NOTE 1    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10Q and Rule10-01 of RegulationS-X; accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Share data has been adjusted to reflect a2-for-1 stock split on September 20, 2017. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that are expected for the year ended December 31, 2018. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2017, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

NOTE 2    ASSET PURCHASES

The Company purchased an office on December 13, 2013 in Custar, Ohio. Core deposit intangible assets of $1.17 million were recognized and are being amortized over its remaining economic useful life of the deposits of 7 years on a straight line basis.

The amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $245 thousand, which included the remaining $78 thousand from the purchase of the Hicksville office on July 9, 2010. Of the $167 thousand to be expensed in 2018, $42 thousand has been expensed for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Investment securities will at times depreciate to an unrealized loss position. The Company utilizes the following criteria to assess whether impairment is other than temporary. No one item by itself will necessarily signal that a security should be recognized as an other than temporary impairment.

1. The fair value of the security has significantly declined from book value.

2. A downgrade has occurred that lowered the credit rating to below investment grade (below Baa3 by Moody and BBB – by Standard and Poors.)

3. Dividends have been reduced or eliminated or scheduled interest payments have not been made.

4. The underwater security has longer than 10 years to maturity and the loss position had existed for more than 3 years.

5. Management does not possess both the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

If the impairment is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to fair value, thereby establishing a new cost basis. The new cost basis shall not be changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. The amount of the write down shall be included in current earnings as a realized loss. The recovery in fair value, if any, shall be recognized in earnings when the security is sold. The table below is presented by category of security and length of time in a continuous loss position. The Company currently does not hold any securities with other than temporary impairment.

Totalavailable-for-sale securities	$	(625	)	$	66,400	$	(2,643	)	$	106,840

Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, values have only been impacted by rate changes, and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the decline in value is primarily due to changes in interest rates since the securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach the maturity date.

Below are the gross realized gains and losses for the three months ended March 31.

Following are the characteristics and underwriting criteria for each major type of loan the Bank offers:

Consumer Real Estate: Purchase, refinance, or equity financing of one to four family owner occupied dwelling. Success in repayment is subject to borrower’s income, debt level, character in fulfilling payment obligations, employment, and others.

Agricultural Real Estate: Purchase of farm real estate or for permanent improvements to the farm real estate. Cash flow from the farm operation is the repayment source and is therefore subject to the financial success of the farm operation.

Agricultural: Loans for the production and housing of crops, fruits, vegetables, and livestock or to fund the purchase orre-finance of capital assets such as machinery and equipment and livestock. The production of crops and livestock is especially vulnerable to commodity prices and weather. The vulnerability to commodity prices is offset by the farmer’s ability to hedge their position by the use of the future contracts. The risk related to weather is often mitigated by requiring crop insurance.

Commercial Real Estate: Construction, purchase, and refinance of business purpose real estate. Risks include potential construction delays and overruns, vacancies, collateral value subject to market value fluctuations, interest rate, market demands, borrower’s ability to repay in orderly fashion, and others. The Bank does employ stress testing on higher balance loans to mitigate risk by ensuring the customer’s ability to repay in a changing rate environment before granting loan approval.

Commercial and Industrial: Loans to proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations to provide temporary working capital and seasonal loans as well as long term loans for capital asset acquisition. Risks include adequacy of cash flow, reasonableness of projections, financial leverage, economic trends, management ability and estimated capital expenditures during the fiscal year. The Bank does employ stress testing on higher balance loans to mitigate risk by ensuring the customer’s ability to repay in a changing rate environment before granting loan approval.

Industrial Development Bonds (IDB): Funds for public improvements in the Bank’s service area. Repayment ability is based on the continuance of the taxation revenue as the source of repayment.

Consumer: Funding for individual and family purposes. Success in repayment is subject to borrower’s income, debt level, character in fulfilling payment obligations, employment, and others.

NOTE 4    LOANS (Continued)

The Bank uses a nine tier risk rating system to grade its loans. The grade of a loan may change during the life of the loan.

The risk ratings are described as follows.

1. Zero (0) Unclassified. Any loan which has not been assigned a classification.

2. One (1) Excellent. Credit to premier customers having the highest credit rating based on an extremely strong financial condition, which compares favorably with industry standards (upper quartile of Risk Management Association ratios). Financial statements indicate a sound earnings and financial ratio trend for several years with satisfactory profit margins and excellent liquidity exhibited. Prime credits may also be borrowers with loans fully secured by highly liquid collateral such as traded stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, savings account, etc. No credit or collateral exceptions exist and the loan adheres to the Bank’s loan policy in every respect. Financing alternatives would be readily available and would qualify for unsecured credit. This grade is summarized by high liquidity, minimum risk, strong ratios, and low handling costs.

3. Two (2) Good. Desirable loans of somewhat less stature than Grade 1, but with strong financial statements. Loan supported by financial statements containing strong balance sheets, generally with a leverage position less than 1.50, and a history of profitability. Probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. Possessing a sound repayment source (and a secondary source), which would allow repayment in a reasonable period of time. Individual loans backed by liquid personal assets, established history and unquestionable character.

4. Three (3) Satisfactory. Satisfactory loans of average or slightly above average risk - having some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic conditions, but still fully collectible. Projects should normally demonstrate acceptable debt service coverage. Generally, customers should have a leverage position less than 2.00. May be some weakness but with offsetting features of other support readily available. Loans that are meeting the terms of repayment.

Loans may be graded 3 when there is no recent information on which to base a current risk evaluation and the following conditions apply:

At inception, the loan was properly underwritten and did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk:

a. At inception, the loan was secured with collateral possessing a loan value adequate to protect the Bank from loss;

b. The loan exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance;

c. During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants, or the business is in an industry which is known to be experiencing problems. If any of the credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade is warranted.

5. Four (4) Satisfactory / Monitored. A “4” (Satisfactory/Monitored) risk grade may be established for a loan considered satisfactory but which is of average credit risk due to financial weakness or uncertainty. The loans warrant a higher than average level of monitoring to ensure that weaknesses do not advance. The level of risk in Satisfactory/Monitored classification is considered acceptable and within normal underwriting guidelines, so long as the loan is given management supervision.

6. Five (5) Special Mention. Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserves close attention, but which do not yet warrant substandard classification. Such loans pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk in the future. The key distinctions of a 5 (Special Mention) classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk, and (2) weaknesses are considered “potential”, versus “defined”, impairments to the primary source of loan repayment and collateral.

7. Six (6) Substandard. One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified substandard:

a. Loans, which possess a defined credit weakness and the likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source, are uncertain. Financial deterioration is underway and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss.

b. Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower.

14

ITEM 1 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 4    LOANS (Continued)

c. The primary source of repayment is weakened, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment such as collateral liquidation or guarantees.

d. Loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.

e. Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment.

f. The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, continues to make interest payments.

g. The lender is forced into a subordinate position or unsecured collateral position due to flaws in documentation.

h. Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms.

i. The lender is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan.

j. There is significant deterioration in the market conditions and the borrower is highly vulnerable to these conditions.

8. Seven (7) Doubtful. One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Doubtful:

a. Loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. Additionally, however, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full based on existing conditions improbable.

b. The primary source of repayment is gone, and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.

c. The possibility of loss is high, but, because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until its exact status is known. A Doubtful classification is established deferring the realization of the loss.

9. Eight (8) Loss. Loans are considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets on the institution’s financial statements is not feasible. Loans will be classified Loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.

The Bank had approximately $527 thousand of its impaired loans classified as troubled debt restructured (TDR) as of March 31, 2018, $534 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and $551 thousand as of March 31, 2017. During the year to date 2018 and 2017, there were no new loans considered TDR.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no TDRs that subsequently defaulted after modification.

For the majority of the Bank’s impaired loans, the Bank will apply the fair value of collateral or use a measurement incorporating the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate of interest. To determine fair value of collateral, collateral asset values securing an impaired loan are periodically evaluated. Maximum time ofre-evaluation is every 12 months for chattels and titled vehicles and every two years for real estate. In this process, third party evaluations are obtained. Until such time that updated appraisals are received, the Bank may discount the collateral value used.

The Bank uses the following guidelines as stated in policy to determine when to realize acharge-off, whether a partial or full loan balance. Acharge-off in whole or in part is realized when unsecured consumer loans, credit card credits and overdraft lines of credit reach 90 days delinquency. At 120 days delinquent, secured consumer loans are charged down to the value of the collateral, if repossession of the collateral is assured and/or in the process of repossession. Consumer mortgage loan deficiencies are charged down upon the sale of the collateral or sooner upon the recognition of collateral deficiency. Commercial and agricultural credits are charged down at 120 days delinquency, unless an established and approvedwork-out plan is in place or litigation of the credit will likely result in recovery of the loan balance. Upon notification of bankruptcy, unsecured debt is charged off. Additionalcharge-off may be realized as further unsecured positions are recognized.

NOTE 5    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula under which earnings per share is calculated from common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings distributed and undistributed, are allocated to participating securities and common shares based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities (i.e. unvested restricted stock), not subject to performance based measures. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Application of thetwo-class method for participating securities results a more dilutive basic earnings per share as the participating securities are allocated the same amount of income as if they are outstanding for purposes of basic earnings per share. There is no additional potential dilution in calculating diluted earnings per share, therefore basic and diluted earnings per share are the same amounts. Other than the restricted stock plan, the Company has no other stock based compensation plans.

NOTE 6    FAIR VALUE OF INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair values of financial instruments are management’s estimate of the values at which the instruments could be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. These estimates are subjective and may vary significantly from amounts that would be realized in actual transactions. In addition, other significant assets are not considered financial assets including deferred tax assets, premises, equipment and intangibles. Further, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

NOTE 6    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following assumptions and methods were used in estimating the fair value for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold approximate their fair values. Also included in this line item are the carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days which approximate their fair values. Fair values of other interest-bearing deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of deposits.

Interest Bearing Time Deposits

Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Securities -Available-for-sale

Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank and Farmer Mac stock, are based on quoted market price, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Other Securities

The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Farmer Mac stock, listed as “other securities”, approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loans Held for Sale

The carrying amount approximates fair value due to insignificant amount of time between origination and date of sale.

Loans, net

The fair values of the loans are estimated using a credit mark adjustment along with discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The credit mark adjustment was estimated using merger and acquisition analysis of nationwide bank and thrift deals closed in the last six months of 2017.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for deposits with no defined maturities are equal to their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair value at the reporting date. Fair value for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The carrying value of federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates fair values.

FHLB Advances

Fair values or FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types or borrowing arrangements.

25

ITEM 1 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 6    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Fair values foroff-balance sheet, credit related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counter-parties’ credit standing.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying or notional amounts, for on andoff-balance sheet financial instruments as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are reflected below.

Fair Value Measurements

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Available-for-sale securities, when quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are valued using the quoted price and are classified as Level 1.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Available-for-sale securities classified as Level 2 are valued using the prices obtained from an independent pricing service. The prices are not adjusted. Securities of obligations of state and political subdivisions are valued using a type of matrix, or grid, pricing in which securities are benchmarked against the treasury rate based on credit rating. Substantially all assumptions used by the independent pricing service are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. The Bank holds some local municipals that the Bank evaluates based on the credit strength of the underlying project. The fair value is determined by valuing similar credit payment streams at similar rates.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.

Most of the Company’savailable-for-sale securities, including any bonds issued by local municipalities, have CUSIP numbers or have similar characteristics of those in the municipal markets, making them marketable and comparable as Level 2.

The Company also has assets that, under certain conditions, are subject to measurement at fair value on anon-recurring basis. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, such assets consist primarily of collateral dependent impaired loans. Collateral dependent impaired loans categorized as Level 3 assets consist ofnon-homogeneous loans that are considered impaired. The Company estimates the fair value of the loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using management’s best estimate of key assumptions. These assumptions include future payment ability, timing of payment streams, and estimated realizable values of available collateral (typically based on outside appraisals.)

NOTE 6    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans categorized as Level 3 was $503 and $508 thousand, respectively. The specific allocation for impaired loans was $104 and $106 thousand as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which are accounted for in the allowance for loan losses (see Note 4).

Other real estate is reported at either the lower of the fair value of the real estate minus the estimated costs to sell the asset or the cost of the asset. The determination of fair value of the real estate relies primarily on appraisals from third parties. If the fair value of the real estate, minus the estimated costs to sell the asset, is less than the asset’s cost, the deficiency is recognized as a valuation allowance against the asset through a charge to expense. The valuation allowance is therefore increased or decreased, through charges or credits to expense, for changes in the asset’s fair value or estimated selling costs.

NOTE 8    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” ASU2014-09 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved amendments deferring the effective date by one year. ASU2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Update recognized at the date of initial application. Early application was permitted but not before the original public entity effective date, i.e., annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted ASU2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and has determined, based on analysis performed, that ASU No2014-09 does not have a significant impact on its financial statements. Several of the Company’s revenue streams were scoped out as a result of the standard.

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASUNo. 2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.”ASU2016-01 is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured and amortized at cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in a accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. ASU2016-01 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU2016-01 on January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statement. The Bank’s equity securities are membership stocks in the Federal Home Loan Bank and Farmer Mac and thereby excluded from fair value pricing. For exit pricing on loans, the company used recent Merger and Acquisition Transaction Metrics compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence for the second half of 2017. This provided the credit mark to be used along with the fair value adjustment based on the yield metrics of the portfolio.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).”ASU2016-02 establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. A lease will be treated as sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU2016-02 on its accounting and disclosures and currently has very limited exposure to the rule.

In June 2016, FASB issued2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today

32

ITEM 1 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 8    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses onavailable-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.

The ASU is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). Early application will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently gathering information, reviewing possible vendors and has formed a committee to formulate the methodology to be used. Most importantly, the Company is gathering as much data as possible to enable review scenarios and determine which calculations will produce the most reliable results. At this time, an external advisor has been contracted. The Company is in the early stages of CECL conversion.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash.”ASU-2016-18 provides amendments to cash flow statement classification and presentation to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interim period. The Company has adopted ASU2016-18 on January 1, 2018 and does not currently have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. In the future, restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents will be presented in accordance with the guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-01 “Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business.”ASU2017-01 provides amendments to clarify the definition of a business and affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. The company has adopted ASU2017-01 on January 1, 2018 and going forward will account for business combinations accordingly.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-04“Intangibles - Goodwill and other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect ASU2017-04 to have a material impact on its accounting disclosures, as goodwill testing has been completed annually without any impairment concerns.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)No. 2017-08“Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Cost (Subtopic310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debit Securities.” These amendments shorten the amortization period for certain callable debit securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The amendments should be

applied on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. The impact of just over $30 thousand of accelerated amortization expense was booked and the adjustment ran through retained earnings. This will not alter the Bank or Company’s well capitalized status. The Bank’s MunicipalTax-Exempt category of securities was the only category affected by the adoption.

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)No. 2017-09 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting.”These amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 7l8. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted ASU2016-09 on January 1, 2017. ASU2016-09 also requires that companies make an accounting policy election regarding forfeitures, to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for them when they occur. The impact of this change and that of the remaining provisions of ASU2016-09 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)No. 2018-02 “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”The amendments allow for the reclassification of stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) an option rather than a requirement; however, disclosure is required if not elected. The reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings results from the newly enacted federal corporate income tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Job Acts signed by President Trump in December 2017. The amount of the reclassification is the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate and the newly enacted corporate income tax rate of 21%. Entities will have an option to adopt the standard retrospectively or in the period of adoption. The company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 and reclassified approximately $360 thousand into retained earnings.

OVERVIEW

With long-term sustainable growth as a strategic objective, the Bank opened its 25^th office in Findlay, Ohio, in the first quarter. Unique to the office is the utilization of newer technology in the form of Interactive Teller Machines (ITMs). The use of ITMs enabled the office to be remodeled and eliminated the traditional teller line anddrive-up. The ITMs have remote assistance available upon request or the customer can complete the transactions themselves with debit card activation. Previous teller line space has been converted to work stations at which personal relationship bankers may assist customers with transactions, open a deposit account, add a service or grant a consumer loan. The strategic initiative provides a better customer experience upon entering the office. A personal relationship banker will greet the customer and personally assist them with their banking needs. The physical office transformations will continue with existing offices over multiple years and any additional new offices will be designed accordingly.

All offices will have some type of personnel transformation in the coming quarter as the banking experience of our communities is also more personalized. Bankers will be spending more time out of the office, focused on small business relationships and home loan originations. Along with the new office, the Company plans for growth in 2018 to be more focused within its newer markets – both in loans and deposits. This has been evident already in the first quarter of this year.

Overall, the local economies continue to grow. The loan pipeline remains strong and has yet to be negatively impacted by the prime rate increases of the last 12 months. Public road work is slowing while private demand is picking up. More companies are turning to automation as finding employees has become more difficult. The labor shortage is a concern for many industrial sectors. The company has also experienced difficulty in finding quality employees with the low unemployment rates throughout our markets.

OVERVIEW (Continued)

Government policies have created volatility in the agricultural sector. Wet land and cold temperatures throughout the market area have also kept farmers out of the fields. However, there is time for both situations to improve before it will permanently affect the agricultural community. Land values continue to hold on sales of marginal soil types showing a slight deterioration in prices.

Federal rate increases have resulted in a widening of the net interest margin. The sustainability of a widening of the margin with future rate hikes is questionable. Pressure on the cost of funds continues to mount with each rate increase. The flattening of the yield curve, which is being driven by the increase in the short end of the curve puts the most pressure on the most liquid funds.

Lastly, a very bright spot in 2018 has been the change in tax rates. The Company has chosen to invest a portion of those tax savings dollars to increase the base pay of our lowest paid employees. We continue to evaluate how best to utilize those funds to impact our shareholders, customers, communities and employees. Additional investment in capital assets is also likely as mentioned in the strategic initiatives previously.

The dividend declared for the first quarter represented a 13% increase over the declaration of the same period last year. Strong earnings for the first quarter exceeded the prior quarter and first quarter last year. The focus remains on loan and deposit growth for 2018 along with a widening of our footprint from the additional offices. As mentioned previously, improved profitability through long term sustainable growth is the overall goal of the organization.

NATURE OF ACTIVITIES

Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company incorporated under the laws of Ohio in 1985. Our subsidiaries are, The Farmers & Merchants State Bank (the “Bank”), a community bank operating in Northwest Ohio since 1897 and Farmers & Merchants Risk Management, Inc., a captive insurance company formed in December 2014 and is located in Nevada. We report our financial condition and net income on a consolidated basis and we have only one segment.

Our executive offices are located at 307 North Defiance Street, Archbold, Ohio 43502, and our telephone number is (419)446-2501. The Bank operates twenty-five full service banking offices throughout Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana.

The Bank opened an additional office during February of 2018 in Findlay, Ohio and the office is located in Hancock County. The Bank purchased the building in 2017 was subsequently remodeled. The Bank has continued its expansion strategy and the new office is expected to provide new growth opportunities.

The Farmers & Merchants State Bank engages in general commercial banking and savings business including commercial, agricultural and residential mortgage, consumer and credit card lending activities. The largest segment of the lending business relates to commercial, both real estate andnon-real estate. The type of commercial business ranges from small business to multi-million dollar companies. The loans are a reflection of business located within the Banks’ market area. Because the Bank’s offices are located in Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana, a substantial amount of the loan portfolio is comprised of loans made to customers in the farming industry for such items as farm land, farm equipment, livestock and operating loans for seed, fertilizer, and feed. Other types of lending activities include loans for home improvements, and loans for the purchase of autos, trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and other consumer goods.

The Bank also provides checking account services, as well as savings and time deposit services such as certificates of deposits. In addition, Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) are provided at most branch locations along with other independent locations such as major employers and hospitals in the market area. The Bank has custodial services for Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). The Bank provideson-line banking access for consumer and business customers. For consumers, this includesbill-pay,on-line statement opportunities and mobile banking. For business customers, it provides the option of electronic transaction origination such as wire and Automated Clearing House (ACH) file transmittal. In addition, the Bank offers remote deposit capture or electronic deposit processing and merchant credit card services. Mobile banking was added in 2012 and has been widely accepted and used by consumers. Over the past couple of years, the Bank has updated its consumer offerings with “Secure” and

“Pure” checking in 2014 and with KASASA Cash Back in 2015. During the second quarter 2017, new business checking products were announced and existing business accounts were converted to one of three new products, Business Essential, Edge or Elite. The new products provided customers with new options to bundle services and for the Bank to utilize the full relationship to determine pricing. This was the next step of implementation for the Bank’s “earn to free” strategic initiative. Upgrades to our digital products and services continue to occur in both retail and business lines.

The Bank has established underwriting policies and procedures which facilitate operating in a safe and sound manner in accordance with supervisory and regulatory guidance. Within this sphere of safety and soundness, the Bank’s practice has been to not promote innovative, unproven credit products which may not be in the best interest of the Bank or its customers. The Bank does offer a hybrid mortgage loan. Hybrid loans are loans that start out as a fixed rate mortgage but after a set number of years automatically adjust to an adjustable rate mortgage. The Bank offers a three year fixed rate mortgage after which the interest rate will adjust annually. The majority of the Bank’s adjustable rate mortgages are of this type. In order to offer longer term fixed rate mortgages, the Bank does participate in the Freddie Mac, Farmer Mac and Small Business Lending programs. The Bank also normally retains the servicing rights on these partially or 100% sold loans. In order for the customer to participate in these programs they must meet the requirements established by those agencies. In addition, the Bank does sell some of its longer term fixed rate agricultural mortgages into the secondary market with the aid of a broker.

The Bank does not have a program to fundsub-prime loans.Sub-prime loans are characterized as a lending program or strategy that targets borrowers who pose a significantly higher risk of default than traditional retail banking customers.

All loan requests are reviewed as to credit worthiness and are subject to the Bank’s underwriting guidelines as to secured versus unsecured credit. Secured loans are in turn subject to loan to value (LTV) requirements based on collateral types as set forth in the Bank’s Loan Policy. In addition, credit scores of those seeking consumer credit are reviewed and if they do not meet the Bank’s Loan Policy guidelines and additional officer approval is required.

Consumer Loans:

• Maximum loan to value (LTV) for cars, trucks and light trucks vary from 90% to 110% depending on whether direct or indirect.

• Loans above 100% are generally due to additional charges for extended warranties and/or insurance coverage periods for wage or death.

• Boats, campers, motorcycles, RV’s and Motor Coaches range from80%-90% based on age of vehicle.

• 1st or 2nd mortgages on1-4 family homes range from75%-90% with“in-house” first real estate mortgages requiring private mortgage insurance on those exceeding 80% LTV.

• Raw land LTV maximum ranges from65%-75% depending on whether or not the property has been improved.

Commercial/Agriculture/Real Estate:

• Maximum LTVs range from70%-80% depending on type.

• Accounts Receivable: Up to 80% LTV less retainages and greater than 90 days.

Inventory:

• Agriculture:

Livestock and grain up to 80% LTV, crops (insured) up to 75% and Warehouse Receipts up to 87%.

• Commercial:

Maximum LTV of 50% on raw and finished goods.

• Floor plan:

o New/used vehicles to 100% of wholesale.

o New/Used recreational vehicles and manufactured homes to 80% of wholesale.

Equipment:

• New not to exceed 80% of invoice, used NTE 50% of listed book or 75% of appraised value.

• Restaurant equipment up to 35% of market value.

• Heavy trucks, titled trailers up to NTE 75% LTV and aircraft up to 75% of appraised value.

NATURE OF ACTIVITIES (Continued)

F&M Investment Services, the brokerage department of the Bank, opened for business in April, 1999. Securities are offered through Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.

In December of 2014, the Company became a financial holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 as amended (the “Act”), in order to provide the flexibility to take advantage of the expanded powers available to a financial holding company under the Act. Our subsidiary bank is in turn regulated and examined by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The activities of our bank subsidiary are also subject to other federal and state laws and regulations. The Company also formed a captive insurance company (the “captive”) in December 2014 which is located in Nevada and regulated by the State of Nevada Division of Insurance.

The Bank’s primary market includes communities located in the Ohio counties of Defiance, Fulton, Hancock, Henry, Lucas, Williams, Wood and in the Indiana counties of Allen, DeKalb and Steuben. In our banking activities, we compete directly with other commercial banks, credit unions, farm credit services, and savings and loan institutions in each of our operating localities. In a number of our locations, we compete against entities which are much larger than us. The primary factors in competing for loans and deposits are the rates charged as well as location and quality of the services provided.

At March 31, 2018, we had 274 full time equivalent employees. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. We provide our employees with a comprehensive benefit program, some of which are contributory. We consider our employee relations to be good.

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

The Bank remains attentive to the current regulatory environment in light of the risk-based approach regulatory agencies use to conduct examinations. The degree of regulatory changes and the complexity of the recent new rules, which lack clarity or guidance on various provisions, and have resulted in uncertainties regarding liability, pose an increased overall risk of noncompliance. Various significant mortgage rules require ongoing monitoring by means of testing, validation of results, additional training, and further research or consultation to assist with ensuring compliance.

The Bank is subject to numerous laws, rules, regulations and guidance which include, but are not limited to, the following significant matters: deposit insurance coverage; equal credit opportunity; fair lending; community reinvestment; anti-money laundering; suspicious activity reporting; identity theft identification and prevention; protections for military members and their dependents; flood disaster protection; integrated mortgage disclosures; mortgage servicing rights; legal lending limits; electronic fund transfers; consumer privacy; and unfair and deceptive acts and practices. Extensive training and training resources are necessary to develop and maintain expertise on the various regulatory matters.

The Bank is near completion of implementation of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s final rules on Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Beneficial Ownership. The mandatory effective date is May 11, 2018. Prior to these new rules, the ability for individuals to hide financial activity through anonymous ownership of business entities was a weakness in the fight against financial crime. The CDD Final Rule is a significant step toward greater financial transparency. By gaining a more complete profile of entity customers, financial institutions can help further reduce the flow of illicit funds through the US banking system. The CDD and Beneficial Ownership final rules added a fifth core element to the original core elements necessary for an effective Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering compliance program.

The Company has implemented Basel III capital rules which began to be phased in for the Company on January 1, 2015. These rules may impact the ability of some financial institutions to pay dividends, though the Company believes itself to be able to maintain its strong capital position and not be limited in that regard.

With regard to all regulatory matters, the Bank remains committed in making good faith efforts to comply with technical requirements of the laws, rules, regulations, and guidance from both federal and state agencies which govern its activities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company follows general practices within the financial services industry in which it operates. At times the application of these principles requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

These assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. As this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different assumptions, estimates and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on assumptions, estimates and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Examples of critical assumptions, estimates and judgments are when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not required to be recorded at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability must be recorded contingent upon a future event. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements and in the management discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued and how those values are determined for the financial statements. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to assumptions, estimates, and judgments underlying those amounts, management has identified the recognition of revenue, the determination of the ALLL, the valuation of its Mortgage Servicing Rights and the valuation of real estate acquired through or in lieu of; loan foreclosures (“OREO Property”) as the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be the most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The Company recognizes revenues as they are earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s principal source of revenue is interest income from loans and investment securities. The Company also earns noninterest income from various banking and financial services offered primarily through Farmers & Merchants State Bank. Interest income is primarily recognized on an accrual basis according to nondiscretionary formulas written in contracts, such as loan agreements or investment security contracts. The Company also earns noninterest income from various banking and financial services provided to business and consumer clients such as deposit account, debit card, and mortgage banking services. Revenue is recorded for noninterest income based on the contractual terms for the service or transaction performed. In certain circumstances, noninterest income is reported net of associated expenses.

OREO Property held for sale and is initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell.

Costs of holding foreclosed real estate are charged to expense in the current period, except for significant property improvements, which are capitalized. Valuations are periodically performed by management and a write-down is recorded by a charge tonon-interest expense if the carrying value exceeds the fair value minus estimated costs to sell.

The net income from operations of foreclosed real estate held for sale is reported either in noninterest income or noninterest expense depending upon whether the property is in a gain or loss position overall. At March 31, 2018 OREO property holdings were $651 thousand. OREO totaled $674 thousand and $774 thousand as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017 respectively.

The ALLL and ACL represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio, unfunded loan commitments, and letters of credit at the report date. The ALLL methodology is regularly reviewed for its appropriateness and is approved annually by the Board of Directors. This written methodology is consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which provides for a consistently applied analysis.

The Bank’s methodology provides an estimate of the probable credit losses either by calculating a specific loss per credit or by applying a composite of historical factors over a relevant period of time with current internal and external factors which may affect credit collectability. Such factors which may influence estimated losses are the conditions of the local and national economy, local unemployment trends, and abilities of lending staff, valuation trends of fixed assets, and trends in credit delinquency, classified credits, and credit losses.

38

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (Continued)

Inherent in most estimates is imprecision. The Bank’s ALLL provides a margin for imprecision with an unallocated portion. Bank regulatory agencies and external auditors periodically review the Bank’s methodology and adequacy of the ALLL. Any required changes in the ALLL or loan charge-offs by these agencies or auditors may have a material effect on the ALLL.

The Bank is also required to estimate the value of its mortgage servicing rights. The Bank’s mortgage servicing rights relating to fixed rate single-family mortgage loans that is has sold without recourse but services for others for a fee represent an asset on the Bank’s balance sheet. The valuation is completed by an independent third party.

The expected and actual rates of mortgage loan prepayments are the most significant factors driving the potential for the impairment of the value of mortgage servicing assets. Increases in mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced.

The Bank’s mortgage servicing rights relating to loans serviced for others represent an asset. This asset is initially capitalized and included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The mortgage servicing rights are then amortized against noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying mortgage servicing rights using the level yield method. The amortization thereof is recorded innon-interest expense. There are a number of factors, however, that can affect the ultimate value of the mortgage servicing rights to the Bank. The expected and actual rates of mortgage loan prepayments are the most significant factors driving the potential for the impairment of the value of mortgage servicing assets. Increases in mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced, meaning that the present value of the mortgage servicing rights is less than the carrying value of those rights on the Bank’s balance sheet. Therefore, in an attempt to reflect an accurate expected value to the Bank of the mortgage servicing rights, the Bank receives a valuation of its mortgage servicing rights from an independent third party. The independent third party’s valuation of the mortgage servicing rights is based on relevant characteristics of the Bank’s loan servicing portfolio, such as loan terms, interest rates and recent national prepayment experience, as well as current national market interest rate levels, market forecasts and other economic conditions. For purposes of determining impairment, the mortgage servicing assets are stratified into like groups based on loan type, term, new versus seasoned and interest rate. Management, with the advice from its third party valuation firm, reviewed the assumptions related to prepayment speeds, discount rates, and capitalized mortgage servicing income on a quarterly basis. Changes are reflected in the following quarter’s analysis related to the mortgage servicing asset. In addition, based upon the independent third party’s valuation of the Bank’s mortgage servicing rights, management then establishes a valuation allowance by each strata, if necessary, to quantify the likely impairment of the value of the mortgage servicing rights to the Bank. The estimates of prepayment speeds and discount rates are inherently uncertain, and different estimates could have a material impact on the Bank’s net income and results of operations. The valuation allowance is evaluated and adjusted quarterly by management to reflect changes in the fair value of the underlying mortgage servicing rights based on market conditions. The accuracy of these estimates and assumptions by management and its third party valuation specialist can be directly tied back to the fact that management has only been required to record minor valuation allowances through its income statement over time based upon the valuation of each stratum of servicing rights.

For more information regarding the estimates and calculations used to establish the ALLL and the value of Mortgage Servicing Rights, please see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements provided herewith.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company plans to continue in its growth mode in 2018 led by loan growth from within our newer markets. The Bank is focused on funding the loan growth with the least expensive source. Growing deposits will also be a focus especially in our newer business checking product lines. These products bundle services and enable customers to choose their desired levels services and offer pricing based on a full relationship and not on just the single account. The Bank was able to grow deposits in the last quarter of 2017 and continued to do so through the first three months of 2018. The Bank also decreased the level of pledged securities by offering the Insured Cash Sweep, “ICS” product accessed through the Promontory network of financial institutions. This has provided more availability for sales of securities by the Bank if warranted to fund loan growth.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

Liquidity in terms of cash and cash equivalents ended $5.4 million higher as of March 31, 2018 than it was at yearend December 31, 2017. A decrease in securities held along with increased deposits funded the $11.8 million increase in net loans since yearend 2017. The largest loan growth occurred in commercial real estate and agricultural portfolios.

Agricultural real estate, consumer real estate and consumer portfolios also experienced increases. The largest decline was in the commercial and industrial portfolios.

In comparing to the same prior year period, the March��31, 2018 (net of deferred fees and cost) loan balances of $834.7 million accounted for a $63.5 million or 8.2% increase when compared to 2017’s $771.2 million. The year over year improvement was made up of a 7.2% increase in commercial and industrial loans, an 8.5% increase in commercial real estate loans, a 14.0% increase in consumer loans and lastly a combined increase in agricultural related loans (comprised of a 7.6% increase in agricultural real estate loans and 14.8% increase innon-real estate agricultural loans). Consumer real estate loans slightly decreased while Industrial Development Bonds (“IDB’s”) increased 12.1%. The Company credits the growth to a strong team of lenders focused on providing customers valuable localized services and thereby increasing our market share.

The chart below shows the breakdown of the loan portfolio by category as of March 31 for the last three years, net of deferred fees and costs.

While the security portfolio has been utilized to fund loan growth for the last three years, additional sources have been cultivated during 2016, 2017, and 2018. The security portfolio decreased $3.5 million in the first three months 2018 from yearend 2017. The amount of pledged investment securities decreased by $774 thousand as compared to yearend and $5.6 million as compared to March 31, 2017. This was accomplished by utilizing Promontory’s Insured Cash Sweep, “ICS”, product to protect Ohio public fund depositors and commercial sweep customers with FDIC coverage rather than pledge securities. This in turn improves liquidity with the additional option of selling unpledged investment securities if needed to fund loan growth or other initiatives. As of March 31, 2018, pledged investment securities totaled $82.1 million. The current portfolio is in a net unrealized loss position of $5.2 million.

With the exception of FHLB stock and Farmer Mac stock, carried at cost, which is shown as other securities, all of the Company’s security portfolio is categorized as“available-for-sale” and as such is recorded at fair value.

Management feels confident that liquidity needs for future growth can be met through additional maturities and/or sales from the security portfolio, increased deposits and additional borrowings. For short term needs, the Bank has $120.8 million of unsecured borrowing capacity through its correspondent banks.

Overall total assets grew 1.5% since yearend 2017 and 5.3% since March 31, 2017. The largest growth in both periods was in the loan portfolios followed by cash and cash equivalents since yearend and time deposits since March 31, 2017.

Deposits accounted for the largest growth within liabilities, up 3.7% or $34 million since yearend and 6.6% or $58.6 million over March 31, 2017 balances. Core deposits continue to drive the increase which provided the greatest benefit for both lower cost of funds and the opportunity to generate additional noninterest income. Compared to previous year, a movement of funds from securities sold under agreement to repurchase into interest bearing NOW accounts occurred due to utilization of the ICS product previously mentioned. This growth aided the increased liquidity position and funded the loan growth for the periods along with usage of purchased Federal Funds for daily borrowings.

Shareholders’ equity increased by $740 thousand as of the first quarter of 2018 compared to yearend 2017, as earnings exceeded dividend declarations. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased in loss position by $2.3 million from December 2017. Dividends paid and dividends declared for the quarter equaled the previous quarter. Compared to March 31, 2017, shareholders’ equity increased 5.6% or $7.2 million. Record profits during 2017 were offset by a change in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to theavailable-for-sale securities portfolio from a loss position of $1.7 million to a loss position of $4.1 million as of March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Profits are higher in March 2018 than March 2017 by $928 thousand and from last quarter by $331 thousand.

Basel III regulatory capital requirements became effective in 2016. The Bank and Company include a capital conservation buffer as a part of the transition provision. For calendar year 2016, the applicable required capital conservation buffer percentage of 0.625% was the base above which institutions avoid limitations on distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments. For the calendar year 2017, the applicable required capital conservation buffer percentage was 1.25%. For 2018, the capital conservation buffer percentage increases to 1.875%. The total buffer requirement will increase to 2.5% for calendar year 2019. As of March 31, 2018, the Company and the Bank are both positioned well above the 2019 requirement.

The Company continues to be well-capitalized in accordance with Federal regulatory capital requirements as the capital ratios below show:

Tier I Leverage Ratio	12.11	%
Risk Based Capital Tier I	14.90	%
Total Risk Based Capital	15.68	%
Stockholders’ Equity/Total Assets	12.00	%
Capital Conservation Buffer	7.68	%

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Results of Interest Earnings and Expenses for three month periods ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and December 31, 2017.

When comparing first quarter 2018 to first quarter 2017, average loan balances grew $63 million. This represented a strong 8.3% increase in a one year time period. Interest income on loan balances also experienced an increase of $1.4 million as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

In terms of comparison to fourth quarter 2017, loan interest income was $274 thousand higher in first quarter 2018. The three months of fourth quarter 2017 had more days at 92 than 2018’s first quarter had with 90.

The higher levels of loan interest income helped to offset theavailable-for-sale securities portfolio, which increased in average balances when comparing to last quarter but decreased in average balances from the previous year. The decreased balances were expected asavailable-for-sale securities were used as a source of funds for loan growth. The income associated with the security portfolio increased by $9 thousand in comparison to fourth quarter 2017 and decreased $40 thousand in comparison to the same first quarter 2017. The benefit of the increase in interest income from loans was well above the loss of interest income from the smaller security portfolio.

Overall, interest income for the quarter comparisons was higher for first quarter 2018 by 14.6% or $1.4 million as to first quarter 2017 and higher by 2.5% or $268 thousand as to last quarter 2017.

The following chart demonstrates the value of increased loan balances in the balance sheet mix, even if offset by lower balances in other interest bearing assets. The yields ontax-exempt securities and the portion of thetax-exempt IDB loans included in loans have been tax adjusted based on a 34% tax rate for 2017 and a 21% tax rate for 2018 in the charts to follow.

Offsetting some of the increase in interest income for the quarter was the increase in cost of funds in 2018. First quarter 2018 was higher by $284 thousand than first quarter 2017. Since 2017, average interest-bearing deposit balances have increased $53.1 million and resulted in $289 thousand more in interest expense for the most recent quarter. Additionally, interest expense on Fed Funds Purchased, Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase and FHLB borrowings was down $5 thousand in the first quarter 2018 over the same time frame in 2017.

Overall, net interest spread for the first quarter 2018 is higher than last year and the same as last quarter. As the following chart illustrates, higher yields on interest and dividend income did offset the higher interest expense in the most recent quarter when comparing to the same period a year ago or to the previous quarter. Interest expense for the quarter as compared to last quarter increased by $101 thousand.

Fourth quarter 2017 recorded an asset yield of 4.24% for the quarter with cost of funds at 0.71%. Net interest spread and margin for fourth quarter 2017 were identical at 3.53% and 3.72% to current quarter shown below.

	3/31/2018			3/31/2017			12/31/2017
Interest/Dividend income/yield		4.28	%		3.98	%		4.24	%
Interest Expense / yield		0.75	%		0.65	%		0.71	%
Net Interest Spread		3.53	%		3.33	%		3.53	%
Net Interest Margin		3.72	%		3.50	%		3.72	%

Net interest income was up $1.1 million for the first quarter 2018 over the same time frame in 2017 due to the increase in loan interest income and partially offset by higher interest expense, as previously mentioned. There has also been a $167 thousand increase in net interest income over fourth quarter 2017. As the new loans added in 2017 and 2018 generate more income, management expects the benefits of the Company’s strategy of repositioning the balance sheet to continue to widen this margin as measured in dollars.

The discussion will now be separated into two distinct quarter discussions –first quarter comparisons and the two most recent quarter comparisons.

Comparison of Noninterest Results of Operations – First Quarter 2018 to First Quarter 2017

Provision Expense

The ALLL has a direct impact on the provision expense. The increase in the ALLL is funded through recoveries and provision expense. The following tables both deal with the allowance for credit losses. The first table breaks down the activity within ALLL for each loan portfolio class and shows the contribution provided by both the recoveries and the provision along with the reduction of the allowance caused by charge-offs. The second table discloses how much of the ALLL is attributed to each class of the loan portfolio, as well as the percent that each particular class of the loan portfolio represents to the entire loan portfolio in the aggregate. The consumer and consumer real estate loan portfolio accounted for the largest component of charge-offs and recoveries for first quarter of 2018 and 2017. As was mentioned in previous discussion, the commercial real estate portfolio is currently creating a large impact on the ALLL due to the loan growth.

Total provision for loan losses was $33 thousand lower for the first quarter 2018 as compared to the same quarter 2017. Management continues to monitor asset quality, making adjustments to the provision as necessary. Loan charge-offs were $101 thousand higher in first quarter 2018 than the same quarter 2017, recoveries were $37 thousand in both periods. Combined net charge-offs were $101 thousand higher in first quarter 2018 than the same time period 2017. Past due loans decreased $1.7 million from March 31, 2017 as compared to March 31, 2018. The majority of the change is attributed to the decrease of past due balances in the consumer real estate, agricultural real estate and commercial real estate portfolios while the commercial and industrial increased.

The following table breaks down the activity within the ALLL for each loan portfolio class and shows the contribution provided by both recoveries and the provision, along with the reduction of the allowance caused by charge-offs. The time period covered is for three months ended March 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016.

* Nonperforming loans are defined as all loans on nonaccrual, plus any loans past 90 days not on nonaccrual.

The Bank uses the following guidelines as stated in policy to determine when to realize acharge-off of a loan, whether partial loan balance or full loan balance. A charge down in whole or in part is realized when unsecured consumer loans, credit card credits and overdraft lines of credit reach 90 days delinquency. At 120 days delinquent, secured consumer loans are charged down to the value of the collateral, if repossession of the collateral is assured and/or in the process of repossession. Consumer mortgage loan deficiencies are charged down upon the sale of the collateral or sooner upon the recognition of collateral deficiency. Commercial and agricultural credits are charged down at 120 days delinquency, unless an established and approvedwork-out plan is in place or litigation of the credit will likely result in recovery of the loan balance. Upon notification of bankruptcy, unsecured debt is charged off. Additional charge-offs may be realized as further unsecured positions are recognized.

Loans classified as nonaccrual were lower as of March 31, 2018 at $900 thousand as compared to $1.4 million as of March 31, 2017.

In determining the allocation for impaired loans the Bank applies the appraised market value of the collateral securing the asset, reduced by applying a discount for estimated costs of collateral liquidation. In some instances where the discounted market value is less than the loan amount, a specific impairment allocation is assigned, which may be reduced or eliminated by the write down of the credit’s active principal outstanding balance.

For the majority of the Bank’s impaired loans, including all collateral dependent loans, the Bank will apply the appraised market value methodology. However, the Bank may also utilize a measurement incorporating the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate of interest. To determine appraised market value, collateral asset values securing an impaired loan are periodically evaluated. Maximum time ofre-evaluation is every 12 months for chattels and titled vehicles and every two years for real estate. In this process, third party evaluations are obtained and heavily relied upon. Until such time that updated appraisals are received, the Bank may discount the collateral value used.

The following table presents the balances for allowance of loan losses by loan type for three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was up $26 thousand for the first quarter 2018 over the same time frame in 2017. The Company has seen a decrease in its mortgage production volume and as a result the gain on the sale of these loans was $69 thousand lower for the first quarter 2018 over the same period in 2017. Loan originations on loans held for sale for the first quarter 2018 were $11.6 million with proceeds from sale at $10 million for 2018 which was less than 2017’s first quarter activity of $14.4 million in originations and $16.3 million in sales. The net result of the activity was 2018 had $69 thousand less revenue on gain of sale on the quarter. The Company was able to better take advantage of market fluctuations in itsavailable-for-sale portfolio and sales on securities in first quarter 2017 than first quarter 2018. The gain was $31 thousand lower in the most recent quarter than the same quarter prior year. The next largest fluctuation in noninterest income was in the combined service fee lines, which was $126 thousand higher than the same quarter last year.

The impact of mortgage servicing rights, both to income and expense, is shown in the following table which reconciles the value of mortgage servicing rights. The capitalization runs through noninterest income while the amortization thereof is included innon-interest expense. For the first quarter of 2018, mortgage servicing rights caused a net $14 thousand in income, in comparison to a net $17 thousand income for the first quarter of 2017. The slightly lower capitalized additions for 2018 are attributed to a lower loan origination level of1-4 families combined with a higher mortgage servicing rights value being applied to originations of1-4 families in 2018 as compared to 2017. For loans of 15 years and less, the value was .972% in the first quarter 2018 versus .647% in first quarter 2017. For loans over 15 years, the value was 1.168% versus .929% for the same periods respectively. The carrying value is well below the market value of $3.1 million which indicates any large expense to fund the valuation allowance to be unlikely in 2018.

Noninterest Expense

For the first quarter 2018, noninterest expenses were $569 thousand higher than for the same quarter in 2017. Salaries, wages, and employee benefits increased $523 thousand, with the addition of the Huntertown, Bowling Green and Findlay offices, along with normal merit increases. Furniture and equipment expenses increased $35 thousand from the prior year due to an increase in depreciation and maintenance contracts. Data processing charges increased just $20 thousand for first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017. General and administrative expenses were down $37 thousand compared to first quarter 2017 with no one item noteworthy.

Results overall, net income in the first quarter of 2018 was up $928 thousand as compared to the same quarter last year. The Company has done an exceptional job of growing loans while keeping past dues low. The Company remains strong, stable, and well capitalized and has the capacity to continue to cover the increased costs of expansion and doing business in a less than robust economy.

Comparison of Noninterest Results of Operations – First Quarter 2018 to Fourth Quarter 2017

Provision Expense

Total provision for loan losses was $15 thousand higher for first quarter 2018 than for fourth quarter 2017. Loan growth continued in the first quarter, in addition to strong asset quality. The strong asset quality and low net charge-offs offset any need for additional provision above the $40 thousand that was expensed. Since the fourth quarter 2017, past due loans have decreased by $381 thousand. Though, net charge-offs were higher at $108 thousand for first quarter 2018 compared to fourth quarter 2017’s $28 thousand.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter 2018 was lower than the fourth quarter by $133 thousand. The decrease is attributed to lower total service fees and charges of $54 thousand along with a decrease in net gain on sale of loans of $79 thousand.

Noninterest Expense

For the first quarter 2018, noninterest expenses were $435 thousand higher than in fourth quarter 2017. Mortgage servicing rights amortization was $2 thousand lower than last quarter. Salaries and wages increased by $71 thousand from the previous quarter. Employee benefits increased by $149 thousand over the previous quarter due largely to increased medical claims. Furniture and equipment expenditures increased by $105 thousand largely due to depreciation.

Net occupancy expenses increased from the previous quarter by $119 thousand. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in building depreciation of $101 thousand over fourth quarter 2017.

General and administrative was down by $47 thousand over fourth quarter; however, the Company has seen increased cost resulting from Bancorp stock activity.

Net Income

Overall, net income for the first quarter of 2018 was higher by $331 thousand as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The growth in loans has spurred the large increase in net interest income that has flowed through to the bottom line. The opening of the new offices may create a slight drag in the short run; however, the Company remains focused on the long term.

The Company continues to look for new opportunities to generate and protect revenue and provide additional channels through which to serve our customers and maintain our high level of customer satisfaction.

ITEM 3 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates and equity prices. The primary market risk to which the Company is subject is interest rate risk. The majority of our interest rate risk arises from the instruments, positions and transactions entered into for purposes other than trading such as loans, available for sale securities, interest bearing deposits, short term borrowings and long term borrowings. Interest rate risk occurs when interest bearing assets and liabilitiesre-price at different times as market interest rates change. For example, if fixed rate assets are funded with variable rate debt, the spread between asset and liability rates will decline or turn negative if rates increase.

Interest rate risk is managed within an overall asset/liability framework. The principal objectives of asset/liability management are to manage sensitivity of net interest spreads and net income to potential changes in interest rates.

Funding positions are kept within predetermined limits designed to ensure that risk-taking is not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed. In the event that our asset/liabilities management strategies are unsuccessful, our profitably may be adversely affected. The Company employs a sensitivity analysis utilizing interest rate shocks to help in this analysis.

The shocks presented below assume an immediate change of rate in the percentages and directions shown covering a twelve month period:

Interest Rate Shock on Net Interest Margin					Interest Rate Shock on Net Interest Income
Net Interest Margin (Ratio)		% Change to Flat Rate	Rate Direction	Rate Changes by	Cumulative Total ($000)	% Change to Flat Rate
	4.30%	14.64%	Rising	3.00%	46,260	11.61%
	4.06%	8.22%	Rising	2.00%	44,175	6.58%
	3.81%	1.71%	Rising	1.00%	42,136	1.66%
	3.75%	0.00%	Flat	0.00%	41,447	0.00%
	3.45%	-7.97%	Falling	-1.00%	38,963	-5.99%
	3.22%	-14.08%	Falling	-2.00%	37,151	-10.37%
	2.99%	-20.24%	Falling	-3.00%	35,403	-14.58%

The net interest margin represents the forecasted twelve month margin. The Company also reviews shocks with a 4.0% fluctuation with a delayed time frame of 10 months and over a 24 month time frame. It also shows the effect rate changes will have on both the margin and net interest income. The goal of the Company is to lengthen the term of some of the Bank’s fixed rate liabilities or sources of funds to decrease the exposure to a rising rate environment. Of course, customer desires also impact the Bank’s ability to attract longer term deposits. Some movement into the longer term time deposits has occurred. Over the past five year period, the Bank has experienced a decrease in the time balances of our deposit portfolio, and therefore, a loss of term funding. Over the past two years, the Bank has also paid off term borrowings with the last $5 million maturing this year.

The shock chart currently shows a widening net interest margin over the next twelve months in an increasing rate environment with a tightening in a falling rate environment. Cost of funds are below 0.75% so at even the lowest shock of 100 basis points, the Bank cannot take full advantage and reprice funds to match the level of shock. Since the average duration of the majority of the assets is outside the 12 month shock period, the rising rate environment only shows minor improvement. The majority of the newer loans added to the commercial real estate portfolio begin with an initial fixed rate period of three to five years whose variable adjustment is outside of the current shock time frame. The Bank continues to adjust its assumptions by including decay rates and key rate ties on certain deposit accounts and continues to review and modify those rates as the index rates change. All shocks are within risk exposure guidelines at all levels. The effect of the rate shocks may be mitigated to the extent that not all lines of business are directly tied to an external index and actual balance sheet composition may differ from prediction.

Overall, the Company must concentrate on increasing loan spreads on variable loans and extend the duration on cost of funds where possible.
