Embassy Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

Embassy Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). The Company was formed for purposes of acquiring Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley (the “Bank”) in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into a bank holding company structure, which was consummated on November 11, 2008. Accordingly, the Company owns all of the capital stock of the Bank, giving the organization more flexibility in meeting its capital needs as the Company continues to grow. Embassy Holdings, LLC (the “LLC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank organized to engage in the holding of property acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of debts previously contracted. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the LLC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Bank, which is the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, was originally incorporated as a Pennsylvania bank on May 11, 2001 and opened its doors on November 6, 2001. It was formed by a group of local business persons and professionals with significant prior experience in community banking in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, the Bank’s primary market area.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.2022.

The consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2021.18, 2022.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued.

Certain amounts in the 20202021 consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to 20212022 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on 20202021 net income.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies of the Company as applied in the interim financial statements presented herein are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis as presented in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.


Note 3 – COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic and on March 13, 2020 the United States government declared COVID-19 as a national emergency. The continuing effects of COVID-19 could adversely impact a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The economic effects of COVID-19 may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as further described below. The full future potential impact is unknown at this time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company provided certain borrowers affected in a variety of ways by COVID-19 with payment accommodations that facilitate their ability to work through the immediate impact of the virus. Payment accommodations were in the form of short-term principal and/or interest deferrals. These payment accommodations were made in accordance with Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, provides that, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020, subsequently extended until December 31, 2021, or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic declared by the President of the United States under the National Emergencies Act terminates, the Company may elect to suspend US GAAP for loan modifications related to the pandemic which would otherwise be categorized as troubled debt restructurings and suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of the effects of the pandemic as being a troubled debt restructuring, including impairment for accounting purposes. Interest income is continuing to be recognized during the accommodation period.

Included in the September 30, 2021 totals above are two hundred two (202) loans totaling $118.1 million in which the payment accommodation period has ended and the loan payments have resumed under their original contractual terms. Also included in the September 30, 2021 totals above is one (1) residential real estate loan totaling $415 thousand that, after its payment accommodation period ended in late March 2021, was taken to non-accrual and downgraded to substandard. No loss is anticipated on the loan. Between October 1, 2021 and October 31, 2021 there were 0 new Section 4013 modifications made.

The Company participates in the Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the CARES Act and subsequent 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”). As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a total of one hundred twenty-two (122) PPP loans outstanding with a receivable balance of $16.2 million, net of $457 thousand of unearned origination fees and costs. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a total of four hundred seventy (470) PPP loans outstanding with a receivable balance of $54.3 million, net of $1.2 million of unearned origination fees and costs. From January 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021, the Company originated three hundred thirty-three (333) new PPP loans with a balance of $31.6 million, net of $1.4 million of unearned origination fees and costs. From January 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021, the Company received forgiveness payments from the SBA on PPP loan principal balances of $71.3 million. From October 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021 the Company received forgiveness payments from the SBA on PPP loan principal balances of $2.3 million.

These PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, have a two year or up to five year maturity and an interest rate of 1% throughout the term of the loan, with payments deferred until forgiveness proceeds are received from the SBA or ten months after the end of the covered period. The SBA may forgive the PPP loans if certain conditions are met by the borrower, including using at least 60% of the proceeds for payroll costs. The SBA also provided the Company with a processing fee for each loan, with the amount of such fee pre-determined by the SBA dependent upon the size of each loan. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has net deferred PPP loan fees and costs of $457 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively, which will be recognized through interest income over the life of the related PPP loans. In accordance with the 100% SBA guarantee and the Company’s opinion that the

10


Embassy Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

majority of the PPP loans will be forgiven, the Company has determined that 0 allowance for loan losses is required on the PPP loans. All PPP loans have a pass rating and none are past due under their contractual terms.

In April 2020, the Company applied and was approved by the Federal Reserve Board for both the ability to borrow under its Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”), as well as its Discount Window. The PPPLF provides term funding to depository institutions that originate loans to small businesses under the PPP. PPP loans that are pledged to secure PPPLF extensions of credit are excluded from leverage ratio calculations. The Company had PPPLF borrowings of $50.8 million at December 31, 2020. As of February 3, 2021, the PPPLF borrowings have been paid off in full.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased $738 thousand to $11.3 million at September 30, 2021 compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.00% and 0.92% of total loans receivable and 1.01% and 0.97%, respectively, of total loans receivable not including PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA. During 2021 and 2020, the Company adjusted certain qualitative factors to incorporate the current economic implications, unemployment rates and amount of loan modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-PPP loans. Based upon current economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio, the perceived credit risk in the portfolio and loan-loss experience of the Company and comparable institutions in the Company’s market area, management feels the allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably anticipated losses.

securities. Management believes that the unrealized loss only represents temporary impairment of the securities. Nonesecurities, and are a result of the individual losses are significant.recent rapidly increasing market interest rates due to the current economic conditions and not the credit quality.

Note 54 – Restricted Investment in Bank Stock

Restricted investments in bank stock consist of FHLBank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) stock and ACBBAtlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) stock. The restricted stocks are carried at cost. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. The Bank had FHLB stock at a carrying value of $1.4 million$955 thousand as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and $1.3$1.4 million at December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The Bank had ACBB stock at a carrying value of $40 thousand at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

Management evaluates the FHLB and ACBB restricted stock for impairment. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the issuer as compared to the capital stock amount for the issuer and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the issuer to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the issuer, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the issuer.

Based upon its evaluation of the foregoing criteria, management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB or ACBB stock as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider, resulting in a modified loan which is then identified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, extensions to maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better coincide the timing of payments due under the modified terms with the expected timing of cash flows from the borrowers’ operations. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. TDRs are considered impaired loans for purposes of calculating the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Payment accommodations completed since the COVID-19 outbreak are reported in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus as described in Note 3 and are not considered a TDR.

The Company identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and the evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports.  Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, 0 available commitments were outstanding on TDRs.

Beginning in 2020 and through early 2021, the Company provided certain borrowers affected in a variety of ways by COVID-19 with payment accommodations that facilitated their ability to work through the immediate impact of the virus. Payment accommodations related to COVID-19 assistance were in the form of short-term (six months or less) principal and/or interest deferrals and the loans were considered current at the time of the accommodation. These payment accommodations were made in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus and the Company did not categorize these modifications as troubled debt restructurings. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had one hundred eighty-three (183) loans totaling $106.4 million, for which the payment accommodation period had ended and the loans had resumed payments under their original contractual terms. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had one hundred ninety-nine (199) loans totaling $116.4 million, for which the payment accommodation period had ended and the loans had resumed payments under their original contractual terms.

Note 109 – Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

US GAAP requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive (loss) income. Management believes that the unrealized losses on securities available for sale are a result of current market conditions, primarily changes in the interest rate environment.

The components of other comprehensive (loss) income both before tax and net of tax are as follows:

Note 1110 – Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

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

Note 1211 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

US GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

The fair value of securities available for sale are determined by matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, are as follows:

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under existing FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance, in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. Fair values may also include qualitative adjustments by management based on economic conditions and liquidation expenses. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, of the impaired loans having an aggregate balance of $4.0$3.1 million, $2.5$2.1 million did not require a valuation allowance because the value of the collateral, including estimated selling costs, securing the loan was determined to meet or exceed the balance owed on the loan. Of the remaining $1.5$1.1 million in impaired loans, an aggregate valuation allowance of $140$153 thousand was required to reflect what was determined to be a shortfall in the value of the collateral as compared to the balance on such loans.

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices or appraised value of the property. These assets would be included in Level 3 fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, the Company had 0 real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure.

Embassy Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1312 – Future Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to report “expected” credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model. These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU will also require enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used inestimating credit losses, as

25

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB issued an update to defer the implementation date for smaller reporting companies from 2020 to 2023. The Company currently qualifies as a smaller reporting company under SEC Regulation S-K and, therefore, the guidance is effective for the Company in 2023. The Company has not yet determined the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements or its results of operations. Management is currently in the process of calculating sample expected loss computations and developing the allowance methodology and assumptions that will be used under the new standard. Management will continue to progress on its implementation project plan and improve the Company’s approach throughout the deferral period, while evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

This discussion and analysis provides an overview of the financial condition and results of operations of Embassy Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the preceding consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, as well as with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 20202021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). The Company was formed for purposes of acquiring Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley (the “Bank”) in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into a bank holding company structure, which was consummated on November 11, 2008. Accordingly, the Company owns all of the capital stock of the Bank, giving the organization more flexibility in meeting its capital needs as the Company continues to grow. Embassy Holdings, LLC (the “LLC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank organized to engage in the holding of property acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of debts previously contracted. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the LLC.

The Bank, which is the Company’s primary operating subsidiary, was originally incorporated as a Pennsylvania bank on May 11, 2001 and opened its doors on November 6, 2001. It was formed by a group of local business persons and professionals with significant prior experience in community banking in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, the Bank’s primary market area, for the purpose of providing a local community bank to serve Lehigh and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania.

Since its inception, the Board’s philosophy has been that, by running the Bank with a view toward the long term, only good things will happen for the Bank’s customers, team members, shareholders and the Lehigh Valley community.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company continued to be in a strong financial and operational condition. The Bank’s SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 capital ratios exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well capitalized” as defined in applicable banking regulations. The Company’s ratio of non-performing loans to total loans and the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans not includingexcluding PPP loans at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 were both 0.28%0.20% and the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.20%0.14%. Management believes theThe Company continues to be well prepared for the ongoing economichad its last Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) examination in 2022 and social consequences of the COVID-19 global pandemic.received a “satisfactory” rating.

 

The Company’s assets increased $124.1$19.5 million from $1.44$1.63 billion at December 31, 20202021 to $1.57$1.65 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. The increase was due to an increase of $133.3$14.6 million in securities available for sale, and an increase of $27.7$38.0 million in net loans receivable (not including(excluding PPP loans);, and an increase in other assets of $11.1 million; offset by a decrease of $1.2$36.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease of $38.1$6.6 million in net PPP loans receivable due to net loan forgiveness. The growth in securities available for sale and net loans receivable was primarily funded by deposits. The slight decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to PPPLFrepayments of FHLB long term borrowings of $50.8$14.7 million being paid off in fullmaturing during the first quarter of 2021,2022, purchases of available for sale securities, and funding of new loans,net loan growth (excluding PPP), offset, in part, by the forgiveness of PPP loans, an increase in deposits, and an increase in deposits.securities sold under agreement to repurchase. The Company's deposits grew $168.3$65.6 million from $1.23$1.47 billion at December 31, 20202021 to $1.40$1.53 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. The overall deposit growth was due to a highly effective relationship building, sales and marketing effort, which served to further increase the Company’s overall presence in the market it serves, along with deposit relationships developed as a result of cross-marketing efforts to its loan and other non-depository banking service customers. Also contributing to the growth is the increased usage of the Company’s online banking platform, competitively offered rates, the opening of a permanent branch office in Macungie and the opening of an office at 2002 West Liberty Street in Allentown, the continued convenience and efficiency of our branch network and branch personnel, and the injection of federal stimulus money into the economy from PPP funds and consumer stimulus payments.personnel. The Company also continues to capitalize ongain new deposit opportunities created by recent merger announcements, name changes, and competitive branch hour adjustments and/or closures in the Company’s market area, attracting new customers looking to relocate to a local, reputable community bank.

Net loans receivable (not including(excluding PPP loans) increased by $27.7$38.0 million to $1.11$1.13 billion at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 from $1.08$1.10 billion at December 31, 2020.2021. The market continues to be very competitive and the Company is committed to maintaining a high-quality portfolio that returns a reasonable market rate. While the past and current economic and competitive conditions in the marketplace have created more competition for loans to credit-worthy customers, the Company continues to expand its market presence, its pipeline, and continues to focus on developing a reputation as being a market leader in both commercial and consumer/mortgage lending. Management believes that this combination of relationship building, cross marketing and responsible underwriting will translate into continued long-term growth of a portfolio of quality loans and core deposit relationships, although there can be no assurance of this. The Company continues to monitor interest rate exposure of its interest-bearing assets and liabilities and believes that it is well positioned for any anticipated future market rate adjustments. See expanded discussion under the Financial Conditions: Loans section below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Generally, changes in net interest income are measured by net interest rate spread and net interest margin. Interest rate spread is the mathematical difference between the average interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Interest margin represents the net interest yield on earning assets. The interest margin gives a reader a better indication of asset earning results when compared to peer groups or industry standards.

28


The Company determines interest rate spread and margin on both a US GAAP and tax equivalent basis. The use of tax equivalent basis in determining interest rate spread and margin is considered a non-US GAAP measure. The Company believes use of this measure provides meaningful information to the reader of the consolidated financial statements when comparing taxable and non-taxable assets. However, it is supplemental to US GAAP which is used to prepare the Company’s consolidated financial statements and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for US GAAP measures. In addition, the non-US GAAP measure may

31


not be comparable to non-US GAAP measures reported by other companies. The tax rate used to calculate the tax equivalent adjustments was 21% for 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Total interest income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 increased $1.1 million$630 thousand to $12.3$12.2 million, as compared to $11.2$11.6 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Average earning assets were $1.50$1.59 billion for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 as compared to $1.31$1.44 billion for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The increase was driven by a $33.6 million increase in average taxable loans and a $143.1 million increase in average investment securities. The tax equivalent yield on average earning assets was 3.27%3.11% for the thirdsecond quarter of 20212022 compared to 3.42%3.24% for the thirdsecond quarter of 2020.2021.

Total interest expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 decreased $496$135 thousand to $938$888 thousand, as compared to $1.4$1.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Average interest bearing liabilities were $1.10$1.18 billion for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 as compared to $977.6 million$1.05 billion for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The yield on average interest bearing liabilities was 0.34%0.30% and 0.58%0.39% for the thirdsecond quarter of 2022 and 2021, and 2020.respectively.

Net interest income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 was $11.3 million, compared to $9.8$10.5 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The improvement in net interest income is, in part, the result of an increase in the interest and fee income from PPP loans and an increase in the balances of taxable loans, an increase in taxable and non-taxable investments, andan increase in interest bearing deposits with banks, along with an increase in the rate of taxable investments.investments, non-taxable investments, federal funds sold, and interest bearing deposit with banks. Also contributing to the improvement in net interest income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 was a decrease in the balance and rates of certificates of deposits and a decrease in interest expense on long term FHLB borrowings due to being paid off in the first quarter of 2022. The improvements were offset, in part, by a decrease in the interest and fee income from PPP loans, a decrease in the rates of taxable loans, and an increase in the balance of interest bearing demand deposits, NOW, money market and savings. The Company’s net interest margin is 2.86% on a US GAAP basis and 2.88% on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 2.93% on a US GAAP basis and 2.95% on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $430 thousand to $23.8 million, as compared to $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to a $2.0 million increase in investment securities interest income, offset, in part, by a $1.4 million decrease in PPP interest income. Average earning assets were $1.59 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $1.41 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The tax equivalent yield on average earning assets was 3.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $376 thousand to $1.8 million, as compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Average interest bearing liabilities were $1.18 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $1.04 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The yield on average interest bearing liabilities was 0.31% and 0.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $22.0 million compared to $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The slight improvement in net interest income is, in part, the result of an increase in the balances of taxable loans, an increase in taxable and non-taxable investments due to purchases of $81.1 million, an increase in interest bearing deposits with banks, along with an increase in the rate of taxable investments, federal funds sold, and interest bearing deposit with banks. Also contributing to the improvement in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was a decrease in the balance and rates of certificates of deposit, and money markets, a decrease in interest expense on long term FHLB borrowings due to repayment in the ratesfirst quarter of interest bearing demand deposits, NOW, savings, securities sold under agreement to repurchase,2022, and no interest expense from PPPLF borrowings due to being paid offrepayment in the first quarter of 2021. The improvements were offset, in part, by a decrease in the rates of taxable loans, non-taxable investments, and interest bearing deposits with banks, an increase in the balance of interest bearing demand deposits, NOW, savings, and securities sold under agreement to repurchase. The Company’s net interest margin is 3.00% on a US GAAP basis and 3.02% on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to 2.96% on a US GAAP basis and 2.98% on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Total interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $2.7 million to $35.6 million, as compared to $32.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Average earning assets were $1.44 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $1.23 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The tax equivalent yield on average earning assets was 3.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 3.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased $2.0 million to $3.1 million, as compared to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Average interest bearing liabilities were $1.06 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $930.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The yield on average interest bearing liabilities was 0.39% and 0.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $32.5 million compared to $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The improvement in net interest income is primarily the result of an increase in the interest and fee income from PPP loans, a decrease in the balance and rates of certificates of deposit and money markets, a decrease in the rates of interest bearing demand deposits, NOW, savings, securities sold under agreement to repurchase and other borrowings. Also contributing to the improvement in net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was an increase in the balances of taxable loans, taxable and non-taxable investments, federal funds sold, and interest bearing deposits with banks, and a decrease in interest expense from PPPLF borrowings. The improvements were offset, in part, by a decrease in the rates of taxable loans taxable and non-taxable investments, fed funds sold and interest bearing deposits with banks, and an increase in the balance of interest bearing demand deposits, NOW, savings, securities sold under agreement to repurchase,money market, and long-term FHLB borrowings.savings. The Company’s net interest margin remained flatis 2.80% on a US GAAP basis and a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis. The Company’s net interest margin is 3.02% on a US GAAP basis and 3.04%2.82% on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, as compared to 3.03% on a US GAAP basis and September3.05% on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis for the six months ended June 30, 2020.2021.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Federal Reserve Board in mid-March 2020 reduced by 150 basis points the benchmark fed funds rate to a target range of 0% to 0.25%, and the yields on 10 and 30 year Treasury notes had declined to historic lows. Less than 10% of the Company’s loan portfolio is scheduled to mature or reprice within the next year. As a result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate and yields on Treasury notes, the Company’s future net interest margin and spread may be further reduced. The Company’s net interest margin was also affected by the balance of PPP loans, which bear interest at a rate of 1.0%, and PPPLF borrowings, which bore an interest rate of 0.35% and were paid off in early February 2021. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis excluding PPP loans and PPP interest income and PPPLF borrowings interest expense for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 was 2.85%2.90% and 2.90%2.81%, compared to 3.02%2.91% and 3.07%2.92% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.

Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers to be adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

The allowance consists of general, specific, qualitative and unallocated components. The general component covers non-classified loans and classified loans not considered impaired, and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired and/or restructured. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s

3532


estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and home equity loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement or there is a possible loss expected.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the provision for loan losses was $150$350 thousand, as compared to $700$125 thousand for the same period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021 due to growth in the loan portfolio. In the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, there were $2 thousand in charge-offs and no recoveries, as compared to no charge-offs and $1 thousand in recoveries forand no charge-offs. For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, the provision for loan losses was $740$350 thousand, as compared to $1.7 million$590 thousand for the same period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. In the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, there were $4$2 thousand in recoveries and no charge-offs, as compared to $2 thousand in charge-offs and $2 thousand in recoveries as compared to no charge-offs and $26 thousand in recoveries for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. The provision for loan losses is a function of the allowance for loan loss methodology that the Company uses to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted. During 20202021 and duringthrough the ninesix months ending SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company adjustedincreased the economic risk factor, loan modifications risk factor, and other external factor methodologies to incorporate the current economic implications, including concerns over inflation, supply chain and geopolitical events in the Ukraine, unemployment rates, and the amount of loan modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See the discussion below under “CreditCredit Risk and Loan Quality”Quality regarding the Company’s considerations of its SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 allowance for loan loss levels. The allowance for loan losses is $11.3$11.8 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, which is 1.00%1.03% of total loans receivable and 1.03% of loans receivable excluding PPP loans, compared to $11.2 million or 0.97% of total loans receivable and 1.01% of loans receivable not including PPP loans, compared to $9.7 million or 0.86% of total loans receivable and 0.92% of loans receivable not includingexcluding PPP loans as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. At December 31, 2020,2021, the allowance for loan losses was $10.6$11.5 million, which represented 0.92%1.03% of total loans receivable and 0.97%1.04% of loans receivable not includingexcluding PPP loans. Based principally on loan growth, economic conditions, asset quality, and loan-loss experience, including that of comparable institutions in the Company’s market area, the allowance is believed to be adequate to absorb any losses inherent in the portfolio. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate, or that material increases will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate. The Company has not participated in any sub-prime lending activity.

Total non-interest income was $508$326 thousand for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 compared to $602$621 thousand for the same period in 2020.2021. The decrease is, in part, attributable to a decrease in bank owned life insurance income of $181$334 thousand. The decrease in the bank owned life insurance income was primarily due to a decrease in separate account life insurance assets driven by the effect market conditions had on underlying life insurance assets, particularly the separate account life insurance assets, offset by income on the $4.0 million of additional bank owned life insurance purchased during the fourth quarter of 2020.assets. The decrease was offset by an increase in merchant and credit card processing fees of $37 thousand, an increase in debit card interchange fees of $40$12 thousand and an increase of $10$25 thousand in other service fees, in part, due to an expanding customer base.base and overdraft fees.

The decrease was offset by an increase in merchant and credit card processing fees of $67$29 thousand, and an increase in debit card interchange fees of $175$20 thousand, in part, due to less activity in the second quarter of 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic and an expanding customer base.

New hires included a commercial lender and various branch and other operational personnel. The increase in the number of employees, together with the annual increases in salaries and benefits, increase in employee taxes, increase in health insurance cost, increase in stock grant expense, and a decrease in deferred compensation costs primarily associated with fewer PPP loan originations in the second quarter of 2021, offset by a decrease in non-qualified pension expense, resulted in an increase in overall salary and benefits. Additional increases in non-interest expenses are attributable to an increase of $90 thousand in

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Securities

The Company’s securities portfolio continues to be classified, in its entirety, as “available for sale.” Management believes that a portfolio classification of available for sale allows complete flexibility in the investment portfolio. Using this classification, the Company intends to hold these securities for an indefinite amount of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Such securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The portfolio is structured to provide maximum return on investments while providing a consistent source of liquidity and meeting strict risk standards. Investment securities consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC or FNMA, taxable and non-taxable municipal bonds, and government agency bonds, and Treasury bonds. The Company holds no high-risk or direct internationally exposed securities or derivatives as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. The Company has not made any investments in non-U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities or sub-prime loans.

Total securities at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 were $264.2$324.9 million compared to $130.9$310.3 million at December 31, 2020.2021. The increase in the investment portfolio resulted from the purchase of twenty-six (26)twelve (12) mortgage-backed securities, twenty-six (26)two (2) government agency bonds, twenty-five (25) tax-free municipal bonds, and eight (8)twelve (12) taxable municipal bonds, and two (2) Treasury bonds totaling $179.9$81.1 million; offset by principal pay downs on mortgage-backed securities, the calls of eight (8)six (6) non-taxable municipal bonds, and the maturity of one (1) non-taxabletaxable municipal bond the maturity of five (5) government agency bonds, the maturity of one (1) Treasury security totaling $39.4$14.3 million, the sale of two (2) mortgage backed securities totaling $3.3 million, including a realized gain of $24 thousand, and a decreasean increase in unrealized gainslosses of $3.8$52.4 million.

During the nine months ending September 30, 2021, the Company again adjusted the other external factor methodology, due to uncertainty with the post COVID-19 pandemic economy, leading to a further increasedecrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-PPP loans.unallocated reserve. In determining its allowance for loan loss level at SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company considered the health and composition of its loan portfolio going into and during the COVID-19 pandemic. All loans that havehad the CARES Act Section 4013 modification are provided additional qualitative reserve in the Company’s allowance for loan loss calculation. The Company’s non-performing loans to total loans receivable was 0.28%0.20% at SeptemberJune 30, 2022, compared to 0.29% at June 30, 2021 compared to 0.26% at September 30, 2020 and 0.25%0.23% at December 31, 2020.2021. The Company’s nonperforming loans to total loans receivable not includingexcluding PPP loans was 0.28%0.20% at SeptemberJune 30, 2022, compared to 0.30% at June 30, 2021 compared to 0.28% at September 30, 2020 and 0.26%0.23% at December 31, 2020. In the three months ended September2021. At June 30, 2021, there were $2 thousand in charge-offs and no recoveries, as compared to no charge-offs and $1 thousand in recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2020. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were $4 thousand in charge-offs and $2 thousand in recoveries, as compared to no charge-offs and $26 thousand in recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2021,2022 approximately 95%96% of the Company’s loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate. Less than 6% of the Company’s loan portfolio is to borrowers in the more particularly hard-hit industries (including the travel and hotel industry, the full-service and limited-service restaurant industries, and the assisted living facilities industry) and the Company has no direct international exposure. The Company wasis not required to adopt the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) FASB accounting standard in 2020 or 2021. This guidance will not be effective for the Company until 2023. Based upon current economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio, the perceived credit risk in the portfolio and loan-loss experience of the Company and comparable institutions in the Company’s market area, management feels the allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably anticipated losses. The Company will continue to evaluate the allowance for loan losses as new information becomes available.

The aggregate balances on non-performing loans are included in the following table. Troubled debt restructurings, included in the following table, represent loans where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, has granted a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. There were no loans that were modified and classified as a TDR within the prior twelve months that experienced a payment default (loans ninety or more days past due) for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022.

Company premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, increased $541decreased $45 thousand from December 31, 20202021 to SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. This increasedecrease is due to purchases, in part due to the Company’s new branch office at 2002 West Liberty Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania, offset by depreciation on existing premises and equipment.equipment, offset by new purchases.

Deposits

Total deposits at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 increased $168.3$65.6 million to $1.40$1.53 billion from $1.23$1.47 billion at December 31, 2020.2021. The increase in the Company’s deposits was due to an increase of $81.1$57.8 million in demand, NOW and money market deposits and a $135.5$32.7 million increase in savings deposits; offset by a decrease of $48.3$24.9 million in time deposits. The growth in total deposits was primarily due to organic growth of new and existing customerscustomers. Included in the above mentioned increase was a $17.1 million increase in non-interest bearing demand personal deposits and the injection of federal stimulus money into the economy from PPP funds and consumer stimulus payments. The shift out of time deposits was primarily due to promotions rolling off into lower yielding deposits due to the current rate environment.a $31.3 million increase in non-interest bearing demand business deposits. The funds were primarily used to fund new loan growth, purchase securities, and to pay off PPPLFFHLB long-term borrowings. Included in total deposits at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were municipal deposits of $100.7 million and $88.5 million, respectively.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet the demands required for the funding of loans and to meet depositors’ requirements for use of their funds. The Company’s sources of liquidity are cash balances, due from banks, and federal funds sold. Cash and cash equivalents were $130.7$132.9 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, compared to $131.9$169.7 million at December 31, 2020.2021.

Additional asset liquidity sources include principal and interest payments from the investment security and loan portfolios. Long-term liquidity needs may be met by selling unpledged securities available for sale, selling or participating loans, or raising additional capital. Selling of securities would not be a source of short term liquidity needs given the unrealized losses currently in the portfolio. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Company had $264.2$324.9 million of available for sale securities. Securities with carrying values of approximately $116.1$150.0 million and $98.7$114.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase, public deposits, and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Bank had a maximum borrowing capacity for short-term and long-term advances of approximately $707.2$713.9 million. This borrowing capacity with the FHLB includes a line of credit of $150.0 million. There were no short-term FHLB advances outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. There were no long-term FHLB advances outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and $14.7 million in long-term FHLB advances outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.2021. All FHLB borrowings are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.

The Bank has a federal funds line of credit with the ACBB of $10.0 million, of which none was outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020.2021. Advances from this line are unsecured.

As described in Note 3,The Bank is a member of the Bank had long-term PPPLF borrowings, termCertificate of Deposit Account Registry Services (CDARS) program offered by the Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC. CDARS is a funding and liquidity management tool used by banks to depository institutions that originate loans to small businesses under the PPP, through the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia of $50.8 million as of December 31, 2020. These borrowings were repaid in full in February 2021. All PPPLF borrowings were secured by PPP loans. PPP loans that were pledged to secure PPPLF extensions of credit are excluded from leverage ratio calculations.

balance sheet. It enables financial institutions to provide customers with full FDIC insurance on time deposits over $250 thousand that are placed in the program. The Bank also has available Insured Cash Sweep (ICS), another program through Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC, which is a product similar to CDARS, but one that provides liquidity similar to a money market or savings account.

The Company has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or capital resources.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These off-balance sheet arrangements consist of unfunded loans and commitments, as well as lines of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. These unused commitments totaled $145.8$185.8 million and $135.4$155.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. At SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $6.9$9.2 million and $5.4$9.5 million, respectively. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company. Management is of the opinion that the Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet its anticipated needs. Management will continue to evaluate the Company’s liquidity position for changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Capital Resources and Adequacy

Total stockholders’ equity was $119.3$86.8 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, representing a net increasedecrease of $7.1$35.7 million from December 31, 2020.2021. The increasedecrease in capital was primarily the result of an increase of $41.4 million in unrealized losses on available for sale securities due to market conditions as securities were affected by rapidly increasing market interest rates leading to unrealized losses in the investment portfolio. The accumulated other comprehensive losses are excluded from both the Bank’s and the Company’s Tier 1 capital. In addition, treasury stock purchases of $18 thousand and dividends declared of $2.6 million, were offset by net income of $12.6$8.0 million, an increase in common stock of $12 thousand, and an increase in surplus of $397$383 thousand due to stock grants and employee stock purchases with compensation expense, offsetexpense.

The Company’s tangible book value per share, calculated as total stockholders’ equity divided by dividends paidoutstanding common stock shares, was $11.50 and $16.24 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s tangible book value per share not including accumulated other comprehensive loss in the total stockholders’ equity numerator (a non-GAAP measure) was $17.13 and $16.40 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company believes this non-GAAP measurement enhances the overall understanding of $2.3 million,Company performance and increases comparability of period to period results, but should not be viewed as a decreasesubstitute for the measure as determined in accordance with GAAP or an inference that future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to be determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The regulations require that banks maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier I capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Bank met the minimum requirements. In addition, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well capitalized” as defined in the regulations.

Note: Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are excluded from regulatory capital components of risk-based capital and leverage ratios.

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the federal banking regulators established minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for those bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%.

The capital ratios to be considered “well capitalized” under the new capital rules are: common equity of 6.5%, Tier 1 leverage of 5%, Tier 1 risk-based capital of 8%, and Total Risk-Basedtotal risk-based capital of 10%.

The Company qualifies as a small bank holding company and is not subject to the Federal Reserve’s consolidated capital rules, although an institution that so qualifies may continue to file reports that include such capital amounts and ratios.  The Company has elected to continue to report those amounts and ratios.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s primary source of market risk is interest rate risk. A principal objective of the Company’s asset/liability management policy is to minimize the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates by an ongoing review of the maturity and repricing of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO), included as part of the Board of Directors meetings, oversees this review, which establishes policies to control interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is the volatility of a company’s earnings resulting from a movement in market interest rates. The Company monitors rate sensitivity in order to reduce vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations while maintaining adequate capital levels and acceptable levels of liquidity. In

39


2022, the Federal Reserve has been raising its key interest rate in an attempt to tame inflation. The Company’s asset/liability management policy, monthly and quarterly financial reports, along with simulation modeling, supplies management with guidelines to evaluate and manage rate sensitivity.

Because income simulations assume that the Company’s balance sheet will remain static over the simulation horizon, the results do not reflect adjustments in strategy that the management could implement in response to rate shifts. Computations of future effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Assets and liabilities may react differently than projected to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag changes in market interest rates. Interest rate shifts may not be parallel.

Based on a twelve-month forecast of the balance sheet, the following table sets forth the Company’s interest rate risk profile at SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. For income simulation purposes, personal and business savings accounts reprice every three months, personal and business NOW accounts reprice every four months and personal and business money market accounts reprice every twothree to four months. The impact on net interest income, illustrated in the following table, would vary if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from that indicated by the assumptions.
