Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Norwood Financial Corp. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank (Bank) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp., and WTRO Properties, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other future interim period.

2. Revenue Recognition

Management has determined that the primary sources of revenue emanating from interest income on loans and investments along with noninterest revenue resulting from investment security gains, loan servicing, gains on the sale of loans, commitment fees, and fees from financial guarantees are not within the scope of ASC 606. As a result, no changes were made during the period related to those sources of revenue.

The following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streamsin-scope andout-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and six months ended June 30:

3. Earnings Per Share

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

The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share.

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018

6. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees

The Bank is a party to financial instruments withoff-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does foron-balance sheet instruments.

A summary of the Bank’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

(in thousands)	June 30,
	2019		2018
Commitments to grant loans	$	49,936	$	43,280
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		71,859		72,359
Standby letters of credit		4,305		5,733
	$	126,100	$	121,372

14

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on acase-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate.

The Bank does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank, generally, holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of June 30, 2019 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had three debt securities in an unrealized loss position in the less than twelve months category and 114 debt securities in the twelve months or more category. In Management’s opinion the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. No other-than-temporary-impairment charges were recorded in 2019. Management believes that all unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the securities as the Company does not have the intent to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of its cost basis.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of June 30, 2019 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Carrying Amount	$	822	$	886

As a result of the acquisition of Delaware Bancshares, Inc. (“Delaware”), the Company added $1,397,000 of loans that were accounted for in accordance with ASC310-30. Based on a review of the loans acquired by senior lending management, which included an analysis of credit deterioration of the loans since

17

origination, the Company recorded a specific credit fair value adjustment of $499,000. For loans that were acquired with specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, loan losses will be accounted for through a reduction of the specific reserve and will not impact the allowance for loan losses until actual losses exceed the allotted reserves. For loans acquired without a deterioration of credit quality, losses incurred will result in adjustments to the allowance for loan losses through the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation.

The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified losses based on a review of such information. A loan evaluated for impairment is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. We do not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Impairment is measured on aloan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring.

Foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell and are included in foreclosed real estate owned on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, foreclosed real estate owned totaled $1,677,000 and $1,115,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company acquired three properties viadeed-in-lieu transactions which have subsequently been sold, and foreclosed on one commercial property with a carrying value of $608,000. The Company also disposed of two properties that were previously transferred to foreclosed real estate owned with a carrying value of $46,000 through the sale of the properties. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has initiated formal foreclosure proceedings on three properties classified as consumer residential mortgages with an aggregate carrying value of $306,000.

The following table shows the amount of loans in each category that were individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at the dates indicated:

Troubled debt restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, who could not obtain comparable terms from alternate financing sources. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $104,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, with no specific reserve. For thesix-month period ended June 30, 2019, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. During 2019, the Company recognized acharge-off of $451,000 on a loan that was previously identified as a troubled debt restructuring. The loan was transferred to foreclosed real estate during the first quarter of 2019 with a carrying value of $608,000.

For thesix-month period ended June 30, 2018, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructurings nor did the Company recognize any write-down on loans that were previously identified as a troubled debt restructuring.

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

20

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as nonperformance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. Loan Review also annually reviews relationships of $1,500,000 and over to assign orre-affirm risk ratings. Loans in the Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the allowance for loan losses. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the allowance.

As of June 30, 2019, the allocation of the allowance pertaining to commercial real estate loans is $761,000 lower than the allocation as of December 31, 2018. This decrease is due primarily to a reduction in the historical factor which decreased from 0.42% as of December 31, 2018 to 0.29% at June 30, 2019. Also contributing to the reduced reserve balance is a decrease in the qualitative factor related to the annualized growth rate.

The following table presents the allowance for loan losses by the classes of the loan portfolio:

The Company’s primary business activity as of June 30, 2019 was with customers located in northeastern Pennsylvania and the New York counties of Delaware and Sullivan. Accordingly, the Company has extended credit primarily to commercial entities and individuals in this area whose ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company considered its concentration of credit risk to be acceptable. The highest concentrations are in commercial rentals with $75.9 million of loans outstanding, or 8.6% of total loans outstanding, and the hospitality/lodging industry with loans outstanding of $67.5 million, or 7.6% of loans outstanding. During 2019, the Company did not recognize any charge offs in the named concentrations.

9. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company measures, records, and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring ornon-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on aNon-Recurring Basis”. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The methods of determining the fair value of assets and liabilities presented in this note are consistent with our methodologies disclosed in Note 14 of the Company’s 2018 Form10-K. In accordance with ASU2016-01, the fair value of loans, excluding previously presented impaired loans measured at fair value on anon-recurring basis, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used to determine fair value use interest rate spreads that reflect factors such as liquidity, credit and nonperformance risk. Loans are considered a Level 3 classification.

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Securities:

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/ornon-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments, if applicable.

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on aNon-Recurring Basis

For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

(In thousands)			Fair Value Measurement Using Reporting Date

Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):

The Company measures impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

As of June 30, 2019, the fair value investment in impaired loans totaled $752,000 which included five loan relationships that did not require a valuation allowance since either the estimated realizable value of the collateral or the discounted cash flows exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans in the amount of $587,000 over the life of the loans.

As of December 31, 2018, the fair value investment in impaired loans totaled $1,319,000 which included six loans which did not require a valuation allowance since the estimated realizable value of the collateral exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had recognized charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans in the amount of $428,000 over the life of the loans.

Foreclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value):

Real estate properties acquired through, or by deed in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included in Level 3 fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on anon-recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

	Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

(1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable, less any associated allowance.

(2) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

Assets and Liabilities Not Required to be Measured or Reported at Fair Value

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Loans receivable (carried at cost):

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

Mortgage servicing rights (generally carried at cost)

The Company utilizes a third party provider to estimate the fair value of certain loan servicing rights. Fair value for the purpose of this measurement is defined as the amount at which the asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.

Deposit liabilities (carried at cost):

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Other borrowings (carried at cost):

Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a fair value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

10. New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements    

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02,Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and aright-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. ASU2016-02 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-11,“Leases (Topic 842)—Targeted Improvements,”which, among other things, provides an additional transition method that would allow entities to not apply the guidance in ASU2016-02 in the comparative periods presented in the financial statements and instead recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB also issuedASU2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842)- Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,”which provides for certain policy elections and changes lessor accounting for sales and similar taxes and certain lessor costs. Upon adoption of ASU2016-02, ASU2018-11 and ASU2018-20 on January 1, 2019, we recorded recognized aright-of-use assets and related lease liabilities totaling $5.3 million each, which are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13,Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We expect to recognize aone-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any suchone-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04,Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill

29

impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, includingnot-for-profit entities, that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-06, Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), and Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965). This Update relates primarily to the reporting by an employee benefit plan for its interest in a master trust, which is a trust for which a regulated financial institution serves as a trustee or custodian and in which assets of more than one plan sponsored by a single employer or by a group of employers under common control are held. For each master trust in which a plan holds an interest, the amendments in this Update require a plan’s interest in that master trust and any change in that interest to be presented in separate line items in the statement of net assets available for benefits and in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, respectively. The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to disclose the percentage interest in the master trust for plans with divided interests and require that all plans disclose the dollar amount of their interest in each of those general types of investments, which supplements the existing requirement to disclose the master trusts balances in each general type of investments. There are also increased disclosure requirements for investments in master trusts. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU2018-04,Investments – Debt Securities (Topic 320) andRegulated Operations (Topic 980) – Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 117 and SEC Release No. 33-9273, ASU2018-04 supersedes various SEC paragraphs and adds an SEC paragraph pursuant to the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 117.

In May 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-06,Codification Improvements to Topic 942, Financial Services – Depository and Lending, which supersedes outdated guidance related to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)’s Banking Circular 202,Accounting for Net Deferred Tax Charges(Circular 202), because that guidance has been rescinded by the OCC and no longer is relevant.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-12,Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting for insurance companies that issue long-duration contracts, such as life insurance, disability income, long-term care, and annuities, by requiring updated assumptions for liability measurement, standardizing the liability discount rate, simplifying and improving the accounting for certain market-based options or guarantees associated with deposit (or account balance) contracts by requiring those benefits to be measured at fair value instead of using two different measurement models, simplifying the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, and increasing transparency by improving the effectiveness of disclosures. This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. The Update removes the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level I and Level II of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level III fair value measurements. The Update requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level III fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level III fair value measurements. This Update is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

30

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-14,Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic715-20). This Update amends ASC 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The Update eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost over the next year. The Update also removes the disclosure requirements for the effects of aone-percentage-point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-15,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other –Internal-Use Software (Subtopic350-40). This Update addresses customers’ accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred forinternal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtaininternal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include aninternal-use software license).

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 (incorporated by reference in Item 8 of the Form10-K) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations.

33

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the fair value of financial instruments, the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities and the determination of goodwill impairment. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses calculation under “Loans” in the “Changes in Financial Condition” section.

The Company uses the modified prospective transition method to account for stock options. Under this method companies are required to record compensation expense, based on the fair value of options over the vesting period. Restricted shares vest over a five-year period. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determines the fair value of restricted stock.

Deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in the recognition of the revenue and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes, principally because certain items are recognized in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

The fair value of financial instruments is based upon quoted market prices, when available. For those instances where a quoted price is not available, fair values are based upon observable market based parameters as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation is applied consistently over time.

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase andre-evaluates such designation as of each Consolidated Balance Sheet date.

Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, the Company considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent of the Company to not sell the securities and whether it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. The Company believes that all unrealized losses on securities at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 represent temporary impairment of the securities, related to changes in interest rates.

In connection with acquisitions, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $11.3 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of net assets of the institutions acquired in purchase transactions, at its fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested and deemed impaired when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The value of the goodwill can change in the future. We expect the value of the goodwill to decrease if there is a significant decrease in the franchise value of the Company or the Bank. If an impairment loss is determined in the future, we will reflect the loss as an expense for the period in which the impairment is determined, leading to a reduction of our net income for that period by the amount of the impairment loss.

Changes in Financial Condition

General

Total assets as of June 30, 2019 were $1.223 billion compared to $1.185 billion as of December 31, 2018. The increase reflects growth in loans which were funded by an increase in deposits and cash flows from securities.

34

Securities

The fair value of securities available for sale as of June 30, 2019 was $238.1 million compared to $243.3 million as of December 31, 2018. The decrease in the securities portfolio is the result of sales, calls, maturities and principal reductions of securities. The fair value of the portfolio also increased $6.9 million due to a reduction in unrealized losses on securities related to the decrease in interest rates during the first six months of 2019.

The carrying value of the Company’s securities portfolio(Available-for Sale) consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2019					December 31, 2018
(dollars in thousands)	Amount		% of portfolio			Amount		% of portfolio
States and political subdivisions	$	93,935		39.5	%	$	97,613		40.1	%
Corporate obligations		8,805		3.7			8,640		3.6
Mortgage-backed securities-government sponsored entities		135,343		56.8			137,024		56.3
Total	$	238,083		100.0	%	$	243,277		100.0	%

The Company has securities in an unrealized loss position. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. Management believes that the unrealized losses on all holdings represent temporary impairment of the securities, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity or market price recovery.

Loans

Loans receivable totaled $887.7 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $850.2 million as of December 31, 2018. The increase in loans receivable includes a $20.2 million increase in retail loans and a $17.3 million increase in commercial loans.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $8,228,000 as of June 30, 2019 and represented 0.93% of total loans outstanding, compared to $8,452,000, or 0.99% of total loans, at December 31, 2018. The Company had net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $974,000 compared to $283,000 in the corresponding period in 2018. The increase in charge-offs was due to one large commercial loan relationship which was written down by $336,000 during the second quarter of 2019, and one commercial real estate credit which was written down by $451,000 and subsequently transferred to foreclosed real estate during the first quarter of 2019. The Company’s management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The process includes an analysis of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. It includes an analysis of impaired loans and a historical review of credit losses by loan type. Other factors considered include concentration of credit in specific industries, economic and industry conditions, trends in delinquencies and loan classifications, and loan growth. Management considers the allowance adequate at June 30, 2019 based on the Company’s criteria. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future.

As of June 30, 2019,non-performing loans totaled $1,355,000, or 0.15% of total loans compared to $1,140,000, or 0.13%, of total loans at December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019,non-performing assets totaled $3,032,000, or 0.25%, of total assets compared to $2,255,000, or 0.19%, of total assets at December 31, 2018.

Deposits

During thesix-month period ending June 30, 2019, total deposits increased $34.4 million due primarily to a $29.3 million increase in demand deposits which reflects seasonal activity in municipal account relationships. All other deposits decreased $5.1 million, net.

Borrowings

Other borrowings as of June 30, 2019 totaled $44.0 million compared to $52.3 million as of December 31, 2018. Short-term borrowings, which consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and overnight borrowings from the FHLB, decreased $5.0 million due to a $15.6 million reduction in overnight borrowings which was partially offset by a $10.6 million increase in repurchase agreements.

Other borrowings consisted of the following:

Stockholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

As of June 30, 2019, stockholders’ equity totaled $131.5 million, compared to $122.3 million as of December 31, 2018.    The net change in stockholders’ equity included $6.7 million of net income that was partially offset by $3.0 million of dividends declared. In addition, total equity increased $5.5 million due to an increase in the fair value of securities in the available for sale portfolio, net of tax. This increase in fair value is the result of a change in interest rates and spreads, which may impact the value of the securities. Because of interest rate volatility, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) could materially fluctuate for each interim andyear-end period.

A comparison of the Company’s consolidated regulatory capital ratios is as follows:

	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Tier 1 Capital
(To average assets)		9.80	%		9.82	%
Tier 1 Capital
(To risk-weighted assets)		12.87	%		13.04	%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
(To risk-weighted assets)		12.87	%		13.04	%
Total Capital
(To risk-weighted assets)		13.76	%		14.00	%

37

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank became subject to new regulatory capital rules, which, among other things, impose a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), set the minimum leverage ratio for all banking organizations at a uniform 4% of total assets, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assign a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The new rules also require unrealized gains and losses on certain“available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless aone-time opt out is exercised which the Company and the Bank have done. The final rule limits a banking organization’s dividends, stock repurchases and other capital distributions, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above regulatory minimum risk-based requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement was phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement became effective. The Company and the Bank are in compliance with their respective new capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, as of June 30, 2019.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.5 million in the form of cash, due from banks and short-term deposits with other institutions. In addition, the Company had total securities available for sale of $238.1 million which could be used for liquidity needs. This totals $256.6 million of liquidity and represents 21.0% of total assets compared to $261.6 million and 22.1% of total assets as of December 31, 2018. The Company also monitors other liquidity measures, all of which were within the Company’s policy guidelines as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Based upon these measures, the Company believes its liquidity is adequate.    

Capital Resources

The Company has a line of credit commitment from Atlantic Community Bankers Bank for $7,000,000 which expires June 30, 2020. There were no borrowings under this line as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company has a line of credit commitment available which has no stated expiration date from PNC Bank for $16,000,000. There were no borrowings under this line as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company has a line of credit commitment available which has no stated expiration date from Zions Bank for $17,000,000. There were no borrowings under this line as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was approximately $412,989,000 as of June 30, 2019, of which $44,024,000 and $67,873,000 was outstanding at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2019, the Bank had secured Letters of Credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank in the amount of $43.0 million as collateral for specific municipal deposits. These Letters of Credit reduce the availability under the maximum borrowing capacity. There was $45.0 million outstanding in the form of Letters of Credit as of December 31, 2018.    Advances and Letters of Credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains or references fully taxable-equivalent (fte) interest income and net interest income, which arenon-GAAP financial measures. Interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) are derived from GAAP interest income and net interest income using an assumed tax rate of 21%. We believe the presentation of interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) ensures comparability of interest income and net interest income arising from both taxable andtax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Net interest income (fte) is reconciled to GAAP net interest income on pages 40 and 44. Although the Company believes that thesenon-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, thesenon-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2018

General

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, net income totaled $3,522,000 compared to $3,513,000 earned in the similar period in 2018. The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due primarily to a $397,000 improvement in net interest income. Earnings per share for the current period were $0.56 per share for basic shares and fully diluted shares compared to $0.57 per share for basic shares and $0.56 per share for fully diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were 1.16% and 10.93%, respectively, compared to 1.23% and 12.25%, respectively, for the similar period in 2018.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $9,878,000 which was $394,000 higher than the comparable period in 2018. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to a $1,485,000 increase in interest income (fte) on loans.Tax-equivalent interest income was negatively impacted by a $118,000 decrease in securities income. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.24% and 3.49%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 3.40% and 3.54%, respectively, for the similar period in 2018. The decrease in the net interest spread and margin reflects the increased cost of funding.

Interest income (fte) totaled $12,080,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.27% compared to $10,705,000 and 4.00% for the 2018 period. Average loans increased $88.1 million over the comparable period of last year, while average securities decreased $25.7 million as portfolio runoff was utilized to fund loan growth. Average earning assets totaled $1.132 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $61.4 million over the average for the similar period in 2018.    

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $2,202,000 at an average cost of 1.02% compared to $1,221,000 and 0.60% for the similar period in 2018. The increase in average cost reflects

42

the rising rates on borrowed funds and certificates of deposit. The average cost of time deposits, which is the most significant component of funding, increased to 1.83% from 1.15% for the similar period in the prior year.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $300,000 compared to $425,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. Net charge-offs were $421,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $198,000 for the similar period in 2018. The increase in charge-offs was due to one commercial credit which was written down by $336,000 in the current period. At June 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses represented 0.93% of loans receivable and 607% ofnon-performing loans.

Other Income

Other income totaled $1,641,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1,774,000 for the similar period in 2018. The decrease was due primarily to a $72,000 reduction in earnings and proceeds on bank-owned life insurance policies and a $61,000 reduction in loan related service fees included in service charges and fees. All other items included in other income were unchanged on a net basis.

Other Expense

Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $6,785,000 which was $432,000 higher than the same period of 2018 due primarily to a $193,000 increase in salaries and benefits expenses and a $132,000 increase in data processing costs. All other operating expenses increased $107,000, net.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $646,000 for an effective tax rate of 15.5% for the period ending June 30, 2019 compared to $698,000 for an effective tax rate of 16.6% for the similar period in 2018.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2018

General

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net income totaled $6,712,000 compared to $6,642,000 earned in the similar period in 2018. The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due primarily to an $860,000 improvement in net interest income. Earnings per share for the current period were $1.07 per share for basic shares and $1.06 for fully diluted shares compared to $1.07 per share for basic shares and $1.06 per share for fully diluted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were 1.12% and 10.66%, respectively, compared to 1.18% and 11.63%, respectively, for the similar period in 2018.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $19,413,000 which was $846,000 higher than the comparable period in 2018. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to a $2,981,000 increase in interest income (fte) on loans.Tax-equivalent interest income was negatively impacted by a $225,000 decrease in securities income. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.22% and 3.46%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 3.35% and 3.50%, respectively, for the similar period in 2018. The decrease in the net interest spread and margin reflects the increased cost of funding.

Interest income (fte) totaled $23,771,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.24% compared to $21,010,000 and 3.96% for the 2018 period. Average loans increased $89.0 million over the comparable period of last year, while average securities decreased $26.9 million as portfolio runoff was utilized to fund loan growth. Average earning assets totaled $1.121 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $60.6 million over the average for the similar period in 2018.    

46

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $4,358,000 at an average cost of 1.02% compared to $2,443,000 and 0.61% for the similar period in 2018. The increase in average cost reflects the rising rates on borrowed funds and certificates of deposit. The average cost of time deposits, which is the most significant component of funding, increased to 1.78% from 1.13% for the similar period in the prior year.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $750,000 compared to $975,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. Net charge-offs were $974,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $283,000 for the similar period in 2018. The increase in charge-offs was due primarily to two commercial credits which were written down by $787,000 in the aggregate during the 2019 period. At June 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses represented 0.93% of loans receivable and 607% ofnon-performing loans.

Other Income

Other income totaled $3,201,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $3,468,000 for the similar period in 2018. The decrease was due primarily to a $144,000 decrease in earnings and proceeds on bank-owned life insurance policies and a $135,000 decline in net gains realized on sales of securities. All other items included in other income increased $12,000, net.

Other Expense

Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $13,433,000 which was $833,000 higher than the same period of 2018 due primarily to a $380,000 increase in salaries and benefits expenses and a $262,000 increase in data processing costs. All other operating expenses increased $191,000, net.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $1,188,000 for an effective tax rate of 15.0% for the period ending June 30, 2019 compared to $1,273,000 for an effective tax rate of 16.1% for the similar period in 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

Interest rate sensitivity and the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities are managed by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The principal objective of ALCO is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk, which are established by policy. Interest rate risk is monitored and managed by using financial modeling techniques to measure the impact of changes in interest rates.

Net interest income, which is the primary source of the Company’s earnings, is impacted by changes in interest rates and the relationship of different interest rates. To manage the impact of the rate changes, the balance sheet must be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities at approximately the same time intervals. The Company uses net interest simulation to assist in interest rate risk management. The process includes simulating various interest rate environments and their impact on net interest income. As of June 30, 2019, the level of net interest income at risk in a rising or declining 200 basis point change in interest rates was within the Company’s policy limits. The Company’s policy allows for a decline of no more than 10% of net interest income for a ± 200 basis point shift in interest rates.

47

Imbalance in repricing opportunities at a given point in time reflects interest-sensitivity gaps measured as the difference between rate-sensitive assets (RSA) and rate-sensitive liabilities (RSL). These are static gap measurements that do not take into account any future activity, and as such are principally used as early indications of potential interest rate exposures over specific intervals.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a negative90-day interest sensitivity gap of $19.0 million or (1.6)% of total assets, compared to the $18.7 million negative gap, or (1.6)% of total assets, as of December 31, 2018. Rate-sensitive assets repricing within 90 days increased $11.7 million due primarily to a $5.2 million increase in loans and a $4.0 million increase in overnight liquidity. Rate-sensitive liabilities repricing within 90 days increased $12.0 million since year end due to a $14.7 million increase in time deposits repricing. A negative gap means that rate-sensitive liabilities are greater than rate-sensitive assets at the time interval. This would indicate that in a rising rate environment, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities could increase faster than the yield on interest-earning assets in the90-day time frame. The repricing intervals are managed by ALCO strategies, including adjusting the average life of the investment portfolio, pricing of deposit liabilities to attract longer term time deposits, loan pricing to encourage variable rate products and evaluation of loan sales of long-term fixed rate mortgages.

Certain interest-bearing deposits with no stated maturity dates are included in the interest-sensitivity table below. The balances allocated to the respective time periods represent an estimate of the total outstanding balance that has the potential to migrate through withdrawal or transfer to time deposits, thereby impacting the interest-sensitivity position of the Company. The estimates were derived from an independently preparednon-maturity deposit study for Wayne Bank which addressed the various deposit types and their pricing sensitivity to movements in market interest rates. The process involved analyzing correlations between product rates and market rates over aten-year period. The Company believes the study provides pertinent data to support the assumptions used in modelingnon-maturity deposits.
