All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is considered a “smaller reporting company” under the disclosure rules of the SEC, as amended in 2018. Accordingly, the Company has elected to provide its audited consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for a two year, rather than a three year, period, and intends to provide smaller reporting company scaled disclosures where management deems it appropriate. Beginning with its periodic reports filed in 2018, the Company is considered an accelerated filer under the financial reporting rules of the SEC. FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, in part, addresses limited purpose trusts formed to issue trust preferred securities. It also establishes the criteria used to identify VIE, and to determine whether or not to consolidate a VIE. In general, ASC Topic 810 provides that the enterprise with the controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, consolidates the VIE. In 2007, the Company formed CMTV Statutory Trust I for the purposes of issuing trust preferred securities to unaffiliated parties and investing the proceeds from the issuance thereof and the common securities of the trust in junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of CMTV Statutory Trust I; accordingly, the trust is not consolidated with the Company for financial reporting purposes. CMTV Statutory Trust I is considered an affiliate of the Company (see Note 10). During the years 2011 through 2018, the Company was the sole owner of a LLC formed to facilitate the Company’s purchase of federal NMTC under an investment structure designed by a local community development entity. The NMTC financing matured in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the Company exited the investment and terminated its interest in the LLC. Management evaluated the Company’s interest in the LLC under the ASC guidance relating to VIEs in light of the overall structure and purpose of the NMTC financing transaction and concluded that the LLC should not be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements for financial reporting purposes, as the Company was not the primary beneficiary of the NMTC structure, did not exercise control within the overall structure and was not obligated to absorb a majority of any losses of the NMTC structure (see Note 7). Nature of operations The Company provides a variety of deposit and lending services to individuals, municipalities, and business customers through its branches, ATMs and telephone, mobile and internet banking capabilities in northern and central Vermont, which is primarily a small business and agricultural area. The Company's primary deposit products are checking and savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Its primary lending products are commercial, real estate, municipal and consumer loans. Concentration of risk The Company's operations are affected by various risk factors, including interest rate risk, credit risk, and risk from geographic concentration of its deposit taking and lending activities. Management attempts to manage interest rate risk through various asset/liability management techniques designed to match maturities and repricing of assets and liabilities. Loan policies and administration are designed to provide assurance that loans will only be granted to creditworthy borrowers, although credit losses are expected to occur because of subjective factors inherent in management’s estimate of credit risk and factors beyond the control of the Company. While the Company has a diversified loan portfolio by loan type, most of its lending activities are conducted within the geographic area where its banking offices are located. As a result, the Company and its borrowers may be especially vulnerable to the consequences of changes in the local economy in northern and central Vermont. In addition, a substantial portion of the Company's loans are secured by real estate, which is susceptible to a decline in value, especially during times of adverse economic conditions. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions involve inherent uncertainties. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the ALL and the valuation of OREO. In connection with evaluating loans for impairment or assigning the carrying value of OREO, management generally obtains independent evaluations or appraisals for significant properties. While the ALL and the carrying value of OREO are determined using management's best estimate of probable loan and OREO losses, respectively, as of the balance sheet date, the ultimate collection of a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the fair value of OREO are susceptible to uncertainties and changes in a number of factors, especially local real estate market conditions. The amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and OREO, future additions to the allowance or write-downs of OREO may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions or other relevant factors. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for losses on loans and the carrying value of OREO. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance or write-downs of OREO based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. MSRs associated with loans originated and sold in the secondary market, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. MSRs are amortized against non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. The value of capitalized servicing rights represents the present estimated value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans for third parties. The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of estimated fair value as compared to amortized cost, and impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as a write down. Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests. The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments. Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates and the payment performance of the underlying loans. Management uses a third party consultant to assist in analyzing the fair value of the Company’s MSRs. Management evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to various factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; the nature of the issuer and its financial condition and near-term prospects; and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The evaluation of these factors is a subjective process and involves estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Should actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the actual realization of gains or losses on investment securities could differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Accounting for a business combination that was completed prior to 2009 requires the application of the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method, the Company was required to record the assets and liabilities acquired through the LyndonBank merger in 2007 at fair market value, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets recorded as goodwill and evaluated annually for impairment. Management uses various assumptions in evaluating goodwill for impairment. Management utilizes numerous techniques to estimate the carrying value of various other assets held by the Company, including, but not limited to, bank premises and equipment and deferred taxes. The assumptions considered in making these estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed by management to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management acknowledges that the use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different estimates of carrying values. Presentation of cash flows For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing), federal funds sold (generally purchased and sold for one day periods) and overnight deposits. Investment securities Debt securities the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM and reported at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as HTM are classified as AFS, and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax and reclassification adjustments, reflected as a net amount in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and in the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on sales of debt securities AFS and equity securities. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or call date. The Company does not hold any securities purchased for the purpose of selling in the near term and classified as trading. For individual debt securities that the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of the debt security related to (1) credit loss is recognized in earnings and (2) other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss. Credit loss is deemed to exist if the present value of expected future cash flows using the interest rates at acquisition is less than the amortized cost basis of the debt security. For individual debt securities where the Company intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, the OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. Other investments In December 2011, the Company made an equity investment in a NMTC financing structure, which was fully amortized in 2017 (see Note 7). The Company’s investment in the NMTC financing structure was amortized using the effective yield method. From time to time, the Company acquires partnership interests in limited partnerships for low income housing projects. New investments in limited partnerships are amortized using the proportional amortization method. All investments made before January 1, 2015 are amortized using the effective yield method. The Company has a one-third ownership interest in CFSG, a non-depository trust company (see Note 7). The Company's investment in CFSG is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Restricted equity securities The Company holds certain restricted equity securities acquired for non-investment purposes, and required as a matter of law or as a condition to the receipt of certain financial products and services. These securities are carried at cost. As a member of the FRBB, the Company is required to invest in FRBB stock in an amount equal to 6% of the Bank's capital stock and surplus. As a member of the FHLBB, the Company is required to invest in $100 par value stock of the FHLBB in an amount that approximates 1% of unpaid principal balances on qualifying loans, plus an additional amount to satisfy an activity based requirement. The stock is nonmarketable and redeemable at par value, subject to the FHLBB’s right to temporarily suspend such redemptions. Members are subject to capital calls in some circumstances to ensure compliance with the FHLBB’s capital plan. In order to access correspondent banking services from the ACBB, the Company is required to invest in a minimum of 20 shares of the common stock of ACBB’s parent company, ACBI. Loans held-for-sale Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Loans Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balance, adjusted for any charge-offs, the ALL, loan premiums or discounts for acquired loans and any unearned fees or costs on originated loans. Loan interest income is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. For all loan segments, the accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when the loan is delinquent 90 days and management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest income is generally not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is considered by management to be remote. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Loans are returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are brought current and the customer has demonstrated the intent and ability to make future payments on a timely basis. Loans are written down or charged off when collection of principal is considered doubtful. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield. The Company generally amortizes these amounts over the contractual life of the loans. Loan premiums and discounts on loans acquired in the merger with LyndonBank are amortized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loans. Allowance for loan losses The ALL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that future payments of a loan balance are unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Unsecured loans, primarily consumer loans, are charged off when they become uncollectible and no later than 120 days past due. Unsecured loans to customers who subsequently file bankruptcy are charged off within 30 days of receipt of the notification of filing or by the end of the month in which the loans become 120 days past due, whichever occurs first. For secured loans, both residential and commercial, the potential loss on impaired loans is carried as a loan loss reserve specific allocation; the loss portion is charged off when collection of the full loan appears unlikely. The unsecured portion of a real estate loan is that portion of the loan exceeding the "fair value" of the collateral less the estimated cost to sell. Value of the collateral is determined in accordance with the Company’s appraisal policy. The unsecured portion of an impaired real estate secured loan is charged off by the end of the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past due. As described below, the allowance consists of general, specific and unallocated components. However, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses in the loan portfolio, regardless of specific, general and unallocated components considered in determining the amount of the allowance. General component The general component of the ALL is based on historical loss experience and various qualitative factors and is stratified by the following loan segments: commercial and industrial, CRE, residential real estate 1st lien, residential real estate Jr lien and consumer loans. The Company does not disaggregate its portfolio segments further into classes. Loss ratios are calculated by loan segment for one year, two year, three year, four year and five year look back periods. Management uses an average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment in the current economic climate. During periods of economic stability, a relatively longer period (e.g., five years) may be appropriate. During periods of significant expansion or contraction, the Company may appropriately shorten the historical time period. The Company is currently using an extended look back period of five years. Qualitative factors include the levels of and trends in delinquencies and non-performing loans, levels of and trends in loan risk groups, trends in volumes and terms of loans, effects of any changes in loan related policies, experience, ability and the depth of management, documentation and credit data exception levels, national and local economic trends, external factors such as competition and regulation and lastly, concentrations of credit risk in a variety of areas, including portfolio product mix, the level of loans to individual borrowers and their related interests, loans to industry segments, and the geographic distribution of CRE loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. The Company has policies, procedures and internal controls that management believes are commensurate with the risk profile of each of these segments. Major risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial & Industrial – Commercial Real Estate – Residential Real Estate - 1st Lien – Residential Real Estate – Jr Lien – Consumer – Specific component The specific component of the ALL relates to loans that are impaired. Impaired loans are loan(s) to a borrower that in the aggregate are greater than $100,000 and that are in non-accrual status or are TDRs regardless of amount. A specific allowance is established for an impaired loan when its estimated impaired basis is less than the carrying value of the loan. For all loan segments, except consumer loans, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, in management’s estimation it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant or temporary payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management evaluates the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length and frequency of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis, by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans also include troubled loans that are restructured. A TDR occurs when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would otherwise not be granted. TDRs may include the transfer of assets to the Company in partial satisfaction of a troubled loan, a modification of a loan’s terms, or a combination of the two. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment evaluation, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement. Unallocated component An unallocated component of the ALL is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component reflects management’s estimate of the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. Bank premises and equipment Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense as incurred and the cost of major renewals and betterments is capitalized. Other real estate owned Real estate properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure or properties no longer used for bank operations are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of acquisition, foreclosure or transfer. Fair value is determined, as appropriate, either by obtaining a current appraisal or evaluation prepared by an independent, qualified appraiser, by obtaining a broker’s market value analysis, and finally, if the Company has limited exposure and limited risk of loss, by the opinion of management as supported by an inspection of the property and its most recent tax valuation. During periods of declining market values, the Company will generally obtain a new appraisal or evaluation. Any write-down based on the asset's fair value at the date of acquisition or institution of foreclosure is charged to the ALL. After acquisition through or in lieu of foreclosure, these assets are carried at the lower of their new cost basis or fair value. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding the property are expensed as incurred. Appraisals by an independent, qualified appraiser are performed periodically on properties that management deems significant, or evaluations may be performed by management or a qualified third party on OREO properties in the portfolio that are deemed less significant or less vulnerable to market conditions. Subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to other expense. Gains or losses on the sale of such properties are included in income when the properties are sold. Intangible assets Intangible assets include the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) in the Company’s 2007 acquisition of LyndonBank, and in 2017 and prior years also included a core deposit intangible related to the deposits acquired from LyndonBank (see Note 6). The core deposit intangible was amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 years to approximate the pattern of economic benefit to the Company and was fully amortized as of December 31, 2017. Goodwill is not amortizable and is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently as events or circumstances warrant. Income taxes The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting bases and the tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled. Adjustments to the Company's deferred tax assets are recognized as deferred income tax expense or benefit based on management's judgments relating to the outcome of such asset. Mortgage servicing Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or retained upon the sale of loans. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and initially recorded at fair value, and are amortized against non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing rights are periodically evaluated for impairment, based upon the estimated fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying the rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of other assets, to the extent that estimated fair value is less than the capitalized amount at the valuation date. Subsequent improvement, if any, in the estimated fair value of impaired MSRs is reflected in a positive valuation adjustment and is recognized in other income up to (but not in excess of) the amount of the prior impairment. Pension costs Pension costs are charged to salaries and employee benefits expense and accrued over the active service period. Advertising costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Comprehensive income US GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses to be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after-tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are not reflected in the consolidated statement of income, but the cumulative effect of such items from period-to-period is reflected as a separate component of the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet (accumulated other comprehensive income or loss). Other comprehensive income or loss, along with net income, comprises the Company's total comprehensive income. Preferred stock The Company had outstanding 20 shares and 25 shares, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of fixed-to-floating rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, without par value and with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share, issued in December 2007. Under the terms of the preferred stock, the Company pays non-cumulative cash dividends quarterly, when, as and if declared by the Board. Dividends are payable at a variable dividend rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate in effect on the first business day of each quarterly dividend period. A variable rate of 3.75% was in effect for the first quarter of 2017, with increases during 2017 on an almost quarterly basis, to a rate of 4.25% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The variable rate then increased in the fourth quarter of 2017 to 4.50%, and was in effect for the dividend payment due in the first quarter of 2018, followed by quarterly increases each quarter to a rate of 5.25% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The variable rate then increased in the fourth quarter of 2018 to 5.50%, which will be in effect for the first quarter of 2019. A partial redemption of five shares of preferred stock at a redemption price per share of $101,125 (including accrued dividend) occurred on March 31, 2018, accounting for the decrease to 20 outstanding shares at December 31, 2018.

The entire balance under “Securities HTM - States and political subdivisions" consists of securities of local municipalities which are attributable to municipal financing transactions directly with the Company. The reported fair value of these securities is an estimate based on an analysis that takes into account future maturities and scheduled future repricing. The Company anticipates no losses on these securities and expects to hold them until their maturity. Investments pledged as collateral for larger dollar repurchase agreement accounts and for other purposes as required or permitted by law consisted of U.S. GSE debt securities, Agency MBS, ABS and OAS, and CDs. These repurchase agreements mature daily. These investments as of the balance sheet dates were as follows: Amortized Fair Cost Value December 31, 2018 $ 40,186,557 $ 39,366,831 December 31, 2017 38,797,609 38,450,653 Proceeds from sales of debt securities AFS were $5,715,525 in 2018 and $9,015,961 in 2017 with gains of $0 and $8,387, respectively, and losses of $32,718 and $5,003, respectively. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of securities by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties, pursuant to contractual terms. Because the actual maturities of Agency MBS usually differ from their contractual maturities due to the right of borrowers to prepay the underlying mortgage loans, usually without penalty, those securities are not presented in the table by contractual maturity date.

Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer's financial condition. As the Company has the ability to hold its debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as AFS, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell such securities before recovery of their cost basis, no declines in such securities were deemed to be other-than-temporary as of the balance sheet dates presented. The Bank is a member of the FHLBB. The FHLBB is a cooperatively owned wholesale bank for housing and finance in the six New England States. Its mission is to support the residential mortgage and community-development lending activities of its members, which include over 450 financial institutions across New England. The Company obtains much of its wholesale funding from the FHLBB. As a requirement of membership in the FHLBB, the Bank must own a minimum required amount of FHLBB stock, calculated periodically based primarily on the Bank’s level of borrowings from the FHLBB. As a result of the Bank’s level of borrowings during 2018 and 2017, the Bank was required to purchase additional FHLBB stock in aggregate totaling $1,103,300 and $3,600, respectively. As a member of the FHLBB, the Company is also subject to future capital calls by the FHLBB in order to maintain compliance with its capital plan. During 2018 and 2017, FHLBB exercised capital call options with redemptions totaling $1,147,500 and $1,055,800, respectively, on the Company’s portfolio of FHLBB stock. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s investment in FHLBB stock was $1,071,300 and $1,115,500, respectively. The Company periodically evaluates its investment in FHLBB stock for impairment based on, among other factors, the capital adequacy of the FHLBB and its overall financial condition. No impairment losses have been recorded through December 31, 2018. The Company’s investment in FRBB Stock was $588,150 at December 31, 2018 and 2017. In 2018, the Company purchased 20 shares of common stock in ACBI at a purchase price of $90,000, for the purpose of obtaining access to correspondent banking services from ABCI’s subsidiary, ACBB. These shares are subject to contractual resale restrictions and considered by management to be restricted and are recorded in the balance sheet at cost. |

Credit Quality Grouping In developing the ALL, management uses credit quality grouping to help evaluate trends in credit quality. The Company groups credit risk into Groups A, B and C. The manner the Company utilizes to assign risk grouping is driven by loan purpose. Commercial purpose loans are individually risk graded while the retail portion of the portfolio is generally grouped by delinquency pool. Group A loans - Acceptable Risk Group B loans – Management Involved Group C loans – Unacceptable Risk Commercial purpose loan ratings are assigned by the commercial account officer; for larger and more complex commercial loans, the credit rating is a collaborative assignment by the lender and the credit analyst. The credit risk rating is based on the borrower's expected performance, i.e., the likelihood that the borrower will be able to service its obligations in accordance with the loan terms. Credit risk ratings are meant to measure risk versus simply record history. Assessment of expected future payment performance requires consideration of numerous factors. While past performance is part of the overall evaluation, expected performance is based on an analysis of the borrower's financial strength, and historical and projected factors such as size and financing alternatives, capacity and cash flow, balance sheet and income statement trends, the quality and timeliness of financial reporting, and the quality of the borrower’s management. Other factors influencing the credit risk rating to a lesser degree include collateral coverage and control, guarantor strength and commitment, documentation, structure and covenants and industry conditions. There are uncertainties inherent in this process. Credit risk ratings are dynamic and require updating whenever relevant information is received. Risk ratings are assessed on an ongoing basis and at various points, including at delinquency or at the time of other adverse events. For larger, more complex or adversely rated loans, risk ratings are also assessed at the time of annual or periodic review. Lenders are required to make immediate disclosure to the Chief Credit Officer of any known increase in loan risk, even if considered temporary in nature. The risk ratings within the loan portfolio, by segment, as of the balance sheet dates were as follows: As of December 31, 2018 Residential Residential Commercial Commercial Real Estate Real Estate & Industrial Real Estate 1st Lien Jr Lien Consumer Total Group A $ 78,585,348 $ 226,785,919 $ 161,293,233 $ 43,817,872 $ 5,086,830 $ 515,569,202 Group B 90,763 246,357 224,992 0 0 562,112 Group C 2,090,582 8,285,872 4,146,950 727,115 1,661 15,252,180 $ 80,766,693 $ 235,318,148 $ 165,665,175 $ 44,544,987 $ 5,088,491 $ 531,383,494 As of December 31, 2017 Residential Residential Commercial Commercial Real Estate Real Estate & Industrial Real Estate 1st Lien Jr Lien Consumer Total Group A $ 73,352,768 $ 194,066,034 $ 165,089,999 $ 44,687,951 $ 5,267,196 $ 482,463,948 Group B 617,526 4,609,847 282,671 37,598 0 5,547,642 Group C 3,140,453 8,368,346 2,811,465 531,313 1,484 14,853,061 $ 77,110,747 $ 207,044,227 $ 168,184,135 $ 45,256,862 $ 5,268,680 $ 502,864,651 Modifications of Loans and TDRs A loan is classified as a TDR if, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The Company is deemed to have granted such a concession if it has modified a troubled loan in any of the following ways: ● Reduced accrued interest; ● Reduced the original contractual interest rate to a rate that is below the current market rate for the borrower; ● Converted a variable-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan; ● Extended the term of the loan beyond an insignificant delay; ● Deferred or forgiven principal in an amount greater than three months of payments; or ● Performed a refinancing and deferred or forgiven principal on the original loan. An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in the amount of payments typically would not require the loan to be accounted for as a TDR. However, pursuant to regulatory guidance, any payment delay longer than three months is generally not considered insignificant. Management’s assessment of whether a concession has been granted also takes into account payments expected to be received from third parties, including third-party guarantors, provided that the third party has the ability to perform on the guarantee. The Company’s TDRs are principally a result of extending loan repayment terms to relieve cash flow difficulties. The Company has only, on a limited basis, reduced interest rates for borrowers below the current market rate for the borrower. The Company has not forgiven principal or reduced accrued interest within the terms of original restructurings, nor has it converted variable rate terms to fixed rate terms. However, the Company evaluates each TDR situation on its own merits and does not foreclose the granting of any particular type of concession. New TDRs, by portfolio segment, for the periods presented were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2018 Pre- Post- Modification Modification Outstanding Outstanding Number of Recorded Recorded Contracts Investment Investment Commercial real estate 1 $ 406,920 $ 406,920 Residential real estate - 1st lien 10 1,031,330 1,142,089 11 $ 1,438,250 $ 1,549,009 Year ended December 31, 2017 Number of Contracts Pre- Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Post- Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment Residential real estate - 1st lien 4 $ 256,353 $ 287,385 The TDRs for which there was a payment default during the twelve month periods presented were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2018 Number of Recorded Contracts Investment Commercial real estate 1 $ 400,646 Residential real estate - 1st lien 3 518,212 4 $ 918,858 Year ended December 31, 2017 Number of Recorded Contracts Investment Residential real estate - 1st lien 1 $ 87,696 TDRs are treated as other impaired loans and carry individual specific reserves with respect to the calculation of the ALL. These loans are categorized as non-performing, may be past due, and are generally adversely risk rated. The TDRs that have defaulted under their restructured terms are generally in collection status and their reserve is typically calculated using the fair value of collateral method. The specific allowances related to TDRs as of the balance sheet dates presented were as follows: 2018 2017 Specific Allowance $ 114,726 $ 197,605 As of the balance sheet dates, the Company evaluates whether it is contractually committed to lend additional funds to debtors with impaired, non-accrual or modified loans. The Company is contractually committed to lend under one SBA guaranteed line of credit to a borrower whose lending relationship was previously restructured. |

The FHLBB is providing a subsidy, funded by the FHLBB’s earnings, to write down interest rates to zero percent on JNE advances that finance qualifying loans to small businesses. JNE advances must support small business in New England that create and/or retain jobs, or otherwise contribute to overall economic development activities. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company repaid a $2.0 million advance because the “qualifying loan” did not close as intended. Borrowings from the FHLBB are secured by a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by 1-4 family residential properties. Qualified collateral for these borrowings totaled $148,323,822 and $154,324,420 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the Company's gross potential borrowing capacity under this arrangement was $108,736,234 and $109,726,508, respectively, before reduction for outstanding advances and collateral pledges. Under a separate agreement with the FHLBB, the Company has the authority to collateralize public unit deposits, up to its available borrowing capacity, with letters of credit issued by the FHLBB. At December 31, 2018, $2,625,000 in FHLBB letters of credit was utilized as collateral for these deposits compared to $59,850,000 at December 31, 2017. Total fees paid by the Company in connection with issuance of these letters of credit were $46,620 for 2018 and $34,601 for 2017. The Company also maintained a $500,000 IDEAL Way Line of Credit with the FHLBB at December 31, 2018 and 2017, with no outstanding advances under this line at either year-end date. Interest on these borrowings is at a rate determined daily by the FHLBB and payable monthly. The Company also has a line of credit with the FRBB, which is intended to be used as a contingency funding source. For this BIC arrangement, the Company pledged eligible commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans and home equity loans, resulting in an available line of $50,913,351 and $45,305,894 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Credit advances in the FRBB lending program are overnight advances with interest chargeable at the primary credit rate (generally referred to as the discount rate), which was 300 basis points as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no outstanding advances against this line. The Company has unsecured lines of credit with three correspondent banks, with aggregate available borrowing capacity totaling $12,500,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company had no outstanding advances against these lines for the periods presented. |

Junior Subordinated Notes [Abstract] | |
Note 10. Junior Subordinated Debentures | As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had outstanding $12,887,000 principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures due in 2037 (the Debentures). The Debentures bear a floating rate equal to the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.85%. During 2018, the floating rate averaged 4.95% per quarter compared to 4.02% for 2017. The Debentures mature on December 15, 2037 and are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of the Company, as defined in the Indenture dated as of October 31, 2007 between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee. The Debentures first became redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Company on December 15, 2012. Interest paid on the Debentures for 2018 and 2017 was $650,361 and $524,696, respectively, and is deductible for tax purposes. The Debentures were issued and sold to CMTV Statutory Trust I (the Trust). The Trust is a special purpose trust funded by a capital contribution of $387,000 from the Company, in exchange for 100% of the Trust’s common equity. The Trust was formed for the purpose of issuing corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable Capital Securities (Capital Securities) in the principal amount of $12.5 million to third-party investors and using the proceeds from the sale of such Capital Securities and the Company’s initial capital contribution to purchase the Debentures. The Debentures are the sole asset of the Trust. Distributions on the Capital Securities issued by the Trust are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned by the Trust on the Debentures. The Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Debentures. The Company has entered into an agreement which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantees the payments on the Capital Securities, subject to the terms of the guarantee. The Debentures are currently includable in the Company’s Tier 1 capital up to 25% of core capital elements (see Note 20). |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Note 12. Income Taxes | The Company prepares its federal income tax return on a consolidated basis. Federal income taxes are allocated to members of the consolidated group based on taxable income. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act, the federal corporate income tax rate decreased from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The 2017 deferred tax expense and total income tax expense were impacted by a one-time charge of $410,304 in 2017 for the revaluation of the Company’s net deferred tax asset to reflect the 21% enacted tax rate in future periods. Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31 was as follows: 2018 2017 Currently paid or payable $ 1,749,624 $ 2,124,999 Deferred (benefit) expense (11,359 ) 784,331 Total income tax expense $ 1,738,265 $ 2,909,330 Total income tax expense differed from the amounts computed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 21 percent in 2018 and 34 percent in 2017 primarily due to the following for the years ended December 31: 2018 2017 Computed expense at statutory rates $ 2,128,517 $ 3,107,813 Tax exempt interest and BOLI (291,550 ) (484,454 ) Disallowed interest 11,631 13,867 Partnership rehabilitation and tax credits (437,229 ) (549,897 ) Low income housing investment amortization expense 323,948 278,296 NMTC amortization expense 0 129,078 Deferred tax asset revaluation to enacted tax rates 0 410,304 Other 2,948 4,323 $ 1,738,265 $ 2,909,330 The deferred income tax (benefit) expense consisted of the following items for the years ended December 31: 2018 2017 Depreciation $ 25,782 $ 12,377 Mortgage servicing rights (16,451 ) (184,146 ) Deferred compensation 3,681 281,886 Bad debts (34,533 ) 652,671 Limited partnership amortization (20,129 ) (15,573 ) Investment in CFS Partners (1,014 ) (39,644 ) Core deposit intangible 0 (92,715 ) Loan fair value (2,228 ) (13,531 ) OREO write down 13,860 80 Revaluation effect of unrealized loss on debt securities AFS 0 45,106 Prepaid expenses (846 ) 80,325 Other 20,519 57,495 Deferred tax (benefit) expense $ (11,359 ) $ 784,331 Listed below are the significant components of the net deferred tax asset at December 31: 2018 2017 Components of the deferred tax asset: Bad debts $ 1,176,534 $ 1,142,001 Deferred compensation 16,599 20,280 Contingent liability - MPF program 17,838 17,793 OREO write down 0 13,860 Capital lease 23,287 32,609 Unrealized loss on debt securities AFS 172,143 72,859 Other 11,968 23,210 Total deferred tax asset $ 1,418,369 $ 1,322,612 Components of the deferred tax liability: Depreciation 257,463 231,681 Limited partnerships 16,407 36,536 Mortgage servicing rights 211,039 227,490 Investment in CFS Partners 74,377 75,391 Prepaid expenses 79,479 80,325 Fair value adjustment on acquired loans 6,171 8,399 Total deferred tax liability 644,936 659,822 Net deferred tax asset $ 773,433 $ 662,790 US GAAP provides for the recognition and measurement of deductible temporary differences (including general valuation allowances) to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.

Financial Instruments With Off-balance-sheet Risk | |
Note 15. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk | The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, commitments to sell loans and risk-sharing commitments on certain sold loans. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the maximum extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company applies the same credit policies and underwriting criteria in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. At December 31, the following off-balance-sheet financial instruments representing credit risk were outstanding: Contract or Notional Amount 2018 2017 Unused portions of home equity lines of credit $ 31,328,881 $ 29,529,411 Residential and commercial construction lines of credit 7,251,560 19,068,034 Commercial real estate commitments 26,588,950 12,014,332 Commercial and industrial commitments 45,135,452 38,369,010 Other commitments to extend credit 53,586,720 48,233,850 Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit 2,408,581 1,939,759 Recourse on sale of credit card portfolio 284,680 302,775 MPF credit enhancement obligation, net (See Note 16) 552,158 634,340 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had binding loan commitments to sell residential mortgages at fixed rates totaling $391,840 and $1,789,453, respectively (see Note 16). The recourse provision under the terms of the sale of the Company’s credit card portfolio in 2007 is based on total lines, not balances outstanding. Based on historical losses, the Company does not expect any significant losses from this commitment. The Company evaluates each customer's credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, or a commitment to extend credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral or other security held varies but may include real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit or providing reimbursement guarantees for the benefit of the Company’s commercial customers is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The fair value of standby letters of credit and reimbursement guarantees on letters of credit has not been included in the balance sheets as the fair value is immaterial. In connection with its 2007 trust preferred securities financing, the Company guaranteed the payment obligations under the $12,500,000 of capital securities of its subsidiary, the Trust. The source of funds for payments by the Trust on its capital trust securities is payments made by the Company on its debentures issued to the Trust. The Company's obligation under those debentures is fully reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet, in the gross amount of $12,887,000 as of the dates presented, of which $12,500,000 represents external financing through the issuance to investors of capital securities by the Trust (see Note 10). |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Note 16. Contingent Liability | The Company sells first lien 1-4 family residential mortgage loans under the MPF program with the FHLBB. Under this program the Company shares in the credit risk of each mortgage loan, while receiving fee income in return. The Company is responsible for a CEO based on the credit quality of these loans. FHLBB funds a FLA based on the Company's outstanding MPF mortgage balances. This creates a laddered approach to sharing in any losses. In the event of default, homeowner's equity and private mortgage insurance, if any, are the first sources of repayment; the FHLBB's FLA funds are then utilized, followed by the participant’s CEO, with the balance of losses absorbed by FHLBB. These loans must meet specific underwriting standards of the FHLBB. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $38,935,411 and $43,006,299, respectively, in loans sold through the MPF program and on which the Company had a CEO. As of December 31, 2018, the notional amount of the maximum CEO related to this program was $637,102 compared to $719,067 as of December 31, 2017. The Company had accrued a contingent liability for this CEO in the amount of $84,944 and $84,727 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is calculated by management based on the methodology used in calculating the ALL, adjusted to reflect the risk sharing arrangements with the FHLBB. |

Prior to May 2018, the Company leased 2,253 square feet of condominium space in the state office building on Main Street in Newport, Vermont to its trust company affiliate, CFSG, for its principal offices. In May 2018, CFSG purchased the condominium space from the Company. CFSG also leases offices in the Company’s Barre and Lyndonville branches. The amount of rental income received from CFSG for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $30,365 and $62,092, respectively. The Company utilizes the services of CFSG as an investment advisor for the Company’s 401(k) plan. The Human Resources committee of the Board of Directors is the Trustee of the plan, and CFSG provides investment advice for the plan. CFSG also acts as custodian of the retirement funds and makes investments on behalf of the plan and its participants. In addition, prior to liquidation of the SERP assets, CFSG served as investment advisor and custodian of funds under the Company’s SERP. The Company pays monthly management fees to CFSG for its services to the 401(k) plan in 2018 and 2017, and the SERP based on the market value of the total assets under management in 2017. The amount paid to CFSG for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $47,676 and $48,943, respectively, for services related to the 401(k) plan and $1,412 in 2017 for services related to the SERP. |

Note 19. Restrictions on Cash and Due From Banks | In the ordinary course of business, the Company may, from time to time, maintain amounts due from correspondent banks that exceed federally insured limits. However, no losses have occurred in these accounts and the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risk with respect to such accounts. The Company was required to maintain contracted balances with a correspondent bank of $30,000 and $462,500 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Of the $462,500 balance at December 31, 2017, $262,500 was a separate agreed upon “impressed” balance to avoid monthly charges on the Company’s current federal funds liquidity line. Due to a merger of the correspondent bank in 2018, the impressed balance was eliminated and a clearing balance of $30,000 was agreed upon by the Company and ACBB as the successor correspondent bank. |

Regulatory Capital Requirements [Abstract] | |
Note 20. Regulatory Capital Requirements | The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the 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 and the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Additional prompt corrective action capital requirements are applicable to banks, but not to bank holding companies. Under current banking rules governing required regulatory capital, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table on the following page) of Common equity tier 1, Tier 1 and Total capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). The Company’s non-cumulative Series A preferred stock ($2.0 million liquidation preference in 2018 and $2.5 million in 2017) is includable without limitation in its Common equity tier 1 and Tier 1 capital. The Company is allowed to include in Common equity tier 1 and Tier 1 capital an amount of trust preferred securities equal to no more than 25% of the sum of all core capital elements, which is generally defined as shareholders’ equity, less certain intangibles, including goodwill and the core deposit intangible, net of any related deferred income tax liability, with the balance includable in Tier 2 capital. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2018, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are currently subject. Beginning in 2016, an additional capital conservation buffer was added to the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes, subject to a three year phase-in period. The capital conservation buffer was fully phased-in on January 1, 2019 at 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. A banking organization with a conservation buffer of less than 2.5% (or the required phase-in amount in years prior to 2019) is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital conservation buffer was 6.08% and 5.97%, respectively, at December 31, 2018 compared to 5.93% and 5.82%, respectively, at December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, both the Company and the Bank exceeded the required capital conservation buffer of 1.875% of risk-weighted assets as well as the fully phased-in capital conservation buffer of 2.50% that became effective on January 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the Bank was considered well capitalized under the regulatory capital framework for Prompt Corrective Action and the Company exceeded applicable consolidated regulatory guidelines for capital adequacy. The following table shows the regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of December 31: Minimum Minimum To Be Well For Capital Capitalized Under Adequacy Prompt Corrective Actual Purposes: Action Provisions(1): Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in Thousands) December 31, 2018 Common equity tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Company $ 64,564 12.94 % $ 22,446 4.50 % N/A N/A Bank $ 63,960 12.84 % $ 22,419 4.50 % $ 32,384 6.50 % Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Company $ 64,564 12.94 % $ 29,928 6.00 % N/A N/A Bank $ 63,960 12.84 % $ 29,893 6.00 % $ 39,857 8.00 % Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) Company $ 70,210 14.08 % $ 39,904 8.00 % N/A N/A Bank $ 69,606 13.97 % $ 39,857 8.00 % $ 49,821 10.00 % Tier 1 capital (to average assets) Company $ 64,564 9.26 % $ 27,890 4.00 % N/A N/A Bank $ 63,960 9.18 % $ 27,867 4.00 % $ 34,834 5.00 % December 31, 2017: Common equity tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Company $ 59,523 12.75 % $ 21,003 4.50 % N/A N/A Bank $ 58,920 12.64 % $ 20,972 4.50 % $ 30,293 6.50 % Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) Company $ 59,523 12.75 % $ 28,004 6.00 % N/A N/A Bank $ 58,920 12.64 % $ 27,963 6.00 % $ 37,284 8.00 % Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) Company $ 65,005 13.93 % $ 37,338 8.00 % N/A N/A Bank $ 64,401 13.82 % $ 37,284 8.00 % $ 46,605 10.00 % Tier 1 capital (to average assets) Company $ 59,523 9.05 % $ 26,304 4.00 % N/A N/A Bank $ 58,920 8.97 % $ 26,279 4.00 % $ 32,849 5.00 % (1) Applicable to banks, but not bank holding companies. The Company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is largely dependent on the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company. The Bank is restricted by law as to the amount of dividends that can be paid. Dividends declared by national banks that exceed net income for the current and preceding two years must be approved by the Bank’s primary banking regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Regardless of formal regulatory restrictions, the Bank may not pay dividends that would result in its capital levels being reduced below the minimum requirements shown above. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Note 21. Fair Value | Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value to provide additional insight into the Company’s quality of earnings. The fair values of some of these assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis while others are measured on a non-recurring basis, with the determination based upon applicable existing accounting pronouncements. For example, securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Other assets, such as MSRs, loans held-for-sale, impaired loans, and OREO are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis using the lower of cost or market methodology to determine impairment of individual assets. The Company groups assets and liabilities which are recorded at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (with Level 1 considered highest and Level 3 considered lowest). A brief description of each level follows. Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes MSRs, impaired loans and OREO. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements: Debt Securities AFS: Impaired loans: Loans held-for-sale: MSRs: OREO: FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, if the fair values can be reasonably determined. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques using observable inputs when available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, segregated by fair value hierarchy, are summarized below: Level 2 2018 2017 Assets: (market approach) U.S. GSE debt securities $ 13,751,103 $ 17,158,742 Agency MBS 15,574,525 16,613,337 ABS and OAS 1,986,129 0 Other investments 8,055,074 4,678,574 $ 39,366,831 $ 38,450,653 There were no Level 1 or Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of the balance sheet dates presented, nor were there any transfers of assets between Levels during either 2018 or 2017.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is considered a “smaller reporting company” under the disclosure rules of the SEC, as amended in 2018. Accordingly, the Company has elected to provide its audited consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for a two year, rather than a three year, period, and intends to provide smaller reporting company scaled disclosures where management deems it appropriate. Beginning with its periodic reports filed in 2018, the Company is considered an accelerated filer under the financial reporting rules of the SEC. FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, in part, addresses limited purpose trusts formed to issue trust preferred securities. It also establishes the criteria used to identify VIE, and to determine whether or not to consolidate a VIE. In general, ASC Topic 810 provides that the enterprise with the controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, consolidates the VIE. In 2007, the Company formed CMTV Statutory Trust I for the purposes of issuing trust preferred securities to unaffiliated parties and investing the proceeds from the issuance thereof and the common securities of the trust in junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of CMTV Statutory Trust I; accordingly, the trust is not consolidated with the Company for financial reporting purposes. CMTV Statutory Trust I is considered an affiliate of the Company (see Note 10). During the years 2011 through 2018, the Company was the sole owner of a LLC formed to facilitate the Company’s purchase of federal NMTC under an investment structure designed by a local community development entity. The NMTC financing matured in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the Company exited the investment and terminated its interest in the LLC. Management evaluated the Company’s interest in the LLC under the ASC guidance relating to VIEs in light of the overall structure and purpose of the NMTC financing transaction and concluded that the LLC should not be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements for financial reporting purposes, as the Company was not the primary beneficiary of the NMTC structure, did not exercise control within the overall structure and was not obligated to absorb a majority of any losses of the NMTC structure (see Note 7). |
Nature of operations | The Company provides a variety of deposit and lending services to individuals, municipalities, and business customers through its branches, ATMs and telephone, mobile and internet banking capabilities in northern and central Vermont, which is primarily a small business and agricultural area. The Company's primary deposit products are checking and savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Its primary lending products are commercial, real estate, municipal and consumer loans. |
Concentration of risk | The Company's operations are affected by various risk factors, including interest rate risk, credit risk, and risk from geographic concentration of its deposit taking and lending activities. Management attempts to manage interest rate risk through various asset/liability management techniques designed to match maturities and repricing of assets and liabilities. Loan policies and administration are designed to provide assurance that loans will only be granted to creditworthy borrowers, although credit losses are expected to occur because of subjective factors inherent in management’s estimate of credit risk and factors beyond the control of the Company. While the Company has a diversified loan portfolio by loan type, most of its lending activities are conducted within the geographic area where its banking offices are located. As a result, the Company and its borrowers may be especially vulnerable to the consequences of changes in the local economy in northern and central Vermont. In addition, a substantial portion of the Company's loans are secured by real estate, which is susceptible to a decline in value, especially during times of adverse economic conditions. |
Use of estimates | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions involve inherent uncertainties. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the ALL and the valuation of OREO. In connection with evaluating loans for impairment or assigning the carrying value of OREO, management generally obtains independent evaluations or appraisals for significant properties. While the ALL and the carrying value of OREO are determined using management's best estimate of probable loan and OREO losses, respectively, as of the balance sheet date, the ultimate collection of a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the fair value of OREO are susceptible to uncertainties and changes in a number of factors, especially local real estate market conditions. The amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and OREO, future additions to the allowance or write-downs of OREO may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions or other relevant factors. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for losses on loans and the carrying value of OREO. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance or write-downs of OREO based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. MSRs associated with loans originated and sold in the secondary market, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. MSRs are amortized against non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. The value of capitalized servicing rights represents the present estimated value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans for third parties. The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of estimated fair value as compared to amortized cost, and impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as a write down. Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests. The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments. Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates and the payment performance of the underlying loans. Management uses a third party consultant to assist in analyzing the fair value of the Company’s MSRs. Management evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to various factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; the nature of the issuer and its financial condition and near-term prospects; and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The evaluation of these factors is a subjective process and involves estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Should actual factors and conditions differ materially from those used by management, the actual realization of gains or losses on investment securities could differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Accounting for a business combination that was completed prior to 2009 requires the application of the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method, the Company was required to record the assets and liabilities acquired through the LyndonBank merger in 2007 at fair market value, with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets recorded as goodwill and evaluated annually for impairment. Management uses various assumptions in evaluating goodwill for impairment. Management utilizes numerous techniques to estimate the carrying value of various other assets held by the Company, including, but not limited to, bank premises and equipment and deferred taxes. The assumptions considered in making these estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed by management to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management acknowledges that the use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different estimates of carrying values. |
Presentation of cash flows | For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing), federal funds sold (generally purchased and sold for one day periods) and overnight deposits. |
Investment securities | Debt securities the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM and reported at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as HTM are classified as AFS, and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax and reclassification adjustments, reflected as a net amount in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets and in the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on sales of debt securities AFS and equity securities. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or call date. The Company does not hold any securities purchased for the purpose of selling in the near term and classified as trading. For individual debt securities that the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of the debt security related to (1) credit loss is recognized in earnings and (2) other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss. Credit loss is deemed to exist if the present value of expected future cash flows using the interest rates at acquisition is less than the amortized cost basis of the debt security. For individual debt securities where the Company intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, the OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. |
Other investments | In December 2011, the Company made an equity investment in a NMTC financing structure, which was fully amortized in 2017 (see Note 7). The Company’s investment in the NMTC financing structure was amortized using the effective yield method. From time to time, the Company acquires partnership interests in limited partnerships for low income housing projects. New investments in limited partnerships are amortized using the proportional amortization method. All investments made before January 1, 2015 are amortized using the effective yield method. The Company has a one-third ownership interest in CFSG, a non-depository trust company (see Note 7). The Company's investment in CFSG is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. |
Restricted equity securities | The Company holds certain restricted equity securities acquired for non-investment purposes, and required as a matter of law or as a condition to the receipt of certain financial products and services. These securities are carried at cost. As a member of the FRBB, the Company is required to invest in FRBB stock in an amount equal to 6% of the Bank's capital stock and surplus. As a member of the FHLBB, the Company is required to invest in $100 par value stock of the FHLBB in an amount that approximates 1% of unpaid principal balances on qualifying loans, plus an additional amount to satisfy an activity based requirement. The stock is nonmarketable and redeemable at par value, subject to the FHLBB’s right to temporarily suspend such redemptions. Members are subject to capital calls in some circumstances to ensure compliance with the FHLBB’s capital plan. In order to access correspondent banking services from the ACBB, the Company is required to invest in a minimum of 20 shares of the common stock of ACBB’s parent company, ACBI. |
Loans held-for-sale | Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. |
Loans | Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balance, adjusted for any charge-offs, the ALL, loan premiums or discounts for acquired loans and any unearned fees or costs on originated loans. Loan interest income is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. For all loan segments, the accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when the loan is delinquent 90 days and management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest income is generally not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is considered by management to be remote. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Loans are returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are brought current and the customer has demonstrated the intent and ability to make future payments on a timely basis. Loans are written down or charged off when collection of principal is considered doubtful. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield. The Company generally amortizes these amounts over the contractual life of the loans. Loan premiums and discounts on loans acquired in the merger with LyndonBank are amortized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loans. Allowance for loan losses The ALL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that future payments of a loan balance are unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Unsecured loans, primarily consumer loans, are charged off when they become uncollectible and no later than 120 days past due. Unsecured loans to customers who subsequently file bankruptcy are charged off within 30 days of receipt of the notification of filing or by the end of the month in which the loans become 120 days past due, whichever occurs first. For secured loans, both residential and commercial, the potential loss on impaired loans is carried as a loan loss reserve specific allocation; the loss portion is charged off when collection of the full loan appears unlikely. The unsecured portion of a real estate loan is that portion of the loan exceeding the "fair value" of the collateral less the estimated cost to sell. Value of the collateral is determined in accordance with the Company’s appraisal policy. The unsecured portion of an impaired real estate secured loan is charged off by the end of the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past due. As described below, the allowance consists of general, specific and unallocated components. However, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses in the loan portfolio, regardless of specific, general and unallocated components considered in determining the amount of the allowance. General component The general component of the ALL is based on historical loss experience and various qualitative factors and is stratified by the following loan segments: commercial and industrial, CRE, residential real estate 1st lien, residential real estate Jr lien and consumer loans. The Company does not disaggregate its portfolio segments further into classes. Loss ratios are calculated by loan segment for one year, two year, three year, four year and five year look back periods. Management uses an average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment in the current economic climate. During periods of economic stability, a relatively longer period (e.g., five years) may be appropriate. During periods of significant expansion or contraction, the Company may appropriately shorten the historical time period. The Company is currently using an extended look back period of five years. Qualitative factors include the levels of and trends in delinquencies and non-performing loans, levels of and trends in loan risk groups, trends in volumes and terms of loans, effects of any changes in loan related policies, experience, ability and the depth of management, documentation and credit data exception levels, national and local economic trends, external factors such as competition and regulation and lastly, concentrations of credit risk in a variety of areas, including portfolio product mix, the level of loans to individual borrowers and their related interests, loans to industry segments, and the geographic distribution of CRE loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. The Company has policies, procedures and internal controls that management believes are commensurate with the risk profile of each of these segments. Major risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial & Industrial – Commercial Real Estate – Residential Real Estate - 1st Lien – Residential Real Estate – Jr Lien – Consumer – Specific component The specific component of the ALL relates to loans that are impaired. Impaired loans are loan(s) to a borrower that in the aggregate are greater than $100,000 and that are in non-accrual status or are TDRs regardless of amount. A specific allowance is established for an impaired loan when its estimated impaired basis is less than the carrying value of the loan. For all loan segments, except consumer loans, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, in management’s estimation it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant or temporary payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management evaluates the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length and frequency of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis, by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans also include troubled loans that are restructured. A TDR occurs when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would otherwise not be granted. TDRs may include the transfer of assets to the Company in partial satisfaction of a troubled loan, a modification of a loan’s terms, or a combination of the two. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer loans for impairment evaluation, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement. Unallocated component An unallocated component of the ALL is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component reflects management’s estimate of the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. |
Bank premises and equipment | Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense as incurred and the cost of major renewals and betterments is capitalized. |
Other real estate owned | Real estate properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure or properties no longer used for bank operations are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of acquisition, foreclosure or transfer. Fair value is determined, as appropriate, either by obtaining a current appraisal or evaluation prepared by an independent, qualified appraiser, by obtaining a broker’s market value analysis, and finally, if the Company has limited exposure and limited risk of loss, by the opinion of management as supported by an inspection of the property and its most recent tax valuation. During periods of declining market values, the Company will generally obtain a new appraisal or evaluation. Any write-down based on the asset's fair value at the date of acquisition or institution of foreclosure is charged to the ALL. After acquisition through or in lieu of foreclosure, these assets are carried at the lower of their new cost basis or fair value. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding the property are expensed as incurred. Appraisals by an independent, qualified appraiser are performed periodically on properties that management deems significant, or evaluations may be performed by management or a qualified third party on OREO properties in the portfolio that are deemed less significant or less vulnerable to market conditions. Subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to other expense. Gains or losses on the sale of such properties are included in income when the properties are sold. |
Intangible assets | Intangible assets include the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) in the Company’s 2007 acquisition of LyndonBank, and in 2017 and prior years also included a core deposit intangible related to the deposits acquired from LyndonBank (see Note 6). The core deposit intangible was amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 years to approximate the pattern of economic benefit to the Company and was fully amortized as of December 31, 2017. Goodwill is not amortizable and is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently as events or circumstances warrant. |
Income taxes | The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting bases and the tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled. Adjustments to the Company's deferred tax assets are recognized as deferred income tax expense or benefit based on management's judgments relating to the outcome of such asset. |
Mortgage servicing | Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or retained upon the sale of loans. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and initially recorded at fair value, and are amortized against non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing rights are periodically evaluated for impairment, based upon the estimated fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying the rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of other assets, to the extent that estimated fair value is less than the capitalized amount at the valuation date. Subsequent improvement, if any, in the estimated fair value of impaired MSRs is reflected in a positive valuation adjustment and is recognized in other income up to (but not in excess of) the amount of the prior impairment. |
Pension costs | Pension costs are charged to salaries and employee benefits expense and accrued over the active service period. |
Advertising costs | The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. |
Comprehensive income | US GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses to be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after-tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are not reflected in the consolidated statement of income, but the cumulative effect of such items from period-to-period is reflected as a separate component of the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet (accumulated other comprehensive income or loss). Other comprehensive income or loss, along with net income, comprises the Company's total comprehensive income. |
Preferred stock | The Company had outstanding 20 shares and 25 shares, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of fixed-to-floating rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, without par value and with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share, issued in December 2007. Under the terms of the preferred stock, the Company pays non-cumulative cash dividends quarterly, when, as and if declared by the Board. Dividends are payable at a variable dividend rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate in effect on the first business day of each quarterly dividend period. A variable rate of 3.75% was in effect for the first quarter of 2017, with increases during 2017 on an almost quarterly basis, to a rate of 4.25% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The variable rate then increased in the fourth quarter of 2017 to 4.50%, and was in effect for the dividend payment due in the first quarter of 2018, followed by quarterly increases each quarter to a rate of 5.25% for the fourth quarter of 2018. The variable rate then increased in the fourth quarter of 2018 to 5.50%, which will be in effect for the first quarter of 2019. A partial redemption of five shares of preferred stock at a redemption price per share of $101,125 (including accrued dividend) occurred on March 31, 2018, accounting for the decrease to 20 outstanding shares at December 31, 2018. |
Earnings per common share | Earnings per common share amounts are computed based on net income, net of dividends to preferred shareholders, and on the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued during the period, including DRIP shares issuable upon reinvestment of dividends (retroactively adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends, if any) and reduced for shares held in treasury. The following table illustrates the calculation of earnings per common share for the periods presented, as adjusted for the cash dividends declared on the preferred stock: Years Ended December 31, 2018 2017 Net income, as reported $ 8,397,532 $ 6,231,298 Less: dividends to preferred shareholders 103,125 101,563 Net income available to common shareholders $ 8,294,407 $ 6,129,735 Weighted average number of common shares used in calculating earnings per share 5,139,297 5,084,102 Earnings per common share $ 1.61 $ 1.21 |
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments | In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial and municipal letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and risk-sharing commitments on residential mortgage loans sold through the FHLBB’s MPF program. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded. |
Transfers of financial assets | Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. |
Impact of recently issued accounting standards | The FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers FASB formed a Transition Resource Group to assist it in identifying implementation issues that may require further clarification or amendment to ASU No. 2014-09. As a result of that group’s deliberations, FASB has issued several amendments, which became effective concurrently with ASU No. 2014-09, including ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments A modified version of these requirements also applies to debt securities classified as available for sale, which will require that credit losses on those securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than a write-down.

[1] | As of December 31, 2017, the Company had borrowed a total of $3,550,000 under the FHLBB's JNE program, a program dedicated to supporting job growth and economic development throughout New England. The FHLBB is providing a subsidy, funded by the FHLBB's earnings, to write down interest rates to zero percent on JNE advances that finance qualifying loans to small businesses. JNE advances must support small business in New England that create and/or retain jobs, or otherwise contribute to overall economic development activities. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company repaid a $2.0 million advance because the "qualifying loan" did not close as intended. |
