Note 3.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be affected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. This Update is effective for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has contracted with a third-party software vendor to assist with the development of our approach in determining the calculations under the new guidance. The Company is currently refining the expected credit losses calculation along with process documentation and data validation testing. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of January 1, 2023. The Company recognizes that this one-time adjustment may be material but currently the impact to the financial statements is unknown.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Update is effective for smaller reporting companies and all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Derivatives, and Hedging (Topic 815); and Financial Instruments (Topic 825), which affects a variety of topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2019-04 makes

clarifying amendments to certain financial instrument standards. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates for the amendments related to ASU 2016-13 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments related to ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2017-12 as of April 25, 2019, the effective dates for the amendments to Topic 815 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2017-12. For entities that have adopted ASU 2017-12 as of April 25, 2019, the effective date is as of the beginning of the first annual period beginning after April 25, 2019. The amendments related to ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASUs.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the new credit losses standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within the scope of the new credit losses standard and eligible for applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the financial asset would be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity adopted ASU 2016-13. Changes in fair value of that financial asset would subsequently be reported in current earnings. For entities that have not yet adopted the credit losses standard, the ASU is effective when they implement the credit losses standard. For entities that already have adopted the credit losses standard, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt ASU 2016-13.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, to clarify its new credit impairment guidance in ASC 326, based on implementation issues raised by stakeholders. This Update clarified, among other things, that expected recoveries are to be included in the allowance for credit losses for these financial assets; an accounting policy election can be made to adjust the effective interest rate for existing troubled debt restructurings based on the prepayment assumptions instead of the prepayment assumptions applicable immediately prior to the restructuring event; and extends the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from all additional relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13 as of November 26, 2019, the effective dates for ASU 2019-11 are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASUs.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. This ASU was issued to improve and clarify various financial instruments topics, including the current expected credit losses (CECL) standard issued in 2016. The ASU includes seven issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP; they are intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply and to eliminate inconsistencies, and they are narrow in scope and are not expected to significantly change practice for most entities. Among its provisions, the ASU clarifies that all entities, other than public business entities that elected the fair value option, are required to provide certain fair value disclosures under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, in both interim and annual financial statements. It also clarifies that the contractual term of a net investment in a lease under Topic 842 should be the contractual term used to measure expected credit losses under Topic 326. Amendments related to ASU 2019-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted before an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-01. Amendments related to ASU 2016-13 for entities that have not yet adopted that guidance are effective upon adoption of the amendments in ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is not permitted before an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-13. Amendments related to ASU 2016-13 for entities that have adopted that guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. Other amendments are effective upon issuance of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, March 2020, to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls “reference rate reform” if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities upon

issuance through December 31, 2022. It is too early to predict whether a new rate index replacement and the adoption of the ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. This ASU removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. This ASU requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements, and information about events, conditions, and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity’s future cash flows related to those instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities that are not smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance may be early adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-11, Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944), which was made in consideration of the implications of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on an insurance entity’s ability to effectively implement the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-12, Financial Services— Insurance: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts (LDTI). The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of LDTI for all entities by one year, as (1) for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer and are not SRCs, LDTI is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years; and (2) for all other entities, LDTI is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842), which amends ASC 842 so that lessors are no longer required to recognize a selling loss upon commencement of a lease with variable lease payments that, prior to the amendments, would have been classified as a sales-type or direct financing lease. Furthermore, a lessor must classify as an operating lease any lease that would otherwise be classified as a sales-type or direct financing lease and that would result in the recognition of a selling loss at lease commencement, provided that the lease includes variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate. For public business entities and certain not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans that have adopted ASC 842, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities that have adopted ASC 842, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. All entities that have adopted ASC 842 are permitted to early adopt the amendments in ASU 2021-05. The amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective as of the same date as the guidance in ASC 842 for entities that have not adopted ASC 842. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and Vintage Disclosures. The guidance amends ASC 326 to eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructuring activities by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying TDR recognition and measurement guidance, creditors will determine whether a modification results in a new loan or continuation of existing loan. These amendments are intended to enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the amendments to ASC 326 require that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination within the vintage disclosures, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The guidance is only for entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption using prospective application, including adoption in an interim period where the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This amendment clarifies the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. It also introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after
12

December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments will be applied prospectively, with any adjustments from the adoption of the amendments recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 4. Per Share Data

There are no convertible securities which would affect the denominator in calculating basic and dilutive earnings per share. There were a total of 919,250 stock options, with an average exercise price of $25.36, outstanding on June 30, 2022. These options were excluded, on a weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the period due to the average market price of common shares of $23.78 being less than the exercise price of the options issued. There were a total of 1,075,775 stock options, with an average exercise price of $27.31 that were excluded, on a weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the period due to the average market price of common shares of $24.43 being less than the strike price for the period ending June 30, 2021.

At June 30, 2022, there were a total of 209 securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and 30 individual securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater.

The Company reviews its position quarterly and has determined that, at June 30, 2022, the declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell, and does not believe it will be required to sell, these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity.  The Company has concluded that the unrealized losses disclosed above are not other than temporary but are the result of interest rate changes, sector credit ratings changes, or company-specific ratings changes that are not expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2022, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 6. Loans

Management segments the Banks' loan portfolio to a level that enables risk and performance monitoring according to similar risk characteristics.  Loans are segmented based on the underlying collateral characteristics.  Categories include commercial, financial, and agricultural, real estate, and installment loans.  Real estate loans are further segmented into three categories: residential, commercial, and construction, while installment loans are classified as either consumer automobile loans or other installment loans.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Banks will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The Banks individually evaluate such loans for impairment and do not aggregate loans by major risk classifications.  The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “non-accrual loans,” although the two categories overlap.  The Banks may choose to place a loan on non-accrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value.  The amount of impairment for these types of loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loan.  When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

Management evaluates individual loans in all of the commercial segments for possible impairment if the loan is greater than $100,000 and if the loan is either on non-accrual status or has a risk rating of substandard or worse.  Management may also elect to measure an individual loans of less than $100,000 for impairment on a case-by-case basis.

Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and consumer loans are measured for impairment collectively with the exception of loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are

Table of Contents

defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower including the length of the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Interest income for impaired loans is recorded consistent to the Banks' policy.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties.  These concessions typically result from loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions.  Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

There were no loan modifications considered to be TDRs completed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. There were three and five loan modifications considered TDRs completed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows:

There was no loan modification considered to be a TDR made during the twelve months prior to June 30, 2022 that defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2022. There was one loan modification considered to be a TDR made during the twelve months previous to June 30, 2021 that defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The defaulted loan type and recorded investments at June 30, 2021 were as follows: one residential real estate loan with a recorded investment of $687,000.

Troubled debt restructurings amounted to $8,692,000 and $9,410,000 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The amount of foreclosed residential real estate held at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, totaled $127,000 and $339,000, respectively. Consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, totaled $165,000 and $193,000, respectively.

The Company began offering short-term loan modifications to provide relief to borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. The CARES Act, along with a joint agency statement issued by federal and state banking agencies, provides that short-term modifications made in a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to loans that are current at the time the modification program is implemented do not need to be accounted for as TDRs. Loan modifications and payment deferrals have been at historically high levels as the impact of the pandemic continues. As of June 30, 2022, the loan modification/deferral program in place has generated deferrals of up to 180 days that have been granted on 1,372 loans with no loan remaining in its deferral period. As of June 30, 2021, the loan modification/deferral program in place had generated deferrals of up to 180 days that were granted on 1,365 loans with 20 loans remaining in their deferral period with an aggregate outstanding balance of $7,931,000.These loan modifications met applicable requirements to not be considered TDRs. The Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Non-profits and Venues Act (the “Economic Aid Act”) passed in December 2020 extended the CARES Act provisions permitting financial institutions to suspend TDR assessment and reporting requirements under generally accepted accounting principles until the earlier of 60 days after the date that the President terminates the COVID-19 national emergency or January 1, 2022.

Internal Risk Ratings

Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The special mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a substandard classification. Loans in the substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are evaluated for substandard classification.  Loans in the doubtful category exhibit the same weaknesses found in the substandard loans; however, the weaknesses are more pronounced.  Such loans are static and collection in full is improbable.  However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt.  Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charge-off is imminent.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Banks have a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the pass category unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  An external semi-annual loan review of large commercial relationships is performed, as well as a sample of smaller transactions. The 2022 loan review will evaluate 55% of the Banks' average outstanding commercial portfolio which can consist of outstanding loans, commercial real estate mortgages and outstanding

commitments. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Loan Losses

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio.  The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated future loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.

The Banks' methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (previously discussed) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.  The total of the two components represents the Banks' ALL.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate.  Allowances are segmented based on collateral characteristics previously disclosed, and consistent with credit quality monitoring.  Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are grouped into two classes for evaluation.  A general allowance is determined for “Pass” rated credits, while a separate pool allowance is provided for “Criticized” rated credits that are not individually evaluated for impairment.

For the general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio.  These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative factors.  A historical charge-off factor is calculated utilizing a twelve quarter moving average.  However, management may adjust the moving average time frame by up to four quarters to adjust for variances in the economic cycle. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience.  The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources are: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.

Loans in the criticized pools, which possess certain qualities or characteristics that may lead to collection and loss issues, are closely monitored by management and subject to additional qualitative factors.  Management also monitors industry loss factors by loan segment for applicable adjustments to actual loss experience.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL.  When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

The shift in allocation and the decrease in the loan provision is primarily due to changes in the credit metrics within the loan portfolio and decreasing economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic including supply chain disruptions.

The Company grants commercial, industrial, residential, and installment loans to customers primarily throughout north-east and central Pennsylvania. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economic conditions within this region.

The Company has a concentration of the following to gross loans at June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Employer Contributions

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, that it does not expect to contribute to its defined benefit plan in 2022.  As of June 30, 2022, there were no contributions made to the pension plan.

Note 8.  Stock Purchase Plans

The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Plan”).  The Plan is intended to encourage employee participation in the ownership and economic progress of the Company.  The Plan allows for up to 1,500,000 shares to be purchased by employees.  The purchase price of the shares is 95% of market value with an employee eligible to purchase up to the lesser of 15% of base compensation or $12,000 in market value annually.  During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were 1,903 and 1,984 shares issued under the Plan, respectively, for total proceeds of $44,000 and $45,000.

The Company maintains the 2020 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan ("Director Plan"). Under this Director Plan, non-employee directors who have not attained specified stock ownership levels are required to receive a portion of their annual compensation in the form of common stock (currently 50%of total annual compensation), with the ability to elect to receive up to 100% of annual compensation in the form of common stock by making a written election prior to the calendar year to which the compensation relates. The Director Plan allows for up to 100,000 shares to be issued. As of June 30 2022, the Company has issued a total of 28,700 shares of common stock to non-employee directors under the Director Plan in lieu of otherwise payable cash compensation with 6,990 and 7,067 shares issued during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Note 9.  Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments are primarily comprised of commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and credit exposure from the sale of assets with recourse.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  The Company may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
(In Thousands)June 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Commitments to extend credit$211,827 $184,364 
Standby letters of credit9,942 7,027 
Credit exposure from the sale of assets with recourse10,339 10,248 
$232,108 $201,639 

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, on an extension of credit is based on management’s credit assessment of the counterparty.

Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  These instruments are issued primarily to support bid or performance related contracts.  The coverage period for these instruments is typically a one year period with an annual renewal option subject to prior approval by management.  Fees earned from the issuance of these letters are recognized upon expiration of the coverage period.  For secured letters of credit, the collateral is typically Bank deposit instruments or customer business assets.

Note 10.  Fair Value Measurements

The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.
Level I: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.
   
Level II: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.
   
Level III: Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

The following table presents the assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s impaired loans using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique include appraisal adjustments, which are adjustments to appraisals by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses.  The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s other real estate owned are the same inputs used to value impaired loans using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique. 


Note 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company is required to disclose fair values for its financial instruments.  Fair values are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intention to hold most of its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the fair values.

Fair values have been determined by the Company using historical data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments.  The Company’s fair values are set forth below for the Company’s other financial instruments.

As certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and many other operational elements of the Company, are not considered financial instruments but have value, this fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full market value of the Company.

Note 12.  Stock Options

In 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan which replaced the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan that did not have any remaining shares available for issuance. The plans are designed to help the Company attract, retain, and motivate employees and non-employee directors. Incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other equity-based awards may be granted as part of the plan.

As of January 1, 2022, the Company had a total of 1,034,525 stock options outstanding. During the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company issued 234,000 stock options with a strike price of $24.10 to a group of employees. The options granted in 2022 all expire ten years from the grant date. Of the 234,000 grants awarded in 2022, 156,000 of the options vest in three years while the 78,000 remaining options vest in five years. During the period ended June 30, 2022, a voluntary cash settlement of 346,725 outstanding stock options with an average strike price of $30.07 was initiated. The repurchase price per outstanding share ranged from $1.4770 to $3.3685 as determined by the utilization of a Black Scholes valuation methodology.

The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straightline basis over the options’ vesting periods while ensuring that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at least equals the value of the vested portion of the award at that date.

The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following is a summary of the assumptions used in this model for stock options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

Compensation expense for stock options is recognized using the fair value when the stock options are granted and is amortized over the options' vesting period. Compensation expense related to stock options was $768,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $527,000 for the same period of 2021. The expense level for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was impacted by the voluntary cash settlement of 346,725 stock options which resulted in $183,000 in additional compensation expense and a reduction in additional paid-in capital of $1,074,000. As of June 30, 2022, a total of 108,300 stock options were exercisable and the weighted average years to expiration of these options was 7.21 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost for non-vested options was $2,088,000 and will be recognized over their weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.35 years.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Summary Results

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $4,231,000 and $7,663,000 compared to $3,588,000 and $7,029,000 for the same periods of 2021. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2021 were impacted by an increase in after-tax securities losses of $154,000 (from a gain of $111,000 to a loss of $43,000) for the three month period and an increase in after-tax securities losses of $296,000 (from a gain of $205,000 to a loss of $91,000) for the six month period. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were impacted by additional compensation expense of $183,000 (after-tax $145,000) associated with the voluntary cash settlement of 346,725 outstanding stock options. In addition, an after-tax loss of $201,000 related to a branch closure negatively impacted results for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $0.60 and $1.08. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $0.51 and $1.00. Annualized return on average assets was 0.88% for three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 0.76% for the corresponding period of 2021. Annualized return on average assets was 0.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 0.75% for the corresponding period of 2021. Annualized return on average equity was 10.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 8.70% for the corresponding period of 2021. Annualized return on average equity was 9.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 8.69% for the corresponding period of 2021. Net income from core operations (“core earnings”), which is a non-generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measure of net income excluding net securities gains or losses, was $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $3.5 million for the same period of 2021. Core earnings were $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $6.8 million for the same period of 2021. Core earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $0.61 basic and diluted, compared to $0.49 basic and diluted core earnings per share for the same period of 2021. Core earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $1.10 basic and diluted, compared to $0.97 basic and diluted for the same period of 2021.

Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from core operations in its analysis of the Company’s performance.  This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income by excluding significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature.  Because certain of these items and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes the presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company’s core businesses.  For purposes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, net income from core operations means net income adjusted to exclude after-tax net securities gains or losses. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $778,000 and $458,000 compared to the same periods of 2021. The increase in loan portfolio income was due to a increase in the average loan portfolio balance offset partially by a decrease in average rate earned on the portfolio.  Investment securities income has been impacted by a decrease in the average rate earned on the portfolio as higher yielding legacy investments matured. The size of the investment portfolio began to increase during the three months ended June 30, 2022 which offset the decrease in average rate earned. The increase in dividend and other interest income is due to the increase in interest earned on federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits.

Interest and dividend income composition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $974,000 and $2,077,000 compared to the same periods of 2021. Interest-bearing deposit rates continued to remain at low levels due to the continued economic impact of COVID-19 and level of excess balance sheet liquidity. The decrease in deposit rates was offset in part by an increase in average interest-bearing demand deposits. Growth in the deposit portfolio has allowed for a decrease in average long-term borrowings resulting in a decrease in long-term borrowing interest expense.

Interest expense composition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was 3.12% and 3.03%, compared to 2.78% and 2.83% for the corresponding periods of 2021. The increase in the net interest margin for the three and six month periods was driven by a decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 29 and 33 basis points ("bps") as rates paid decreased throughout 2021 and remained at historically low levels during 2022. Leading the decline in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits were decreases of 98 and 95 bps in the rate paid on time deposits as time deposits issued prior to the COVID-19 pandemic matured. The increase in the earning asset yield was driven by an increase in yield on federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits due to the rate increases enacted by the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC"). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 there was an increase in rate on federal funds sold of 57 and 30 bps, respectively, while the rate on interest bearing deposits increased 57 and 26 bps.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s quarterly review of the loan portfolio.  The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served.  An external independent loan review is also performed annually for the Banks.  Management remains committed to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.

The allowance for loan losses is determined by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance has been determined.  Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  In addition, management considers industry standards and trends with respect to non-performing loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending segments.

Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 2022, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  A downturn in the local economy, increased unemployment, and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, loan loss provisions, and reductions in income.  Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Banks' loan loss allowance.  The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

When determining the appropriate allowance level, management has attributed the allowance for loan losses to various portfolio segments; however, the allowance is available for the entire portfolio as needed.

The allowance for loan losses increased from $14,176,000 at December 31, 2021 to $14,393,000 at June 30, 2022. The increase in allowance was due to growth in the loan portfolio. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.97% and 1.02%, respectively.

Table of Contents

The provision for loan losses totaled $330,000 and $480,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and the amounts for the corresponding 2021 periods were $350,000 and $865,000. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three months and six months ended June 30 2022 compared to the corresponding 2021 periods was the result of economic improvement along with the 2021 period provision being affected by the continued economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19 and supply chain shortages.

Nonperforming loans decreased to $5,100,000 at June 30, 2022 from $6,250,000 at December 31, 2021. The majority of nonperforming loans involve loans that are either in a secured position and have sureties with a strong underlying financial position or have a specific allocation for any impairment recorded within the allowance for loan losses. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.34% and 0.45% at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 282.22% and 226.82% at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Internal loan review and analysis coupled with changes in the loan portfolio composition resulted in a provision for loan losses of $330,000 and $480,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 decreased $772,000 and $974,000. Excluding net securities gains, non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $578,000 and $600,000 compared to the same periods in 2021. Gain on sale of loans decreased as the volume of loan sales has declined and the product mix has caused the Company to increasingly act in a broker capacity with the fee income from broker activity included in loan broker commissions. Service charges increased for the three and six month periods primarily due to an increase in overdraft fees. Brokerage commissions have fluctuated due to changes in the product mix and reduced consumer activity. The decrease in debit card fees is a result of an decrease in debit card usage.

Non-interest income composition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense increased $172,000 and $1,228,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is attributable to the current employment environment, employee retention efforts, routine annual wage increases, and the voluntary cash settlement of 346,725 outstanding stock options resulting in $183,000 of compensation expense. Furniture and equipment expenses in addition to occupancy expenses for the six month period have decreased as maintenance costs and the level of depreciation have decreased. Software amortization increased due to increased software licensing costs. Other expense increased for the six month period primarily from a write down on leasehold improvements of $254,000 related to a branch closure.

Investments

The fair value of the investment debt securities portfolio at June 30, 2022 increased $26,028,000 since December 31, 2021, while the amortized cost of the portfolio increased $36,908,000.  The increase in the investment portfolio amortized value occurred within the state and political segment of the portfolio. The mortgage-backed segment was reduced as bonds prepaid due to the low interest rate environment. The other debt segment of the investment portfolio is primarily corporate bonds and this segment remained flat. The municipal segment was increased as primarily bonds with a final maturity of one to five years have been purchased. The portfolio continues to be actively managed in order to reduce interest rate and market risk. The unrealized losses within the debt securities portfolio are the result of market activity, not credit issues/ratings, as approximately 90.47% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is currently rated A or higher by either S&P or Moody’s.

The Company considers various factors, which include examples from applicable accounting guidance, when analyzing the available for sale portfolio for possible other than temporary impairment.  The Company primarily considers the following factors in its analysis: length of time and severity of the fair value being less than carrying value; reduction of dividend paid (equities); continued payment of dividend/interest, credit rating, and financial condition of an issuer; intent and ability to hold until anticipated recovery (which may be maturity); and general outlook for the economy, specific industry, and entity in question.

The bond portion of the portfolio review is conducted with emphases on several factors.  Continued payment of principal and interest is given primary importance with credit rating and financial condition of the issuer following as the next most important.  Credit ratings were reviewed with the ratings of the bonds being satisfactory.  Bonds that were not currently rated were discussed with a third party and/or underwent an internal financial review. Each bond is reviewed to determine whether it is a general obligation bond, which is backed by the credit and taxing power of the issuing jurisdiction, or a revenue bond, which is only payable from specified revenues.  Based on the review undertaken by the Company, the Company determined that the decline in value of the various bond holdings were temporary and were the result of the general market downturns and interest rate/yield curve changes, not credit issues.  The fact that almost all of such bonds are general obligation bonds further solidified the Company’s determination that the decline in the value of these bond holdings is temporary.

The fair value of the equity portfolio continues to fluctuate as the economic and political environment continues to impact stock pricing. The amortized cost of the available for sale equity securities portfolio has remained flat at $1,350,000 for June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 while the fair value decreased $102,000 over the same time period.

Financing Activities

Deposits

Total deposits decreased $31,736,000 from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Time deposits decreased $51,688,000 over this period to a total of $153,679,000 as excess on balance sheet liquidity has allowed for a decrease in the reliance on higher rate time deposit funding. An increase in core deposits (deposits less time deposits) of $19,952,000 has provided relationship driven funding for the loan and investment portfolios. Emphasis during 2021 and through 2022 has been on increasing the utilization of electronic (internet and mobile) deposit banking among our customers. Utilization of internet and mobile banking has increased due to these efforts coupled with a change in consumer behavior due to the business and travel restrictions that were temporarily in effect due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Capital

The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and quality of the Company’s resources and regulatory guidelines.  Management seeks to maintain a level of capital sufficient to support existing assets and anticipated asset growth, maintain favorable access to capital markets, and preserve high quality credit ratings.

Banking institutions are generally required to comply with risk-based capital guidelines set by bank regulatory agencies.  The risk-based capital rules are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.  Specifically, each is required to maintain certain minimum dollar amounts and ratios of common equity tier I risk-based, tier I risk-based, total risk-based, and tier I leverage capital. In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act ("FDICIA") established five capital categories for banks ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized” for purposes of the FDIC's prompt corrective action rules. To be classified as “well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action rules, common equity tier I risk-based, tier I risked-based, total risk-based, and tier I leverage capital ratios must be at least 6.5%, 8%, 10%, and 5%, respectively.

Under existing capital rules, the minimum capital to risk-adjusted assets requirements for banking organizations are a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% (6.5% to be considered “well capitalized”), a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% (8.0% to be considered “well capitalized”), and total capital ratio of 8.0% (10.0% to be considered “well capitalized”).  Under existing capital rules, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions (including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers), a banking organization must hold a capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets.

Liquidity; Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

The asset/liability committee addresses the liquidity needs of the Company to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet credit demands and deposit withdrawals as well as to the placement of available funds in the investment portfolio.  In assessing liquidity requirements, equal consideration is given to the current position as well as the future outlook.

The following liquidity measures are monitored for compliance and were within the limits cited at June 30, 2022:

1.            Net Loans to Total Assets, 85% maximum
2.              Net Loans to Total Deposits, 100% maximum
3.              Cumulative 90 day Maturity GAP %, +/- 15% maximum
4.              Cumulative 1 Year Maturity GAP %, +/- 20% maximum

Fundamental objectives of the Company’s asset/liability management process are to maintain adequate liquidity while minimizing interest rate risk. The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Company with the ability to meet its financial obligations to depositors, loan customers, and shareholders. Additionally, it provides funds for normal operating expenditures and business opportunities as they arise.  The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to increase net interest income by managing interest sensitive assets and liabilities in such a way that they can be repriced in response to changes in market interest rates.

The Banks, like other financial institutions, must have sufficient funds available to meet liquidity needs for deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and originations, and expenses. In order to control cash flow, the Banks estimate future cash flows from deposits, loan payments, and investment security payments. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, FHLB borrowings, and brokered deposits. Management believes the Banks have adequate resources to meet their normal funding requirements.

Management monitors the Company’s liquidity on both a long and short-term basis, thereby providing management necessary information to react to current balance sheet trends. Cash flow needs are assessed and sources of funds are determined. Funding strategies consider both customer needs and economical cost. Both short and long-term funding needs are addressed by maturities and sales of available for sale and trading investment securities, loan repayments and maturities, and liquidating

money market investments such as federal funds sold. The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit, provides core funding to satisfy depositor, borrower, and creditor needs.

Management monitors and determines the desirable level of liquidity. Consideration is given to loan demand, investment opportunities, deposit pricing and growth potential, as well as the current cost of borrowing funds. The Company has a total current maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $682,627,000. In addition to this credit arrangement, the Company has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $100,000,000. Management believes it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding needs. FHLB borrowings totaled $105,000,000 as of June 30, 2022.

Interest rate sensitivity, which is closely related to liquidity management, is a function of the repricing characteristics of the Company’s portfolio of assets and liabilities. Asset/liability management strives to match maturities and rates between loan and investment security assets with the deposit liabilities and borrowings that fund them. Successful asset/liability management results in a balance sheet structure which can cope effectively with market rate fluctuations. The matching process segments both assets and liabilities into future time periods (usually 12 months, or less) based upon when repricing can be effected. Repriceable assets are subtracted from repriceable liabilities for a specific time period to determine the “gap”, or difference. Once known, the gap is managed based on predictions about future market interest rates. Intentional mismatching, or gapping, can enhance net interest income if market rates move as predicted.  However, if market rates behave in a manner contrary to predictions, net interest income will suffer. Gaps, therefore, contain an element of risk and must be prudently managed. In addition to gap management, the Company has an asset/liability management policy which incorporates a market value at risk calculation which is used to determine the effects of interest rate movements on shareholders’ equity and a simulation analysis to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company currently maintains a gap position of being asset sensitive.  The Company has strategically taken this position as it has decreased the duration of the earning asset portfolio by adding quality short and intermediate term loans such as home equity loans and the selling of long-term municipal bonds.  Lengthening of the liability portfolio is being undertaken to build protection in a rising rate environment.

A market value at risk calculation is utilized to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Company’s balance sheet and more specifically shareholders’ equity.  The Company does not manage the balance sheet structure in order to maintain compliance with this calculation.  The calculation serves as a guideline with greater emphasis placed on interest rate sensitivity.  Changes to calculation results from period to period are reviewed as changes in results could be a signal of future events.  As of the most recent analysis, the results of the market value at risk calculation were within established guidelines due to the strategic direction being taken.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

In this analysis the Company examines the result of a 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point change in market interest rates and the effect on net interest income. It is assumed that the change is instantaneous and that all rates move in a parallel manner.  Assumptions are also made concerning prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and mortgage securities.

The following is a rate shock forecast for the twelve month period ending June 30, 2023 assuming a static balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.
 Parallel Rate Shock in Basis Points
(In Thousands)-200-100Static+100+200+300+400

Percent change from static-9.91 %-4.87 %— 4.74 %9.58 %14.44 %19.31 %
 
The model utilized to create the report presented above makes various estimates at each level of interest rate change regarding cash flow from principal repayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and/or call activity on investment securities.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in the calculated projected change.  In addition, the limits stated above do not necessarily represent the level of change under which management would undertake specific measures to realign its portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of change.  Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook changes.

Inflation

The asset and liability structure of a financial institution is primarily monetary in nature.  Therefore, interest rates rather than inflation have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance.  Interest rates are not always affected in the same direction or magnitude as prices of other goods and services, but are reflective of fiscal policy initiatives or economic factors which are not measured by a price index.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk for the Company is comprised primarily of interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk.  Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at both the level of the Company and the Banks.  The Company’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced by an independent third party.  There have been no substantial changes in the Company’s gap analysis or simulation analysis compared to the information provided in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021.  Additional information and details are provided in the “Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity, and Market Risk” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of that document.

Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond in a timely manner when the market interest rate outlook changes.
