs resulting in a net recovery position.2017. Management continually monitors delinquencies, classified loans, and non-performing loans closely in regard to how they may impact charge-offs in the future. Management does anticipate charging off one commercial loan in the fourth quarter of 2017 that was on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2017. Management anticipates that charge-off to be approximately $275,000. The particular business has not been operating since 2016 and the property is expected to go to sheriff sale in the first quarter of 2018. Management is not aware of any other significant charge-offs that couldwill occur in the fourth quarterremainder of 2017.2018, but it is likely that a few smaller balance loans will need to be charged-off. Management practices are in place to reduce the number and severity of losses. In regard to severely delinquent loans, management attempts to improve the Corporation’s collateral or credit position and, in the case of a loan workout, intervene to minimize additional charge-offs.

 

The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.37%1.30% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, 1.32%2018, 1.38% as of December 31, 2016,2017, and 1.31%1.35% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. Management anticipates that the allowance percentage will remain fairly stable during the remainder of 2017,2018, as the allowance balance is increased with additional provision expense to account for loan growth throughout the year. It is typical for the allowance for loan losses to contain a small amount of excess reserves. Management desires that the amount of excess reserve in the allowance for loan losses be maintained between 5% and 10%. The excess reserve stood at 5.8%7.0% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.

Fixed assets increased as a result of the Corporation’s eleventhtwelfth full-service branch office opened in Morgantown, PA and the limited-service location opened in Georgetown, PA, both in the third quarter of 2016. Additionally, fixed assets increased due to assets deployed at a temporary location opened in Strasburg, PA and the land purchased to build the permanent location also in Strasburg, PA, both in the first quarter of 2017. Premises and equipment, specifically construction in process, will continue to grow during 2017 as construction proceeds on the Corporation’s new Strasburg, PA branch office.

Regulatory Stock

 

The Corporation owns multiple forms of regulatory stock that is required in order to be a member of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and members of banks such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (ACBB). The Corporation’s $6.1$6.3 million of regulatory stock holdings as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, consisted of $5.9$6.1 million of FHLB of Pittsburgh stock, $151,000 of FRB stock, and $37,000 of Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc. stock, the Bank Holding Company of ACBB. All of these stocks are valued at a stable dollar price, which is the price used to purchase or liquidate shares; therefore, the investment is carried at book value and there is no fair market value adjustment.

 

The Corporation’s investment in FHLB stock is required for membership in the organization. The amount of stock required is dependent upon the relative size of outstanding FHLB borrowings and mortgage activity. Excess stock is typically repurchased from the Corporation at par if the borrowings decline to a predetermined level. The Corporation’s FHLB stock position was $5.9$6.1 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $5.22018, $5.6 million on December 31, 2016,2017, and $5.0$5.3 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, with no excess capital stock position. Any future stock repurchases would be the result of lower borrowing balances. Stock repurchases by the FHLB occur every quarter.

 

The FHLB of Pittsburgh has paid a quarterly dividend since the resumption of their dividend in the first quarter of 2012. In 2017, the first two quarters of 2016, FHLB dividend yield was 5.00% annualized on activity stock and 3.00%2.00% annualized on membership stock. The stock declarations made by FHLB of Pittsburgh in the thirdfirst and fourthsecond quarters of 2016 and the first, second, and third quarters of 2017, is2018, were at a 5.00%6.75% annualized yield on activity stock and 2.00%3.50% annualized yield on membership stock. Most of the Corporation’s dividend is based on the activity stock, which is based on the amount of borrowings and mortgage activity with FHLB. Management continues to monitor the financial condition of the FHLB quarterly to assess its ability to continue to regularly repurchase excess capital stock and pay a dividend.

Customer deposits are the Corporation’s primary source of funding for loans and securities. In the past few years, the economic concerns and volatility of the equity markets continued to lead customers to banks for safe places to invest money, despite historically low interest rates. The mix of the Corporation’s deposit categories has changed moderately since SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, with the changes being a $41.1$30.4 million, or 15.8%10.3% increase in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, a $2.5$1.4 million, or 11.6% decrease7.9% increase in interest bearing demand accounts, a $13.7$5.4 million, or 14.9% decrease6.5% increase in NOW balances, a $13.1$3.0 million, or 15.3%3.0% increase in money market balances, a $21.1$9.9 million, or 12.6%5.2% increase in savings account balances, and a $9.8$13.0 million, or 6.2%8.6% decrease in time deposit balances.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation has been a stable presence in the local market area that has experienced several large bank mergers.mergers over the past several years. Three new convenient locations were added since 2016, significantly expanding the Corporation’s footprint, with a presence in three counties with a total of thirteen branch locations. The Corporation has a history of offering very competitive interest rates and fair and understandable service fees as well as attractive interest rates because of a strong commitment to the customers and the communities that it serves. Management has always priced products and services in a manner that makes them affordable for all customers. This in turn creates a high degree of customer loyalty and a stable deposit base. Additionally, as financial institutions have come under increased scrutiny from both regulators and customers, the Corporation has maintained an outstanding reputation. Management believes the Corporation’s deposit base has benefited as a result of a growing desire by customers to seek a longstanding, reliable institution as a partner to meet their financial needs.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Time deposits are typically a more rate-sensitive product, making them a source of funding that is prone to balance variations depending on the interest rate environment and how the Corporation’s time deposit rates compare with the local market rates. Time deposits fluctuate as consumers search for the best rates in the market, with less allegiance to any particular financial institution. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, time deposit balances, excluding brokered deposits, had decreased $7.9$7.3 million, or 5.0%, and $9.8$13.0 million, or 6.2%8.6%, from December 31, 20162017 and SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, respectively. The Corporation has experienced a slow and steady shift in deposit trends over the past five years as customers have moved money from time deposits into core checking and savings accounts. With minimal differences between shorter term CD rates and interest bearing non-maturity deposits, customers are more inclined to accumulate their funds in a liquid account that can be accessed at any time. This has resulted in declining time deposit balances and more significant growth in the core deposit areas. More recently, the declines in time deposits have been the result of customers seeking higher available market interest rates as more financial institutions begin offering time deposit specials. Management anticipates that the recent declines in time deposits will likely continue untilas interest rates increase and cause more of a separation between longer-term rates and overnight rates.increase.

 

Time deposits have FDIC insurance coverage insuring no loss of principal up to $250,000 per account, based on certain account structures. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the $250,000 FDIC insurance coverage on all deposit accounts was made permanent. This has caused an increase in the percentage of time deposits over $100,000 held by the Corporation. While total time deposits continue to decline in the present environment, the percentage of time deposits over $100,000 compared to total time deposits has increased and is expected to remain at these higher percentages due to the FDIC coverage.

 

 

Borrowings

 

Total borrowings were $68.4$71.1 million, $69.6$65.9 million, and $75.8$69.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, December 31, 2016,2017, and SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, respectively. Of these amounts, $8.3$2.7 million, and $12.1$4.2 million reflect short-term funds for December 31, 2016,June 30, 2018, and SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, respectively, with no short-term funds outstanding as of September 30,December 31, 2017. Short-term funds are used for immediate liquidity needs and are not typically part of an ongoing liquidity or interest rate risk strategy; therefore, they fluctuate more rapidly. When short-term funds are used, they are purchased through correspondent and member bank relationships as overnight borrowings or through the FHLB for terms less than one year.

 

Total long-term borrowings, borrowings initiated for terms longer than one year, were $68.4 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $61.32018, $65.9 million as of December 31, 2016,2017, and $63.8$64.9 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The long-term borrowings for the Corporation were made up entirely of FHLB long-term advances at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, December 31, 2016,2017, and SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. FHLB advances are used as a secondary source of funding and to mitigate interest rate risk. These long-term funding instruments are typically a more effective funding instrument in terms of selecting the exact amount, rate, and term of funding rather than trying to source the same through deposits. In this manner, management can efficiently meet known liquidity and interest rate risk needs. Over the course of the past few years, the Corporation has minimally changed the ladder of long-term FHLB borrowings, by replacing maturing advances with new long-term advances typically at rate savings. More recently, with interest rates rising, it is becoming increasingly difficult to fundAfter seven Federal Reserve rate increases and a higher but flatter U.S. Treasury curve, all new borrowings are being initiated at rates lower than the maturing borrowings.higher interest rates. Management will continue to analyze and compare the costs and benefits of borrowing versus obtaining funding from deposits.

 

In order to limit the Corporation’s exposure and reliance to a single funding source, the Corporation’s Asset Liability Policy sets a goal of maintaining the amount of borrowings from the FHLB to 15% of asset size. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation was significantly under this policy guideline at 6.8% of asset size with $68.4$71.1 million of total FHLB borrowings. The Corporation also has a policy that limits total borrowings from all sources to 150% of the Corporation’s capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation was significantly under this policy guideline at 67.8%72.0% of capital with $68.4$71.1 million total borrowings from all sources. The Corporation has maintained FHLB borrowings and total borrowings well within these policy guidelines throughout all of 20162017 and through the first ninesix months of 2017.2018.

Stockholders’ Equity

 

Federal regulatory authorities require banks to meet minimum capital levels. The Corporation, as well as the Bank, as the solely owned subsidiary of the Corporation, maintains capital ratios well above those minimum levels. The risk-weighted capital ratios are calculated by dividing capital by total risk-weighted assets. Regulatory guidelines determine the risk-weighted assets by assigning assets to specific risk-weighted categories. The calculation of tier I capital to risk-weighted average assets does not include an add-back to capital for the amount of the allowance for loan losses, thereby making this ratio lower than the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio.

 

The following tables reflect the capital ratios for the Corporation and Bank compared to the regulatory capital requirements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Dividends play a vital role in the management of capital levels of the Corporation. Management seeks a balance between maintaining a sufficient cushion of excess capital above regulatory limits versus the payment of dividends to the shareholders as a direct return of their investment. Due to a constant stream of stable earnings, the payment of a dividend is needed to maintain capital at acceptable levels in order to provide an adequate return of equity to the shareholders.

 

The Corporation’s dividends per share for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, were $0.84, 3.7% higher than$0.57, a 1.8% increase over the $0.81 per share dividend$0.56 paid out in the first ninesix months of 2016.2017. Dividends are paid from current earnings and available retained earnings. The Corporation’s current capital plan calls for management to maintain tier I capital to average assets between 10.0% and 12.0%. The Corporation’s current tier I capital ratio is 10.2%10.1%. As a secondary measurement, the capital plan also targets a long-term dividend payout ratio in the range of 35% to 40%. This ratio will vary according to income, but over the long term, the Corporation’s goal is to maintain and target a payout ratio within this range. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the payout ratio was 41.8%.32.9% due to the higher earnings as a result of BOLI income. Management’s goal is to maintain all regulatory capital ratios at current levels. Future dividend payout ratios are dependent on the future level of earnings and other factors that impact the level of capital.

 

The amount of unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio is reflected, net of tax, as an adjustment to capital, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the capital section of the consolidated balance sheet. An unrealized gain increases capital, while an unrealized loss reduces capital. This requirement takes the position that, if the Corporation liquidated the securities portfolio at the end of each period, the current unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio would directly impact the Corporation’s capital. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation showed an unrealized loss, net of tax, of $2,232,000,$6,778,000, compared to an unrealized loss of $4,885,000$3,195,000 at December 31, 2016,2017, and an unrealized gainloss of $1,221,000$1,852,000 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. These unrealized gains and losses, net of tax are excluded from capital when calculating the tier I capital to average assets numbers above. The amount of unrealized gain or loss on the securities portfolio, shown net of tax, as an adjustment to capital, does not include any actual impairment taken on securities, which is shown as a reduction to income on the Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income. No impairment was recorded in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, or in the same prior year period. The changes in unrealized gains and losses are due to normal changes in market valuations of the Corporation’s securities as a result of interest rate movements.

 

 

Regulatory Capital Changes

 

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies issued final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The phase-in period for community banking organizations began January 1, 2015, while larger institutions (generally those with assets of $250 billion or more) began compliance on January 1, 2014. The final rules call for the following capital requirements:

 

·A minimum ratio of common equity tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%.
·A minimum ratio of tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 6%.
·A minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%.
·A minimum leverage ratio of 4%.

 

In addition, the final rules established a common equity tier I capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets applicable to all banking organizations. If a banking organization fails to hold capital above the minimum capital ratios and the capital conservation buffer, it will be subject to certain restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The phase-in period for the capital conservation and countercyclical capital buffers for all banking organizations began on January 1, 2016.

 

Under the initially proposed rules, accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) would have been included in a banking organization’s common equity tier I capital. The final rule allows community banks to make a one-time election not to include these additional components of AOCI in regulatory capital and instead use the existing treatment under the general risk-based capital rules that excludes most AOCI components from regulatory capital. The opt-out election was made by the Corporation with the filing of the first quarter Call Report as of March 31, 2015.

The final rules permanently grandfather non-qualifying capital instruments (such as trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock) issued before May 19, 2010 for inclusion in the tier I capital of banking organizations with total consolidated assets less than $15 billion as of December 31, 2009, and banking organizations that were mutual holding companies as of May 19, 2010. The Corporation does not have trust preferred securities or cumulative perpetual preferred stock with no plans to add these to the capital structure.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The proposed rules would have also modified the risk-weight framework applicable to residential mortgage exposures to require banking organizations to divide residential mortgage exposures into two categories in order to determine the applicable risk weight. In response to commenter concerns about the burden of calculating the risk weights and the potential negative effect on credit availability, the final rules do not adopt the proposed risk weights but retain the current risk weights for mortgage exposures under the general risk-based capital rules.

 

Consistent with the Dodd-Frank Act, the new rules replace the ratings-based approach to securitization exposures, which was based on external credit ratings, with the simplified supervisory formula approach in order to determine the appropriate risk weights for these exposures. Alternatively, banking organizations may use the existing gross-up approach to assign securitization exposures to a risk weight category or choose to assign such exposures a 1,250 percent risk weight. The Corporation does not securitize assets and has no plans to do so.

 

Under the new rules, mortgage servicing assets (MSAs) and certain deferred tax assets (DTAs) are subject to stricter limitations than those applicable under the previous general risk-based capital rule. The new rules also increased the risk weights for past-due loans, certain commercial real estate loans, and some equity exposures, and made selected other changes in risk weights and credit conversion factors.

 

Management has evaluated the impact of the above rules on levels of the Corporation’s capital. The final rulings were more favorable in terms of the items that would have a more significant impact to the Corporation and community banks in general. Specifically, the AOCI final ruling, which would have had the greatest negative impact to capital, provided the Corporation with an opt-out provision. The final ruling on the risk weightings of mortgages was favorable and did not have a material negative impact. The rulings as to trust preferred securities, preferred stock, and securitization of assets are not applicable to the Corporation, and presently the revised treatment of MSAs is not material to capital. The remaining changes to risk weightings on several items mentioned above such as past-due loans and certain commercial real estate loans do not have a material impact to capital presently, but could change as these levels change.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of business, the Corporation typically has off-balance sheet arrangements related to loan funding commitments. These arrangements may impact the Corporation’s financial condition and liquidity if they were to be exercised within a short period of time. As discussed in the following liquidity section, the Corporation has in place sufficient liquidity alternatives to meet these obligations.

Significant Legislation

 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

 

In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) was signed into law. Dodd-Frank is intended to affect a fundamental restructuring of federal banking regulation. Among other things, Dodd-Frank creates a new Financial Stability Oversight Council to identify systemic risks in the financial system and gives federal regulators new authority to take control of and liquidate financial firms. Dodd-Frank additionally creates a new independent federal regulator to administer federal consumer protection laws. Dodd-Frank is expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s business operations as its provisions take effect. It is difficult to predict at this time what specific cumulative impact Dodd-Frank and the yet-to-be-written implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks. However, it is expected that, at a minimum, they will increase the Corporation’s operating and compliance costs and could increase interest expense. Among the provisions that have already or are likely to affect the Corporation are the following:

 

Holding Company Capital Requirements

Dodd-Frank requires the Federal Reserve to apply consolidated capital requirements to bank holding companies that are no less stringent than those currently applied to depository institutions. Under these standards, trust preferred securities will be excluded from tier I capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010, by a bank holding company with less than $15 billion in assets. Dodd-Frank additionally requires that bank regulators issue countercyclical capital requirements so that the required amount of capital increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction, are consistent with safety and soundness.

 

Deposit Insurance

Dodd-Frank permanently increased the maximum deposit insurance amount for banks, savings institutions, and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor. Additionally, on February 7, 2011, the Board of Directors of the FDIC approved a final rule based on the Dodd-Frank Act that revises the assessment base from one based on domestic deposits to one based on assets. This change, which was effective in April 2011, saved the Corporation a significant amount of FDIC insurance premiums from the significantly higher FDIC insurance premiums placed into effect after the financial crisis.

 

Corporate Governance

Dodd-Frank requires publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation at least every three years, a non-binding vote regarding the frequency of the vote on executive compensation at least every six years, and a non-binding vote on “golden parachute” payments in connection with approvals of mergers and acquisitions unless previously voted on by shareholders. The SEC has finalized the rules implementing these requirements which took effect on January 21, 2011. The Corporation was exempt from these requirements until January 21, 2013, due to its status as a smaller reporting company. Additionally, Dodd-Frank directs the federal banking regulators to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to executives of depository institutions and their holding companies with assets in excess of $1.0 billion, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded. Dodd-Frank also gives the SEC authority to prohibit broker discretionary voting on elections of directors and executive compensation matters.

 

Limits on Interchange Fees

Dodd-Frank amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.

 

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Dodd-Frank created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is granted broad rulemaking, supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Truth in Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Fair Debt Collection Act, the Consumer Financial Privacy Provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and certain other statutes. The CFPB has examination and primary enforcement authority with respect to depository institutions with $10 billion or more in assets. Smaller institutions will be subject to rules promulgated by the CFPB but will continue to be examined and supervised by federal banking regulators for consumer compliance purposes. The CFPB will have authority to prevent unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices in connection with the offering of consumer financial products. Dodd-Frank authorizes the CFPB to establish certain minimum standards for the origination of residential mortgages including a determination of the borrower’s ability to repay. In addition, Dodd-Frank will allow borrowers to raise certain defenses to foreclosure if they receive any loan other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined by the CFPB. Dodd-Frank permits states to adopt consumer protection laws and standards that are more stringent than those adopted at the federal level and, in certain circumstances, permits state attorneys general to enforce compliance with both the state and federal laws and regulations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Prohibition Against Charter Conversions of Troubled Institutions

Dodd-Frank prohibits a depository institution from converting from a state to federal charter or vice versa while it is the subject of a cease and desist order or other formal enforcement action or a memorandum of understanding with respect to a significant supervisory matter unless the appropriate federal banking agency gives notice of the conversion to the federal or state authority that issued the enforcement action and that agency does not object within 30 days. The notice must include a plan to address the significant supervisory matter. The converting institution must also file a copy of the conversion application with its current federal regulator which must notify the resulting federal regulator of any ongoing supervisory or investigative proceedings that are likely to result in an enforcement action and provide access to all supervisory and investigative information relating thereto.

 

Interstate Branching

Dodd-Frank authorizes national and state banks to establish branches in other states to the same extent as a bank chartered by that state would be permitted. Previously, banks could only establish branches in other states if the host state expressly permitted out-of-state banks to establish branches in that state. Accordingly, banks will be able to enter new markets more freely.

 

Limits on Interstate Acquisitions and Mergers

Dodd-Frank precludes a bank holding company from engaging in an interstate acquisition – the acquisition of a bank outside its home state – unless the bank holding company is both well capitalized and well managed. Furthermore, a bank may not engage in an interstate merger with another bank headquartered in another state unless the surviving institution will be well capitalized and well managed. The previous standard in both cases was adequately capitalized and adequately managed.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a financial institution, the Corporation is subject to three primary risks:

 

·Credit risk
·Liquidity risk
·Interest rate risk

 

The Board of Directors has established an Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) to measure, monitor, and manage these primary market risks. The Asset Liability Policy has instituted guidelines for all of these primary risks, as well as other financial performance measurements with target ranges. The Asset Liability goals and guidelines are consistent with the Strategic Plan goals related to financial performance.

 

Credit Risk

For discussion on credit risk refer to the sections in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis, on securities, non-performing assets, and allowance for loan losses.

 

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity refers to having an adequate supply of cash available to meet business needs. Financial institutions must ensure that there is adequate liquidity to meet a variety of funding needs, at a minimal cost. Minimal cost is an important component of liquidity. If a financial institution is required to take significant action to obtain funding, and is forced to utilize an expensive source, it has not properly planned for its liquidity needs. Funding new loans and covering deposit withdrawals are the primary liquidity needs of the Corporation. The Corporation uses a variety of funding sources to meet liquidity needs, such as:

 

·Deposits
·Loan repayments
·Maturities and sales of securities
·Borrowings from correspondent and member banks
·Brokered deposits
·Current earnings

 

As noted in the discussion on deposits, customers have historically provided the Corporation with a reliable and steadily increasing source of funds liquidity. The Corporation also has in place relationships with other banking institutions for the purpose of buying and selling Federal funds. The lines of credit with these institutions provide immediate sources of additional liquidity. The Corporation currently has unsecured lines of credit totaling $32 million. This does not include amounts available from member banks such as the Federal Reserve Discount Window or the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

 

Management uses a cumulative maturity gap analysis to measure the amount of assets maturing within various periods versus liabilities maturing in those same periods. A gap ratio of 100% represents an equal amount of assets and liabilities maturing in the same stated period. Management monitors six-month, one-year, three-year, and five-year cumulative gaps to assist in determining liquidity risk. The six-month, one-year, and one-yearthree-year gap ratios were within guidelines at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and the three and five-year gap ratios wereratio was higher than corporate policy guidelines due primarily to higher cash levels and faster loan prepayment speeds resulting in more assets maturing within the stated timeframes. The three-year ratio was 143.1%, and five-year was 142.1%135.3%, compared to upper policy guidelines of 125% and 115%, respectively.. All of the gap ratios are higherlower than the ratios as of December 31, 2016.2017. Given the fact that we are already in a rising interest rate cycle with the likelihood of higher rates in both the near and long term forecasts, the elevated gap ratios would be beneficial to the Corporation. Management believes the current gap ratios are appropriate and will continue to monitor all gap ratios to ensure proper positioning for future interest rate cycles.

 

Management has beenThrough the end of 2017, management was maintaining higher levels of cash and cash equivalents to assist in offsetting the Corporation’s relatively long securities portfolio, which hasportfolio. This higher cash helped to increase the gap ratios. The strategyHowever, with loans growing, cash and cash equivalents declined during the first six months of maintaining2018. While deposits have historically declined in the first quarter of every year, this year the decline lasted longer than in prior years and the recovery was not as marked as prior years, so deposit balances are higher than balances at December 31, 2017, but not growing at a rapid pace. Management believes that more options are available to deposit customers after seven Federal Reserve rate increases and it is likely the growth of deposits will not be as significant in 2018. Management desires to control the cost of funds and improve the loan to deposit ratio and does have a large securities portfolio to draw liquidity from in the event deposit growth does not return. In an effort to increase current income, management also deployed some cash into investments as taxable securities yields were more attractive due to the increases in U.S. Treasury rates. This also contributed to bringing cash levels down. Total cash and cash equivalents were $44.1 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to improve$53.1 million as of December 31, 2017, and $56.5 million as of June 30, 2017. With gap ratios that are already sufficiently high, management can put more of the available cash to work earning higher returns.

The securities portfolio is materially shorter in duration. The Corporation’s securities portfolio measurements of duration and price volatility had been increasing between the third quarter of 2016 andhas declined since the first quarter of 2017 due to the natural extension of MBS and CMO securities as interest rates rise, and the higher levels of long municipal securities held in the portfolio. However, the securities duration and price volatility did decline during the second and third quarters ofup through December 31, 2017, and are expected to decline further, due to selectiveaided by sales of longer duration municipal securities and natural aging of the portfolio. Since June 30,However, in the first six months of 2018, the duration and price volatility increased due to a sharper increase in the short end of the yield curve with moderate increases in U.S. Treasury rates. This caused the prepayments on MBS and CMOs to slow making the instruments longer. Therefore, the rate environment caused the portfolio to get longer. In the fourth quarter of 2017, management has beenbegan selling longer duration municipal bonds, and U.S. agencies, while purchasing shorter duration taxable securities including some floating rate instruments to better position the Corporation for higher rates. This strategy was also motivated by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which cut the corporate tax rate, causing the tax equivalent rate on municipal securities to decline, making these securities less attractive. Longer term municipal securities were already more exposed to sharp increases in interest rates. Without the higher tax-equivalent returns of the past, management desired to reduce the allocation of municipal bonds as a percentage of the portfolio.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

It is likely that short term rates will increase further during the remainder of 2017,2018, so management’s current position is to maintain high maturity gap percentages in preparation for higher rates, with a goal of reducing the 3 year and 5 year5-year gap ratiosratio once several additional Federal Reserve rate increases occur. Ideally, management would like to have all gap ratios back within guidelines when the approximate midpoint of the rates up cycle is reached. While higher gap ratios help the Corporation when interest rates do rise, the risk in maintaining high gap percentages is that, should interest rates not rise, management will have excess liquidity at lower short term rates. This is referred to as opportunity risk, whereby lower levels of income are being achieved than desired. However, this risk is lower now with a relatively flat yield curve. With the short end of the U.S. Treasury yield curve higher in yield, any excess liquidity can be invested in securities yielding significantly more than one year ago. Carrying high gap ratios in the current environment could also bring on an increased level of repricing risk should interest rates decrease, which could negatively impact the Corporation’s interest income and margin. This risk is also low presently.

 

The risk of liabilities repricing at higher interest rates is increasing slightly in the present environment as the Corporation has begun to increase some deposit rates minimally. However, a large portion of the Corporation’s deposits are core deposits with little or no repricing expected to occur in the near future. The remainder of the Corporation’s maturing liabilities made up of time deposits and borrowings are generally repricing to slightly higher interest rates. The Corporation’s average cost of funds was 3436 basis points as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, which is very low from an historic perspective. However, this cost of funds will likely begin to increase slightly throughout the remainder of 2017.2018. The average cost of funds includes the benefit of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts. The Corporation’s cost of funds was 3332 basis points as of December 31, 2016,2017, and 3533 basis points as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. The cost of funds savings slowed during 2017, with the low of 31 basis points reached in March 2017. Since then the cost of funds has increased 35 basis points to 3436 basis points. Given a higher level of liabilities repricing now, management would expect the cost of funds to increase at a slightly faster pace going forward.

 

Deposits have not been very rate sensitive for a number of years as a result of the limited desirable rates available to the deposit customer. However, shouldas market interest rates continue to rise further in the remainder of 2017 and during 2018, customer behavior patterns would changeappear to be changing and deposits wouldwill likely be more rate sensitive, with a portion potentially leaving the Corporation. The Corporation hashad experienced a steady growth in both non-interest bearing and interest bearing funds during this last prolonged and historically low interest rate environment and this trend continued throughout the first nine months of 2017. This trend can partially be attributed to the market disruption that occurredcycle, but in 2016 as a result of recent large local bank mergers that greatly impacted the Corporation’s market area.2018 deposit growth has been slower than in prior years.

 

The performance of the equity markets also has a bearing on how much of the current deposits will remain at the Corporation. It is management’s observation that since the financial crisis, an element of the Corporation’s deposit customers has been reluctant to redeploy funds presently at banks back into the equity market. Investors have grown weary of the volatility of the equity markets. Negative events, primarily overseas, have caused multiple cycles of sharp equity declines followed by recoveries. With equity markets beginning to improveperforming very well in 2017 and now stabilized after large expected correction, there has been a resurgence of customers pulling funds from deposit accounts to reinvest in the equity markets. This trend could cause deposit growth to slow or decline throughout the remainder of 2017.2018.

 

The Corporation’s net interest margin is improvingup slightly from levels in the previous quarter, primarily as a result of the Federal Reserve rate increase in March and June of 2017.quarter. Management’s future asset liability decisions will be dependent upon improvements in asset yield as well as the expected timing of further short-term rate increases. Management expects that the gap ratios will remain within or above the established guidelines throughout the remainder of 2017.2018.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

It is important to stress that the gap ratios are a static measurement of the Corporation’s asset liability position. It is only one of many asset liability analysis tools management utilizes to measure, monitor, and manage both liquidity and interest rate risk. The deficiencies with the gap analysis are that it makes no provision for changes to the balance sheet out into the future and would not factor in changes that management would very likely make to mitigate future interest rate risk.

 

In addition to the cumulative maturity gap analysis discussed above, management utilizes a number of liquidity measurements that management believes has advantages over and gives better clarity to the Corporation’s present and projected liquidity than the static gap analysis offers.

 

72 

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The Corporation analyzes the following additional liquidity measurements in an effort to monitor and mitigate liquidity risk:

 

·Core Deposit Ratio – Core deposits as a percentage of assets
·Funding Concentration Analysis – Alternative funding sources outside of core deposits as a percentage of assets
·Short-term Funds Availability – Readily available short-term funds as a percentage of assets
·Securities Portfolio Liquidity – Cash flows maturing in one year or less as a percentage of assets and securities
·Readily Available Unencumbered Securities and Cash – Unencumbered securities as a percentage of the securities portfolio and as a percentage of total assets
·Borrowing Limits – Internal borrowing limits in terms of both FHLB and total borrowings
·Three, Six, and Twelve-month Projected Sources and Uses of Funds – Projection of future liquidity positions

 

These measurements are designed to prevent undue reliance on outside sources of funding and to ensure a steady stream of liquidity is available should events occur that would cause a sudden decrease in deposits or large increase in loans or both, which would in turn draw significantly from the Corporation’s available liquidity sources. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation was within guidelines for all of the above measurements except the securities portfolio liquidity as a percentage of the portfolio and as a percentage of total assets. The policy calls for the Corporation to maintain securities portfolio cash flows maturing in one year or less between 15%10% and 25%20% of the total portfolio and between 4% and 8% of total assets and as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, these cash flows represented 5.7%8.6% of the portfolio, and 1.8%2.6% of total assets, under the lower guidelines. When factoring in available overnight cash, the Corporation’s securities portfolio liquidity represented 13.5%15.9% of the portfolio, slightly underwithin the policy guideline of 15% - 25%, and 4.3%4.8% of total assets, also below the policy guideline of 6% - 10%.

 

It is important for the Corporation to prepare for a rates-up environment and having more liquidity is advantageous as funds can be reinvested in higher yielding assets faster when sufficient liquidity exists. Management carried an average of approximately $40 million of cash and cash equivalents on a daily basis throughout the first ninesix months of 2017,2018, with an ending balance of $44.2$44.1 million on SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, and expects this will continue inlevel to remain throughout the near future.remainder of 2018. All liquidity measurements are tracked and reported quarterly by management to both observe trends and ensure the measurements stay within desired ranges. Management is confident that a sufficient amount of internal and external liquidity exists to provide for significant unanticipated liquidity needs.

 

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is measured using two analytical tools:

 

·Changes in net interest income
·Changes in net portfolio value

 

Financial modeling is used to forecast net interest income and earnings, as well as net portfolio value, also referred to as fair value. The modeling is generally conducted under seven different interest rate scenarios. The scenarios consist of a projection of net interest income if rates remain flat, increase 100, 200, 300, or 400300 basis points, or decrease 50, 100, or 100150 basis points. Rates-down scenarios are unlikely at this point so management is more focused on the rates-up scenarios. The results obtained through the use of forecasting models are based on a variety of factors. Both the net interest income and fair value forecasts make use of the maturity and repricing schedules to determine the changes to the balance sheet over the course of time. Additionally, there are many assumptions that factor into the results. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following:

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the interest rate sensitivity analysis and net portfolio value analysis discussed below, results are based on a static balance sheet reflecting no projected growth from balances as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. While it is unlikely that the balance sheet will not grow at all, management considers a static analysis to be the most conservative and most accurate means to evaluate fair value and future interest rate risk. The static balance sheet approach is used to reduce the number of variables in calculating the model’s accuracy in predicting future net interest income. It is appropriate to pull out various balance sheet growth scenarios which could be utilized to compensate for a declining margin. By testing the model using a base model assuming no growth, this variable is eliminated and management can focus on predicted net interest income based on the current existing balance sheet. Management does run additional scenarios with expected growth rates through the asset liability model to most accurately predict future financial performance. This is done separately and apart from the static balance sheet approach discussed above to test fair value and future interest rate risk.

 

As a result of the many assumptions, this information should not be relied upon to predict future results. Additionally, both of the analyses discussed below do not consider any action that management could take to minimize or offset the negative effect of changes in interest rates. These tools are used to assist management in identifying possible areas of risk in order to address them before a greater risk is posed. Personnel perform an in-depth annual validation and a quarterly review of the settings and assumptions used in the model to ensure reliability of the forecast results. In addition to the annual validation review, management also engages a third party every three years to obtain a complete external review of the model. That review was completed in the third quarter of 2017. The purpose was to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the model input, assumptions, and output and this study concluded that the model is managed appropriately and generating acceptable results. Back testing of the model to actual results is performed quarterly to ensure the validity of the assumptions in the model. The internal and external validations as well as the back testing indicate that the model assumptions are reliable.

 

Changes in Net Interest Income

 

The change in net interest income measures the amount of net interest income fluctuation that would be experienced over one year, assuming interest rates change immediately and remain the same for one year. This is considered to be a short-term view of interest rate risk. The analysis of changes in net interest income due to changes in interest rates is commonly referred to as interest rate sensitivity. The Corporation’s interest rate sensitivity analysis indicates that if interest rates were to go up immediately, the Corporation would realize more net interest income. This is due to the ability of the Corporation to immediately achieve higher interest earnings on interest-earning assets while having the ability to limit the amount of increase in interest-bearing liabilities based on the timing of deposit rate changes. This results in an increase in net interest income in the up-raterising rate scenarios, but a decline in net interest income in the down-ratedeclining rate scenarios.

 

The thirdsecond quarter 20172018 analysis projects net interest income expected in the seven rate scenarios over a one-year time horizon. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation was well within guidelines for the maximum amount of net interest income change in all rate scenarios. All up-rate scenarios show a positive impact to net interest income although significant improvements are not reflected until rates increase 200 300, or 400300 basis points. The increase in net interest income in the up-rate scenarios is largely due to the increase in variable rate loans that has occurred duringand the past several yearsrecent purchases of variable rate securities and the higher cash balances held on the Corporation’s balance sheet. On the liability side, when interest rates do increase, it is typical for management to react more slowly in increasing deposit rates. Loans that are Prime-based will increase by the full amount of the market rate movement while deposit rates will only increase at a fraction of the market rate increase. Additionally, deposit rates may level off more when market rates increase by 300200 or 400300 basis points where variable loan rates will still increase by the same amount as the Prime rate. The increases in net interest income in the up-rate scenarios are very similar to the increases reflected at December 31, 2016.2017. It is unlikely that interest rates will go down, but in the event that they would go lower, the Corporation would have exposure to all maturing fixed-rate loans and securities, which would reprice lower while most of the Corporation’s interest-bearing deposits could not be repriced any lower. This would result in a decline in net interest income in any down-rate scenario. However, even inIn the highly unlikely down-rate scenarios, the Corporation’s exposure to declining net interest income is still withinoutside of policy guidelines.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Management’s primary focus remains on the most likely scenario of higher interest rates. For the rates-up 100 basis point scenario, net interest income increases by 2.7%2.8% compared to the rates unchanged scenario. In the remaining rates-up scenarios, the net interest income increases more substantially reflecting the sizable amount of the Corporation’s interest-earning assets that reprice immediately by the full amount of the Fed increase versus the limited amount of deposit increases that management would approve on the Corporation’s interest-bearing deposits. The higher interest rates go, the greater the likelihood that the proportionality of the Corporation’s deposit rate changes decreases as a percentage of the Federal Reserve’s action. For the rates-up 200 300, and 400300 basis point scenarios, net interest income increases by 7.6%, 13.6%,7.4% and 19.6%13.4%, respectively, compared to the rates unchanged scenario. Management’s maximum permitted net interest income declines by policy are -5%, -10%, and -15%, and -20% for the rates up 100, 200, 300, and 400300 basis point scenarios, respectively.

74 

Index

ENB FINANCIAL CORP
Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The positive impact of significantly higher rates is primarily due to the favorable impact of all of the Corporation’s variable rate loans repricing by the full amount of the Federal rate change, assisted by the Corporation’s relatively high interest earning cash balances and that component of the loans and securities portfolios that reprice in less than one year. This more than offsets the increase in interest expense caused by repricing deposits, and borrowings, where they are only repricing by a fraction of the rate change. The Corporation’s borrowings do price up faster than deposits, generally equivalent to the U.S. Treasury market. However, borrowings only make up approximately 7.5% of the total funding provided by deposits and borrowings. The more aggressive rates-up scenarios also benefit from known historical experience of deposit rate increases lagging and a slowing in the pace of the actual rate increase as interest rates continue to rise. This allows management the ability to benefit from higher rates by controlling the amount of the increase on large amounts of liabilities that are repricing. Management does not expect the Corporation’s exposure to interest rate changes to increase or change significantly during the remainder of 2017.2018.

 

The assumptions and analysis of interest rate risk are based on historical experience during varied economic cycles. Management believes these assumptions to be appropriate; however, actual results could vary significantly. Management uses this analysis to identify trends in interest rate sensitivity and determine if action is necessary to mitigate asset liability risk.

 

Changes in Net Portfolio Value

 

The change in net portfolio value is considered a tool to measure long-term interest rate risk. The analysis measures the exposure of the balance sheet to valuation changes due to changes in interest rates. The calculation of net portfolio value discounts future cash flows to the present value based on current market rates. The change in net portfolio value estimates the gain or loss in value that would occur on market sensitive instruments given an interest rate increase or decrease in the same seven scenarios mentioned above. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, the Corporation was within guidelines for all rising rate scenarios but was outside of guidelines for the rates-down scenarios. The trend over the past year has been lessening risk in the up-raterising rate scenarios with increasing cash balances and core deposit balances with the current quarter showing a slightly smaller benefit in all up-raterising rate scenarios than the quarter ended June 30,December 31, 2017. The strong GAP ratios played a large role in improving the Corporation’s net portfolio value profile. The non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and low-interest bearing checking, NOW, and money market accounts provide more benefit to the Corporation when interest rates are higher and the difference between the overnight funding costs compared to the average interest bearing core deposit rates are greater. As interest rates increase, the discount rate used to value the Corporation’s interest bearing accounts increases, causing a lower net present value for these interest-bearing deposits. This improves the modeling of the Corporation’s fair value risk to higher interest rates as the liability amounts decrease causing a higher net portfolio value of the Corporation’s balance sheet.

ENB FINANCIAL CORP

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The results as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, indicate that the Corporation’s net portfolio value would experience valuation gains of 8.3%6.7%, 8.4%, 7.5%7.4%, and 5.2%,4.9% in the rates-up 100, 200, 300, and 400300 basis point scenarios. Management’s maximum permitted declines in net portfolio value by policy are -5% for rates-up 100 basis points, graduating up to -20%-15% for rates-up 400300 basis points. A valuation loss would indicate that the value of the Corporation’s assets is declining at a faster pace than the decrease in the value of the Corporation’s liabilities. While the down-rate scenarios that are modeled are currently very unlikely, the analysis does show a valuation loss in the down 50, 100, and down 100150 basis point scenarios. The Corporation’s expected valuation loss was just outside of the -7.5% guideline for rates down 50 and does progressively decline for the -100 and -150 rate scenarios. Management has a bias toward additional Federal Reserve rate increases and continues to focus on the rising rate scenarios. However, with each successive Federal Reserve rate action the market is closer to the final stages of this rising rate cycle, where management’s bias will move back closer to neutral and more concern will be placed on the declining rate scenarios. The exposure to valuation changes could change going forward if the behavior of the Corporation’s deposits changes due to higher interest rates. Based on five past decay rate studies on the Corporation’s core deposits, management doesdid not expect a material decline in core deposit accounts, including the non-interest bearing accounts, whenas short term interest rates docontinue to increase. TheHowever, in early 2018 the typical seasonal decline in deposits was more pronounced than in years past and the decline lasted longer with fewer deposits returning. However, by June 30, 2018, deposits had returned and showed growth over balances at December 31, 2017. Up to this point, the Corporation’s core deposits have been stable through a number of rate cycles.

 

The weakness with the net portfolio value analysis is that it assumes liquidation of the Corporation rather than as a going concern. For that reason, it is considered a secondary measurement of interest rate risk to “Changes in Net Interest Income” discussed above. However, the net portfolio value analysis is a more important tool to measure the impact of interest rate changes to capital. In the current regulatory climate, the focus is on ensuring adequate asset liability modeling is being done to project the impact of very large interest rate increases on capital. The asset liability modeling currently in place measures the impact of such a rate change on the valuation of the Corporation’s loans, securities, deposits, and borrowings, and the resulting impact to capital. Management continues to analyze additional scenario testing to model “worst case” scenarios to adequately plan for the possible severe impact of such events.
