Management and the Board of Directors review and approve these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, and non-performing Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. The Company’s management examines past, current and occasionally projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers; however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed, other business assets such as accounts receivable, or inventory and usually incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans are largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner With respect to loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner Construction and land development loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed on-site The Company originates consumer loans utilizing a judgmental underwriting process. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed, jointly by line and staff personnel. This activity, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk. The Company maintains a credit department that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. The Company engages an outside firm on an annual basis to provide a third party review of the commercial loan portfolio. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review processes complement and reinforce the risk identification, assessment decisions made by lenders, and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures. Loans serviced for others approximated $86.0 million and $85.9 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Concentrations of Credit Nearly all of the Company’s lending activity occurs within the state of Ohio, including the four (4) counties of Holmes, Stark, Tuscarawas, and Wayne, as well as other markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial, industrial, and commercial real estate loans. As of March 31, 2017, there were four business segment concentrations of credit. Loan balances as a percentage of capital included: $42 million, or 69%, to lessors of non-residential buildings, $25 million, or 41%, to logging and sawmill operations, $22 million, or 36%, to borrowers in the hotel, motel and lodging business, and $19 million, or 32%, to lessors of residential buildings at March 31, 2017. Allowance for Loan Losses The following tables detail activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories. The change in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to commercial loans was primarily due to the decrease in the specific allocation related to one commercial relationship, as well as the recovery of prior loan charge-offs. The increase in the provision for loan losses related to commercial real estate loans was due to the increase of nonaccrual loans in this category, as well as the increase in volume of loans. The changes in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to commercial and industrial loans were primarily due to the increase in a specific reserve amount for one commercial relationship as well as the increase in loan volume. The decrease in the provision related to commercial real estate loans was primarily due to a recovery of a prior charge-off (Dollars in thousands) Commercial Commercial Real Estate Residential Real Estate Construction & Land Development Consumer Unallocated Total Three months ended March 31, 2017 Beginning balance $ 2,207 $ 1,264 $ 1,189 $ 178 $ 141 $ 312 $ 5,291 (Credit) provision for loan losses (831 ) 274 114 6 29 248 (160 ) Charge-offs (8 ) — — — (5 ) (13 ) Recoveries 336 — — — — 336 Net recoveries (charge-offs) 328 — — — (5 ) 323 Ending balance $ 1,704 $ 1,538 $ 1,303 $ 184 $ 165 $ 560 $ 5,454 Three months ended March 31, 2016 Beginning balance $ 1,664 $ 1,271 $ 1,086 $ 123 $ 86 $ 432 $ 4,662 (Credit) provision for loan losses 394 (228 ) (4 ) (17 ) 8 11 164 Charge-offs (9 ) — — — (1 ) (10 ) Recoveries 4 182 2 — 1 189 Net recoveries (charge-offs) (5 ) 182 2 — — 179 Ending balance $ 2,053 $ 1,225 $ 1,084 $ 106 $ 94 $ 443 $ 5,005 The following table presents the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the ending loan balances by portfolio class and based on the impairment method as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: (Dollars in thousands) Commercial Commercial Real Estate Residential Real Estate Construction Consumer Unallocated Total March 31, 2017 Allowance for loan losses: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 51 $ — $ 25 $ — $ — $ — $ 76 Collectively evaluated for impairment 1,653 1,538 1,278 184 165 560 5,378 Total ending allowance balance $ 1,704 $ 1,538 $ 1,303 $ 184 $ 165 $ 560 $ 5,454 Loans: Loans individually evaluated for impairment $ 2,000 $ 3,543 $ 1,520 $ — $ — $ 7,063 Loans collectively evaluated for impairment 130,455 163,660 147,487 16,996 14,528 473,126 Total ending loans balance $ 132,455 $ 167,203 $ 149,007 $ 16,996 $ 14,528 $ 480,189 December 31, 2016 Allowance for loan losses: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 705 $ — $ 24 $ — $ — $ — $ 729 Collectively evaluated for impairment 1,502 1,264 1,165 178 141 312 4,562 Total ending allowance balance $ 2,207 $ 1,264 $ 1,189 $ 178 $ 141 $ 312 $ 5,291 Loans: Loans individually evaluated for impairment $ 5,028 $ 621 $ 1,507 $ — $ — $ 7,156 Loans collectively evaluated for impairment 129,240 158,854 142,982 23,428 13,308 467,812 Total ending loans balance $ 134,268 $ 159,475 $ 144,489 $ 23,428 $ 13,308 $ 474,968 The following table presents loans individually evaluated for impairment by class of loans as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: (Dollars in thousands) Unpaid Principal Balance Recorded Investment with no Allowance Recorded Investment with Allowance Total Recorded Investment Related Allowance March 31, 2017 Commercial $ 2,084 $ 1,882 $ 121 $ 2,003 $ 51 Commercial real estate 3,435 3,522 20 3,542 — Residential real estate 1,727 1,056 465 1,521 25 Total impaired loans $ 7,246 $ 6,460 $ 606 $ 7,066 $ 76 December 31, 2016 Commercial $ 5,476 $ 1,690 $ 3,354 $ 5,044 $ 705 Commercial real estate 796 600 21 621 — Residential real estate 1,681 1,036 472 1,508 24 Total impaired loans $ 7,953 $ 3,326 $ 3,847 $ 7,173 $ 729 The following table presents the average recorded investment in impaired loans and related interest income recognized for the periods indicated.

Credit Quality Indicators The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes commercial loans with an outstanding balance greater than $300 thousand. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are either less than $300 thousand or are included in groups of homogeneous loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class is as follows as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016: (Dollars in thousands) Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Not Rated Total March 31, 2017 Commercial $ 115,363 $ 9,316 $ 6,767 $ — $ 1,009 $ 132,455 Commercial real estate 150,517 9,845 5,829 — 1,012 167,203 Residential real estate 213 — 55 — 148,739 149,007 Construction & land development 12,491 1,169 — — 3,336 16,996 Consumer — — — — 14,528 14,528 Total $ 278,584 $ 20,330 $ 12,651 $ — $ 168,624 $ 480,189 December 31, 2016 Commercial $ 116,739 $ 6,874 $ 9,704 $ — $ 951 $ 134,268 Commercial real estate 149,630 4,168 4,766 — 911 159,475 Residential real estate 216 — 175 — 144,098 144,489 Construction & land development 17,183 981 504 — 4,760 23,428 Consumer — — — — 13,308 13,308 Total $ 283,768 $ 12,023 $ 15,149 $ — $ 164,028 $ 474,968 The following table presents loans that are not rated by class of loans as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
