The emergence and continuation of COVID-19 as a global pandemic during the first nine months of 2020 has resulted in significant deterioration in the general economic conditions and has caused a deterioration in the environment in which the Corporation operates. The reduction in interest rates and the resultant impact to margin, the impact of full and partial closures on business clients leading to loss of jobs for consumers and reduced cash flow for businesses, the execution of Paycheck Protection Program loans and modifications, and the inflow of deposits as customers flock to safety are all signs indicative of the economic and industry stress. Further, sales price of the Corporation’s common stock has been negatively impacted, as has been the case with stock prices of the Corporation’s peers. Based on the totality of the circumstances and the impact of the economic conditions on the stock price, management concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and engaged an independent third party to perform the quantitative analysis of comparing the fair value of the Corporation to its carrying value, including goodwill. The results of the quantitative impairment analysis indicated that the Corporation’s fair value exceeded the carrying value such that its goodwill was not impaired. However, given the uncertainties surrounding and created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm was not able to complete its review of the Corporation’s quantitative impairment analysis prior to the due date of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and that fact prevents the Corporation from being able to prepare and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q by its due date without unreasonable effort or expense.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

x Yes o No | |||||
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? | |||||
x Yes o No | |||||
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. |

The Corporation expects that its unaudited results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 will show net income of $5.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively, compared to net income of $4.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2019. The increase for the third quarter of 2020 is reflective of an increase in net interest income offset by reduced salary expenses, primarily related to the Paycheck Protection Program loan fees, when compared to the third quarter of 2019. When comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to the same period of 2019, the decrease in net income resulted primarily from increased provision expense and increased professional expenses. The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by the full period-to-period comparisons that will be provided in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to which this Form 12b-25 relates.
