EVANS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 AND ~~NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,~~ 2021 ~~AND 2020~~

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies followed by Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a financial holding company, and its 2 direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Evans Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s subsidiaries, Evans National Leasing, Inc. (“ENL”), and Evans National Holding Corp. (“ENHC”); and (ii) Evans National Financial Services, LLC (“ENFS”), and ENFS’s subsidiary, The Evans Agency, LLC (“TEA”), and TEA’s subsidiaries, Frontier Claims Services, Inc. (“FCS”) and ENB Associates Inc. (“ENBA”), in the preparation of the accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with general practice within the industries in which it operates. Except as the context otherwise requires, the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company.”

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) establishes changes to GAAP in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs when they are issued by FASB. ASUs adopted by the Company during the current fiscal year are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

The results of operations for the ~~nine~~three month period ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 (the “10-K”). There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as disclosed in Note 1 to the 10-K.

‎

~~COVID-19 – Risks & Uncertainties~~

The Company’s operations and financial results have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused significant economic disruption throughout the United States as state and local governments issued stay at home orders and temporarily closed non-essential businesses. The full financial impact from the pandemic is unknown at this time, however prolonged disruption may adversely impact several industries within the Company's geographic footprint and impair the ability of the Company’s customers to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. This could cause the Company to experience a material adverse effect on business operations, asset valuations, financial condition and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on the Company’s intangible assets, investments, loans and mortgage servicing rights.

2. ~~ACQUISITIONS~~

On May 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of FSB Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation and the parent holding company of Fairport Savings Bank (“FSB”). On that date, FSB was merged into Evans Bank, a wholly owned banking subsidiary of the Company. At the time of closing, FSB had $321.7 million in total assets, including $272.1 million in net loans receivable and $21.4 million in securities, and $293.1 million in total liabilities, including $237.7 million in deposits and $50.6 million in borrowings. FSB operated 5 banking offices in New York at the date of acquisition. After application of the election, allocation and proration procedures contained in the merger agreement, the Company paid $17.1 million in cash and issued 422,475 shares of Evans Bancorp, Inc. common stock in exchange for all of the shares of common stock of FSB Bancorp, Inc. outstanding at the time of the acquisition. The $11.7 million fair value of the shares issued as part of the consideration paid for FSB was determined on the basis of the closing market price of the Company’s shares on April 30, 2020.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Management engaged a third-party specialist to develop the fair value estimate of certain FSB’s assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible were recorded at their fair values as of May 1, 2020. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition of goodwill of $1.8 million and a core deposit intangible of $0.2 million. Goodwill arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the operations of the companies and is not tax deductible.

~~Explanation of certain fair value related adjustments:~~

~~(a)Represents the fair value adjustments on investment securities.~~

~~(b)Represents the fair value adjustments on the net book value of loans, which includes an interest rate mark and credit mark adjustment and the write-off of deferred fees/costs and premiums.~~

~~(c)Represents the elimination of FSB’s allowance for loan losses.~~

~~(d)~~Represents the fair value adjustments to reflect the fair value of land and buildings and premises and equipment, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets.

~~(e)~~Represents the intangible assets recorded to reflect the fair value of core deposits. The core deposit asset was recorded as an identifiable intangible asset and will be amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated average life of the deposit base.

~~(f)Represents the fair value adjustments on operating lease right of use assets.~~

~~(g)~~Represents an adjustment to other assets acquired. The largest adjustment was to net deferred tax assets resulting from the fair value adjustments related to the acquired assets, liabilities assumed and identifiable intangible assets recorded.

~~(h)Represents fair value adjustments on time deposits, which will be treated as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining term of the time deposits.~~

~~(i)Represents the fair value adjustments on FHLB borrowings, which will be treated as a decrease to interest expense over the life of the borrowings.~~

~~(j)Represents the fair value adjustments on operating lease liabilities.~~

~~(k)Represents an adjustment to other liabilities assumed.~~

‎

~~Table of Contents~~

The fair value of loans acquired from FSB were estimated using cash flow projections based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted by estimating future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. There was no carryover of FSB’s allowance for loan losses associated with the loans that were acquired, as the loans were initially recorded at fair value on the date of the FSB merger.

The core deposit intangible asset recognized is being amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years and the amortization is based on dollar weighted deposit runoff on an annualized basis.

~~Goodwill is not amortized for book purposes; however, it is reviewed at least annually for impairment and is not deductible for tax purposes.~~

The fair value of land and buildings was estimated using appraisals. Acquired equipment was not material. Buildings are amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately 39 years. Improvements and equipment are amortized or depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging up to 10 years.

The fair value of retail demand and interest bearing deposit accounts was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits was estimated by discounting the contractual future cash flows using market rates offered for time deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Other borrowed funds include borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”). The fair value of these borrowings was estimated by discounting the contractual future cash flows using FHLB rates offered of similar maturities.

Direct acquisition and other charges incurred in connection with the FSB merger were expensed as incurred and totaled $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These expenses were recorded in merger-related expense on the consolidated statements of income. There were 0 merger-related expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The following table presents selected unaudited pro forma financial information reflecting the FSB merger assuming it was completed as of January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial results of the combined companies had the FSB merger actually been completed at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it indicate future results for any other interim or full year period. The unaudited pro forma information is based on the actual financial statements of the Company for the periods presented, and on the actual financial statements of FSB for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Management has assessed the securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and determined the decline in fair value below amortized cost to be temporary. In making this determination, management considered the period of time the securities were in a loss position, the percentage decline in comparison to the securities’ amortized cost, and the financial condition of the issuer (primarily government or government-sponsored enterprises). In addition, management does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost. Management believes the decline in fair value is primarily related to market interest rate fluctuations and not to the credit deterioration of the individual issuers.

The Company has 0t recorded any other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and did 0t record any OTTI charges during ~~2020.~~2021. The credit worthiness of the Company’s securities portfolio is largely reliant on the ability of U.S. government sponsored agencies such as Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), and municipalities throughout New York State to meet their obligations. In addition, dysfunctional markets could materially alter the liquidity, interest rate, and pricing risk of the portfolio. The stable past performance is not a guarantee for similar performance of the Company’s securities portfolio in future periods.

On March 27, ~~2020~~2021 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) established a loan program administered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), referred to as the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. ~~These loans carry a fixed rate~~The outstanding balance of 1.00% and a term of two years (loans made before June 5, 2020) or five years (loans made on or after June 5, 2020), if not forgiven, in whole or in part. Payments are deferred until either the date on which the SBA remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds to the lender or the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness within that 10 month period. At September 30, 2021, the Company had originated PPP loans ~~totaling $298~~of $10 million and $25 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are included in commercial and industrial loans. ~~As of September 30, 2021, $222 million in PPP loans had received SBA forgiveness.~~ PPP loans did not impact the Company’s allowance for loan losses as a result of the SBA guarantees. Fees collected from the SBA for these loans ~~totaled $12.4 million as of September 30, 2021. These fees~~ are deferred and amortized into interest income over the contractual period of the loan. Upon SBA forgiveness or sale of a PPP loan, unamortized fees are then recognized into interest income. ~~In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 the total amount of~~ PPP fees recognized into interest income ~~was $2.1~~were $0.5 million and ~~$6.3~~$1.7 million ~~respectively. PPP fees recognized into interest income during~~in the three ~~and nine~~ month periods ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company monitors the credit risk in its loan portfolio by reviewing certain credit quality indicators (“CQI”). The primary CQI for the commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial portfolios is the individual loan’s credit risk rating. The following list provides a description of the credit risk ratings that are used internally by the Bank when assessing the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses:

Acceptable or better

Watch

Special Mention

Substandard

Doubtful

Loss

“Special mention” and “substandard” loans are weaker credits with a higher risk of loss and are categorized as “criticized” assets.

The Company’s consumer loans, including residential mortgages and home equities, are not individually risk rated or reviewed in the Company’s loan review process. Unlike commercial customers, consumer loan customers are not required to provide the Company with updated financial information. Consumer loans also carry smaller balances. Given the lack of updated information after the initial underwriting of the loan and small size of individual loans, the Company uses delinquency status as the primary credit quality indicator for consumer loans. However, once a consumer loan is identified as impaired, it is individually evaluated for impairment.

The following tables provide data, at the class level, of credit quality indicators of certain loans for the dates specified:

The Company continues to evaluate its loan portfolio in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its clients. During 2020 the Company reclassified all commercial loans that received a deferral into the watch or criticized categories. The Company reassesses these classifications as the clients return to making payments as contracted. During the third quarter of 2020,2021, the Company identified a well-defined weakness in the hotel industry and classified the loans to clients within that industry as substandard. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company’s hotel loan portfolio totaled approximately ~~$79~~$75 million, of which ~~the Company upgraded $20~~$55 million ~~out~~or 5% of ~~the criticized loan category and $2.2 million~~total commercial loans was classified as ~~nonaccrual during the third quarter of 2021. At September 30, 2021~~

Any TDR that is placed on non-accrual status is not reverted back to accruing status until the borrower makes timely payments as contracted for at least six months and future collection under the revised terms is probable. All of the Company’s restructurings were allowed in an effort to maximize its ability to collect on loans where borrowers were experiencing financial difficulty.

The reserve for a TDR is based upon the present value of the future expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or upon the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell, if the loan is deemed collateral dependent. This reserve methodology is used because all TDR loans are considered impaired.

The Company’s TDRs have various agreements that involve deferral of principal payments, or interest-only payments, for a period (usually 12 months or less) to allow the borrower time to improve cash flow or sell the property. Other common concessions leading to the designation of a TDR are lines of credit that are termed-out and/or extensions of maturities at rates that are less than the prevailing market rates given the risk profile of the borrower.

In late March ~~2020,~~2021, federal banking regulators issued guidance that modifications made to a borrower affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental shutdown orders do not need to be identified as a TDR if the loan was current at the time a modification plan was implemented. The CARES Act also addressed COVID-19 related modifications and specified that such modifications made on loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are not TDRs. The Company had applied this guidance and during 2020 had made 381 modifications of commercial loans with principal balances totaling $368 million, and approximately 298 modifications of consumer

The general practice of the Bank is to work with borrowers so that they are able to repay their loan in full. If a borrower continues to be delinquent or cannot meet the terms of a TDR and the loan is determined to be uncollectible, the loan will be charged-off to its collateral value. A loan is considered in default when the loan is 90 days past due. Loans which were classified as TDRs during the previous 12 months which defaulted during the three month period ended March 31, 2022 and ~~nine month periods ended September 30,~~ 2021 ~~and 2020~~ were not material.

5.4. COMMON EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

The common stock per share information is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. For the three ~~and nine~~ month ~~periods~~period ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had an average of ~~57,705~~52,766 and ~~52,128~~41,837 dilutive shares outstanding, respectively. ~~The Company had an average of 18,955 and 35,564 dilutive shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020.~~

Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and not included in calculating diluted earnings per share. For the three ~~and nine~~ month ~~periods~~period ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021 there was an average of ~~39,390~~21,560 and ~~80,614~~81,770 potentially anti-dilutive shares outstanding, respectively, that were not included in calculating diluted earnings per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. ~~For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020, there was an average of 150,783 and 81,770 potentially anti-dilutive shares outstanding.~~

7.6. NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COSTS

On January 31, 2008, the Bank froze its defined benefit pension plan. The plan covered substantially all Bank employees. The plan provides benefits that are based on the employees’ compensation and years of service. Under the freeze, eligible employees will receive, at retirement, the benefits already earned through January 31, 2008, but have not accrued any additional benefits since then. As a result, service cost is no longer incurred.

The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing prior service cost and unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual expense and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortization method the Bank used recognized the prior service cost and net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.

The Bank also maintains a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan covering certain members of the Company’s senior management. The Bank uses an actuarial method of amortizing unrecognized net gains or losses which result from actual expense and assumptions being different than those that are projected. The amortization method the Bank uses recognizes the net gains or losses over the average remaining service period of active employees.

The following table presents the net periodic cost for the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan and supplemental executive retirement plan for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 and ~~nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:~~2021:

8.7. REVENUE RECOGNITION OF NON-INTEREST INCOME

A description of the Company’s material revenue streams in non-interest income accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

Insurance Service and Fees: Insurance services revenue relates to various revenue streams from services provided by TEA and the Bank:

TEA earns commission revenue from selling commercial and personal property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance as well as employee benefits solutions to commercial customers.

TEA has agreements with various insurance companies to sell policies to customers on behalf of the carriers. The performance obligation for TEA is to sell annual P&C policies to commercial customers and consumers. This performance obligation is met when a new policy is sold or when an existing policy renews. The policies are generally one year terms. In the agreements with the respective insurance companies, a commission rate is agreed upon. The commission is recognized at the time of the sale of the policy or when a policy renews.

TEA has signed contracts with insurance carriers that enable TEA to sell benefit plans to commercial customers on behalf of the insurance carriers. The performance obligation for TEA is to sell the plans to commercial customers. After the initial sale when the customer signs an agreement to purchase the offered benefit plan, the performance obligation is met each month when a customer continues utilizing benefit plans from the carrier. The customer does not commit to a specific length of time with the carrier. In the agreements with the respective insurance companies, a commission rate is agreed upon. Revenue is recognized each month when the customer continues with the benefit plan sold by TEA.

TEA also earns contingent profit sharing revenue. The insurance companies measure the loss ratio for TEA’s customers and pay TEA according to how profitable TEA customers are.

TEA has signed written agreements with insurance carriers that document payouts to TEA based on the loss ratios of its customers. The performance obligation for TEA is to maintain a customer base with loss ratios below the agreed upon thresholds. In the contracts with the insurance companies, payout rates based on loss ratios are documented. The consideration is variable as loss ratios vary based on customer experience. TEA’s performance obligation is over the course of the year as its customers’ performance with insurance carriers is measured throughout the year as losses occur. Due to the variable nature of contingent profit sharing revenue, TEA will accrue contingent profit sharing revenue throughout the year based on recent historical results. As loss events occur and overall performance becomes known to TEA, accrual adjustments will be made until the cash is ultimately received.

Financial services commission revenue from the Bank related to wealth management such as life insurance, annuities, and mutual funds sales is also included in the “insurance service and fees” line of the income statement.

The Company earns wealth management fees from its contracts with customers for certain financial services. Fees that are transaction-based are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed. Other related services provided include financial planning services and the fees the Bank earns are recognized when the services are rendered.

Insurance claims services revenue is recorded at FCS.

FCS has signed agreements with insurance companies to perform claims services including investigative and adjustment services related to residential and commercial lines. The performance obligation is for FCS to investigate the insurance claims and inspecting the damage to determine the extent of the insurance company’s liability. FCS is paid based on time and materials expended to investigate the claim. The rates paid are determined in the agreement between FCS and the respective insurance companies. Upon completion of its claims inspection work, FCS bills the insurance company for services rendered and recognizes the revenue earned. FCS discontinued operations on December 31, 2021.

9.8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is defined in ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

There are three levels of inputs to fair value measurement:


				Level 1 inputs are quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
				Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
				Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.

Observable market data should be used when available.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS

The following table presents, for each of the fair-value hierarchy levels as defined in this footnote, those financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively:

Securities available for sale

Fair values for available for sale securities are determined using independent pricing services and market-participating brokers. The ~~Company’s independent~~Company utilizes a third-party for these pricing ~~service~~services. The third-party utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the third-party service provider’s evaluated pricing applications apply information as applicable through processes, such as benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to prepare evaluations. In addition, our third-party pricing service provider uses model processes, such as the Option Adjusted Spread model, ~~are used~~ to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. The models and the process take into account market convention. For each asset class, a team of evaluators gathers information from market sources and integrates relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing applications and models. The ~~Company’s service provider~~third-party, at times, may ~~occasionally~~ determine that it

does not have sufficient verifiable information to value a particular security. In these cases the Company will utilize valuations from another pricing service.

On a quarterly basis the Company reviews changes, as submitted by our third-party pricing service provider, in the market value of its ~~security~~securities portfolio. Individual changes in valuations are reviewed for consistency with general interest rate movements and any known credit concerns for specific securities. Additionally, on a quarterly basis the Company has its entire ~~security~~securities portfolio priced by a second pricing service to determine consistency with another market evaluator. If, ~~during~~on the Company’s review or ~~when~~in comparing with another servicer, a material difference between pricing evaluations were to exist, the Company ~~would~~may submit an inquiry to ~~the~~our third-party pricing service provider regarding the data used to value a particular security. If the Company determines it has market information that would support a different valuation than ~~the initial~~our third-party service provider’s evaluation it can submit a challenge for a change to that security’s valuation.

Securities available for sale are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as the valuation provided by the third-party provider uses observable market data.

~~Mortgage servicing rights~~

Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company obtains the fair value of the MSRs using a third-party pricing provider. The provider determines the fair value by discounting projected net servicing cash flows of the remaining servicing portfolio. The valuation model used by the provider considers market loan prepayment predictions and other economic factors which management considers to be significant unobservable inputs. The fair value of MSRs is mostly affected by changes in mortgage interest rates since rate changes cause the loan prepayment acceleration factors to increase or decrease. MSRs are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuation is model driven and primarily based on unobservable inputs.

~~The following table summarizes the changes in fair value for MSRs:~~

Impaired loans

Collateral dependent ~~impaired~~ loans

carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations of the allowance for credit losses. The Company evaluates and values collateral dependent impaired loans at the time the loan is identified as impaired, and the fair values of such loans are estimated using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Each loan’s collateral value has a unique appraisal and management’s discount of the value is based on factors unique to each impaired loan. The significant unobservable input in determining the fair value is management’s subjective discount on appraisals of the collateral securing the ~~loan.~~loan, which ranges from 10%-50%. Fair value is estimated based on the value of the collateral securing these loans. Collateral may consist of real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable and the value of these assets is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, estimated costs to sell, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s business.

The Company has an appraisal policy in which appraisals are obtained upon a commercial loan being downgraded on the Company’s internal loan rating scale to a special mention or a substandard depending on the amount of the loan, the type of loan and the type of collateral. All impaired commercial loans are graded substandard or worse on the internal loan rating scale. For consumer loans, the Company obtains appraisals when a loan becomes 90 days past due or is determined to be impaired, whichever occurs first. Subsequent to the downgrade or reaching 90 days past due, if the loan remains outstanding and impaired for at least one year more, management may require another follow-up appraisal. Between receipts of updated appraisals, if necessary, management may perform an internal valuation based on any known changing conditions in the marketplace such as sales of similar properties, a change in the condition of the collateral, or feedback from local appraisers. Collateral dependent impaired loans had a ~~recorded investment~~gross value of ~~$7.6~~$3.7 million, with an allowance for loan loss of ~~$0.5~~$0.1 million, at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared with ~~$8.8~~$5.0 million and ~~$1.3~~$0.4 million, respectively, at December 31, ~~2020.~~

~~11.~~10. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities, which arise in the normal course of business, and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A summary of the Bank’s commitments and contingent liabilities is as follows:



	September 30,		December 31,		March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020		2022		2021
	(in thousands)				(in thousands)

Commitments to extend credit	$	379,736	$	359,152	$	372,964	$	394,953
Standby letters of credit		4,764		3,803		4,353		4,636
Total	$	384,500	$	362,955	$	377,317	$	399,589

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit include some exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer. The Bank’s credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because they may expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent cash requirements of the Bank. The Bank did 0t incur any losses on its commitments and did 0t record a reserve for its commitments during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2021~~2022 or during ~~2020.~~2021.

Certain lending commitments for construction residential mortgage loans are considered derivative instruments under the guidelines of GAAP. The changes in the fair value of these commitments, due to interest rate risk, are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as the fair value of these derivatives is not considered to be material.

~~12.~~11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASUs adopted by the Company during the current fiscal year are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures. The following standard will be adopted in a future period. ASUs not listed below are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments – Current GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Both financial institutions and users of their financial statements expressed concern that current GAAP restricts the ability to record credit losses that are expected, but do not yet meet the “probable” threshold. The main objective of this ASU (commonly known as the Current Expected Credit Loss Impairment Model, or CECL, in the industry) is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in CECL replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company is developing its approach for determining expected credit losses under the new guidance, including the licensing of new software and the development of processes to track loan performance. The total impact of CECL to the Company’s financial statements is unknown but may be material. On October 16, 2019, the FASB affirmed its decision to amend the effective date for the amendments in CECL for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company intends to adopt CECL effective January 1, 2023.

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures – This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") in ASC 310-40, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors" for entities that have adopted the CECL model introduced by ASU 2016-13. ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost". The Company intends to adopt ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this report, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “seek,” and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies, statements regarding the asset quality of the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, and estimates of the Company’s risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: adverse changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market ~~areas, that are worse than expected;~~areas; increased competition among depository or other financial institutions; inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce the Company’s margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; changes in laws or government regulations affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees, monetary policy, and capital requirements; the Company’s ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired entities; loan losses in excess of the Company’s allowance for loan losses; changes in accounting pronouncements and practices, as adopted by financial institution regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; the impact of such changes in accounting pronouncements and practices being greater than anticipated; the ability to realize the benefit of deferred tax assets; changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; changes in the Company’s organization, compensation and benefit plans; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, in particular the “Risk Factors” discussed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s control and are difficult to predict.

Because of these and other uncertainties, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking information, whether as a result of new, updated information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

The Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that follows includes comparisons to the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 as well as the trailing quarter ended ~~June 30, 2021 and balances as of~~ December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Information with respect to the trailing quarter ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 is included in the Company’s ~~Quarterly~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-Q~~10-K for the ~~quarter~~year ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.

~~Impact of COVID-19~~PANDEMIC UPDATE

The ~~Company's operations and financial results have been substantially influenced by the~~ COVID-19 pandemic since the United States issued a state of emergency on March 13, 2020. The most notable financial impact to our results of operations was a higher provision for loan losses during 2020, primarily reflecting the substantial increase in economic uncertainty and the resultant potential for increased credit losses in future periods as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CARES Act established the PPP loan program which is administered through the SBA. PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and are forgivable, in whole or in part, if the proceeds are used in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and a term of two years (loans made before June 5, 2020) or five years (loans made on or after June 5, 2020), if not forgiven in whole. Payments are deferred until either the date on which the SBA remits the amount of forgiveness proceeds to the lender or the date that is 10 months after the last day of the covered period if the borrower does not apply for forgiveness within that 10 month period. The Company originated PPP loans totaling $203 million during 2020 and $95 million during the first nine months of 2021, which are included in commercial and industrial loans.

Fees collected from the SBA for the PPP loans totaled $12.4 million. These fees are deferred and amortized into interest income over the contractual period of the loan. Upon SBA forgiveness or sale of a PPP loan, unamortized fees are then recognized into interest income. As of September 30, 2021, PPP loans totaling $222 million had received SBA forgiveness. In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 the total amount of PPP fees recognized into interest income was $2.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively. PPP fees recognized into interest income during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 were $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. PPP loans did not impact the Company’s allowance for loan losses as a result of the SBA guarantees.

~~Table of Contents~~

During 2020, federal banking regulators issued guidance providing that qualifying modifications made to a borrower affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental shutdown orders do no need to be identified as a TDR. During 2020, the Company had applied this guidance and had modified approximately 381 commercial loans with principal balances totaling $368 million, and approximately 298 consumer loans with principal balances totaling $37 million. Modifications included payment deferrals (including maturity extensions), fee waivers and covenant waivers. Loans in COVID-19 modification related deferral periods at September 30, 2021 were not material.

The Company expects that the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have a significant impact on our business. In particular, it is anticipated that a significant portion of the Company’s borrowers in the hotel industry will continue to endurehas caused significant economic ~~distress, which~~dislocation that has ~~caused,~~affected, and may continue to ~~cause, them to draw on their existing lines~~affect, the business, financial condition, and results of ~~credit and adversely affect their ability to repay existing indebtedness, and may adversely impact the value~~operations of ~~collateral. During 2020,~~ the Company ~~identified a well-defined weakness~~and its clients. The pandemic caused changes in the ~~hotel industry as a result~~behavior of clients, businesses, and their employees, including illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in commercial activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment, and overall economic and financial market instability. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the pandemic, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the pandemic ~~and classified the loans to clients within that industry as substandard. At September 30, 2021,~~on the Company’s ~~hotel loan portfolio totaled approximately $79 million. During~~business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including the ~~third quarter~~extent to which the outbreak can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be fully reopened. The pandemic may adversely impact several industries within our geographic footprint and impair the ability of ~~2021,~~the Company’s clients to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. This could cause the Company ~~upgraded $20 million~~to experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of the hotel portfolio balance and downgraded $2.2 million into non-performing, due to payment performance and current operational results. Although the remaining portfolio has shown improvement and have paid all amounts due, the Company will validate sustained performance on these loans before upgrading.

~~Future government actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccination mandates, may affect the Company’s workforce, human capital resources and infrastructure.~~operations.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments, and as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 – “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other Notes to the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are presented in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and how those values are determined.

~~Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline~~The more significant areas in which management of the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) represents management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses ~~is considered a critical accounting estimate because it~~ requires significant judgment on the part of management and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, ~~and~~ consideration of current economic trends and conditions, and other qualitative and quantitative factors, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. ~~The~~Qualitative loss factors are applied to each portfolio segment with the amounts determined by historical loan ~~portfolio also represents~~charge-offs of a peer group of similar-sized regional banks.

and changes in those factors and inputs considered may not occur at the same rate and may not be consistent across all product types. Additionally, changes in factors and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.

~~Business Combinations~~In estimating the ALLL on loans, management considers the sensitivity of the model and significant judgments and assumptions that could result in an amount that is materially different from management’s estimate. Given the concentration of ALLL allocation to the total commercial portfolio and the significant judgments made by management in deriving the qualitative loss factors, management analyzed the impact that changes in judgments could have. The range of impact on the ALLL allocated to the total commercial loan portfolio was between a reduction of $11.7 million and an increase of $9.9 million at March 31, 2022. The sensitivity and related range of impact is a hypothetical analysis and is not intended to represent management’s judgments or assumptions of qualitative loss factors that were utilized at March 31, 2022 in estimation of the ALLL on loans recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

~~Mergers and acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” using~~If the acquisition method of accounting. Assets and liabilities acquired and assumed are generally recorded at their fair values as of the date of the transaction. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired often involves estimates based on internal estimate or third-party valuations using a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation technique that may include the use of estimates. In addition,assumptions underlying the determination of the ~~useful lives over which intangible assets will~~ALLL prove to be ~~amortized is subjective in nature.~~

In addition, a problem with one or more loans could ~~result in~~require a significant difference in the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired which would impact total goodwill recorded. A change in the useful life of intangible assets could impact amortization amounts which could have an impact on our earnings.

~~Goodwill~~

~~The amount of goodwill reflected in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements is required to be tested by management for impairment on at least an annual basis~~ ~~or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value~~. The annual goodwill impairment testing is performed as of December 31. The test for impairment of goodwill on the identified reporting unit is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires judgment on the part of management and the use of estimates relatedincrease to the ~~growth assumptions and market multiples used in the valuation model.~~

At September 30, 2021, the Company had $12.7 million in goodwill that was recorded in connection with the acquisition of various insurance agencies and the most recent acquisition of FSB. The Company recognized $1.8 million in goodwill in its banking reporting unit related to the FSB acquisition. The remaining $10.9 million of goodwill is recorded in the Company’s insurance agency reporting unit.~~There have been no purchases of diverse companies in which goodwill was subjectively allocated to different reporting units.~~

The valuation methodology used for the goodwill in the banking reporting unit is a five year discounted cash flow analysis. The Company used two valuation methodologies to calculate the fair value of the insurance agency reporting unit. The first methodology was a five year discounted cash flow analysis. The second was to measure fair value using an EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization”) multiple. These valuation methodologies utilize key assumptions that include forecasts of revenues and expenses derived from Company projections for a period of five years, changes in working capital estimates, company specific discount rate derived from a rate build up approach, externally sourced bank peer group market multiples and externally sourced bank peer group change in control premium, all of which are highly subjective and require significant management judgment. Changes in these key assumptions could materially affect our estimate of the reporting unit fair value and could affect our conclusion regarding the existence of potential impairment.

~~No impairment to the Company’s goodwill was recorded in 2020 or in the first nine months of 2021.~~ALLL.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan Activity

Total gross loans were $1.6 billion at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 compared with $1.7 billion at ~~June 30, 2021, and December~~March 31, 2020.

Commercial and Industrial loans have decreased $145 million since December 31, 2020 of which $111 million2021.

The ~~year-to-date increase~~decrease in residential mortgage originations as compared to the prior year is primarily due to ~~the acquired FSB mortgage real estate division~~customers refinancing at lower interest rates during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020.~~2021. The Company sold $3 million of residential mortgages during the first three months of 2022 compared with $1 million during the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company did not sell any residential mortgages during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2021, compared with $15 million during the first nine months of 2020.~~2021. Management decides to keep or sell residential mortgage loans at the time of origination based on interest rate risk management and the risk-adjusted return of alternative investment sources such as mortgage-backed securities.

The Company has also focused on growth opportunities in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) lending as a way to diversify its overall loan portfolio. The C&I portfolio was ~~$285~~$242 million at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, representing ~~an $80~~a $5 million or ~~22% decrease from June 30, 2021, and a $145 million or 34% decrease~~2% increase from December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, but a $209 million or 46% decrease from March 31, 2021.

C&I lending is a critical component of the Company’s strategy as C&I relationships can often include core deposits.

Credit Quality of Loan Portfolio

Non-performing loans, defined as accruing loans greater than 90 days past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled ~~$25~~$21 million, or ~~1.58%~~1.29% of total loans outstanding at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~$24~~$18 million, or ~~1.43%~~1.17% of total loans outstanding, as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and ~~$28~~$29 million, or 1.66% of total loans outstanding, as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in non-performing loans from the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to ~~a $2.2~~three separate commercial real estate loans totaling $8 million ~~loan within the hotel portfolio moved to nonaccrual status~~that were paid off during ~~the recent quarter.~~2021.

Commercial credits graded as “special mention” and “substandard,” or the criticized loan portfolio, were ~~$121~~$110 million at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, a ~~$25~~$1 million decrease from ~~$146 million at June 30, 2021, and a $19 million decrease from $140~~$111 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, and a $44 million decrease from $154 million at March 31, 2021. The Company continues to classify loans to clients within the hotel industry as criticized given their level of seasonality and ongoing challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company’s hotel loan portfolio was ~~$79~~$75 million, or approximately 7%, of total commercial ~~loans. During the third quarter~~loans, of ~~2021, the Company upgraded $20~~which $55 million of these loans ~~within the hotel portfolio out of the criticized loan category.~~are classified as criticized. The Company continues to monitor each client in that industry including on-going conversations with the borrowers. The level of criticized loans can fluctuate as new information is constantly received on the Company’s borrowers and their financial circumstances change over time. Internal risk ratings are the credit quality indicators used by the Company’s management to determine the appropriate allowance for loan losses for commercial credits. “Special mention” and “substandard” loans are weaker credits with a higher risk of loss and are categorized as “criticized” credits rather than “pass” or “watch” credits.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses that in management’s judgment appropriately reflects losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value with no carry-over of an acquired entity’s previously established allowance for credit losses. The allowance for loan losses totaled ~~$18.1~~$18.6 million or ~~1.12%~~1.16% of total loans outstanding at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~$19.9~~$18.4 million or 1.17% of total loans outstanding as of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and ~~$20.4~~$20.7 million or ~~1.21%~~1.18% of total loans outstanding at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Investing Activities

Total investment securities were ~~$258~~$389 million at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~$234 million at June 30, 2021 and $167~~$309 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021 and $195 million at March 31, 2021. The increases reflect the use of excess cash balances. Interest-bearing deposits at other banks, which consist of overnight funds kept at correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve, were ~~$179~~$147 million at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to ~~$127 million at June 30, 2021, and $84~~$235 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, and $106 million at March 31, 2021. The primary objectives of the Company’s investment portfolio are to provide liquidity, provide collateral to secure municipal deposits, and maximize income while preserving safety of principal. Average investment securities and interest-bearing cash were 2026% of average interest-earning assets in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, compared with ~~15%~~25% in the ~~second~~fourth quarter of 2021 and 13% in the ~~fourth~~first quarter of ~~2020.~~2021.

The Company monitors extension and prepayment risk in the securities portfolio to limit potential exposures. The Company has no direct exposure to subprime mortgages, nor does the Company hold private mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps, or FNMA or FHLMC preferred stock investments in its investment portfolio.

Funding Activities

Total deposits at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 were ~~$1.9~~$2.0 billion, ~~an $8~~a $50 million or ~~less than 1% decrease~~3% increase from ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, ~~but~~and a ~~$105~~$115 million or 6% increase from ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020~~2021. The increase from ~~December~~March 31, ~~2020~~2021 largely reflects an increase in commercial deposits related to the second round of PPP loans and an increase in consumer deposits from government stimulus payments and lower consumer spending. Specifically, the increase from prior year ~~end~~ reflects increases in commercial savings of $54 million or 28%, total demand deposits of ~~$67 million or 15%, consumer savings deposits of $45~~$43 million or 9%, municipal savings deposits of $41 million or ~~25%~~20%, ~~commercial~~consumer savings deposits of $31 million or ~~17%~~6%, and total NOW deposits of ~~$22~~$19 million or ~~10%~~8%. These increases were offset by a decrease in time deposits of ~~$100~~$73 million or ~~36%~~33%. Average demand deposits were ~~$503~~$512 million in the ~~third~~first quarter of 2022, a 1% decrease from $515 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, but a 2%10% increase from ~~$494~~$465 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021, and a 17% increase from $431 million in the third quarter of 2020.~~2021.

The Company had ~~$37~~$27 million in other borrowings at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~$41 million at June 30, 2021 and $45~~$33 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021 and $42 million at March 31, 2021. This represents long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) that were acquired in the FSB acquisition. The Company’s use of its overnight line of credit with FHLBNY varies depending on its ability to fund investment and loan growth with deposits along with the line usage’s impact on interest rate risk. There were no overnight borrowings at ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

On July 9, 2020, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $20 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). Subsequently, $15 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes were moved to the Company’s Evans Bank N.A. subsidiary as Tier 1 capital.

The ~~$1.5~~$0.2 million release of allowance for loan losses during the third quarter of 2021 included $0.7 million related to a decrease in criticized hotel portfolio loans and a $0.5 million reduction in specific reserves resulting from payments received from one commercial customer relationship. Comparatively, second quarter of 2021 release of allowance was $0.8 million and prior year’s third quarter was a provision for loan losses ~~of $1.9 million.~~in the current quarter was due to loan growth, partially offset by a reduction in specific reserves.

~~Other Results of Operations – Year-to-Date Comparison~~

Net interest income was $53.1 million for the first nine months of 2021, a $9.8 million or 23% increase from the first nine months of 2020. The increase in net interest income is attributable to a $304 million or 18% increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in average interest-earning assets reflects average loan growth of $215 million or 15% during the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020. PPP loans averaged $180 million during the first nine months of 2021 compared with $115 million during the first nine months of 2020. At September 30, 2021 total PPP loans that have not yet received SBA forgiveness were $76 million. Total fees collected from the SBA were $12.4 million. These fees are deferred and amortized into interest income over the contractual period of the loan. Upon SBA forgiveness, unamortized fees are then recognized into interest income. The Company recognized $6.3 million of amortized PPP loan fees in interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $1.5 million during the prior year period.

The Company’s net interest margin of 3.51% in the first nine months of 2021 was 14 basis points higher than the margin in the first nine months of 2020. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased 18 basis points from 3.94% to 3.76%. Average loan yields decreased 5 basis points from 4.30% to 4.25%, reflecting the Federal Reserve’s decrease of fed funds rate. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.34% in the first nine months of 2021, 43 basis points lower than during the first nine months of 2020. The rate paid on average time deposits decreased from 1.45% in the first nine months of 2020 to 0.56% during the first nine months of 2021.

The Company recorded $1.9 million release of allowance for loan losses in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $5.5 million provision for loan loss in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in provision for loan losses during the first nine months of 2021 compared with the prior year period reflects improved credit quality within the loan portfolio, decrease in specific reserves, and continued positive macroeconomic trends. While the full impact of COVID-19 on future financial results is uncertain, the Company continues to monitor the potential impact on the ability of some clients to meet their borrowing obligations. The provision for loan losses during the first nine months of 2020 reflected an increase in criticized loans and additional reserves in response to economic trends and conditions and changes in credit quality standards as the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic continued. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified a well-defined weakness in the hotel industry and classified the majority of the loans to clients within that industry as criticized. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s hotel portfolio was $79 million, of which $20 million was moved out of the criticized loan category during the first nine months of 2021.

Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2021 increased $0.7 million from the prior year period to $14.1 million. The first nine months of 2020 included a $0.6 million net reduction of non-interest income related to an investment in an historic rehabilitation tax credit. There were no historic rehabilitation tax credits during the first nine months of 2021. In addition, the first nine months of 2020 included $0.7 million gain on sale of investment securities and $0.4 million gain on loans sold. There were no comparable gains during the first nine months of 2021. Changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights increased non-interest income by $0.3 million in first nine months of 2021 as compared to the first nine months of 2020. Interchange fees and deposit service charges revenue increased $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the first nine months of 2021 compared with the first nine months of 2020. Insurance service and fees revenue, the largest component of non-interest income, remained relatively consistent at $8.4 million during the first nine months of 2021, compared with $8.3 million during the first nine months of 2020.

Total non-interest expense decreased to $0.4 million in the first nine months of 2021 to $44.9 million, 1% lower than the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was mostly attributable to $6.0 million in merger-related expenses during the first nine months of 2020 in connection with the FSB acquisition including system contract termination and deconversion charges. Offsetting the decrease in merger-related expenses were higher salaries and employee benefits costs, occupancy expenses, advertising costs and other non-interest expenses. Salaries and employee benefits costs were $28.3 million for the first nine months of 2021, a $4.4 million or 19% increase from $23.9 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year increase in salary and benefits expense reflects higher incentive accruals, the addition of personnel related to the FSB acquisition and annual merit increases during 2021. Occupancy expenses increased $0.4 million reflecting the expansion of our footprint resulting from the FSB acquisition. Advertising costs increased $0.2 million during the first nine months of 2021 when compared to the prior year period as the Company focuses on promotional opportunities within the Western New York and Rochester market area. Other non-interest expenses, including professional services costs, technology and communications expenses, FDIC insurance expense, loan fees, and charitable contributions, increased a combined $0.5 million compared to prior year period.

The Company’s GAAP efficiency ratio, or noninterest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was 66.8% in the first nine months of 2021, compared with 79.9% during the prior-year period. The Company’s non-GAAP efficiency ratio, excluding amortization expense, gains and losses from investment securities, merger-related expenses and the impact of historic tax credit transactions, was 66.2% in the first nine months of 2021, compared with 68.7% during the prior-year period.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $6.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, compared with $0.7 million in the first nine months of 2020. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2021 was 25.1%, compared with 12.4% in

~~Table of Contents~~

the comparable 2020 period. Excluding the impact of the 2020 historic tax credit transaction, the effective tax rate was 25.7% for the first nine months of 2020. There were no historic tax credit transactions during the first nine months of 2021.

CAPITAL

The Company consistently maintains regulatory capital ratios significantly above the federal “well capitalized” standard, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of ~~8.34%~~8.57% at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, compared with ~~8.23%~~8.19% at ~~June 30, 2021 and 8.21% at December~~March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Book value per share was ~~$32.73~~$30.65 at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~$32.28 at June 30, 2021 and $31.21~~$33.54 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021 and $30.76 at March 31, 2021.

On ~~August 17, 2021,~~February 15, 2022, the Company declared a ~~semi-annual~~ cash dividend of ~~$0.60~~$0.62 per common share, ~~on the Company’s outstanding common stock. The dividend~~which was paid on April 5, 2022. The semi-annual dividend represented a $0.02, or 3% increase from the previous semi-annual dividend paid in October ~~5, 2021 to shareholders~~2021.

Table of ~~record as of September 14, 2021. For the full year of 2021, cash dividends totaled $1.20 per share, up 3% over 2020.~~Contents

The Company has also issued subordinated capital notes and junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities to provide liquidity and enhance regulatory capital ratios. The Company had $11.3 million of junior subordinated debentures associated with trust preferred securities outstanding at ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 which are considered Tier 1 capital and are includable in total regulatory capital. On July 9, 2020, the Company executed a private offering of $20 million of its 6.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030. During 2020, $15 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes were moved to the Company’s Evans Bank, N.A. subsidiary as Tier 1 capital.

While we are currently classified as well capitalized, an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19 could adversely impact our reported and regulatory capital ratios by credit losses. The Company relies on cash on hand as well as dividends from its subsidiary bank to service its debt. If the Company’s subsidiary bank’s capital deteriorates such that it is unable to pay dividends to the Company for an extended period of time, the Company may not be able to service its debt that was issued.

LIQUIDITY

The Bank utilizes cash flows from the investment portfolio and federal funds sold balances to manage the liquidity requirements related to loan demand and deposit fluctuations. The Bank also has many borrowing options. The Company uses the FHLBNY as its primary source of overnight funds and has long-term advance with FHLBNY. The Company’s use of its overnight line of credit with FHLBNY varies depending on its ability to fund investment and loan growth with core deposits along with the line usage’s impact on interest rate risk. The Company’s funding strategy has resulted in significant deposit growth, resulting in less usage of the FHLBNY overnight line of credit. The Company has pledged sufficient collateral in the form of residential and commercial real estate loans at FHLBNY that meets FHLB collateral requirements. As a member of the FHLB, the Bank is able to borrow funds at competitive rates. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, advances of up to ~~$484~~$406 million could be drawn on the FHLB via an Overnight Line of Credit Agreement between the Bank and the FHLB. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Bank also had the ability to purchase up to $18 million in federal funds from its correspondent banks. By placing sufficient collateral in safekeeping at the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank could borrow at the discount window. The Bank’s liquidity needs also can be met by more aggressively pursuing time deposits, or accessing the brokered time deposit market, including the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) network.

Cash flows from the Bank’s investment portfolio are laddered, so that securities mature at regular intervals, to provide funds from principal and interest payments at various times as liquidity needs may arise. Contractual maturities are also laddered, with consideration as to the volatility of market prices. At ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, approximately 2%1% of the Bank’s securities had contractual maturity dates of one year or less and approximately 7%19% had maturity dates of five years or less. Additionally, mortgage-backed securities, which comprise ~~63%~~56% of the investment portfolio at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, provide consistent cash flows for the Bank.

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is dividends from the Bank. Additionally, the Company has access to capital markets as a funding source.

Management, on an ongoing basis, closely monitors the Company’s liquidity position for compliance with internal policies and believes that available sources of liquidity are adequate to meet funding needs in the normal course of business. As part of that monitoring process, management calculates the 90-day liquidity each month by analyzing the cash needs of the Bank. Included in the calculation are liquid assets and potential liabilities. Management stresses the potential liabilities calculation to ensure a strong liquidity position. Included in the calculation are assumptions of some significant deposit run-off as well as funds needed for loan closings and investment purchases. In the Company’s internal stress test at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company had net short-term liquidity of ~~$627~~$665 million as compared with ~~$410~~$724 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Available assets of ~~$438~~$538 million, divided by public and purchased funds of ~~$379~~$422 million, resulted in a long-term liquidity ratio of ~~116%~~127% at ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~70%~~153% at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Management does not anticipate engaging in any activities, either currently or in the long term, for which adequate funding would not be available and which would therefore result in significant pressure on liquidity.

The Company believes that the Bank maintains a sufficient level of U.S. government and government agency securities and New York State municipal bonds that can be pledged as collateral for municipal deposits.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Additional information responsive to this Item is contained in the Liquidity section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and/or interest rates of the Bank’s financial instruments. The primary market risk that the Company is exposed to is interest rate risk. The core banking activities of lending and deposit-taking expose the Bank to interest rate risk, which occurs when assets and liabilities reprice at different times and by different amounts as interest rates change. As a result, net interest income earned by the Bank is subject to the effects of changing interest rates. The Bank measures

Table of Contents

interest rate risk by calculating the variability of net interest income in future periods under various interest rate scenarios using projected balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Management’s philosophy toward interest rate risk management is to limit the variability of net interest income to changes in net interest rates. The balances of financial instruments used in the projections are based on expected growth from forecasted business opportunities, anticipated prepayments of loans, and expected maturities of investment securities, loans, and deposits. Management supplements the modeling technique described above with analysis of market values of the Bank’s financial instruments and changes to such market values given changes in the interest rates.

The Bank’s Asset-Liability Committee, which includes members of senior management, monitors the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity with the aid of a model that considers the impact of ongoing lending and deposit taking activities, as well as interrelationships in the magnitude and timing of the repricing of financial instruments, including the effect of changing interest rates on expected prepayments and maturities. When deemed prudent, management has taken actions, and intends to do so in the future, to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk through the use of on- or off-balance sheet financial instruments. Possible actions include, but are not limited to, changing the pricing of loan and deposit products, and modifying the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and reliance on other financial instruments used for interest rate risk management purposes.

The following table demonstrates the possible impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income over a 12-month period of time:

SENSITIVITY OF NET INTEREST INCOME TO CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES

-100 basis points		0		(1,169)		(1,620)		(2,183)
-200 basis points		NM		NM		NM		NM

Many assumptions were utilized by management to calculate the impact that changes in interest rates may have on the Bank’s net interest income. The more significant assumptions related to the rate of prepayments of mortgage-related assets, loan and deposit volumes and pricing, and deposit maturities. The Bank assumed immediate changes in rates including 200 basis point rate changes. In the 200 basis point rate reduction scenario, the applicable rate changes may be limited to lesser amounts such that interest rates are not less than zero. The assumptions in the Company’s projections are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the Bank cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ significantly due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes in market conditions and interest rate differentials (spreads) between maturity/repricing categories, as well as any actions such as those previously described, which management may take to counter such changes. In light of the uncertainties and assumptions associated with the process, the amounts presented in the table and changes in such amounts are not considered significant to the Bank’s projected net interest income.

During 2021, the Company undertook efforts to remediate the material weakness with respect to its internal controls over deposit data within the deposit accounting system as previously disclosed on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

To remediate the material weakness and strengthen our internal controls management designed and implemented review controls over the accuracy of deposit data entry for new deposit account information, file maintenance and master-file changes. Core system generated reports and other core system tools are now utilized in a review controls of deposit data entry to ensure completeness of the transactions subject to the aforementioned controls.

As of June 30, 2021, our testing of both the design and operating effectiveness of these controls was complete and we concluded that the material weaknesses existing at December 31, 2020 had been remediated.

No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
