PART I
ITEM 1.    Business
Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Report”) contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations, and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Report.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
our ability to manage our operations under the current economic conditions nationally and in our market area, including the scope and duration of economic contraction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19") and its effects on the Company’s business and that of the Company’s customers;
adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit, and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short-term and long-term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;
declines in the yield on our interest-earning assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;
significant increases in our loan losses, including our inability to resolve classified and nonperforming assets or reduce risks associated with our loans, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;
credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses;
loan delinquencies and changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers;
our success in increasing our commercial real estate and commercial business lending;
our ability to maintain/improve our asset quality even as we increase our commercial real estate and commercial business lending;
risks related to a high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;
fluctuations in the demand for loans;
competitive products and pricing among depository and other financial institutions;
our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
our ability to successfully integrate the operations of businesses we have acquired;
our ability to attract and maintain deposits and our success in introducing new financial products;
changes in our compensation and benefit plans, and our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team and to address staffing needs in response to product demand or to implement our strategic plans;
our ability to control costs and expenses, particularly those associated with operating as a publicly traded company;
technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;
the failure or security breaches of computer systems on which we depend;
1


the ability of preventing or detecting cybersecurity attacks on customer credentials, developing multiple layers of security controls that defend against malicious use of customer internet-based products and services of Community Bank, and our business continuity plan to recover from a malware or other cybersecurity attack;
the ability of key third-party service providers to perform their obligations to us; and
changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements, regulatory fees and compliance costs, and the resources we have available to address such changes;
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
exploration and drilling of natural gas reserves in our market area may be affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting production, permitting, environmental protection and other matters, which could materially and adversely affect our customers, loan and deposit volume, and asset quality;
our customers who depend on the exploration and drilling of natural gas reserves may be materially and adversely affected by decreases in the market prices for natural gas;
other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services described elsewhere in this Report.
Given the numerous unknowns and risks that are heavily weighted to the downside due to COVID-19, our forward-looking statements are subject to the risk that conditions will be substantially different than we currently expect. If efforts to contain COVID-19 are unsuccessful and government restriction last longer than expected, the recession would be much longer and much more severe and damaging. Ineffective fiscal stimulus, or an extended delay in implementing it, are also major risks. The deeper the recession and the longer it lasts, the more it will damage consumer fundamentals and sentiment. This could both prolong the recession and make any recovery weaker. Similarly, the recession could damage business fundamentals. As a result, the outbreak and its consequences, including responsive measures to manage it, have had and are likely to continue to have an adverse effect, possibly materially, on our business and financial performance by adversely affecting, possibly materially, the demand and profitability of our products and services, the valuation of assets and our ability to meet the needs of our customers.
The ability to predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s future operating results with any precision is difficult and depends on many factors beyond our control. The Company's market area was impacted in 2020 by state-wide shelter-in-place orders and closing all but essential businesses. Certain government restrictions remain in effect. The far-reaching consequences of these actions and the crisis is unknown and will largely depend on the extent and length of the recession combined with how quickly the economy can re-open. For example:
While specific actions have been taken to protect employees through work-at-home arrangements and social distancing measures for those working in our offices, outbreak among employees could result in closure of branches or back office operations for quarantine purposes and result in the unavailability of key employees and disruption of services provided to customers.
The lack of economic activity may curtail lending opportunities, especially from a commercial perspective, and impact our customers involved in vulnerable industries such as hospitality, retail, office space, senior housing, oil and gas, and restaurants.
Forbearance activity and any additional forbearance that may be needed could impact cash flows and liquidity.
Delinquencies, nonperforming loans, charge-offs and the related provision for loan losses, and foreclosures may significantly increase after forbearance period ends, if economic stimulus does not have the intended outcome, and/or if the economy does not fully re-open allowing people to return to work.
A sustained economic downturn may result in a decrease in the Company’s value and result in potential material impairment to its intangible assets, and/or long-lived assets or additional impairment to goodwill.
The Federal Reserve Board’s decision in March 2020 to drop the benchmark interest rate from a range of 1.5% to 1.75% to a range of 0% to 0.25% as part of a wide-ranging emergency action to protect the economy from the COVID-19 outbreak may result in an influx of loan refinances that could impact the Company’s net interest income and cause margin compression.
The lack of economic activity may negatively impact our noninterest income through less fee activity, such as from customer debit card swipes for purchases.
Insurance commissions may decline because workers compensation policies are mainly determined based on payroll figures, which could decrease due to job loss.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the expected results indicated by these forward-looking statements.
In this Report, the terms “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to CB Financial Services, Inc., and Community Bank, unless the context indicates another meaning. In addition, we sometimes refer to CB Financial Services, Inc., as “CB,” or the “Company” and to Community Bank as the “Bank.”

The Bank operates from 15 offices in Greene, Allegheny, Washington, Fayette and Westmoreland Counties in southwestern Pennsylvania; six offices in Brooke, Marshall, Ohio, Upshur and Wetzel Counties in West Virginia; and one office in Belmont County in Ohio. On September 30, 2020, the Bank completed the closure of the Monessen office in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania and the Bethlehem office in Ohio County, West Virginia reducing the total number of branches to 22. The Bank also has two loan production offices in Fayette and Allegheny County, a corporate center in Washington County and an operations center in Greene County in Pennsylvania. The Bank is a community-oriented institution offering residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer loans as well as a variety of deposit products for individuals and businesses in its market area. In addition, the Bank is the sole shareholder of Exchange Underwriters, Inc. ("Exchange Underwriters" or “EU”), a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Washington County that is a full-service, independent insurance agency that offers property and casualty, commercial liability, surety and other insurance products. Exchange Underwriters' independent insurance agents shop from over 50 of the nation’s leading insurance providers to find the policy that fits their client's needs.
The Bank was originally chartered in 1901 as The First National Bank of Carmichaels. In 1987, the Bank changed its name to Community Bank, National Association. In December 2006, the Bank completed a charter conversion from a national bank to a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank wholly-owned by the Company.

Recently Announced Branch Optimization Initiative
On February 23, 2021, the Company announced the implementation of strategic initiatives to improve the Bank’s financial performance and to position the Bank for continued profitable growth. The Bank intends to optimize its current branch network through the consolidation of six branches and the possible divestiture of others, while expanding technology and infrastructure investments in its remaining locations. The decision was the result of a comprehensive internal study that measured branch performance by comparing financial and non-financial indicators to growth opportunities, while evolving changes in consumer preferences, largely driven by the global pandemic, led to an acceleration of branch optimization efforts. The Bank plans to provide affected customers with details to ensure a seamless transition with minimal disruption to their daily banking needs.
Management believes this initiative is an important first step to improve the Bank’s operations, and to provide enhanced efficiency and production capabilities. The Bank has also engaged with third-party workflow optimization experts to assist in implementing a number of robotic process automations and more effective sales management that it expects will improve operational efficiencies in the near and long-term. These efforts will likely result in additional innovations designed to improve growth prospects for the Bank as customer preferences for mobile and other technology-based services evolve.
In connection with the branch consolidations and the other branch optimization initiatives, the Company anticipates non-recurring pre-tax costs during 2021 of up to $6.1 million. This estimated cost excludes the impact of any premium from sale of branches, and assumes no salvage value, lease termination, severance, and other costs associated with the consolidations or sales; however, the Company does anticipate some recovery of these costs over time. The Company expects an annual
3


reduction in pre-tax operating expenses in 2021 of approximately $1.5 million, along with $3.0 million of ongoing pre-tax cost savings as a result of the implementation of the branch optimization initiatives.
Past Mergers
Effective October 31, 2014, the Company completed a merger with FedFirst Financial Corporation (“FedFirst”), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank (“FFSB”), a federally chartered stock savings bank. As part of the merger, the Company also acquired FFSB's subsidary, Exchange Underwriters. The merger expanded the Company’s reach into Fayette and Westmoreland counties in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Effective April 30, 2018, the Company completed its merger with First West Virginia Bancorp (“FWVB”), the holding company for Progressive Bank, N.A. (“PB”), a national association. The FWVB merger enhanced the Bank’s exposure into the core of the Tri-State region with the addition of branches in West Virginia and Eastern Ohio.
Effective August 1, 2018, Exchange Underwriters merged with Beynon Insurance Agency to become one of the largest insurance agencies in the Pittsburgh Region. The merger brought together two long-standing, locally owned and operated Southwestern Pennsylvania independent insurance agencies both built upon the same values and culture of serving their customers.
Business Strategy
We intend to operate as a well-capitalized and profitable community bank dedicated to providing exceptional personal service to our customers. We believe that we have a competitive advantage in the markets we serve because of our knowledge of the local marketplace and our long-standing history of providing superior, relationship-based customer service. We will continue to grow and create value for our shareholders. Our employees will be treated fairly and given opportunities for personal growth. We will be closely involved in improving our communities.Our business strategies emphasize building on core strengths and are discussed below.
Create a sales and service culture to build full relationships with our customers and utilize technology investments to enhance speed of process to improve our customer experience. We have successfully grown valuable core deposits (demand deposits, NOW accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts) that represent longer-term customer relationships and provide a lower cost of funding compared to certificates of deposit and borrowings. Empowering our experienced, high quality employees to provide superior customer service in all aspects of our business which is further supported by the use of technology and a wide array of modern financial products can lead to stronger customer relationships, enhance fee revenue and allow the Bank to be the bank of choice across our footprint for residents and small and medium sized businesses.
Evolve toward more electronic/digital products and processes driving greater efficiency and expand our brand awareness in our market. We intend to focus on building our mobile and online capabilities through an improved mobile banking platform and product offering, omnichannel experience that is consistent with quick results and interactive alerts.
Enhance profitability and efficiency while continuing to invest for future growth. Margin compression is a challenge as a result of pandemic-induced interest rate reductions. To combat this potential impact on core earnings, we view cost reduction as a key part of a company-wide efficiency effort. Short-term targeted cost reductions combined with long-term strategic initiatives will better position the Company for high performance. In addition, this strategy aligns with our efforts to simplify processes while utilizing technology to improve efficiency and build capabilities that supports future growth and high performance.
Continue our track record of opportunistic growth in the robust Pittsburgh metropolitan area and across our footprint. We believe we have competed effectively by leveraging a steadily growing branch network and a full assortment of banking products to facilitate deposit and loan growth in our core locations, including southwestern Pennsylvania, Ohio River Valley, and central West Virginia.
Leverage our credit culture and strong loan underwriting to uphold our asset quality metrics. We have sought to maintain a high level of asset quality and moderate credit risk by using underwriting standards that we believe are conservative. Although we intend to continue our efforts to originate commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans, we intend to continue our philosophy of managing loan exposures through our conservative, yet reasonable, approach to lending.
Increase fee and other non-interest income, primarily through our insurance operations, as well as mortgage banking and small business lending. Fee income earned through our insurance agency, Exchange Underwriters, supplements our income from banking operations. We intend to pursue opportunities to grow this line of business, including hiring insurance producers with established books of business and through acquisitions.

Human Capital
The Bank's culture is defined by our mission of being an exceptional, independent financial institution. We value our employees by investing in a healthy work-life balance, competitive compensation and benefit packages and a vibrant, team-oriented environment centered on professional service and open communication. We strive to build and maintain a high-performing culture and be an “employer of choice” by creating a work environment that attracts and retains outstanding, engaged employees. The success of our business is highly dependent on our employees, who provide value to our clients and communities through their dedication to helping clients achieve the American dream of home ownership and financial security.
Demographics. As of December 31, 2020, we employed 254 full-time and 6 part-time employees across our three-state footprint. None of these employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. During 2020, we hired 41 employees and our voluntary turnover rate was 17.5%.
Diversity and Inclusion. We strive toward having a powerful and diverse team of employees, knowing we are better together with our combined wisdom and intellect. With a commitment to equality, inclusion, and workplace diversity, we focus on understanding, accepting, and valuing the differences between people. We continued our commitment to equal employment opportunity through a robust affirmative action plan which includes annual compensation analyses and ongoing reviews of our selection and hiring practices alongside a continued focus on building and maintaining a diverse workforce.
Compensation and Benefits. We provide a competitive compensation and benefits program to help meet the needs of our employees. In addition to salaries, these programs include opportunity for annual bonuses, a 401(k) Plan with an employer matching contribution in addition to an employer annual contribution, an equity incentive plan, healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings, flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave and an employee assistance program.
Learning and Development. We invest in the growth and development of our employees by providing a multi-dimensional approach to learning that empowers, intellectually grows, and professionally develops our colleagues. Our employees receive continuing education courses that are relevant to the banking industry and their job function within the Company. In addition, we have created learning paths for specific positions that are designed to encourage an employee’s advancement and growth within our organization. We support and encourage managers to hire from within. We also offer a peer mentor program, leadership, and customer service training. These resources provide employees with the skills they need to achieve their career goals, build management skills, and become leaders within our Company.
The safety, health and wellness of our employees is a top priority. The COVID-19 pandemic presented a unique challenge with regard to maintaining employee safety while continuing successful operations. Through teamwork and the adaptability of our management and staff, we were able to transition, over a short period of time, 25% of our employees to effectively working from remote locations. Additionally, we developed a safely distanced working environment for employees performing client facing activities, at branches and operations centers. We further promote the health and wellness of our employees by strongly encouraging work-life balance, offering flexible work schedules, keeping the employee portion of health care premiums to a minimum and sponsoring various wellness programs.
Market Area
The Company’s southwestern Pennsylvania market area consists of Allegheny, Greene, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland Counties. Greene County is a significantly more rural county compared to the counties in which we have our other branches. Our offices located in Allegheny, Washington, Fayette, and Westmoreland Counties are in the southern suburban area of metropolitan Pittsburgh. Our branches from the FWVB merger extend the Company’s market area into West Virginia with six offices in Brooke, Marshall, Ohio, Upshur and Wetzel Counties; and one office in Belmont County in eastern Ohio.

The market area has been impacted by the energy industry through the extraction of untapped natural gas reserves in the Marcellus Shale Formation. The Marcellus Shale Formation extends throughout much of the Appalachian Basin and most of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Eastern Ohio and is located near high-demand markets along the East Coast. The proximity to these markets makes it an attractive target for energy development and has resulted in significant job creation through the development of gas wells and transportation of gas.
Competition
We encounter significant competition both in attracting deposits and in originating real estate and other loans. Our most direct competition for deposits historically has come from other commercial banks, savings banks, savings associations and credit unions in our market area, and we expect continued strong competition from such financial institutions in the foreseeable future. The Company faces additional competition for deposits from online financial institutions and non-depository competitors, such as the mutual fund industry, securities and brokerage firms, and insurance companies. We compete for deposits by offering depositors a high level of personal service and expertise together with a wide range of financial services. Our deposit sources are primarily concentrated in the communities surrounding our banking offices. As of June 30, 2020, our FDIC-insured deposit market share in the counties we serve, out of 59 bank and thrift institutions, was 0.65%. Such data does not reflect deposits held by credit unions.
The competition for real estate and other loans comes principally from other commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, government-sponsored entities, savings banks and savings associations. This competition for loans has increased substantially in recent years. We compete for loans primarily through the interest rates, prepayment penalties, and loan fees we charge and the efficiency and quality of services we provide to borrowers. Factors that affect competition include general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels and the volatility of the mortgage markets.
Lending Activities
General. Our principal lending activity has been the origination in our local market area of residential one- to four-family, commercial real estate, construction, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans. At December 31, 2020, our total loans receivable, which excludes the allowance for loan losses, was $1.04 billion compared to $952.5 million at December 31, 2019. Our overall loan growth was $92.3 million, or 9.7%.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential real estate loans are comprised of loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties. Included in residential real estate loans are traditional one- to four-family mortgage loans, home equity installment loans, and home equity lines of credit. We generate loans through our marketing efforts, existing customers and referrals, real estate brokers, builders and local businesses. At December 31, 2020, $344.1 million, or 32.9%, of our total loan portfolio was invested in residential loans.
One- to Four-Family Mortgage Loans. One of our primary lending activities is the origination of fixed-rate, one- to four-family, owner-occupied, residential mortgage loans with terms up to 30 years secured by property located in our market area. At December 31, 2020, one- to four-family mortgage loans totaled $251.4 million. Our one- to four-family residential mortgage loans are generally conforming loans, underwritten according to secondary market guidelines. We generally originate mortgage loans in amounts up to the maximum conforming loan limits established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which, for 2020, is typically $510,400 for single-family homes, except in certain high-cost areas in the United States. At December 31, 2020, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans with principal balances in excess of $510,400, commonly referred to as jumbo loans, totaled $38.5 million. Our mortgage loans amortize monthly with principal and interest due each month. These loans often remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual terms because borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option without a prepayment penalty.
When underwriting one- to four-family mortgage loans, we review and verify each loan applicant’s income and credit history. Management believes that stability of income and past credit history are integral parts in the underwriting process. Written appraisals are generally required on real estate property offered to secure an applicant’s loan. We generally limit the loan-to-value ratios of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans to 80% of the purchase price or appraised value of the property, whichever is less. For one- to four-family real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios of over 80%, we generally require private mortgage insurance. We require fire and casualty insurance on all properties securing real estate loans. We require title insurance, or an attorney’s title opinion, as circumstances warrant.
Our one- to four-family mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses, which give us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the underlying real property serving as collateral for the loan.
Fixed-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans with terms of 15 years or more are originated for resale to the secondary market. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we originated $32.1 million and $10.7 million of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans, respectively, which were subsequently sold in the secondary mortgage market.
The origination of fixed-rate mortgage loans versus adjustable-rate mortgage loans is monitored on an ongoing basis and is affected significantly by the level of market interest rates, customer preference, our interest rate risk position and our competitors’ loan products. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate totaled $40.3 million at December 31, 2020. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans make our loan portfolio more interest rate sensitive. However, as the interest income earned on adjustable-rate mortgage loans varies with prevailing interest rates, such loans do not offer predictable cash flows in the same manner as long-term, fixed-rate loans. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans carry increased credit risk associated with potentially higher monthly payments by borrowers as general market interest rates increase. It is possible that during periods of rising interest rates that the risk of delinquencies and defaults on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest costs to the borrower, resulting in increased loan losses.

We do not offer an “interest only” mortgage loan product on one- to four-family residential properties (where the borrower pays interest for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan). We also do not offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not offer a “subprime loan” program (loans that generally target borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios) or Alt-A loans (traditionally defined as loans having less than full documentation). We may originate loans to consumers with a credit score below 660. This may be defined as subprime loans, however there are typically mitigating circumstances that according to FDIC guidance and our opinion would not designate such loans as “subprime.”
Home Equity Loans. At December 31, 2020, home equity loans totaled $92.7 million. Our home equity loans and lines of credit are generally secured by the borrower’s principal residence. The maximum amount of a home equity loan or line of credit is generally 85% of the appraised value of a borrower’s real estate collateral less the amount of any prior mortgages or related liabilities. Home equity loans and lines of credit are approved with both fixed and adjustable interest rates, which we determine based upon market conditions. Such loans are fully amortized over the life of the loan. Generally, the maximum term for home equity loans is 20 years.
Our underwriting standards for home equity loans include a determination of the applicant’s credit history and an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. We also consider the length of employment with the borrower’s present employer. Creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration; however, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral in relation to the proposed loan amount.
We primarily originate home equity loans secured by first lien mortgages. Home equity loans in a junior lien position totaled $12.1 million at December 31, 2020 and entail greater risks than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans or home equity loans secured by first lien mortgages. In such cases, collateral repossessed after a default may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of damage or depreciation in the value of the property or loss of equity to the first lien position. Further, home equity loan payments are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Finally, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans in the event of a default.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans that are secured primarily by improved properties, such as retail facilities, office buildings and other non-residential buildings as well as multifamily properties. At December 31, 2020, $373.6 million, or 35.9% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of commercial real estate loans.
Our commercial real estate loans generally have adjustable interest rates with terms of up to 15 years and amortization periods up to 25 years. The adjustable rate loans are typically fixed for the first five years and adjust every five years thereafter. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our commercial real estate loans is generally 75% to 80% of the lower of cost or appraised value of the property securing the loan.
We consider a number of factors in originating commercial real estate loans. We evaluate the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including project-level and global cash flows and debt service coverage, credit history and management expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property, securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, we consider the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with the Bank and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors considered include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, and the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the property. We generally will not lend to high volatility commercial real estate projects. All commercial real estate loans are appraised by outside independent state certified general appraisers. Personal guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of commercial real estate loan borrowers, although this requirement may be waived in limited circumstances depending upon the loan-to-value ratio and the debt-service ratio associated with the loan. The Bank requires property and casualty insurance and flood insurance if the property is in a flood zone area.
We underwrite commercial real estate loan participations to the same standards as loans originated by us. In addition, we consider the financial strength and reputation of the lead lender. We require the lead lender to provide a full closing package as well as annual financial statements for the borrower and related entities so that we can conduct an annual loan review for all loan participations. Loans secured by commercial real estate generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the effects of general economic conditions on income producing properties and the successful operation or management of the properties securing the loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the
8


successful operation of the related business and real estate property. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
Construction Loans. We originate construction loans to individuals to finance the construction of residential dwellings and also originate loans for the construction of commercial properties, including hotels, apartment buildings, housing developments, and owner-occupied properties used for businesses. At December 31, 2020, $72.6 million, or 6.9% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of construction loans. Our construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually 12 to 18 months. At the end of the construction phase, the loan generally converts to a permanent residential or commercial mortgage loan. Loans generally can be made with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% on both residential and commercial construction. Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require a pro forma appraisal of the property, as completed by an independent licensed appraiser. We also will require an inspection of the property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. We typically do not lend to developers unless they maintain a 15% cash equity position in the project.
Commercial and Industrial Loans. We originate commercial and industrial loans and lines of credit to borrowers located in our market area that are generally secured by collateral other than real estate, such as equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, and other business assets. At December 31, 2020, $126.8 million, or 12.1% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of commercial and industrial loans, of which $55.1 million are Payroll Protection Program ("PPP") loans.
Exclusive of PPP loans, commercial and industrial loans generally have terms of maturity from five to seven years with adjustable interest rates tied to the prime rate, LIBOR or the weekly average of the FHLB of Pittsburgh three- to ten-year fixed rates. We generally obtain personal guarantees from the borrower or a third party as a condition to originating the loan. On a limited basis, we will originate unsecured business loans in those instances where the applicant’s financial strength and creditworthiness has been established. Commercial business loans generally bear higher interest rates than residential loans, but they also may involve a higher risk of default because their repayment is generally dependent on the successful operation of the borrower’s business.
Our underwriting standards for commercial business loans include a determination of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan from normal cash flows generated in the applicant’s business. We assess the financial strength of each applicant through the review of financial statements and tax returns provided by the applicant. The creditworthiness of an applicant is derived from a review of credit reports as well as a search of public records. We periodically review business loans following origination. We request financial statements at least annually and review them for substantial deviations or changes that might affect repayment of the loan. Our loan officers may also visit the premises of borrowers to observe the business premises, facilities, and personnel and to inspect the pledged collateral. Lines of credit secured with accounts receivable and inventory typically require that the customer provide a monthly borrowing base certificate that is reviewed prior to each draw request. Underwriting standards for business loans are different for each type of loan depending on the financial strength of the applicant and the value of collateral offered as security. All commercial loans are assigned a risk rating, which is reviewed internally, as well as by independent loan review professionals, annually.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provided over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which included authorizing the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the PPP. On April 16, 2020, the original $349 billion funding cap was reached. On April 23, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPP Enhancement Act”) was signed into law and included an additional $484 billion in COVID-19 relief, including allocating an additional $310 billion to replenish the PPP.
PPP was designed to help small businesses keep their workforce employed and cover expenses during the COVID-19 crisis. Under the PPP, participating SBA and other qualifying lenders originated loans to eligible businesses that are fully guaranteed by the SBA as to principal and accrued interest, have more favorable terms than traditional SBA loans and may be forgiven if the proceeds are used by the borrower for certain eligible purposes. PPP loans have an interest rate of 1% per annum. Loans issued prior to June 5, 2020 have a term to maturity of two-years and loans issued after June 5, 2020 have a term to maturity of five-years. Loan payments were deferred for six months. The Bank received a processing fee from the SBA ranging from 1% to 5% depending on the size of the loan, which was offset by a 0.75% third-party servicing agent fee.
In 2020, the Bank originated 639 loans totaling $71.0 million. Among the largest sectors impacted were $15.6 million in loans for health care and social assistance, $12.6 million for construction and specialty-trade contractors, $6.1 million for professional and technical services, $6.1 million for retail trade, $5.1 million for wholesale trade, $4.6 million for manufacturing and $3.4 million for restaurant and food services. Net deferred origination fees were $2.2 million, of which $1.1 million was recognized during year ended December 31, 2020. Processing of PPP loan forgiveness began in the fourth quarter of 2020 and at December 31, 2020, PPP loans totaled $55.1 million. No allowance for loan loss was allocated to the PPP loan portfolio due to the Bank complying with the lender obligations that ensure SBA guarantee.

Consumer Loans. We originate consumer loans that primarily consist of indirect auto loans and, to a lesser extent, secured and unsecured loans and lines of credit. As of December 31, 2020, consumer loans totaled $113.9 million, or 10.9%, of our total loan portfolio, of which $106.4 million were indirect auto loans. Consumer loans are generally offered on a fixed-rate basis. Our underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s credit history and an assessment of the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. The stability of the applicant’s monthly income may be determined by verification of gross monthly income from primary employment, and additionally from any verifiable secondary income. We also consider the length of employment with the borrower’s present employer as well as the amount of time the borrower has lived in the local area. Creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration; however, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Indirect auto loans are loans that are sold by auto dealerships to third parties, such as banks or other types of lenders. We work with various auto dealers throughout our lending area. The dealer collects information from the applicant and transmits it to us electronically for review, where we can either accept or reject the applicant without ever meeting the applicant. If the Bank approves the applicant’s request for financing, the Bank purchases the dealership-originated installment sales contract and is known as the holder in due course that is entitled to receive principal and interest payments from a borrower. As compensation for generating the loan, a portion of the rate is advanced to the dealer and accrued in a prepaid dealer reserve account. As a result, the Bank’s yield is below the contractual interest rate because the Bank must wait for the stream of loan payments to be repaid. The Bank will receive a pro rata refund of the amount prepaid to the dealer only if the loan prepays within the first six months or if the collateral for the loan is repossessed. The Bank is responsible for pursuing repossession if the borrower defaults on payments.
Consumer loans entail greater risks than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, particularly consumer loans secured by rapidly depreciating assets, such as automobiles, or loans that are unsecured. In such cases, collateral repossessed after a default may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of damage, loss or depreciation. Further, consumer loan payments are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Such events would increase our risk of loss on unsecured loans. Finally, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans in the event of a default.
Loan Portfolio Maturities and Yields. The following table summarizes the scheduled repayments of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2020. Demand loans, loans having no stated repayment schedule or maturity, and overdraft loans are reported as being due in one year or less. Consumer loans consist primarily of indirect automobile loans whereby a portion of the rate is prepaid to the dealer and accrued in a prepaid dealer reserve account. Therefore, the true yield for the portfolio is significantly less than the note rate disclosed below.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority
Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). In the approval process for residential loans, we assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value of the property securing the loan. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, we review the borrower’s income and expenses and employment and credit history. In the case of commercial loans, we also review projected income, expenses and the viability of the project being financed. We generally require appraisals of all real property securing loans. Appraisals are performed by independent licensed appraisers. The Bank’s loan approval policies and limits are also established by its Board. All loans originated by the Bank are subject to its underwriting guidelines. Loan approval authorities vary based on loan size in the aggregate. Individual officer loan approval authority generally applies to loans of up $1.0 million. Loans above that amount and up to 65% of the Bank’s legal lending limit may be approved by the Loan Committee. Loans in the aggregate over 65% of the Bank’s legal lending limit must be approved by the Board.
Delinquencies and Classified Assets
When a borrower fails to remit a required loan payment, a courtesy notice is sent to the borrower prior to the end of their appropriate grace period stressing the importance of paying the loan current. If a payment is not paid within the appropriate grace period, then a late notice is mailed. In addition, telephone calls are made and additional letters may be sent. Collection efforts continue until it is determined that the debt is uncollectable.
For loans secured by real estate, a Homeownership Counseling Notice is mailed when the loan is 45 days delinquent. In Pennsylvania, an Act 91 Notice is mailed to the borrower stating that they have 33 days to cure the default before foreclosure is initiated. In West Virginia, a Notice of Default is mailed and in Ohio, a demand letter is mailed when a loan is 60 days delinquent. When a loan becomes 90 or more days delinquent, it is forwarded to the Bank’s attorney to pursue other remedies. An official mortgage foreclosure complaint typically occurs at 120 days delinquent. In the event collection efforts have not succeeded, the property will proceed to a Sheriff Sale to be sold.
For commercial loans, the borrower is contacted in an attempt to reestablish the loan to current payment status and ensure timely payments continue. Collection efforts continue until the loan is 60 days past due, at which time demand payment,
11


default, and/or foreclosure procedures are initiated. We may consider loan workout arrangements with certain borrowers under certain circumstances.
Nonperforming Assets and Delinquent Loans. The Company reviews its loans on a regular basis and generally places loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. In addition, the Company places loans on nonaccrual status when we do not expect to receive full payment of interest, principal or both. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Loans that are 90 days or more past due may still accrue interest if they are well secured and in the process of collection. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied against principal. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, and current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Management monitors all past due loans and nonperforming assets. Such loans are placed under close supervision, with consideration given to the need for additions to the allowance for loan losses and (if appropriate) partial or full charge-off. At December 31, 2020, we had $8,000 of loans 90 days or more past due that were still accruing interest. Nonperforming assets increased $9.1 million to $14.7 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $5.6 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 is primarily related to two commercial real estate loans in the hospitality industry with a total principal balance of $6.9 million that were impacted by the CVOID-19 pandemic due to insufficient cash flows and occupancy rates as well as a $1.3 million commercial and industrial loan relationship.
Management believes the volume of nonperforming assets can be partially attributed to unique borrower circumstances as well as the economy in general. We have an experienced chief credit officer, collections and credit departments that monitor the loan portfolio and seek to prevent any deterioration of asset quality.
Real estate acquired through foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of the unpaid principal balance of the related loan, or its fair market value, less estimated selling expenses. Any further write-down of real estate owned is charged against earnings. At December 31, 2020, we owned $208,000 of property classified as real estate owned.

Nonperforming Assets. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. Included in nonperforming loans and assets are troubled debt restructurings, which are loans whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, gross interest income that would have been recorded had our non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $233,000. For the year ended December 31, 2020, interest income recorded on nonaccrual loans and accruing troubled debt restructurings was $338,000.
At December 31, 2020, we had no loans that were not classified as nonaccrual, 90 days past due or troubled debt restructurings where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure as nonaccrual, 90 days past due or troubled debt restructurings.
Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the Company will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the
13


weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. The Company designates an asset as “special mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention.
The Company uses an eight-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are not considered criticized and are aggregated as “pass” rated. The criticized rating categories used by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are below average quality, resulting in an undue credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.
As part of the periodic exams of the Bank by the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, the staff of such agencies reviews our classifications and determines whether such classifications are adequate. Such agencies have, in the past, and may in the future require us to classify certain assets which management has not otherwise classified or require a classification more severe than established by management. The following table shows the principal amount of special mention and classified loans at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The total amount of special mention and classified loans increased $41.5 million, or 126.90%, to $74.2 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $32.7 million at December 31, 2019. The increase of $21.9 million in the special mention loan category and $19.7 million in the substandard category as of December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 was mainly from the downgrade of the hospitality portfolio due to the economic conditions in that industry caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance based on losses in the current loan portfolio, which includes an assessment of economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, loan loss experience, volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications, quality of the Company’s loan review system, the degree of oversight by the Company’s Board, existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations, effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making evaluations. Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions charged to income and recovery of principal and interest on loans previously charged-off. Losses of principal are charged directly to the allowance when a loss occurs or when a determination is made that the specific loss is probable. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due for principal and interest according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management determines 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 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 based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, the observable market price, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral. When the measurement of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded in a specific valuation allowance through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Any reserve for unfunded lending
14


commitments represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in the allowance for loan losses on the consolidated Statement of Condition.
Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.
The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss given our internal risk rating process. The loan portfolio is stratified into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss characteristics and an appropriate loss ratio adjusted for other qualitative factors is applied to the homogeneous pools of loans to estimate the incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The other qualitative factors considered by management include, but are not limited to, the following:
changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection practices;
changes in national and local economic and business conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments;
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio;
changes in the experience, ability and depth of management and the lending staff;
changes in the trend of the volume and severity of the past due, nonaccrual, and classified loans;
the existence of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and
the effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in our current portfolio.
Commercial real estate loans generally have higher credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project, and this may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.
Commercial and industrial business loans involve a greater risk of default than one- to four-residential mortgage loans of like duration because their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of collateral, if any.
This specific valuation allowance is periodically adjusted for significant changes in the amount or timing of expected future cash flows, observable market price or fair value of the collateral. The specific valuation allowance, or allowance for impaired loans, is part of the total allowance for loan losses. Cash payments received on impaired loans that are considered non-accrual are recorded as a direct reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. When the recorded investment has been fully collected, receipts are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until the previously charged-off principal is fully recovered. Subsequent amounts collected are recognized as interest income. If no charge-off exists, then once the recorded investment has been fully collected, any future amounts collected would be recognized as interest income. Impaired loans are not returned to accrual status until all amounts due, both principal and interest, are current and a sustained payment history has been demonstrated. Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR) loans are generally considered impaired loans until such loans are performing in accordance with their modified terms. Once a TDR loan establishes a consistent payment history under the modified terms, then it is considered to return to accrual status. A consistent payment history is generally demonstrated by payment under the modified terms for a period of least six consecutive months. The general component covers pools of loans by loan class, including commercial loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate and consumer loans. An unallocated component, which is a part of the general allowance component, is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect the Company’s estimate of probable losses. Generally, management considers all nonaccrual and TDR loans and certain renegotiated debt, when it exists, for impairment. The maximum period without payment that typically can occur before a loan is considered for impairment is 90 days. The past due status of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.
The allowance for loan losses increased $2.9 million, or 29.4%, to $12.8 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $9.9 million at December 31, 2019. Allowance for loan losses to total loans increased 19 basis points to 1.22% at December 31, 2020 compared to 1.04% at December 31, 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increase in unemployment and recessionary economic conditions in 2020. Based on evaluation of the macroeconomic conditions, the qualitative factors used in the allowance for loan loss analysis were increased in 2020 primarily related to economic trends and industry conditions as a result of the pandemic and vulnerable industries such as hospitality and retail. In addition, an increase in commercial real estate loans combined with an increase in the historical loss factor primarily related to a $931,000 commercial real estate loan charge-
15


off resulted in an increase commercial real estate loan reserves. The combination of these factors primarily resulted in a $4.0 million provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans ratio decreased to 117.28% at December 31, 2020, compared to 340.12% at December 31, 2019. Nonaccrual loans increased $8.0 million to $10.9 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2019. Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans increased $6.9 million to $7.1 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $234,000 at December 31, 2019 primarily related to two hospitality loans with a total principal balance of $6.9 million that were impacted by the pandemic due to insufficient cash flows and occupancy rates. Nonaccrual commercial and industrial loans increased to $1.2 million to $1.9 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $740,000 at December 31, 2019 primarily related to a $1.3 million relationship impacted by the pandemic due to an inability to hold social events.

Although we maintain our allowance for loan losses at a level that we consider to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that we will not be required to make additions to the allowance for loan losses in the future. Future additions to our allowance for loan losses and changes in the related ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans are dependent upon the economy, changes in real estate values and interest rates, the view of the regulatory authorities toward adequate loan loss reserve levels, and inflation. Management will continue to periodically review the entire loan portfolio to determine the extent, if any, to which further additional loan loss provisions may be deemed necessary.

Investment Activities
General. The Company’s investment policy is established by its Board. The policy emphasizes safety of the investment, liquidity requirements, potential returns, cash flow targets, and consistency with the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy.
Our current investment policy permits us to invest in U.S. treasuries, federal agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, investment grade corporate bonds, municipal bonds, short-term instruments, and other securities. The investment policy also permits investments in certificates of deposit, securities purchased under an agreement to resell, banker’s acceptances, commercial paper and federal funds. Our current investment policy generally does not permit investment in stripped mortgage-backed securities, short sales, derivatives, or other high-risk securities. Federal and Pennsylvania state laws generally limit our investment activities to those permissible for a national bank.
The accounting rules require that, at the time of purchase, we designate a security as held to maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, while securities held to maturity are reported at amortized cost. Our entire portfolio is designated as available-for-sale.
The portfolio consists primarily of U.S. government and agency securities, municipal bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. We expect the composition of our investment portfolio to continue to change based on liquidity needs associated with loan origination activities. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we had no securities that were deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.
We also invest in equity securities, which consist primarily of mutual funds and a portfolio of bank stocks. This portfolio is valued at fair value with changes in market price recognized through noninterest income.
We maintain a minimum amount of liquid assets that may be invested in specified short-term securities and certain other investments. Liquidity levels may be increased or decreased depending upon the yields on investment alternatives and upon management’s judgment as to the attractiveness of the yields then available in relation to other opportunities and its expectation of the level of yield that will be available in the future, as well as management’s projections as to the short-term demand for funds to be used in our loan originations and other activities.
U.S. Government and Agency Securities. At December 31, 2020, we held U.S. Government and agency securities with a fair value of $41.4 million compared to $48.1 million at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2020, these securities had an average expected life of 0.6 years. While these securities generally provide lower yields than other investments, such as mortgage-backed securities, our current investment strategy is to maintain investments in such instruments to the extent appropriate for liquidity and pledging purposes, as collateral for borrowings, and for prepayment protection.
18


Municipal Bonds. At December 31, 2020, we held available-for-sale municipal bonds with a fair value of $22.0 million compared to $25.8 million at December 31, 2019. 52% of our municipal bonds are issued by local municipalities or school districts located in Pennsylvania. Municipal bonds may be general obligation of the issuer or secured by specific revenues. The majority of our municipal bonds are general obligation bonds, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the municipality, paid off with funds from taxes and other fees, and have ratings (when available) of A or above. We also invest in a limited amount of special revenue municipal bonds, which are used to fund projects that will eventually create revenue directly, such as a toll road or lease payments for a new building.
Mortgage-Backed Securities. We invest in mortgage-backed (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligation (“CMO”) securities insured or guaranteed by the United States government or government-sponsored enterprises. These securities, which consist of MBS’s issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, had an amortized cost of $75.9 million and $118.3 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The fair value of our MBS portfolio was $79.5 million and $120.8 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At December 31, 2020, all MBS’s had fixed rates of interest.
MBS’s are created by pooling mortgages and issuing a security with an interest rate that is less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgages. CMO’s generally are a specific class of MBS’s that are divided based on risk assessments and maturity dates. These mortgage classes are pooled into a special purpose entity, where tranches are created and sold to investors. Investors in a CMO are purchasing bonds issued by the entity, and then receive payments based on the income derived from the pooled mortgages. The various pools are divided into tranches are then securitized and sold to the investor. MBS’s typically represent a participation interest in a pool of one- to four-family or multifamily mortgages, although we invest primarily in MBS’s backed by one- to four-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors. Some security pools are guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest to investors. MBS’s generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the cost of payment guarantees and credit enhancements. However, MBS’s are more liquid than individual mortgage loans because there is an active trading market for such securities. In addition, MBS’s may be used to collateralize our specific liabilities and obligations. Finally, MBS’s are assigned lower risk-weightings for purposes of calculating our risk-based capital level.
Investments in MBS’s involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may result in adjustments to the amortization of any premium or acceleration of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities.
Securities Portfolio. The following table sets forth the composition of our securities portfolio at the dates indicated. securities do not include FHLB of Pittsburgh and Atlantic Community Bankers’ Bank stock totaling $4.0 million, $3.7 million, and $3.9 million at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Sources of Funds
General. Deposits have traditionally been the Company’s primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. The Company also uses borrowings, primarily FHLB of Pittsburgh advances, to supplement cash flow needs, lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk purposes and manage the cost of funds. In addition, funds are derived from scheduled loan payments, investment maturities, loan prepayments, loan sales, retained earnings and income on earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition.
Deposits. Deposits are generated primarily from residents within the Company’s market area. The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate.
Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals.
The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and other prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts offered allows the Company to be competitive in obtaining funds and responding to changes in consumer demand. Based on experience, the Company believes that its deposits are relatively stable. However, the ability to attract and maintain deposits and the rates paid on these deposits has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

Borrowings. Deposits are our primary source of funds for lending and investment activities. If the need arises, we may rely upon borrowings to supplement our supply of available funds and to fund deposit withdrawals. Our borrowings may consist of advances from the FHLB, funds borrowed under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased.
The FHLB functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for us and other member savings associations and financial institutions. As a member, we are required to own capital stock in the FHLB and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of our home mortgages, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. We typically secure advances from the FHLB with one- to four-family residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans. Advances are made pursuant to several different programs. Each credit program has its own interest rate and range of
21


maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based either on a fixed percentage of a member institution’s stockholders’ equity or on the FHLB’s assessment of the institution’s creditworthiness. At December 31, 2020, we had a maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB of up to $421.5 million and available borrowing capacity of $320.8 million. At December 31, 2020, we had $8.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding, of which all were long-term borrowings. As an alternative to pledging securities, the facility is also used for standby letters of credit to collateralize public deposits in excess of the level insured by the FDIC. Commitments for standby letters of credit to secure public deposits were $90.3 million and $41.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent business deposit customers whose funds, above designated target balances, are transferred into an overnight interest-earning investment account by purchasing securities from the Bank’s investment portfolio under an agreement to repurchase. We may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. Short-term borrowings may also consist of federal funds purchased.
At December 31, 2020, the Bank maintained a Borrower-In-Custody of Collateral line of credit agreement with the FRB for $91.5 million that requires monthly certification of collateral, is subject to annual renewal, incurs no service charge and is secured by commercial and consumer indirect auto loans. The Bank also maintains multiple line of credit arrangements with various unaffiliated banks totaling $60.0 million. At December 31, 2020, we did not have any outstanding balances under any of these borrowing relationships.

Subsidiary Activities
Community Bank is the only subsidiary of the Company. The Bank wholly-owns Exchange Underwriters, Inc., a full-service, independent insurance agency.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
General
CB Financial Services, Inc., is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As such, it is registered with, subject to examination and supervision by, and otherwise required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board.
Community Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank subject to extensive regulation by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the FDIC. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. The Bank must file reports with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the FDIC concerning its activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions with other depository institutions. There are periodic examinations of the Bank by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the FDIC to review the Bank’s compliance with various regulatory requirements. The Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which a commercial bank can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulation, whether by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or Congress could have a material impact on the operations of the Bank.
Set forth below is a brief description of material regulatory requirements that are or will be applicable to CB Financial Services, Inc., and Community Bank. The description is limited to certain material aspects of the statutes and regulations addressed, is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on CB Financial Services, Inc. and Community Bank, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations involved.
Federal Legislation
The Dodd-Frank Act made significant changes to the regulatory structure for depository institutions and their holding companies. However, the Dodd-Frank Act’s changes go well beyond that and affect the lending, investments and other operations of all depository institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve to set minimum capital levels for bank holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of Tier 1 capital for holding companies are restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. The legislation also establishes a floor for capital of insured depository institutions that cannot be lower than the standards in effect upon passage, and directs the federal banking regulators to implement new leverage and capital requirements that take into account off-balance sheet activities and other risks, including risks relating to securitized products and derivatives.
The Dodd-Frank Act created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks, such as the Bank, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks with $10 billion or less in assets are still examined for compliance by their applicable bank regulators. The new legislation also gave state attorney generals the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.
23


The Dodd-Frank Act broadened the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The legislation also increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2008. The Dodd-Frank Act increased shareholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give shareholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so called “golden parachute” payments. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not. Further, the legislation requires that originators of securitized loans retain a percentage of the risk for transferred loans, directs the Federal Reserve to regulate pricing of certain debit card interchange fees and contains a number of reforms related to mortgage origination.
The Dodd Frank Act has resulted in an increased regulatory burden and compliance, operating and interest expense for the Company and the Bank.
Bank Regulation
Business Activities. The Bank derives its lending and investment powers from the applicable Pennsylvania law, federal law and applicable state and federal regulations. Under these laws and regulations, The Bank may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, certain types of debt securities and certain other assets, subject to applicable limits.
Capital Requirements. Federal regulations require state banks to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% core capital to assets leverage ratio (3% for savings associations receiving the highest rating on the composite, or “CAMELS,” rating system for capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk), and an 8% risk-based capital ratio.
The risk-based capital standard for state banks requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 1250%, assigned by the regulations, based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common shareholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. Additionally, an institution that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale is required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the purchaser’s recourse against the institution. In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the FDIC takes into consideration not only these numeric factors, but qualitative factors as well and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual associations where necessary.
At December 31, 2020, the Bank’s capital exceeded all applicable requirements.
The risk-based capital rule and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets by the FDIC and the other federal bank regulators are consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The rule applies to all depository institutions (such as the Bank) and top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $3.0 billion or more. Among other things, the rule established a common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4.0% to 6.0% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain available-for-sale securities to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The Bank elected the one-time opt-out election for accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to be excluded from the regulatory capital calculation. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a capital conservation buffer consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement was phased in at 0.625% per year beginning January 1, 2016 and ended January 1, 2019, when the full 2.5% capital conservation buffer requirement became effective.
Loans-to-One Borrower. Generally, a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of capital. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank was in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitations.
24


Capital Distributions. The Pennsylvania Banking Code states, in part, that dividends may be declared and paid only out of accumulated net earnings and may not be declared or paid unless surplus is at least equal to capital. Dividends may not reduce surplus without the prior consent of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution may not make any capital distribution if, after making such distribution, the institution would fail to meet any applicable regulatory capital requirement.
Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All insured institutions have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. The FDIC is required to assess the Bank’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications, such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the FDIC, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice.
The Community Reinvestment Act requires all institutions insured by the FDIC to publicly disclose their rating. The Bank received a “satisfactory” rating in its most recent federal examination.
Transactions with Related Parties. A state-chartered bank’s authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and federal regulation. An affiliate is generally a company that controls or is under common control with an insured depository institution, such as the Bank. The Company is an affiliate of the Bank because of its control of the Bank. In general, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative limits and collateral requirements. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a state-chartered bank from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve the purchase of low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates.
The Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve. Among other things, these provisions generally require that extensions of credit to insiders be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of the Bank’s capital. In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by the Bank’s Board. Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional limits based on the type of extension involved.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Interagency guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to implement an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.
Prompt Corrective Action Regulations. Under the Federal Prompt Corrective Action statute, the FDIC is required to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized state-chartered banks under its jurisdiction, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s level of capital. An institution that has total risk-based capital of less than 8% or a leverage ratio or a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that generally is less than 4% is considered to be “undercapitalized”. An institution that has total risk-based capital less than 6%, a Tier 1 core risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be “significantly undercapitalized.” An institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.”
Generally, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the “Pennsylvania Department of Banking” or “PDBS”) is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a state-chartered bank that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the FDIC within 45 days of the date that an institution is deemed to have received notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” Any bank holding company of an institution that is required to submit a capital restoration plan
25


must guarantee performance under the plan in an amount of up to the lesser of 5% of the institution’s assets at the time it was deemed to be undercapitalized by the FDIC or the amount necessary to restore the institution to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the FDIC notifies the institution that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters. Institutions that are undercapitalized become subject to certain mandatory measures, such as restrictions on capital distributions and asset growth. The PDBS may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.
At December 31, 2020, the Bank met the criteria for being considered “well capitalized.”
In addition, the final capital rule adopted in July 2013 revises the prompt corrective action categories to incorporate the revised minimum capital requirements of that rule.
Enforcement. The Pennsylvania Department of Banking maintains enforcement authority over the Bank, including the power to issue cease and desist orders and civil money penalties and to remove directors, officers or employees. It also has the power to appoint a conservator or receiver for a bank upon insolvency, imminent insolvency, unsafe or unsound condition or certain other situations. The FDIC has primary federal enforcement responsibility over non-Federal Reservice Bank (“FRB”)-member state banks and has authority to bring actions against the institution and all institution-affiliated parties, including shareholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful actions likely to have an adverse effect on the bank. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and can amount to $25,000 per day, or even $1 million per day in especially egregious cases. In general, regulatory enforcement actions occur with respect to situations involving unsafe or unsound practices or conditions, violations of law or regulation or breaches of fiduciary duty. Federal and Pennsylvania laws also establish criminal penalties for certain violations.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC insures deposits at FDIC-insured financial institutions, such as the Bank. Deposit accounts in the Bank are insured by the FDIC generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts. The FDIC charges insured depository institutions premiums to maintain the DIF.
The Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum target DIF ratio from 1.15% to 1.35% of estimated insured deposits. The FDIC was required to seek to achieve the 1.35% ratio by September 30, 2020, and insured institutions with assets of $10 billion or more were supposed to fund the increase. On September 30, 2018, the 1.35% ratio was exceeded, reaching 1.36%. Insured institutions of less than $10 billion of assets will receive credits for the portion of their assessments that contributed to raising the reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.35% effective when the fund rate achieves 1.38%. The fund rate achieved 1.40% as of June 30, 2019, and the FDIC first applied small bank credits on the September 30, 2019 assessment invoice (for the second quarter of 2019). The FDIC will continue to apply small bank credits so long as the ratio is at least 1.35%. After applying small bank credits for four quarters, the FDIC will remit to banks the value of any remaining small bank credits in the next assessment period in which the ratio is at least 1.35%. A total of $308,000 of DIF credits were recognized in the third and fourth quarters of 2019. All DIF credits available to the Bank have been utilized. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the 1.5% maximum fund ratio, instead leaving it to the discretion of the FDIC to establish a maximum fund ratio. The FDIC has exercised that discretion by establishing a long-range fund ratio of 2%. The FDIC announced that the ratio had declined to 1.30% at September 30, 2020 due largely to consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FDIC adopted a plan to restore the fund to the 1.35% ratio within eight years but did not change its assessment schedule.
In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980's to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO matured in 2019.
The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments. Any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. Management cannot predict what assessment rates will be in the future.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. The Bank does not currently know of any practice, condition or violation that may lead to termination of its deposit insurance.
Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements. State-chartered banks are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.
26


FHLB System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of 12 regional FHLBs. The FHLB System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions as well as other entities involved in home mortgage lending. As a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, The Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB. As of December 31, 2020, the Bank was in compliance with this requirement. The Bank also is able to borrow from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, which provides an additional source of liquidity for the Bank.
Federal Reserve System. The FRB regulations require banks to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily Negotiable Order of Withdrawal, or NOW and regular checking accounts). The regulations generally provide that reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts as follows for 2020: a 3% reserve ratio is assessed on net transaction accounts up to and including $124.2 million; a 10% reserve ratio is applied above $124.2 million. The first $16.3 million of otherwise reservable balances (subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve Board) are exempted from the reserve requirements. The Bank complies with the foregoing requirements. The amounts are adjusted annually and, for 2021, establish a 3% reserve ratio for aggregate transaction accounts up to $182.9 million, a 10% ratio above $182.9 million, and an exemption of $21.1 million. However, effective March 26, 2020, the FRB reduced reserve requirement ratios on all net transaction accounts to 0%, eliminating reserve requirements for all depository institutions, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other Regulations
Interest and other charges collected or contracted by the Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. The Bank’s operations are also subject to federal and state laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:
Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;
Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;
Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;
Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;
Truth in Savings Act; and
Rules and regulations of the various federal and state agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such laws.
The operations of the Bank also are subject to the:
Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;
Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services;
Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check;
The USA PATRIOT Act, which requires banks operating to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.
Holding Company Regulation
General. The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As such, the Company is registered with the Federal Reserve and is subject to regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements applicable to bank holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve has enforcement authority
27


over the Company and its non-bank subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary banking institution.
Capital. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve to establish for all depository institution holding companies minimum consolidated capital requirements that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries.
Source of Strength. The Dodd-Frank Act requires that all bank holding companies serve as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.
Dividends. The Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances, such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate or earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary depository institution becomes undercapitalized. The policy statement also states that a holding company should inform the Federal Reserve supervisory staff before redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock if the holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or if the repurchase or redemption would result in a net reduction, as of the end of a quarter, in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies may affect the Company’s ability to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
Acquisition. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, a federal statute, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire direct or indirect “control” of a bank holding company. Under certain circumstances, a change of control may occur, and prior notice is required, upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock, unless the Federal Reserve has found that the acquisition will not result in control of the company. A change in control definitively occurs upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock.
Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the Federal Reserve generally has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.
Federal Securities Laws. The Company’s common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is intended to improve corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the federal securities laws.  The Company has policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations, and the Company reviews and documents these policies, procedures and systems to ensure continued compliance with these regulations.
TAXATION
General. The Company and the Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Company and the Bank.
Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, the Company currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31 for filing its federal and state income tax returns.
Federal Taxation. The federal income tax laws apply to the Company in the same manner as to other corporations with some exceptions. The Company may exclude from income 100% of dividends received from the Bank as members of the same affiliated group of corporations. For federal income tax purposes, corporations may carryforward net operating losses indefinitely, but the deduction is limited to 80% of taxable income. For its 2020 and 2019 fiscal year, the Company’s maximum federal income tax rate was 21%.
State Taxation. The Bank is subject to the Pennsylvania Bank and Trust Company Shares Tax (“Shares Tax”) rate of 0.95%. The tax is imposed on the Bank’s adjusted equity. The Company and Exchange Underwriters are subject to the Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax, otherwise known as “CNI tax.” The CNI tax rate in 2020 and 2019 was 9.99%. The tax is imposed on income or loss from the federal income tax return on a separate-company basis for the Company and
28


Exchange Underwriters. The federal return income or loss is adjusted for various items treated differently by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
The FWVB merger has exposed the Company to additional state tax filing requirements in West Virginia and Ohio. The West Virginia Corporation Net Income Tax imposes a state income tax at the rate 6.5% based on the Company's consolidated taxable federal net income or loss on the Company's federal tax return, adjusted for various items treated differently by the West Virginia State Tax Department. The State of Ohio imposes an equity-based tax similar to the PA Shares Tax called Financial Institutions Tax (“FIT”) at a minimum tax of $1,000 or a rate of 0.8% for the first $200 million of Ohio based-equity, and then a declining rate thereafter. All state taxation is apportioned to states where nexus exists based on different metrics of the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition and consolidated statement of operations.
ITEM 1A.    Risk Factors
In addition to risks disclosed elsewhere in this Report, the following discussion sets forth the material risk factors that could affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Readers should not consider any descriptions of these factors to be a complete set of all potential risks that could affect the Company. Any risk factor discussed below could by itself, or combined with other factors, materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, capital position, liquidity, competitive position or reputation, including by materially increasing expenses or decreasing revenues, which could result in material losses or a decrease in earnings.
Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and financial results and that of many of our customers, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted and outside of our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created extensive disruptions to the global economy and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects, including quarantines, travel bans, shelter-in-place orders, closures of businesses and schools, fiscal and monetary stimulus, and legislation designed to deliver financial aid and other relief. While the scope, duration, and full effects of COVID-19 are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and the efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted market interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress or recession, many of the risk factors identified in our Form 10-K could be exacerbated and the effects of COVID-19 could have a material adverse impact on us in a number of ways as described in more detail below.
Credit Risk – Our risks of timely loan repayment and the value of collateral supporting the loans are affected by the strength of our borrowers’ businesses. Concern about the spread of COVID-19 has caused and is likely to continue to cause business shutdowns, limitations on commercial activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment and commercial property vacancy rates, reduced profitability and ability for property owners to make mortgage payments, and overall economic and financial market instability, all of which may cause our customers to be unable to make scheduled loan payments. Hotel and restaurant operators and others in the leisure, hospitality and travel industries, among other industries, have been particularly hurt by COVID-19. If the effects of COVID-19 result in widespread and sustained repayment shortfalls on loans in our portfolio or borrowers that were provided forbearance opportunities are unable to begin repayment at the end of the deferment period, we could incur significant delinquencies, foreclosures and credit losses, particularly if the available collateral is insufficient to cover our credit exposure. The future effects of COVID-19 on economic activity could negatively affect the collateral values associated with our existing loans, the ability to liquidate the real estate collateral securing our residential and commercial real estate loans, our ability to maintain loan origination volume and to obtain additional financing, the future demand for or profitability of our lending and services, and the financial condition and credit risk of our customers. Further, in the event of delinquencies, regulatory changes and policies designed to protect borrowers may slow or prevent us from making our business decisions or may result in a delay in our taking certain remediation actions, such as foreclosure. In addition, we have unfunded commitments to extend credit to customers. During a challenging economic environment like now, our customers depend more on our credit commitments and increased borrowings under these commitments could adversely impact our liquidity. Furthermore, in an effort to support our communities during the pandemic, we are participating in the PPP under the CARES Act whereby loans to small businesses are made and those loans are subject to the regulatory requirements that would require forbearance of loan payments for a specified time or that would limit our ability to pursue all available remedies in the event of a loan default. If the borrower under the PPP loan fails to qualify for loan forgiveness, we are at the heightened risk of holding these loans at unfavorable interest rates as compared to the loans to customers that we would have otherwise extended credit. In addition, since the initiation of the PPP, several banks have been subject to
29


litigation or threatened litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP. We may be exposed to the risk of litigation, from both clients and non-clients that approached us regarding PPP loans. If any such litigation is filed or threatened against us and is not resolved in a manner favorable to us, it may result in significant cost or adversely affect our reputation. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP-related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.
Strategic Risk – Our success may be affected by a variety of external factors that may affect the price or marketability of our products and services, changes in interest rates that may increase our funding costs, reduced demand for our financial products due to economic conditions and the various response of governmental and nongovernmental authorities. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. Furthermore, many of the governmental actions have been directed toward curtailing household and business activity to contain COVID-19. These actions have been rapidly expanding in scope and intensity. For example, in many of our markets, local governments acted to temporarily close or restrict the operations of businesses. The future effects of COVID-19 on economic activity could negatively affect the future banking products we provide, including a decline in originating loans.
Operational Risk – Current and future restrictions on our workforce’s access to our facilities could limit our ability to meet customer servicing expectations and have a material adverse effect on our operations. We rely on business processes and branch activity that largely depend on people and technology, including access to information technology systems as well as information, applications, payment systems and other services provided by third parties. In response to COVID-19, we have modified our business practices with a portion of our employees working remotely from their homes to have our operations uninterrupted as much as possible. Further, technology in employees’ homes may not be as robust as in our offices and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees to be more limited or less reliable than in our offices. The continuation of these work-from-home measures also introduces additional operational risk, including increased cybersecurity risk from phishing, malware, and other cybersecurity attacks, all of which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss and could seriously disrupt our operations and the operations of any impacted customers.
Moreover, we rely on many third parties in our business operations, including the appraiser of the real property collateral, vendors that supply essential services such as loan servicers, providers of financial information, systems and analytical tools and providers of electronic payment and settlement systems, and local and federal government agencies, offices, and courthouses. In light of the developing measures responding to the pandemic, many of these entities may limit the availability and access of their services. If the third-party service providers continue to have limited capacities for a prolonged period or if additional limitations or potential disruptions in these services materialize, it may negatively affect our operations.
Interest Rate Risk/Market Value Risk – Our net interest income, lending and investment activities, deposits and profitability could be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from COVID-19. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0% to 0.25%, citing concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on financial markets and market stress in the energy sector. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions would likely increase our funding costs and negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Higher income volatility from changes in interest rates and spreads to benchmark indices could cause a loss of future net interest income and a decrease in prevailing fair market values of our investment securities and other assets. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our net income, operating results, or financial condition.
Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of COVID-19’s effects on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work-from-home arrangements, third party providers’ ability to support our operations, and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. The uncertain future development of this crisis could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, operating results, financial condition, liquidity or capital levels.
Risks Related to Our Lending Activities
A large percentage of the Company’s loans are collateralized by real estate, and further disruptions in the real estate market may result in losses and reduce the Company’s earnings.
A substantial portion of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of loans collateralized by real estate. Improving economic conditions have shifted to an increase in demand for real estate, which has resulted in stabilization of some real estate values in the Company’s markets. Further disruptions in the real estate market could significantly impair the value of the Company’s
30


collateral and its ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. If real estate values decline further, it is likely that the Company would be required to increase its allowance for loan losses. If, during a period of lower real estate values, the Company is required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy debts or to increase its allowance for loan losses, it could materially reduce its profitability and adversely affect its financial condition.
Because the Company emphasizes commercial real estate and commercial loan originations, its credit risk may increase, and continued downturns in the local real estate market or economy could adversely affect its earnings.
Commercial real estate and commercial loans generally have more inherent risk than the residential real estate loans. Because the repayment of commercial real estate and commercial loans depends on the successful management and operation of the borrower’s properties or related businesses, repayment of such loans can be affected by adverse conditions in the local real estate market or economy. Commercial real estate and commercial loans also may involve relatively large loan balances to individual borrowers or groups of related borrowers. A downturn in the real estate market or the local economy could adversely affect the value of properties securing the loan or the revenues from the borrower’s business, thereby increasing the risk of nonperforming loans. As the Company’s commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios increase, the corresponding risks and potential for losses from these loans may also increase. Furthermore, it may be difficult to assess the future performance of newly originated commercial loans, as such loans may have delinquency or charge-off levels above the Company’s historical experience, which could adversely affect the Company’s future performance.
If our nonperforming assets increase, our earnings will suffer.
Our nonperforming assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. We do not record interest income on non-accrual loans or real estate owned. We must reserve for probable losses, which results in additional provisions for loan losses. As circumstances warrant, we must write down the value of properties in our other real estate owned portfolio to reflect changing market values. Additionally, we have legal fees associated with the resolution of problem assets as well as additional costs, such as taxes, insurance and maintenance related to our other real estate owned. The resolution of nonperforming assets also requires the active involvement of management, which can adversely affect the amount of time we devote to the income-producing activities of the Bank. If our estimate of the allowance for loan losses is inadequate, we will have to increase the allowance accordingly.
If the Company’s allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, the Company’s results of operations would be negatively affected.
In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company analyzes its loss and delinquency experience by loan categories and considers the effect of existing economic conditions. In addition, the Company makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of its borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of the loans. If the results of these analyses are incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in the portfolio, which would require additions to the allowance and would reduce net income.
In addition, bank regulators periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may require it to increase the allowance for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") has issued an accounting standard update that will result in a significant change in how we recognize credit losses and may have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. For assets held at amortized cost basis, ASU 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and instead requires an entity to reflect its estimate of all current expected credit losses ("CECL"). Under the CECL model, we will be required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as loans held for investment and debt securities, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is to be based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This measurement will take place at the time the financial asset is first added to the statement of financial condition and periodically thereafter. This differs significantly from the incurred loss model required under current GAAP, which delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Accordingly, we expect that the adoption of the CECL model will materially affect how we determine our allowance for loan losses and could require us to significantly increase our allowance. Moreover, the CECL model may create more volatility in the level of our allowance for
31


loan losses. If we are required to materially increase our level of allowance for loan losses for any reason, such increase could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In November 2019, the FASB approved a delay of the required implementation date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies, including us, resulting in a required implementation date for the Company of January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses upon adoption, but we cannot yet determine the magnitude of the one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operation.
Risk Related to Changes in Market Interest Rates
Changes in interest rates may reduce the Company’s profits and impair asset values.
The Company’s earnings and cash flows depend primarily on its net interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. Changes in market interest rates could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s interest-bearing liabilities generally reprice or mature more quickly than its interest earning assets. If rates increase rapidly, the Company may have to increase the rates paid on deposits, particularly higher cost time deposits and borrowed funds, more quickly than any changes in interest rates earned on loans and investments, resulting in a negative effect on interest rate spreads and net interest income. Increases in interest rates may also make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans. Conversely, should market interest rates fall below current levels, the Company’s net interest margin also could be negatively affected if competitive pressures keep it from further reducing rates on deposits, while the yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets decrease more rapidly through loan prepayments and interest rate adjustments. Decreases in interest rates often result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance their loans to reduce borrowings costs. Under these circumstances, the Company is subject to reinvestment risk to the extent it is unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments in loans or other investments that have interest rates that are comparable to the interest rates on existing loans and securities. Changes in interest rates also affect the value of the Company’s interest-earning assets, and in particular its securities portfolio. Generally, the value of fixed-rate securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale determined to be temporary in nature are reported as a separate component of equity. Decreases in the fair value of securities available for sale resulting from increases in interest rates therefore could have an adverse effect on the Company’s shareholders’ equity.
Risks Related to Our Acquisition Activity
Impairment in the carrying value of goodwill could negatively affect our results of operations.
We have recorded goodwill in connection with our recently completed mergers. At December 31, 2020, we had $9.7 million of goodwill on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition after incurring goodwill impairment of $18.7 million in 2020. Any further impairment to goodwill could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial conditions and results of operations. 100% of the goodwill is assigned to the Community Banking reporting unit. Under GAAP, goodwill must be evaluated for impairment annually or on an interim basis when a triggering event occurs. If the carrying value of our reporting unit exceeds its current fair value as determined based on the value of the business, the goodwill is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value by a non-cash, non-tax-deductible charge to earnings. The impairment testing required by GAAP involves estimates and significant judgments by management. Although we believe our assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate, any changes in key assumptions or other unanticipated events and circumstances may affect the accuracy or validity of such estimates. Events and conditions that could result in impairment in the value of our goodwill include worsening business conditions and economic factors, particularly those that may result from the impact of a downturn in the economy as a result of COVID-19, changes in the industries in which we operate, adverse changes in the regulatory environment, or other factors leading to reduction in expected long-term profitability and cash flows.
Risk Related to Our Liquidity Position
If we are unable to borrow funds, we may not be able to meet the cash flow requirements of our depositors, creditors, and borrowers, or the operating cash needed to fund corporate expansion and other corporate activities.
Liquidity is the ability to meet cash flow needs on a timely basis at a reasonable cost. Our liquidity is used to make loans and to repay deposit liabilities as they become due or are demanded by customers. Liquidity policies and procedures are established by the board, with operating limits set based upon the ratio of loans to deposits and percentage of assets funded with non-core or wholesale funding. We regularly monitor our overall liquidity position to ensure various alternative strategies exist to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity. We also establish policies and monitor guidelines to diversify our wholesale funding sources to avoid concentrations in any one market source. Wholesale funding sources include federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, non-core deposits, and debt. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, which provides funding through advances to members that are collateralized with mortgage-related assets.
32


We maintain a portfolio of available-for-sale securities that can be used as a secondary source of liquidity. There are other sources of liquidity available to us should they be needed. These sources include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire national market, non-core deposits, issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances and federal funds purchased, and the issuance of preferred or common securities.
Risks Related to Our Ability to Pay Dividends
The Company’s ability to pay dividends is subject to the ability of Community Bank to make capital distributions to the Company, and also may be limited by Federal Reserve policy.
The Company’s long-term ability to pay dividends to its shareholders depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to make capital distributions to the Company and on the availability of cash at the holding company level if the Bank’s earnings are not sufficient to pay dividends. In addition, the Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends by bank holding companies. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances, such as where the holding company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the holding company’s overall rate or earnings retention is inconsistent with its capital needs and overall financial condition. These regulatory policies may adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
Risks Related to Our Operations
Because the nature of the financial services business involves a high volume of transactions, the Company faces significant operational risks.
The Company operates in diverse markets and relies on the ability of its employees and systems to process a significant number of transactions. Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from operations, including the risk of fraud by employees or persons outside a company, the execution of unauthorized transactions by employees, errors relating to transaction processing and technology, breaches of the internal control system and compliance requirements, and business continuation and disaster recovery. Insurance coverage may not be available for such losses, or where available, such losses may exceed insurance limits. This risk of loss also includes the potential legal actions that could arise as a result of an operational deficiency or as a result of noncompliance with applicable regulatory standards, adverse business decisions or their implementation, and customer attrition due to potential negative publicity. If a breakdown occurs in the internal controls system, improper operation of systems or improper employee actions, the Company could incur financial loss, face regulatory action and suffer damage to its reputation.
Risks associated with system failures, interruptions, breaches of security or cyber security could negatively affect the Company’s earnings.
Information technology systems are critical to the Company’s business. The Company uses various technology systems to manage customer relationships, general ledger, securities, deposits and loans. The Company has established policies and procedures to prevent or limit the effect of system failures, interruptions and security breaches, but such events may still occur or may not be adequately addressed if they do occur. In addition, any compromise of the Company’s systems could deter customers from using its products and services. Security systems may not protect systems from security breaches.
In addition, the Company outsources some of its data processing to certain third-party providers. If these third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if the Company has difficulty communicating with them, the Company’s ability to adequately process and account for transactions could be affected, and business operations could be adversely affected. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other vendors and their personnel.
The occurrence of any system failures, interruption or breach of security could damage the Company’s reputation and result in a loss of customers and business thereby, subjecting it to additional regulatory scrutiny, or could expose it to litigation and possible financial liability. Although the Company has not experienced any system failures, interruption or breach of security to date, any of these events could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is constantly relying upon the availability of technology, the Internet and telecommunication systems to enable financial transactions by clients, to record and monitor transactions and transmit and receive data to and from clients and third parties. Information security risks have increased significantly due to the use of online, telephone and mobile banking channels by clients and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists and other external parties. Our technologies, systems, networks and our clients’ devices have been subject to, and are likely to continue to be the target of, cyberattacks, computer viruses, malware, phishing attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of our or our clients’ confidential, proprietary and other information, the theft of client assets through fraudulent transactions or disruption of our or our clients’ or other third parties’ business operations. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
33


The Company’s risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and reducing the potential for significant losses.
The Company’s risk management framework is designed to minimize risk and loss to the company. The Company seeks to identify, measure, monitor, report and control exposure to risk, including strategic, market, liquidity, compliance and operational risks. While the Company uses a broad and diversified set of risk monitoring and mitigation techniques, these techniques are inherently limited because they cannot anticipate the existence or future development of currently unanticipated or unknown risks. Economic conditions and heightened legislative and regulatory scrutiny of the financial services industry, among other developments, have increased the Company’s level of risk. Accordingly, the Company could suffer losses if it fails to properly anticipate and manage these risks.
Reforms to and uncertainty regarding LIBOR may adversely affect our business.
In 2017, the Chief Executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), announced its intention to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR to the administrator of LIBOR after 2021. The announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. It is impossible to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR or whether any additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. A committee of private-market derivative participants and their regulators convened by the Federal Reserve, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), was created to identify an alternative reference interest rate to replace LIBOR. The ARRC announced Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative to LIBOR. Subsequently, the Federal Reserve announced final plans for the production of SOFR, which resulted in the commencement of its published rates by the FRB of New York on April 2, 2018. Whether or not SOFR attains market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool remains in question and the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain. The uncertainty as to the nature and effect of such reforms and actions and the political discontinuance of LIBOR may adversely affect the value of and return on our financial assets and liabilities that are based on or are linked to LIBOR, our results of operations or financial condition. In addition, these reforms may also require extensive changes to the contracts that govern these LIBOR based products, as well as our systems and processes. The implementation of a substitute index or indices for the calculation of interest rates under our loan agreements with our borrowers may result in our incurring significant expenses in effecting the transition, may result in reduced loan balances if borrowers do not accept the substitute index or indices, and may result in disputes or litigation with customers over the appropriateness or comparability to LIBOR of the substitute index or indices, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Currently, the manner and impact of this transition and related developments, as well as the effect of these developments on our funding costs, securities portfolio and business, is uncertain.
Risks Related to Accounting Matters
Changes in the Company’s accounting policies or in accounting standards could materially affect how the Company reports its financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s accounting policies are essential to understanding its financial condition and results of operations. Some of these policies require the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and financial results. Some of the Company’s accounting policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. If such estimates or assumptions underlying the Company’s financial statements are incorrect, it may experience material losses.
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission change the financial accounting and reporting standards or the interpretation of those standards that govern the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. These changes are beyond the Company’s control, can be difficult to predict, and could materially affect how the Company reports its financial condition and results of operations. The Company could also be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in restating prior period financial statements in material amounts.
The need to account for certain assets at estimated fair value, such as securities, may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company reports certain assets, such as securities, at estimated fair value. Generally, for assets that are reported at fair value, the Company uses quoted market prices or valuation models that utilize observable market inputs to estimate fair value. Because the Company carries these assets on its books at their estimated fair value, it may incur losses even if the asset in question presents minimal credit risk.
34


Risks Related to Competitive Matters
Strong competition within the Company’s market area could adversely affect the Company’s earnings and slow growth.
The Company faces intense competition both in making loans and attracting deposits. Price competition for loans and deposits might result in the Company earning less on its loans and paying more on its deposits, which reduces net interest income. Some of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater resources than the Company has and may offer services that it does not provide. The Company expects competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing consolidation in the financial services industry. The Company’s profitability will depend upon its continued ability to compete successfully in its market areas.
General Risk Factors
A worsening of economic conditions could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
A worsening of economic conditions could significantly affect the markets in which the Company operates, the value of loans and investments, ongoing operations, costs and profitability. Further declines in real estate values and sales volumes and continued elevated unemployment levels may result in higher than expected loan delinquencies, increases in nonperforming and criticized classified assets, and a decline in demand for the Company’s products and services. In addition, the recent decline in natural gas prices, if it persists or if prices decline further, may depress natural gas exploration and drilling activities in the Marcellus Shale Formation. Furthermore, exploration and drilling of natural gas reserves in our market area may be affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations affecting production, permitting, environmental protection and other matters. Any of these events may negatively affect our customer, and may cause the Company to incur losses, and may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on the Company’s income or the carrying value of its assets.
39


Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance based on potential losses in the current loan portfolio, which includes an assessment of economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, loan loss experience, volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications, quality of the Company’s loan review system, the degree of oversight by the Company’s Board, existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations, effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making evaluations. Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions charged to income and recovery of principal and interest on loans previously charged-off. Losses of principal are charged directly to the allowance when a loss occurs or when a determination is made that the specific loss is probable. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due for principal and interest according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, management considers all substandard-, doubtful-, and loss-rated loans, nonaccrual loans, and TDRs for impairment. Management determines 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 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. The maximum period without payment that typically can occur before a loan is considered for impairment is 90 days. Impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, the observable market price, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral. When the measurement of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded in a specific valuation allowance. This specific valuation allowance is periodically adjusted for significant changes in the amount or timing of expected future cash flows, observable market price or fair value of the collateral. The specific valuation allowance, or allowance for impaired loans, is part of the total allowance for loan losses. Cash payments received on impaired loans that are considered non-accrual are recorded as a direct reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. When the recorded investment has been fully collected, receipts are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until the previously charged-off principal is fully recovered. Subsequent amounts collected are recognized as interest income. If no charge-off exists, then once the recorded investment has been fully collected, any future amounts collected would be recognized as interest income. Impaired loans are not returned to accrual status until all amounts due, both principal and interest, are current and a sustained payment history has been demonstrated.
The general allowance component covers pools of homogeneous loans by loan class. Management determines historical loss experience for each segment of loans using the two-year rolling average of the net charge-off data within each segment. Qualitative and environmental factors are also considered that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the Bank’s existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, and include levels and trends in delinquency and impaired loans; levels and trends in net charge-offs, trends in volume and terms of loans; change in underwriting, policies, procedures, practices and key personnel; national and local economic trends; industry conditions, and effects of changes in high-risk credit circumstances. The qualitative and environmental factors are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure they are reflective of current conditions in the portfolio and economy. An unallocated component, which is a part of the general allowance component, is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect the Company’s estimate of probable losses.
Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability at the transaction date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A three-level of fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 –     Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and are used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2 –     Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, and other observable inputs.
Level 3 –     Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. Examples of valuation methodologies that would result in Level 3 classification include option pricing models, discounted cash flows, and other similar techniques.
40


This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Deemed to have an indefinite life and not subject to amortization, goodwill is instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually on October 31 or more frequently if triggering events occur or impairment indicators exist. The Company operates two reporting units – Community Banking segment and Insurance Brokerage Services segment. The Company has assigned 100% of the goodwill to the Community Banking reporting unit.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the goodwill impairment test is judgmental and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. In 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 whereby the Company applies a one-step quantitative test and records the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing a step one impairment test is unnecessary. An entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to the first step of impairment testing.
Two basic approaches to determine the fair value of an entity are the income approach and market approach or a combination of the two. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future earnings or cash flows to present value to arrive at a value that is indicated by market expectations about future amounts. The market approach uses observable prices and other relevant information that is generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The fair value measure is based on the value that those transactions indicate. These approaches involve significant estimates and assumptions
In the application of the income approach, fair value of a reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. The income approach relies on Level 3 inputs along with a market-derived cost of capital when measuring fair value. Fair value is determined by converting anticipated benefits into a present single value. Once the benefit or benefits are selected, an appropriate discount or capitalization rate is applied to each benefit. These rates are calculated using the appropriate measure for the size and type of company, using financial models and market data as required. A discount rate may be derived based on a modified capital asset pricing model. which is comprised of a risk-free rate of return, an equity risk premium, a size premium and a factor covering the systemic market risk and a company specific risk premium. The values for the factors applied are determined primarily using external sources of information. The DCF model also uses prospective financial information. Estimating future earnings and capital requirements involves judgment and the consideration of past and current performance and overall macroeconomic and regulatory environments.
Under the market approach, Level 1 and 2 inputs are used when measuring fair value. In the application of the market approach, the Guideline Public Company ("GPC") method of appraisal is based on the premise that pricing multiples of publicly traded companies can be used as a tool to be applied in valuing a closely held entity. A value multiple or ratio relates a stock’s market price to the reported accounting data such as revenue, earnings, and book value. These ratios provide an objective basis for measuring the market’s perception of a stock’s fair value. Value ratios generally reflect the trends in growth, performance and stability of the financial results of operations. In this way, the business and financial risks exhibited by an industry or group of companies can be viewed in relation to market values. Value ratios also reflect the market’s outlook for the economy as a whole. Guideline companies provide a reasonable basis for comparison to the relative investment characteristics of the company being valued. The Company analyzes the relationships between the guideline companies' asset size, profitability, asset quality and capital ratios and applies a control premium to the selected guideline company multiples. The control premium is management's estimate of how much a market participant would be willing to pay over the fair market value in consideration of synergies and other benefits that flow from control of the entity. The GPC method using trading activity of publicly traded companies that are most similar to the Company may also be considered when the banking industry has a sufficient level of mergers and acquisitions activity
The results of the income and market approaches may be weighted to determine the concluded fair value of the reporting unit. The weighting is judgmental and is based on the perceived level of appropriateness of the valuation methodology. Estimating the fair value involves the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. If current conditions change from those expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods and require management to further evaluate goodwill for impairment.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment of securities, securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than temporary impairment losses, management considers (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) whether or not the Company intends to sell
41


or expect that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before an anticipated recovery in fair value. Once a decline in value for a debt security is determined to be other than temporary, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated in (a) the amount of total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Deferred Tax Assets. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination, the term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50%; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date, and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
New accounting pronouncements that were adopted in the current period or will be adopted in a future period are discussed in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Report.
Recently Announced Branch Optimization Initiative
On February 23, 2021, the Company announced the implementation of strategic initiatives to improve the Bank’s financial performance and to position the Bank for continued profitable growth. The Bank intends to optimize its current branch network through the consolidation of six branches and the possible divestiture of others, while expanding technology and infrastructure investments in its remaining locations. The decision was the result of a comprehensive internal study that measured branch performance by comparing financial and non-financial indicators to growth opportunities, while evolving changes in consumer preferences, largely driven by the global pandemic, led to an acceleration of branch optimization efforts. The Bank plans to provide affected customers with details to ensure a seamless transition with minimal disruption to their daily banking needs.
Management believes this initiative is an important first step to improve the Bank’s operations, and to provide enhanced efficiency and production capabilities. The Bank has also engaged with third-party workflow optimization experts to assist in implementing a number of robotic process automations and more effective sales management that it expects will improve operational efficiencies in the near and long-term. These efforts will likely result in additional innovations designed to improve growth prospects for the Bank as customer preferences for mobile and other technology-based services evolve.
In connection with the branch consolidations and the other branch optimization initiatives, the Company anticipates non-recurring pre-tax costs during 2021 of up to $6.1 million. This estimated cost excludes the impact of any premium from sale of branches, and assumes no salvage value, lease termination, severance, and other costs associated with the consolidations or sales; however, the Company does anticipate some recovery of these costs over time. The Company expects an annual reduction in pre-tax operating expenses in 2021 of approximately $1.5 million, along with $3.0 million of ongoing pre-tax cost savings as a result of the implementation of the branch optimization initiatives.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption in the local, national and global economies and financial markets. The pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and shelter in place requirements in the states and communities across our market.
Employee Matters and Branch Offices. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has been committed to the health and safety of out customers and employees. As COVID-19 unfolded, specific actions were taken to protect employees through work-at-home arrangements as well as social distancing measures for those working in our offices. Branch traffic has been mostly limited to drive-thru and special appointments with minimal disruption to our customers or employee productivity. We outfitted our branches with protective barriers and continue to provide our staff with personal protective equipment. No employee layoffs occurred. In addition, a 10% premium pay program was instituted from April 2020 to June 2020 and additional paid time off was provided to employees. Our information technology infrastructure has afforded us the ability to work remotely with little interruption as we continue to service the needs of our clients.
Government Response. In response to the anticipated economic effects of COVID-19, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve has taken a number of actions that have significantly affected the financial markets, including actions intended to result in substantial decreases in market interest rates. On March 3, 2020, the 10-year Treasury yield fell below 1.00% for the
42


first time, and the FRB reduced the target federal funds range by 50 basis points to 1.00% to 1.25%. On March 15, 2020, the FRB further reduced the target federal funds range by 100 basis points to 0% to 0.25% and announced a $700 billion quantitative easing program in response to the expected economic downturn caused by COVID-19. On March 22, 2020, the FRB announced that it would continue its quantitative easing program in amounts necessary to support the smooth functioning of markets for Treasury securities and agency MBS. We expect that these reductions in interest rates, among other actions of the FRB and the Federal government generally, especially if prolonged, could adversely affect our net interest income, compress our margins and impact our overall profitability. At the December 2020 meeting, the FRB elected to hold the target federal funds rate at 0% to 0.25% and officials expects rates to remain near zero through 2023.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provided over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which included authorizing the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On April 16, 2020, the original $349 billion funding cap was reached. On April 23, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPP Enhancement Act”) was signed into law and included an additional $484 billion in COVID-19 relief, including allocating an additional $310 billion to replenish the PPP.
PPP was designed to help small businesses keep their workforce employed and cover expenses during the COVID-19 crisis. Under the PPP, participating SBA and other qualifying lenders originated loans to eligible businesses that are fully guaranteed by the SBA as to principal and accrued interest, have more favorable terms than traditional SBA loans and may be forgiven if the proceeds are used by the borrower for certain eligible purposes. PPP loans have an interest rate of 1% per annum. Loans issued prior to June 5, 2020 have a term to maturity of two-years and loans issued after June 5, 2020 have a term to maturity of five-years. Loan payments were deferred for six months. The Bank received a processing fee from the SBA ranging from 1% to 5% depending on the size of the loan, which was offset by a 0.75% third-party servicing agent fee.
In 2020, the Bank originated 639 PPP loans totaling $71.0 million. Among the largest sectors impacted were $15.6 million in loans for health care and social assistance, $12.6 million for construction and specialty-trade contractors, $6.1 million for professional and technical services, $6.1 million for retail trade, $5.1 million for wholesale trade, $4.6 million for manufacturing and $3.4 million for restaurant and food services. Net deferred origination fees were $2.2 million, of which $1.1 million was recognized during year ended December 31, 2020. Processing of PPP loan forgiveness began in the fourth quarter of 2020 and at December 31, 2020, PPP loans totaled $55.1 million. All PPP loans are classified as commercial and industrial loans. No allowance for loan loss was allocated to the PPP loan portfolio due to the Bank complying with the lender obligations that ensure SBA guarantee.
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (2021) was enacted and provides an additional $900 billion in pandemic-related relief aimed to bolster the economy, provide relief to small businesses and the unemployed, deliver additional stimulus checks to individuals and provide funding for COVID-19 testing and the administration of vaccines while also extending certain provisions of the original CARES Act stimulus package.
The SBA reopened the PPP the week of January 11, 2021 and began accepting applications for both First Draw and Second Draw PPP Loans. Second Draw PPP Loans are available for certain eligible borrowers that previously received a PPP loan. A Second Draw PPP Loan has the same general terms as the First Draw PPP Loan. A borrower is generally eligible for a Second Draw PPP Loan if the borrower previously received a First Draw PPP Loan and will or has used the full amount only for authorized uses, has no more than 300 employees, and can demonstrate at least a 25% reduction in gross receipts between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020. For most borrowers, the maximum amount of a Second Draw PPP Loan is 2.5x average monthly 2019 or 2020 payroll costs up to $2.0 million. Loan payments will be deferred for borrowers who apply for loan forgiveness until the SBA remits the borrower's loan forgiveness amount to the lender. If a borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, payments are deferred 10 months after the end of the covered period for the borrower’s loan forgiveness (either 8 weeks or 24 weeks). For PPP loans made on or after December 27, 2020, the lender’s processing fee from the SBA is the lesser of 50% or $2,500 for loans up to $50,000, 5% for loans greater than $50,000 and up to $350,000, 3% for loans greater than $350,000 and less than $2.0 million and 1% for loans of at least $2.0 million. As of February 28, 2021, the Bank received 181 applications totaling $26.7 million with total estimated processing fees of $1.2 million.
Section 4013 of the CARES Act and regulatory guidance promulgated by federal banking regulators provides temporary relief from accounting and financial reporting requirements for TDRs regarding certain loan modifications related to COVID-19. Specifically, the CARES Act provides that the Bank may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and suspend any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes. As such, the applicable loans are reported as current with regard to payment status and continue to accrue interest during the payment deferral period. The Company has worked with its borrowers impacted by COVID-19 to defer payments. The Bank provides borrower support and relief through short-term loan forbearance options by primarily allowing: (a) deferral of three- to six-months of payments;
43


or (b) for consumer loans not secured by a real estate mortgage, three months of interest-only payments that also extends the maturity date of the loan by three months. In certain circumstances, additional deferral periods were granted.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2020 and 2019
Assets. Total assets increased $95.2 million, or 7.2%, to $1.42 billion at December 31, 2020, compared to $1.32 billion at December 31, 2019.
Cash and due from banks increased $80.7 million, or 100.6%, to $160.9 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $80.2 million at December 31, 2019.
Securities decreased $52.0 million, or 26.3%, to $145.4 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $197.4 million at December 31, 2019. This was primarily the result of $104.1 million of paydowns on mortgage-backed securities and calls of U.S. government agency and municipal securities due to the market interest rate decreases that occurred in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, there was the purchase of $69.0 million of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government agency securities partially offset by $18.0 million of mortgage-backed securities sales to recognize gains on higher-interest securities that were paying down quicker than expected. In addition, there was a $1.0 million increase in the market value of the debt securities portfolio attributed to market interest rate decreases and $267,000 loss in market value in the equity securities portfolio, which is primarily comprised of bank stocks.
Total loans increased $92.3 million to $1.04 billion at December 31, 2020 and represented 9.7% annualized growth. Loan growth was primarily due to originating PPP loans totaling $71.0 million, mainly in the second quarter of 2020, which included $2.2 million in net deferred origination fees. $1.1 million of origination fees were unearned as of December 31, 2020 and are expected to be earned ratably over the remaining life of the loan or immediately upon receipt of funds from the SBA for forgiveness. $1.1 million of net origination fees were earned in 2020. In October 2020, the SBA began processing loan forgiveness and PPP loans totaled $55.1 million at December 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, organic loan growth was $37.2 million and represented an annualized growth rate of 3.9% as of December 31, 2020. 2020 loan growth was experienced through net funding of $37.0 million in construction loans and $22.2 million in commercial real estate loans. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, average loans for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased $48.9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.
The allowance for loan losses was $12.8 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $9.9 million at December 31, 2019. This reflects a $4.0 million 2020 provision for loan loss primarily due to a net increase in qualitative factors related to economic and industry conditions to account for the adverse economic impact of COVID-19 and an increase in historical loss factors from a $931,000 commercial real estate loan charge-off in the fourth quarter of 2020. This charge-off was related to a hotel loan. As a result, the allowance for loan losses to total loans increased from 1.04% at December 31, 2019 to 1.22% at December 31, 2020. No allowance was allocated to the PPP loan portfolio due to the Bank complying with the lender obligations that ensure SBA guarantee. The allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding PPP loans, was 1.29% at December 31, 2020. Refer to “Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this section.
Net charge-offs were $1.1 million, or 0.11%, to average loans on an annualized basis, for the year ended December 31, 2020, due to a $931,000 commercial real estate loan charge-off noted previously. Net charge-offs were $416,000, or 0.05% to average loans on an annualized basis, for the year ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Net charge-offs were primarily attributable to indirect automobile loans in the prior period.
Nonperforming loans were $14.5 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming loans to total loans ratio was 1.39% at December 31, 2020 compared to 0.57% at December 31, 2019. Nonaccrual loans increased primarily as a result of two commercial real estate loans (hotels) with a total principal balance of $6.9 million at December 31, 2020, and one commercial and industrial loan relationship totaling $1.3 million at December 31, 2020 that were downgraded to substandard-rated.
Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $111.8 million, or 9.6%, to $1.28 billion at December 31, 2020 compared to $1.17 billion at December 31, 2019.
Deposits benefited from PPP loan originations and to a lesser extent government stimulus payments and increased $106.2 million to $1.22 billion as of December 31, 2020 compared to $1.12 billion at December 31, 2019. Noninterest bearing demand deposits, NOW accounts and savings accounts increased $73.4 million, $27.8 million and $18.2 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $29.7 million in time deposits. The impact of the PPP loans that were originated and the proceeds of which were initially deposited at the Bank was approximately $54.8 million. Consumer’s tendency to save and lack of spending as a result of the pandemic were also driving factors in the increase. Annualized deposit growth rate was 9.5% including PPP loan deposits and 4.6% without PPP loan deposits, representing organic deposit growth. Average total deposits increased $62.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily in noninterest-bearing demand deposits.
Short-term borrowings increased $10.5 million, or 34.3%, to $41.1 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $30.6 million at December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, short-term borrowings were comprised entirely of
45


securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The increase is related to business deposit customers whose funds, above designated target balances, are transferred into an overnight interest-earning investment account by purchasing securities from the Bank’s investment portfolio under an agreement to repurchase.
Other borrowed funds decreased $6.0 million to $8.0 million at December 31, 2020 due to Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings that matured in the current period.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $16.6 million, or 11.0%, to $134.5 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $151.1 million at December 31, 2019.
Net loss was $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Accumulated other comprehensive income increased $756,000 primarily due to market interest rate conditions in the current period on the Bank’s available-for-sale debt securities.
The Company paid $5.2 million in dividends to common stockholders in the current year.
Primarily as part of the Company’s stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 68,434 shares of common stock totaling $1.9 million in the current year. COVID-19 prompted the Company to announce on March 19, 2020 that the stock repurchase program was suspended until further notice to preserve excess capital in support of the Bank’s business of providing financial services to its customers and communities. The program expired on November 24, 2020.
Book value per share was $24.76 at December 31, 2020 compared to $27.65 at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $2.89 primarily due to goodwill impairment. Tangible book value per share (Non-GAAP) increased $0.90, or 4.4%, to $21.42 compared to $20.52 at December 31, 2019. Refer to “Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this section.

Annual results were impacted by the following significant non-recurring items:
The Company conducted a goodwill impairment analysis at September 30, 2020 and determined that $18.7 million of goodwill was deemed impaired and written off for the year ended December 31, 2020, reducing goodwill to $9.7 million at December 31, 2020. This non-cash charge was deemed non-core and had no impact on the Company’s tangible equity, cash flows, liquidity or regulatory capital.
The Company incurred a pre-tax non-cash impairment of fixed assets of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as a result of the previously announced Monessen branch closure. The property was written down by $884,000 to its fair value of $240,000 in the third quarter of 2020 and was subsequently donated in the fourth quarter of 2020 with the remaining $240,000 written off.
The Company recognized a one-time income tax benefit of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the reversal of a valuation allowance for an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 2.9%, to $41.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Interest and dividend income decreased $3.6 million, or 7.0%, to $47.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $51.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Interest income on loans decreased $293,000, or 0.7%, to $42.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Although average loans increased $94.6 million, primarily driven by PPP loans, commercial loans and mortgage loans; the loan yield for the year ended December 31, 2020 decreased 47 bps compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The current period loan yield was significantly impacted by the 150 bp decline in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate in March 2020, which resulted in an immediate decrease in interest rates on adjustable rate loans linked to that index and further impacted new loan rates. In addition, PPP loans decreased the loan yield approximately 4 bps in the current year. $1.1 million in net origination fees and $470,000 of loan interest income were recognized in the current year on PPP loans.
Interest income on taxable investment securities decreased $2.0 million, or 35.9%, to $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 driven by a $58.0 million decrease in average investment securities primarily from significant calls of U.S. government agency securities and paydowns on mortgage-backed securities in a declining interest rate environment, which were replaced with lower-yielding securities. In addition, $17.9 million of securities were sold in the second quarter of 2020 to recognize gains on higher-interest mortgage-backed securities that were paying down quicker than expected. Current period yield benefited from approximately $231,000 in discount accretion from U.S. government agency calls.
Interest income on tax-exempt investment securities decreased $239,000, or 39.3%, to $369,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $608,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily driven by a decrease of $9.1 million in average balance from municipal securities calls.
Interest from other interest-earning assets, which primarily consists of interest-earning cash, decreased $995,000, or 65.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 even though average balances increased $48.9 million primarily related to funds received from investment securities and deposit activity. The impact on interest income was primarily due to declines on interest rates earned on deposits at other financial institutions, which resulted in a 218 bp decrease in average yield.
Interest expense decreased $2.3 million, or 29.2%, to $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $2.1 million, or 29.2%, to $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. While average interest-bearing deposits increased $16.0 million, interest rate declines for all products driven by pandemic-related interest rate cuts and efforts to control pricing resulted in a 27 bp decrease (26.7)% in average cost compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.
Interest expense on short-term borrowings decreased $50,000, or 26.7%, to $137,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $187,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily due to a 26 bp decrease in average cost on securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
Interest expense on other borrowed funds decreased $113,000, or 30.8%, or $254,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $367,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily due to maturity of FHLB long-term advances in the current year that were not replaced, which resulted in a $6.1 million decrease in average balance.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $725,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The pandemic resulted in an increase in unemployment and recessionary economic conditions in the current year. Based on evaluation of the macroeconomic conditions, the qualitative factors used in the allowance for loan loss analysis were increased in the current year primarily related to economic trends and industry conditions as a result of the pandemic and vulnerable industries such as hospitality, retail and restaurants. In addition, an increase in commercial real estate loans and increase in the historical loss factor related to the hotel loan charge-off combined to increase commercial real estate loan reserves.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $904,000, or 10.6%, to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Service fees decreased $286,000 to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to decreases in overdraft fees and customer usage from the pandemic.
Insurance commissions increased $354,000, or 7.8%, to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to an increase in both commercial and personal line policies partially offset by a $48,000 decrease in contingency fees.
47


Other commissions increased $107,000, or 28.8%, to $479,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $372,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to a vendor bonus received for reaching certain volume quotas.
Net gain on sales of loans was $1.4 million in the current period compared to $266,000 in the prior period primarily due to increased mortgage loan production from refinances driven by reduced interest rates, which were sold to reduce interest rate risk on lower yielding, long-term assets.
Net gain on securities was $233,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $140,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Net gain on sales of securities was $500,000 in the current period to recognize gains on higher-interest mortgage-backed securities that were paying down quicker than expected compared to a net loss of $50,000 in the prior period. The Company’s equity securities, which are primarily comprised of bank stocks, reflected a decline in value of $267,000 for the current period primarily from the impact of COVID-19 on the banking industry.
The Company recorded a $61,000 net loss on disposal of fixed assets in the current year, of which $48,000 related to the sale of the former EU headquarters.
There was a $460,000 decrease in other (loss) income as a result of an increase in amortization on mortgage servicing rights combined with a $303,000 temporary impairment on mortgage servicing rights recognized in the current period due to a decline in the interest rate environment that caused increased prepayment speeds and resulted in a decrease in fair value of the serviced mortgage portfolio.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $21.8 million, or 62.4%, to $56.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This was primarily impacted by goodwill impairment of $18.7 million and writedown on fixed assets of $1.1 million as previously noted. Excluding the impact of these non-cash charges, noninterest expense increased $2.0 million, or 5.7% to $37.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $496,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company recognized approximately $560,000 of one-time payments and related taxes and benefits from the transition and retention of a permanent CEO for the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, the increase is related to approximately $258,000 of expense from the Community Bank Cares 10% premium pay during the pandemic and $107,000 increase in restricted stock expense in the current period related to grants in December 2019. This was partially offset by a $407,000 one-time payment that reduced employee benefits from health insurance claims exceeding our stop-loss limit for the 2019 plan year and change from a self-funded to a fully insured plan. Final calculation of the stop loss payment was completed 90 days after the end of the plan year. Also the Company benefited from deferred employee-related loan origination costs associated with PPP loans.Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.2 million to $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to additional employees, salary increases, and employee group health insurance as a direct result of the FWVB merger.
Occupancy expense increased $112,000 to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily related to a one-time $84,000 early lease termination payment from the Bethlehem branch closure and an increase in property management costs.
Equipment expense decreased $167,000 to $935,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as the result of decrease in depreciation and repairs and maintenance.
Data processing increased $260,000 to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily due to technology investments.
FDIC assessment expense increased $426,000 to $837,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $411,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to $308,000 of deposit insurance fund credits approved for banks with less than $10 billion in assets recognized in the prior period. In addition, the net loss recognized in 2020 primarily due to goodwill impairment negatively impacted the assessment rate in the current period resulting in an increased FDIC assessment.
Contracted services increased $787,000 to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to temporary employees hired to assist with PPP loan processing and consultants used to assist in core infrastructure improvements. In addition, consulting fees in the current period associated with the search for a permanent CEO were $177,000.
Legal fees and professional fees increased $64,000 to $752,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $688,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to fees associated with the transition and retention of a permanent CEO.
Advertising decreased $67,000 to $664,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $731,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to reduced marketing initiatives during the pandemic.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $481,000 to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Excluding the impact of goodwill impairment, income before income tax expense decreased $5.6 million in the current year.
While the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) enacted in 2017 was the first major overhaul of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) in the last 30 years, it had many items that were left unaddressed once certain tax deadlines passed and for which no formal regulations had been issued as of December 31, 2018. One of these unaddressed tax deadlines was the expiration of the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforward after the 2021 tax year. Pre–Tax Act regulations allowed for AMT credits to carryforward infinitely. As of December 31, 2018, it was determined that an AMT credit carryforward of approximately $1.3 million, acquired in the FWVB merger on April 30, 2018, would remain unutilized as of December 31, 2021 as a result of IRC Section 382 and 383 annual limitations. As a result of the uncertainty of the utilization of the AMT credit carryforwards post-2021, a valuation allowance (“VA”) was established for the AMT credit carryforward deferred tax asset (“DTA”) balance of $1.3 million, which was offset against goodwill at December 31, 2018. This is in accordance with ASC Topic 805 – Business Combinations, due to the AMT credit carryforward being realized under current tax law and minimal possibility of utilization as of the 2021 tax year, deemed to have no current value and offset into goodwill as a purchase accounting adjustment.
During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2019, the IRS issued clarifying guidance under IRC Section 382(h) that provided an alternative approach to calculating unrealized built-in gains (“UBIGs”) related to the FWVB acquisition that impact annual Section 382 limitations. This approach is referred to as the “Section 338” approach and allows for the “realization” of UBIGs based on a “deemed asset acquisition” method, rather than “actual realization”, which accelerates UBIGs utilization and increases the annual Section 382 limitations. The Company performed an analysis of its built-in gains associated with the FWVB acquisition and elected to change its approach from the Section 1374 approach to the Section 338 approach in determining its annual limitations under section 382 and 383. As a result of this analysis as well as consideration of a number of factors, including the Company's current profitability, its forecast of future profitability, and evaluation of existing tax regulations related to NOL and AMT credit carryforwards, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income within the applicable carryforward periods to realize its net operating loss (“NOL”) and AMT credit carryforwards by December 31, 2021. Therefore, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1.3 million related to the reversal of 100% of the VA for the AMT credit carryforward.

Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to traditional measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use, and this Report contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information in understanding our underlying results of operations or financial position and our business and performance trends as they facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the financial services industry. Although we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable with non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found herein.
Interest income on interest-earning assets, net interest rate spread and net interest margin are presented on a fully tax-equivalent (“FTE”) basis. The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt loans and securities using the federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent. We believe the presentation of net interest income on a FTE basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice.

Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Bank’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
The ability to predict the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s liquidity with any precision is difficult and depends on many factors beyond our control. The market area implemented state-wide shelter-in-place orders and closed all but essential businesses and certain government restrictions remain in effect. The far-reaching consequences of these actions and the crisis is unknown and will largely depend on the extent and length of the recession combined with how quickly the economy can fully re-open. As of December 31, 2020, 85.5% of loans that were in deferral at June 30, 2020 have returned to their regular payment schedule, but any additional forbearance that may be needed could significantly impact our sources of funds from loan cash flows.
The Bank regularly adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon its assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits with other banks and short- and intermediate-term securities. The Bank believes that it had sufficient liquidity at December 31, 2020, to satisfy its short- and long-term liquidity needs at that date.
The Bank’s most liquid assets are cash and due from banks, which totaled $160.9 million at December 31, 2020. Unpledged securities, which provide an additional source of liquidity, totaled $24.2 million. In addition, the Bank maintains a credit arrangement with the FHLB with a maximum borrowing limit of approximately $421.5 million and available borrowing capacity of $320.8 million as of December 31, 2020. $90.3 million was utilized toward standby letters of credit to collateralize public deposits in excess of the level insured by the FDIC and $8.0 million was utilized for advances. This arrangement is subject to annual renewal, incurs no service charge, and is secured by a blanket security agreement on on $564.7 million of residential and commercial mortgage loans and the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock. The Bank also maintains a Borrower-In-Custody of Collateral line of credit agreement with the FRB for $91.5 million that requires monthly certification of collateral, is
54


subject to annual renewal, incurs no service charge and is secured by $133.8 million of commercial and consumer indirect auto loans. The Bank also maintains multiple line of credit arrangements with various unaffiliated banks totaling $60.0 million as of December 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2020, the Bank had funding commitments totaling $168.4 million, consisting primarily of commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit and letters of credit.
At December 31, 2020, certificates of deposit due within one year of that date totaled $87.6 million, or 46.1% of total certificates of deposit. If these certificates of deposit do not remain with the Bank, the Bank will be required to seek other sources of funds. Depending on market conditions, the Bank may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than it currently pays on these certificates of deposit. The Bank believes, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of its certificates of deposit will remain with it, either as certificates of deposit or as other deposit products. The Bank can attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
The Bank’s primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Bank originated $465.7 million in loans, including $71.0 million of PPP loans, compared to $357.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay dividends to stockholders and for other corporate purposes. At December 31, 2020, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $4.9 million.
We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position daily and anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.
Capital Resources
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Bank was considered "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. At December 31, 2020, the Bank's capital ratios were not affected by loans modified in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act. In addition, PPP loans received a zero-percent risk weight under the regulatory capital rules regardless of whether they were pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank's PPP lending facility, but were included in the Bank's leverage ratio requirement due to the Bank not pledging the loans as collateral to the PPP lending facility.
The following table presents the Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios, as well as the minimum amounts and ratios required to be well capitalized at the dates indicated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Commitments. As a financial services provider, the Company routinely is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit, commitments under unused lines of credit, and commitments under letters of credit. While these contractual obligations represent potential future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans the Company makes. In addition, the Company enters into commitments to sell mortgage loans.
Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of its operations, the Company enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities and agreements with respect to investments.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Price
The consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company’s operations. Unlike industrial companies, the Company’s assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.
ITEM 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Management of Interest Rate Risk. The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, the Company’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk and a principal part of its business strategy is to manage interest rate risk by reducing the exposure of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, the Company’s Board has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in the Company’s assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given the Company’s business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives; and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board. Senior management monitors the level of interest rate risk and the Asset/Liability Management Committee meets on a quarterly basis to review its asset/liability policies and position and interest rate risk position, and to discuss and implement interest rate risk strategies.
The Company monitors interest rate risk through the use of a simulation model. The quarterly reports developed in the simulation model assist the Company in identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling interest rate risk to ensure compliance within the Company’s policy guidelines. This quantitative analysis measures interest rate risk from both a capital and earnings perspective. With regard to earnings, movements in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve significantly influence the amount of net interest income that is recognized. Movements in market interest rates significantly influence the spread between the interest earned on our interest-earning assets and the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our internal interest rate risk analysis calculates the sensitivity of our projected net interest income over a one year period utilizing a static balance sheet assumption through which incoming and outgoing asset and liability cash flows are reinvested into similar instruments. Product pricing and earning asset prepayment speeds are adjusted for each rate scenario.
With regard to capital, our internal interest rate risk analysis calculates the sensitivity of our economic value of equity (“EVE”) ratio to movements in interest rates. EVE represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities. EVE attempts to quantify our economic value using a discounted cash flow methodology while the EVE ratio reflects that value as a form of capital ratio. The degree to which the EVE ratio changes for any hypothetical interest rate scenario from its base case measurement is a reflection of an institution’s sensitivity to interest rate risk.
56


For both net interset income and capital at risk, our interest rate risk analysis calculates a base case scenario that assumes no change in interest rates. The model then measures changes throughout a series of interest rate scenarios representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve up and down 100, 200 and 300 basis points with additional scenarios modeled where appropriate. The model requires that interest rates remain positive for all points along the yield curve for each rate scenario which may preclude the modeling of certain falling rate scenarios during periods of lower market interest rates such as that experienced in the current rate environment at December 31, 2020.
The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2020, the estimated changes in EVE and net interest income at risk that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in market interest rates. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in EVE and net interest income require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the table presented assumes that the composition of the Company’s interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured, and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on EVE and net interest income and will differ from actual results. EVE calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, changes in market interest rates can increase the fair values of the Company’s loans, deposits and borrowings.

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
57


Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the SEC
(1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b)Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control process has been designed under our supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, utilizing the framework established in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on management’s assessment, the Company concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020, based on that framework.
(c)Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
CB Financial Services, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of CB Financial Services, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Allowance For Loan Losses – Qualitative Factors – Refer to Notes 1 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description
As disclosed in Note 4 to the Company's consolidated financial statements, the Company's loan portfolio totaled $1,044,753,000 as of December 31, 2020, and the related allowance for loan losses was $12,771,000. As described in Note 1 and 4, the allowance for loan losses consists of two components: (1) the specific component, consisting of the valuation allowance for loans individually evaluated for impairment (“specific component”), representing $649,000; and (2) the general component, consisting of the valuation allowance for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics collectively evaluated for impairment (“general component”), representing $12,122,000. The general component is further broken down between reserves assigned to each pool of loans based on both historical net charge-off experience ($2,098,000), and qualitative and environmental factors ($10,024,000) (“qualitative factors”) for changes not reflected in the historical loss experience.
The determination of the qualitative factors adjustments involves significant estimates based on subjective assumptions that require a high degree of management judgment relating to how those assumptions impact probable incurred credit losses within the loan portfolio. Management has designed and evaluated the following qualitative factors: (1) levels and trends in delinquency and impaired loans; (2) levels and trends in net charge-offs, (3) trends in volume and terms of loans; (4) change in underwriting, policies, procedures, practices and key personnel; (5) national and local economic trends; (6) industry conditions,
63


and (7) effects of changes in high-risk credit circumstances. Changes in these assumptions could have a material effect on the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is an accounting estimate with significant measurement uncertainty and involves the application of significant judgment by management. Therefore, a high degree of auditor judgment and significant auditor effort was required in evaluating the audit evidence obtained related to the qualitative factor adjustments used by management in the calculation. We identified the estimate of the general reserves qualitative factors of the allowance for loan losses as a critical audit matter as it involved especially subjective auditor judgment.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
Testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls relating to the evaluation of the assumptions and inputs used to evaluate the qualitative loss factors, including controls addressing:
Management's review of the underlying data inputs used in the determination of qualitative loss factor adjustments for completeness and accuracy.
Management's determination of impaired loans that have been excluded from the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses.
Management's review of the conclusions reached related to the qualitative and quantitative loss factors and the resulting allocation to the allowance for loan losses.
Substantively testing the appropriateness of the judgments and assumptions used in management's estimation process for developing the qualitative loss factor adjustments, including:
Assessing whether all relevant factors have been considered that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio.
Evaluating the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying internal and external data inputs used as a basis for the qualitative loss factor adjustments and corroborating these inputs by comparing to the Company's lending practices, historical loan portfolio performance, and third-party macroeconomic data.
Evaluating the propriety of impaired loans excluded from the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses.
Testing the mathematical accuracy of the allocation of qualitative loss factors to the appropriate loan categories.

Goodwill Impairment Evaluation – Refer to Notes 1 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $18.7 million, which relates to the Company's community banking reporting unit. As discussed in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment on the basis of community banking reporting unit at least annually, or more frequently as events occur or circumstances change. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances and determined it was appropriate to perform an impairment test. In performing the test, management used both a market capitalization approach and discounted cash flow approach to determine the estimated fair value of the community banking reporting unit. The results of these two approaches were equally weighted at 50% each. As a result of this analysis, management determined that the carrying value of the community banking reporting unit exceeded its fair value resulting in the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge.
Auditing management's goodwill impairment test was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the estimated fair value of the community banking reporting unit. In particular, the fair value estimate was sensitive to significant assumptions, such as changes in the Company's financial forecast, the discount rate, cost synergies and terminal growth rate, which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions, including uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
Testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls relating to the evaluation of the assumptions and inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company's community banking reporting unit, including controls addressing:
Management's review of the accuracy and reasonableness of the prospective financial information used in the discounted cash flow analysis.
Management's evaluation of the key assumptions and inputs used by a third-party valuation specialist, including discount rate, terminal growth rate, control premium, and market comparable entities, as well as the weighting assigned to each of the valuation methodologies used to determine fair value.
Substantively testing, with the support of auditor employed valuation specialists, the appropriateness of the judgments and assumptions used in management's estimation process for determining the fair value of the Company's community banking reporting unit including:
Testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculations performed.
Assessing the historical accuracy of management's financial forecasts by comparing prior budgets to actual results.
Evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies used, discount rate, cost synergies, terminal growth rate, control premium, market comparable entities and overall reasonableness of the fair value calculation.
Comparing the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends, current and historical performance of the community banking reporting unit, and other relevant factors.
Performing sensitivity analyses to evaluate the impact that changes in the significant assumptions used by management would have on the fair value of the reporting unit.
Testing management's reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting unit to the market capitalization of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CB Financial Services, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Exchange Underwriters, Inc. (“Exchange Underwriters” or “EU”). CB Financial Services, Inc., Community Bank and Exchange Underwriters, Inc. are collectively referred to as the “Company.” All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Operations
The Company derives substantially all its income from banking and bank-related services which include interest income on commercial, commercial mortgage, residential real estate and consumer loan financing, as well as interest and dividend income on securities, insurance commissions, and fees generated from deposit services to its customers. The Company provides banking services through its subsidiary, Community Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania. The Bank operates from 15 offices in Greene, Allegheny, Washington, Fayette and Westmoreland Counties in southwestern Pennsylvania, six offices in Brooke, Marshall, Ohio, Upshur and Wetzel Counties in West Virginia, and one office in Belmont County in Ohio. The Bank is a community-oriented institution offering residential and commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer loans as well as a variety of deposit products for individuals and businesses in its market area. Property and casualty, commercial liability, surety and other insurance products are offered through Exchange Underwriters, a full-service, independent insurance agency.
The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, 2020 through the date the consolidated financial statements are being issued for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
As previously disclosed by the Company on February 23, 2021, the Company announced the implementation of strategic initiatives to improve the Bank’s financial performance and to position the Bank for continued profitable growth. The Bank intends to optimize its current branch network through the consolidation of six branches and the possible divestiture of others, while expanding technology and infrastructure investments in its remaining locations. The decision was the result of a comprehensive internal study that measured branch performance by comparing financial and non-financial indicators to growth opportunities, while evolving changes in consumer preferences, largely driven by the global pandemic, led to an acceleration of branch optimization efforts. The branch optimization, which is expected to be completed in 2021, will result in the Company incurring restructuring related expenses predominantly from branch consolidations, lease termination and severance costs.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with general practice within the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, and income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to fair value of securities available for sale, determination of the allowance for losses on loans, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, other-than-temporary impairment evaluations of securities, the valuation of deferred tax assets and the evaluation of goodwill and core deposit intangible impairment.
Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, local, national and global economic activity. The spread of the outbreak has caused significant disruptions to the U.S. economy, significant reductions in the targeted federal funds rate and has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted to, among other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (2021) was enacted and provides an additional $900 billion in pandemic-related relief aimed to bolster the economy, provide relief to small businesses and the unemployed, deliver additional stimulus checks to individuals and provide funding for COVID-19 testing and the administration of vaccines while also extending certain provisions of the original CARES Act stimulus package.
The reduction in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to materially and adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations in future periods. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions
72

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company. It is possible that estimates made in the financial statements could be materially and adversely impacted as a result of these conditions, including estimates regarding the allowance for loan losses, impairment of loans, impairment of securities and additional impairment of goodwill. As the vaccine rollout continues, the Company continues to operate while taking steps to ensure the safety of employees and clients; however, COVID-19 could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in future periods will depend on future developments, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and and additional actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic, as well as further actions the Company may take as may be required by government authorities or that the Company determines is in the best interests of its employees and clients. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the pandemic.
Revenue Recognition
Income on loans and securities is recognized as earned on the accrual method. Gains and losses on sales of mortgages are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related mortgage sold.
The Company generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.
The Company’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606 is recognized within Noninterest Income with the exception of Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) Income, which is accounted for in Noninterest Expense. The following narrative describes the Company’s revenue streams accounted for under the guidance of ASC Topic 606:
Service Fees: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees include services fees for ATM usage, stop payment charges, statement production, ACH and wire fees, which are recognized into income at the occurrence of an executed transaction and the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which are primarily based on monthly maintenance activities, are earned over the course of the month, and satisfy the Company’s performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized as the overdrafts on customer’s accounts are incurred. The services fees are automatically withdrawn from the customer’s account balance per their account agreement with the Company. In addition, the Company earns interchange fees from debit/credit cardholder transactions conducted through the applicable payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The Company currently does not offer a cardholder rewards program.
Insurance Commissions: EU derives commission and fee income from direct and agency bill insurance policies. Direct bill policies are invoiced directly from the insurance company provider to the customer. Once the customer remits payment for the policy, the insurance company provider then remits the commission or fee income to EU on a monthly basis. Agency bill policies are invoiced from EU, the insurance underwriting agency, to the customer. EU records the insurance company policy payable and the commission or fee income earned on the policy. As all insurance policies are contracts with customers, each policy has different terms and conditions.
EU utilizes a report from their core insurance data processing program, The Agency Manager (“TAM”), that captures all in-force policies that are active in the system and annualizes the commission over the life of each individual contract. The report then provides an overall commission and fee income total for the monthly reporting financial statement period. This income is then compared to the amount of direct and agency bill income recorded in TAM for the reporting month and an adjustment to income is made according to the report. This is the income recognized for the portion of the insurance contract that has been earned by EU and subsequently the Company.
Other Commissions: The Company earns other commissions, such as wealth management referral fees, check sales and safe deposit box rentals to customers. The wealth management referral fees are earned as a referral when a bank customer initiates a customer relationship with an associated wealth management firm. These fees fulfill the contract/agreement between the Company and the wealth management firm. Check sales are recognized as customers contact the Company for check supplies or the customer initiates the check order through the Company website to our third-party check company. These commissions are recognized as the third-party check company satisfies the contract of providing check stock to our customers. Safe deposit box rental income is recognized on a monthly basis, per each contract agreement with our
73

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
customers. The safe deposit box income is automatically withdrawn from the customer’s deposit account on a monthly basis as this revenue is earned by the contract.
Gains (Losses) on Sales of OREO: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. It is not common policy that the Company will finance an OREO property with the buyer. It is the Company’s practice to sell loan collateral recognized as an OREO property to free the Company of any additional loss exposure.
Operating Segments
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities which generate revenue and incur expense, and the operating results of which are reviewed by management. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s business activities are comprised of two operating segments, which are community banking and insurance brokerage services. The Company has evaluated the provisions of ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and determined that segment reporting information related to EU (Insurance Brokerage Services segment) is required to be presented because the segment has adopted a board of directors that conducts board meetings independent from the Company. In addition, the segment comprises a significant amount to total noninterest income, even though the segment is less than 10% of the combined assets of the Company. See Note 19 – Segment Reporting and Related Information for more information.
Securities
Securities are classified at the time of purchase, based on management’s intentions and ability, as securities held to maturity or securities available-for-sale. Debt securities acquired with the intent and the ability to hold to maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, which are computed using a level yield method and recognized as adjustments to interest income. Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale debt securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Equity securities are measured at fair value with the change in fair value recognized in Net Gain on Securities of the noninterest income category in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized securities gains and losses, if any, are computed using the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities are recognized as income when earned.
Declines in the fair value of individual securities below amortized cost that are other-than-temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment of securities, securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than temporary impairment losses, management considers (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) whether or not the Company intends to sell or expect that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before an anticipated recovery in fair value. Once a decline in value for a debt security is determined to be other than temporary, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated in (a) the amount of total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and of Atlantic Community Bankers’ Bank (“ACBB”) represent ownership in organizations that are wholly owned by other financial institutions. These restricted equity securities are accounted for based on industry guidance in ASC Sub-Topic 325-20, which requires the investment to be carried at cost and evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. Included in accrued interest and other assets are FHLB stock of $3.9 million and $3.6 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and ACBB stock of $85,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The Company periodically evaluates its FHLB restricted stock for possible impairment based on, among other things, the capital adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. The Company believes its holdings in the stock are ultimately recoverable at par value at December 31, 2020, and, therefore, determined that FHLB stock was not impaired. In addition, the Company has ample liquidity and does not require redemption of its FHLB stock in the foreseeable future.
Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s loan portfolio is segmented to enable management to monitor risk and performance. The real estate loans are further segregated into three classes. Residential mortgages include those secured by residential properties and include home equity loans, while commercial mortgages consist of loans to commercial borrowers secured by commercial real estate. Construction loans typically consist of loans to build commercial buildings and acquire and develop residential real estate. The commercial and
74

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
industrial segment consists of loans to finance the activities of commercial customers. The consumer segment consists primarily of indirect auto loans as well as personal installment loans and personal or overdraft lines of credit.
Residential mortgage loans are typically longer-term loans and, therefore, generally present greater interest rate risk than the consumer and commercial loans. Under certain economic conditions, housing values may decline, which may increase the risk that the collateral values are not sufficient. Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty in evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of commercial real estate loans is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or renewed, a bankruptcy court modifies a lease term, or a major tenant is unable to fulfill its lease obligations), the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Construction loans are originated to individuals to finance the construction of residential dwellings and are also originated for the construction of commercial properties, including hotels, apartment buildings, housing developments, and owner-occupied properties used for businesses. Construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually 12 to 18 months. At the end of the construction phase, the loan generally converts to a permanent residential or commercial mortgage loan. Construction loan risks include overfunding in comparison to the plans, untimely completion of work, and leasing and stabilization after project completion. Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by business assets, inventories, accounts receivable, etc., which present collateral risk. Consumer loans generally have higher interest rates and shorter terms than residential mortgage loans; however, they have additional credit risk due to the type of collateral securing the loan.
Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when it is determined that a reasonable doubt exists as to the collectability of principal, interest, or both. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied against principal. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, and current and future payments are reasonably assured.
The Company uses an eight-point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are not considered criticized and are aggregated as “pass” rated. The criticized rating categories used by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are below average quality, resulting in an undue credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.
In the normal course of business, the Company modifies loan terms for various reasons. These reasons may include a retention strategy to compete in the current interest rate environment, and to extend a loan term and re-amortize to better match the loan’s payment stream with the borrower’s cash flows. A modified loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when the Company has determined that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the Company grants a concession to the borrower, except for an insignificant delay in payment. TDRs typically are the result of loss mitigation activities whereby concessions are granted to minimize loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. The Company evaluates the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without modification. To make this determination a credit review is performed to assess the ability of the borrower to meet their obligations.
When the Company restructures a loan for a troubled borrower, the loan terms (i.e., interest rate, payment, amortization period and/or maturity date) are modified in such a way to enable the borrower to cover the modified debt service payments based on current financials and cash flow adequacy. If the hardship is thought to be temporary, then modified terms are offered only for that time period. Where possible, the Company obtains additional collateral and/or secondary payment sources at the time of the restructure. To date, the Company has not forgiven any principal as a restructuring concession. The Company will not offer modified terms if it believes that modifying the loan terms will only delay an inevitable permanent default.
All loans designated as TDRs are considered impaired loans and may be in either accruing or non-accruing status. The Company’s policy for recognizing interest income on TDRs does not differ from its overall policy for interest recognition. TDRs are considered to be in payment default if, subsequent to modification, the loans are transferred to nonaccrual status. A loan may be removed from nonaccrual TDR status if it has performed according to its modified terms for at least six consecutive months.
Section 4013 of the CARES Act and regulatory guidance promulgated by federal banking regulators provide temporary relief from accounting and financial reporting requirements for TDRs regarding certain short-term loan modifications related to COVID-19. Specifically, the CARES Act provides that the Bank may elect to suspend the requirements under GAAP for
75

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and suspend any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes. Any modification involving a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and that occurs beginning on March 1, 2020 and ends on the earlier of January 1, 2022 (as extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021) or the date that is 60 days after the termination date of the national emergency related to the COVID-19 outbreak qualify for this exception, including a forbearance arrangement, interest rate modification, repayment plan or any other similar arrangement that defers or delays the payment of principal or interest.
Bank regulatory agencies released an interagency statement that offers practical expedients for modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it differs with the CARES Act in certain areas. The expedients require a lender to conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if either short-term (e.g., six months or less) modifications are made, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented or the modification or deferral program is mandated by the federal government or a state government. The bank regulatory agencies have subsequently confirmed that their guidance could be applicable for loans that do not qualify for favorable accounting treatment under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. Both Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the interagency statement can be applied to a second modification that occurs after the first modification provided that the second modification does not qualify as a TDR under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or the interagency statement. In its evaluation of whether a payment deferral qualifies as short-term under the interagency statement, an entity should assess multiple payment deferrals collectively (i.e., the cumulative deferrals cannot exceed six months).
The Bank offered forbearance options for borrowers impacted by COVID-19 that provide a short-term delay in payment by primarily allowing: (a) deferral of three to six months of payments; or (b) for consumer loans not secured by a real estate mortgage, three months of interest-only payments that also extends the maturity date of the loan by three months. During the forbearance period, the borrower is not considered delinquent for credit bureau reporting purposes. The Company has elected the practical expedients related to TDRs that are available in the CARES Act and interagency guidance as an entity-wide accounting policy and does not consider any of the forbearance agreements TDRs, delinquent, or nonaccrual.
The performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio are also monitored by analyzing the age of the loans receivable as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.
Loan origination and commitment fees as well as certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount either accreted or amortized as an adjustment to the related loan’s yield over the contractual lives of the related loans.
The allowance for loan losses (“allowance”) is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance based on potential losses in the current loan portfolio, which includes an assessment of economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, loan loss experience, volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications, quality of the Company’s loan review system, the degree of oversight by the Company’s board of directors, existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations, effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making evaluations. Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions charged to income and recovery of principal and interest on loans previously charged-off. Losses of principal are charged directly to the allowance when a loss occurs or when a determination is made that the specific loss is probable. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due for principal and interest according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, management considers all substandard-, doubtful-, and loss-rated loans, nonaccrual loans, and TDRs for impairment. Management determines 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 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. The maximum period without payment that typically can occur before a loan is considered for impairment is 90 days. Impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a loan’s effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, the observable market price, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral. When the measurement of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is
76

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
recorded in a specific valuation allowance. This specific valuation allowance is periodically adjusted for significant changes in the amount or timing of expected future cash flows, observable market price or fair value of the collateral. The specific valuation allowance, or allowance for impaired loans, is part of the total allowance for loan losses. Cash payments received on impaired loans that are considered nonaccrual are recorded as a direct reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. When the recorded investment has been fully collected, receipts are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until the previously charged-off principal is fully recovered. Subsequent amounts collected are recognized as interest income. If no charge-off exists, then once the recorded investment has been fully collected, any future amounts collected would be recognized as interest income. Impaired loans are not returned to accrual status until all amounts due, both principal and interest, are current and a sustained payment history has been demonstrated.
The general allowance component covers pools of homogeneous loans by loan class. Management determines historical loss experience for each segment of loans using the two-year rolling average of the net charge-off data within each segment. Qualitative and environmental factors are also considered that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the Bank’s existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, and include levels and trends in delinquency and impaired loans; levels and trends in net charge-offs, trends in volume and terms of loans; change in underwriting, policies, procedures, practices and key personnel; national and local economic trends; industry conditions, and effects of changes in high-risk credit circumstances. The qualitative and environmental factors are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure they are reflective of current conditions in the portfolio and economy. An unallocated component, which is a part of the general allowance component, is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect the Company’s estimate of probable losses.
Loans that were acquired in previous mergers, were recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for credit losses. The fair value of the acquired loans was estimated by management with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist.
For performing loans acquired in a merger, the excess of expected cash flows over the estimated fair value, at acquisition, is referred to as the accretable discount and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable discount. The nonaccretable discount represents estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows require an evaluation to determine the need for an allowance. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows result in the reversal of a corresponding amount of the nonaccretable discount, which is then reclassified as accretable discount that is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method. The evaluation of the amount of future cash flows that is expected to be collected is performed in a similar manner as that used to determine our allowance. Charge-offs of the principal amount on acquired loans would be first applied to the nonaccretable discount portion of the fair value adjustment.
The Company grants commercial, residential, and other consumer loans to customers throughout southwestern Pennsylvania in Greene, Washington, Allegheny, Fayette and Westmoreland Counties; West Virginia in Brooke, Marshall, Ohio, Upshur and Wetzel Counties; and Belmont County in Ohio. Although the Company had a diversified loan portfolio at December 31, 2020 and 2019, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is determined by the economic environment of these counties within the tri-state region footprint.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is principally computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, and 27.5 to 40 years for building premises. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or their respective lease terms, which range from seven to fifteen years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred while costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
The Company is the owner and beneficiary of bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) policies on certain employees. The earnings from the BOLI policies are recognized as a component of noninterest income. The BOLI policies are an asset that can be liquidated, if necessary, with associated tax costs. However, the Company intends to hold these policies and, accordingly, the Company has not provided for deferred income taxes on the earnings from the increase in cash surrender value.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate owned acquired in settlement of foreclosed loans is carried as a component of Other Assets at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Prior to foreclosure, the estimated collectible value of the collateral is evaluated to determine if a partial charge-off of the loan balance is necessary. After transfer to real estate owned, any subsequent write-downs are charged against noninterest expense. Direct costs incurred in the foreclosure process and subsequent holding costs incurred on such properties are recorded as expenses of current operations. Real estate owned was $208,000 and $233,000 at

December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Of these amounts, $0 and $41,000 represent residential loans at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Residential loans in process of foreclosure were $806,000 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between book and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination, the term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50%; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date, and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Deemed to have an indefinite life and not subject to amortization, goodwill is instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually on October 31 or more frequently if triggering events occur or impairment indicators exist. The Company operates two reporting units – Community Banking segment and Insurance Brokerage Services segment. The Company has assigned 100% of the goodwill to the Community Banking reporting unit.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the goodwill impairment test is judgmental and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. In 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 whereby the Company applies a one-step quantitative test and records the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing a step one impairment test is unnecessary. An entity also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to the first step of impairment testing. The Company recorded goodwill impairment of $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and did not record any goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights. Intangible assets that have finite lives, such as core deposit intangibles acquired in mergers, customer relationship intangibles and renewal lists, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and subject to periodic impairment testing at last annually. The amortization expense represents the estimated decline in value of the underlying asset. Core deposit intangibles are primarily amortized over 6.5 to 9 years on the straight-line method. Customer renewal lists are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 9.5 years. We monitor other intangibles for impairment and evaluate carrying amounts, as necessary. Estimates and assumptions are used in determining the fair value of other intangible assets. There were no events or changes in circumstances indicating impairment of other intangible assets at December 31, 2020.
Future events could cause us to conclude that goodwill or other intangibles have become impaired, which would result in recording an impairment. Any resulting impairment could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Refer to Note 6—Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional details.
Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”)
The Company has agreements for the express purpose of selling loans in the secondary market. The Company maintains all servicing rights for these loans. MSRs are recognized when commitments are made to fund a loan to be sold and are recorded by allocating total costs incurred between the loan and servicing rights based on their relative fair values. MSRs are amortized
78

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
in proportion to sold mortgages that are serviced and are included in Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.
Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of MSRs is netted against servicing fee income in Other (Loss) Income of the noninterest income category in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
MSRs are evaluated for impairment based on the estimated fair value of the MSRs. MSRs are stratified by certain risk characteristics, primarily loan term and note rate. If temporary impairment exists within a risk stratification tranche, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. If it is later determined that all or a portion of the temporary impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, the valuation allowance is reduced.
Treasury Stock
The purchase of the Company’s common stock is recorded at cost. At the date of subsequent reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced by the cost of such stock on the average cost basis, with any excess proceeds being credited to capital surplus.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Comprehensive (loss) income consists of net (loss) income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax.
Earnings Per Share
The Company provides dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated utilizing the reported net income as the numerator and weighted average shares outstanding as the denominator. The computation of diluted earnings per share differs in that the denominator is adjusted for the dilutive effects of any options and convertible securities. Treasury shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.
Stock-Based Compensation
In 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term financial success of the Company by providing a means to attract, retain and reward individuals who contribute to such success and to further align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders through the ownership of additional common stock of the Company. The effective date of the Plan is May 20, 2015, which was the date the Plan satisfied the applicable stockholder approval requirement. The Plan shall remain in effect as long as any awards are outstanding, provided, however, that no awards may be granted under the Plan after the day immediately prior to the ten-year anniversary of the effective date of May 20, 2015. All of the Company’s directors and employees are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan authorizes the granting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s stock, which may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, restricted stock awards or restricted stock units. The Plan reserved an aggregate number of 407,146 shares, of which two-thirds of the shares (271,431) may be issued as stock options and one-third of the shares (135,715) may be issued as restricted stock awards or units. Restricted stock awards or units can be issued above the one-third threshold provided that the number of shares reserved for stock options is reduced by three shares for each restricted stock award or unit granted above the one-third threshold.
ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, requires recognizing the compensation cost in the financial statements for stock-based payment transactions. Stock option expense is measured based on the grant date fair value of the stock options issued. The per share fair value of stock options granted is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, using assumptions for expected life, expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate and an expected volatility. The Company uses the simplified method to determine the expected term because it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The stock option exercise price is equal to the market value on the date of grant. Restricted stock award expense is measured based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant. Unrecognized compensation expense is recognized ratably over the remaining service period, generally defined as the vesting period, for all nonvested restricted stock awards and stock options. Restricted stock awards and stock options are typically granted with a five years vesting period at a vesting rate of 20% per year. The contractual life of stock options is typically 10 years from the date of grant.
Cash Flow Information
The Company has defined cash equivalents as those amounts due from depository institutions, interest-bearing deposits with other banks with maturities of less than 90 days, and federal funds sold.

Recent Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The elective guidance in the ASU applies to modifications of contract terms that will directly replace, or have the potential to replace, an affected rate with another interest rate index, as well as certain contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of an affected rate. The ASU notes that changes in contract terms that are made to effect the reference rate reform transition are considered related to the replacement of a reference rate if they are not the result of a business decision that is separate from or in addition to changes to the terms of a contract to effect that transition. The optional expedient allows companies to account for the modification as if it was not substantial (i.e., do not treat as an extinguishment of debt). The ASU is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. While the LIBOR reform may require extensive changes to the contracts that govern LIBOR based products, as well as our systems and processes, we cannot yet determine whether the Company will be able to use the optional expedient for the changes to contract terms that may be required by LIBOR reform and therefore, the Company cannot yet determine the magnitude of the impact or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operation.
In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740); Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 provides amendments intended to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 removes the following exceptions from ASC 740, Income Taxes: (i) exceptions to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (ii) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment or a foreign equity method investment become a subsidiary; and (iii) exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. ASU 2019-12 provides the following amendments that simplify and improve guidance with Topic 740: (i) franchise taxes that are based partially on income; (ii) transactions that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill; (iii) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax; (iv) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods; and (v) employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). ASU 2018-15 was issued to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter 2020 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition or results of operations.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). ASU 2018-13 modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This ASU removes requirements to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 clarifies that disclosure regarding measurement uncertainty is intended to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. ASU 2018-13 adds certain disclosure requirements, including disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter 2020. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively, while all other amendments should be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition or results of operations.
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, ASU 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP; and instead requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available-for-sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however this ASU requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. ASU 2016-13 affects companies holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The ASU 2016-13 amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB approved a delay of the required implementation date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies, including the Company, resulting in a required implementation date for the Company of January 1, 2023. Early adoption will continue to be permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and expects to recognize a one-time adjustment to the allowance for loan losses upon adoption, but we cannot yet determine the magnitude of the one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operation.
NOTE 2—(LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
There are no convertible securities, which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net (loss) income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Operations is used as the numerator.
The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation.
Year Ended December 31,20202019
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
Net (Loss) Income$(10,640)$14,327 
Weighted-Average Basic Common Shares Outstanding5,406,290 5,434,649 
Dilutive Effect of Common Stock Equivalents (Stock Options and Restricted Stock)— 14,112

(Loss) Earnings per share:
Basic$(1.97)$2.64 
Diluted(1.97)2.63 
The dilutive effect on weighted average diluted common shares outstanding is the result of outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted stock. The following table presents for the periods indicated (a) options to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding but not included in the computation of earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the period, and (b) shares of restricted stock awards that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the hypothetical repurchase of shares under the treasury stock method exceeded the weighted average nonvested restricted awards, therefore the effects would be anti-dilutive.
Year Ended December 31,20202019
Stock Options218,683 87,071 
Restricted Stock76,190 33,350 
When there is a net loss for the period, the exercise or conversion of any potential shares increases the number of shares in the denominator and results in a lower loss per share. In that situation, the potential shares are antidilutive and not included in the Company's loss per share calculation. Therefore, if there is a net loss, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share.

For debt securities, the Company does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2020 or 2019, represents an other-than-temporary impairment. The securities that are temporarily impaired at December 31, 2020 and 2019, relate principally to changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of the specific securities. The Company does not intend to sell or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost or maturity of the security.
Securities available-for-sale with a fair value of $119.7 million and $151.2 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are pledged to secure public deposits, short-term borrowings and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

In 2019, the realized loss on the sale of debt securities was recognized to mitigate investment-credit risk and to reinvest in higher yielding, longer-term investments as well as to mitigate call risk in a declining interest rate environment.

The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and provided over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which included authorizing the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On April 16, 2020, the original $349 billion funding cap was reached. On April 23, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act (the “PPP Enhancement Act”) was signed into law and included an additional $484 billion in COVID-19 relief, including allocating an additional $310 billion to replenish the PPP.
PPP was designed to help small businesses keep their workforce employed and cover expenses during the COVID-19 crisis. Under the PPP, participating SBA and other qualifying lenders originated loans to eligible businesses that are fully guaranteed by the SBA as to principal and accrued interest, have more favorable terms than traditional SBA loans and may be forgiven if the proceeds are used by the borrower for certain eligible purposes. PPP loans have an interest rate of 1% per annum. Loans issued prior to June 5, 2020 have a term to maturity of two-years and loans issued after June 5, 2020 have a term to maturity of five-years. The PPP Flexibility Act of 2020 extended the deferral period for borrower payments of principal, interest, and fees on all PPP loans to the date that the SBA remits the borrower’s loan forgiveness amount to the lender (or, if the borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, 10 months after the end of the borrower’s loan forgiveness covered period). Previously the deferral period could end after six months. The Bank received a processing fee from the SBA ranging from 1% to 5% depending on the size of the loan, which was offset by a 0.75% third-party servicing agent fee.
In 2020, the Bank originated 639 PPP loans totaling $71.0 million. Among the largest sectors impacted were $15.6 million in loans for health care and social assistance, $12.6 million for construction and specialty-trade contractors, $6.1 million for professional and technical services, $6.1 million for retail trade, $5.1 million for wholesale trade, $4.6 million for manufacturing and $3.4 million for restaurant and food services. Net deferred origination fees were $2.2 million, of which $1.1 million was recognized during year ended December 31, 2020. Processing of PPP loan forgiveness began in the fourth quarter of 2020 and at December 31, 2020, PPP loans totaled $55.1 million. All PPP loans are classified as commercial and industrial loans. No allowance for loan loss was allocated to the PPP loan portfolio due to the Bank complying with the lender obligations that ensure SBA guarantee.
The SBA reopened the PPP the week of January 11, 2021 and began accepting applications for both First Draw and Second Draw PPP Loans. Second Draw PPP Loans are available for certain eligible borrowers that previously received a PPP loan. A Second Draw PPP Loan has the same general terms as the First Draw PPP Loan. A borrower is generally eligible for a Second Draw PPP Loan if the borrower previously received a First Draw PPP Loan and will or has used the full amount only for authorized uses, has no more than 300 employees, and can demonstrate at least a 25% reduction in gross receipts between comparable quarters in 2019 and 2020. For most borrowers, the maximum amount of a Second Draw PPP Loan is 2.5x average monthly 2019 or 2020 payroll costs up to $2.0 million. Loan payments will be deferred for borrowers who apply for loan forgiveness until the SBA remits the borrower's loan forgiveness amount to the lender. If a borrower does not apply for loan forgiveness, payments are deferred 10 months after the end of the covered period for the borrower’s loan forgiveness (either 8 weeks or 24 weeks). For PPP loans made on or after December 27, 2020, the lender’s processing fee from the SBA is the lesser of 50% or $2,500 for loans up to $50,000, 5% for loans greater than $50,000 and up to $350,000, 3% for loans greater than $350,000 and less than $2.0 million and 1% for loans of at least $2.0 million. As of February 28, 2021, the Bank received 181 applications totaling $26.7 million with total estimated processing fees of $1.2 million.

The increase in nonaccrual commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 is primarily related to two hospitality loans with a total principal balance of $6.9 million that were impacted by the pandemic due to insufficient cash flows and occupancy rates. The increase in nonaccrual commercial and industrial loans is primarily related to a $1.3 million relationship.
Total unrecorded interest income related to nonaccrual loans was $233,000 and $74,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Loans acquired in connection with the previous mergers were recorded at their estimated fair value at the acquisition date and did not include a carryover of the allowance for loan losses because the determination of the fair value of acquired loans incorporated credit risk assumptions. The loans acquired with evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected were not significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increase in unemployment and recessionary economic conditions in 2020. Based on evaluation of the macroeconomic conditions, the qualitative factors used in the allowance for loan loss analysis were increased in 2020 primarily related to economic trends and industry conditions as a result of the pandemic and vulnerable industries such as hospitality and retail. In addition, an increase in commercial real estate loans combined with an increase in the historical loss factor primarily related to a $931,000 commercial real estate loan charge-off resulted in an increase commercial real estate loan reserves. The combination of these factors primarily resulted in a $4.0 million provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Prior to 2020, management determined historical loss experience for each segment of loans using a two-year rolling average of the net charge-off data within each loan segment, which was then used in combination with qualitative factors to calculate the general allowance component that covers pools of homogeneous loans that are not specifically evaluated for impairment. Starting in 2020, the Company began using a five-year rolling average of the net charge-off data within each segment. This change was driven by no net charge-off experience in the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial segments in the prior two-year rolling period as of March 31, 2020, which the Company determined did not represent the inherent risks in those segments. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company incurred $1.4 million of commercial and industrial charge-offs, however this period would have been removed from the lookback period as of March 31, 2020 if continuing to use a two-year history. In addition, moving to a five-year history is expected to improve the calculation moving forward by capturing economic ebbs and flows over a longer period while also not heavily weighting one period of charge-off activity.

NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
The COVID-19 pandemic that has impacted the U.S. and most of the world along with government response to curtail the spread of the virus beginning in March 2020 has significantly impacted our market area. These restrictions have resulted in significant adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, and stock market valuations have decreased substantially for most companies in the banking sector, including the Company. In light of the adverse circumstances resulting from COVID-19, management determined it was necessary to quantitatively evaluate goodwill for impairment at September 30, 2020.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under a quantitative goodwill impairment test is judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The methodology used to assess impairment was a combination of the income approach (i.e. discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method) and the market approach (i.e. Guideline Public Company ("GPC") method) to determine the fair value.
In the application of the income approach, the Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit using a DCF analysis. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future earnings or cash flows to present value to arrive at a value that is indicated by market expectations about future amounts. The income approach relies on Level 3 inputs along with a market-derived cost of capital when measuring fair value. Fair value is determined by converting anticipated benefits into a present single value. Once the benefit or benefits are selected, an appropriate discount or capitalization rate is applied to each benefit. These rates are calculated using the appropriate measure for the size and type of company, using financial models and market data as required. The discount rate was derived based on the modified capital asset pricing model. The discount rate applied is comprised of a risk-free rate of return, an equity risk premium, a size premium and a factor covering the systemic market risk and a company specific risk premium. The values for the factors applied are determined primarily using external sources of information. The discount rate was estimated at 13.3%. Using the discount rate derived from the above components, the Company subtracted an expected sustainable long-term growth estimate of 3.0% given expected growth in the geographic market and the overall long-term economy to arrive at a capitalization rate of 10.3%. The DCF model also used prospective financial information. For purposes of the impairment test, the Company’s financial plans for the remainder of 2020 through 2024 were updated for the projected impact of COVID-19 on the net revenue growth and asset utilization. Estimating future earnings and capital requirements involves judgment and the consideration of past and current performance and overall macroeconomic and regulatory environments.
The market approach uses observable prices and other relevant information that is generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The fair value measure is based on the value that those transactions indicate. Under the market approach, the Company utilized Level 1 and 2 inputs when measuring fair value. In the application of the market approach, the GPC method of appraisal is based on the premise that pricing multiples of publicly traded companies can be used as a tool to be applied in valuing a closely held entity. A value multiple or ratio relates a stock’s market price to the reported accounting data such as revenue, earnings, and book value. These ratios provide an objective basis for measuring the market’s perception of a stock’s fair value. Value ratios generally reflect the trends in growth, performance and stability of the financial results of operations. In this way, the business and financial risks exhibited by an industry or group of companies can be viewed in relation to market values. Value ratios also reflect the market’s outlook for the economy as a whole. Guideline companies
92

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
provide a reasonable basis for comparison to the relative investment characteristics of the company being valued. Utilizing publicly traded companies located in Pennsylvania and surrounding states with assets between $1.0 billion and $2.5 billion and return on assets greater than 0.5%, the Company analyzed the relationships between the guideline companies' asset size, profitability, asset quality and capital ratios and applied a control premium of 34% to the selected guideline company multiples. The control premium is management's estimate of how much a market participant would be willing to pay over the fair market value in consideration of synergies and other benefits that flow from control of the entity.
The Company also considered the GPC method using trading activity of publicly traded companies that are most similar to the Company. While the banking industry typically has a sufficient level of mergers and acquisitions activity to rely on this method under the market approach, there were only seven transactions involving target institutions with assets greater than $1 billion announced since March 1, 2020 (post-COVID) through the September 30, 2020 assessment date. Of these, only two have closed. Therefore, the Company was unable to rely on this method in our analysis.
The Company then placed equal consideration on the results of the income and market approaches to determine the concluded fair value of the reporting unit. The weighting is judgmental and is based on the perceived level of appropriateness of the valuation methodology. Estimating the fair value involves the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. If current conditions change from those expected, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods and require management to further evaluate goodwill for impairment.
As a result of the quantitative goodwill impairment test and in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the Company concluded that goodwill was impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as the Company's estimated fair value was less than its book value. This was a non-cash charge to earnings and had no impact on regulatory capital, cash flows or liquidity position.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment for the annual impairment goodwill test completed as of October 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020 to determine if there was a material change in the most recent quantitative assessment that was performed at September 30, 2020. The Company determined there were not significant changes in macroeconomic conditions, stock price performance, overall financial performance and other relevant or entity-specific events since the most recent quantitative assessment that it is not more likely than not that goodwill was further impaired.

The Bank maintained a credit arrangement with the FHLB with a maximum borrowing limit of approximately $421.5 million and $374.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and available borrowing capacity of $320.8 million at December 31, 2020. This arrangement is subject to annual renewal, incurs no service charge, and is secured by a blanket security agreement on $564.7 million of residential and commercial mortgage loans and the Bank’s investment in FHLB stock. Under this arrangement the Bank had available a variable rate line of credit in the amount of $150.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of which, there was no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
As an alternative to pledging securities, the FHLB periodically provides standby letters of credit on behalf of the Bank to secure certain public deposits in excess of the level insured by the FDIC. If the FHLB is required to make payment for a beneficiary’s draw, the payment amount is converted into a collateralized advance to the Bank. Standby letters of credit issued on our behalf by the FHLB to secure public deposits were $90.3 million and $41.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The Bank maintains a Borrower-In-Custody of Collateral line of credit agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) for $91.5 million that requires monthly certification of collateral, is subject to annual renewal, incurs no service charge and is secured by $133.8 million of commercial and consumer indirect auto loans. The Bank also maintains multiple line of credit arrangements with various unaffiliated banks totaling $60.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of which no draws had been taken.
The Company is not a party to any credit arrangements.

While the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) enacted in 2017 was the first major overhaul of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) in the last 30 years, it had many items that were left unaddressed once certain tax deadlines passed and for which no formal regulations had been issued as of December 31, 2018. One of these unaddressed tax deadlines was the expiration of the
96

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforward after the 2021 tax year. Pre–Tax Act regulations allowed for AMT credits to carryforward infinitely. As of December 31, 2018, it was determined that an AMT credit carryforward of approximately $1.3 million, acquired in the FWVB merger on April 30, 2018, would remain unutilized as of December 31, 2021 as a result of IRC Section 382 and 383 annual limitations. As a result of the uncertainty of the utilization of the AMT credit carryforwards post-2021, a valuation allowance (“VA”) was established for the AMT credit carryforward deferred tax asset (“DTA”) balance of $1.3 million, which was offset against goodwill at December 31, 2018. This is in accordance with ASC Topic 805 – Business Combinations, due to the AMT credit carryforward being realized under current tax law and minimal possibility of utilization as of the 2021 tax year, deemed to have no current value and offset into goodwill as a purchase accounting adjustment.
During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2019, the IRS issued clarifying guidance under IRC Section 382(h) that provided an alternative approach to calculating unrealized built-in gains (“UBIGs”) related to the FWVB acquisition that impact annual Section 382 limitations. This approach is referred to as the “Section 338” approach and allows for the “realization” of UBIGs based on a “deemed asset acquisition” method, rather than “actual realization”, which accelerates UBIGs utilization and increases the annual Section 382 limitations. The Company performed an analysis of its built-in gains associated with the FWVB acquisition and elected to change its approach from the Section 1374 approach to the Section 338 approach in determining its annual limitations under section 382 and 383. As a result of this analysis as well as consideration of a number of factors, including the Company's current profitability, its forecast of future profitability, and evaluation of existing tax regulations related to NOL and AMT credit carryforwards, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income within the applicable carryforward periods to realize its net operating loss (“NOL”) and AMT credit carryforwards by December 31, 2021. Therefore, for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1.3 million related to the reversal of 100% of the VA for the AMT credit carryforward. No other VA was established against the remaining DTA in view of the Company’s cumulative history of earnings and anticipated future taxable income as evidenced by the Company’s earnings potential at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business primarily to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby and performance letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Financial Condition. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby and performance letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

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. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Performance letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance-related contracts. The coverage period for these instruments is typically a one-year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management. Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the letter. For secured letters of credit, the collateral is typically Company deposit instruments or customer business assets. The Company recorded no liability associated with standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
NOTE 13—REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, each 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. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Under the Regulatory Capital Rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers), a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity Tier I capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank was considered "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. At December 31, 2020, the Bank's capital ratios were not affected by loans modified in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act. In addition, PPP loans received a zero-percent risk weight under the regulatory capital rules regardless of whether they were pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank's PPP lending facility, but were included in the Bank's leverage ratio requirement due to the Bank not pledging the loans as collateral to the PPP lending facility.

NOTE 14—OPERATING LEASES
The Company evaluates all contracts at commencement to determine if a lease is present. In accordance with ASC Topic 842, leases are defined as either operating or finance leases. The Company's lease contracts are classified as operating leases and create operating ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The leases are ROU assets of land and building for branch and loan production locations. The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the prospective method approach to all identified lease contracts or agreements, which permitted the Company to not restate comparative periods. In addition, since there were no readily determinable rates implicit in the operating leases, the incremental borrowing rate based on the lease term was used upon lease inception or as of the January 1, 2019 transition date. ROU assets are reported in Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets and the related lease liabilities in Accrued Interest Payable and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

NOTE 16—FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE 
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value and provides the framework for measuring fair value and required disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability at the transaction date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methods to determine fair value.
The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 -    Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and are used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2 -    Fair value is based on significant inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices in active markets for similar assets, quoted market prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, and other observable inputs.
Level 3 -    Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs. Examples of valuation methodologies that would result in Level 3 classification include option pricing models, discounted cash flows, and other similar techniques.
102

cbfv-20201231_g1.jpg
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents the financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of the dates indicated, by level within the fair value hierarchy. The majority of the Company’s securities are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for Level 2 securities were primarily determined by a third-party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates. The standard inputs that are normally used include benchmark yields of like securities, reportable trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. There were no transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The table also presents the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral that secure the impaired loans include quoted market prices for identical assets classified as Level 1 inputs or observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets classified as Level 2 inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included inputs that are unobservable and are based on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level 3 inputs.

(2)    Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of appraisal adjustments and liquidation expense are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loans and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the fair value of impaired loans consists of the loan balance of $3.6 million and $4.0 million less their specific valuation allowances of $649,000 and $884,000, respectively.
The fair value of MSRs is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, considering expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions. The expected rate of mortgage loan prepayments is the most significant factor driving the value of MSRs. MSRs are considered impaired if the carrying value exceeds fair value. Since the valuation model includes significant unobservable inputs as listed above, MSRs are classified as Level 3.
OREO properties are evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value, less estimated selling costs. After acquisition, OREO is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. The fair value of an OREO property is determined from a qualified independent appraisal and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, one commercial real estate OREO property with a fair value of $18,000 was sold at a $4,000 gain and one residential real estate property with a fair value of $40,000 was sold at a $20,000 loss. In addition, three residential real estate loans with a fair value of $131,000 and one commercial real estate loan with a fair value of $34,000 transferred into OREO, of which the three residential properties were subsequently sold at a net loss of $2,000.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, one commercial real estate OREO property with a fair value of $697,000 was sold at a $33,000 gain and one residential real estate property with a fair value of $46,000 was sold at a loss of $3,000. In addition, four residential real estate loans with a fair value of $439,000 and one commercial real estate loan with a fair value of $18,000 transferred into OREO, of which two properties with a fair value of $387,000 were subsequently sold at a net loss of $36,000 and one property with a fair value of $12,000 was donated.
Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a libility in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses and other factors, as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates that are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in the assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.
