All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is considered a “smaller reporting company” and a “non-accelerated filer” under the disclosure rules of the SEC. 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. 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 13). 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 also engages in lending activity outside the area of its branch network, through loan production offices in Burlington, Vermont and Lebanon, New Hampshire. 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 or northern New England more generally. 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 U.S. 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 include those relating 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 management’s estimate of 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 estimating 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 purchased with the possible intent to sell before maturity 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. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or call date. As of the balance sheet dates, the Company did not hold any securities purchased for the purpose of selling in the near term and classified as trading or any securities purchased with the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and classified as HTM. 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 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 CFS Partners, which in turn owns 100% of CFSG, a non-depository trust company (see Note 10). The Company's investment in CFS Partners 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. 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. 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, municipal, 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 using appropriate 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. Due primarily to the effects of COVID-19, beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the Company shortened its look back period from five years to one year. 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. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company adjusted its ALL analysis to begin applying qualitative factors to municipal loans and certain purchased commercial loans, for which the Company does not have any historical loss data. Of the third quarter 2020 provision for loan losses of $362,499, $106,821 was attributable to this change. 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 – Municipal – Residential Real Estate - 1 st Residential Real Estate – Jr Lien – Consumer – Specific component The specific component of the ALL relates to loans that are impaired. Impaired loans are loans 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 fair value or net present value of future cash flows 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. As described in Note 3, under March 2020 guidance from the federal banking agencies and concurrence by the FASB, certain short-term loan accommodations made in good faith for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 health emergency are not considered TDRs. 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. 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. Comprehe nsive income U.S. 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 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, 2021 2020 Net income, as reported $ 13,138,338 $ 10,758,502 Less: dividends to preferred shareholders 48,750 54,375 Net income available to common shareholders $ 13,089,588 $ 10,704,127 Weighted average number of common shares used in calculating earnings per share 5,345,988 5,274,785 Earnings per common share $ 2.45 $ 2.03 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 (see Note 18). 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. |

Note 2. Risks and Uncertainties | Note 2. Risks and Uncertainties The economic effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic which was declared by the World Health Organization in March 2020 continue to reverberate throughout the national, regional and local economy. Government actions taken during 2020 and 2021 to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses, had significant immediate adverse impacts on the national, regional and local economy. While these restrictions have largely been lifted, the direct and indirect adverse impacts on the local economy in the Company’s market areas persist, particularly with regard to small businesses and their employees, suppliers, vendors and processors. The actions taken by the FOMC in response to the pandemic beginning in March 2020 and throughout the remainder of 2020 and 2021 reducing the targeted federal funds interest rate range to 0% to 0.25% have resulted in a persistent low rate environment. In addition, government actions to provide financial stimulus to mitigate the effects of the pandemic have contributed to an inflationary environment. These government monetary and fiscal policies and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations and may continue to do so in future periods. It is unknown how long the adverse economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company. Due to the inherent economic and other uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its after-effects, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the Company’s consolidated financial statements could be materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of the pandemic, including expected credit losses on loan receivables. |

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 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, 2021. The Company’s investment in FRBB Stock was $588,150 at December 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 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, amounting to $90,000 at December 31, 2021 and 2020. |

Credit Quality Grouping In developing the ALL, management uses credit quality groupings 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 Senior 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, 2021 Residential Residential Commercial Commercial Real Estate Real Estate & Industrial Real Estate Municipal 1st Lien Jr Lien Consumer Total Group A $ 117,607,773 $ 285,732,365 $ 47,955,231 $ 177,456,149 $ 34,166,076 $ 4,464,692 $ 667,382,286 Group B 693,084 6,550,335 0 0 0 0 7,243,419 Group C 2,632,613 8,676,230 0 3,860,197 193,788 0 15,362,828 Total $ 120,933,470 $ 300,958,930 $ 47,955,231 $ 181,316,346 $ 34,359,864 $ 4,464,692 $ 689,988,533 As of December 31, 2020 Residential Residential Commercial Commercial Real Estate Real Estate & Industrial Real Estate Municipal 1st Lien Jr Lien Consumer Total Group A $ 156,748,590 $ 261,932,833 $ 54,807,367 $ 167,478,918 $ 37,850,056 $ 4,280,990 $ 683,098,754 Group B 998,641 12,784,078 0 0 0 0 13,782,719 Group C 3,320,270 5,827,639 0 3,028,345 297,603 0 12,473,857 Total $ 161,067,501 $ 280,544,550 $ 54,807,367 $ 170,507,263 $ 38,147,659 $ 4,280,990 $ 709,355,330 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; · Performed a refinancing and deferred or forgiven principal on the original loan; · Capitalized protective advance to pay delinquent real estate taxes; or · Capitalized delinquent accrued interest. 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. The Company has adopted the TDR guidance issued by the federal banking agencies in March and April 2020 regarding the treatment of certain short-term loan modifications relating to the COVID-19 pandemic (See Note 3). Under this guidance, qualifying concessions and modifications are not considered TDRs. In total, as of December 31, 2021 the Company had granted short term loan concessions and/or modifications within the terms of this guidance to 595 borrowers. A portion of these modified loans were paid in full during 2021, leaving a total of 370 of such loans having an aggregate principal amount of $104.3 million outstanding as of December 31, 2021. These loans may bear a higher risk of default in future periods. New TDRs, by portfolio segment, for the periods presented were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2021 Pre- Post- Modification Modification Outstanding Outstanding Number of Recorded Recorded Contracts Investment Investment Commercial & industrial 1 $ 41,751 $ 41,751 Commercial real estate 2 3,153,402 3,153,402 Residential real estate 1st lien 1 67,007 67,007 4 $ 3,262,160 $ 3,262,160 Year ended December 31, 2020 Pre- Post- Modification Modification Outstanding Outstanding Number of Recorded Recorded Contracts Investment Investment Residential real estate 1st lien 6 $ 591,826 $ 687,751 The TDRs for which there was a payment default during the twelve month periods presented were as follows: Year ended December 31, 2021 Number of Recorded Contracts Investment Commercial & industrial 1 $ 38,001 Commercial real estate 2 $ 3,081,810 3 $ 3,119,811 Year ended December 31, 2020 Number of Recorded Contracts Investment Residential real estate - 1st lien 1 $ 165,168 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: 2021 2020 Specific allowance $ 79,978 $ 108,781 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. |

JNE advances must support small business in New England that create and/or retain jobs, or otherwise contribute to overall economic development activities. 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, as well as certain qualifying CRE loans. Qualified collateral for these borrowings totaled $134,211,623 and $132,667,958 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the Company's gross potential borrowing capacity under this arrangement was $100,230,091 and $93,052,713, 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, 2021, $59,875,000 in FHLBB letters of credit was utilized as collateral for these deposits compared to $23,475,000 at December 31, 2020. Total fees paid by the Company in connection with issuance of these letters of credit were $60,606 for 2021 and $46,748 for 2020. The Company also maintained a $500,000 IDEAL Way Line of Credit with the FHLBB at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, CRE loans not pledged to FHLBB and home equity loans, resulting in an available line of $52,260,374 and $50,378,933 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 25 basis points as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no outstanding advances against this line. The Company has unsecured lines of credit with two correspondent banks at December 31, 2021 with aggregate available borrowing capacity totaling $20,500,000, compared to unsecured lines of credit with three correspondent banks with aggregate available borrowing capacity of $25,500,000 at December 31, 2020. The Company had no outstanding advances against these lines for the periods presented. |

Note 13. Junior Subordinated Debentures | Note 13. Junior Subordinated Debentures As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 LIBOR plus 2.85%. During 2021, the floating rate averaged 3.01% per quarter compared to an average rate of 3.65% per quarter for 2020. 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 2021 and 2020 was $393,105 and $476,666, 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 23). |

Financial Instruments with OffBalanceSheet Risk | |
Note 18. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk | Note 18. 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 2021 2020 Unused portions of home equity lines of credit $ 36,281,001 $ 35,217,177 Residential and commercial construction lines of credit 6,731,575 14,843,617 Commercial real estate commitments 47,804,534 32,888,666 Commercial and industrial commitments 56,382,838 57,848,075 Other commitments to extend credit 43,227,424 42,140,295 Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit 2,108,050 1,585,000 Recourse on sale of credit card portfolio 305,305 327,855 MPF credit enhancement obligation, net (See Note 19) 552,158 552,158 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, 2021 and 2020, the Company had binding loan commitments to sell residential mortgages at fixed rates totaling $1,906,200 and $1,280,400, respectively. 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 13). |

Contingent Liability | |
Note 19. Contingent Liability | Note 19. 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, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $22,916,680 and $28,137,890, respectively, in loans sold through the MPF program and on which the Company had a CEO. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the notional amount of the maximum CEO related to this program was $637,102, and the accrued contingent liability for this CEO was $84,944. The contingent liability is calculated by management based on the methodology used in calculating the ALL, adjusted to reflect the risk sharing arrangements with the FHLBB. |

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. The Company pays monthly management fees to CFSG for its services to the 401(k) plan amounting to $65,550 and $48,780, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. |

Regulatory Capital Requirements | |
Note 23. Regulatory Capital Requirements | Note 23. 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 the 2018 Regulatory Relief Act, these capital requirements have been simplified for qualifying community banks and bank holding companies. In September 2019, the OCC and the other federal bank regulators approved a final joint rule that permits a qualifying community banking organization to opt in to a simplified regulatory capital framework. A qualifying institution that elects to utilize the simplified framework must maintain a CBLR in excess of 9%, and will thereby be deemed to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and other leverage capital requirements and (if applicable) the FDIC’s prompt corrective action framework. In order to utilize the CBLR framework, in addition to maintaining a CBLR of over 9%, a community banking organization must have less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets and must meet certain other criteria such as limitations on the amount of off-balance sheet exposures and on trading assets and liabilities. The CBLR is calculated by dividing tangible equity capital by average total consolidated assets. The final rule became effective on January 1, 2020 for capital calculations as of March 31, 2020 and thereafter. 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% is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The Company and the Bank were fully compliant as of the periods presented in the table below. Pursuant to the CARES Act, the federal banking agencies adopted an interim rule temporarily lowering the CBLR benchmark to in excess of 8%, rather than 9%, with a phased increase of the CBLR back to the 9% level by the end of 2021. The Company and Bank qualified to utilize the CBLR framework, but did not elect to do so. As of December 31, 2021, the Bank was considered well capitalized under the regulatory capital framework for Prompt Corrective Action and the Company exceeded currently applicable consolidated regulatory guidelines for capital adequacy. While we believe that the Company has sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic downturn in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, our regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by future credit losses and other operational impacts related to COVID-19.

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. |

Note 24. Fair Value | Note 24. 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, collateral-dependent 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: 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: Assets: (market approach) 2021 2020 Level 1 U.S. Government securities $ 32,041,041 $ 0 Level 2 U.S. GSE debt securities $ 11,828,498 $ 8,169,831 Taxable municipal securities 298,733 0 Tax-exempt municipal securities 831,379 0 Agency MBS 127,132,521 41,378,349 ABS and OAS 2,214,024 2,669,996 CMO 1,420,458 0 Other investments 6,575,805 8,487,002 Level 2 Total $ 150,301,418 $ 60,705,178 Grand Total $ 182,342,459 $ 60,705,178 There were no 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 2021 or 2020. Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The following table includes assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis that have had a fair value adjustment since their initial recognition. Impaired loans measured at fair value only include impaired loans with a partial write-down or with a related specific ALL and are presented net of the specific allowances as disclosed in Note 5. Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, segregated by fair value hierarchy, are summarized below: Level 2 2021 2020 Assets: (market approach) Impaired loans, net of related allowance $ 177,523 $ 323,645 Loans held-for-sale 339,000 130,400 MSRs (1) 897,720 922,146 1) Represents MSRs at lower of cost or fair value, including MSRs deemed to be impaired and for which a valuation allowance was established to carry at fair value at December 31, 2021 and 2020. There were no Level 1 or Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis as of the balance sheet dates presented, nor were there any transfers of assets between Levels during either 2021 or 2020. 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. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of the balance sheet dates were as follows: December 31, 2021 Fair Fair Fair Fair Carrying Value Value Value Value Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in Thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 110,359 $ 110,359 $ 0 $ 0 $ 110,359 Debt securities AFS 182,342 32,041 150,301 0 182,342 Restricted equity securities 1,434 0 1,434 0 1,434 Loans and loans held-for-sale, net of ALL Commercial & industrial 119,382 0 0 120,146 120,146 Commercial real estate 296,528 0 29 297,339 297,368 Municipal 47,841 0 0 49,419 49,419 Residential real estate - 1st lien 180,271 0 149 180,302 180,451 Residential real estate - Jr lien 34,151 0 0 34,189 34,189 Consumer 4,406 0 0 4,436 4,436 MSRs (1) 898 0 995 0 995 Accrued interest receivable 2,401 0 2,401 0 2,401 Financial liabilities: Deposits Other deposits 879,151 0 879,545 0 879,545 Brokered deposits 249 0 246 0 246 Long-term borrowings 1,300 0 1,179 0 1,179 Repurchase agreements 32,610 0 32,610 0 32,610 Operating lease obligations 864 0 864 0 864 Finance lease obligations 3,858 0 3,858 0 3,858 Subordinated debentures 12,887 0 12,868 0 12,868 Accrued interest payable 59 0 59 0 59 1) Reported fair value represents all MSRs for loans serviced by the Company at December 31, 2021, regardless of carrying amount.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is considered a “smaller reporting company” and a “non-accelerated filer” under the disclosure rules of the SEC. 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. 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 13). |
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 also engages in lending activity outside the area of its branch network, through loan production offices in Burlington, Vermont and Lebanon, New Hampshire. 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 or northern New England more generally. 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 U.S. 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 include those relating 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 management’s estimate of 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 estimating 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 purchased with the possible intent to sell before maturity 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. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or call date. As of the balance sheet dates, the Company did not hold any securities purchased for the purpose of selling in the near term and classified as trading or any securities purchased with the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and classified as HTM. 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 | 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 CFS Partners, which in turn owns 100% of CFSG, a non-depository trust company (see Note 10). The Company's investment in CFS Partners 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. 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. 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, municipal, 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 using appropriate 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. Due primarily to the effects of COVID-19, beginning in the second quarter of 2020, the Company shortened its look back period from five years to one year. 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. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company adjusted its ALL analysis to begin applying qualitative factors to municipal loans and certain purchased commercial loans, for which the Company does not have any historical loss data. Of the third quarter 2020 provision for loan losses of $362,499, $106,821 was attributable to this change. 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 – Municipal – Residential Real Estate - 1 st Residential Real Estate – Jr Lien – Consumer – Specific component The specific component of the ALL relates to loans that are impaired. Impaired loans are loans 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 fair value or net present value of future cash flows 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. As described in Note 3, under March 2020 guidance from the federal banking agencies and concurrence by the FASB, certain short-term loan accommodations made in good faith for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 health emergency are not considered TDRs. 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. 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 | U.S. 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 | In December 2007, the Company issued 25 shares of fixed-to-floating rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, without par value and having a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. There were 15 shares of preferred stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 4.75% was in effect for the dividend payments due in the first quarter of 2020, followed by two decreases with a rate of 3.25% in effect for the last three quarters of 2020, as well as the four quarters of 2021. Partial redemptions of the Company’s preferred stock began in 2018, and are at the discretion of management and voted on by the Board. Prior to 2020, the Company had redeemed 10 shares of preferred stock at an aggregate redemption price of $1,000,000 plus accrued dividends. The Company chose to not redeem any additional preferred shares during 2020 or 2021, but may consider further redemptions in future periods. |
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, 2021 2020 Net income, as reported $ 13,138,338 $ 10,758,502 Less: dividends to preferred shareholders 48,750 54,375 Net income available to common shareholders $ 13,089,588 $ 10,704,127 Weighted average number of common shares used in calculating earnings per share 5,345,988 5,274,785 Earnings per common share $ 2.45 $ 2.03 |
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 (see Note 18). |
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. |
