(individually and collectively with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the "Company") is a Pennsylvania corporation ~~organized as~~and the holding company of its wholly owned subsidiary, First Citizens Community Bank (the "Bank"), and of the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. ("First Citizens Insurance").~~On December 11, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of The First National Bank of Fredericksburg (FNB) by merging FNB into the Bank.~~

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because this report is based on an interim period, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. The financial performance reported for the Company for the nine month period ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company's investment securities portfolio contained unrealized losses on agency securities issued or backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government or are generally viewed as having the implied guarantee of the U.S. government, obligations of states and political subdivisions and mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities. For fixed maturity investments management considers whether the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security's amortized cost basis (the difference defined as the credit loss), the magnitude and duration of the decline, the reasons underlying the decline and the Company's intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, if the Company does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the security before recovery of the security's amortized cost basis, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of credit loss. Any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost (the difference defined as the non-credit portion) is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Otherwise, the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost is charged to earnings. For equity securities where the fair value has been significantly below cost for one year, the Company's policy is to recognize an impairment loss unless sufficient evidence is available that the decline is not other than temporary and a recovery period can be predicted. The Company has concluded that any impairment of its investment securities portfolio outlined in the above table is not other than temporary and is the result of interest rate changes, sector credit rating changes, or issuer-specific rating changes that are not expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.

Proceeds from sales of securities available-for-sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $30,393,000 and ~~2015~~$12,077,000, respectively.

Note 5 – Loans

The Company grants loans primarily to customers throughout north central, central and south central Pennsylvania and the southern tier of New York. Although the Company had a diversified loan portfolio at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economic conditions within these regions.

Purchased loans acquired in ~~the FNB~~The First National Bank of Fredericksburg (FNB) acquisition, completed in 2015, were recorded at fair value on their purchase date without a carryover of the related allowance for loan losses.

Upon acquisition, the Company evaluated whether an acquired loan was within the scope of ASC 310-30, Receivables-Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. Purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") loans are loans that have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Based upon management's review, there were no material increases or decreases in the expected cash flows of these loans between December 11, 2015 (the "acquisition date") and September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. The fair value of PCI loans, on the acquisition date, was determined, primarily based on the fair value of the loans' collateral. The carrying value of PCI loans was ~~$3,565,000~~$3,321,000 and ~~$3,818,000~~$3,367,000 at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, respectively.

On the acquisition date, the unpaid principal balance for all PCI loans was $6,969,000 and the estimated fair value of the loans was $3,809,000. Total contractually required payments on these loans, including interest, at the acquisition date was $9,913,000. However, the Company's preliminary estimate of expected cash flows was $4,474,000. At such date, the Company established a credit risk related non-accretable discount (a discount representing amounts which are not expected to be collected from the customer nor liquidation of collateral) of $5,439,000 relating to these PCI loans, reflected in the recorded net fair value. Such amount is reflected as a non-accretable fair value adjustment to loans. The Company further estimated the timing and amount of expected cash flows and established an accretable discount of $665,000 on the acquisition date relating to these PCI loans.

The carrying value of the PCI loans was determined by projected discounted contractual cash flows.

Changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (in thousands):

							Three months ended						Nine months ended
							September 30,						September 30,
	Three Months Ended			Nine months Ended			2017			2016			2017			2016

The segments of the Company's loan portfolio are disaggregated into classes to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. Residential real estate mortgages consist primarily of 15 to 30 year first mortgages on residential real estate, while residential real estate home equity loans are consumer purpose installment loans or lines of credit with terms of 15 years or less secured by a mortgage which is often a second lien on residential real estate. Commercial real estate loans are business purpose loans secured by a mortgage on commercial real estate. Agricultural real estate loans are loans secured by a mortgage on real estate used in agriculture production. Construction real estate loans are loans secured by residential, commercial or ~~commercial~~agricultural real estate used during the construction phase of residential, ~~and~~ commercial or agricultural projects. Consumer loans are typically unsecured or primarily secured by assets other than real estate and overdraft lines of credit are typically secured by customer deposit accounts. Other commercial loans are loans for commercial purposes primarily secured by non-real estate collateral. Other agricultural loans are loans for agricultural purposes primarily secured by non-real estate collateral. State and political subdivision loans are loans to state and local municipalities for capital and operating expenses or tax free loans used to finance commercial development.

Management considers other commercial loans, other agricultural loans, state and political subdivision loans, commercial real estate loans and agricultural real estate loans which are 90 days or more past due to be impaired. Management will also consider a loan impaired based on other factors it becomes aware of, including the customer's results of operations and cash flows or if the loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. In addition, certain residential mortgages, home equity and consumer loans that are cross collateralized with commercial relationships that are determined to be impaired may also be classified as impaired. Impaired loans are analyzed to determine if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If management determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allocation of the allowance for loan losses or a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses.

Credit Quality Information

For commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, construction, other commercial, other agricultural and state and political subdivision loans, management uses a nine grade internal risk rating system to monitor credit quality. The first five categories are considered not criticized and are aggregated as "Pass" rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The definitions of each rating are defined below:

·	Pass (Grades 1-5) – These loans are to customers with credit quality ranging from an acceptable to very high quality and are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

·	Special Mention (Grade 6) – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

·	Substandard (Grade 7) – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and be characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

·	Doubtful (Grade 8) – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

·	Loss (Grade 9) – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay the loan as agreed, the Company's loan rating process includes several layers of internal and external oversight. The Company's loan officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in each of their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis under the supervision of management. All commercial and agricultural loans are reviewed annually to ensure the appropriateness of the loan grade. In addition, the Company engages an external consultant on at least an annual basis to 1) review a minimum of ~~55%~~50% of the dollar volume of the commercial loan portfolio on an annual basis (60% for 2016), 2) review new loans originated for over $1.0 million in the last year, 3) review a majority of borrowers with commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million, 4) review selected loan relationships over $750,000 which are over 30 days past due or classified Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, or Loss, and 5) such other loans which management or the consultant deems appropriate.

The following tables represent credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~2016 (in thousands):

For residential real estate mortgages, home equity and consumer loans, credit quality is monitored based on whether the loan is performing or non-performing, which is typically based on the aging status of the loan and payment activity, unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, death or significant delay in payment occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. Non-performing loans include those loans that are considered nonaccrual, described in more detail below, and all loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing. The following table presents the recorded investment in those loan classes based on payment activity as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~2016 (in thousands):

Nonaccrual Loans

Loans are considered for non-accrual status upon reaching 90 days delinquency, although the Company may be receiving partial payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on such loans or if full payment of principal and interest is not expected. Additionally, if management is made aware of other information including bankruptcy, repossession, death, or legal proceedings, the loan may be placed on non-accrual status. If a loan is 90 days or more past due and is well secured and in the process of collection, it may still be considered accruing.

The following table reflects the financing receivables, excluding PCI loans, on non-accrual status as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, respectively. The balances are presented by class of financing receivable (in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, management may grant a concession for other than an insignificant period of time to the borrower that would not otherwise be considered, the related loan is classified as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR). Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to structure more affordable terms before their loan reaches nonaccrual status. These restructured terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. In cases where borrowers are granted new terms that provide for a reduction of interest or principal, or both, management measures any impairment on the restructuring by calculating the present value of the revised loan terms and comparing this balance to the Company's investment in the loan prior to the restructuring. As these loans are individually evaluated, they are excluded from pooled portfolios when calculating the allowance for loan and lease losses and a separate allocation within the allowance for loan and lease losses is provided. Management continually evaluates loans that are considered TDRs, including payment history under the modified loan terms, the borrower's ability to continue to repay the loan based on continued evaluation of their operating results and cash flows from operations. Based on this evaluation management would no longer consider a loan to be a TDR when the relevant facts support such a conclusion. As of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, included within the allowance for loan losses are reserves of ~~$31,000~~$85,000 and ~~$37,000~~$29,000 respectively, that are associated with loans modified as TDRs.

Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~for the nine months ended September 30, 2015~~2016 were as follows (dollars in thousands)~~.

Recidivism, or the borrower defaulting on its obligation pursuant to a modified loan, results in the loan once again becoming a non-accrual loan. Recidivism on modified loans occurs at a notably higher rate than do defaults on new origination loans, so modified loans present a higher risk of loss than do new origination loans. There were no loans that were modified as TDRs during each 12-month period prior to the current reporting periods, which began January 1, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015~~2016 (nine month periods) and ~~July~~June 1, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015~~2016 (3 month periods), respectively, that subsequently defaulted during these reporting periods.

The Company allocates the ALLL based on the factors described below, which conform to the Company's loan classification policy and credit quality measurements. In reviewing risk within the Company's loan portfolio, management has determined there to be several different risk categories within the loan portfolio. The ALLL consists of amounts applicable to: (i) residential real estate loans; (ii) residential real estate home equity loans; (iii) commercial real estate loans; (iv) agricultural real estate loans; (v) real estate construction loans; (vi) other commercial and agricultural loans; (vii) consumer loans; (viii) other agricultural loans and (ix) state and political subdivision loans. Factors considered in this process include general loan terms, collateral, and availability of historical data to support the analysis. Historical loss percentages are calculated and used as the basis for calculating allowance allocations. Certain qualitative factors are evaluated to determine additional inherent risks in the loan portfolio, which are not necessarily reflected in the historical loss percentages. These factors are then added to the historical allocation percentage to get the adjusted factor to be applied to non-classified loans. The following qualitative factors are analyzed:

·	Level of and trends in delinquencies and impaired/classified loans

§	Change in volume and severity of past due loans

§	Volume of non-accrual loans

§	Volume and severity of classified, adversely or graded loans;

·	Level of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries;

·	Trends in volume, terms and nature of the loan portfolio;

·	Effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards and any other changes in lending and recovery policies, procedures and practices;

·	Changes in the quality of the Company's loan review system;

·	Experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

·	National, state, regional and local economic trends and business conditions

§	General economic conditions

§	Unemployment rates

§	Inflation rate/ Consumer Price Index

§	Changes in values of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;

·	Industry conditions including the effects of external factors such as competition, legal, and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses;

·	Existence and effect of any credit concentrations, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

·	Any change in the level of board oversight.

The Company analyzes its loan portfolio each quarter to determine the adequacy of its ALLL.

Loans determined to be TDRs are impaired and for purposes of estimating the ALLL must be individually evaluated for impairment. In calculating the impairment, the Company calculates the present value utilizing an analysis of discounted cash flows. If the present value calculated is below the recorded investment of the loan, impairment is recognized by a charge to the provision for loan and lease losses and a credit to the ALLL.

~~We continually review~~For the ~~model utilized~~three months ended September 30, 2017, the allowance for residential real estate increased in ~~calculating~~general reserves for pooled loans as a result of increased loss rates reflected in the ~~required ALLL.~~charge-offs for the three month period, as well as higher loan balances. The ~~following qualitative factors experienced changes~~increase was offset by a decrease in the specific reserve for individually evaluated residential loans. This was represented as a decrease to the provision. The allowance for commercial real estate was increased in general reserves due to growth in the commercial real estate loan portfolio, which was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for agricultural real estate loans was increased in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances. The result of this growth was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for other commercial loans was reduced as a result of a decrease in the historical loss factor in the portfolio segment and decrease in specific reserves. This was represented by a decrease to the provision. The allowance for other agricultural loans was increased in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances. It was also impacted by an increase in specific reserves during the ~~first~~quarter. The result of these changes was represented as an increase in the provision.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the allowance for residential real estate increased in general reserves as a result of ~~2016:~~increased loss rates reflected in the charge-offs for the nine month period. This was represented as an increase to the provision. The allowance for agricultural real estate loans was increased in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances as well as an increase in specific reserves. It was also impacted by the classified loan trend in the agricultural real estate portfolio. The result of these changes was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for other commercial loans was reduced as a result of lower loan balances, an improvement in the amount of classified loans and a reduction in the historical loss factor. This was represented by a decrease to the provision. The allowance for other agricultural loans was increased in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances. It was also impacted by the classified loan trend in the other agricultural loan portfolio. The result of these changes was represented as an increase in the provision.

The qualitative factors for changes in levels of and trends in delinquencies, impaired/classified loans were increased for residential, consumer and agricultural related loans due to an increase in past due, non-accrual and classified loans due to increase in the number of accounts past due. We did not increase this factor for other commercial loans due to the increase being caused by one relationship instreat of a larger trend.

The qualitative factor for industry conditions, including the effects of external factors such as competition, legal, and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses, was increased for and segment that includes agricultural related loans due to the decrease in the price received for product sold and the increase in feed costs that has occurred in 2016, which negatively affected customer earnings.

·	The qualitative factor for national, state, regional and local economic trends and business conditions was increased for all loan categories due to an increase in the unemployment rates in the local economy during the first nine months of 2016.

·	~~The qualitative factors for changes in quality of the institutions loan review system were increased for commercial and agricultural loans due to the addition of new staff and processes.~~

·	~~The qualitative factors for trends in volume, terms and nature of the loan portfolio were increased for all segments that include agricultural loans due to growth in these loan categories.~~

·	The qualitative factors for trends in volume, terms and nature of the loan portfolio were decreased for municipal loans due to this loan segment making up a smaller portion of the Bank's overall loan portfolio as we continue to grow commercial and agricultural loans.

·	The qualitative factors for experience, ability. and depth of lending management was decreased for municipal loans due to employees gaining additional experience and the use of a third party in reviewing loan information.

~~The following qualitative factors experienced changes during~~For the three months ended September 30, ~~2016:~~

·	The qualitative factors for changes in levels of and trends in delinquencies, impaired/classified loans were increased for all segments that agricultural related loans due to an increase in past due, non-accrual and classified loans.

~~The increase in loan recoveries during the third quarter was primarily due to one customer that paid off a loan that was partially charged off in 2014 for $463,000. The~~ increase in the ~~overall provision~~amount of classified loans. Offsetting this increase was the recovery of a previously charged-off amount during the quarter. This resulted in a decrease in the provision. The allowance for agricultural real estate loans was increased in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances. It was also impacted by the classified loan trend in the agricultural real estate portfolio. The result of these changes was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for other commercial loans was increased as a result of higher loan balances and an increase in the historical loss factor. This was represented by an increase to the provision. The allowance for other agricultural loans was increased in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances. It was also impacted by the classified loan trend in the other agricultural loan portfolio. The result of these changes was represented as an increase in the provision.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the allowance for agricultural real estate loans was increased in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances. It was also impacted by the classified loan trend in the agricultural real estate portfolio and the general industry conditions. The result of these changes was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for other commercial loans was increased as a result of the increase in the amount of classified loans and an increase in the specific reserves. This was represented by an increase to the provision. The allowance for other agricultural loans was increased in general reserves as a result of higher loan balances. It was also impacted by the classified loan trend in the other agricultural loan portfolio and in the general industry conditions. The result of these changes was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for state and political loans was increased for general reserves due to ~~loan growth,~~ an increase in special mention ~~and substandard~~ loans ~~and increases in delinquency.~~

~~The following qualitative factors experienced changes~~ during the ~~first nine months~~period. This was represented as an increase in the provision. The allowance for commercial real estate was increased due to a recovery that occurred in the third quarter of ~~2015:~~

·	The qualitative factor for national, state, regional and local economic trends and business conditions was increased for all loan categories due to an increase in the unemployment rates in the local economy during the first nine months of 2015.

The qualitative factors for changes in levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired/classified loans were decreased for commercial and agricultural real estate due to the decrease in the amount of loans classified as substandard. While there has been an increase in delinquencies of commercial and agricultural real estate loans, the qualitative factor was not increased.

Note 9 - Employee Benefit Plans

For additional detailed disclosure on the Company's pension and employee benefits plans, please refer to Note 11 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the ~~2015~~2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Noncontributory Defined Benefit Pension Plan

The Bank sponsors a trusteed noncontributory defined benefit pension plan ("Pension Plan") covering substantially all employees and officers ~~that were~~ hired prior to January 1, 2007. Additionally, the Bank assumed the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan of FNB when it was ~~acquired during 2015.~~acquired. The FNB plan was frozen prior to the acquisition and therefore, no additional benefits will accrue for employees covered under that plan. These two plans are collectively referred to herein as "the Plans." The Bank's funding policy is to make annual contributions, if needed, based upon the funding formula developed by the plans' actuary. Any employee with a hire date of January 1, 2007 or later is not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan.

In lieu of the Pension Plan, employees with a hire date of January 1, 2007 or later are eligible to receive, after meeting certain length of service requirements, an annual discretionary 401(k) plan contribution from the Bank equal to a percentage of an employee's base compensation. The contribution amount, if any, is placed in a separate account within the 401(k) plan and is subject to a vesting requirement.

For employees who are eligible to participate in the Pension Plan, the Pension Plan requires benefits to be paid to eligible employees based primarily upon age and compensation rates during employment. Upon retirement or other termination of employment, employees can elect either an annuity benefit or a lump sum distribution of vested benefits in the Pension Plan.

The following sets forth the components of net periodic benefit costs of the Pension Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, respectively (in thousands):

Note 1011 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company has established a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by this hierarchy are as follows:

Level I:

Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II:	Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level III:	Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management's best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company's valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company's monthly and/or quarterly valuation process.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by quoted prices in active markets, when available, and classified as Level I. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique, widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities and classified as Level II. The fair values consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond's terms and conditions, among other things.

The following tables present the assets and liabilities reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~2016 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands). Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial Instruments, Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets, financial liabilities, non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Certain non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015~~2016 include certain foreclosed assets which, upon initial recognition, were remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for possible loan losses and certain foreclosed assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, were remeasured at fair value through a write-down included in other non-interest expense.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~2016 are included in the table below (in thousands):

Impaired Loans - The Company has measured impairment on impaired loans generally based on the fair value of the loan's collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties. In some cases, management may adjust the appraised value due to the age of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. Additionally, management makes estimates about expected costs to sell the property which are also included in the net realizable value. If the fair value of the collateral dependent loan is less than the carrying amount of the loan a specific reserve for the loan is made in the allowance for loan losses or a charge-off is taken to reduce the loan to the fair value of the collateral (less estimated selling costs) and the loan is included in the table above as a Level III measurement. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the carrying amount of the loan, then the loan is not included in the table above as it is not currently being carried at its fair value. The fair values above excluded estimated selling costs of ~~$104,000~~$246,000 and ~~$91,000~~$188,000 at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, respectively.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) – OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is measured at the date of foreclosure. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the carrying amount of the loan, no charge-off or adjustment is necessary, the loan is not considered to be carried at fair value, and is therefore not included in the table above. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the carrying amount of the loan, management will charge the loan down to its estimated realizable value. The fair value of OREO is based on the appraised value of the property, which is generally unadjusted by management and is based on comparable sales for similar properties in the same geographic region as the subject property, and is included in the above table as a Level II measurement. In some cases, management may adjust the appraised value due to the age of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. In these cases, the loans are categorized in the above table as Level III measurement since these adjustments are considered to be unobservable inputs. Income and expenses from operations and further declines in the fair value of the collateral subsequent to foreclosure are included in net expenses from OREO.

The following table provides a listing of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement process for items valued utilizing Level III techniques (dollars in thousands).

Fair value is determined based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the estimates.

Fair values have been determined by the Company using historical data, as generally provided in the Company's regulatory reports, and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The Company's fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's other financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value because they have original maturities of 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable:

The carrying amounts for accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value because they are generally received or paid in 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Interest bearing time deposits with other banks:

The fair value of interest bearing time deposits with other banks is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Available-For-Sale Securities:

Loans held-for-sale:

The carrying amount for loans held for sale approximates fair value as the loans are only held for less than a week from origination.

Loans:

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The fair value of performing loans has been estimated by discounting expected future cash flows. The discount rate used in these calculations is derived from the Treasury yield curve adjusted for credit quality, operating expense and prepayment option price, and is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company's historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified as required by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.

Bank Owned Life Insurance:

The carrying value of bank owned life insurance approximates fair value based on applicable redemption provisions.

Regulatory Stock:

The carrying value of regulatory stock approximates fair value based on applicable redemption provisions.

Deposits:

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The deposits' fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market, commonly referred to as the core deposit intangible.

Borrowed Funds:

Rates available to the Company for borrowed funds with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of borrowed funds.

Note 1112 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this ~~update~~Update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. ~~The Company is evaluating~~Because the ~~effect~~guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities,we do not expect the new standard, or any of ~~adopting this new accounting Update.~~

~~In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,~~ ~~Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards.

The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. An entity should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period ~~presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on~~ the Company's financial ~~statements.~~

~~In August 2015,~~instruments are not within the ~~FASB issued ASU 2015-14,~~ ~~Revenue from Contract with Customers~~ ~~(Topic 606). The amendments in this Update defer the effective date~~scope of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods withinTopic 606. However, we do expect that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after Dece~~mber 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting Update.~~

~~In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16,~~ ~~Business Combinations (Topic 805).~~ The amendments in this Update require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this Update require that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this Update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December ~~15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (g) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and ~~(h)~~(g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity's other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in ~~which:~~which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with ea~~rlier~~earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently ~~evaluating~~assessing the ~~impact the~~practical expedients it may elect at adoption, ~~of the standard will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.~~

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).~~ The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity's ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. ~~The amendments in this update do~~but does not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606; they simply clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations.

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,~~ ~~Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)~~. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The standards in this Update provide simplification for several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as with equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. In addition to those simplifications, the amendments eliminate the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), ~~Share-Based Payment~~. This should not result in a change in practice because the guidance that is being superseded was never effective. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

~~In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).~~ The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle for revenue recognition in Topic 606. Instead, the amendments provide (1) more detailed guidance in a few areas and (2) additional implementation guidance and examples based on feedback the FASB received from its stakeholders. The amendments are expected to reduce the degree of judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606, which the FASB expects will reduce the potential for diversity arising in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~, which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of~~ ~~Update 2014-09 by one year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.~~

~~In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~, which among other things clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion in Topic 606, as well as certain narrow aspects of Topic 606. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~, which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. This Update is not expected to~~ have a significant impact to the financial statements. Based on the Company's ~~financial statements~~preliminary analysis of its current portfolio, the impact to the Company's balance sheet is estimated to result in less than a 1% increase in assets and liabilities. The Company also anticipates additional disclosures to be provided at adoption.

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

In ~~August 2016,~~January 2017, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-15,~~ 2017-04, ~~Statement~~Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of ~~Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments~~ ~~("ASU 2016-15"), which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with~~goodwill, the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Among these include recognizing cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment as cash outflows for financing activities; cash proceeds receivedFASB eliminated Step 2 from the ~~settlement~~goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of ~~insurance claims~~goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities that are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715). The amendments in this Update require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost as defined in paragraphs 715-30-35-4 and 715-60-35-9 are required to be ~~classified on~~presented in the ~~basis of the related insurance coverage; and cash proceeds received~~income statement separately from the ~~settlement~~service cost component and outside a subtotal of ~~bank-owned life insurance policies should~~income from operations, if one is presented.

If a separate line item or items are not used, the ~~cash payments~~line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). The amendments in this Update shorten the amortization period for ~~premiums on bank-owned policies may~~certain callable debt securities held at a premium.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

We have made forward-looking statements in this document, and in documents that we incorporate by reference, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or expected future results of operations of Citizens Financial Services, Inc., First Citizens Community Bank, First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. or the combined Company. When we use words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For a variety of reasons, actual results could differ materially from those contained in or implied by forward-looking statements. The Company cautions readers that the following important factors, among others, could in the future affect the Company's actual results and could cause the Company's actual results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement:

·	Interest rates could change more rapidly or more significantly than we expect.

·	The economy could change significantly in an unexpected way, which would cause the demand for new loans and the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans to change in ways that our models do not anticipate.

·	The financial markets could suffer a significant disruption, which may have a negative effect on our financial condition and that of our borrowers, and on our ability to raise money by issuing new securities.

·	It could take us longer than we anticipate to implement strategic initiatives designed to increase revenues or manage expenses, or we may be unable to implement those initiatives at all.

·	We may not be able to successfully integrate businesses we acquire or be able to fully realize the expected financial and other benefits from acquisitions.

·	Acquisitions and dispositions of assets could affect us in ways that management has not anticipated.

·	We may become subject to new legal obligations or the resolution of litigation may have a negative effect on our financial condition or operating results.

·	We may become subject to new and unanticipated accounting, tax, or regulatory practices or requirements.

We could experience greater loan delinquencies than anticipated, adversely affecting our earnings and financial condition. We could also experience greater losses than expected due to the ever increasing volume of information theft and fraudulent scams impacting our customers and the banking industry.

·	We could lose the services of some or all of our key personnel, which would negatively impact our business because of their business development skills, financial expertise, lending experience, technical expertise and market area knowledge.

·	The agricultural economy is subject to extreme swings in both the costs of resources and the prices received from the sale of products, which could negatively impact our customers.

·	~~Delays~~A budget impasse in ~~passing a budget by~~ the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania could impact our asset values, liquidity and profitability.

Companies providing support services related to the exploration and drilling of the natural gas reserves in our market area may be affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations such as restrictions on production, permitting, changes in taxes and environmental protection, which could negatively impact our customers and, as a result, negatively impact our loan and deposit volume and loan quality. Additionally, the activities of the companies providing support services related to the exploration and drilling of the natural gas reserves may be dependent on the market price of natural gas. As a result, decreases in the market price of natural gas could also negatively impact these companies, our customers.

Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed under "Part II – Item 1A – Risk Factors" in this report and in the Company's ~~2015~~2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K under "Item 1.A/ Risk Factors." Except as required by applicable law and regulation, we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date on which they are made.

Introduction

The following is management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at the dates and for the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Company. Our consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of the Bank's financial condition and results of operations. Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the preceding financial statements presented under Part I. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results you may expect for the full year.

The Company currently engages in the general business of banking throughout our service area of Potter, Tioga, Clinton and Bradford counties in north central Pennsylvania, Union county in central Pennsylvania, Lebanon, Lancaster, Berks and Schuylkill counties in south central Pennsylvania and Allegany county in southern New York. We maintain our central office in Mansfield, Pennsylvania. Presently we operate 2728 banking facilities, 2526 of which operate as bank branches. In Pennsylvania, these offices are located in Mansfield, Blossburg, Ulysses, Genesee, Wellsboro, Troy, Sayre, Canton, Gillett, Millerton, LeRaysville, Towanda, Rome, the Mansfield Wal-Mart Super Center, Mill Hall, Schuylkill Haven, Friedensburg, Mt. Aetna, Fredericksburg, Mount Joy and three branches near the city of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. In New York, our office is in Wellsville. We have a ~~loan production~~limited branch office in Winfield, Pennsylvania, which primarily serves agricultural customers in the central Pennsylvania market. We also have a limited branch office in Narvon, Pennsylvania to further serve customers in Lancaster County.

On July 27, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement with S&T Bank to acquire its State College, Pennsylvania office. Regulatory approval was received in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Risk Management

Risk identification and management are essential elements for the successful management of the Company. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various types of risk, including interest rate, credit, liquidity, reputational and regulatory risk.

Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income and the market value of financial instruments to the direction and frequency of changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk results from various re-pricing frequencies and the maturity structure of the financial instruments owned by the Company. The Company uses its asset/liability and funds management policy to control and manage interest rate risk.

Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms. Credit risk results from loans with customers and the purchasing of securities. The Company's primary credit risk is in the loan portfolio. The Company manages credit risk by adhering to an established credit policy and through a disciplined evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Also, the investment policy limits the amount of credit risk that may be taken in the investment portfolio.

Liquidity risk represents the inability to generate or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers and obligations to depositors. The Company has established guidelines within its asset/liability and funds management policy to manage liquidity risk. These guidelines include, among other things, contingent funding alternatives.

Reputational risk, or the risk to our business, earnings, liquidity, and capital from negative public opinion, could result from our actual or alleged conduct in a variety of areas, including legal and regulatory compliance, lending practices, corporate governance, litigation, ethical issues, or inadequate protection of customer information. We expend significant resources to comply with regulatory requirements. Failure to comply could result in reputational harm or significant legal or remedial costs. Damage to our reputation could adversely affect our ability to retain and attract new customers, and adversely impact our earnings and liquidity.

Regulatory risk represents the possibility that a change in law, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on the business of the Company. We cannot predict what legislation might be enacted or what regulations might be adopted, or if adopted, the effect thereof on our operations.

Competition

The banking industry in the Bank's service areas continue to be extremely competitive, both among commercial banks and with financial service providers such as consumer finance companies, thrifts, investment firms, mutual funds, insurance companies, credit unions, agricultural cooperatives and internet entities. ~~The increased competition~~Competition in ~~the~~our north central Pennsylvania market has ~~resulted from changes in the legal and regulatory guidelines~~increased as ~~well as from economic conditions in this market and the limited loan growth opportunities in the north central market and surrounding areas. Due~~a result of other financial institutions looking to ~~the~~expand into new markets. With larger ~~populations~~population centers in our central and south central markets, we experience more competition to gather deposits and to make loans than in our north central Pennsylvania ~~competition continues to increase.~~market. Mortgage banking firms, financial companies, financial affiliates of industrial companies, brokerage firms, retirement fund management firms and even government agencies provide additional competition for loans and other financial services. The Bank is generally competitive with all competing financial institutions in its service areas with respect to interest rates paid on time and savings deposits, service charges on deposit accounts and interest rates charged on loans.

Trust and Investment Services; Oil and Gas Services

Our Investment and Trust Services Division offers professional trust administration, investment management services, estate planning and administration, and custody of securities. Assets held by the Company in a fiduciary or agency capacity for its customers are not included in the Consolidated ~~Financial Statements~~Balance Sheets since such items are not assets of the Company.

Our Investment Representatives offer full service brokerage services and financial planning throughout the Bank's market area. Products such as mutual funds, annuities, health and life insurance are made available through our insurance subsidiary, First Citizens Insurance Agency, Inc. The assets associated with these products are not included in the Consolidated ~~Financial Statements~~Balance Sheets since such items are not assets of the Company. Assets owned and invested by customers of the Bank through the Bank's Investment Representatives increased from ~~$119.7~~$137.4 million at December 31, ~~2015~~2016 to ~~$134.4~~$142.4 million at September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the most significant component of the Company's earnings, is the amount by which interest income generated from interest-earning assets exceeds interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income for the first nine months of ~~2016~~2017 was ~~$28,088,000,~~$31,018,000, an increase of ~~$5,295,000,~~$2,930,000, or ~~23.2%~~10.4%, compared to the same period in ~~2015.~~2016.

Tax exempt revenue is shown on a tax-equivalent basis for proper comparison using a statutory, federal income tax rate of 34%. For purposes of the comparison, as well as the discussion that follows, this presentation 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 Company's 34% Federal statutory rate. The following table represents the adjustment to convert net interest income to net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the periods ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015 (in~~2016(in thousands):

This resulted in an increase in investment income of $372,000.

The average balance of tax-exempt securities decreased by $14.6 million, which resulted in a decrease in investment income of $480,000. The yield on tax-exempt securities decreased 3918 basis points from ~~4.93%~~4.54% to ~~4.54%~~4.36%, which corresponds to a decrease in interest income of ~~$298,000.~~$130,000. The yield decrease was due to ~~the amount of purchases we made in the current low interest rate environment.~~higher yielding securities being called and maturing and either being replaced by lower yielding securities or not replaced and utilized to fund loan growth. For a discussion of the Company's current investment strategy, see the "Financial Condition – Investments". ~~Offsetting this decrease in yield, the average balance of tax-exempt securities increased $2.3 million resulting in an increase in investment income of $88,000.~~

The purchase of tax-exempt securities, along with municipal loans and investment tax credits, allows us to manage and reduce our effective tax rate as well as increase the overall after-tax yield on our interest earning assets.

Total loan interest income increased ~~$5,119,000~~$4,204,000 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of ~~the acquisition of FNB and~~ loan growth achieved in the last half of 2016 and throughout 2017 that ~~occurred in 2015 and 2016~~was primarily due to the hiring of experienced lending teams in our ~~historical markets and the new~~ central and south central Pennsylvania markets.

The average balance of certificates of deposit decreased $10.7 million resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $94,000. (see also "Financial Condition – Deposits"). The rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased 2 basis points to 0.510% for the first nine months of 2017 compared to 2016. As a result of small variances in interest rates paid on individual products, interest expense on deposits increased $215,000.

The average balance of other borrowed funds increased $18.9 million from a year ago. This resulted in an increase in interest expense of $250,000. There was a decrease in the average rate on ~~certificates~~other borrowed fund from 1.86% to 1.78% due to an increase in the amount of ~~deposit from 1.09% to 0.97%~~funds borrowed overnight resulting in a decrease in interest expense of ~~$372,000.~~$22,000.

Tax equivalent net interest income for the three months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 was ~~$10,430,000~~$11,248,000 which compares to ~~$8,340,000~~$10,430,000 for the same period last year.

Total loan interest income increased ~~$1,988,000~~$1,441,000 compared to the same period last year. This was primarily due to an increase in volume of ~~$151.2~~$168.5 million, which corresponds to a ~~$1,970,000~~$1,988,000 increase in interest income. This was offset by a decrease in rate of 35 points from 5.21% to 4.86%, which corresponds to a decrease in loan interest income of $547,000. Loan interest income for the third quarter of 2016 was impacted by the payoff of a non-accrual loan that resulted in the recognition of $232,000 of interest income.

Total interest expense increased ~~$18,000~~$267,000 for the three months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 compared with last year as a result of the increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities of ~~$169.5~~$63.7 million, accounting for a ~~$152,000~~$129,000 increase in interest expense.

Non-interest expenses increased ~~$4,798,000~~$191,000 for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 compared to the same period in 2015, with the primary driver being the acquisition of FNB, which resulted in the Bank acquiring seven new branches and the associated employee base. Additionally, we have hired nine additional commercial and agricultural loan officers, as well as support staff in our south central and central Pennsylvania markets.2016. Salaries and employee benefits increased ~~$2,949,000~~$813,000 or ~~32.3%~~6.7%. ~~Merit~~The increase was due to merit increases effective at the beginning of ~~2016~~2017 and an increase in ~~full time~~the number of full-time equivalent employees ~~of 58.5~~ as a result of the ~~acquisition and the~~ hiring of the additional ~~lenders and support staff accounted for an increase~~lending teams in ~~salaries and employee benefits~~the last three quarters of approximately $2,242,000. Health insurance related expenses increased $413,000 as a result of covering additional employees obtained as part of the acquisition. Retirement and profit sharing plan expenses, which include pension plans, profit sharing, SERP and salary continuation plans increased $239,000 in 2016 compared to the 2015 nine month period.2016.

The primary cause of the increases in occupancy ~~and furniture and fixtures is~~expenses are due to openings of the ~~acquisition of FNB. The increase~~limited branch office in ~~other expenses was driven primarily by three items.~~

·	~~The first was a general expense increase due to the acquisition of FNB~~Winfield, Pennsylvania and ~~its seven branches.~~

The second was an increase in contributions of $100,000 made as part of the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program. The contribution was to be made in the fourth quarter of 2015, but due to the Pennsylvania budget impasse, the contribution was delayed until the first quarter of 2016.

·	~~The final increase of $300,000 was associated with charges as a result of customers' accounts being compromised and experiencing fraudulent charges.~~

~~The increase in professional fees is associated with legal fees as~~ the ~~Company looked to exit certain contracts and has closed a~~full service branch in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. The Winfield location was opened in the second quarter of 2016, ~~and consulting fees associated with system upgrades, which include~~while the ~~issuances of new debit cards~~Mount Joy location was opened in the third quarter of 2016. The ~~new cards include additional security features, which we anticipate will reduce our fraudulent card experience.~~ increase in the Pennsylvania shares tax is due to an increase in the tax rate, an increase in Bank capital and a credit incurred in the first quarter of 2016 as a result of charitable contribution made as part of the Pennsylvania EITC program.

The decrease in ~~merger and acquisition expense~~other expenses is due to ~~the acquisition that occurred~~a decrease in ~~2015 with no corresponding activity~~charitable contributions of $93,000, a decrease of $420,000 in ~~2016.~~ charges as a result of customers' accounts being compromised and experiencing fraudulent charges and a decrease of $97,000 in ATM operating expenses as a result of a vendor's contract enhancement fee.

The ~~decrease~~increase in ORE expenses is the result of a non-accrual loan paying off in the third quarter of 2016, which resulted in the reimbursement of $240,000 of previously paid real estate taxes and legal fees. ~~Additionally, in 2015, there were two large OREO write-downs in the third that totaled $262,000.~~

For the three months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, non-interest expenses increased ~~$1,348,000~~$47,000 when compared to the same period in ~~2015.~~2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$16.4~~$13.8 million at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 compared to ~~$24.4~~$17.8 million at December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, a decrease of ~~$8.0 million, which was used to fund loan growth.~~$3.9 million. Management actively measures and evaluates its liquidity position through our Asset–Liability Committee and believes its liquidity needs are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources including the Bank's core deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank financing, federal funds lines with correspondent banks, brokered certificates of deposit and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. Management expects that these sources of funds will permit us to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due.

Our investment portfolio decreased by ~~$10.6~~$50.4 million, or ~~2.9%~~16.1%, from December 31, ~~2015~~2016 to September 30, ~~2016. This was primarily due the loan growth that was experienced in the third quarter as we used the cash proceeds from principal, maturities and calls to fund the loan demand.~~2017. During ~~2016,~~2017, we purchased approximately ~~$23.6~~$6.0 million of U.S. agency obligations, ~~$9.8~~$12.7 million of ~~state and local obligations, a $3.0 million corporate subordinated debt and $8.1 million of the mortgage backed~~mortgage-backed securities in government sponsored entities and $1.8 million of municipal obligations, which helped offset the ~~$4.4~~$5.6 million of principal repayments and ~~$39.4~~$42.1 million of calls and maturities that occurred during the nine month period. We also sold ~~$12.1~~$22.6 million of various securities at a gain of ~~$155,000.~~$193,000. Excluding our short-term investments consisting of monies held primarily at the Federal Reserve for liquidity purposes, our investment portfolio for the nine month period ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 yielded ~~2.38%~~2.51%, compared to ~~2.74%~~2.38% in the comparable period in ~~2015~~2016 on a tax equivalent basis.

~~With~~The investment strategy for 2017 has been to utilize cashflows from the ~~additional liquidity obtained as part of~~investment portfolio to fund the ~~acquisition of FNB,~~strong loan growth the Company has experienced, while maintaining a portfolio sufficient to support our various pledging requirements for deposits, borrowings and ~~volatility in the interest rate market,~~liquidity. Investment purchases ~~in 2016~~ have been focused on ~~cash flow~~securities with short fixed maturities for agency securities and ~~purchasing~~short repricing windows for asset backed securities. We have also focused our purchases on securities with lower risk weightings due to the loan growth experienced that ~~fill positions in the Company's investment cashflow ladder~~carries a higher risk weight for ~~the next four years.~~capital adequacy purposes. We continually monitor interest rate trading ranges and try to focus purchases to times when rates are in the top third of the trading range. ~~Our primary focus in investments continues to be to purchase agency securities with maturities of less than five years and high quality municipal bonds with high coupons.~~ The Bank believes its investment strategy has appropriately mitigated its interest rate risk exposure ~~in the event of rising interest~~if rates continue to rise while providing sufficient cashflows to fund loan growth expected as a result of the ~~acquisition and other lending~~loan growth initiatives.

Management continues to monitor the earnings performance and the liquidity of the investment portfolio on a regular basis. Through active balance sheet management and analysis of the securities portfolio, the Company believes it maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy depositor requirements and various credit needs of its customers.

The Bank's lending efforts have historically focused on north central Pennsylvania and southern New York. With the acquisition of FNB, this focus now includes opportunities in the Lebanon, Lancaster, Schuylkill and Berks County markets of south central Pennsylvania. In addition, in 2016, we opened an office in Winfield, Pennsylvania, ~~that~~which focuses on agricultural and commercial customers in central Pennsylvania. We also opened an office in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania to better serve ~~our~~ Lancaster County customers. In 2017, we have opened a limited office in Narvon, Pennsylvania to increase the Lancaster County footprint. We originate loans primarily through direct loans to our existing customer base, with new customers generated through the strong relationships our new lending teams have with their customers, as well as by referrals from real estate brokers, building contractors, attorneys, accountants, corporate and advisory board members, existing customers and the Bank's website. The Bank offers a variety of loans although historically most of our lending has focused on real estate loans including residential, commercial, agricultural, and construction loans. All lending is governed by a lending policy that is developed and administered by management and approved by the Board of Directors.As of September 30, 2017, the Company had one industry specific loan concentration, within the dairy industry, totaling $134.7 million or 15.0% of total loans.

During the first nine months of ~~2016,~~2017, the primary driver of growth in the loan portfolio was in commercial and agricultural ~~and was primarily driven by the agricultural team hired for the Winfield location~~real estate loans in central Pennsylvania and the agricultural lenders hired for our south central Pennsylvania market. We look at commercial relationships as a way to grow our loan portfolio and obtain deposits from farmers, small businesses and municipalities throughout our market area. The addition ofboth the central and south central Pennsylvania ~~agricultural teams has resulted in an increase in demand for agricultural loans that was recorded in the third quarter and we expect further growth in the fourth quarter of 2016.~~markets. Commercial loan demand is subject to significant competitive pressures, the yield curve, and the ~~strength~~strengthening of the overall national, regional and local economies.

Activity associated with exploration for natural gas remains limited in ~~2016 due~~2017, but has increased slightly compared to ~~the low price of natural gas produced in our area.~~2016. While the Bank has ~~loaned~~lent to companies that service the exploration activities, the Bank has not originated any loans to companies performing the actual drilling and exploration activities. Loans made by the Company are to service industry customers which include trucking companies, stone quarries and other support businesses. We also have originated loans to businesses and individuals for restaurants, hotels and apartment rentals that have been developed and expanded to meet the housing and living needs of the gas workers. Due to our understanding of the industry and its cyclical nature, the loans made for natural gas-related activities have been originated in accordance with specific policies and procedures for lending to these entities, which include ~~lower~~more stringent loan to value thresholds, shortened amortization periods, and expansion of our monitoring of loan concentrations associated with this activity.

Residential real estate loans ~~increased $1.7~~decreased $1.0 million during the first nine months of ~~2016.~~2017. Loan demand for conforming mortgages, which the Company typically sells on the secondary market has increased in ~~2016~~2017 when compared to ~~2015, some of which is attributable to the acquisition of FNB.~~2016. For loans sold on the secondary market, the Company recognizes fee income for servicing these sold loans, which is included in non-interest income. ~~Management continues to build technologies which make it easier and more efficient for customers to choose the Company for their mortgage needs.~~

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which in management's judgment is adequate to absorb probable future loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses is charged against current income. Loans deemed not collectable are charged-off against the allowance while subsequent recoveries increase the allowance. The following table presents an analysis of the allowance for loan losses and non-performing loans and assets as of and for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 ~~2013~~ and ~~2012~~2013 (dollars in thousands):

Management believes it uses the best information available when estimating the allowance for loan losses and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. However, future adjustments could be required if circumstances differ substantially from assumptions and estimates used in making the initial determination. A prolonged downturn in the economy, high unemployment rates, significant changes in the value of collateral and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of non-performing assets, charge-offs, loan loss provisions and reduction in income. Additionally, bank regulatory agencies periodically examine the Bank's allowance for loan losses. The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the allowance for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

On a monthly basis, problem loans are identified and updated primarily using internally prepared past due reports. Based on data surrounding the collection process of each identified loan, the loan may be added or deleted from the monthly watch list. The watch list includes loans graded special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss, as well as additional loans that management may choose to include. Watch list loans are continually monitored going forward until satisfactory conditions exist that allow management to upgrade and remove the loan. In certain cases, loans may be placed on non-accrual status or charged-off based upon management's evaluation of the borrower's ability to pay. All commercial loans, which include commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, state and political subdivision loans and other commercial and agricultural loans, on non-accrual are evaluated quarterly for impairment.

The allowance for loan losses was ~~$8,194,000~~$10,447,000 or ~~1.09%~~1.15% of total loans as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 as compared to ~~$7,106,000~~$8,886,000 or ~~1.02%~~1.11% of loans as of December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. The decrease as a percent of loans in 2015 compared to year end 2014 ~~2013~~ and ~~2012~~2013 is attributable to the increase in loans as part of the acquisition of FNB and the associated purchase accounting adjustments that were applied to the FNB loan portfolio. The ~~$1,088,000~~$1,561,000 increase in the allowance during ~~2016 is a result of a $770,000 provision for~~ the first nine months of ~~2016~~2017 is the result of a $1,740,000 provision and net ~~recoveries~~charge-offs of ~~loans previously charged off of $318,000. In the third quarter of 2016, a loan paid off that included a partial charge off of $463,000, which is the reason for the net recoveries in 2016.~~$179,000. The following table shows the distribution of the allowance for loan losses and the percentage of loans compared to total loans by loan category as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014 ~~2013~~ and ~~2012~~2013 (dollars in thousands):

As a result of previous loss experiences and other risk factors utilized in determining the allowance, the Bank's allocation of the allowance does not directly correspond to the actual balances of the loan portfolio. While commercial and agricultural real estate total ~~45.2%~~53.0% of the loan portfolio, ~~56.2%~~60.1% of the allowance is assigned to this segment of the loan portfolio as these loans have more inherent risks than residential real estate or loans to state and political subdivisions.

Non-performing loans include accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more and non-accrual loans. Interest does not accrue on non-accrual loans. Subsequent cash payments received are applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending upon management's assessment of its ultimate ability to collect principal and interest.

For the nine ~~month period~~months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, we recorded a provision for loan losses of ~~$770,000,~~$1,740,000, which compares to ~~$360,000~~$770,000 for the same ~~time~~ period in ~~2015.~~2016. The increase was primarily attributable to the loan growth experienced during 2017. Non-performing loans increased ~~$3.4 million~~$135,000 or ~~47.8%~~1.1%, from December 31, ~~2015~~2016 to September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, primarily due to one ~~commercial relationship with a balance of $3.7 million that was placed on non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2016.~~customer. Approximately ~~68.1%~~61.6% of the Bank's non-performing loans at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 are associated with the following three customer relationships:

A commercial customer with a total loan relationship of ~~$3.7~~$3.3 million, secured by undeveloped land, stone quarries, equipment and ~~equipment~~the owner's residence, was on non-accrual status as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. The slowdown in the exploration for natural gas has significantly impacted the cash flows of the customer, who provides excavation services and stone for pad construction related to these activities. The collateral was appraised in the first quarter of 2017. Management ~~reviewed~~assessed the collateral ~~information on hand~~value and determined that no specific reserve was required as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

A commercial customer with a total loan relationship of ~~$3.0~~$2.7 million, secured by approximately 160 residential properties, was on non-accrual status as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company and borrower entered into a forbearance agreement to restructure the debt. In July of 2013, the customer filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 and a Trustee was appointed in January of 2014. In 2015, the Trustee decreased the loan payments below what was agreed to in the forbearance agreement. This decrease is currently being litigated in bankruptcy court. As a result of the decrease, the relationship has become more than 90 days past due. ~~In the second quarter of~~During 2016, the Company ~~began the process of appraising~~appraised the underlying collateral. ~~As of September 30, 2016, all the appraisals have been received.~~ The appraisals indicated a slight decrease in collateral values compared to the appraisals ordered for the loan origination, however, the loan is still considered well secured on a loan to value basis. We continue to monitor the bankruptcy proceedings to identify potential changes in the customer's operations and the impact these would have on the loan payments for our loans to the customer and the underlying collateral that supports these loans. As of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, there iswas no specific reserve for this relationship.

~~A commercial~~An agricultural customer with a relationship of approximately ~~$420,000~~$1.3 million, secured by ~~vacant real estate~~land, agricultural buildings and ~~accounts receivable~~equipment, was on non-accrual status as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

Management ~~reviewed~~assessed the collateral value and determined that a specific reserve of ~~$197,000~~$62,000 was required as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

Management of the Bank believes that the allowance for loan losses ~~is adequate~~ as of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017 is adequate, which is based on the following factors:

·	Two loan relationships comprise ~~64.1%~~50.6% of the non-performing loan balance, whose debt is considered well collateralized and has no specific reserves as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017.

·	Net and gross charge-offs ~~returned to their~~remain low ~~historical rate of .03%~~ in ~~2015. Furthermore in 2016, we have experienced~~2017 after a net recovery ~~of previously charged off loans.~~in 2016.

·	Real estate values in the Bank's primary market areas have only decreased slightly with the decrease in the market price for natural gas.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company holds bank owned life insurance policies to offset future employee benefit costs. These policies provide the Bank with an asset that generates earnings to partially offset the current costs of benefits, and eventually (at the death of the insureds) provide partial recovery of cash outflows associated with the benefits. As of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, the cash surrender value of the life insurance was ~~$26.1~~$26.7 million and ~~$25.5~~$26.2 million, respectively. The change in cash surrender value, net of purchases and amounts acquired through acquisitions, is recognized in the results of operations. The amounts recorded as non-interest income totaled ~~$515,000~~$499,000 and ~~$464,000~~$515,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015,~~2016, respectively. The Company evaluates annually the risks associated with the life insurance policies, including limits on the amount of coverage and an evaluation of the various carriers' credit ratings.

The Company agreements that were purchased directly from insurance companies are structured so that any death benefits received from a policy while the insured person is an active employee of the Bank will be split with the beneficiary of the policy. Under these agreements, the employee's beneficiary will be entitled to receive 50% of the net amount at risk from the proceeds. The net amount at risk is the total death benefit payable less the cash surrender value of the policy as of the date of death. The policies acquired as part of the acquisition of FNB provide a fixed split-dollar benefit for the beneficiaries estate, which is dependent on several factors including whether the covered individual was a Director of FNB or an employee of FNB and their salary level. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was a liability of $576,000 and $569,000, respectively, for the obligation under the split-dollar benefit agreements.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment decreased ~~$120,000~~$406,000 to ~~$17.1~~$16.6 million as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 from December 31, ~~2015.~~2016. This occurred primarily as a result of normal depreciation expense recorded in the first nine months of ~~2016.~~2017.

The rates paid on certificates of deposit by the Company remain competitive with rates paid by our competition. As of September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, the Bank did not have any outstanding brokered certificates of deposit.

Borrowed Funds

Borrowed funds ~~increased $10.2~~decreased $6.0 million during the first nine months of ~~2016.~~2017. The ~~increase~~decrease was the result of ~~an additional $11.1~~repaying $8.4 million of overnight advances from the FHLB ~~that were utilized to fund~~as a result of the ~~Company's loan growth. Additionally,~~deposit growth and investment portfolio cashflows. Offsetting this, there was ~~a decrease~~an increase of approximately ~~$917,000~~$2.3 million in the balances outstanding under repurchase agreements. The Bank's current strategy for borrowings is to consider terms and structures to manage interest rate risk and liquidity in a potential rising interest rate environment. The Company's daily cash requirements or short-term investments are primarily met by using the financial instruments available through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.

In December 2003, the Company formed a special purpose entity, Citizens Financial Statutory Trust I ("the Entity"), to issue $7,500,000 of floating rate obligated mandatory redeemable securities as part of a pooled offering. The rate is determined quarterly based on the 3 month LIBOR, plus 2.80%. The Entity may redeem the securities, in whole or in part, at face value at any time. The Company borrowed the proceeds of the issuance from the Entity in December 2003 in the form of a $7,500,000 note payable, which is included within "Borrowed Funds" in the liabilities section of the Company's balance sheet. Under current accounting rules, the Company's minority interest in the Entity was recorded at the initial investment amount and is included in the other assets section of the balance sheet. The Entity is not consolidated as part of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stockholders' Equity

We evaluate stockholders' equity in relation to total assets and the risks associated with those assets. The greater the capital resource, the more likely a corporation will meet its cash obligations and absorb unforeseen losses. For these reasons, capital adequacy has been, and will continue to be, of paramount importance. As such, the Company has implemented policies and procedures to ensure that it has adequate capital levels. As part of this process, we routinely stress test our capital levels and identify potential risk and alternative sources of additional capital should the need arise.

Total stockholders' equity was ~~$125.6~~$129.9 million at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 compared to ~~$119.8~~$123.3 million at December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, an increase of ~~$5.8~~$6.6 million or ~~4.8%~~5.4%. Excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, stockholders' equity increased ~~$4.2~~$6.4 million, or ~~3.5%~~5.1%. The Company purchased ~~35,603~~12,453 shares of treasury stock at a weighted average cost of ~~$48.09~~$51.82 per share. The Company reissued ~~1,608~~12,383 shares as part of the dividend reinvestment program at a weighted average cost of ~~$47.40~~$50.88 per share ~~3,650~~and 4,212 shares as part of the restricted stock program at a weighted average cost of $47.84 per share and 1,016 shares as part of an incentive program at a weighted average cost of $47.65 per share. The Company reissued 372 shares as service awards for Company employees, at a weighted average cost of $47.95 per share. The Company reissued 5,522 shares through the employee stock ownership plan, at a weighted average cost of $47.82. Finally, 500 shares of treasury stock were reissued to members of executive management as additional compensation during 2016 at a weighted average of $48.00$50.33 per share. In the first nine months of ~~2016,~~2017, the Company had net income of ~~$9.5~~$10.4 million and declared cash dividends of ~~$4.2~~$4.4 million, or ~~$1.25~~$1.24 per share, representing a cash dividend payout ratio of ~~44.2%~~41.8%. We also issued a ~~one~~five percent stock dividend to the Company's shareholders, which had a market value of ~~$1.6~~$9.0 million at its issuance.

All of the Company's investment securities are classified as available-for-sale, making this portion of the Company's balance sheet more sensitive to the changing market value of investments. As a result of changes in the interest rate environment and the defined benefit plan obligations, accumulated other comprehensive income ~~associated with the change in investment securities~~ increased ~~$1.6 million~~$264,000 from December 31, ~~2015.~~2016.

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory-and possibly additional discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company and Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under U.S. GAAP, regulatory reporting requirements, and regulatory capital standards. The Company and Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulatory capital standards to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined) to total risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, that the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015,~~2016, the Company and Bank are categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table.There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

The Company and Bank's computed risk‑based capital ratios are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, and letters of credit, are issued to meet customer financing needs. The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk was as follows at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~2016 (in thousands):

	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015		September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016

	$	195,186	$	156,885	$	236,538	$	221,460

We also offer limited overdraft protection as a non-contractual courtesy which is available to demand deposit accounts in good standing. Overdraft charges as a result of ATM withdrawals and one time point of sale (non-recurring) transactions require prior approval of the customer. The non-contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at September 30, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~2016 was ~~$9,102,000~~$9,244,000 and ~~$12,485,000,~~$9,124,000, respectively. The Company reserves the right to discontinue this service without prior notice.

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of the Company's ability to efficiently meet normal cash flow requirements of both borrowers and depositors. To maintain proper liquidity, we use funds management policies, which include liquidity target ratios, along with our investment policies to assure we can meet our financial obligations to depositors, credit customers and stockholders. Liquidity is needed to meet depositors' withdrawal demands, extend credit to meet borrowers' needs, provide funds for normal operating expenses and cash dividends, and to fund other capital expenditures.

Cash generated by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities influences liquidity management. Our Company's historical activity in this area can be seen in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The most important source of funds is core deposits. Repayment of principal on outstanding loans and cash flows created from the investment portfolio are also factors in liquidity management. Other sources of funding include brokered certificates of deposit and the sale of loans or investments, if needed.

The Company's use of funds is shown in the investing activity section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, where the net loan activity is presented. Other ~~significant~~ uses of funds include purchasing stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh, as well as capital expenditures. Capital expenditures (including software purchases), during the first nine months of ~~2016~~2017 were ~~$500,000~~$179,000 compared to ~~$633,000~~$500,000 during the same time period in ~~2015.~~2016.

Short-term debt from the FHLB supplements the Bank's availability of funds. The Bank achieves liquidity primarily from temporary or short‑term investments in the Federal Reserve and the FHLB. The Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB of approximately ~~$321.6~~$432.5 million, of which ~~$29.3~~$49.5 million was outstanding at September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. Additionally, we have a Federal funds line totaling $10.0 million from a third party bank at market rates. This line is not drawn upon. We also have a borrower in custody line with the Federal Reserve Bank of approximately $4.5 million, which also is not drawn upon as of September 30, ~~2016.~~2017. The Company continues to evaluate its liquidity needs and as necessary finds additional sources.

Citizens Financial Services, Inc. is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, Citizens Financial Services, Inc. is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its shareholders. Citizens Financial also has repurchased shares of its common stock. Citizens ~~Financial's~~Financial Services, Inc.'s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. Both federal and state laws impose restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. In particular, the Bank may not, as a state-chartered bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System, declare a dividend without approval of the Federal Reserve, unless the dividend to be declared by the Bank's Board of Directors does not exceed the total of: (i) the Bank's net profits for the current year to date, plus (ii) its retained net profits for the preceding two current years, less any required transfers to surplus. The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have formal and informal policies which provide that insured banks and bank holding companies should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings, with some exceptions. The Prompt Corrective Action Rules, described above, further limit the ability of banks to pay dividends, because banks which are not classified as well capitalized or adequately capitalized may not pay dividends and no dividend may be paid which would make the Bank undercapitalized after the dividend. At September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, Citizens Financial Services, Inc. on(on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of ~~$3.6~~$4.1 million.

Interest Rate and Market Risk Management

The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to maintain an appropriate balance between the stable growth of income and the risks associated with maximizing income through interest sensitivity imbalances and the market value risk of assets and liabilities.

Because of the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk and, because we have no trading portfolio, we are not subject to trading risk. Currently, the Company has equity securities that represent only ~~0.8%~~0.7% of its investment portfolio and, therefore, equity risk is not significant.

The primary components of interest-sensitive assets include adjustable-rate loans and investments, loan repayments, investment maturities and money market investments. The primary components of interest-sensitive liabilities include maturing certificates of deposit, IRA certificates of deposit and short-term borrowings. Savings deposits, NOW accounts and money market investor accounts are considered core deposits and are not short-term interest sensitive (except for the top-tier money market investor accounts, typically help by local governments, which are paid current market interest rates).

Gap analysis, one of the methods used by us to analyze interest rate risk, does not necessarily show the precise impact of specific interest rate movements on our Company's net interest income because the re-pricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competitive and other pressures. In addition, assets and liabilities within the same period may, in fact, be repaid at different times and at different rate levels. We have not experienced the kind of earnings volatility that might be indicated from gap analysis.

The Company currently uses a computer simulation model to better measure the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income. We use the model as part of our risk management and asset liability management processes that we believe will effectively identify, measure, and monitor the Company's risk exposure. In this analysis, the Company examines the results of movements in interest rates with additional assumptions made concerning prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and mortgage securities. Shock scenarios, which assume a parallel shift in interest rates and is instantaneous, typically have the greatest impact on net interest income. The following is a rate shock analysis and the impact on net interest income as of September 30, ~~2016~~2017 (dollars in thousands):

Change In % Change In
Prospective One-Year Prospective Prospective
Changes in Rates Net Interest Income Net Interest Income Net Interest Income

-100 Shock $ 36,642 $ (777 ) (2.08 )

			Change In			% Change In
	Prospective One-Year		Prospective			Prospective
Changes in Rates	Net Interest Income		Net Interest Income			Net Interest Income
-100 Shock	$	41,024	$	(957	)		(2.28	)

+300 Shock		38,708		(3,273	)		(7.80	)
+400 Shock		37,428		(4,553	)		(10.85	)

The model makes estimates, at each level of interest rate change, regarding cash flows from principal repayments on loans and mortgage backed securities, call activity of other investment securities, and deposit selection, re-pricing and maturity structure. Because of these assumptions, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in the calculated projected change on net interest income. Additionally, the changes above do not necessarily represent the level of change under which management would undertake specific measures to realign its portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of change. It should be noted that the changes in net interest income noted above are in line with Company policy for interest rate risk.

Item 3-Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

In the normal course of conducting business activities, the Company is exposed to market risk, principally interest rate risk, through the operations of its banking subsidiary. Interest rate risk arises from market driven fluctuations in interest rates that affect cash flows, income, expense and values of financial instruments and was discussed previously in this Form 10-Q. Management and a committee of the Board of Directors manage interest rate risk (see also "Interest Rate and Market Risk Management").

Item 4-Control and Procedures

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the SEC (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2016~~2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II ‑ OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 ‑ Legal Proceedings
