FRANKLIN FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Franklin Financial Services Corporation (the Corporation), and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Farmers and Merchants Trust Company of Chambersburg (the Bank) and Franklin Future Fund Inc. Farmers and Merchants Trust Company of Chambersburg is a commercial bank that has one wholly owned subsidiary, Franklin Financial Properties Corp. Franklin Financial Properties Corp. holds real estate assets that are leased by the Bank. Franklin Future Fund Inc. is a non-bank investment company. The activities of the non-bank entities aresubsidiary is not significant to the consolidated totals. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of March 31,September 30, 2020, and for all other periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated results of operations for the three-month and nine-month period ended March 31,September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and cash items with original maturities less than 90 days.

Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period end. A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share follows:

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2017-04, Goodwill (Topic 350)

Description

This guidance, among other things, removes step 2 of the goodwill impairment test thus eliminating the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Upon adoption of this standard, goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This may result in more or less impairment being recognized than under the current guidance. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017, applied prospectively.

Effective Date

January 1, 2020

Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Corporation early adopted the ASU in the fourth quarter of 2018 with the completion of the 2018 impairment analysis. The ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-14, Disclosure Framework (Topic 715): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans

Description

This ASU makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020; early adoption is permitted.

Effective Date

January 1, 2020

Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Corporation adopted the provisions of the ASU on January 1, 2020. As the ASU only revised disclosure requirements, it did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

Description

This standard requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model). Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. The ASU replaces the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities. The allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”), should be determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis. However, upon initial recognition, the allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price to determine the initial amortized cost basis. The subsequent accounting for PCD financial assets is the same expected loss model described above.

Effective Date

January 1, 2023

Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have formed an implementation team led by the Corporation's Risk Management function. The team is reviewing the requirements of the ASU and evaluating methods and models for implementation. The new standard will result in earlier recognition of additions to the allowance for loan losses and possibly a larger allowance for loan loss balance with a corresponding increase in the provision for loan losses in results of operations; however, the Corporation is continuing to evaluate the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. A third-party vendor has been selected to assist with the CECL calculations and the implementation process has started. The Corporation expects to be able to run the CECL model in test mode in 2020.2021.

ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326):Targeted Transition Relief

Description

This ASU allows entities to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. ASU 2019-05 has the same effective date as ASU 2016-13. On October 16,2019, FASB approved its August 2019 proposal to grant certain small public companies a delay in the effective date of ASU 2016-13. For the Corporation, the delay makes the ASU effective January 2023. Since the Corporation currently meets the SEC definition of a small reporting company, the delay will be applicationapplied to the Corporation. Early adoption is permitted.

Effective Date

January 1, 2023

Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Corporation will continue to review the ASU as part of its adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Impairment:

The AFS securities portfolio contained 105 securities with $76.5$91 million of temporarily impaired fair value and $2.3$1.0 million in unrealized losses at March 31,September 30, 2020. The total unrealized loss position has increased $647decreased $643 thousand since year-end 2019.

For securities with an unrealized loss, Management applies a systematic methodology in order to perform an assessment of the potential for other-than-temporary impairment. In the case of debt securities, investments considered for other-than-temporary impairment: (1) had a specified maturity or repricing date; (2) were generally expected to be redeemed at par,par; and (3) were expected to achieve a recovery in market value within a reasonable period of time. In addition, the Bank considers whether it intends to sell these securities or whether it will be forced to sell these securities before the earlier of amortized cost recovery or maturity. The impairment identified on debt securities and subject to assessment at March 31,September 30, 2020, was deemed to be temporary and required no further adjustments to the financial statements, unless otherwise noted.

The following table reflects temporary impairment in the AFS portfolio, aggregated by investment category, length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position and the number of securities in each category as of March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Note 5. Loans

The Bank reports its loan portfolio based on the primary collateral of the loan. It further classifies these loans by the primary purpose, either consumer or commercial. The Bank’s residential real estate loans include long-term loans to individuals and businesses secured by mortgages on the borrower’s real property and include home equity loans. Construction loans are made to finance the purchase of land and the construction of residential and commercial buildings thereon and are secured by mortgages on real estate. Commercial real estate loans include construction, owner and non-owner occupied properties and farm real estate. Commercial loans are made to businesses of various sizes for a variety of purposes including property, plant and equipment, working capital and loans to government municipalities. Commercial lending is concentrated in the Bank’s primary market, but also includes purchased loan participations. Consumer loans are comprised of installment loans and unsecured personal lines of credit.

Each class of loans involves a different kind of risk. However, risk factors such as changes in interest rates, general economic conditions and changes in collateral values are common across all classes. The risk of each loan class is presented below.

Residential Real Estate 1-4 familyFamily

The largest risk in residential real estate loans to retail customers is the borrower’s inability to repay the loan due to the loss of the primary source of income. The Bank attempts to mitigate this risk through prudent underwriting standards including employment history, current financial condition and credit history. These loans are generally owner occupied and serve as the borrower’s primary residence. Commercial purpose loans, secured by residential real estate, are usually dependent upon repayment from the rental income or other business purposes. These loans are generally non-owner occupied. In addition to the real estate collateral, these loans may have personal guarantees or UCC filings on other business assets. If a payment default occurs on a 1-4 family residential real estate loan, the collateral serves as a source of repayment, but may be subject to a change in value due to economic conditions.

910


Residential Real Estate Construction

This class includes loans to individuals for construction of a primary residence and tocontractors and developers to improve real estate and construct residential properties. Construction loans to individuals generally bear the same risk as 1-4 family residential loans. Additional risks may include cost overruns, delays in construction or contractor problems.

Loans to contractors and developers are primarily dependent on the sale of improved lots or finished homes for repayment. Risks associated with these loans include the borrower’s character and capacity to complete a development, the effect of economic conditions on the valuation of lots or homes, cost overruns, delays in construction or contractor problems. In addition to real estate collateral, these loans may have personal guarantees or UCC filings on other business assets, depending on the financial strength and experience of the developer. Real estate construction loans are monitored on a regular basis by either an independent third party or the responsible loan officer, depending on the size and complexity of the project. This monitoring process includes at a minimum, the submission of invoices or AIAAmerican Institute of Architects (AIA) documents detailing the cost incurred by the borrower, on-site inspections, and an authorizing signature for disbursement of funds.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate loans may be secured by various types of commercial property including retail space, office buildings, warehouses, hotels and motel, manufacturing facilities and, agricultural land.

Commercial real estate loans present a higher level of risk than residential real estate loans. Repayment of these loans is normally dependent on cash-flow generated by the operation of a business that utilizes the real estate. The successful operation of the business, and therefore repayment ability, may be affected by general economic conditions outside of the control of the operator. On most commercial real estate loans ongoing monitoring of cash flow and other financial performance indictors is completed annually through financial statement analysis. In addition, the value of the collateral may be negatively affected by economic conditions and may be insufficient to repay the loan in the event of default. In the event of foreclosure, commercial real estate may be more difficult to liquidate than residential real estate.

Commercial

Commercial loans are made for various business purposes to finance equipment, inventory, accounts receivables, and operating liquidity. These loans are generally secured by business assets or equipment, non-real estate collateral and/or personal guarantees.

Commercial loans present a higher level of credit risk than other loans because repayment ability is usually dependent on cash-flow from a business operation that can be affected by general economic conditions. On most Commercial loans ongoing monitoring of cash flow and other financial performance indictors at least annually through financial statement analysis. In the event of a default, collateral for these loans may be more difficult to liquidate, and the valuation of the collateral may decline more quickly than loans secured by other types of collateral.

Loans to governmental municipalities are also included in the Commercial class. These loans generally have less risk than C&ICommercial & Industrial (C&I) loans due to the taxing authority of the municipality and its ability to assess fees on services.

Consumer

These loans are made for a variety of reasons to consumers and include term loans and personal lines-of credit. The loans may be secured or unsecured. Repayment is primarily dependent on the income of the borrower and to a lesser extent the sale of collateral. The underwriting of these loans is based on the consumer’s ability and willingness to repay and is determined by the borrower’s employment history, current financial condition and credit background. Collateral for these loans, if any, usually depreciates quickly and therefore, may not be adequate to repay the loan if it is repossessed. Therefore, the overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and wages, will have an effect on the credit quality in this loan class.

Note 7. Leases

The Corporation leases various assets in the course of its operations that are subject to recognition on the balance sheet. The Corporation considers all of its leases to be operating leases and it has no finance leases. The leased assets are comprised of equipment, and buildings and land (collectively real estate). The equipment leases are shorter-term than the real estate leases, and generally have a fixed payment over a defined term without renewal options. Certain equipment leases have purchase options and it was determined the option was not reasonably certain to be exercised. The real estate leases are longer-term and may contain renewal options after the initial term, but none of the real estate leases contain a purchase option. The renewal options on real estate leases were reviewed and if it was determined the option was reasonably certain to be renewed, the option term was considered in the determination of the lease liability. There is only one real estate lease with a variable payment based on an index included in the lease liability. None of the leases contain any restrictive covenants and there are no significant leases that have not yet commenced. The discount rate used to determine the lease liability is based on the Bank’s fully secured borrowing rate from the Federal Home Loan Bank for a term similar to the lease term. Operating lease expense is included in net occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates maybe different than the amounts reported at each year-end. The Corporation uses the exit price notion to measure the fair value of financial instruments.

20


FASB ASC Topic 820, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including those financial assets and liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring and

17


nonrecurring basis. The Corporation does not report any nonfinancial assets at fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

Level 1: Valuation is based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. There may be substantial differences in the assumptions used for securities within the same level. For example, prices for U.S. Agency securities have fewer assumptions and are closer to level 1 valuations than the private label mortgage backed securities that require more assumptions and are closer to level 3 valuations.

Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Corporation’s assumptions regarding what market participants would assume when pricing a financial instrument.

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following information regarding the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

Equity Securities: Equity securities are valued using quoted market prices from nationally recognized markets (Level 1). Equity securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investment securities: Fair values of investment securities available-for-sale were primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data from market research publications. Level 2 investment securities are primarily comprised of debt securities issued by states and municipalities, corporations, mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies, and government-sponsored enterprises. Fair values were estimated primarily by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or through the use of pricing models. Investment securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser, less cost to sell. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach (Level 2). If the appraiser makes an adjustment to account for differences between the comparable sales and income data available for similar loans, or if management adjusts the appraised value, then the fair value is considered Level 3. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the allowance policy. NaN partial charge-offs on impaired loans were taken in the firstthird quarter of 2020. Impaired loans are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Note 12. Subordinated Notes

At September 30, 2020, the Corporation had $20 million of unsecured subordinated debt notes payable, $15.0 million which mature on September 1, 2030 and $5.0 million which mature on September 1, 2035. The notes are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet net of remaining debt issuance costs totaling $452.9 thousand at September 30, 2020, which is being amortized on a pro-rata basis over a 5-year and 10-year period, based on the call dates of the notes, on an effective interest method. The subordinated notes totaling $15.0 million have a fixed interest rate of 5.00% through September 1, 2025, then convert to a variable rate of 90-day Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 4.93% for the applicable interest periods through maturity. The subordinated notes totaling $5.0 million have a fixed interest rate of 5.25% through September 1, 2030, then convert to a variable rate of 90-day SOFR plus 4.92% for the applicable interest periods through maturity. The Corporation may, at its option, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time 5-years prior to the maturity. The notes are structured to qualify as Tier 2 Capital for the Corporation and there are no debt covenants on the notes.

Note 13. Capital Ratios

Capital adequacy for the Bank is currently defined by regulatory agencies through the use of several minimum required ratios. The capital ratios to be considered “well capitalized” are: (1) Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) of 6.5%, (2) Tier 1 Leverage of 5%, (3) Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital of 8%, and (4) Total Risk-Based Capital of 10%. In addition, a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% is applicable to all of the capital ratios except for the Tier 1 Leverage ratio. The capital conservation buffer is equal to the lowest value of the three applicable capital ratios less the regulatory minimum for each respective capital measurement. The Bank’s capital conservation buffer at March 31,September 30, 2020 was 7.78% (total risk-based capital 15.78% less 8.00%)7.25% compared to the 2020 regulatory buffer of 2.50%. Compliance with the capital conservation buffer is required in order to avoid limitations to certain capital distributions and is in addition to the minimum required capital requirements. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank was “well capitalized”.

In 2019, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) was approved by federal banking agencies as an optional capital measure available to Qualifying Community Banking Organizations (QCBO). If a bank qualifies as a QCBR and maintains a CBLR of 9% or greater, the bank would be considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory capital purposes and exempt from complying with the risk-based capital rule described above. The CBLR rule took effect January 1, 2020 and banks desiring tocould opt-in can do so through an election in the first quarter 2020 regulatory filing. The Bank meetsmet the criteria of a QCBR but did not opt-in to the CBLR.

The Bank is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)PPP and the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) to fund PPP Loans. In accordance with regulatory guidance, PPP loans pledged as collateral for PPPLF, and PPPLF advances, are excluded from leverage capital ratios. PPP loans will also carry a 0% risk-weight for risk-based capital rules.

The consolidated asset limit on small bank holding companies is $3 billion and a company with assets under that limit is not subject to the consolidated capital rules but may file reports that include capital amounts and ratios. The Corporation has elected to file those reports.

Note 13.14. Revenue Recognition

All of the Corporation’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income as presented in ourits consolidated statements of income. Revenue generating activities that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are described as follows:

Investment and Trust Service Fees - these represent fees from wealth management (assets under management), fees from the management and settlement of estates and commissions from the sale of investment and insurance products.

Asset management fees are generally assessed based on a tiered fee schedule, based on the value of assets under management, and are recognized monthly when the service obligation is completed. Fees recognized were $1.3 million for the firstthird quarter of 2020 and 2019 and $4.2 million year-to-date for 2020, compared to $4.1 million in 2019.

Fees for estate management services are based on the estimated fair value of the estate. These fees are generally recognized monthly over an 18-month period that Management has determined to represent the average time to fulfill the performance obligations of the contract. Management has the discretion to adjust this time period as needed based upon the nature and complexity of an individual estate. Fees recognized were $33$45 thousand for the firstthird quarter of 2020, compared to $70$105 thousand for the firstthird quarter of 2019 and $118 thousand year-to-date in 2020, compared to $259 thousand year-to-date in 2019.

Commissions from the sale of investment and insurance products are recognized upon the completion of the transaction. Commissions recognized were $74$39 thousand for the firstthird quarter of 2020, and $68compared to $42 thousand for the third quarter 2019 and $162 thousand year-to-date for 2020, compared to $177 year-to-date in 2019.

Loan Service Charges – these represent fees on loans for services or charges that occur after the loan has been booked, for example, late payment fees. These also include fees for mortgages settled for third-party mortgage companies. All of these fees are transactional in nature and are recognized upon completion of the transaction which represents the performance obligation.

Deposit Service Charges and Fees – these represent fees from deposit customers for transaction based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction based fees include, but are not limited to, stop payment fees and overdraft fees. These fees are recognized at the time of the transaction when the performance obligation has been fulfilled. Account maintenance fees and account analysis fee are earned over the course of a month, representing the period of the performance obligation, and are recognized monthly.

Debit Card Income – this represents interchange fees from cardholder transactions conducted through the card payment network. Cardholders use the debit card to conduct point-of-sale transactions that produce interchange fees. The

21


fees are transaction based and the fee is recognized with the processing of the transaction. These fees are reported net of cardholder rewards.

Other Service Charges and Fees – these are comprised primarily of merchant card fees, credit card fees, ATM surcharges and interchange fees and wire transfer fees. Merchant card fees represent fees the Bank earns from a third party for enrolling a customer in the processor’s program. Credit card fees represent a fee earned by the Bank for a successful referral to a card-issuing company. ATM surcharges and interchange fees are the result of Bank customers conducting ATM transactions that generate fee income and are processed through multiple card networks. All of these fees are transaction based and are recognized at the time of the transaction.

Gains/Losses on the Sale of Other Real Estate – these are recognized when control of the property transfers to the buyer.

Increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance and security transactions are not within the scope of ASC 606.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into longer-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances.

Contract Acquisition Costs

The Corporation expenses all contract acquisition costs as costs are incurred.

1Note 14.15. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to financial instruments that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements and are commonly referred to as off-balance-sheet instruments. These financial instruments are entered into primarily to meet the financing needs of the Bank’s customers and include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The Bank had the following outstanding commitments for the periods presented:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses with the exception of home equity lines and personal lines of credit and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank, is based on Management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral for most commercial commitments varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Collateral for secured consumer commitments consists of liens on residential real estate.

22


Standby letters of credit are instruments issued by the Bank, which guarantee the beneficiary payment by the Bank in the event of default by the Bank’s customer in the nonperformance of an obligation or service. Most standby letters of credit are extended for one-year periods. Generally, the credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary primarily in the form of certificates of deposit and liens on real estate. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. AsIn the second quarter of June 30, 2018, the Bank established a $2.4 million allowance against letters of credit issued in connection with a commercial borrower that declared bankruptcy. In the first quarter of 2020, the Bank reversed $250 thousand of this reserve as one letter of credit was cancelled. At March 31,September 30, 2020 this reserve was $2.1 million. Except for the liability recorded for standby letters of credit, liabilities for credit loss associated with off-balance sheet commitments were not material at March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Most of the Bank’s business activity is with customers located within its primary market and does not involve any significant concentrations of credit to any one entity or industry.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of the Corporation’s business generates a certain amount of litigation.

We establishThe Corporation establishes accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When we arethe Corporation is able to do so, weit also determinedetermines estimates of possible losses, whether in excess of any accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability.

These assessments are based on ourthe analysis of currently available information and are subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and uncertainties. As new information is obtained, wethe Corporation may change ourits assessments and, as a result, take or adjust the amounts of ourits accruals and change ourits estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and the unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts that may be accrued or included in estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses may not represent the actual loss to the Corporation from any legal proceeding. OurIts exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, possibly significantly higher, than amounts weit may accrue or amounts weit may estimate.

In management’s opinion, we dothe Corporation does not anticipate, at the present time, that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of all litigation to which the Corporation is a party at this time will have a material adverse effect on ourits financial position. WeThe Corporation cannot now determine, however, whether or not any claim asserted against usit will have a material adverse effect on ourits results of operations in any future reporting period, which will depend on, amountamong other things, the amount of loss resulting from the claim and the amount of income otherwise reported for the reporting period. Thus, at March 31,September 30, 2020, we arethe Corporation is unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss with respect to such other matters and, accordingly, have not yet established any specific accrual for such other matters.

No material proceedings are pending or are known to be threatened or contemplated against usthe Corporation by governmental authorities.

Note 15.16. Risk Factors

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has spread around the world, with resulting business and social disruption. The coronavirus was declared a Pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The operations and business results of the Corporation could be materially adversely affected. The ability of our customers to make payments on loans could be adversely impacted, resulting in elevated loan losses and an increase in the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses. Additionally, it is reasonably possible future evaluations of the carrying amount of goodwill could result in a conclusion that goodwill is impaired. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact business activity or investment results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

Note 16.17. Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect reportedprior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

GAAP versus non-GAAP Presentations – The Corporation supplements its traditional GAAP measurements with certain non-GAAP measurements to evaluate its performance and to eliminate the effect of intangible assets.  By eliminating intangible assets (Goodwill), the Corporation believes it presents a measurement that is comparable to companies that have no intangible assets or to companies that have eliminated intangible assets in similar calculations. However, not all companies may use the same calculation method for each measurement. The non-GAAP measurements are not intended to be used as a substitute for the related GAAP measurements. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the event of such a disclosure or release, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G requires: (i) the presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and (ii) a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure presented and the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The following table shows the calculation of the non-GAAP measurements.

Net Interest Income

The largest source of the Corporation’s earnings is net interest income, which is defined as the difference between income on interest-earning assets and the expense of interest-bearing liabilities supporting those assets. Principal categories of interest-earning assets are loans and securities, while deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt are the principal categories of interest-bearing liabilities. Demand deposits enhance net interest income because they are noninterest-bearing deposits. For the purpose of this discussion, balance sheet items refer to the average balance for the year and net interest income is adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis. This tax-equivalent adjustment facilitates performance comparisons between taxable and tax-free assets by increasing the tax-free income by an amount equivalent to the Federal income taxes that would have been paid if this income were taxable at the Corporation’s 21% Federal statutory rate.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the first quarter,nine months of 2020, the Corporation recorded a Federal income tax benefit of $106$548 thousand compared to a tax expense of $446 thousand$2.1 million for the same quarterperiod in 2019. The Corporation recorded an income tax benefit of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. This benefit was available due to the passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) in March 2020. The CARES Act allows for net operating losses (NOL) incurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to be carried back to offset taxable income earned during the five-year period prior to the year in which the NOL was incurred. The Corporation incurred an NOL in 2018 that it was able to carryback to prior periods when the statutory rate for the Corporation was 34% as compared to the current rate of 21%. The effective tax rate for the first quarternine months of 2020 was (6.5)%7.3% (excluding the NOL benefit), compared to 12.1%15.2% for the same quarterperiod in 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to lower pre-tax income offset by tax-free income. The federal statutory tax rate is 21% for 2020 and 2019.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $53.4$71.2 million at March 31,September 30, 2020, a decrease of $30.5$12.7 million from the prior year-end balance of $83.8 million. The decrease was mainly due to lower interest-bearing balances at the Federal Reserve fromdue to purchases in the investment portfolio. Interest-bearing deposits are held primarily at the Federal Reserve ($36.9 million) and in short-term bank-owned certificates of deposit ($3.553.7 million).

Investment Securities:

AFS Securities: The AFS securities portfolio has increased $18.5$149.7 million on a cost basis, since year-end 2019. The composition2019 with the majority of the increase occurring in the municipal bond portfolio. The portfolio has remained consistent withis comprised primarily municipal securities and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities comprising the greatest portion of the portfolio at approximately 47%64% and 34%19% of the portfolio fair value, respectively. The average life of the portfolio was 5.97.36 years.

The AFS securities portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $2.3$9.5 million at March 31,September 30, 2020 compared to a net unrealized gain of $234 thousand at the prior year-end. The portfolio averaged $196.2$252.6 million with a yield of 2.63%2.41% for the first threenine months of 2020. This compares to an average of $133.5$132.2 million and a yield of 2.95%2.89% for the same period in 2019.

The municipal bond portfolio is well diversified geographically (108(208 issuers) and is comprised primarily of general obligation bonds (61%(62%). Many municipal bonds have credit enhancements in the form of private bond insurance or other credit support. The largest geographic municipal bond exposure is in the states of Texas (13%), California (13%(12%), and Michigan (6%Pennsylvania (9%). The average rating of the municipal portfolio from Moody’s is AA. No municipal bonds are rated below investment grade.

The unrealized loss in the municipal bond portfolio decreased to $242$270 thousand from $997 thousand at December 31, 2019. There are twenty-twothirty-seven securities in this portfolio with an unrealized loss and the loss in this portfolio is deemed to be non-credit related and no other-than-temporary impairment charges have been recorded.

The trust preferredpreferred/corporate portfolio contains fiveis comprised of 5 variable rate bank issued trust preferred securities with a fair value of $3.5$3.9 million and 15 fixed rate bank issued subordinated notes with a fair value of $6.8 million. This portfolio has an unrealized loss of $556 thousand.$223 thousand on nine securities with a fair value of $5.9 million. The trust-preferred securities held by the Bank are single entity issues, not pooled trust preferred securities. Therefore, the impairment review of these securities is based only on the issuer and the security cannot be impaired by the performance of other issuers as if it was a pooled trust-preferred bond. All of the Bank’s trust preferred securities are single issue, variable rate notes with long maturities (2027–2028). None of these issuers have suspended or missed a dividend or interest payment. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank believes it will be able to collect all interest and principal due on these bonds and no other-than-temporary-impairment charges were recorded.

The unrealized loss in the Asset-backedasset-backed securities portfolio increased $731$142 thousand from December 31, 2019.  This sector had the largest unrealized loss of $1.0 million, 44.4%$447 thousand, 42.9% of the total unrealized losses ($2.31 million).   FFELP (Federal Family Education Loan Program) bonds make up the majority of this sector and have a 97% guarantee from the US Department of Education.   The FFELP bonds are all rated AAA.  Management fully expects to be paid back at par and no other-than-temporary impairment charges have been recorded.

Equity securities at Fair Value:
The Corporation owns one equity investment. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, this investment was reported at fair value of $313 thousand and $440 thousand, respectively, with changes in value reported through income.

37


Restricted Stock at Cost: The Bank held $465$468 thousand of restricted stock at March 31,September 30, 2020. Except for $30 thousand, this investment represents stock in FHLB Pittsburgh. The Bank is required to hold this stock to be a member of FHLB and it is carried at cost of $100 per share. The level of FHLB stock held is determined by FHLB and is comprised of a minimum membership amount plus a variable activity amount. FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment primarily based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost. As a government sponsored entity, FHLB has the ability to raise funding through the U.S. Treasury that can be used to support its operations. There is not a public market for FHLB stock and the benefits of FHLB membership (e.g., liquidity and low-cost funding) add value to the stock beyond purely financial measures. Management intends to remain a member of the FHLB and believes that it will be able to fully recover the cost basis of this investment.

Loans:

Residential real estate: This category is comprised of consumer purpose loans secured by residential real estate and to a lesser extent, commercial purpose loans secured by residential real estate. The consumer purpose category represents traditional residential mortgage loans and home equity products (primarily junior liens and lines of credit). Commercial purpose loans in this category represent loans made for various business needs but are secured with residential real estate. In addition to the real estate collateral, it is possible that additional security is provided by personal guarantees or UCC filings. These loans are underwritten as commercial loans and are not originated to be sold.

30


Total residential real estate loans increased $3.4$9.8 million over year-end 2019, as the Bank retainedoriginated a higher percentagevolume of its originations.junior liens and lines of credit. For the first threenine months of 2020, the Bank originated $9.2$66.3 million and sold $8.5$58.8 million in mortgages for a fee through third party brokerage agreements. The Bank does not originate or hold any loans that would be considered sub-prime or Alt-A and does not generally originate mortgages outside of its primary market area.

Residential real estate construction: This category contains loans for the vertical construction of 1-4 family residential properties. The largest component of this category represents loans to residential real estate developers ($11.07.9 million), while loans for individuals to construct personal residences totaled $4.5$6.3 million at March 31,September 30, 2020. The Bank’s exposure to residential construction loans is concentrated primarily in south central Pennsylvania. Real estate construction loans, including residential real estate and land development loans, occasionally provide an interest reserve in order to assist the developer during the development stage when minimal cash flow is generated. All real estate construction loans are underwritten in the same manner, regardless of the use of an interest reserve.

Commercial real estate (CRE): This category includes commercial, industrial, farm and agricultural loans and land development loans, where real estate serves as the primary collateral for the loans. Total commercial real estate loans increased to $505.5 million from $494.3 million at the end of 2019, as originations largely kept pace with pay-downs. The largest sectors (by collateral) in the commercial real estate category are: hotels and motels ($72.3 million), land development ($60.6 million), office buildings ($54.6 million), manufacturing facility ($35.3 million) and shopping centers ($35.2 million). The majority of the Bank’s hotel exposure is located along the Interstate 81 (I-81) corridor through south-central Pennsylvania. The portfolio is comprised of properties operating under 17 flagged brands and 3 independent operators.

Also included in CRE are real estate construction loans totaling $92.3 million. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank had $17.1$24.4 million in real estate construction loans funded with an interest reserve and capitalized $222$673 thousand of interest in 2020 from these reserves on active projects for commercial construction. Real estate construction loans are monitored on a regular basis by either an independent third-party inspector or the assigned loan officer depending on loan amount or complexity of the project. This monitoring process includes at a minimum, the submission of invoices and AIA documents (depending on the complexity of the project) detailing costs incurred by the borrower, on-site inspections, and a signature by the assigned loan officer for disbursement of funds.

Commercial real estate (CRE): This category includes commercial, industrial, farm and agricultural loans and land development loans, where real estate serves as the primary collateral for the loans. Total commercial real estate loans remained flat at $494.1 million from $494.2 million at the end of 2019, as originations kept pace with pay-downs. The largest sectors (by collateral) in the commercial real estate category are: hotels and motels ($69.1 million), land development ($65.3 million), office buildings ($55.2 million), warehouse facilities ($31.9 million) and manufacturing facility ($31.7 million). The majority of the Bank’s hotel exposure is located along the Interstate 81 (I-81) corridor through south-central Pennsylvania. The portfolio is comprised of properties operating under 16 flagged brands, representing 10 hotel chains. Independent hotels represent only 4% of the hotel portfolio.

Commercial: This category includes commercial, industrial, farm, agricultural, and municipal loans. Commercial loans decreased $3.9increased $66.3 million to $226.1$296.3 million at March 31,September 30, 2020, compared to $230.0 million at the end of 2019, primarily due to paydowns.PPP originations. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank had approximately $138$150 million in tax-free loans in the commercial portfolio. The largest sectors (by industry) in the commercial category are: public administration ($69.959.9 million), utilities ($33.554.6 million), educational services ($22.822.1 million), real estate rental and leasing ($13.012.1 million) and finance and insurancemanufacturing ($12.210.9 million). The Bank expectsThis category also includes $63.4 million of PPP loans that commercial lending will continue to beare 100% guaranteed by the primary area of loan growth in the future via in-market lending.SBA.

Participations: The Bank may supplement its own commercial loan production by purchasing loan participations. These participations are primarily located in south-central Pennsylvania. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the outstanding commercial participations accounted for 6.4%6.8%, or $60.3$69.1 million, of total gross loans compared to 9.4% and $67.7 million at December 31, 2019. The Bank’s total exposure (including outstanding balances and unfunded commitments) to purchased participations is $75.7$84.6 million, compared to $84.0 million at December 31, 2019.

Loan Quality:

Management utilizes a risk rating scale ranging from 1-Prime to 9-Loss to evaluate loan quality. This risk rating scale is used primarily for commercial purpose loans. Consumer purpose loans are identified as either a pass or substandard rating based on the performance status of the loans. Substandard consumer loans are loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing. Loans rated 1 – 4 are considered pass credits. Loans rated 5 are pass credits but have been identified as credits that are likely to warrant additional attention and monitoring. Loans rated 6-Other Asset Especially Mentioned (OAEM) or worse begin to receive enhanced monitoring and reporting by the Bank. Loans rated 7-Substandard or 8-Doubtful exhibit the greatest financial weakness and present the greatest possible risk of loss to the Bank. Nonaccrual loans are rated no better than 7-Substandard. The following factors represent some of the factors used in determining the risk rating of a borrower: cash flow, debt coverage, liquidity, management, and collateral. Risk ratings, for pass credits, are generally reviewed annually for term debt and at renewal for revolving or renewing debt. The Bank monitors loan quality by reviewing three primary measurements: (1) loans rated 6-OAEM or worse (collectively “watch list”), (2) delinquent loans, and (3) net-charge-offs.,

Watch list loans exhibit financial weaknesses that increase the potential risk of default or loss to the Bank. However, inclusion on the watch list, does not by itself, mean a loss is certain. The watch list totaled $11.1$48.1 million at quarter end compared to $11.5 million at June 30, 2020 and $11.6 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in the watch list is the result of a $31.3 million increase in 6-rated loans and a $5.3 million increase in 7-rated loans. The increase in 6-rated loans is due primarily to $24.3 million in hotel loans being downgraded to a 6-rating. A $5.7 million hotel loan was placed on nonaccrual status in September and accounted for the increase in 7-rated loans, having been rated a 6 the prior quarter. This loan is listed as Credit 2 in the Significant Nonaccrual table presented in this section. The watch list includes both performing and nonperforming loans. Included in the substandard total are $3.7$9.1 million of nonaccrual loans. The credit composition of the watch list (loans rated 6, 7, or 8), by primary collateral is shown in Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements.

Delinquent loans are a result of borrowers’ cash flow and/or alternative sources of cash being insufficient to repay loans. The Bank’s likelihood of collateral liquidation to repay the loans becomes more probable the further behind a borrower falls, particularly when loans reach 90 days or more past due. Management monitors the performance status of loans by the use of an aging report. The aging report can provide an early indicator of loans that may become severely delinquent and possibly result in a loss to the Bank. See Note 6 in the accompanying financial statements for a table that presents the aging of payments in the loan portfolio.

Nonaccruing loans generally represent Management’s determination that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan in accordance with its contractual terms and that collateral liquidation may or may not fully repay both interest and principal. It is the Bank’s policy to evaluate the probable collectability of principal and interest due under terms of loan contracts for all loans 90-days or more past due, nonaccrual loans, or impaired loans. Further, it is the Bank’s policy to discontinue accruing interest on loans that are not adequately secured and in the process of collection. Upon determination of nonaccrual status, the Bank subtracts any current year accrued and unpaid interest from its income, and any prior year

32


accrued and unpaid interest from the allowance for loan losses. Management continually monitors the status of nonperforming loans, the value of any collateral and potential of risk of loss. Nonaccrual loans are rated no better than 7-Substandard.

The Bank’s Loan Management Committee reviews these loans and risk ratings on a quarterly basis in order to proactively identify and manage problem loans. In addition, a committee meets monthly to discuss possible workout strategies for and all credits rated 7-Substandard or worse. Management also tracks other commercial loan risk measurements including high loan to value loans, concentrations, participations and policy exceptions and reports these to the Credit Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors. The Bank also uses a third-party consultant to assist with internal loan review with a goal of reviewing 60%80% of commercial loans each year. The FDIC defines certain supervisory loan-to-value lending limits. The Bank’s internal loan–to-value limits are all equal to or have a lower loan-to-value limit than the supervisory limits. However, in certain instances, the Bank may make a loan that exceeds the supervisory loan-to-value limit. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank had loans of $22$22.6 million (2.4%(2.1% of gross loans) that exceeded the supervisory limit, compared to 2.69%2.6% at year-end 2019.

Loan quality, overall,as measured by nonperforming loans has remained stabledeclined during the firstthird quarter of 2020. Both2020 due to a $5.2 million increase in nonaccrual loans since year-end 2019 due to the addition of the new nonaccrual hotel loan previously discussed. Consequently, the non-performing loan ratio increased to 0.93% at September 30, 2020, from 0.42% at December 31, 2019.

Loans that have been modified on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were classified as current prior to any relief as outlined in the March 22, 2020 Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and loansReporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus or Section 4013 of the CARES Act do not need to be reported as past due 90 days or moreduring the period of the qualifying modification for short-term loan modifications (e.g. six months). Consequently, loan delinquencies and still accruing have declined slightly since year-end 2019.nonaccrual loans could continue to increase during the remainder of 2020 if modified loans are not able to return to a performing status.

In addition to monitoring nonaccrual loans, the Bank also closely monitors impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings (TDR). A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments due according to the originally contracted terms of the loan agreement. Nonaccrual loans (excluding consumer purpose loans) and TDR loans are considered impaired.

A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring if the creditor (the Bank), for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions may include lowering the rate, extending the maturity, re-amortization of the payment, or a combination of multiple concessions. The Bank reviews all loans rated 6-OAEM or worse when it is providing a loan restructure, modification or new credit facility to determine if the action is a TDR. If a TDR loan is placed on nonaccrual status, it remains on nonaccrual status for at least six months to ensure performance. Loans that have been modified on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were classified as current prior to any relief are not TDRs as outlined in the March 22, 2020 Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus orSection 4013 of the CARES Act. Loans may be modified under Section 4013 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency declared by the President.

In accordance with financial accounting standards, TDR loans are always considered impaired until they are paid off or in certain circumstances, refinanced. However, an impaired TDR loan can be a performing loan. Impaired loans decreasedtotaled $17.5 million compared to $12.0$12.3 million at quarter-end comparedthe prior quarter and to $12.2 million at year-end 2019. The previously mentioned $5.7 million nonaccrual hotel loan is included in the impaired loan total.

Pandemic Effect on Loan QualityQuality: The credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio as of March 31, 2020 is stable. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total gross loans is .40%. However, the pandemic, outbreakand governmental responses thereto, has the potential to affect the credit quality of the loan portfolio in future periods. The pandemic has resulted in certain federal, state and local governmental authorities taking action to stop the spread of the pandemic.pandemic or mitigate its impact. These actions have included stay-at-home orders, restrictions on business activity, and proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of the pandemic by restricting the movement of people, products and services in the economy. As a result of these actions, the economic activity of the Bank’s market area has been curtailed, businesses have been shut down and unemployment has dramatically increased. Many of these restrictions, to some level, remained in place at September 30, 2020. The repayment of every loan is dependent, in some way, on an efficiently functioning economy. Any action that has the effect of restricting economic activity has the potential to reduce cash flow available to repay loans. At this time, the length of this economic downturn is uncertain, as is the effect on the Bank’s loan portfolio.

As addressed below in See the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) section that follows for the effect of the pandemic on the ALL was increased by $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2020 based on higher risk factors in the qualitative allowance. In evaluating theand provision for loan portfolio, the most significant things considered were; loan deferrals or modifications, the Paycheck Protection Program, and composition of the portfolio by industry segments.loss expense.

Loan Deferrals. As the economy quickly contracted in March and April of 2020 as the result of the pandemic, the Bank began to receive requests for payment modifications. Unlike past economic downturns, bank regulators provided favorable guidance for banks allowing them wide latitude to make modifications. ThisUnder guidance allowedprovided by the CARES Act and a joint regulatory agency statement issued by banking agencies, banks could, under certain circumstances, banks to avoid reporting loan modifications as delinquent, nonperforming or as a trouble debt restructuring. As of AprilSeptember 30, 2020, the Bank has granted approximately $154$83 million loan deferrals or modifications (approximately 16%8% of gross loans). down from $196 million (19% of gross loans) as of the prior quarter-end. These modifications include the deferral of principal and interest payments, deferral of interest payments for interest only lines of credit or providing for an interest only payment. Any interest that is deferred is due and payable at the end of the deferral period. Principal that is deferred will be added to the end of the loan as an extension of the maturity date or as a balloon payment, depending on the loan structure. The Bank will continue to accrue interest during the deferral period. The majority of deferrals were for an initial period of 3 months.


months with the potential for second 3-month deferral after review. If a borrower requested a second deferral, the Bank required a review of updated financial reports and forecast prior to granting an additional deferral.

Paycheck Protection Program. The Bank participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The PPP is a small business loan program designed to assist in allowing small businesses to keep workers on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. When workers are kept on the payroll for the qualifying period, the loan could be forgiven if the small business incurs eligible expenses. The PPP loans, are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA, have a maturity of two-years and havefive-years with a fixed interest rate of 1% for the life of the loan. Borrowers of PPP loans do not have to make payments on the loan for the first six months, then it isand the loans will fully amortizingamortize for the remainder of the two-year term.two- or five-year terms. The SBA pays originating banks a processing fee ranging from 3% to 5% of the loan, depending on the loan balance. Thebalance and the Bank focused its efforts forwill recognize these fees in interest income over the first roundcontractual life (two or five years) of the loan. As PPP on its current customers and funded 90% of all approved applications it received for approximately $50.1 million. Theloans are granted forgiveness by the SBA, fee recognition will accelerate. At September 30, 2020 the Bank expects to receive fee income of approximately $2held $63.4 million of processing fees from PPP loans recognized over the second and third quarter$1.9 million of 2020. PPP fees remaining to be recognized. The PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, thereby presenting no credit risk to the Bank once the SBA guarantee is fulfilled, if necessary. However, the PPP loan is only designed to cover short-term operating needs of the borrower. If the economy does not recover quickly from the pandemic and the borrower experiences long-term operational problems beyond the PPP funding, the performance of other loans to these customers could begin to deteriorate. The Bank began to receive approval of PPP forgiveness from the SBA in October.

Industry Exposure. With the pandemic shut down of non-essential businesses and stay at home orders, nearly every business and industry has been affected. Certain businesses have had a complete stoppage of operations, while many others have seen their business significantly reduced. Some businesses have requested loan modifications and others have taken PPPThe Bank believes its greatest risk exposure to modified loans to continue operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses:

Management monitors loan performance on a monthly basis and performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (ALL).losses. The ALL is determined by segmenting the loan portfolio based on the loan’s collateral. When calculating the ALL, consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, historical charge-offs, the adequacy of the underlying collateral (if collateral dependent) and other relevant factors. The Bank begins enhanced monitoring of all loans rated 6-OAEM, or worse, and obtains a new appraisal or asset valuation for any placed on nonaccrual and rated 7-Substandard or worse. Management, at its discretion, may determine that additional adjustments to the appraisal or valuation are required. Valuation adjustments will be made as necessary based on factors, including, but not limited to; the economy, deferred maintenance, industry, type of property/equipment, age of the appraisal, etc. and the knowledge Management has about a particular situation. In addition, the cost to sell or liquidate the collateral is also estimated and deducted from the valuation in order to determine the net realizable value to the Bank. When determining the allowance for loan losses, certain factors involved in the evaluation are inherently subjective and require material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Management monitors the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on an ongoing basis and reports its adequacy quarterly to the Credit Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at March 31,September 30, 2020 is adequate.


44


The analysis for determining the ALL is consistent with guidance set forth in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The analysis has three components; specific, general and unallocated. The specific component addresses specific reserves established for impaired loans. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments due according to the originally contracted terms of the loan agreement. Collateral values discounted for market conditions and selling costs are used to establish specific allocations for impaired loans. However, it is possible that as a result of the credit analysis, a specific reserve is not required for an impaired loan. Commercial loans with a balance less than $250 thousand, and all consumer purpose loans are not included in the specific reserve analysis as impaired loans but are added to the general allocation pool. These loans totaled $412$411 thousand at March 31,September 30, 2020 and are comprised primarily of loans secured by residential real estate. Management does not believe that excluding these loans from the specific reserve analysis presents any additional risk. There was no specific reserve established for any of the impaired loans. Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements provides additional information about the ALL established for impaired loans.

The general allocation component addresses the reserves established for pools of homogenous loans. The general component includes a quantitative and qualitative analysis. When calculating the general allocation, the Bank segregates its loan portfolio into the following segments based primarily on the type of supporting collateral: residential real estate, commercial, industrial or agricultural real estate; commercial and industrial (C&I non-real estate), and consumer. Each segment may be further segregated by type of collateral, lien position, or owner/nonowner occupied properties. The quantitative analysis uses the Bank’s twenty quarter rolling historical loan loss experience as determined for each loan segment to determine a loss factor applicable to each loan segment. PPP loans, because of the SBA guarantee, were excluded from the quantitative analysis. The allowance established as a result of the quantitative analysis was $3.8 million compared to $3.6 million at June 30, 2020 and $2.9 million at March 31, 2020, unchanged from year-end 2019.

The qualitative analysis utilizes a risk matrix that incorporates four primary risk factors: economic conditions, delinquency, classified loans, and level of risk, and assigns a risk score (as measured in basis points) to each factor. The

36


economic condition factor is primarily based on unemployment rates. The delinquency factor considers the level of past due loans and charge-offs. The classified loan factor considers the internal credit risk score of the portfolio. The level of risk factor considers operational factors such as: loan volume, management, loan review process, credit concentrations, competition, and legal and regulatory issues. The risk score (as measured in basis points) for each of the four risk factors is minimal, low, moderate, high and very high and is determined independently for commercial loans, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans. At March 31,June 30, the Bank increased the risk score for economic conditions and level of risk from a moderate rangebasis point adjustment connected to athe very high range for all loan portfoliosthe economic conditions risk factor to reflect increased risk presented by the pandemic. The risk score for delinquencypandemic and classified loanthese factors remained unchanged but couldat September 30, 2020. The classified loan risk factor for the commercial loan portfolio increased slightly during the third quarter due to an increase dependingin classified loans. In addition, the Bank carved out the portfolio of modified loans for a qualitative assessment separate from the overall commercial loan performance inportfolio. This allowed for assignment of a higher qualitative risk score on this portfolio. PPP loans, because of the future. TheseSBA guarantee, were excluded from the qualitative analysis. Year-to-date, these changes resulted in a $2.6$4.9 million increase in the qualitative component of the ALL to $10.3$12.6 million Marchas of September 30, 2020 compared to $7.7 million at December 31, 2020.2019.

The unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect Management’s estimate of probable loss. The unallocated component of the ALL reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

The following table shows, by loan segment, the activity in the ALL, the amount of allowance established in each category and the loans that were evaluated for the ALL under a specific reserve (individually) and those that were evaluated under a general reserve (collectively) as of March 31,September 30, 2020.

Real estate appraisals and collateral valuations are an important part of the Bank’s process for determining potential loss on collateral dependent loans and thereby have a direct effect on the determination of loan reserves, charge-offs and the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. As long as the loan remains a performing loan, no further updates to appraisals are required. If a loan or relationship migrates to nonaccrual and a risk rating of 7-Substandard or worse, an evaluation for impairment status is made based on the current information available at the time of downgrade and a new appraisal or collateral valuation is obtained. We believe this practice complies with the regulatory guidance.

In determining the allowance for loan losses, Management, at its discretion, may determine that additional adjustments to the fair value obtained from an appraisal or collateral valuation are required. Adjustments will be made as necessary based on factors, including, but not limited to the economy, deferred maintenance, industry, type of property or equipment etc., and the knowledge Management has about a particular situation. In addition, the cost to sell or liquidate the collateral is also estimated and deducted from the valuation in order to determine the net realizable value to the Bank. If an appraisal is not available, Management may make its best estimate of the real value of the collateral or use last

37


known market value and apply appropriate discounts.  If an adjustment is made to the collateral valuation, this will be documented with appropriate support and reported to the Loan Management Committee.

The allocation of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and is not intended to imply limitations on the usage of the allowance. The entire allowance is available to absorb any losses without regard to the category in which the loan is classified.

Deposits:

Total deposits decreased $8.0increased $211.4 million during the first threenine months of 2020 to $1.117$1.337 billion. Of this increase, approximately $36.0 million are remaining PPP loan proceeds. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $6.3$78.4 million (primarily in small business and commercial checking deposits) and interest-bearing checking and savings deposits decreased $8.7increased $143.0 million, while time deposits decreased $5.5$10.0 million. Interest-bearing checking decreasedincreased by $12.0$72.5 million primarily in commercialretail and municipalcommercial deposits, while the Bank’s Money Management and remained flatincreased $54.7 million and Savings products increased $2.3$15.9 million compared to year-end 2019. Time2019, as customers deposited stimulus checks and did not spend the funds. The decrease in time deposits also decreased since year-end andis primarily in retail accounts.

As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank had $158.1$209.1 million placed in the ICS reciprocal deposit program ($106.3163.6 million in interesting-bearinginterest-bearing checking and $48.5$45.5 million in money management) and $3.2$5.0 million in reciprocal time deposits in the CDARS program included in time deposits. These programs allow the Bank to offer full FDIC coverage to large depositors, but with the convenience to the customer of only having to deal with one bank. The Bank solicits these deposits from within its market and it believes they present no greater risk than any other local deposit. Only reciprocal deposits that exceed 20% of liabilities are considered brokered deposits. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank’s reciprocal deposits were 14.7%15.5% of total liabilities compared to 14.2% at year-end 2019.

Borrowings:

On August 4, 2020 the Corporation completed the sale of a subordinated debt note offering. The Corporation sold $15.0 million of subordinated debt notes with a maturity date of September 1, 2030. These notes are noncallable for 5 years and carry a fixed interest rate of 5% per year for 5 years and then convert to floating rate of SOFR plus 4.93% per year for the remainder of the term. The notes can be redeemed at par beginning 5 years prior to maturity. The Corporation also sold $5.0 million of subordinated debt notes with a maturity date of September 1, 2035. These notes are noncallable for 10 years and carry a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per year for 10 years and then convert to floating rate of SOFR plus 4.92% per year for the remainder of the term. The notes can be redeemed at par beginning 5 years prior to maturity. The notes are structured to qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Corporation and any funds it invests in the Bank qualify as Tier 1 capital at the Bank. The Corporation paid an issuance fee of 2% of the total issue that will be amortized to the call date of each issue on a pro-rata basis. The proceeds are intended to be used for general corporate purposes. The Corporation had no borrowings at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Shareholders’ Equity:

Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.5$12.0 million to $129.0$139.6 million at March 31,September 30, 2020, from $127.5 million at the end of 2019. The Corporation’s net earnings of $1.7$8.2 million were partially offset by the cash dividend of $1.3$3.9 million. The Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) added $349$718 thousand in new capital from optional cash contributions and $211$644 thousand from the reinvestment of quarterly dividends. The Corporation’s dividend payout ratio was 75.97%47.45% for the first threenine months of 2020.

As part of its quarterly dividend decision, the Corporation considers current and future income projections, dividend yield, payout ratio, and current and future capital ratios. For the firstthird quarter of 2020, the Corporation paid a $0.30 per share dividend, compared to $0.27$0.30 paid in the firstthird quarter of 2019. On April 16,October 8, 2020 the Board of Directors declared a $0.30 per share regular quarterly dividend for the secondfourth quarter of 2020, which will be paid on May 27,November 25, 2020.

On September 12, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the 2019 Repurchase Plan for the repurchase of up to 150,000 shares of the Corporation’s $1.00 par value common stock at market prices in open market or privately

38


negotiated transactions beginning September 13, 2019 and continuing throughexpired on September 12, 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, 36,401 shares were repurchased, under the 2019 plan. The Corporation suspended activity in the stock repurchase plan on March 19, 2020.

Capital adequacy for the Bank is currently defined by regulatory agencies through the use of several minimum required ratios. The capital ratios to be considered “well capitalized” are: (1) Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) of 6.5%, (2) Tier 1 Leverage of 5%, (3) Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital of 8%, and (4) Total Risk-Based Capital of 10%. In addition, a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% is applicable to all of the capital ratios except for the Tier 1 Leverage ratio. The capital conservation buffer is equal to the lowest value of the three applicable capital ratios less the regulatory minimum for each respective capital measurement. The Bank’s capital conservation buffer at March 31,September 30, 2020 was 7.78% (total risk-based capital 15.78% less 8.00%)7.25% compared to the 2020 regulatory buffer of 2.50%. Compliance with the capital conservation buffer is required in order to avoid limitations to certain capital distributions and is in addition to the minimum required capital requirements. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank was “well capitalized”.

In 2019, the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) was approved by federal banking agencies as an optional capital measure available to Qualifying Community Banking Organizations (QCBO). If a bank qualifies as a QCBR and maintains a CBLR of 9% or greater, the bank would be considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory capital purposes and exempt from complying with the risk-based capital rule described above. The CBLR rule took effect January 1, 2020 and banks desiring tocould opt-in can do so through an election in the first quarter 2020 regulatory filing. The Bank meetsmet the criteria of a QCBR but did not opt-in to the CBLR.

The Bank is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) to fund PPP Loans. In accordance with regulatory guidance, PPP loans pledged as collateral for PPPLF, and PPPLF advances, are excluded from leverage capital ratios. PPP loans will also carry a 0% risk-weight for risk-based capital rules.

The consolidated asset limit on small bank holding companies is $3 billion and a company with assets under that limit is not subject to the consolidated capital rules but may file reports that include capital amounts and ratios. The Corporation has elected to file those reports.

Economy

The Corporation’s primary market area includes Franklin, Fulton, Cumberland and Huntingdon Counties, Pennsylvania. This area is diverse in demographic and economic makeup. County populations range from a low of approximately 15,000 in Fulton County to over 249,000 in Cumberland County. Unemployment in the Bank’s market area has remained virtually unchanged over the past year and rangesranged from a low of 3.5%9.9% in Cumberland County to 5.3%15.1% in

39


Huntingdon County. Fulton County, as of the end of August. The market area has a diverse economic base and local industries include warehousing, truck & rail shipping centers, light and heavy manufacturers, health-care,healthcare, higher education institutions, farming and agriculture, and a varied service sector. The Corporation’s primary market area is located in South Central PA and provides easy access to the major metropolitan markets on the east coast via trucking and rail transportation. Because of this, warehousing and distribution companies continue to find the area attractive. The local economy is not overly dependent on any one industry or business and Management believes that the Bank’s primary market area continues to be well suited for growth.

In early March 2020, the economic outlook changed dramatically driven primarily by the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of the pandemic stretched into the second quarter of 2020 and are expected to last throughout the remainder of the year. The pandemic has resulted in certain federal, state and local governmental authorities taking action to stop the spread of the pandemic.virus. These actions have included stay-at-home orders, restrictions on business activity, and proclamations and/or directives aimed at minimizing the spread of the pandemic by restricting the movement of people, products and services in the economy. As a result of these actions, the economic activity of the Bank’s market area has been curtailed, businesses have been shut down and unemployment has dramatically increased. The repayment of every loan is dependent, in some way, on an efficiently functioning economy. Any action that has the effect of restricting economic activity has the potential to reduce cash flow available to repay loans. At this time, the length of this economic downturn and its effect on the Corporation is uncertain.

Impact of Inflation

The impact of inflation upon financial institutions such as the Corporation differs from its effect upon other commercial enterprises. Unlike many companies, the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are financial in nature. As such, interest rates and changes in interest rates may have a more significant effect on the Corporation’s financial results than on other types of industries. Because of this, the Corporation watches the actions of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) as it makes decisions about interest rate changes and how such changes affect market rates and the Corporation. Although inflation (and inflation expectations) may affect the interest rate environment, it is not possible to measure with any precision the affecteffect of inflation on the Corporation.

Liquidity

The Corporation must meet the financial needs of the customers that it serves, while providing a satisfactory return on the shareholders’ investment. In order to accomplish this, the Corporation must maintain sufficient liquidity in order to respond quickly to the changing level of funds required for both loan and deposit activity. The goal of liquidity management is to meet the ongoing cash flow requirements of depositors who want to withdraw funds and of borrowers who request loan disbursements. The Bank regularly reviews it liquidity position by measuring its projected net cash flows (in and out) at a 30 and 90-day interval. The Bank stresses the measurements by assuming a level of deposit out-flows that have not historically been realized. In addition to this forecast, other funding sources are reviewed as a method to provide emergency funding if necessary. The objective of this measurement is to identify the amount of cash that could be raised quickly without the need to liquidate assets. The Bank also stresses its liquidity position utilizing different longer-term scenarios. The varying degrees of stress create pressure on deposit flows in its local market, reduce access to wholesale funding and limit access of funds available through brokered deposit channels. In addition to stressing cash flow, specific liquidity risk indicators are monitored to help identify risk areas. This analysis helps identify and quantify the potential cash surplus/deficit over a variety of time horizons to ensure the Bank has adequate funding resources. Assumptions used for liquidity stress testing are subjective. Should an evolving liquidity situation or business cycle present new data, potential assumption changes will be considered. The Bank believes it can meet all anticipated liquidity demands.

Historically, the Corporation has satisfied its liquidity needs from earnings, repayment of loans and amortizing investment securities, maturing investment securities, loan` sales, deposit growth and its ability to access existing lines of credit. All investment securities are classified as available for sale; therefore, securities that are unencumbered (approximately $125.7$227.2 million fair value) as collateral for borrowings are an additional source of readily available liquidity, either by selling the security or, more preferably, to provide collateral for additional borrowing. The Bank also has access to other wholesale funding via the brokered CD market.

The FHLB system has always been a major funding source for the Bank. There are no current indicators that lead the Bank to believe the FHLB would discontinue its lending function or restrict the Bank’s ability to borrow. If either of these events would occur, it would have a negative effect on the Bank, and it is unlikely that the Bank could replace the level of FHLB funding in a short time. The Bank has established credit at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and at correspondent banks.

Pandemic Effect on Liquidity -Liquidity: The Bank is closely monitoring itits liquidity needs as loans are modified and delinquencies are expected to increase. The Bank expects to see a reduction in monthly cash flow from loan deferrals, as discussed in the Loan Quality section. The Bank expects to be able to absorb this reduction through its current liquidity resources. To support its liquidity position, the Bank is participating in the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) established by the Federal Reserve to fund loans made through the Paycheck Protection Program sponsored by the Small Business Administration. The PPPLF is a term financing facility with a fixed interest rate of .35%0.35% and a maturity equal to the maturity date of no more than 2the PPP loans (2 years for each loan.or 5 years). Loans made through the PPP are used as collateral for PPPLF funding. The PPPLF will allow the Bank to fully fund its PPP loans at a low fixed rate without having to access its normal liquidity sources described above. The Bank also expects to see a temporary increase in funding as the stimulus checks provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) are issued and deposited to the bank. However, the Bank expects these funds to be quickly withdrawn. The Bank believes it can meet all anticipated liquidity demands of the pandemic through its current liquidity sources and the government sponsored programs.

The CARES Act also granted the FDIC authority to reinstitute the liquidity guarantee program to offer unlimited FDIC insurance on noninterest bearing deposit. If this is approved by the FDIC, it would provide less incentive for customers to withdraw deposits and possibly strain bank liquidity

Off Balance Sheet Commitments

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These commitments consist mainly of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Corporation. Unused commitments and standby letters of credit totaled $329.4$348.8 million and $336.6 million, respectively, at March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. AsIn the second quarter of June 30, 2018, the Bank established a $2.4 million allowance against letters of credit issued in connection with a commercial borrower that declared bankruptcy. In the first quarter of 2020, the Bank reversed $250 thousand of this reserve as one letter of credit was cancelled. At March 31,September 30, 2020, this reserve was $2.1 million.

The Corporation has entered into various contractual obligations to make future payments. These obligations include time deposits, long-term debt, operating leases, deferred compensation and pension payments. These amounts have not changed materially from those reported in the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes in the Corporation’s exposure to market risk during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020. For more information on market risk refer to the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon the evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control

41


over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31,September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

The management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The nature of the Corporation’s business generates a certain amount of litigation.

We establish accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probable, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When we are able to do so, we also determine estimates of possible losses, whether in excess of any accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability.

These assessments are based on our analysis of currently available information and are subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and uncertainties. As new information is obtained, we may change our assessments and, as a result, take or adjust the amounts of our accruals and change our estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and the unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts that may be accrued or included in estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses may not represent the actual loss to the Corporation from any legal proceeding. Our exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, possibly significantly higher, than amounts we may accrue or amounts we may estimate.

In management’s opinion, we do not anticipate, at the present time, that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of all litigation to which the Corporation is a party will have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We cannot now determine, however, whether or not any claim asserted against us will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any future reporting period, which will depend on, amount other things, the amount of loss resulting from the claim and the amount of income otherwise reported for the reporting period. Thus, at March 31,September 30, 2020, we are unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss with respect to such other matters and, accordingly, have not yet established any specific accrual for such other matters.

No material proceedings are pending or are known to be threatened or contemplated against us by governmental authorities.

In management’s opinion, there are no other proceedings pending to which the Corporation is a party or to which its property is subject which, if determined adversely to the Corporation, would be material. No material proceedings are pending or are known to be threatened or contemplated against us by any governmental authorities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 the Corporation has determined the following risk associated with its business, financial condition, results of operations and common stock. This risk factor supplements the risk factors described in the Corporation’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Public health crisis such as epidemics or pandemics could materially and adversely impact our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global, national and local economies, disrupted global and national supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities.communities and may result in the same or similar restrictions in the future. As a result, the demand for our products and services have been and may continue to be significantly impacted, which could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations. Furthermore, the pandemic could continue to result in the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increase in our allowance for credit losses, particularly if businesses remain closed,restricted or are required to close again, the impact on the global, national and local economies worsen, or more customers draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may be required to recognize further impairments on the securities we hold as well as reductions in other comprehensive income. Our business operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial conditions, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

We continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks as they evolve. The magnitude, duration and likelihood of the current outbreak of COVID-19, further outbreaks of COVID-19, future actions taken by governmental authorities and/or other third parties in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its future direct and

indirect effects on the global, national and local economy and our business and results of operation are highly uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic may cause prolonged global or national recessionary economic conditions or longer lasting effects on economic conditions than currently exist, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Due to the Corporation’s participation in the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), the Corporation is subject to additional risks of litigation from its clients or other parties regarding the processing of loans for the PPP and risks that the SBA may not fund some or all of PPP loan guaranties.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted, which included a $349 billion loan program administered through the SBA referred to as the PPP. Under the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals could apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders. The Corporation participated as a lender in the PPP. Because of the short timeframe between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there was some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP along with the continually evolving nature of SBA the rules, interpretations and guidelines concerning this program, which exposes us to risks relating to the noncompliance with the PPP. Since the launch of the PPP, several large banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP. As such, we may be exposed to the risk of litigation, from both clients and non-clients that approached the Corporation regarding PPP loans, regarding its process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. If any such litigation is filed against us and is not resolved in a manner favorable to us, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect our reputation. In addition, litigation can be costly, regardless of outcome. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Corporation also has credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, underwritten, certified by the borrower, funded, or serviced by the Corporation, such as an issue with the eligibility of a borrower to receive a PPP loan, which may or may not be related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP. In the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, certified by the borrower, funded, or serviced by the FNBPA, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from us.
