Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc., (the “Company”), Pathfinder Bank (the “Bank”) and its other wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Certain amounts in the 2021 consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or comprehensive income as previously reported. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or any other interim period.

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain accounting policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices or are provided by unaffiliated third-party sources, when available. When third party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management.

 

Although the Company owns, through its subsidiary Pathfinder Risk Management Company, Inc., 51% of the membership interest in FitzGibbons Agency, LLC (“Agency”), the Company is required to consolidate 100% of the Agency within the consolidated financial statements. The 49% of which the Company does not own is accounted for separately as noncontrolling interests within the consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and, to a lesser extent, other authoritative rulemaking bodies promulgate generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to regulate the standards of accounting in the United States. From time to time, the FASB issues new GAAP standards, known as Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) some of which, upon adoption, may have the potential to change the way in which the Company recognizes or reports within its consolidated financial statements. The following table provides a description of the accounting standards that are not currently effective, but could have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments—Credit Losses [Topic 326]: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments)

 

The amended guidance replaces the current incurred loss model for determining the allowance for credit losses. The guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses will represent a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present their net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. When determining the allowance, expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial asset(s) (taking into account prepayments) will be estimated considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The amended guidance also requires recording an allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination. The initial allowance for these assets will be added to the purchase price at acquisition rather than being reported as an expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance will be recorded through the income statement as an expense adjustment. In addition, the amended guidance requires credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The calculation of credit losses for available-for-sale securities will be similar to how it is determined under existing guidance.

 

January 1, 2023 (early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2019)

 

The Company is assessing new guidance to determine what modifications to existing credit estimation processes may be required. The new guidance is complex and management is evaluating preliminary output from models that have been developed during this evaluative phase. In addition, future levels of allowances will also reflect new requirements to include estimated credit losses on investment securities classified as held-to-maturity, if any. The Company has formed an Implementation Committee, whose membership includes representatives of senior management, to develop plans that will encompass: (1) internal methodology changes (2) data collection and management activities, (3) internal communication requirements, and (4) estimation of the projected impact of this guidance. It has been generally assumed that the conversion from the incurred loss model, required under current GAAP, to the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology (as required upon implementation of this Update) will, more likely than not, result in increases to the allowances for credit losses at many financial institutions. However, the amount of any change in the allowance for credit losses resulting from the new guidance will ultimately be impacted by the provisions of this guidance as well as by the loan and debt security portfolios composition and asset quality at the adoption date, and economic conditions and forecasts at the time of adoption. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption. The cumulative impact of the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the changes to the allowance for loan losses, that will be required upon the implementation of the CECL methodology, cannot be estimated at this time.

Transition Relief for the Implementation of ASU-2016-13 (ASU 2019-5: Financial Instruments—Credit Losses [Topic 326]: Targeted Transition Relief)

 

The amendments in this ASU provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments—Overall, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently apply the guidance in Subtopics 820-10, Fair Value Measurement—Overall, and 825-10. General guidance for the use of the fair value option is contained in Subtopic 825-10. The irrevocable election of the fair value option must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, whose characteristics are within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Upon adoption of Topic 326, for items measured at fair value in accordance with paragraph 326-10-65-1(i), the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value shall be recorded by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance as of the beginning of the first reporting period that an entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. Those differences may include, but are not limited to: (1) unamortized deferred costs, fees, premiums, and discounts (2) valuation allowances (for example, allowance for loan losses), or (3) accrued interest.

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (ASU 2019-11- Codification Improvements to Topic 326)

 

On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. That model replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. Through the amendments in that Update, the Board added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. The Board has an ongoing project on its agenda for improving the Codification or correcting its unintended application. The items addressed in that project generally are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost for most entities. The amendments in this Update are similar to those items. However, the Board decided to issue a separate Update for improvements to the amendments in Update 2016-13 to increase stakeholder awareness of those amendments and to expedite the improvement process. The amendments include items brought to the Board's attention by stakeholders.

The amendments in this Update clarify or address stakeholders' specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in Update 2016-13 as described below:

1. Expected Recoveries for Purchased Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration (PCDs): The amendments clarify that the allowance for credit losses for PCD assets should include in the allowance for credit losses expected recoveries of amounts previously written off and expected to be written off by the entity and should not exceed the aggregate of amounts of the amortized cost basis previously written off and expected to be written off by an entity. In addition, the amendments clarify that when a method other than a discounted cash flow method is used to estimate expected credit losses, expected recoveries should not include any amounts that result in an acceleration of the noncredit discount. An entity may include increases in expected cash flows after acquisition.
2. Transition Relief for Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs): The amendments provide transition relief by permitting entities an accounting policy election to adjust the effective interest rate on existing TDRs using prepayment assumptions on the date of adoption of Topic 326 rather than the prepayment assumptions in effect immediately before the restructuring.
3. Disclosures Related to Accrued Interest Receivables: The amendments extend the disclosure relief for accrued interest receivable balances to additional relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis.
4. Financial Assets Secured by Collateral Maintenance Provisions: The amendments clarify that an entity should assess whether it reasonably expects the borrower will be able to continually replenish collateral securing the financial asset to apply the practical expedient. The amendments clarify that an entity applying the practical expedient should estimate expected credit losses for any difference between the amount of the amortized cost basis that is greater than the fair value of the collateral securing the financial asset (that is, the unsecured portion of the amortized cost basis). An entity may determine that the expectation of nonpayment for the amount of the amortized cost basis equal to the fair value of the collateral securing the financial asset is zero.
5. Conforming Amendment to Subtopic 805-20: The amendment to Subtopic 805-20,
Business Combinations—Identifiable Assets and Liabilities, and Any Noncontrolling Interest, clarifies the guidance by removing the cross-reference to Subtopic 310-30 in paragraph 805-20-50-1 and replacing it with a cross-reference to the guidance on PCD assets in Subtopic 326-20.

 

January 1, 2023 (early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2019). The effective dates and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in Update 2016-13.

 

The Company is assessing the new guidance to determine what modifications to existing credit estimation processes may be required. The new guidance is complex and management is still evaluating the preliminary output from models that have been developed during this evaluative phase. In addition, future levels of allowances will also reflect new requirements to include estimated credit losses on investment securities classified as held-to-maturity, if any.

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (ASU 2022-03)

 

ASU 2022-03 provides clarification that a “contractual sale restriction prohibiting the sale of an equity security is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security” and is not included in the equity security's unit of account. Accordingly, an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value (i.e., the entity should not apply a discount related to the contractual sale restriction, as stated in ASC 820-10-35-36B as amended by the ASU). In addition, the ASU prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account.
Under the existing guidance in ASC 820-10-35-6B, “although a reporting entity must be able to access the market, the reporting entity does not need to be able to sell the particular asset or transfer the particular liability on the measurement date to be able to measure fair value on the basis of the price in that market.” ASU 2022-03 clarifies that an entity should apply this existing guidance when measuring the fair value of equity securities that are subject to contractual sale restrictions (i.e., a contractual sale restriction on the reporting entity that prevents the sale of an equity security in the market does not prevent the entity from measuring the fair value of the equity security on the basis of the price in that principal market). In transition, all entities other than investment companies as defined in ASC 946 should apply the amendments in ASU 2022-03 prospectively and recognize in earnings on the adoption date any adjustments made as a result of adoption.

 

For public business entities, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. For all other entities, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.

 

The Company is assessing the new guidance to determine the financial impact of this transition and does not expect that the guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated statements of financial condition or income.

Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method (ASU 2022-01)

 

Under current guidance, the last-of-layer method enables an entity to apply fair value hedging to a stated amount of a closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets (or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments) without having to consider prepayment risk or credit risk when measuring those assets. ASU 2022-01 expands the scope of this guidance to allow entities to apply the portfolio layer method to portfolios of all financial assets, including both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets. This scope expansion is consistent with the FASB’s efforts to simplify hedge accounting and allows entities to apply the same method to similar hedging strategies. ASU 2022-01 expands and clarifies the current guidance on accounting for fair value hedge basis adjustments under the portfolio layer method for both single-layer and multiple-layer hedges. An entity should adjust the basis of the hedged item for the change in fair value that is attributable to changes in the hedged risk (i.e., interest rate risk) as of each reporting date. However, the hedged item (i.e., the hedged layer) in a portfolio layer method hedge is related to multiple assets within a closed portfolio, but it is not necessarily related to all of the assets within that portfolio. Accordingly, ASU 2022-01 clarifies that an entity would adjust the basis at the portfolio level and should not allocate it to individual assets within the portfolio. The ASU does not change an entity’s current requirement to allocate the portfolio-level basis adjustment to the individual assets within a closed portfolio upon a dedesignation of a hedging relationship. The entity must, however, 1. recognize the reversal of all basis adjustments associated with a breach in interest income and, 2. disclose the specific amount and cause of the breach. Companies are allowed to reclassify debt securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale upon adoption of the rules but only if they intend to apply portfolio layer method hedging to a closed portfolio that includes those debt securities. The decision of which securities to reclassify must be made within 30 days after the date of adoption, and the securities must be included in a closed portfolio that is designated in a portfolio layer method hedge within that 30-day period.

 

For public business entities, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance may be early adopted if an entity has adopted ASU 2017-12 for the corresponding period.

 

The Company has not yet determined which transition method will be applied to the extent that such transition adjustments are applicable. The Company does not expect that the guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated statements of financial condition or income.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures ASU 2022-02

 

ASU 2022-02 supersedes the accounting guidance for TDRs for creditors in ASC 310-40 in its entirety and requires entities to evaluate all receivable modifications under ASC 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification made to a borrower results in a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. The ASU also amends other subtopics to remove references to TDRs for creditors. In addition to the elimination of TDR guidance, an entity that has adopted ASU 2022-02 no longer considers renewals, modifications, and extensions that result from reasonably expected TDRs in their calculation of the allowance for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326-20. Due to the removal of the TDR accounting model, all loan modifications will be accounted for under the general loan modification guidance in Subtopic 310-20. On a prospective basis, entities will be subject to new disclosure requirements covering modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Public entities within the scope of Topic 326 vintage disclosure requirements also will be required to prospectively disclose current-period gross write-off information by vintage, or year of origination. In lieu of the TDR accounting model, creditors now will apply the general loan modification guidance in Subtopic 310-20 to all loan modifications, including modifications made for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Under the general loan modification guidance, a modification is treated as a new loan only if the following two conditions are met:

1. The terms of the new loan are at least as favorable to the lender as the terms for comparable loans to other customers with similar collection risks.
2. Modifications to the terms of the original loan are more than minor.
If either condition is not met, the modification is accounted for as the continuation of the old loan with any effect of the modification treated as a prospective adjustment to the loan’s effective interest rate. Whether a modification is a new loan or the continuation of the original loan will determine whether net deferred fees or costs from the original loan are recognized in earnings (new loan) or continue to be accreted or amortized (continuation of original loan).

 

For entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2022-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, the effective dates for the amendments in ASU 2022-02 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2016-13. The amendments in ASU 2022-02 should be applied prospectively, except as provided in the next sentence. For the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption of the amendments in ASU 2022-02 is permitted if an entity has adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments in ASU 2022-02 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period.

 

The Company is assessing the new guidance to determine what modifications to existing TDRs may be required. The new guidance is being evaluated as part of the CECL methodology and will be considered in conjunction with the preliminary output from CECL models that have been developed during this evaluative phase. The Company has formed an Implementation Committee, whose membership includes representatives of senior management, to develop plans that will encompass: (1) internal methodology changes (2) data collection and management activities, (3) internal communication requirements, and (4) estimation of the projected impact of this guidance.

Note 3: Earnings per Common Share

 

Following shareholder approval received on June 4, 2021, the Company converted 1,380,283 shares of its Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock") to an equal number of shares of its newly-created Series A Non-Voting Common Stock. The conversion, which was effective on June 28, 2021, represented 100% of the Company's Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock outstanding at the time of the conversion and retired the Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock in perpetuity.

 

The Company has voting common stock, non-voting common stock and a warrant that are all eligible to participate in dividends equal to the voting common stock dividends on a per share basis. Securities that participate in dividends, such as the Company’s non-voting common stock and warrant, are considered “participating securities”. The Company calculates net income available to voting common shareholders using the two-class method required for capital structures that include participating securities.

 

In applying the two-class method, basic net income per share was calculated by dividing net income (less any dividends on participating securities) by the weighted average number of shares of voting common stock and participating securities outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated by applying either the two-class method or the Treasury Stock method to the assumed exercise or vesting of potentially dilutive common shares. The method yielding the more dilutive result is ultimately reported for the applicable period. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents primarily consist of employee stock options and restricted stock units. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per common share until they are committed to be released to plan participants.

 

Anti-dilutive shares are common stock equivalents with average exercise prices in excess of the weighted average market price for the period presented. Anti-dilutive stock options, not included in the computation below, were -0- for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and -0- for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Excluding the effects of changes in the characteristics of individual debt securities that potentially give rise to other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), as described below, the fair market value of a debt security as of a particular measurement date is highly dependent upon prevailing market and economic environmental factors at the measurement date relative to the prevailing market and economic environmental factors present at the time the debt security was acquired. The most significant market and environmental factors include, but are not limited to (1) the general level of interest rates, (2) the relationship between shorter-term interest rates and longer-term interest rates (referred to as the “slope” of the interest rate

- 19 -


 

yield curve), (3) general bond market liquidity, (4) the recent and expected near-term volume of new issuances of similar debt securities, and (5) changes in the market values of individual loan collateral underlying mortgage-backed an asset-backed debt securities. Changes in interest rates affect the fair market values of debt securities by influencing the discount rate applied to the securities’ future expected cash flows. The higher the discount rate, the lower the resultant security fair value at the measurement date. Conversely, the lower the discount rate, the higher the resultant security fair value at the measurement date. In addition, the cumulative amount and timing of undiscounted cash flows of debt securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates. For any given level of movement in the general market and economic environmental factors described above, the magnitude of any particular debt security’s price changes will also depend heavily upon security-specific factors such as (1) the duration of the security, (2) imbedded optionality contractually granted to the issuer of the security with respect to principal prepayments, and (3) changes in the level of market premiums demanded by investors for securities with imbedded credit risk (where applicable).

 

The available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $189.8 million, had an aggregate fair value that exceeded its aggregate amortized historical cost by $579,000, or 0.31%, at December 31, 2021. The available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $214.4 million, had an aggregate fair value that was less than its aggregate amortized historical cost by $11.4 million, or 5.32%, at June 30, 2022. The resultant $12.0 million total decline in the fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio's aggregate fair value relative to its aggregate amortized historical cost, in the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to the significant increase in general interest rates that occurred in that period and did not represent any other-than-temporary impairment within the portfolio at June 30, 2022.

 

The Company conducts a formal review of investment securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of OTTI. The Company assesses whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the statement of condition date. Under these circumstances, OTTI is considered to have occurred (1) if we intend to sell the security; (2) if it is “more likely than not” we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not anticipated to be sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. The guidance requires that credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings while non-credit-related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Non-credit-related OTTI is based on other factors, including illiquidity and changes in the general interest rate environment. Presentation of OTTI is made in the consolidated statement of income on a gross basis, including both the portion recognized in earnings as well as the portion recorded in OCI. The gross OTTI would then be offset by the amount of non-credit-related OTTI, showing the net as the impact on earnings.

 

Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss in investment securities within the portfolio as of June 30, 2022 represents OTTI. There were a total of 14 securities classified as available-for-sale (aggregate amortized historical cost of $53.9 million, unrealized aggregate loss of $4.3 million, or -8.0%) and eight securities classified as held-to-maturity (aggregate amortized historical cost of $11.7 million, unrealized aggregate loss of $1.6 million, or -13.4%) that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer at June 30, 2022. In total, therefore, at June 30, 2022 there were 22 securities with an aggregate book value of $65.5 million and an aggregate fair value of $59.6 million, representing a loss of $5.9 million, or -9.0%, that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more on that date.

 

 

Each security which has been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more has been analyzed and is not considered to be impaired. These securities have unrealized losses primarily due to increases in general interest rates (therefore increasing the discount rate used to determine the security's fair value on the measurement date) or changes in expected prepayments. In all cases, price improvement in future periods will be substantially realized as the issuances approach maturity. Of the total of 22 securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more at June 30, 2022, ten securities, with aggregate amortized cost balances of $47.9 million and representing 73.8% of the aggregate amortized cost of all securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more, are issued by the United States government or GSEs. The ultimate collection of contractual principal and interest is assured for these securities and therefore no existing or potential credit impairment exists.

 

In addition to these nine securities, the Company held the following 13 non-government-issued/backed securities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 or more months at June 30, 2022:

- 20 -


 

One municipal bond, categorized as available for sale, with an amortized historical cost of $2.2 million (unrealized loss of $189,000, or -8.57%). This security maintains a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered as investment grade and therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present.
One corporate bond, categorized as available for sale, with an amortized historical cost of $754,000 (unrealized loss of $139,000, or -18.44%). This security maintains a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered as investment grade and therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present.
One privately-issued asset-backed security, categorized as available-for-sale, and collateralized, to a substantial degree, by government guaranteed student loans, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $3.0 million (unrealized aggregate loss of $146,000, or -4.88%). This security maintains a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered as investment grade and therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present.
Three privately-issued mortgage-backed securities, categorized as available-for-sale, and collateralized by various forms of residential and commercial mortgages, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $4.0 million (unrealized aggregate loss of $177,000, or -4.50%). These securities were not rated at the time of their issuances by any NRSRO but each remains significantly collateralized through subordination and other credit enhancements. Therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present.
Three securities, categorized as issued by unrelated state and/or political subdivisions (generally referred to as “municipal’ securities), categorized as held-to-maturity, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $5.3 million (unrealized loss of $1.1 million, or -20.31%). These securities each maintain a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered as investment grade and therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present.
One corporate bond, categorized as held-to-maturity, with an amortized historical cost of $750,000 (unrealized loss of $26,000, or -3.47%). This security is issued by a well-capitalized financial institution and was unrated at issuance. Management monitors the financial position of the institution and believes that the ultimate collection of all contractually-due principal and interest is assured. Therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present.
One privately-issued asset-backed security, categorized as available-for-sale, with an amortized historical cost of $1.0 million (unrealized loss of $118,000, or -11.39%). This security is backed by real estate lease contracts and maintains a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered as investment grade and therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present.
Two privately-issued mortgage-backed securities, categorized as held-to-maturity, and collateralized by various forms of commercial loans, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $3.6 million (unrealized aggregate loss of $334,000, or -9.22%). These securities each maintain a credit rating established by one or more NRSRO above the minimum level required to be considered as investment grade and therefore, no credit-related OTTI is deemed to be present.

 

The Company does not intend to sell these securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, securities with a fair value of $83.9 million and $103.2 million, respectively, were pledged to collateralize certain municipal deposit relationships. As of the same dates, securities with a fair value of $7.0 million and $9.4 million, respectively, were pledged against certain borrowing arrangements.

 

Management has reviewed its loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and determined that, to the best of its knowledge, only minimal exposure exists to sub-prime or other high-risk residential mortgages. With limited exceptions in the Company’s investment portfolio involving the most senior tranches of securitized bonds, the Company is not in the practice of investing in, or originating, these types of investments or loans.

 

 

Note 5: Pension and Postretirement Benefits

 

The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering most employees. The plan provides defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. On May 14, 2012, the Company informed its employees of its decision to freeze participation and benefit accruals under the plan, primarily to reduce some of the volatility in earnings that can accompany the maintenance of a defined benefit plan. The plan was frozen on June 30, 2012. Compensation earned by employees up to June 30, 2012 is used for purposes of calculating benefits under the plan but there are no future benefit accruals after this date. Participants as of June 30, 2012 will continue to earn vesting credit with respect to their frozen accrued benefits as they continue to work. In addition, the Company provides certain health and life insurance benefits for a limited number of eligible retired employees. The healthcare plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted annually; the life insurance plan is noncontributory. Employees with less than 14 years of service as of January 1, 1995, are not eligible for the health and life insurance retirement benefits.

Although the Bank may sometimes purchase or fund loan participation interests outside of its primary market areas, the Bank generally originates residential mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans largely to customers throughout Oswego and Onondaga counties. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its borrowers’ abilities to honor their loan contracts is dependent upon the counties’ employment and economic conditions.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of $117.2 million and $123.2 million, respectively, have been pledged by the Company to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) under a blanket collateral agreement to secure the Company’s line of credit and term borrowings.

 

Loan Origination / Risk Management

 

The Company’s lending policies and procedures are presented in Note 5 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2022 and have not changed. As part of the execution of the Company’s overall balance sheet management strategies, the Bank will acquire participating interests in loans originated by unrelated third parties on an occasional basis. The purchase of participations in loans that are originated by third parties only occurs after the completion of thorough pre-acquisition due diligence. Loans in which the Company acquires a participating interest are determined to meet, in all material respects, the Company’s internal underwriting policies, including credit and collateral suitability thresholds, prior to acquisition. In addition, the financial condition of the originating financial institutions, which are generally retained as the ongoing loan servicing provider for participations acquired by the Bank, are analyzed prior to the acquisition of the participating interests and monitored on a regular basis thereafter for the life of those interests.

- 24 -


 

 

To develop and document a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics but with similar methodologies for assessing risk. Each portfolio segment is broken down into loan classes where appropriate. Loan classes contain unique measurement attributes, risk characteristics, and methods for monitoring and assessing risk that are necessary to develop the allowance for loan losses. Unique characteristics such as borrower type, loan type, collateral type, and risk characteristics define each class.

 

The following table illustrates the portfolio segments and classes for the Company’s loan portfolio:

Management has reviewed its loan portfolio and determined that, to the best of its knowledge, no material exposure exists to sub-prime or other high-risk residential mortgages. The Company is not in the practice of originating these types of loans.

 

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

 

Loans are placed on nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal and interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan may be currently performing.

 

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received within thirty days of the payment due date.

At December 31, 2021, the Bank's 44 nonperforming loans represented 0.99% of total loans, with an aggregate outstanding balance of $8.3 million, as compared to 53 loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $11.7 million at June 30, 2022. This increase of $3.4 million was primarily the result of the addition of a single commercial loan relationship in the amount of $2.6 million as well as a net increase in the balances of certain other smaller balance loan categories. The $2.6 million in nonaccrual loans discussed above were returned to accrual status in July 2022.

 

At March 31, 2022, the Bank's 51 nonperforming loans represented 0.93% of total loans, with an aggregate outstanding balance of $7.9 million, as compared to 53 loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $11.7 million at June 30, 2022. This increase of $3.8 million was primarily the result of the addition of a single nonaccrual commercial loan in the amount of $2.6 million as well as a net increase in the balances of certain other smaller balance loan categories. The $2.6 million nonaccrual commercial loan discussed above was returned to accrual status in July 2022. The Bank's management is actively working with each of the nonaccrual loan borrowers and believes that the ultimate resolution of these loans will not have material effect on the results of the Company's operations in future periods.

 


 

The Company is required to disclose certain activities related to Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) in accordance with accounting guidance. Certain loans have been modified as a TDR where economic concessions have been granted to a borrower who is experiencing, or expected to experience, financial difficulties. These economic concessions could include a reduction in the loan interest rate, extension of payment terms, reduction of principal amortization, or other actions that it would not otherwise consider for a new loan with similar risk characteristics.

 

The Company is required to disclose new TDRs for each reporting period for which an income statement is being presented. The pre-modification outstanding recorded investment is the principal loan balance less the provision for loan losses before the loan was modified as a TDR. The post-modification outstanding recorded investment is the principal balance less the provision for loan losses after the loan was modified as a TDR. Additional provision for loan losses is the change in the allowance for loan losses between the pre-modification outstanding recorded investment and post-modification outstanding recorded investment.

 

The Company had one loan that was modified as a TDR for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

The Company had two loans that were modified as TDRs for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

The tables below detail loans that had been modified as TDRs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The loans evaluated for impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 have been classified as TDRs due to economic concessions granted, which consisted of a reduction in the stated interest rate, a significant delay in the timing of the payment or an extended maturity date that will result in a significant delay in payment from the original terms.

 

The Company had no loans that were modified as TDRs for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

The Company had five loans that were modified as TDRs for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

The Company is required to disclose loans that have been modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months in which there was payment default after the restructuring. The Company defines payment default as any loans 90 days past due on contractual payments.

 

The Company had no loans that were modified as TDRs during the twelve months prior to June 30, 2022, which had subsequently defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

The Company had no loans that were modified as TDRs during the twelve months prior to June 30, 2021, which had subsequently defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

When the Company modifies a loan within a portfolio segment that is individually evaluated for impairment, a potential impairment is analyzed either based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the interest rate of the original loan terms or the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. If it is determined that the value of the loan is less than its recorded investment, then impairment is recognized as a component of the provision for loan losses, an associated increase to the allowance for loan losses or as a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses in the current period.

Note 7: Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Management extensively reviews recent trends in historical losses, qualitative factors, including concentrations of loans to related borrowers and concentrations of loans by collateral type, and specific reserve needs on loans individually evaluated for impairment in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We recorded $59,000 in provision for loan losses for the three month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $929,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2021. For the first six months of 2022, we recorded $161,000 in provision for loan losses as compared to $2.0 million in the same prior year six month period. The provisioning in 2022 and 2021 reflects management’s determination of additions to reserves considering loan mix changes, concentrations of loans in certain business sectors, factors related to loan quality metrics, and continued COVID-19 related economic uncertainty. The credit-sensitive portfolios continue to be carefully monitored, and the Bank will consistently apply its loan classification and reserve building methodologies to the analysis of these portfolios.

Summarized in the tables below are changes in the allowance for loan losses for the indicated periods and information pertaining to the allocation of the allowance for loan losses, balances of the allowance for loan losses, loans receivable based on individual, and collective impairment evaluation by loan portfolio class. An allocation of a portion of the allowance to a given portfolio class does not limit the Company’s ability to absorb losses in another portfolio class.

The Company’s methodology for determining its allowance for loan losses includes an analysis of qualitative factors that are added to the historical loss rates in arriving at the total allowance for loan losses needed for this general pool of loans. The qualitative factors include:

Changes in national and local economic trends;
The rate of growth in the portfolio;
Trends of delinquencies and nonaccrual balances;
Changes in loan policy; and
Changes in lending management experience and related staffing.

Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. These qualitative factors, applied to each product class, make the evaluation inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan losses analysis and calculation.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company reported $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in real estate loans in the process of foreclosure.

 

Note 9: Guarantees

 

The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risks involved

- 36 -


 

in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company had $2.9 million of standby letters of credit as of June 30, 2022. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The fair value of standby letters of credit was not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 10: Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs, minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible, and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Investment securities: The fair values of available-for-sale and marketable equity securities are obtained from an independent third party and are based on quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges where available (Level 1). If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured by utilizing matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2). Management made no adjustment to the fair value quotes that were received from the independent third party pricing service. Level 3 securities are assets whose fair value cannot be determined by using observable measures, such as market prices or pricing models. Level 3 assets are typically very illiquid, and fair values can only be calculated using estimates or risk-adjusted value ranges. Management applies known factors, such as currently applicable discount rates, to the valuation of those investments in order to determine fair value at the reporting date.

The Company holds two corporate investment securities with an amortized historical cost of $4.1 million and an aggregate fair market value of $4.8 million as of June 30, 2022. These securities have an aggregate valuation that is determined using published net asset values (NAV) derived by an analysis of the securities’ underlying assets. These securities are comprised primarily of broadly-diversified real estate holdings and are traded in secondary markets on an infrequent basis. While these securities are redeemable at least annually through tender offers made by respective issuers, the liquidation value of these securities may be below stated NAVs and also subject to restrictions as to the amount that can be redeemed at any single scheduled redemption. The Company anticipates that these securities will be redeemed by respective issuers on indeterminate future dates as a consequence of the ultimate liquidation strategies employed by the managers of these portfolios.

The Company held one private equity security investment, acquired in 2022, with an aggregate value of $677,000 at June 30, 2022, valued utilizing the unit of account (Level 2) which includes; financial metrics for the company, specific operating

- 37 -


 

key performance indicators, and market-related inputs. No income or expense has been recorded related to this investment as the investment is still in early stage funding and, therefore, the investment is carried at historical cost at June 30, 2022.

At March 31, 2022 the Company held shares in the common stock of an otherwise unaffiliated financial institution valued at $677,000. This investment was liquidated in the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Company recognized a loss of $28,000 during the quarter related to changes in the market value of the common stock investment and the fees associated with the liquidation event.

Interest rate derivatives: The fair value of the interest rate derivatives, characterized as either fair value or cash flow hedges, are calculated based on a discounted cash flow model. All future floating rate cash flows are projected and both floating rate and fixed rate cash flows are discounted to the valuation date. The benchmark interest rate curve utilized for projecting cash flows and applying appropriate discount rates is built by obtaining publicly available third party market quotes for various swap maturity terms.

Impaired loans: Impaired loans are those loans in which the Company has measured impairment based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral or the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Fair value is generally determined based upon market value evaluations by third parties of the properties and/or estimates by management of working capital collateral or discounted cash flows based upon expected proceeds. These appraisals may include up to three approaches to value: the sales comparison approach, the income approach (for income-producing property), and the cost approach. Management modifies the appraised values, if needed, to take into account recent developments in the market or other factors, such as, changes in absorption rates or market conditions from the time of valuation and anticipated sales values considering management’s plans for disposition. Such modifications to the appraised values could result in lower valuations of such collateral. Estimated costs to sell are based on current amounts of disposal costs for similar assets. These measurements are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustment upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment. A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans if the value of such loans is deemed to be less than the unpaid balance.

The following tables summarize assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the indicated dates, segregated by the level of valuation inputs within the hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

There have been no transfers of assets into or out of any fair value measurement level during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

Required disclosures include fair value information of financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

The Company has various processes and controls in place to ensure that fair value is reasonably estimated. The Company performs due diligence procedures over third-party pricing service providers in order to support their use in the valuation process.

While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period-ends, and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each period-end.

Under FASB ASC Topic 820 for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the financial assets and liabilities were valued at a price that represents the Company’s exit price or the price at which these instruments would be sold or transferred.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The Company, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amounts of these assets approximate their fair value and are classified as Level 1.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock – The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value and are classified as Level 2.

Net loans – For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently, fair value is based on carrying amounts. The fair value of other loans (for example, fixed-rate commercial real estate loans, mortgage loans, and commercial and industrial loans) is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered in the market for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan value estimates include judgments based on expected prepayment rates. The measurement of the fair value of loans, including impaired loans, is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued interest receivable and payable – The carrying amount of these assets approximates their fair value and are classified as Level 1.

- 40 -


 

Deposits – The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking, passbook savings and certain types of money management accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts) and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates of deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. Measurements of the fair value of time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Borrowings – Fixed/variable term “bullet” structures are valued using a replacement cost of funds approach. These borrowings are discounted to the FHLBNY advance curve. Option structured borrowings’ fair values are determined by the FHLB for borrowings that include a call or conversion option. If market pricing is not available from this source, current market indications from the FHLBNY are obtained and the borrowings are discounted to the FHLBNY advance curve less an appropriate spread to adjust for the option. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Subordinated debt – The Company secures quotes from its pricing service based on a discounted cash flow methodology or utilizes observations of recent highly-similar transactions which result in a Level 2 classification.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of the indicated dates are presented in the following table:

Note 11: Interest Rate Derivatives

 

The Company is exposed to certain risks from both its business operations and changes in economic conditions. As part of managing interest rate risk, the Company enters into standardized interest rate derivative contracts (designated as hedging agreements) to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company designates interest rate hedging agreements utilized in the management of interest rate risk as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Interest rate hedging agreements are entered into with counterparties that meet the Company's established credit standards and the agreements contain master netting, collateral and/or settlement provisions protecting the at-risk party. Based on adherence to the Company’s credit standards and the presence of the netting, collateral or settlement provisions, the Company believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not material at June 30, 2022. Interest rate hedging agreements are recorded at fair value as other assets or liabilities. The Company had no material derivative contracts not designated as hedging agreements at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

As a result of interest rate fluctuations, fixed-rate assets and liabilities will appreciate or depreciate in fair value. When effectively hedged, this appreciation or depreciation will generally be offset by changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are linked to the hedged assets and liabilities. This strategy is referred to as a fair value hedge. In a fair value hedge, the fair value of the derivative (the interest rate hedging agreement) and changes in the fair value of the hedged item are recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding gain or loss recognized in current earnings. The difference between changes in the fair value of the interest rate hedging agreements and the hedged items represents hedge ineffectiveness and is recorded as an adjustment to the interest income or interest expense of the respective hedged item.

Cash flows related to floating rate assets and liabilities will fluctuate with changes in underlying rate indices. When effectively hedged, the increases or decreases in cash flows related to the floating-rate asset or liability will generally be offset by changes in cash flows of the derivative instruments designated as a hedge. This strategy is referred to as a cash flow hedge. In a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss on cash flow hedges is accounted for similar to that associated with fair value hedges.

Among the array of interest rate hedging contracts, potentially available to the Company, are interest rate swap and interest rate cap (or floor) contracts. The Company uses interest rate swaps, cap or floor contracts as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. An interest rate cap is a type of interest rate derivative in which the buyer receives payments at the end of each contractual period in which the index interest rate exceeds the contractually agreed upon strike price rate. The purchaser of a cap contract will continue to benefit from any rise in interest rates above the strike price. Similarly, an interest rate floor is a derivative contract in which the buyer receives payments at the end of each period in which the interest rate is below the agreed strike price. The purchaser of a floor contract will continue to benefit from any decrease in interest rates below the strike price.

The Company records various hedges in the consolidated statements of condition at fair value. The Company’s accounting treatment for these derivative instruments is based on the instruments hedge designation determined at the inception of each derivative instrument's contractual term. The following tables show the Company’s outstanding fair value hedges at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

These amounts represent the amortized cost basis of specifically identified municipal securities designated as the underlying assets for the hedging relationship. The notional amount of the designated hedged item was $69.1 million and $61.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of the derivative resulted in a net asset position of $5.9 million and $1.3 million recorded by the Company in other assets at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company’s participation in the fair value hedge had an immaterial effect on recorded interest income at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

(2)
These amounts include the amortized cost of a specific loan pool designated as the underlying asset for the hedging relationship in which the hedged item is the underlying asset's amortized cost (last layer) projected to be remaining at the end of the contractual term of the hedging instrument. The amount of the designated hedged item was $38.7 million and $41.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of the derivative resulted in a net asset position of $1.1 million, recorded by the Company in other assets. The Company’s participation in the fair value hedge had an immaterial effect on recorded interest income at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The amounts of hedge ineffectiveness, recognized at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for cash flow hedges were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. A portion of, or the entire amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified into current earnings should a portion of, or the entire hedge, no longer be considered effective. Management believes that the hedges will remain fully effective during the remaining term of the respective hedging contracts. The changes in the fair values of the interest rate hedging agreements primarily result from the effects of changing index interest rates and the reduction of the time each quarter between the measurements date and the contractual maturity date of the hedging instrument.

 

The Company manages its potential credit exposure on interest rate swap transactions by entering into bilateral credit support agreements with each contractual counterparty. These agreements require collateralization of credit exposures beyond specified minimum threshold amounts. At June 30, 2022 the Company posted cash, held in an interest-bearing refundable escrow arrangement, in the amount of $1.6 million in order to satisfy collateral requirements associated with its hedging contracts.

The following is a discussion of key revenues within the scope of ASC 606 guidance:

Service fees – Revenue is earned through insufficient funds fees, customer initiated activities or passage of time for deposit related fees, and ATM service fees. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed, which is the same time the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied. Account maintenance fees are earned over the course of the month as the monthly maintenance performance obligation to the customer is satisfied.
Fee income – Revenue is earned through commissions on insurance and securities sales, ATM surcharge fees, and banking house rents collected. The Company earns investment advisory fee income by providing investment management services to customers under investment management contracts. As the direction of investment management accounts is provided over time, the performance obligation to investment management customers is satisfied over time, and therefore, revenue is recognized over time.
Card income – Card income consists of interchange fees from consumer debit card networks and other related services. Interchange rates are set by the card networks. Interchange fees are based on purchase volumes and other factors and are recognized as transactions occur.
Mortgage fee income and realized gain on sale of loans and foreclosed real estate – Revenue from mortgage fee income and realized gain on sale of loans and foreclosed real estate is earned through the origination of residential and commercial mortgage loans, sales of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, sales of government guarantees portions of Small Business Administration loans (“SBA loans”), and sales of foreclosed real estate, and is earned as the transaction occurs.

 

Note 14: Leases

 

The Company has operating and finance leases for certain banking offices and land under noncancelable agreements. Our leases have remaining lease terms that vary from less than two years up to 30 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for various renewal periods. All options to renew are included in the current lease term when we believe it is reasonably certain that the renewal options will be exercised.

All lease agreements, in which the Company is the lessor, are accounted for as operating leases.

 

Note 15: COVID-19

 

The World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In the United States, by the end of March 2020, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus invoked various Federal and New York State authorities to make emergency declarations and issue executive orders to limit the spread of the disease. Measures included severe restrictions on international and domestic travel, limitations on public gatherings, implementation of social distancing and sanitization protocols, school closings, orders to shelter in place and mandates to close all non-essential businesses to the public.

 

As a result of the initial and continuing outbreak, and governmental responses thereto, the spread of the coronavirus caused us to modify our business practices, in some cases substantially. These modifications included restrictions on employee travel, employee work locations, and the cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. During the most restrictive periods during the pandemic, the Company had many of its employees working remotely and significantly reduced physical customer contact with employees and other customers until the second quarter of 2021, when New York State relaxed the majority of its safety mandates. At June 30, 2022, the Bank’s offices and branches were fully accessible to the public and substantially all of the Bank's operations have returned to pre-pandemic conditions. Certain previously-relaxed social distancing and safety protocols may have to be reinstated locally or in other regions of the country and it is possible that such protocols will be reinstated broadly in the future. The economic effects of these varying protocol reinstatement actions on the Company’s operations cannot be determined with certainty at this time. In the best interests of

- 47 -


 

our employees, customers, and business partners, we will take further action, focused on safety, as may be required in the future by government authorities.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), signed into law on March 27, 2020, provided financial assistance in various forms to both businesses and consumers, including the establishment and funding of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). In addition, the CARES Act also created many directives affecting the operations of financial service providers, such as the Company, including a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans and protections for borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency. The banking regulatory agencies issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who were, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. The Company worked to assist its business and consumer customers affected by COVID-19.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Unaudited)

General

The Company is a Maryland corporation headquartered in Oswego, New York. The Company is 100% owned by public shareholders. The primary business of the Company is its investment in Pathfinder Bank (the "Bank"), a New York State chartered commercial bank, which is 100% owned by the Company. The Bank has two wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Pathfinder Risk Management Company, Inc. (“PRMC”) and Whispering Oaks Development Corp. All significant inter-company accounts and activity have been eliminated in consolidation. Although the Company owns, through its subsidiary PRMC, 51% of the membership interest in FitzGibbons Agency, LLC (“Fitzgibbons” or “Agency”), the Company is required to consolidate 100% of FitzGibbons within the consolidated financial statements. The 49% of which the Company does not own, is accounted for separately as a noncontrolling interest within the consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2022, the Company and subsidiaries had total consolidated assets of $1.36 billion, total consolidated liabilities of $1.25 billion and shareholders' equity of $107.7 million, plus noncontrolling interest of $407,000, which represents the 49% of FitzGibbons not owned by the Company.

The following discussion reviews the Company's financial condition at June 30, 2022 and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other period.

The following material under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" is written with the presumption that the users of the interim financial statements have read, or have access to, the Company's latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2022 (“the consolidated annual financial statements”) as of December 31, 2021

and 2020 and for the two years then ended. Therefore, only material changes in financial condition and results of operations are discussed in the remainder of Item 2.

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to:

Credit quality and the effect of credit quality on the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses;
Deterioration in financial markets that may result in impairment charges relating to our securities portfolio;
Competition in our primary market areas;
Changes in interest rates, inflation and national or regional economic conditions;
Changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board;
Significant government regulations, legislation and potential changes thereto;
A reduction in our ability to generate or originate revenue-producing assets as a result of compliance with heightened capital standards;
Increased cost of operations due to greater regulatory oversight, supervision and examination of banks and bank holding companies, and higher deposit insurance premiums;
Cyberattacks, computer viruses and other technological threats that may breach the security of our websites or other systems;
Technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;
Government action in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on our business and operations, including vaccination mandates and their effects on our workforce, human capital resources and infrastructure;
Limitations on our ability to expand consumer product and service offerings due to anticipated stricter consumer protection laws and regulations; and
Other risks described herein and in the other reports and statements we file with the SEC.

 

Any one or a combination of the factors identified above could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

 

COVID-19 Response

 

The World Health Organization (the “WHO”) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In the United States, by the end of March 2020, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus invoked various Federal and New York State authorities to make emergency declarations and issue executive orders to limit the spread of the disease. Measures included severe restrictions on international and domestic travel, limitations on public gatherings, implementation of social distancing and sanitization protocols, school closings, orders to shelter in place and mandates to close all non-essential businesses to the public.

 

As a result of the initial and continuing outbreak, and governmental responses thereto, the spread of the coronavirus caused us to modify our business practices, in some cases substantially. These modifications included restrictions on employee travel, employee work locations, and the cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. During the most restrictive periods during the pandemic, the Company had many of its employees working remotely and significantly reduced physical customer contact with employees and other customers until the second quarter of 2021, when

- 49 -


 

New York State relaxed the majority of its safety mandates. At June 30, 2022, the Bank’s offices and branches were fully accessible to the public and substantially all of the Bank's operations have returned to pre-pandemic conditions. Certain previously-relaxed social distancing and safety protocols may have to be reinstated locally or in other regions of the country and it is possible that such protocols will be reinstated broadly in the future. The economic effects of these varying protocol reinstatement actions on the Company’s operations cannot be determined with certainty at this time. In the best interests of our employees, customers, and business partners, we will take further action, focused on safety, as may be required in the future by government authorities.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), signed into law on March 27, 2020, provided financial assistance in various forms to both businesses and consumers, including the establishment and funding of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). In addition, the CARES Act also created many directives affecting the operations of financial service providers, such as the Company, including a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans and protections for borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency. The banking regulatory agencies issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who were, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. The Company has worked to assist its business and consumer customers affected by COVID-19.

 

Paycheck Protection Program

The Bank participated in all rounds of the PPP funded by the U.S. Treasury Department and administered by the U.S. SBA pursuant to the CARES Act and subsequent legislation. PPP loans have an interest rate of 1.0% and a two-year or five-year loan term to maturity. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and the loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses. The PPP ended in May 2021. Information related to the Company’s PPP loans are included in the following tables:

Application of Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company's consolidated quarterly financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated quarterly financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain accounting policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and

- 50 -


 

liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based on quoted market prices or are provided by unaffiliated third-party sources, when available. When third party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management.

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the annual audited consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the consolidated quarterly financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes, pension obligations, the evaluation of investment securities for other than temporary impairment, the estimation of fair values for accounting and disclosure purposes, and the evaluation of goodwill for impairment to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective and complex judgments. These areas could be the most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment on the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.

Our Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses policy establishes criteria for selecting loans to be measured for impairment based on the following:

 

Residential and Consumer Loans:

 

All loans rated substandard or worse, on nonaccrual status, and above our total related credit (“TRC”) threshold balance of $300,000.
All Troubled Debt Restructured Loans.

 

Commercial Lines and Loans, Commercial Real Estate, and Tax-exempt loans:

 

All loans rated substandard or worse, on nonaccrual status, and above our TRC threshold balance of $100,000.
All Troubled Debt Restructured Loans.

 

Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses as compared to the loan carrying value. For all other loans and leases, the Company uses the general allocation methodology that establishes an allowance to estimate the probable incurred loss for each risk-rating category.

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the future tax consequences. This is attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as net operating and capital loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date. If current available evidence about the future raises doubt about the likelihood of a deferred tax asset being realized, a valuation allowance is established. The judgment about the level of future taxable income, including that which is considered capital, is inherently subjective and is reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change.

 

On April 7, 2021, the New York State Legislature approved comprehensive tax legislation as part of the State’s 2022 Fiscal Year budget. The legislation includes increased taxes on businesses and high-income individuals among other tax law revisions. Other provisions include amendments to the real estate transfer tax. The legislation increases the corporate

- 51 -


 

franchise tax rate to 7.25% from 6.5% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 and before January 1, 2024 for taxpayers with a business income base greater than $5.0 million. In addition, the previously scheduled phase-out of the capital base tax has been delayed. The rate of the capital base was set to be reduced to 0% starting in 2021. The legislation imposes the tax at the rate of 0.1875% for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021 and before January 1, 2024, with the 0% rate to take effect in 2024.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate typically differs from the 21% federal statutory tax rate due primarily to New York State income taxes, partially offset by tax-exempt income from specific types of investment securities and loans, bank owned life insurance, and to a much lesser degree, the utilization of low income housing tax credits. Other variances from the federal statutory federal tax rate are due to the effects of transitional adjustments related to state income taxes. In addition, the tax effects of certain incentive stock option activity may reduce the Company’s effective tax rate on a sporadic basis.

We maintain a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering most employees. The plan provides defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. On May 14, 2012, we informed our employees of our decision to freeze participation and benefit accruals under the plan, primarily to reduce some of the volatility in earnings that can accompany the maintenance of a defined benefit plan. Pension and post-retirement benefit plan liabilities and expenses are based upon actuarial assumptions of future events; including fair value of plan assets, interest rates, and the length of time the Company will have to provide those benefits. The assumptions used by management are discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated annual financial statements.

The Company carries all of its available-for-sale investments at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses reported, net of tax, as an adjustment to shareholders' equity and included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), except for the credit-related portion of debt securities’ impairment losses and other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of equity securities which are charged to earnings. The Company's ability to fully realize the value of its investments in various securities, including corporate debt securities, is dependent on the underlying creditworthiness of the issuing organization. In evaluating the debt securities (both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity) portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) if we intend to sell the security; (2) if it is “more likely than not” we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) if the present value of expected cash flows is insufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. When the fair value of a held-to-maturity or available-for-sale security is less than its amortized cost basis, an assessment is made as to whether OTTI is present. The Company considers numerous factors when determining whether a potential OTTI exists and the period over which the debt security is expected to recover. The principal factors considered are (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, (2) the financial condition of the issue and (guarantor, if any) and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, (3) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, (4) any changes to the rating of the security by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”), and (5) the presence of credit enhancements, if any, including the guarantee of the federal government or any of its agencies.

The estimation of fair value is significant to several of our assets; including available-for-sale and marketable equity investment securities, intangible assets, foreclosed real estate, and the value of loan collateral when valuing loans. These are all recorded at either fair value, or the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values are determined based on third party sources, when available. Furthermore, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments as a part of the notes to the annual audited consolidated financial statements. Fair values on our available-for-sale securities may be influenced by a number of factors including market interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, and the shape of yield curves.

Fair values for securities available-for-sale are obtained from unaffiliated third party pricing services. Where available, fair values are based on quoted prices on a nationally recognized securities exchange. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using quoted market prices for similar benchmark securities. Management made no adjustments to the fair value quotes that were provided by the pricing sources. Fair values for marketable equity securities are based on quoted prices on a nationally recognized securities exchange for similar benchmark securities. The fair values of foreclosed real estate and the underlying collateral value of impaired loans are typically determined based on evaluations by third parties, less estimated costs to sell. When necessary, appraisals are updated to reflect changes in market conditions.

- 52 -


 

Management performs an annual evaluation of our goodwill for possible impairment at each of our reporting units. Based on the results of the December 31, 2021 evaluation, management has determined that the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired as of that date. Management will continuously evaluate all relevant economic and operational factors potentially affecting the Bank or the fair value of its assets, including goodwill. Should the current pandemic, or the future economic consequences thereof, require a significant and sustained change in the operations of the Bank, re-evaluations of the Bank’s goodwill valuation will be conducted on a more frequent basis.

Recent Events

On June 24, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share on the Company's voting common and non-voting common stock, and a cash dividend of $0.09 per notional share for the issued warrant relating to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022. The dividends are payable to all shareholders of record on July 15, 2022 and were paid on August 12, 2022.

Overview and Results of Operations

The following represents the significant highlights of the Company’s operating results between the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021.

 

Net income increased $264,000 or 8.74% to $3.3 million.
Basic and diluted earnings per voting common share were both $0.54 per share and increased $0.04 per share from $0.50 per share.
Return on average assets increased 4 basis points to 0.99% as the increase in income outpaced the increase in average assets.
Net interest income, after provision for loan losses, increased $632,000, or 6.8%, to $9.9 million. Excluding the provision, net interest income decreased $238,000, or 2.3%, to $10.0 million. The increase in net interest income, after provision for loan losses, was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, coupled with a decrease in the average rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities. These increases were offset by a 34 basis points decrease in the average yield earned on the average balance of interest-earning assets. Additionally, a reduction in the provision for loan losses of $870,000 was reflective of improving asset quality metrics. The credit sensitive portfolios continue to be carefully monitored.
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.14%, a 28 basis points decrease compared to 3.42% for the second quarter of 2021. This reflects a 34 basis points decrease in the average yield earned on interest-income tax bearing assets, offset by an 8 basis points decline in the average cost paid on interest bearing liabilities.
The effective income tax rate decreased 1.1% to 21.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 22.1% for the same three month period in 2021. The decrease in the tax rate in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same quarter in 2021, was primarily related to an increase in tax exempt income derived from increased average balances invested in securities issued by state and political subdivisions. In addition, the Company increased its revenues subject to the application of New York State permanent differences, relative to its total revenues in 2022, thereby reducing the Company's state taxable income.

 

The following represents significant highlights of the Company's operating results between the first six months of 2022 and the first six months of 2021.

 

Net income increased $1.1 million, or 20.5%, to $6.2 million.
Basic and diluted earnings per voting common share were both $1.03 per share and increased $0.16 per share.
Return on average assets increased 13 basis points to 0.94% as the increase in income outpaced the increase in average assets.
Net interest income, after provision for loan losses, increased by $2.5 million, or 14.7%, to $19.3 million. This increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses was primarily due to the decrease in total interest expense, combined with an increase in the average balances of interest-earning assets.
Net interest margin decreased by 3 basis points to 3.10%, primarily as the result of a 22 basis points decline in the average cost for interest-bearing liabilities, offset by a 22 basis points decrease in the average yield for interest-earning assets.

- 53 -


 

The effective income tax rate increased 0.1% to 21.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 21.5% for the same six month period in 2021. The increase in the tax rate in the first six months of 2022 was primarily related to an increase in accruals for New York State related taxes and the timing of certain potential deductions related to New York State taxable income.

The following reflects the significant changes in financial condition between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022. In addition, the following reflects significant changes in asset quality metrics between June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Total assets increased $77.9 million, or 6.1% to $1.36 billion at June 30, 2022, as compared to December 31, 2021, primarily driven by higher investment securities balances and loan balances.
Asset quality metrics, as measured by net loan charge-offs, remained stable, in comparison to recent reporting periods. The annualized net loan charge-offs to average loans ratio was 0.00% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 0.03% for the second quarter of 2021, and 0.10% for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased 57 basis points to 1.35% at June 30, 2022, compared to 1.92% at June 30, 2021. Nonperforming loans to total loans increased 35 basis points to 1.35% at June 30, 2022 compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2021. Correspondingly, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 111.9% at June 30, 2022, as compared to 91.3% at June 30, 2021, and 156.0% at December 31, 2021.

 

The Company had net income of $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The $264,000 increase in net income was due primarily to an $870,000 decrease in provision expense, a $71,000 decrease in provision for income taxes, and a $122,000 decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a $360,000 decrease in interest and dividend income, a $301,000 increase in noninterest expense, and a $138,000 decrease in noninterest income.

 

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $238,000, or 2.33%, to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $10.2 million for the same three month period in 2021. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in the average yields of both the loan and investment securities portfolios. These decreases resulted in a 34 basis points decrease to 3.69% in interest-earning asset yields for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 4.03% for the same three month period of the previous year. These decreases in net interest income were partially offset by an 8 basis points decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same quarter in 2021, partially offset by a $46.6 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

 

The $138,000, or 9.6%, decrease in noninterest income in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same quarterly period in 2021, was primarily the result of a decrease of $78,000 in net gains on marketable equity securities, a $74,000 decrease in service charges on deposits, and a $44,000 decrease in other charges, commissions, and fees. These decreases were partially offset by a $58,000 increase in loan servicing fees and insurance agency revenue, respectively. All other noninterest income categories netted to a $58,000 decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $7.1 million, an increase of $301,000, or 4.4%, compared to $6.8 million for the same three-month period in 2021. The increase was primarily a result of higher salaries and employee benefits expense of $284,000, or 8.1%. Partially offsetting the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was a $137,000, or 20.9%, reduction in data processing expenses, primarily the result of a reduction in ATM processing fees related to third-party vendor refunds obtained through contract renegotiation activities.

 

Management extensively reviews recent trends in changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, qualitative factors, and specific reserve needs on loans individually evaluated for impairment, in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $59,000 in provision for loan losses as compared to $929,000 in the same prior year three month period. The provision is reflective of (1) the qualitative factors used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, (2) the size of the loan portfolio, and (3) delinquent and nonaccrual loans. The second quarter provision for loan losses reflects an addition to reserves considering loan growth and asset quality metrics. The credit-sensitive portfolios continue to be carefully monitored, and the Bank will consistently apply its loan classification and reserve building methodologies to the analysis of these portfolios.

In comparing the year-over-year second quarter periods, the Company’s return on average assets increased 4 basis points to 0.99% due to the combined effects of the increase in net income (the numerator in the ratio) and the increase in average assets (the denominator in the ratio). Average assets increased due to increases in average investment securities and average loans of $74.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the same quarter of 2021. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $67.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared with the same quarter in 2021. The increase in deposits was primarily due to municipal deposit inflows and outflows due to seasonal timing of tax collections, an increase in brokered deposits and continued growth in business banking relationships. Average MMDA accounts increased $22.4 million as compared with the same quarter in 2021.

 

The Company had net income of $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income of $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $1.0 million increase in net income was due primarily to a $1.8 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $989,000 decrease in interest expense. Partially offsetting the increase in net income was a $917,000 increase in noninterest expense, a $380,000 decrease in noninterest income and a $320,000 decrease in interest and dividend income.

 

Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $669,000 to $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $18.8 million for the same six month period in 2021. Interest expense decreased $989,000 to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 22 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period; however, average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $30.2 million, or 3.1%. Average loans for the first six months of 2022 increased by $1.4 million, or 0.16%, over the prior year period, while the average interest yield earned on average loans decreased by 23 basis points, resulting in a decrease of $965,000 in interest income on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. Income from investment securities increased $630,000, or 14.4% to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Noninterest income decreased $380,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, when compared to the same six month period in 2021. Net gains on marketable equity securities decreased $244,000 and there were no gains on sale of premises and equipment when compared to the $201,000 gain in the same period in 2021. Service charges on deposit accounts and net gains on sales of foreclosed real estate also decreased $147,000 and $84,000, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2021. Other charges, commission and fees, loan servicing fees, insurance agency revenue, and earnings on bank owned life insurance increased $127,000, $85,000, $77,000 and $31,000, respectively. The net increase in these categories of noninterest income were in part due to the Company’s increased strategic focus on improving recurring noninterest income.

 

Total noninterest expense for the first six-month period of 2022 was $14.4 million, an increase of $917,000, or 6.8%, compared with $13.5 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily a result of higher salaries and employee benefits expense of $992,000, or 14.5%, and was primarily comprised of a $443,000, or 8.8%, increase in salaries, a $361,000 reduction in salaries treated as deferred expenses, a $139,000 increase in employee benefits and a $49,000 net increase in all other salaries and employee benefit expenses. The $443,000 increase in salaries was primarily due to increases in individual salaries, enacted early in 2022 and continuing through the year, as well as modest additions to staff headcount. The Company increased its salary structure where deemed appropriate in order to effectively respond to inflationary and competitive pressures within our marketplace to recruit and retain talent. The $361,000 reduction in deferred salaries was primarily due to reduced levels of PPP loan originations in 2022 as compared to the previous year. The Company originated $36.4 million in PPP loans in the first half of 2021 and $-0- in the first half of 2022. The $139,000 increase in employee benefit expenses was consistent with increased staffing levels and salaries for 2022.

 

For the first six months of 2022, we recorded $161,000 in provision for loan losses as compared to $2.0 million in the same prior year six month period. The provision is reflective of (1) the qualitative factors used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, (2) the size of the loan portfolio, and (3) delinquent and nonaccrual loans. The decline in the provision for loan losses in the first half of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily related to the improvement in the qualitative factors used by the Company to determine the provision in 2022, as compared to the same period in the previous year. The improvement in these qualitative factors was due to observed improvements in economic

conditions during the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022 that followed the easing of the most restrictive phases of the COVID-19 pandemic that had existed in 2020 and the first half of 2021. The credit sensitive portfolios continue to be carefully monitored. Please refer to the asset quality section below for a further discussion of asset quality as it relates to the allowance for loan losses.

 

Return on average assets increased 13 basis points to 0.94% between the year-over-year six month periods as the increase in net income in the six month period ended June 30, 2022 (the numerator of the ratio) increased by a higher percentage than the rate at which average assets (the denominator of the ratio) grew during the period. Average assets increased due to increases in investment securities of $57.8 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $30.2 million in the six months ended June 30 2022, as compared with the same period in 2021. The increase in deposits was primarily the result of municipal deposit inflows and outflows due to seasonal timing of tax collections, an increase in brokered deposits and continued growth in business banking relationships. Average time deposits decreased $4.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same period in 2021.

 

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the Company's primary source of operating income for payment of operating expenses and providing for loan losses. It is the amount by which interest earned on loans, interest-earning deposits, and investment securities, exceeds the interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in net interest income and net interest margin result from the interaction between the volume and composition of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, related yields, and associated funding costs.

The following tables set forth information concerning average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the average yields and rates thereon for the periods indicated. Interest income and resultant yield information in the tables has not been adjusted for tax equivalency. Averages are computed on the daily average balance for each month in the period divided by the number of days in the period. Yields and amounts earned include loan fees of $487,000 and $1.0 million for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The decrease in loan fees for the year over year period is primarily due to the decrease in PPP loan fee income. Nonaccrual loans have been included in interest-earning assets for purposes of these calculations.

As indicated in the above table, net interest income, before provision for loan losses, decreased $238,000 or 2.3%, to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $10.2 million for the same prior year period. This decrease was due principally to a 34 basis points decrease in the average yield of interest-earning assets, offset by a decrease of 8 basis points on the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income was positively impacted by an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $73.9 million, or 6.17%. The positive effect of this increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets was offset by an increase of $46.6 million in interest-bearing liabilities. In total, net interest margin decreased 28 basis points to 3.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same prior year period. The following analysis should also be viewed in conjunction with the table below which reports the changes in net interest income attributable to rate and volume.

Interest and dividend income decreased $360,000, or 3.0%, to $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $12.1 million for the same three month period in 2021. This quarter-over-quarter decrease was due to a decline in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets of 34 basis points and was primarily driven by a 41 basis points decline in the average yield earned on loans in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same quarter in 2021.

 

The 41 basis points decline in average loan yield during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same three month period in 2021, was due to three factors, most notably a $468,000, or 22 basis points, reduction in deferred PPP

fee income recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same quarterly period in 2021. Secondarily, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Bank acquired via purchase approximately $62.4 million in consumer installment and commercial lines of credit loans whose yields range from 3.25-3.38%. These loans were intended to supplement passive investment income at yields that were more favorable to the Bank than those readily available in the securities market at the time of their acquisition. These transactions had the effect of reducing the overall average yield on the loan portfolio by approximately 7 basis points, on a quarter over quarter basis. Finally, the remainder of the loan yield reduction during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same three month period in 2021, was largely due to reductions in average loan yields resulting from contractual repricing and customer refinancing activities that took place in the low interest rate environment that existed throughout 2021 and into early 2022.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $122,000, or 6.6%, to $1.7 million when compared to the same prior year period due primarily to a decrease in interest expense on time deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 8 basis points between the two periods due primarily to a decrease in the average cost of time deposits, offset by an increase of $67.1 million in the average balance of interest bearing deposits. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $134,000, or 44.8%, to $165,000 due primarily to a $17.5 million decrease in the average balance of borrowings, combined with a 42 basis points decrease as long term, higher rate borrowings matured during the period and were replaced with lower-cost overnight borrowings. This decrease was offset by an 81 basis points increase in the average rate paid on subordinated debt for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period.

 

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $19.4 million, compared to $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The primary driver of the increase in net interest income was a $989,000 or 23.4%, decrease in interest expense to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease was partially offset by a $238,000, or 23 basis points, year-over-year decline in loan income in the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to same six month period in 2021. This increase in net interest income was also due to a 22 basis points decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, offset by a decrease of 22 basis points on the average yield of interest-earnings assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $55.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $1.3 billion from $1.2 billion for the same prior year period while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to same prior year period. The net interest margin percentage decreased from 3.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 3.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Interest and dividend income decreased $320,000, or 1.4%, to $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $23.0 million for the same six month period in 2021 primarily as a result of a decrease in average loan yield. The 23 basis points decline in average loan yield during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same six month period in 2021, was due to a variety of factors, most notably a $600,000, or 14 basis points, reduction in deferred PPP fee income recognized in the first six months of 2022 as compared to the same six month period in the previous year. The majority of the remainder of the average loan yield reduction during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same six month period in 2021, was largely due to reductions in average loan yields resulting from contractual repricing and customer refinancing activities that took place in the low interest rate environment that existed throughout 2021 and into early 2022.

 

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $989,000, or 23.4%, to $3.2 million as compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense was due principally to a 22 basis points decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 0.65%, partially offset by a $30.2 million increase in the average balance of these liabilities. Interest expense on deposits decreased $572,000 and was primarily due to a decrease of $679,000 in interest expense on time deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits, which include brokered deposits, increased $56.1 million between the year-over-year six month periods. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 22 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same six month period in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a 35 basis points decrease in the average rate paid on time deposits, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same time period in 2021. The decrease in the average rates paid on those deposits reflected the general decline in market interest rates that occurred in last nine months of 2021 when many of the Bank's deposit liabilities were originated or acquired through brokers. Therefore, average deposit rates were lower in the six months ended June 30, 2022 than they were in the same six month period of 2021 due to time lags in the repricing of those deposits in 2022, despite the fact that general market rates of interest have increased significantly in the first half of

2022. The Bank's management continues to monitor internal deposit activity and competitive market rates for deposits in an effort to effectively manage future deposit levels and the cost of deposits in the current interest rate environment. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $294,000, or 48 basis points, as higher rate advances matured and were replaced with lower-cost overnight borrowings, combined with a $19.5 million decrease in the average balance of borrowings.

 

Rate/Volume Analysis

Net interest income can also be analyzed in terms of the impact of changing interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in the volume or amount of these assets and liabilities. The following table represents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to: (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) total increase or decrease. Changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated ratably. Tax-exempt securities have not been adjusted for tax equivalency. Please refer to the PPP table in the previous section for information on PPP loans and the impact on loan income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Provision for Loan Losses

We establish a provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations, at a level management believes is appropriate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events change. The provision for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level.

Management extensively reviews recent trends in historical losses, qualitative factors and specific reserve needs on loans individually evaluated for impairment in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We recorded $161,000 in provision for loan losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $2.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. The Company recorded $59,000 in provision for loan losses for the three month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $929,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2021. The provisioning for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 reflects management’s determination of additions to reserves

considering loan mix changes, concentrations of loans in certain business sectors, factors related to loan quality metrics, and COVID-19 related economic impact. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same periods in 2021, was primarily related to the improvement in the qualitative factors used by the Company to determine the provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the previous year’s same periods. The improvement in these qualitative factors was due to observed improvements in economic conditions during 2022 that followed the easing of the most restrictive phases of the COVID-19 pandemic that had existed in 2021. The Company’s credit-sensitive portfolios continue to be carefully monitored.

The Company measures delinquency based on the amount of past due loans as a percentage of total loans. The ratio of delinquent loans to total loans decreased to 1.89% at June 30, 2022 as compared to 2.14% at December 31, 2021. Delinquent loans (numerator) decreased $1.5 million while total loan balances (denominator) decreased $33.6 million at June 30, 2022, as compared to December 31, 2021. The decrease in past due loans was primarily driven by a decrease of $3.0 million in loans delinquent 60-89 days and a $1.8 million decrease in loans delinquent 30-59 days past due, partially offset by a $3.3 million increase in loans delinquent 90 days and over at June 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021.

 

At June 30, 2022, there were $16.4 million in loans past due including $3.5 million in loans 30-59 days past due, $1.6 million in loans 60-89 days past due and $11.3 million in loans 90 or more days past due. At December 31, 2021, there were $17.9 million in loans past due including $5.2 million in loans 30-59 days past due, $4.6 million in loans 60-89 days past due and $8.0 million in loans 90 or more days past due.

Noninterest Income

The Company's noninterest income is primarily comprised of fees on deposit account balances and transactions, loan servicing, commissions, including insurance agency commissions, and net gains on sales of securities, loans, and foreclosed real estate.

Second quarter 2022 noninterest income was $1.3 million, a decrease of $138,000, or 9.6%, compared to $1.4 million for the same three-month period in 2021. The decrease in noninterest income, as compared to the same quarter of the previous year was primarily due to (1) a loss on marketable equity securities in the 2022 second quarter of $29,000, compared to the net gain on marketable equity securities of $49,000 recorded in the second quarter of 2021, and (2) a decrease of $74,000 in service charges for overdraft, ATM fees and insufficient funds on deposit accounts in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021. In early 2022, the Bank reduced its fees schedules related to service charges on deposit accounts to meet the generally lower fee structures being offered within the Bank's competitive market area.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 noninterest income was $2.9 million, a decrease of $380,000, or 11.6%, compared to $3.3 million for the same six-month period in 2021. The decrease in noninterest income, as compared to the six-month period of the previous year, was primarily due to a $306,000 reduction in nonrecurring gains on the sale of securities, fixed assets, loans and foreclosed assets in 2022 and a $244,000 reduction in gains from marketable equity securities also in 2022.

- 61 -


 

These reductions were partially offset by increases in other charges, commission and fees, loan servicing fees, insurance agency revenue, and earnings on bank owned life insurance which increased $127,000, $85,000, $77,000 and $31,000, respectively. The net increase in these categories of noninterest income were in part due to the Company’s increased strategic focus on improving recurring noninterest income.

Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $7.1 million, an increase of $301,000, or 4.4%, compared to $6.8 million for the same three-month period in 2021. The increase was primarily a result of higher salaries and employee benefits expense of $284,000, or 8.1%. Partially offsetting the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was a $137,000, or 20.9%, reduction in data processing expenses, primarily the result of a reduction in ATM processing fees related to third-party vendor refunds obtained through contract renegotiation activities.

 

Total noninterest expense for the first six-month period of 2022 was $14.4 million, an increase of $917,000, or 6.8%, compared with $13.5 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily a result of higher salaries and employee benefits expense of $992,000, or 14.5%, and was primarily comprised of a $443,000, or 8.8% increase in salaries, a $361,000 reduction in salaries treated as deferred expenses, a $139,000 increase in employee benefits and a $49,000 net increase in all other salaries and employee benefit expenses.

 

The $443,000 increase in salaries was primarily due to increases in individual salaries, enacted early in 2022 and continuing through the year, as well as modest additions to staff headcount. The Company increased its salary structure where deemed appropriate in order to effectively respond to inflationary and competitive pressures within our marketplace to recruit and retain talent. The $361,000 reduction in deferred salaries was primarily due to the cessation of PPP loan originations in 2022 as compared to $36.4 million in PPP loan originations in the first half of 2021. The $139,000 increase in employee benefit expenses is consistent with increased staffing levels and salaries for 2022.

 

At June 30, 2022, the Bank serviced 506 residential mortgage loans in the aggregate amount of $51.6 million that have been sold on a non-recourse basis to FNMA. FNMA is the only unrelated third-party that has acquired loans originated by the Bank. On an infrequent basis, loans previously sold to FNMA that subsequently default may be found to have underwriting defects that place the loans out of compliance with the representations and warranties made by the Bank. This can occur at any time while the loan is outstanding. In such cases, the Bank is required to repurchase the defaulted loans from FNMA. Repurchase losses sustained by the Bank include all costs incurred by FNMA as part of the foreclosure process, including items such as delinquent property taxes and legal fees. No such claims against the Bank were made by FNMA in the six month periods ended in either June 30, 2022 or June 30, 2021. Management continues to monitor the underwriting standards applied to all residential mortgage loan originations and subsequent sales through its quality control processes and considers these occurrences and their related expenses to be isolated instances.

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense decreased $71,000 to $780,000, with an effective tax rate of 21.0%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $851,000 with an effective tax rate of 19.2%, for the same three month period in 2021. The reduction in income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same quarter in 2021, was primarily driven by the aforementioned decrease in the effective tax rate, partially offset by the increase in quarter-over-quarter pre-tax net income. The effective income tax rate decreased 1.1% to 21.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 22.1% for the same three month period in 2021. The decrease in the tax rate in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same quarter in 2021, was primarily related to an increase in tax exempt income derived from increased average balances invested in securities issued by state and political subdivisions. In addition, the Company increased its revenues subject to the application of New York State permanent differences, relative to its total revenues in 2022, thereby reducing the Company's state taxable income.

 

Income tax expense increased $101,000 to $1.5 million, with an effective tax rate of 21.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $1.4 million with an effective tax rate of 21.5%, for the same six month period in 2021. The increase in income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same six month period in 2021, was primarily driven by the year-over-year increase in pre-tax net income. The effective income tax rate increased 0.1% to 21.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 21.5% for the same six month period in 2021. The increase in the tax rate in the first six months of 2022 was primarily related to an increase in accruals for New York State related taxes and the timing of certain potential deductions related to New York State taxable income.

 

The Company’s tax liability is a function of the 21% statutory federal tax rate, the level of pretax income, the varying effects of New York State income taxes, and is partially reduced by tax-exempt income from specific types of investment securities and loans, bank owned life insurance, and, to a much lesser degree, the utilization of low income housing tax credits. Other variances from the federal statutory federal tax rate are due to the effects of transitional adjustments related to state income taxes. In addition, the tax effects of certain incentive stock option activity may reduce the Company’s effective tax rate on a sporadic basis.

 

Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per Voting share were $0.54 per share for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $0.50 per basic and diluted Voting share for the same quarter of 2021. Basic and diluted earnings per Series A Non-Voting share were $0.54 per share for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $0.51 per basic and diluted Series A Non-Voting share for the same quarter of 2021.

Basic and diluted earnings per Voting and Series A Non-Voting share were $1.03 for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $0.87 for the same prior year period. The increase in earnings per share between these two periods was due to the increase in net income between these two time periods. Further information on earnings per share can be found in Note 3 of this Form 10-Q.

Changes in Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets increased $77.9 million, or 6.1%, to $1.36 billion at June 30, 2022 as compared to $1.29 billion at December 31, 2021. This increase was due primarily to increases in loans and investment securities.

Loans totaled $866.3 million at June 30, 2022, an increase of $33.8 million compared to $832.5 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to increases of $32.0 million in commercial real estate loans and $15.8 million in commercial business loans.

Investment securities increased $33.1 million, or 9.3%, to $389.5 million at June 30, 2022, as compared to $356.4 million at December 31, 2021, due principally to purchases of securities during the first six months of 2022, that were partially offset by sales and redemptions of securities and unrealized losses in the portion of the investment portfolio characterized as available-for-sale as a result of the increase in market interest rates during the first half of 2022.

Liabilities

 

Total liabilities increased $80.4 million, or 6.8%, to $1.25 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $1.17 billion at December 31, 2021. Deposits increased $82.5 million, or 7.8%, to $1.14 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $1.06 billion at December 31, 2021. Interest-bearing deposits were the primary driver of growth between the comparable dates and totaled $945.0 million at June 30, 2022, an increase of $81.6 million, or 9.4% from the 2021 year end.

Borrowed funds balances from the FHLB-NY decreased $1.4 million, or 1.8%, to $75.7 million at June 30, 2022 from $77.1 million at December 31, 2021 as the Bank primarily used net incoming deposit cash flows to repay borrowings at their scheduled maturity dates.

 

Shareholders’ Equity

The Company’s shareholders’ equity, exclusive of the noncontrolling interest, decreased $2.6 million, or 2.3%, to $107.7 million at June 30, 2022, from $110.3 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease was principally due to an $8.1 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Partially offsetting this increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was an increase in retained earnings of $5.2 million, or 8.4%, to $66.1 million at June 30, 2022, from $60.9 million at December 31, 2021.

 

The $8.1 million tax-effected increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022, was primarily due to the decline in the fair value of the Company's available-for-sale investment securities portfolio during that period. The available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $190.0 million, had an aggregate fair value that exceeded its aggregate amortized historical cost by $579,000, or 0.30%, at December 31, 2021. The available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, with an aggregate amortized historical cost of $214.4 million, had an aggregate fair value that was less than its aggregate amortized historical cost by $11.4 million, or 5.32%, at June 30, 2022. The resultant $12.0 million total decline in the fair value of the available-for-sale investment portfolio's aggregate fair value relative to its aggregate amortized historical cost, in the six months ended June 30, 2022, was due to the significant increase in general interest rates that occurred in that period and did not represent any other-than-temporary impairment within the portfolio at June 30, 2022.

 

Capital

Capital adequacy is evaluated primarily by the use of ratios which measure capital against total assets, as well as against total assets that are weighted based on defined risk characteristics. The Company’s goal is to maintain a strong capital position, consistent with the risk profile of its banking operations. This strong capital position serves to support growth and expansion activities while at the same time exceeding regulatory standards. At June 30, 2022, the Bank met the regulatory definition of a “well-capitalized” institution, i.e. a leverage capital ratio exceeding 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio exceeding 8%, Tier 1 common equity exceeding 6.5%, and a total risk-based capital ratio exceeding 10%.

In addition to establishing the minimum regulatory capital requirements, the regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The buffer is separate from the capital ratios required under the Prompt Corrective Actions (“PCA”) standards. In order to avoid these restrictions, the capital conservation buffer effectively increases the minimum levels of the following capital to risk-weighted assets ratios: (1) Core Capital, (2) Total Capital and (3) Common Equity. At June 30, 2022, the Bank exceeded all regulatory required minimum capital ratios, including the capital buffer requirements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Regulation G, a rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), applies to certain SEC filings, including earnings releases, made by registered companies that contain “non-GAAP financial measures.” GAAP is generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Under Regulation G, companies making public disclosures containing non-GAAP financial measures must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure (if a comparable GAAP measure exists) and a statement of the Company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure as part of its financial disclosures. The SEC has exempted from the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. When these exempted measures are included in public disclosures, supplemental information is not required. Financial institutions like the Company and its subsidiary bank are subject to an array of bank regulatory capital measures that are financial in nature but are not based on GAAP. The Company follows industry practice in disclosing its financial condition under these various regulatory capital measures, including period-end regulatory capital ratios for its subsidiary bank, in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Company provides, below, an explanation of the calculations, as supplemental information, for non-GAAP measures included in the consolidated annual financial statements. In addition, the Company provides a reconciliation of its subsidiary bank’s disclosed regulatory capital measures, below.

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), and foreclosed real estate (‘‘FRE”). The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing interest when loan payment performance is deemed unsatisfactory and the loan is past due 90 days or more. There are no loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Loans are considered modified in a TDR when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company makes a concession(s) to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. These modifications may include, among others, an extension of the term of the loan, and granting a period when interest-only payments can be made, with the principal payments made over the remaining term of the loan or at maturity. TDRs are included in the above table

- 66 -


 

within the categories of nonaccrual loans or accruing TDRs. There were five TDR loans in nonaccrual status at June 30, 2022 totaling $1.7 million.

 

As indicated in the table above, nonperforming assets at June 30, 2022 were $11.9 million and were $3.6 million higher than the $8.3 million reported at December 31, 2021 and $4.1 million lower than the reported $16.0 million at June 30, 2021. The increase at June 30, 2022 was due primarily to an increase in commercial and commercial real estate loans of $2.2 million, primarily the result of the addition of a single commercial loan relationship in the amount of $2.6 million as well as a net increase in the balances of certain other smaller balance loan categories.

Fair values for commercial FRE are initially recorded based on market value evaluations by third parties, less costs to sell (“initial cost basis”). On a prospective basis, residential FRE assets will be initially recorded at the lower of the net amount of loan receivable or the real estate’s fair value less costs to sell. Any write-downs required when the related loan receivable is exchanged for the underlying real estate collateral at the time of transfer to FRE are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Values are derived from appraisals, similar to impaired loans, of underlying collateral or discounted cash flow analysis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are updated periodically and assets are marked to current fair value, not to exceed the initial cost basis for the FRE property.

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the date of the statement of condition. The allowance for loan losses was $13.1 million and $12.9 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased 4 basis points to 1.51% at June 30, 2022 from 1.55% at December 31, 2021. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses based on quantitative and qualitative factors and has determined that the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb the losses in the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2022.

The Company considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based upon the fair value of the collateral, with a portion of the impaired loans measured based upon the present value of future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate. A specific reserve is established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of the majority of the Company’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. For loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals or broker price opinions. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the Bank will reevaluate the collateral which secures the loan. For real estate, the Company will obtain a new appraisal or broker’s opinion whichever is considered to provide the most accurate value in the event of sale. An evaluation of equipment held as collateral will be obtained from a firm able to provide such an evaluation. Collateral will be inspected not less than annually for all impaired loans and will be reevaluated not less than every two years. Appraised values and broker opinion values are discounted due to the market’s perception of a reduced price of Bank-owned property and the Bank’s desire to sell the property more quickly to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.

 

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $10.8 million and $11.4 million in loans, respectively, which were deemed to be impaired, having established specific reserves of $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, on these loans. The $600,000 decrease in impaired loans between these two dates was primarily driven by a decrease in impaired commercial real estate loans.

 

Management has identified potential credit problems which may result in the borrowers not being able to comply with the current loan repayment terms and which may result in those loans being included in future impaired loan reporting. Potential problem loans totaled $43.5 million as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of $192,000, or 0.4%, as compared to $43.7 million at December 31, 2021. These loans have been internally classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful, yet are not currently considered impaired.

Appraisals are obtained at the time a real estate secured loan is originated. For commercial real estate held as collateral, the property is inspected every two years.

- 67 -


 

In the normal course of business, the Bank sells residential mortgage loans and has infrequently sold participation interests in commercial loans. As is typical in the industry, the Bank makes certain representations and warranties to the buyers of these loans or loan participations. The Bank maintains a quality control program for closed loans and considers the risks and uncertainties associated with potential repurchase requirements to be minimal.

The future performance of the Company’s loan portfolios with respect to credit losses will be highly dependent upon the course and duration, both nationally and within the Company’s market area, of the public health and economic factors related to the pandemic, as well as the concentrations in the Company’s loan portfolio. Concentrations of loans within a portfolio that are made to a single borrower, to a related group of borrowers, or to a limited number of industries, are generally considered to be additional risk factors in estimating future credit losses. Therefore, the Company monitors all of its credit relationships to ensure that the total loan amounts extended to one borrower, or to a related group of borrowers, does not exceed the maximum permissible levels defined by applicable regulation or the Company’s generally more restrictive internal policy limits.

 

Liquidity

Liquidity management involves the Company’s ability to generate cash or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, and otherwise operate the Company on an ongoing basis. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowed funds, amortization and prepayment of loans and maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company manages the pricing of deposits to maintain a desired deposit composition and balance. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

The Company's liquidity has been enhanced by its ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”), whose competitive advance programs and lines of credit provide the Company with a safe, reliable, and convenient source of funds. A significant decrease in deposits in the future could result in the Company having to seek other sources of funds for liquidity purposes. Such sources could include, but are not limited to, additional borrowings, brokered deposits, negotiated time deposits, the sale of "available-for-sale" investment securities, the sale of securitized loans, or the sale of whole loans. Such actions could result in higher interest expense and/or losses on the sale of securities or loans.

Through the first six months of 2022, as indicated in the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company reported net cash flow from operating activities of $7.0 million and net cash outflow of $86.2 million related to investing activities. The net cash outflow from investing activities primarily was due to a $50.7 million increase in net investment activity, a $34.4 million increase in net loan activity and a $1.1 million net increase in all other investing activities in aggregate. The Company reported net cash flows from financing activities of $80.3 million generated principally by increased customer and brokered deposit balances of $82.5 million, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in net borrowings, and an aggregate decrease in net cash of $802,000 from all other financing sources, including dividends paid to common voting and non-voting shareholders and warrants of $977,000.

The Company has a number of existing credit facilities available to it. At June 30, 2022, total credit available to the Company under the existing lines of credit was approximately $139.2 million at FHLBNY, the Federal Reserve Bank, and two other correspondent banks. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $75.7 million of the available lines of credit utilized on its existing lines of credit with $63.5 million available.

 

The Asset Liability Management Committee of the Company is responsible for implementing the policies and guidelines for the maintenance of prudent levels of liquidity. As of June 30, 2022, management reported to the Board of Directors that the Company is in compliance with its liquidity policy guidelines.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company is also a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters

of credit. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $244.9 million in outstanding commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.

 

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information relating to this item.

 

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer), management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” under 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 our management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

 

There were no changes made in our internal controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
