Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring items, have been included. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in First United Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As used in these notes, the terms “the Corporation” “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to First United Corporation and, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Corporation has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial condition date of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements.

Note 2 – COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and financial results and that of many of our customers, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted, and are largely outside of our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has created extensive disruptions to the global and U.S. economies and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects, including closures of businesses and schools, fiscal and monetary stimulus, and legislation designed to deliver financial aid and other relief. While the scope, duration, and full effects of COVID-19 are not fully known, the pandemic and the efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted market interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains.

Congress, the President, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), a $2 trillion legislative package, was signed into law at the end of March 2020. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors, such as by providing funds for loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings,” provides banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to trouble debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (the “Economic Aid Act”) was enacted on December 27, 2020 and provided for a second round of PPP loans. The PPP Extension Act of 2021, which was enacted on March 30, 2021, extended the PPP application deadline to May 31, 2021 and provided the SBA with additional time to process applications through June 30, 2021.  Also, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “CAA”) passed on December 27, 2020, which, among other things, extended the provisions of Section 4013 of the CARES Act to January 1, 2022. The Federal Reserve also tookReserve’s actions to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, includinghave included cutting the federal funds rate 150 basis points and targeting a 0 to 25 basis point rate. In addition to the general impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other legislative and regulatory relief efforts are expected to have a material impact on the Company’sCorporation’s operations.

the pandemic, delaying opening our lobbies until April 1, 2021.  During the third quarter, we made the decision to reclose our lobbies as COVID cases increased in most of our markets and staffing was at reduced levels.  Many of our sales and support employees continue to work remotely as we have adjusted to a hybrid work environment.  We have continued to monitor our market areas, maintaining travel protocols and utilizing safety precautions while continuing to provide full banking services to our customers.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Corporation continues to actively participatedparticipate in the PPP.  On January 19, 2021, the SBA implemented a secondthird round of funding for PPP loans.  The

During 2020, the Corporation originated a total of $148.5 million in PPP loans under the first and second rounds of funding, consisting of 1,174 loans with an average loan size of $162 thousand.  During 2021, the Corporation originated a total of $66.1 million in PPP loans duringunder the first six monthsthird round of 2021,funding, consisting of 870 loans with an average loan size of $80 thousand. New

Net PPP origination fees recognized in the first nine months of 2021 were $3.2 million due to amortization and forgiveness, compared to $2.4 million in 2020.

During 2020, 290 PPP loans, are no longer available.  A total of 1,174 loans totaling $148.5$34.5 million were originatedforgiven, resulting in 2020.  As of June 30, 2021, approximately $140.5 million have been forgiven885 loans with a remaining balance of $74.1 million.$114.0 million at December 31, 2020.   During the first nine months of 2021, an additional 1,384 PPP loans originated under all three rounds, with an aggregate principal balance of $150.0 million, were forgiven, resulting in 371 loans with a total remaining balance of $30.3 million at September 30, 2021.

Of the 2,046 PPP loans originated by the Corporation since the PPP’s inception, 1,675 loans, totaling $184.9 million, have been forgiven through the end of third quarter 2021, representing 86% of the number of loans originated and 82% of originated principal balances.

COVID Modifications

While the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on most industries, some have been more affected than others.  In accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and related regulatory pronouncements, we have not accounted for modifications of loans affected by the pandemic as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) nor have we designated them as past due or nonaccrual.  

As of July 16,October 15, 2021, there were 6modified loans not treated as TDRs consisted of 11 commercial loans totaling $7.3 million in total loan modifications relatedrelating to the real estate rental, food services and health care sectors.sectors and one mortgage loan, with an aggregate balance of $9.9 million.  These loans are scheduled to return to contractual payment terms within the next quarter.

Note 3 – Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is derived by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and does not include the effect of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is derived by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding common stock equivalents, such as restricted stock units (“RSUs”). At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, there were RSUs relating to 7,073 time-vested shares of common stock outstanding. There were 0 anti-dilutive shares at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 or 2020.

Management systematically evaluates securities for impairment on a quarterly basis. Based upon application of accounting guidance for subsequent measurement in ASC Topic 320 (ASC Section 320-10-35), management assesses whether (a) the Corporation has the intent to sell a security being evaluated and (b) it is more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the security prior to the anticipated recovery of any decline in fair value. If neither applies, then any decline in the fair value below the security’s cost that is considered an other-than-temporary decline is split into two components. The first component is the loss attributable to declining credit quality. Credit losses are recognized in earnings as realized losses in the period in which the impairment determination is made. The second component consists of all other losses, which are recognized in other comprehensive loss. In estimating other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area, (3) the historic and implied volatility of the fair value of the security, (4) changes in the rating of the security by a rating agency, (5) recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date, (6) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and (7) the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that increase in the future. Management also monitors cash flow projections for securities that are considered beneficial interests under the guidance of ASC Subtopic 325-40, Investments – Other – Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, (ASC Section 325-40-35).

Management believes that the valuation of certain securities is a critical accounting policy that requires significant estimates in preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements. Management utilizes an independent third party to prepare both the impairment valuations and fair value determinations for the Corporation’s collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) portfolio consisting of pooled trust preferred securities. See Note 97 for a discussion of the methodology used by management to determine the fair values of these securities. Based upon a review of credit quality and the cash flow tests performed by the independent third party, management determined that there were no securities that had credit-related OTTI charges during the first sixnine months of 2021 or 2020.

The Corporation believes that the investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 do not represent other-than-temporary impairment. The Corporation does not intend to sell, nor is it anticipated that the Corporation will be required to sell, any of its impaired investment securities at a loss.

The following tables present a cumulative roll-forward of the amount of non-cash OTTI charges related to credit losses that have been recognized in earnings for the trust preferred securities held in the CDO portfolio during the six monthnine and three month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 that the Corporation does not intend to sell:

The Bank modifies loan terms in the normal course of business. Among other reasons, modifications might be made in an effort to retain the loan relationship, to remain competitive in the current interest rate environment and/or to re-amortize or extend the loan’s term to better match the loan’s payment stream with the borrower’s cash flow. A modified loan is considered to be a TDR when the modification occurs in connection with a determination by the Bank has determined that the borrower is troubled (i.e., experiencing financial difficulties). TheIn deciding whether to modify a loan, the Bank evaluates the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt obligations in the foreseeable future without modification. To make this determination, the Bank performs a global financial review of the borrower and loan guarantors to assess their current abilityabilities to meet their financial obligations.

Section 4013 of the CARES Act allows financial institutions to suspend application of certain current TDRs accounting guidance under ASC 310-40 for loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency, provided certain criteria are met.

Section 4013 of the CARES Act allows financial institutions to suspend application of certain current TDRs accounting guidance under ASC 310-40 for loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency, provided certain criteria are met. This relief can be applied to loan modifications for borrowers that defer or delay the payment of principal or interest, or change the interest rate on the loan and that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. In April 2020, federal and state banking regulators issued the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus to provide further interpretation of when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, specifically indicating that if the modification is either short-term (i.e., up to nine months) or mandated by a federal or state government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty under ASC 310-40. The Corporation continues to prudently work with borrowers negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic while managing credit risks and recognizing appropriate allowance for credit losses on its loan portfolio. See Note 2 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information.

There were 14 loans totaling $3.8 million and $4.0 million that were classified as TDRs at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.  The following tables present the volume and recorded investment in TDRs at the times they were modified, by class and type of modification that occurred during the periods indicated:

Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is best determined by values quoted through active trading markets. Active trading markets are characterized by numerous transactions of similar financial instruments between willing buyers and willing sellers. Because no active trading market exists for various types of financial instruments, many of the fair values disclosed were derived using present value discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques described below. As a result, the Corporation’s ability to actually realize these derived values cannot be assumed.

The Corporation measures fair values based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Paragraph 820-10-35-37. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1

24

Table of Contents

measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value under the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets and liabilities. This level is the most reliable source of valuation.

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

24

Table of Contents

liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates). It also includes inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs). Several sources are utilized for valuing these assets, including a contracted valuation service, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) evaluations and pricing services, and other valuation matrices.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the valuation assumptions and not readily observable in the market (i.e. supported with little or no market activity). Level 3 instruments are valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed, and consider risk premiums that a market participant would require.

The level established within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Management believes that the Corporation’s valuation techniques are appropriate and consistent with the techniques used by other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies and assumptions could result in a different estimate of fair values at the reporting date. The valuation techniques used by the Corporation to measure, on a recurring basis and on a non-recurring basis, the fair value of assets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 are discussed in the paragraphs that follow.

Investments – The fair value of investments is determined using a market approach. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the U.S. Government agencies, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and state and political subdivisions bonds, excluding the tax increment financing (“TIF”) bonds, were classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Their fair values were determined based upon market-corroborated inputs and valuation matrices, which were obtained through third party data service providers or securities brokers through which the Corporation has historically transacted both purchases and sales of investment securities. The TIF bonds were classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy as they are not openly traded.

The CDO segment, which consists of pooled trust preferred securities issued by banks, thrifts and insurance companies, is classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the Corporation owned 9 trust preferred securities with an amortized cost of $18.6 million and a fair value of $16.2$17.1 million. At JuneAs of September 30, 2021, the market for these securities iswas not active and the markets for similar securities arewere also not active. Recent developments in the credit markets have had a negative impact on the market for CDOs. Specifically, as COVID-19 developed, which led to deteriorating performance of credit instruments, investors became less willing to buy a range of structured credit products. The result was massive spread-widening across a wide range of credit instruments, and for CDO bonds in particular. At present, we believe that it is not currently economically feasible to form new CDOs or restructure existing CDOs, as the market for CDO bonds has effectively disappeared. The market values for these securities or any securities other than those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury are depressed relative to historical levels. Therefore, in the current market, a low market price for a particular bond may only provide evidence of stress in the credit markets in general rather than being an indicator of credit problems with a particular issue. Given the conditions in the current debt markets and the absence of observable transactions in the secondary and new issue markets, management has determined that (a) the few observable transactions and market quotations that are available are not reliable for the purpose of obtaining fair value at JuneSeptember 30, 2021, (b) an income valuation approach technique (i.e. present value) that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs will be equally or more representative of fair value than a market approach, and (c) the CDO segment is appropriately classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy because management determined that significant adjustments were required to determine fair value at the measurement date.

25

Table of Contents

Management uses an independent third party to prepare both the evaluations of OTTI as well as the fair value determinations for its CDO portfolio. Management believes that the valuations are adequately reflected at JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

The approach used by the third party to determine fair value involved several steps, which included detailed credit and structural evaluation of each piece of collateral in each bond, projection of default, recovery and prepayment/amortization probabilities for each piece of collateral in the bond, and discounted cash flow modeling. The discount rate methodology used by the third party combines a baseline current market yield for comparable corporate and structured credit products with adjustments based on evaluations of the differences found in structure and risks associated with actual and projected credit performance of each CDO being valued. Currently, the only active and liquid trading market that exists is for stand-alone trust preferred securities, with

25

Table of Contents

a limited market for highly-rated CDO securities that are more senior in the capital structure than the securities in the CDO portfolio. Therefore, adjustments to the baseline discount rate are also made to reflect the additional leverage found in structured instruments.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, these conditions had a minimal impact on the trust preferred bonds, although there has been a significant effect on several asset classes in the equity and fixed income markets related to COVID-19. Management will continue to review assumptions as they relate to the impact of COVID-19 during the remainder of the year.

Derivative financial instruments (Cash flow hedge) – The Corporation’s open derivative positions are interest rate swap agreements. Those classified as Level 2 open derivative positions are valued using externally developed pricing models based on observable market inputs provided by a third party and validated by management.  The Corporation has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap assets.

Impaired loans – Fair value of the collateral dependent loans is measured based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral (less estimated selling costs). Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets such as equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable collateral is based on either net book value of the business’ financial statements or evaluations/appraisals obtained by the Bank.   If necessary, these values may be discounted based on management’s review and analysis.  Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical experience, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional individual reserve and adjusted accordingly, based on the factors identified above.

Other real estate owned – OREO included in the table below are considered impaired with specific write-downs. OREO is adjusted to fair value upon acquisition of the real estate collateral. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for OREO included in Level 3 is determined by independent market based appraisals and other available market information, less costs to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If the fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to initial recognition, the CompanyCorporation records the OREO as a nonrecurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

There were 0 gains or losses included in earnings attributable to the change in realized/unrealized gains or losses related to the assets for the sixnine and three month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 or 2020.

The disclosed fair values may vary significantly between institutions based on the estimates and assumptions used in the various valuation methodologies. The derived fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant judgment. Therefore, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the assumptions could significantly impact the derived estimates of fair value. Disclosure of non-financial assets such as buildings, as well as certain financial instruments such as leases is not required. Accordingly, the aggregate fair values presented do not represent the underlying value of the Corporation.

29

The following tables present fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The actual carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments that are included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition are as follows:

The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in salaries and benefits and all other components of net periodic benefit cost are included in other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Pension Plan and the Defined Benefit SERP.

The Pension Plan is a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers our employees who were hired prior to the freeze and others who were grandfathered into the plan. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ compensation during the last five years of employment.  

Effective April 30, 2010, the Pension Plan was amended, resulting in a “soft freeze”, the effect of which prohibits new entrants into the plan and ceases crediting of additional years of service after that date. Effective January 1, 2013, the Pension Plan was amended to unfreeze it for those employees for whom the sum of their (a) ages, at their closest birthday plus (b) years of service for vesting purposes equals 80 or greater. The “soft freeze” continues to apply to all other plan participants. Pension benefits for these participants are managed through discretionary contributions to the First United Corporation 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).

The Bank established the Defined Benefit SERP in 2001 as an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan. The Defined Benefit SERP is available only to a select group of management or highly compensated employees to provide supplemental retirement benefits in excess of limits imposed on qualified plans by federal tax law. Concurrent with the establishment of the Defined Benefit SERP, the Bank acquired Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) policies on the senior management personnel and officers of the Bank. The benefits resulting from the favorable tax treatment accorded the earnings on the BOLI policies are intended to provide a source of funds for the future payment of the Defined Benefit SERP benefits as well as other employee benefit costs.

The benefit obligation activity for both the Pension Plan and the Defined Benefit SERP was calculated using an actuarial measurement date of January 1. Plan assets and the benefit obligations were calculated using an actuarial measurement date of December 31.

Table of Contents

The Corporation will assess the need for future annual contributions to the pension plan based upon its funded status and an evaluation of the future benefits to be provided thereunder. NaN contributions were made to the Pension Plan during the first threenine months of 2021 and a contribution of $1.0 million was made during the first threenine months of 2020. The Corporation expects to fund the annual projected benefit payments for the Defined Benefit SERP from operations.

On January 9, 2015, First United Corporation and members of management who do not participate in the Defined Benefit SERP entered into participation agreements under the Deferred Compensation Plan, each styled as a Defined Contribution SERP Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to each Contribution Agreement, First United Corporation agreed, for each Plan Year (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) in which it determines that it has been Profitable (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), to make a discretionary contribution to the participant’s Employer Account in an amount equal to 15% of the participant’s base salary level for such Plan Year, with the first Plan Year being the year ending December 31, 2015. The Contribution Agreement provides that the participant will become 100% vested in the amount maintained in his or her Employer Account upon the earliest to occur of the following events: (a) Normal Retirement (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); (b)  Separation from Service (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) following a Change of Control (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan) and subsequent Triggering Event (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); (c) Separation from Service due to a Disability (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); (d) with respect to a particular award of Employer Contribution Credits, the participant’s completion of 2 consecutive Years of Service (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) immediately following the Plan Year for which such award was made; or (e) death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a participant will

38

Table of Contents

lose entitlement to the amount maintained in his or her Employer Account in the event employment is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Contribution Agreement). In addition, the Contribution Agreement conditions entitlement to the amounts held in the Employer Account on the participant (1) refraining from engaging in Competitive Employment (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) for three years following his or her Separation from Service, (2) refraining from injurious disclosure of confidential information concerning the Corporation, and (3) remaining available, at the First United Corporation’s reasonable request, to provide at least six hours of transition services per month for 12 months following his or her Separation from Service (except in the case of death or Disability), except that only item (2) will apply in the event of a Separation from Service following a Change of Control and subsequent Triggering Event.

In January 2019, the Board approved discretionary contributions to four participants totaling $123,179. The contributions had a two year vesting period that ended on December 31, 2020. In January 2020, the Board of Directors of First United Corporation approved discretionary contributions to 4 participants totaling $126,058. The Corporation recorded $31,514$47,271 of related compensation expense for the first sixnine months of 2021 and 2020.  The Corporation recorded $15,757 for the secondthird quarters of 2021 and 2020 related to these contributions. In January 2021, the Board of Directors approved discretionary contributions to 3 participants totaling $101,257. The Corporation recorded $25,314$37,971 of related compensation expense for the first sixnine months of 2021 and $12,657 for the secondthird quarter of 2021 related to these contributions. Each discretionary contribution has a two year vesting period.

Note 10 - Equity Compensation Plan Information

At the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, First United Corporation’s shareholders approved the First United Corporation 2018 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Equity Plan”) which authorizes the issuance of up to 325,000 shares of common stock to employees, directors and qualifying consultants pursuant to stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, dividend equivalents, and other stock-based awards.

The Corporation complies with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, in measuring and disclosing stock compensation cost.  The measurement objective in ASC Paragraph 718-10-30-6 requires public companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized in expense over the period in which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period).

Stock based awards were made to non-employee directors in June 2020 pursuantPursuant to First United Corporation’s director compensation policy. Eachpolicy, each director receives an annual retainer of 1,000 shares of First United Corporation common stock, plus $10,000 to be paid, at the director’s election, in cash or additional shares of common stock. In June 2020, a total of 13,160 fully vested shares of common stock were issued to directors, which had a grant date fair market value of $14.52 per share. In July 2020, a total of 916 fully vested shares of common stock were issued to a new director, which had a grant date fair market value of $11.22 per share. In May 2021, a total of 12,726 fully vested shares of common stock were issued to directors, which had a grant date fair value of $18.50 per share.  Director stock compensation expense was $132,860 $191,717

39

Table of Contents

for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and $106,681$158,795 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Director stock compensation expense was $62,644$58,857 for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and $39,698$52,114 for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

Restricted Stock Units

On March 26, 2020, pursuant to the Corporation’s Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"), which is a sub-plan of the Equity Plan, the Compensation Committee of theFirst United Corporation’s Board of Directors (the "Committee") granted RSUs to the Corporation’s principal executive officer, its principal financial officer, and certain of its other executive officers. An RSU contemplates the issuance of shares of common stock of theFirst United Corporation if and when the RSU vests.

The RSUs granted to each of the foregoing officers consist of (a) a performance vesting award for a three year performance period ending December 31, 2021, (b) a performance vesting award for a three year performance period ending December 31, 2022, and (c) a time-vesting award that will vest ratably over a three year period beginning on March 26, 2021. Target performance levels were set based on the annual budget which supports the Company’sCorporation’s long-term objective of achieving high performance as compared to peers. Threshold performance is the minimum level of acceptable performance as defined by the Committee and maximum performance represented a level potentially achievable under ideal circumstances. Achievement of the threshold performance level

39

Table of Contents

would result in each executive participant earning a payout at 50% of his or her respective target award opportunity. Achievement of the target performance level would result in the executive participant earning the target award and achievement at or above the maximum performance level would result in the executive participant earning 150% of the target opportunity. Actual results for any goal that falls between performance levels would be interpolated to calculate a proportionate award. For the performance period ending December 31, 2021, the RSUs’ performance goal is based on earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 2021. For the performance period ending December 31, 2022, the RSUs’ performance goals are based on earnings per share for the year ending December 31, 2022 and growth in tangible book value per share during the performance period. The threshold, target and maximum performance levels for these grants will be disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K following the conclusion of the applicable performance period.

To receive any shares under an RSU, a grantee must be employed by the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries on the applicable vesting date, except that a grantee whose employment terminates prior to such vesting date due to death, disability or retirement will be entitled to a pro-rated portion of the shares subject to the RSUs, assuming that, in the case of performance-vesting RSUs, the performance goals had been met at their "target" levels.

In the first quarter of 2020, RSUs relating to 19,934 performance vestedvesting shares and 5,070 time vestedvesting shares of common stock (target level) were granted, which had a grant date fair market value of $12.54 per share of common stock underlying each RSU. On March 26, 2021, 1,690 of the 5,070 time vestedvesting shares were issued to participants.  Stock compensation expense was $52,254$78,381 and $62,484$93,727 for the first sixnine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.  Stock compensation expense was $26,127 and $31,242$31,243 for the three month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020. Unrecognized compensation expense at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 related to unvested unitsRSUs was $136,300.$110,173.

In May 2021, RSUs relating to 7,389 performance vestedvesting shares and 3,693 time vestedvesting shares of common stock (target level) were granted, which had a grant date fair market value of $17.93 per share of common stock underlying each RSU.  These RSUs are related to the 2021 plan granted in the second quarter of 2021. The performance vesting awardperiod for athe performance-vesting RSUs is the three year performance period ending December 31, 2023, and a2023.  The time-vesting award thatRSUs will vest ratably over a three year period beginning on May 5, 2022. Stock compensation expense was $11,048$27,619 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021.  Stock compensation expense was $16,571 for the three and six month periodsmonths ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021.  Unrecognized compensation expense at Juneas of September 30, 2021 related to unvested units was $187,806.$171,235.

Note 11 – Derivative Financial Instruments

As a part of managing interest rate risk, the Bank entered into interest rate swap agreements to modify the re-pricing characteristics of certain interest-bearing liabilities. The Corporation has designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges under the guidance of ASC Subtopic 815-30, Derivatives and Hedging – Cash Flow Hedges. Cash flow hedges have the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative, net of taxes, recorded in net accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Table of Contents

In March 2016, the Corporation entered into 4 interest rate swap contracts totaling $30.0 million notional amount, hedging future cash flows associated with floating rate trust preferred debt. These contracts included a three year $5.0 million contract that matured on September 17, 2019, a five year $5.0 million contract that matured on March 17, 2021, a seven year $5.0 million contract that matures on March 17, 2023 and a 10 year $15.0 million contract that matures on March 17, 2026. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, $20.0 million notional amount remains.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts was $(834)$(727) thousand and $(1.3) million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the Corporation recorded an increase in the value of the derivatives of $485$594 thousand and the related deferred tax of $114$62 thousand in net accumulated other comprehensive loss to reflect the effective portion of cash flow hedges.

There was 0 hedge ineffectiveness recorded for the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021. The Corporation does not expect any material losses relating to these hedges to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Interest rate swap agreements are entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and the Corporation believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts is not significant as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

Note 12 – Revenue Recognition

ASC Topic 606606- Revenue from Contracts with Customers, does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. ASC Topic 606 is applicabledoes apply to noninterest revenue streams, such as wealth management, including trust and brokerage services, service charges on deposit accounts, interchange fee income – debit card income, and gains/losses on OREO sales. Noninterest revenue streams in-scopethat are within the scope of ASC Topic 606 are discussed below.

Wealth Management

Trust and asset management income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Corporation’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon the month-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. Optional services such as real estate

41

Table of Contents

sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Corporation’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Corporation’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Corporation’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Interchange Fees – Debit and Credit Card Income

Fees, exchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Corporation’s debit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a

41

Table of Contents

Corporation cardholder uses a non-Corporation ATM or a non-Corporation cardholder uses a Corporation ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Corporation’s performance obligation for fees, exchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scopethat are within and out-of-scopeoutside the scope of ASC Topic 606, for the sixnine and three month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and JuneSeptember 30, 2020:

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the Bank and the Corporation arewere considered “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.   The ratios at the Bank and Consolidated levels were negatively impacted primarily due to the increased funding from the Bank to the holding company related to the settlement expenses and the stock repurchase program.  The decrease at the Corporation level is related to the stock repurchase of 400,000 shares of common stock and the reduction to capital.

First United Corporation’s stock repurchase plan was initially adopted effective January 27, 2021, which authorized the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares of common stock of First United Corporation. The plan authorizes the repurchases to be conducted through open market or private transactions at such times and in such amounts per transaction as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of First United Corporation determines to be appropriate.  

42

Table of Contents

On April 16, 2021, (the “Effective Date”), First United Corporation (the “Corporation”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Driver Opportunity Partners I LP (“Driver Partners”) under which, pursuant to the Corporation’sforegoing stock repurchase program authorized by the Corporation’s Board of Directors on January 27, 2021, theprogram.  First United Corporation agreed to repurchase from Driver Partners 360,737 shares of theits common stock par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporationheld by Driver Partners at a purchase price of $18.00 per share.

Note 14 – Assets and Liabilities Subject to Enforceable Master Netting Arrangements

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Corporation has entered into interest rate swap agreements to modify the re-pricing characteristics of certain interest-bearing liabilities as a part of managing interest rate risk. The swap agreements have been designated as cash flow hedges, and accordingly, the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts is reported in Other Assets or Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The swap agreements were entered into with a third-party financial institution. The Corporation is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparty; however, the Corporation does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral, in the form of cash and investment securities, are pledged by the Corporation as the counterparty with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (“Repurchase Agreements”)

The Bank enters into agreements under which it sells interests in U.S. government agency securities to certain customers subject to an obligation to repurchase, and on the part of the customers to resell, such interests. Under these arrangements, the Bank may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the

43

Table of Contents

Bank to repurchase the assets. As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities asset accounts. There is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. In addition, as the Bank does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements, there is no such offsetting to be done with the repurchase agreements. The right of setoff for a repurchase agreement resembles a secured borrowing, whereby the collateral would be used to settle the fair value of the repurchase agreement should the Bank be in default (i.e. fails to repurchase the U.S. securities on the maturity date of the agreement). The investment security collateral, maintained at 102% of the borrowing, is held by a third party financial institution in the counterparty’s custodial account.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or repurchase agreements at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 15 – Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchases financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new model referred to as current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (a) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost; and (b) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes loans, held to maturity debt securities, loan commitments, financial guarantees and net investments in leases as well as reinsurance and trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for SEC filers for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. In November 2019, the FASB approved a delay of the required implementation date of ASU No. 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Corporation, resulting in a required implementation date for the Corporation of January 1, 2023.

Management has formed a focus group consisting of multiple members from areas, including credit, finance, loan servicing, reporting, and information systems. The Corporation is completing its data and model validation analyses, with parallel processing of our existing allowance for loan losses model with the CECL model to follow. The Corporation is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).”  The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendment only applies to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of the reference rate reform. The ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on the loan portfolio, investment portfolio, long term debt and interest rate swaps, but believes that its adoption will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of material changes in and significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of First United Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods indicated. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in Item 1 of Part I of this report, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in First United Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Unless the context clearly suggests otherwise, references in this report to “us”, “we”, “our”, and “the Corporation” are to First United Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements do not represent historical facts, but are statements about management’s beliefs, plans and objectives about the future, as well as its assumptions and judgments concerning such beliefs, plans and objectives. These statements are evidenced by terms such as "anticipate," "estimate," "should," "expect," "believe," "intend," and similar expressions. Although these statements reflect management’s good faith beliefs and projections, they are not guarantees of future performance and they may not prove true. The beliefs, plans and objectives on which forward-looking statements are based involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see the section of the periodic reports that First United Corporation files with the Securities and Exchange Commission entitled "Risk Factors", including the risk factor set forth in First United Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2020 entitled, “The outbreak of the recent coronavirus (‘COVID-19’), or an outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease, could adversely affect the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations.” and any updates thereto that might be contained in subsequent reports filed by First United Corporation. The risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Corporation will depend on, among other things, the length of time that the pandemic continues; the duration of  the potential imposition of further restrictions on travel in the future; the effect of the pandemic on the global, national, and local economies and on the businesses of our borrowers and their ability to make payments on their obligations; the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by federal, state, and local governments; and the inability of employees to work due to illness, quarantine, or government mandates.

FIRST UNITED CORPORATION

First United Corporation is a Maryland corporation chartered in 1985 and a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.  The Corporation’s primary business is serving as the parent company of First United Bank & Trust, a Maryland trust company (the “Bank”), First United Statutory Trust I (“Trust I”) and First United Statutory Trust II (“Trust II” and together with Trust I, the “Trusts”), both Connecticut statutory business trusts.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and financial results and that of many of our customers, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted, and are largely outside of our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has created extensive disruptions to the global and U.S. economies and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects, including closures of businesses and schools, fiscal and monetary stimulus, and legislation designed to deliver financial aid and other relief. While the scope, duration, and full effects of COVID-19 are not fully known, the pandemic and the efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted market interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains.

Congress, the President, and the FRB have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), a $2 trillion legislative package, was signed into law at the end of March 2020. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors, such as by providing funds for loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) administered by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings,” provides banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to trouble debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (the “Economic Aid Act”) was enacted on December 27, 2020 and provided for a second round of PPP loans. The PPP Extension Act of 2021, which was enacted on March 30, 2021, extended the PPP application deadline to May 31, 2021 and provided the SBA with additional time to process applications through June 30, 2021.  Also, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “CAA”) passed on December 27, 2020, which, among other things, extended the provisions of Section 4013 of the CARES Act to January 1, 2022. The Federal Reserve also tookReserve’s actions to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, includinghave included cutting the federal funds rate 150 basis points and targeting a 0 to 25 basis point rate. In addition to the general impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other legislative and regulatory relief efforts are expected to have a material impact on the Company’sCorporation’s operations.  

During the first sixnine months of 2021, we continued to assist our business customers with the PPP loan forgiveness process and to originate additional PPP loans.loans through the third round of funding. We remained diligent in protecting our associates and customers from the lingering effects of the pandemic, delaying opening our lobbies until April 1, 2021.  During the third quarter, we made the decision to reclose our lobbies as COVID cases increased in most of our markets and staffing was at reduced levels.  Many of our sales and support employees continue to work remotely as we have adjusted to a hybrid work environment.  We have continued to monitor our market areas, maintaining travel protocols and utilizing safety precautions while continuing to provide full banking services to our customers.

Paycheck Protection Program

The Corporation continues to actively participatedparticipate in the PPP.  On January 19, 2021, the SBA implemented a secondthird round of funding for PPP loans.  The

During 2020, the Corporation originated a total of $148.5 million in PPP loans under the first and second rounds of funding, consisting of 1,174 loans with an average loan size of $162 thousand.  During 2021, the Corporation originated a total of $66.1 million in PPP loans duringunder the first six monthsthird round of 2021,funding, consisting of 870 loans with an average loan size of $80 thousand. New

Net PPP origination fees recognized in the first nine months of 2021 were $3.2 million due to amortization and forgiveness, compared to $2.4 million in 2020.

During 2020, 290 PPP loans, are no longer available. A total of 1,174 loans totaling $148.5$34.5 million were originatedforgiven, resulting in 2020. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $140.5 million have been forgiven885 loans with a remaining balance of $74.1 million.$114.0 million at December 31, 2020.   During the first nine months of 2021, an additional 1,384 PPP loans originated under all three rounds, with an aggregate principal balance of $150.0 million, were forgiven, resulting in 371 PPP loans with a total remaining balance of $30.3 million at September 30, 2021.

46

Table of Contents

Of the 2,046 PPP loans originated by the Corporation since the PPP’s inception, 1,675 loans, totaling $184.9 million, have been forgiven through the end of third quarter 2021, representing 86% of the number of loans originated and 82% of originated principal balances.

COVID Modifications

While the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on most industries, some have been more affected than others.  In accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and related regulatory pronouncements, we have not accounted for modifications of loans affected by the pandemic as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) nor have we designated them as past due or nonaccrual.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $7.8$12.2 million, inclusive of litigation settlement expenses of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021and FHLB prepayment penalties of $2.4 million, compared to $4.3$9.3 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.  Basic and diluted net income per share for the first nine months of 2021 were both $1.81, a 37.1% increase when compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $1.32 for the same period of 2020.

The increase in earnings for the first nine months of 2021 was attributable to an increase in net interest income of $2.2 million, reduced provision expense of $4.9 million and an increase in other operating income, including gains on sales of mortgage loans and securities’ of $1.3 million.  These changes were partially offset by an increase in other operating expenses of $4.0 million, inclusive of the $3.3 million in litigation settlement expenses and the $2.4 million FHLB prepayment penalty.

the first six months of 2021 were both $1.15, compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $0.62 for the same period of 2020, an 85.5% increase.

The increase in earnings for the first six months of 2021 was attributable to an increase in net interest income of $0.5 million, an increase in other operating income, including gains, of $1.8 million and a decrease in provision expense of $4.2 million, partially offset by an increase in other operating expenses of $1.5 million, inclusive of the $3.3 million in litigation settlement expenses.

The provision for loan losses was $0.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and $4.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2020. Net charge-offs of $83 thousand were recorded for the first six months of 2021, compared to net charge offs of $0.3 million for first six months of 2020. The higher provision expense recorded in 2021 was driven by an increase in the qualitative factors reflecting the uncertainty of the economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our borrowers. The ratio of the ALL to loans outstanding, including PPP loan balances, was 1.49% at June 30, 2021 compared to 1.43% at June 30, 2020 and 1.41% at December 31, 2020.  The ratio of ALL to loans outstanding, on a non-GAAP basis, excluding PPP loan balances of $74.1 million, was 1.59% at June 30, 2021.

Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”)FTE basis, increased by $0.5$2.2 million (1.9%(5.9%) during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 when compared withto the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 driven by a $1.7$2.7 million (32.4%(36.5%) decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $1.2$0.5 million.  The decrease in interest expense resulted from proactive efforts to reduce the cost of funds by further reductions to rates on deposit accounts throughout 2021, the runoff of balances in the time deposits of $100,000 or more, including brokered deposits, and the expiration of empowered rates on money market accounts.  The prepayment of the FHLB advances in the third quarter should significantly reduce interest expense in the fourth quarter and future years.  The net interest margin, on aan FTE basis, declined to 3.21% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 to 3.13% compared to 3.61%3.43% for the same period of 2020.  

The decrease in interest income was driven by a slight decrease in interest and fees on loans and reduced income on the investment portfolio. WhileExcluding the average balance of PPP loans of $100.6 million and interest and fees of $4.0 million, the investment portfolio increased by $65.8 million, bonds at higher yielding rates were called and replaced with lower yielding investments, resulting in a decrease in average yield on the investment portfolio of 118 basis points. The increase in the average balance of investments is due to a strategic decision in December 2020 to invest $70.0 million of excess cash into the investment portfolio. Significantly higher cash levels invested at an average yield on Fed Funds of 0.08% for the first six months of 2021, compared to 0.52% for the first six months of 2020, also negatively impacted thenet interest margin for the first six months of 2021. The increase in average balance of loans of $82.8 million, primarily driven by PPP loans, offset the declining yield in the portfolio leading to slightly reduced interest and fees on loans when comparing the first six months of 2021 to the first six months of 2020. The average balances of PPP loans of approximately $126.6 million generated $2.6 million of interest and fees but had a negative impact on the margin. The average loan yield was also negatively impacted by the low-rate environment, which resulted in loan production and loans repricing at lower rates. These factors resulted in a decrease of approximately 38 basis points in average loan yield when compared with the sixnine months ended June 30, 2020.September 2021 was 3.07%.

The decrease in interest expense of $1.7 million, despite an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $117.9 million, was a direct result of a reduction in the cost of deposits of 28 basis points, a 3 basis point decrease in the cost of our short-term borrowings and a 67 basis point decrease in the cost of long-term borrowings. The decrease in the rate on long-term borrowings was primarily due to the restructuring of three long-term FHLB advances late in the fourth quarter of 2020 that resulted in a reduced weighted average rate of 80 basis points on the $70.0 million portfolio. The average balance on our interest-bearing money market accounts increased $49.1 million, while the rate on these accounts decreased by 43 basis points.   Average growth of $140.9 million in our non-interest-bearing accounts benefited our overall cost of deposits.

Other operating income, including net gains on sales of mortgage loans and sales of investment securities, increased $1.8$1.3 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 when compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.  Gains on the sale of mortgagesmortgage loans to the secondary market which we have utilizeddecreased $0.5 million due to refinancing activity occurring at a slower pace than the pace experienced in lieu of retaining long-term fixed rate loans in our portfolio, increased $0.1 million related to continued refinancing activity.2020. Trust and brokerage income increased $0.9$1.2 million year-over-year due to continued growth in new client relationships and assets under management.  Debit card income increased $0.4$0.6 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 when compared withto the same period of 2020 as we continueddue to grow ourgrowth in deposit relationships and our customers increase useincreased customer usage of our electronic services. Other income increased $0.4$0.5 million, due primarily to the receipt of insurance proceeds related to litigation claims recorded in the first quarter of 2021. Service charge income remained stable when comparing the sixfirst nine months of 2021 to the same time period of 2020.

Other operating expenses increased $1.5$4.0 million inclusive of litigation settlement expenses, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 when compared withto the same period of 2020.  This increase was driven by $3.3 million of litigation settlement expenses recorded in the first quarter of 2021 and a $2.4 million penalty on the prepayment of $70.0 million FHLB advances in the third quarter of 2021.  Salaries and benefits decreased $0.4 millionremained stable when compared to the sixfirst nine months of 2020, primarily due to reductions of $0.2 millionas increases in salaries, incentive pay and stock compensation were offset by decreases in pension and life and health insurance costs, a $0.5$0.3 million offset in salary expense

from deferred loan origination costs primarily attributable to PPP loans and $0.1 million of reduced executive equity compensation due to a timing difference in long-term incentive grants.  These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.4 million in salaries, incentives and related payroll costs.  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums increased slightly by $0.2 million due to credits received on quarterly assessments in 2020. Equipment, occupancy and technology expenses decreased $0.6$0.9 million when compared to the sixfirst nine months of 2020 as we began to realize cost savings from our core processor related to a new contract negotiated in the fourth quarter of 2020. OREOOther real estate owned (“OREO”) expenses were a net credit in the first sixnine months of 2021 due to $0.8 million in gains attributable to the sale of OREO properties.  Professional services increased $0.8 million as a result of increased legal and professional fees related to shareholder litigation early in 2021, partially offset by decreased investor relations expenses related to the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders and related litigation.expenses.

Consolidated net income was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2020.  Basic and diluted net income per common share for the second quarter of 2021 were both $0.66, compared to basic and diluted net income per common share of $0.37 for the second quarter of 2020, an 78.4% increase.

The increase in earnings for the second quarter of 2021 was due to stable net interest income (inclusive of PPP origination fee accretion), an increase in other operating income, including gains, of approximately $0.5 million, a decrease in provision expense of $1.6 million and a decrease in other operating expenses of $0.4 million.

The provision for loan losses was $0.6$0.1 million for the three month periodnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and $2.2$5.0 million for the three month periodnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.  The higher provision expense recorded in 2021the first nine months of 2020 was driven by an increase in the qualitative factors reflecting the uncertainty of the economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemicpandemic. Net recoveries of $0.4 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net charge offs of $1.3 million for the same period of 2020. The ratio of the ALL to loans outstanding, including PPP loan balances, was 1.46% at September 30, 2021 compared to 1.36% at September 30, 2020 and its impact1.41% at December 31, 2020.  The ALL to loans outstanding, excluding PPP loan balances of $30.3 million and $148.9 million, was 1.49% at September 30, 2021 and 1.55% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, non-GAAP.

Consolidated net income was $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2020.  Basic and diluted net income per share for the third quarter of 2021 were both $0.66, a 5.7% decrease when compared to basic and diluted net income per share of $0.70 for the third quarter of 2020.  The decline in earnings in the third quarter of 2021 was due to an increase in net interest income, a credit to provision expense, and increased wealth management income, offset by increased non-interest expenses, including the prepayment penalty of $2.4 million on our borrowers.FHLB borrowings.

Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased $0.1by $1.7 million (0.9%(14.2%) duringfor the secondthird quarter 2021 when compared to the third quarter of 2021 over the same period2020.  This increase resulted from an increase in 2020interest income of $0.7 million and was driven by a decrease in interest expense of approximately $0.8 million (31.7%), offset by a $0.7 million (4.4%) decrease$1.1 million.  The increase in interest income.  The netincome on loans was a result of increased interest margin foron consumer loans related to the purchase of a loan pool in the second quarter of 2021 was 3.15%, compared to 3.53% for the second quarter of 2020.  

Participation in the PPP, withas well as an average outstanding loan balance of $110.7 million and a loan rate of 1.0% at June 30, 2021, negatively impacted the margin for the second quarter of 2021 by 12 basis points.  However, deferred fees of approximately $1.3 million recognized during the second quarter of 2021 positively impacted the margin by 28 basis points, with a net positive impact of 16 basis points.  Continued elevated cash levels have also negatively impacted the margin. We expect to see continued margin compression during the remainder of 2021 as deposit rates approach floors and loans continue to reprice to lower rates.

The decrease in interest income was driven by a slight decrease in interest and fees on loans and reduced income on the investment portfolio. While the average balance of the investment portfolio increased by $72.3 million, bonds at higher yielding rates were called and replaced with lower yielding investments, resulting in a decrease in average yield on the investment portfolio of 128 basis points. The increase in the average balance of investments is due to a strategic decision in December 2020 to invest $70.0 million of excess cash into the investment portfolio. Significantly higher cash levels invested also negatively impacted the margin for the second quarter of 2021 when comparedunearned fees related to the second quarter of 2020. The increase in average balance of loans of $9.0 million, primarily driven by PPP loans, offset the declining yield in the portfolio leading to slightly reduced interest and fees on loans when comparing the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2020. The average loan yield was also negatively impacted by the low-rate environment, which resulted in loan production and loans repricing at lower rates. These factors resulted in a decrease of approximately 12 basis points in average loan yield when compared with the second quarter of 2020.

The decrease in interest expense of $0.8 million, despite an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $81.3 million, was a direct result of a reduction in the cost of deposits of 23 basis points, a 1 basis point decrease in the cost of our short-term borrowings and a 68 basis point decrease in the cost of long-term borrowings. The decrease in the rate on long-term borrowings is primarily due to the restructuring of three long-term FHLB advances late in the fourth quarter of 2020 that resulted in a reduced weighted average rate of 80 basis points on the $70.0 million portfolio. The average balance on our interest-bearing money market accounts increased $7.9 million, while the rate on these accounts decreased by 33 basis points.   Average growth of $105.4 million in our non-interest-bearing accounts benefited our overall cost of deposits.

Other operating income, including gains, for the second quarter of 2021 increased by approximately $0.5 million when compared with the same period of 2020.  Service charge income increased by $0.2 millionforgiveness during the second quarter of 2021 when compared with the second quarter of 2020.  Trust and brokerage income increased $0.5 million due to increased production and

the quarter.  The reduction of interest expense resulted from the further reduction of deposit rates early in the third quarter and the declining balances in the higher cost CD portfolio.  The prepayment of the FHLB advances should positively impact interest expense for the remainder of 2021 and future years.  The weighted rate on the $70.0 million FHLB long-term borrowings was 1.90%.  The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 3.38%, compared to 3.12% for the third quarter of 2020.  Excluding the average balance of PPP loans of $48.5 million and interest and fees of $1.4 million, the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 3.12%.

Other operating income, including gains, for the third quarter of 2021 decreased by approximately $0.6 million when compared to the same period of 2020.  Service charge income remained stable during the third quarter of 2021 when compared to the third quarter of 2020.  Trust and brokerage income increased $0.3 million due to increased production and market values on assets under management.  Net gains decreased $0.4$1.1 million when comparing the secondthird quarter of 2021 to the secondthird quarter of 2020.  WhileThis decrease was due to the slowing of refinancing activity continued intoin the secondmortgage portfolio, which resulted in less gains on sales as well as no sales activity in the investment portfolio during the third quarter of 2021.  Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) income decreased by $0.1 million when comparing the third quarter of 2021 the pace of activity slowed when compared to the secondthird quarter of 2020 which resulteddue to the receipt of policy proceeds in reduced gains on the salethird quarter of mortgages.2020.

Other operating expenses decreasedincreased by $0.4$2.5 million when comparing the secondthird quarter of 2021 to the secondthird quarter of 2020.  This decreaseincrease was driven by reduced occupancy, equipment and technology service during the second quarter of 2021 when compared with the second quarter of 2020 as we began to see reduced costs associated with our core processor due to contract negotiations during 2020. Investor relations costs decreased by $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2021 when compared with the second quarter of 2020 due to costs associated with the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders.  These changes were partially offset by increasedan increase in salaries and benefits of $0.3 million related to a reduction in deferred loan origination costs in 2021 (primarily related to PPP activities) and an increasethe $2.4 million prepayment penalties incurred in connection with the prepayment of the FHLB advances.  As noted above, the prepayment was a strategic decision to use $70.0 million of cash for the purpose of reducing the cost of funds for the remainder of 2021 and future years.  Occupancy, equipment and technology service expenses were stable during the third quarter of 2021 when compared to the third quarter of 2020.  Investor relations and professional services relatedcosts were also stable during the third quarter of 2021 when compared to final legal expenses associated with litigation that was settled in April 2021.the third quarter of 2020.  Other miscellaneous expenses, such as contributions, consulting, Visa processing fees, office supplies, travel and lodging,contract labor, schools and seminars, dues and business-related mealslicenses, in-house training, trust department expense, debit card expense and other personnel related expenses, declined. Most of the expense reductions are related to limited operations as a result of the pandemic and management’s continued focus on cost savings and efficiencies.  The decreases were offset by increases in mileage, line rentalsmarketing, contributions and contract labor.consulting expenses.  

The effective income tax rates as a percentage of income for the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 were 25.2%24.9% and 22.2%22.1%, respectively.  The increase in the tax rate for the first nine months of 2021 was primarily due to the reduction in tax exempt income as well as the reduction in tax credits related to the expiration of a low-income housing tax credit in June 2021.  A new 2021 investment in low-income housing is expected to provide tax benefits in 2022 and beyond.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Corporation believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful because they reflect adjustments commonly made by management, investors, regulators and analysts to evaluate performance trends and the adequacy of common equity. This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for performance and financial condition measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is our largest source of operating revenue. Net interest income is the difference between the interest that we earn on our interest-earning assets and the interest expense we incur on our interest-bearing liabilities. For analytical and discussion purposes, net interest income is adjusted to a FTE basis to facilitate performance comparisons between taxable and tax-exempt assets by increasing tax-exempt income by an amount equal to the federal income taxes that would have been paid if this income were taxable at the statutorily applicable rate. This is a non-GAAP disclosure and management believes it is not materially different than the corresponding GAAP disclosure.

The table below summarizes net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note:

(1)The above table reflects the average rates earned or paid stated on an FTE basis assuming a 21% tax rate for 2021 and 2020. Non-GAAP interest income on a fully taxable equivalent was $473$705 and $449,$678, respectively.
(2)Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets.
(3)The average yields on investments are based on amortized cost.

Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased $0.5by $2.2 million (1.9%(5.9%) forduring the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 when compared withto the same period ofnine months ended September 30, 2020 driven by a $1.7$2.7 million (32.4%(36.5%) decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $1.2$0.5 million.  The decrease in interest expense resulted from proactive efforts to reduce the cost of funds by further reductions to rates on deposit accounts throughout 2021, the runoff of balances in the time deposits of $100,000 or more, including brokered deposits, and the expiration of empowered rates on money market accounts.  The prepayment of the FHLB advances in the third quarter should significantly reduce interest expense in the fourth quarter and future years.  The net interest margin, on an FTE basis, declined to 3.21% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 to 3.13% compared to 3.61%3.43% for the same period of 2020.  Excluding the average balances of PPP loans of $100.6 million and interest and fees of $4.0 million, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 2021 was 3.07%.

The decrease in interest income was driven by a slight decreaseincrease in interest and fees on loans andoffset by reduced income on the investment portfolio. While the average balance of the investment portfolio increased by $65.8$69.9 million, bonds at higher yielding rates were called and replaced with lower yielding investments, resulting in a decrease in average yield on the investment portfolio

Table of Contents

of 118106 basis points. The increase in the average balance of investments is due to a strategic decision in December 2020 to invest $70.0 million of excess cash into the investment portfolio. Significantly higher cash levels invested at an average yield on Fed Funds of 0.08%0.11% for the first sixnine months of 2021, compared to 0.52%0.31% for the first sixnine months of 2020, also negatively impacted the margin for the first sixnine months of 2021. The increase in average balance of loans of $82.8$42.7 million, primarily driven by PPP loans and the purchase of a $20.0 million consumer loan pool during the second quarter of 2021, offset the declining yield in the portfolio leading to slightly reduced interestportfolio.  Interest and fees on loans increased slightly when comparing the first sixnine months of 2021 to the first sixnine months of 2020. The average balances of PPP loans of approximately $126.6$100.6 million generated $2.6$3.2 million of interest and fees but had a negative impact on the margin. The average loan yield was also negatively impacted by the low-rate environment, which resulted in loan production and loans repricing at lower rates. These factors resulted in a decrease of approximately 3812 basis points in average loan yield when compared withto the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

The decrease in interest expense of $1.7$2.7 million, despite an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $117.9$84.9 million, was a direct result of a reduction in the cost of deposits of 2827 basis points, a 35 basis point decrease in the cost of our short-term borrowings and a 6861 basis point decrease in the cost of long-term borrowings. The decrease in the rate on long-term borrowings iswas primarily due to the restructuring of three long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances late in the fourth quarter of 2020 that resulted in a reduced weighted average rate of 80 basis points on the $70.0 million portfolio. The rate on the long-term borrowings will be reduced further as the $70.0 million of FHLB advances were repaid late in the third quarter of 2021.  These advances had a weighted rate of 1.90%.  The average balance on our interest-bearing money market accounts increased $49.1$34.6 million, while the rate on these accounts decreased by 4339 basis points.   Average growth of $140.9$126.3 million in our non-interest-bearing accounts benefited our overall cost of deposits.

Net interest income, on a non-GAAP, FTE basis, increased $0.1by $1.7 million (0.9%(14.2%) duringfor the secondthird quarter 2021 when compared to the third quarter of 2021 over the same period2020.  This increase resulted from an increase in 2020interest income of $0.7 million and was driven by a decrease in interest expense of approximately $0.8 million (31.7%), offset by a $0.7 million (4.4%) decrease$1.1 million.  

The increase in interest income.income on loans was a result of increased interest on consumer loans related to the purchase of a loan pool in the second quarter as well as an increase in the unearned fees related to the PPP forgiveness during the quarter.  The reduction of interest expense resulted from the further reduction of deposit rates early in the third quarter and the declining balances in the higher cost CD portfolio.  The prepayment of the FHLB advances should positively impact interest expense for the remainder of 2021 and future years.  The weighted rate on the $70.0 million FHLB long-term borrowings was 1.90%.  The net interest margin for the secondthird quarter of 2021 was 3.15%3.38%, compared to 3.53%3.12% for the secondthird quarter of 2020.  Excluding the average balance of PPP loans of $48.5 million and interest and fees of $1.4 million, the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 3.12%.

Participation in the PPP, with an average outstanding loan balance of $110.7$48.5 million and a loanan interest rate of 1.0%, negatively impacted the margin for the secondthird quarter of 2021 by 126 basis points.  However, deferred fees of approximately $1.3 million recognized during the secondthird quarter of 2021 positively impacted the margin by 2832 basis points, with a net positive impact of 1626 basis points.  Continued elevated cash levels have also negatively impacted the margin. We expect to see continued margin compression during the remainder of 2021 as deposit rates approach floors and loans continue to reprice to lower rates.

The decrease in interest income was driven by a slight decrease in interest and fees on loans and reduced income on the investment portfolio. While the average balance of the investment portfolio increased by $72.3 million, bonds at higher yielding rates were called and replaced with lower yielding investments, resulting in a decrease in average yield on the investment portfolio of 128 basis points. The increase in the average balance of investments is due to a strategic decision in December 2020 to invest $70.0 million of excess cash into the investment portfolio. Significantly higher cash levels invested also negatively impacted the margin for the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase in average balance of loans of $9.0 million, primarily driven by PPP loans, offset the declining yield in the portfolio leading to slightly reduced interest and fees on loans when comparing the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2020. The average loan yield was also negatively impacted by the low-rate environment, which resulted in loan production and loans repricing at lower rates. These factors resulted in a decrease of approximately 12 basis points in average loan yield when compared with the second quarter of 2020.

The decrease in interest expense of $0.8$1.1 million, despite an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $81.3$14.3 million, was a direct result of a reduction in the cost of deposits of 2325 basis points, a 16 basis point decrease in the cost of our short-term borrowings and a 6847 basis point decrease in the cost of long-term borrowings. The decrease in the rate on long-term borrowings is primarily due to the restructuring of three long-term Federal Home Loan BankFHLB advances late in the fourth quarter of 2020 that resulted in a reduced weighted average rate of 80 basis points on the $70.0 million portfolio. The rate on the long-term borrowings will be reduced further as the $70.0 million of FHLB advances were repaid late in the third quarter of 2021.  These advances had a weighted rate of 1.90%.  The average balance on our interest-bearing money market accounts increased $7.9 million,remained stable, while the rate on these accounts decreased by 3331 basis points.   Average growth of $105.4$95.7 million in our non-interest-bearing accounts benefited our overall cost of deposits.deposits as well as the overall reduction to rates on all deposit products in the third quarter.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $0.7$0.1 million for the six-monthsnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and $4.8$5.0 million for the six-monthsnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Net charge-offs of $83 thousand were recorded for the first six months of 2021, compared to net charge offs of $0.3 million for first six months of 2020.  The higher provision expense recorded in the first nine months of 2020 was driven by an increase in the qualitative factors reflecting the uncertainty of the economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our borrowers.pandemic. Net recoveries of $0.4 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net charge offs of $1.3 million for the same period of 2020.

Provision for Income Taxes

In reporting interim financial information, income tax provisions should be determined under the procedures set forth in ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes (Section 740-270-30). This guidance provides that at the end of each interim period, an entity should make its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The rate so determined should be used in providing for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The effective tax rate should reflect anticipated investment tax credits, capital gains rates, and other available tax planning alternatives. In arriving at this effective tax rate, however, no effect should be included for the tax related to significant, unusual or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect in reports for the interim period or for the fiscal year.

The effective income tax rate as a percentage of income increased to 25.2%24.9% at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 from 22.2%22.1% at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 primarily due to a reduction in tax exempt income and the reduction in low income housing tax credits that expireexpired in June 2021.  A new investment in a low income housing tax credit will reduce the effective tax rate beginning in 2022 and future years.

Outstanding loans of $1.1$1.2 billion at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 reflected a decline of $22.5$5.9 million during the first sixnine months of 2021, which was primarily attributable to coregrowth in our mortgage loan portfolio due to the purchase of a $39.0 million loan pool, offset by a decline of portfolio balances.  This loan pool consisted of individual  adjustable and fixed rate residential mortgage loans.  Core commercial loan growth was offset by PPP loan forgiveness and a decline in our mortgage loan portfolio.forgiveness.  Commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans decreasedincreased by $7.2$2.6 million, acquisition and development (“A&D”) loans increased by $14.7$15.3 million and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans decreased by $36.9$71.0 million, as newly originated PPP loans and growth in core portfolio loans of $12.7 million was offset by PPP loan forgiveness.  The growth inResidential mortgage loans increased $26.7 million due to the commercial portfolios waspurchase of a pool of 1-4 family residential loans, offset by a decline in residential mortgage loans of $14.8 million, asthe continued refinancing activity continued during the first six months of 2021.activity.

The consumer loan portfolio increased by $21.8$20.4 million due to the purchase of a pool of consumer loans in the second quarter of 2021 as an effort to deploy excess cash into higher yielding, short-term assets.  

Commercial loan production for the first sixnine months of 2021 was approximately $89.2$147.9 million, with $39.2$46.7 million originated during the secondthird quarter, exclusive of PPP loan production. SBA PPP loan production was approximately $64.3$66.1 million for the sixfirst nine months of 2021.   Commercial construction funding continues to ramp up as projects are entering their larger draw periods.  At June

September 30, 2021, unfunded, committed commercial construction loans totaled approximately $22.5$26.6 million. Commercial amortization and payoffs were approximately $69.7$117.3 million through JuneSeptember 30, 2021, exclusive of PPP. 

Consumer mortgage loan production was approximately $57.9$89.6 million through JuneSeptember 30, 2021.  The production and pipeline mix of in-house, portfolio loans and investor loans remained strong as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, with those loans totaling $25.0$20.0 million, consisting of $22.0$16.0 million in portfolio loans and $3.0$4.0 million in investor loans. At the end of the second quarter of 2021, management implemented special promotions for residential mortgage products to shift production towards portfolio loans and utilize excess cash balances.

Non-accrual loans totaled $7.3$7.4 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 2020.  The increase in the non-accrual balancesbalance at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was due to the additionmovement of two hospitality loans, totaling approximately $4.5$4.0 million, to non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2021.  These loans suffered reduced cash flows due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, received modifications and were classified as substandard at December 31, 2020.  These loans have returned to their contractual payment terms but will remain on non-accrual status until the borrowers makethey pay full contractual payments for six months.

Performing loans considered to be impaired (including performing troubled debt restructurings, or TDRs), as defined and identified by management, amounted to $7.6 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and $4.1 million at December 31, 2020. Loans are identified as impaired when, based on current information and events, management determines that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to contractual terms. These loans consist primarily of A&D loans and CRE loans. The fair values are generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the collateral or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. Specific allocations have been made where management believes there is insufficient collateral to repay the loan balance if liquidated and there is no secondary source of repayment available.

The level of TDRs was $3.8 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 2020, with a slight reduction due to payments made during the first sixnine months of 2021. There were no new TDRs during the first sixnine months of 2021.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

The ALL is maintained to absorb probable incurred credit losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.

The ALL is also based on estimates, and actual losses will vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed quarterly, and as adjustments, either positive or negative, become necessary, a corresponding increase or decrease is made in the ALL. The methodology used to determine the adequacy of the ALL is consistent with prior years. An estimate for probable losses related to unfunded lending commitments, such as letters of credit and binding but unfunded loan commitments is also prepared. This estimate is computed in a manner similar to the methodology described above, adjusted for the probability of actually funding the commitment.

The ALL increased to $17.1$16.9 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to $16.5 million at December 31, 2020.  The provision for loan losses was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.  The higher provision expense recorded in the first nine months of 2020 was driven by an increase in the qualitative factors reflecting the uncertainty of the economic environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net recoveries of $0.4 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net charge offs of $1.3 million for the same period of 2020. The ratio of the ALL to loans outstanding, including PPP loan balances, was 1.49%1.46% at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to 1.43%1.36% at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 1.41% at December 31, 2020.  The ALL to loans outstanding, on a non-GAAP basis, excluding PPP loan balances of $74.1$30.3 million and $148.9 million, was 1.60%1.49% at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 1.55% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, excluding PPP loan balances of $114.0 million. This increase in 5 basis points is primarily related to the decrease in loan balances, offset slightly by the increase in the reserves.non-GAAP.

The ratio of net recoveries to average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was an annualized 0.04%, compared to net charge offs to average loans of 0.16% for the sixnine months ended June 30, 2021 was an annualized 0.01%, compared to 0.06% for the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.  The CRE portfolio did not have any charge offs or recoveries in the first sixnine months of 2021, compared to an annualized net recovery rate of 0.04%0.03% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020. The A&D loans had an annualized net recovery rate of 0.05%0.01% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, compared to a net charge-off rate of 0.01%1.21% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020. The decrease is related to a $1.10 million charge off on a non-accrual loan in 2020, which subsequently moved to OREO.  The C&I portfolio had net recoveries to average loans of 0.03%0.06% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, compared to net charge-offs of 0.22%0.06% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020. The residential mortgage ratios were a net charge-off rate of 0.03%0.01% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to net charge-off rate of 0.02% as of June 30, 2020, and the2020.  The consumer loan ratios were net charge-off rates of 0.42%0.02% and 0.75%0.59% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and JuneSeptember 30, 2020, respectively. Our special assets team continues to aggressively collect on charged-off loans.

Management believes that the ALL at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was adequate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Amounts that will be recorded for the provision for loan losses in future periods will depend upon trends in the loan balances, including the composition of the loan portfolio, changes in loan quality and loss experience trends, potential recoveries on previously charged-off loans and changes in other qualitative factors. Management also applies interest rate risk, collateral value and debt service sensitivity analyses to the Commercial real estate loan portfolio and obtains new appraisals on specific loans under defined parameters to assist in the determination of the periodic provision for loan losses.

Total fair value of investment securities available-for-sale increased by $15.1$8.7 million since December 31, 2020. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the securities classified as available-for-sale included a net unrealized loss of $5.6 million, which represents the difference between the fair value and amortized cost of securities in the portfolio.

As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this report, the Corporation measures fair market values based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. 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). Level 3 prices or valuation techniques require inputs that are both significant to the valuation assumptions and are not readily observable in the market (i.e. supported with little or no market activity). These Level 3 instruments are valued based on both observable and unobservable inputs derived from the best available data, some of which is internally developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

Approximately $225.8$218.5 million of the available-for-sale portfolio was valued using Level 2 pricing and had net unrealized losses of $3.3$4.1 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2021. The remaining $16.2$17.1 million of the securities available-for-sale represents the entire collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) portfolio, which was valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 assets). The $2.3$1.5 million in net unrealized losses associated with this portfolio relates to nine pooled trust preferred securities that comprise the CDO portfolio. Net unrealized losses of $1.4$0.7 million represent non-credit related OTTI charges on seven of the securities, while $0.9$0.8 million of unrealized losses relates to two securities which have had no credit related OTTI.

*Security has been deemed other-than-temporarily impaired and loss has been recognized in accordance with ASC Section 320-10-35.

The terms of the debentures underlying trust preferred securities allow the issuer of the debentures to defer interest payments for up to 20 quarters, and, in such case, the terms of the related trust preferred securities allow their issuers to defer dividend payments for up to 20 quarters. Some of the issuers of the trust preferred securities in our investment portfolio have defaulted and/or deferred payments ranging from 6.57% to 14.82% of the total collateral balances underlying the securities. The securities were designed to include structural features that provide investors with credit enhancement or support to provide default protection by subordinated tranches. These features include over-collateralization of the notes or subordination, excess interest or spread which will redirect funds in situations where collateral is insufficient, and a specified order of principal payments. There are securities in our portfolio that are under-collateralized, which does represent additional stress on our tranche. However, in these cases, the terms of the securities require excess interest to be redirected from subordinate tranches as credit support, which provides additional support to our investment.

Management systematically evaluates securities for impairment on a quarterly basis. Based upon application of ASC Topic 320 (Section 320-10-35), management must assess whether (a) the Corporation has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery. If neither applies, then declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are considered other-than-temporary declines are split into two components. The first is the loss attributable to declining credit quality. Credit losses are recognized in earnings as realized losses in the period in which the impairment determination is made. The second component consists of all other losses. The other losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. In estimating OTTI charges, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area, (3) the historic and implied volatility of the security, (4) changes in the rating of a security by a rating agency, (5) recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date, (6) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest payments, and (7) the payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that increase in the future. Due to the duration and the significant market value decline in the pooled trust preferred securities held in our portfolio, we performed more extensive testing on these securities for purposes of evaluating whether or not an OTTI has occurred.

The market for these securities as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 iswas not active and markets for similar securities arewere also not active. The inactivity was evidenced first by a significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets in which these securities trade and then by a significant decrease in the volume of trades relative to historical levels. The new issue market is also inactive, as no new CDOs have been issued since 2007. There are currently very few market participants who are willing to effect transactions in these securities. The market values for these securities, or any securities other than those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), are very depressed relative to historical levels. Therefore, in the current market, a low market price for a particular bond may only provide evidence of stress in the credit markets in general rather than being an indicator of credit problems with a particular issue. Given the conditions in the current debt markets and the absence of observable transactions in the secondary and new issue markets, management has determined that (a) the few observable transactions and market quotations that are available are not reliable for the purpose of obtaining fair value at JuneSeptember 30, 2021, (b) an income valuation approach technique

6465

Table of Contents

(i.e.approach technique (i.e. present value) that maximizes the use of relevant unobservable inputs and minimizes the use of observable inputs will be equally or more representative of fair value than a market approach, and (c) the CDO segment is appropriately classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy because management determined that significant adjustments were required to determine fair value at the measurement date.

Management uses an independent third party to prepare both the evaluations of OTTI and the fair value determinations for the CDO portfolio. Management does not believe that there were any material differences in the OTTI evaluations and pricing between December 31, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

The approach used by the third party to determine fair value involved several steps, which included detailed credit and structural evaluation of each piece of collateral in each bond, projection of default, recovery and prepayment/amortization probabilities for each piece of collateral in the bond, and discounted cash flow modeling. The discount rate methodology used by the third party combines a baseline current market yield for comparable corporate and structured credit products with adjustments based on evaluations of the differences found in structure and risks associated with actual and projected credit performance of each CDO being valued. Currently, the only active and liquid trading market that exists is for stand-alone trust preferred securities, with a limited market for highly-rated CDO securities that are more senior in the capital structure than the securities in the CDO portfolio. Therefore, adjustments to the baseline discount rate are also made to reflect the additional leverage found in structured instruments.

Based upon a review of credit quality and the cash flow tests performed by the independent third party, management determined that no securities had credit-related OTTI during the first sixnine months of 2021.  Additionally, there has been no change in the performing collateral, no decline in the percentage of deferrals/defaults to original collateral, and increases in collateral support for each of the positions held by the Corporation.

Total deposits at JuneSeptember 30, 2021 increased by $33.7$22.1 million when compared to deposits at December 31, 2020.  During the first sixnine months of 2021, non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $77.3$71.0 million, driven by retail and commercial account growth partially attributable to government stimulus programs, including the most recent PPP funding round.programs. Traditional savings accounts increased by $32.5$37.4 million as we continued to see significant growth in our Prime Saver product, and total demand deposits increased by $6.2$10.8 million. Total money market accounts decreased by $53.6$43.0 million due primarily to management’s decision to movesweep approximately $70.0 million of wealth management money market funds off balance sheet in the first quarter of 2021. We believe that theseThese funds can be readily shifted back to in-house money market accounts should liquidity needs arise in the future.  Time deposits decreased by $28.7$54.1 million, primarily in time deposits over $100,000, due to repayment of a $10.0 million brokered CD in May 2021 and as we continued to reduce pricing on single-service relationships and municipal bids.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity is a financial institution’s capability to meet customer demands for deposit withdrawals while funding all credit-worthy loans. The factors that determine the institution’s liquidity are:

Reliability and stability of core deposits;
Cash flow structure and pledging status of investments; and
Potential for unexpected loan demand.

We actively manage our liquidity position through regular meetings of a sub-committee of executive management, known as the Treasury Team, which looks forward 12 months at 30-day intervals. The measurement is based upon the projection of funds sold or purchased position, along with ratios and trends developed to measure dependence on purchased funds and core growth. Monthly reviews by management and quarterly reviews by the Asset and Liability Committee under prescribed policies and procedures are designed to ensure that we will maintain adequate levels of available funds.

It is our policy to manage our affairs so that liquidity needs are fully satisfied through normal Bank operations. That is, the Bank will manage its liquidity to minimize the need to make unplanned sales of assets or to borrow funds under emergency conditions. The Bank will use funding sources where the interest cost is relatively insensitive to market changes in the short run (periods of one year or less) to satisfy operating cash needs. The remaining normal funding will come from interest-sensitive liabilities, either deposits or borrowed funds. When the marginal cost of needed wholesale funding is lower than the cost of raising this funding in the retail markets, the Corporation may supplement retail funding with external funding sources such as:

1.Unsecured Fed Funds lines of credit with upstream correspondent banks (M&T Bank, Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank, PNC Financial Services, Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, Community Bankers Bank and Zions National Bank).
2.Secured advances with the FHLB, which are collateralized by eligible one to four family residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate loans, various securities and pledged cash.
3.Secured line of credit with the Fed Discount Window for use in borrowing funds up to 90 days, using municipal securities as collateral.
4.Brokered deposits, including CDs and money market funds, provide a method to generate deposits quickly. These deposits are strictly rate driven but often provide the most cost-effective means of funding growth.
5.One Way Buy CDARS/ICS funding – a form of brokered deposits that has become a viable supplement to brokered deposits obtained directly.
6.Federal Reserve PPPLF – provides funding and uses SBA PPP loans as collateral at 100% value.  This program expired on July 31, 2021.

Management believes that we have adequate liquidity available to respond to current and anticipated liquidity demands and is not aware of any trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are likely to materially affect our ability to maintain liquidity at satisfactory levels.

Market Risk and Interest Sensitivity

Our primary market risk is interest rate fluctuation. Interest rate risk results primarily from the traditional banking activities that we engage in, such as gathering deposits and extending loans. Many factors, including economic and financial conditions, movements in interest rates and consumer preferences affect the difference between the interest earned on our assets and the interest paid on our liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the degree that earnings will be impacted by changes in the prevailing level of interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from mismatches in the repricing or maturity characteristics between interest-bearing assets and liabilities. Management seeks to minimize fluctuating net interest margins, and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates. Management uses interest sensitivity gap analysis and simulation models to measure and manage these risks. The interest rate sensitivity gap analysis assigns each interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability to a time frame reflecting its next repricing or maturity date. The differences between total interest-sensitive assets and liabilities at each time interval represent the interest sensitivity gap for that interval. A positive gap generally indicates that rising interest rates during a given interval will increase net interest income, as more assets than liabilities will reprice. A negative gap position would benefit us during a period of declining interest rates.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we were asset sensitive.

Our interest rate risk management goals are:

Ensure that the Board of Directors and senior management will provide effective oversight and ensure that risks are adequately identified, measured, monitored and controlled;
Enable dynamic measurement and management of interest rate risk;
Select strategies that optimize our ability to meet our long-range financial goals while maintaining interest rate risk within policy limits established by the Board of Directors;
Use both income and market value oriented techniques to select strategies that optimize the relationship between risk and return; and
Establish interest rate risk exposure limits for fluctuation in net interest income (“NII”), net income and economic value of equity.

In order to manage interest sensitivity risk, management formulates guidelines regarding asset generation and pricing, funding sources and pricing, and off-balance sheet commitments. These guidelines are based on management’s outlook regarding future interest rate movements, the state of the regional and national economy, and other financial and business risk factors. Management uses computer simulations to measure the effect on net interest income of various interest rate scenarios. Key assumptions used in the computer simulations include cash flows and maturities of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, changes in asset volumes and pricing, and management’s capital plans. This modeling reflects interest rate changes and the related impact on net interest income over specified periods.

We evaluate the effect of a change in interest rates of +/-100 basis points to +/-400 basis points on both NII and Net Portfolio Value (“NPV”) / Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). We concentrate on NII rather than net income as long as NII remains the significant contributor to net income.

NII modeling allows management to view how changes in interest rates will affect the spread between the yield paid on assets and the cost of deposits and borrowed funds. Unlike traditional Gap modeling, NII modeling takes into account the different degree to which installments in the same repricing period will adjust to a change in interest rates. It also allows the use of different assumptions in a falling versus a rising rate environment. The period considered by the NII modeling is the next eight quarters.

NPV / EVE modeling focuses on the change in the market value of equity. NPV / EVE is defined as the market value of assets less the market value of liabilities plus/minus the market value of any off-balance sheet positions. By effectively looking at the present value of all future cash flows on or off the balance sheet, NPV / EVE modeling takes a longer-term view of interest rate risk. This complements the shorter-term view of the NII modeling.

Measures of NII at risk produced by simulation analysis are indicators of an institution’s short-term performance in alternative rate environments. These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period, usually one year. They do not necessarily indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

This estimate is based on assumptions that may be affected by unforeseeable changes in the general interest rate environment and any number of unforeseeable factors. Rates on different assets and liabilities within a single maturity category adjust to changes in interest rates to varying degrees and over varying periods of time. The relationships between lending rates and rates paid on purchased funds are not constant over time. Management can respond to current or anticipated market conditions by lengthening or shortening the Bank’s sensitivity through loan repricings or changing its funding mix. The rate of growth in interest-free sources of funds will influence the level of interest-sensitive funding sources. In addition, the absolute level of interest rates will affect the volume of earning assets and funding sources. As a result of these limitations, the interest-sensitive gap is only one factor to be considered in estimating the net interest margin.

Management believes that no material changes in our market risks, our procedures used to evaluate and mitigate those risks, or our actual or simulated sensitivity positions have occurred since December 31, 2020. Our NII simulation analysis as of December 31, 2020 is included in Item 7 of Part II Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 under the heading “Market Risk and Interest Sensitivity.

Impact of Inflation – Our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature, and as such, future changes in prices do not affect the obligations to pay or receive fixed and determinable amounts of money. During inflationary periods, monetary assets lose value in terms of purchasing power and monetary liabilities have corresponding purchasing power gains. The concept of purchasing power is not an adequate indicator of the impact of inflation on financial institutions because it does not incorporate changes in our earnings.

Capital Resources

We require capital to fund loans, satisfy our obligations under the Bank’s letters of credit, meet the deposit withdrawal demands of the Bank’s customers, and satisfy our other monetary obligations. To the extent that deposits are not adequate to fund our capital requirements, we can rely on the funding sources identified above under the heading “Liquidity Management”. At JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the Bank had $130.0 million available through unsecured lines of credit with correspondent banks, $1.0 million available through a secured line of credit with the Fed Discount Window and approximately $122.2$189.0 million available through the FHLB. Management is not aware of any demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are likely to materially affect our ability to meet our future capital requirements.

In addition to operational requirements, the Bank and First United Corporation are subject to risk-based capital regulations, which were adopted and are monitored by federal banking regulators. These regulations are used to evaluate capital adequacy and require an analysis of an institution’s asset risk profile and off-balance sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments and stand-by letters of credit.  Based on capital ratios at JuneSeptember 30, 2021, both the Bank and First United Corporation are considered to be well-capitalized.

The minimum capital level requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank are:  (1) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%; (3) a total capital ratio of 8%; and (4) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%.  The rules also establish a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital.  An institution would be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses to executive officers if its capital level falls below the buffer amount.  These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations

The Corporation enters into contractual obligations in the normal course of business. Among these obligations are FHLB advances and junior subordinated debentures, operating lease agreements for banking and subsidiaries’ offices and for data processing and telecommunications equipment. Comparing JuneSeptember 30, 2021 to December 31, 2020, short-term borrowings increased $0.2by $23.2 million primarilyduring the first nine months of 2021. This increase was due to the increase in our Treasury Management overnight investment sweep accounts as we saw growth inincreased cash balances from our existing municipality accounts. Long-term borrowings decreased $70.0 million as management made the strategic decision to deploy excess cash and prepay the FHLB advances during the third quarter.  

Commitments

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of our customers. Letters of credit commit us to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. The credit risks inherent in loan commitments and letters of credit are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers, and these arrangements are subject to our normal credit policies. We are not a party to any other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Commitments to extend credit in the form of consumer, commercial and business at the dates indicated were as follows:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the SEC, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in those rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including First United Corporation’s principal executive officer (“PEO”) and its principal financial officer (“PFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of these disclosure controls as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the PEO and the PFO. Based on that evaluation, management, including the PEO and the PFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
