NOTE 1 – CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements of United Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) have been prepared without audit and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and dates indicated. Since the unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, they do not contain all information and footnotes typically included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 is derived from completed audited consolidated financial statements with footnotes, which are included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Union Bank Company (the “Bank”). The Bank has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, UBC Investments, Inc. (“UBC”), to hold and manage its securities portfolio. The operations of UBC are located in Wilmington, Delaware. The Bank has also formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, UBC Property, Inc., to hold and manage certain property. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to generally accepted practices within the banking industry. The Corporation considers all of its principal activities to be banking related.

NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The FASB issued ASU 2014-04 to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real property recognized. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Corporation has determined the provisions for ASU 2014-04 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, amending ASC topic 860. The FASB issued ASU 2014-11 to change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financials to secured borrowing accounting, which is consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. The amendments also require two new disclosures. The first disclosure requires an entity to disclose information on transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. The second disclosure provides increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The Corporation has determined the provisions for ASU 2014-11 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The FASB issued ASU 2014-14 to reduce the diversity of how creditors classify government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including FHA or VA guaranteed loans, upon foreclosure. The amendments in this update require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: 1) The loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; 2) At the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim; and 3) At the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Corporation has determined the provisions for ASU 2014-04 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

NOTE 4 – LOANS

The following tables present the activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the periods ending June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The following tables present the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment in loans by portfolio segment and based on impairment method for the periods ending June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Impaired loans were as follows as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

The average recorded investment in impaired loans (excluding loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality) for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $5.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively. There was approximately $138,000 and $128,000 in interest income recognized by the Corporation on impaired loans on an accrual or cash basis for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following table presents loans individually evaluated for impairment by class of loans as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current final financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to the credit risk. This analysis generally includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $500,000 at June 30, 2015 and $250,000 at December 31, 2014 and non-homogenous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Loans not meeting the previous criteria that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are generally either less than $500,000 or are included in groups of homogenous loans. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

The Corporation considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential 1 – 4 family and consumer loan classes, the Corporation also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity. The following table presents the recorded investment in non-impaired residential 1 – 4 family and consumer loans based on payment activity as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Modifications:

The Corporation’s 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 the Corporation’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. All TDRs are also classified as impaired loans.

When the Corporation modifies a loan, management evaluates any possible concession based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, except with the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan in the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases, management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, instead of discounted cash flows. If management determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), an impairment is recognized through a specific reserve in the allowance or a direct write down of the loan balance if collection is not expected.

The following table includes the recorded investment and number of modifications for TDR loans during the six month period ended June 30, 2015.

The concessions granted in the above TDR’s were a modification of the original term. The terms were extended. The recorded investment in the loans did not change as a result of the modification. There are not any troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default in the current reporting period.

The following is additional information with respect to loans acquired through The Ohio State Bank acquisition:

As a result of The Ohio State Bank acquisition, the Corporation has loans, for which there was at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of those loans as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $838,493 and $900,571, respectively.

No provision for loan losses was recognized during the period ended June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 related to the acquired loans as there was no significant change to the credit quality of the loans.

NOTE 5 – JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEFERRABLE INTEREST DEBENTURES

The Corporation has formed and invested $300,000 in a business trust, United (OH) Statutory Trust (“United Trust”) which is not consolidated by the Corporation. United Trust issued $10,000,000 of trust preferred securities, which are guaranteed by the Corporation, and are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the debentures. United Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of the trust preferred securities, as well as the Corporation’s capital investment, to purchase $10,300,000 of junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued by the Corporation. The debentures have a stated maturity date of March 26, 2033. As of March 26, 2008, and quarterly thereafter, the debentures may be shortened at the Corporation’s option. Interest is payable quarterly at a floating rate adjustable quarterly and equal to 315 basis points over the 3-month LIBOR amounting to 3.43% at June 30, 2015 and 3.38% at June 30, 2014. The Corporation has the right, subject to events in default, to defer payments of interest on the debentures by extending the interest payment period for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly periods.

The Corporation assumed $3,093,000 of trust preferred securities through The Ohio State Bank acquisition. The $3,000,000 of the liability is guaranteed by the Corporation, and the remaining $93,000 is secured by an investment in the trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities carrying value as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $2,455,454 and $2,438,549 respectively. The difference between the principal owed and the carrying value is due to the below-market interest rate on the debentures. The debentures have a stated maturity date of April 23, 2034. Interest is at a floating rate adjustable quarterly and equal to 285 basis points over the 3-month LIBOR amounting to 3.13% at June 30, 2015.

Each issue of the trust preferred securities carries an interest rate identical to that of the related debenture. The securities have been structured to qualify as Tier I capital for regulatory purposes and the dividends paid on such are tax deductible. However, under Federal Reserve Board guidelines, the securities cannot be used to constitute more than 25% of the Corporation’s core Tier I capital inclusive of these securities.

Interest expense on the debentures approximated $218,740 and $170,444 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in interest expense-other borrowings in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable, and both able and willing to transact.

ASC 820-10 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. The inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Corporation’s own financial data such as internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.

Financial assets (there were no financial liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 include available-for-sale securities, which are valued using Level 2 inputs except for one security which is valued using Level 1 inputs and one other security which is valued using Level 3 inputs and mortgage servicing rights, amounting to $1,287,493 at June 30, 2015 and $1,217,931 December 31, 2014, which are valued using Level 3 inputs. Financial assets (there were no financial liabilities) measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 include other real estate owned, as well as impaired loans approximating $3.6 million at June 30, 2015 and $2.9 million at December 31, 2014 all of which are valued using Level 3 inputs.

There were no financial instruments measured at fair value that moved to a lower level in the fair value hierarchy during the period ended June 30, 2015, due to the lack of observable quotes in inactive markets for those instruments at June 30, 2015. The Corporation did have one security that was moved from a Level 2 to Level 3 at December 31, 2014.

The table below presents a reconciliation and income statement classification of gains and losses for mortgage servicing rights, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014:

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, follows.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Corporation’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Corporation’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Corporation’s valuation methodologies 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.

Securities Available-for-Sale

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would typically include government bonds and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include U. S. Government and agencies, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Corporation did have securities classified as Level 2 or Level 3 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. There were no gains or losses relating to securities available-for-sale included in earnings before income taxes that were attributable to changes in fair values of securities held at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Impaired Loans

The Corporation does not record impaired loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, a loan is considered impaired and is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell, if repayment is expected solely from collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs, including recent appraisals and Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria such as additional appraisal adjustments to consider deterioration of value subsequent to appraisal date and estimated cost to sell. Additional appraisal adjustments range between 15% and 70% of appraised value, and estimated selling cost ranges between 10% and 20% of the adjusted appraised value.  Due to the significance of the Level 3 inputs, impaired loans fair values have been classified as Level 3.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Corporation records mortgage servicing rights at estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow model which includes discount rates between -1.50% and 1.34%, in addition to prepayment, internal rate of return, servicing costs, inflation rate of servicing costs and earnings rate assumptions that are considered to be unobservable inputs. Due to the significance of the Level 3 inputs, mortgage servicing rights have been classified as Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned

The Corporation values other real estate owned at the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less appraisal adjustments between 10% and 70% of appraised value, and expected selling costs between 10% and 20% of adjusted appraised value. Such values are estimated primarily using appraisals and reflect a market value approach. Due to the significance of the Level 3 inputs, other real estate owned has been classified as Level 3. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10, other real estate owned was written down to its estimated fair value of $583,000, resulting in impairment charges of $228,000, which are included in non-interest expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2015.

Certain other financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. Financial assets and financial liabilities, excluding impaired loans and other real estate owned, measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were not significant at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of recognized financial instruments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The above summary does not include accrued interest receivable or cash surrender value of life insurance which are also considered financial instruments. The estimated fair value of such items is considered to be their carrying amounts and would be considered level 1 input.

There are also unrecognized financial instruments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 which relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The contract amount of such financial instruments approximated $90,028,000 at June 30, 2015 and $92,921,000 at December 31, 2014. Such amounts are also considered to be the estimated fair values.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments shown above:

Cash and cash equivalents:

Fair value is determined to be the carrying amount for these items (which include cash on hand, due from banks, and federal funds sold) because they represent cash or mature in 90 days or less, and do not represent unanticipated credit concerns.

Securities:

The fair value of securities is determined based on quoted market prices of the individual securities; if not available, estimated fair value is obtained by comparison to other known securities with similar risk and maturity characteristics. Such value does not consider possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs.

Loans:

Fair value for loans was estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For adjustable rate loans, which re-price at least annually and generally possess low risk characteristics, the carrying amount is believed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed rate loans, the fair value is estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, considering weighted average rates and terms of the portfolio, adjusted for credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Fair value for nonperforming loans is based on recent appraisals or estimated discounted cash flows.

Mortgage servicing rights:

The fair value for mortgage servicing rights is determined based on an analysis of the portfolio by an independent third party.

Deposit liabilities:

The fair value of core deposits, including demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits, is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates offered at quarter end for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value does not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the marketplace.

Other borrowings and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures:

The fair value of other borrowings (consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and customer repurchase agreements), and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures are determined using the net present value of discounted cash flows based on current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, and are obtained from an independent third party.

Other financial instruments:

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is determined to be the contract amount, since these financial instruments generally represent commitments at existing rates. The fair value of other borrowings is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current interest rates. The fair value of other liabilities is generally considered to be carrying value except for the deferred compensation agreement. The fair value of the contract is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a current interest rate for a similar instrument.

The fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument over the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Since no ready market exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are largely based on judgments after considering such factors as future expected credit losses, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Events or transactions occurring after June 30, 2015 but prior to when the consolidated financial statements were issued, that provided additional evidence about conditions that existed at June 30, 2015 have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2015. Events or transactions that provided evidence about conditions that did not exist at June 30, 2015 but arose before the financial statements were issued have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2015.

On July 23, 2015, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.09 per common share payable September 16, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 31, 2015.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The following data should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis that follows:

Introduction

United Bancshares, Inc. (the “Corporation”), an Ohio corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”). The Corporation was incorporated and organized in 1985. The executive offices of the Corporation are located at 100 S. High Street, Columbus Grove, Ohio 45830. The Corporation is a one-bank holding company, as that term is defined by the Federal Reserve Board.

The Union Bank Company (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, is engaged in the business of commercial banking. The Bank is an Ohio state-chartered bank, which serves Allen, Delaware, Hancock, Marion, Putnam, Sandusky, Van Wert and Wood counties in Ohio, with office locations in Bowling Green, Columbus Grove, Delaware, Delphos, Findlay, Gibsonburg, Kalida, Leipsic, Lima, Marion, Ottawa and Pemberville, Ohio.

The Bank offers a full range of commercial banking services, including checking accounts, savings and money market accounts, time certificates of deposit, automatic teller machines, commercial, consumer, agricultural, residential mortgage and home equity loans, credit card services, safe deposit box rentals, and other personalized banking services. The Bank has formed UBC Investments, Inc. (“UBC”) to hold and manage its securities portfolio. The operations of UBC are located in Wilmington, Delaware. The Bank has also formed UBC Property, Inc. to hold and manage certain other real estate owned.

On July 1, 2014, the Corporation, Ohio State Bancshares, Inc. (“OSB”) and Rbancshares, Inc. (“Rbancshares”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Corporation purchased from OSB all of the issued and outstanding shares of The Ohio State Bank (“The Ohio State Bank”), an Ohio banking corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of OSB (the “Acquisition”). Immediately following the acquisition, The Ohio State Bank was merged into the Bank. The Ohio State Bank operated three full-service branches with a main office and one other facility in Marion, Ohio and one branch in Delaware, Ohio. These offices became branches of the Bank after the acquisition. The transaction was completed on November 14, 2014 with assets acquired and deposits assumed being recorded at their estimated fair values.

When or if used in the Corporation’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases: “anticipate,” “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “is estimated,” “is projected,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview of the Income Statement

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Corporation reported net income of $1,903,000, or $0.57 basic earnings per share. This compares to the second quarter of 2014 net income of $1,325,000, or $0.39 basic earnings per share. The increase in operating results for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in interest income of $856,000, decrease in provision for loan loss of $115,000, decrease in non-interest income of $72,000, a $686,000 increase in non-interest expenses, and a decrease of $158,000 in interest expense, and the related income tax effects of these items. The majority of the increase in interest income for the quarter was due to the acquisition of the loan portfolio from OSB. Non-interest expense increased due to occupancy and salary expense for the three branches acquired from OSB.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $3,025,000, or $0.90 basic earnings per share compared to $2,226,000 or $0.65 basic earnings per share for the same period in 2014. Compared with the same period in 2014, net income increased $799,000, or 35.9%. The increase for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2014, was primarily the result of an increase in non-interest income of $117,000 and an increase in net interest income of $1,983,000 offset by an increase of $1,368,000 in non-interest expenses, and the related income tax effects of these items. The majority of the increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was due to the acquisition of the loan portfolio from OSB.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the amount by which income from interest-earning assets exceeds interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets consist principally of loans and investment securities while interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposit accounts and borrowed funds. Net interest income remains the primary source of revenue for the Corporation. Changes in market interest rates, as well as changes in the mix and volume of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income. Net interest income was $5,143,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $4,128,000 for the same period of 2014, an increase of $1,015,000 (24.6%).

Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income (adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on a taxable equivalent basis) by average interest-earning assets. The resulting percentage serves as a measurement for the Corporation in comparing its results with those of past periods as well as those of peer institutions. For the quarterly and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, the net interest margin (on a taxable equivalent basis) was 3.64% compared with 3.25% and 3.37% for the same periods in 2014.

Interest-bearing deposits comprised 98% of average interest-bearing liabilities for the six month ended June 30, 2015, compared to 94.4% for the same period in 2014. The Corporation’s cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.48% for the six months of 2015 compared to 0.64% for the same period in 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Corporation’s provision for loan losses is determined based upon management’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses and is reflective of management’s assessment of the quality of the portfolio and overall management of the inherent credit risk of the loan portfolio. Changes in the provision for loan losses are dependent, among other things, on loan delinquencies, collateral position, portfolio risks and general economic conditions in the Corporation’s lending markets. A $100,000 provision for loan losses was made during the six month period ended June 30, 2015. A $115,000 provision for loan losses was made during the second quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2014. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” under Financial Condition for further discussion relating to the provision for loan losses.

Non-Interest Income

The Corporation’s non-interest income is largely generated from activities related to the origination, servicing and gain on sales of fixed rate mortgage loans, customer deposit account fees, earnings on life insurance policies, income arising from sales of investment products to customers, and occasional security sale transactions. Income related to customer deposit accounts and Bank Owned Life Insurance provides a relatively steady flow of income while the other sources are more volume or transaction related and consequently can vary from quarter to quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, non-interest income was $1,277,000 compared to $1,349,000 for the second quarter of 2014, a $72,000 (5.3%) decrease.

Gain on sales of loans amounted to $130,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $67,000 for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $63,000 (94.0%). Quarterly gain on sale of loans was impacted by an increase in capitalized servicing rights of $62,000 in 2015 and an increase of $31,000 in 2014. Gain on sales of loans amounted to $224,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $121,000 for the comparable period in 2014, an increase of $103,000 (85.1%). Gain on sales of loans for the six month period included capitalized servicing rights of $70,000 in 2015 and $54,000 in 2014. The increase in gain on sale of loans corresponds with the increase in loan sales activity. Loan sales for the first six months of 2015 were $12.0 million, compared to $6.0 million for the first six months of 2014.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights increased $125,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to an $33,000 decrease for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, there was an increase in fair value of mortgage servicing rights of $70,000, compared to a decrease in fair value of mortgage servicing rights of $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in fair value of mortgage servicing rights resulted from a decrease in the prepayment speeds utilized during the second quarter of 2015.

Gain on sales of securities amounted to $18,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $395,000 for the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $377,000 (95.4%). Gain on sales of securities amounted to $52,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $397,000 for the comparable period in 2014, a decrease of $345,000 (86.9%).

Non-Interest Expenses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, non-interest expenses were $4,315,000, compared to $3,629,000 for the second quarter of 2014, a $686,000 (18.9%) increase. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, non-interest expenses totaled $8,943,000, compared to $7,575,000 for the comparable period of 2014, an increase of $1,368,000 (18.1%). The increase in non-interest expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was primarily attributed to the increase in expenses for the three branches acquired from OSB. Also, contributing to the increase in non-interest expense were increases in other real estate owned expenses, asset management expenses , occupancy expenses and deposit premium amortization.

Maintaining acceptable levels of non-interest expenses and operating efficiency are key performance indicators for the Corporation in its strategic initiatives. The financial services industry uses the efficiency ratio (total non-interest expense as a percentage of the aggregate of fully-tax equivalent net interest income and non-interest income) as a key indicator of performance. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 60.78%, compared to 63.60% for the same period of 2014. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 63.76% compared to 69.13% for the same period of 2014.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $201,000 compared to $407,000 for the comparable 2014 period. The provision for income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was $511,000, or 14.5% of income before income taxes, compared to $563,000 or 20.21% for the comparable 2014 period. The change was due, in part, to a one-time tax benefit due to a change in the tax law of $331,000 which was recognized.

Return on Assets

Return on average assets was 1.20% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 0.90% for the second quarter of 2014. For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, return on average assets was 0.94%, compared to 0.78% for the same period of 2014.

Return on Equity

Return on average shareholders’ equity for the second quarter of 2015 was 11.05%, compared to 8.24% for the same period of 2014. Return on average equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 8.85%, compared to 7.01% for the same period in 2014.

The Corporation and Bank met all regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2015, and the Bank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory and industry standards of risk-based capital.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview of Balance Sheet

Total assets amounted to $628.5 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $650.2 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $21.7 million (3.33%). The decrease in total assets was primarily the result of a decrease of $20.4 million (63.0%) in cash and cash equivalents, a $249,000 (3.95%) decrease in other assets and a $47,000 (8.72%) increase in other real estate owned, decrease of $3.1 million (0.88%) in gross loans, and an increase in available-for-sale securities of $1.8 million (0.88%). Deposits during this same period decreased $45.8 million, or 8.10%. The decrease in deposits also resulted in a decrease in total assets and increased borrowings by $22.3 million.

Shareholders’ equity increased from $67.8 million at December 31, 2014 to $69.3 million at June 30, 2015. This increase was the result of net income of $3,025,000, dividends paid of $603,000, repurchase of 39,321 shares for $594,000, the issuance of 403 treasury shares under the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan of $8,000 and a $358,000 decrease in unrealized securities gains, net of tax. The decrease in unrealized securities gains during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, was the result of customary and expected changes in the bond market. Net unrealized gains on securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.0 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $32.4 million at December 31, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents includes interest-bearing deposits in other banks of $2.8 million at June 30, 2015 and $20.9 million at December 31, 2014. Management believes the current level of cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet the Corporation’s present liquidity and performance needs. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis due to transactions in process and corresponding liquidity sources and uses. Management believes the Corporation’s liquidity needs in the near term will be satisfied by the current level of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and non-traditional funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that will mature within one year. These sources of funds should enable the Corporation to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due. In addition, the Corporation has access to various sources of additional borrowings by virtue of long-term assets that can be used as collateral for such borrowings.

Securities

Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the securities portfolio on a regular basis through Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) meetings. As a result, all securities, except FHLB stock, have been designated as available-for-sale and may be sold if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons. Such securities are reported at fair value, with any net unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of related incomes taxes.

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2015 totaled $206.7 million and $208.3 million, respectively, resulting in net unrealized gains of $1,597,000 and a corresponding after tax increase in shareholders’ equity of $1,054,000. The amortized cost of available-for-sale securities increased $2.4 million from December 31, 2014.

Loans

The Corporation’s lending is primarily centered in Northwestern and West Central Ohio. Gross loans totaled $357.9 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $360.9 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $3.0 million (.86%). The decrease in loan balances during the first six months of 2015 resulted primarily from a decrease in loan origination activity.

There are also unrecognized financial instruments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 which relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The contract amount of such financial instruments approximated $90 million at June 30, 2015 and $92.9 million at December 31, 2014.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The following table presents a summary of activity in the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.14% at June 30, 2015 (excluding mark to market loans acquired from OSB) and 1.32% at December 31, 2014. Regular provisions are made in amounts sufficient to maintain the balance in the allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate for losses within the portfolio. Even though management uses all available information to assess possible loan losses, future additions or reductions to the allowance may be required as changes occur in economic conditions and specific borrower circumstances. The regulatory agencies that periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses may also require additions to the allowance or the charge-off of specific loans based upon the information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Loans on non-accrual status amounted to $6.4 million and $5.2 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Non-accrual loans as a percentage of outstanding loans amounted to 1.78% at June 30, 2015 and 1.45% at December 31, 2014.

The Corporation considers a loan to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect under the contractual terms of the loan, based on current information and events. Impaired loans, principally consisting of commercial real estate credits, amounted to $4.6 million at June 30, 2015 and $3.7 million at December 31, 2014. Impaired loans at December 31, 2014 included $1.0 million of loans with no specific reserves included in the allowance for loan losses and none at June 30, 2015 and $4.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of loans with specific reserves of $943,000 and $807,000 included in the Corporation’s June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 allowance for loan losses.

In addition to impaired loans, the Corporation had other potential problem credits of $12.7 million at June 30, 2015 and $18.7 million at December 31, 2014. The Corporation’s credit administration department continues to closely monitor these credits.

The Corporation provides pooled reserves for potential problem loans using loss rates calculated considering historic net loan-charge off experience. The Corporation has experienced $413,000 of loan charge-offs during the first six months of 2015 compared to annual loan recoveries, net of charge-offs, of $255,117 in 2014, as well as charge-offs of $2.2 million in 2013, and $1.8 million in 2012, with most of the charge-offs coming from the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The Corporation also provides general reserves for the remaining portion of its loan portfolio not considered to be problem or potential problem loans. These general reserves are also calculated considering, among other things, the historic net charge-off experience for the relative loan type.

Funding Sources

The Corporation considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited to, deposits, as well as short-term and long-term borrowings when evaluating funding sources. Deposits, including customer deposits, brokered certificates of deposit, and public funds deposits, continue to be the most significant source of funds for the Corporation, totaling $519.6 million, or 92.9% of the Corporation’s funding sources at June 30, 2015. Total deposits decreased $45.9 million during the six months ending June 30, 2015.

Non-interest bearing deposits remain a smaller portion of the funding source for the Corporation than for most of its peers. Non-interest bearing deposits comprised 16.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2015, compared to 17.2% at June 30, 2014.

In addition to traditional deposits, the Corporation maintains both short-term and long-term borrowing arrangements. Other borrowings consisted of FHLB borrowings totaling $22.3 million at June 30, 2015 (none at December 31, 2014), and customer repurchase agreements totaling $4.6 million at December 31, 2014 (none at June 30, 2015). The Corporation also has outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of $12.7 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Management plans to maintain access to various borrowing alternatives as an appropriate funding source.

Shareholders’ Equity

For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Corporation had net income of $3.02 million. The increase (decrease) in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, was ($357,700) and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Since all of the securities in the Corporation’s portfolio are classified as available-for-sale, both securities and the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets are sensitive to the changing market values of securities.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

The objective of the Corporation’s asset/liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income through management of the Corporation’s balance sheet liquidity and interest rate exposure based on changes in economic conditions, interest rate levels, and customer preferences.

The Corporation manages interest rate risk to minimize the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings. The Corporation uses simulation techniques that attempt to measure the volatility of changes in the level of interest rates, basic banking interest rate spreads, the shape of the yield curve, and the impact of changing product growth patterns. The primary method of measuring the sensitivity of earnings of changing market interest rates is to simulate expected cash flows using varying assumed interest rates while also adjusting the timing and magnitude of non-contractual deposit re-pricing to more accurately reflect anticipated pricing behavior. These simulations include adjustments for the lag in prime loan re-pricing and the spread and volume elasticity of interest-bearing deposit accounts, regular savings and money market deposit accounts.

The principal function of interest rate risk management is to maintain an appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changing market interest rates. The Corporation closely monitors the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis and projects the effect of various interest rate changes on its net interest margin. Interest sensitive assets and liabilities are defined as those assets or liabilities that mature or re-price within a designated time frame.

Management believes the Corporation’s current mix of assets and liabilities provides a reasonable level of risk related to significant fluctuations in net interest income and the resulting volatility of the Corporation’s earning base. The Corporation’s management reviews interest rate risk in relation to its effect on net interest income, net interest margin, and the volatility of the earnings base of the Corporation.

Effects of Inflation on Financial Statements

All of the Corporation’s assets relate to commercial banking operations and are generally monetary in nature. Therefore, they are not impacted by inflation to the same degree as companies in capital-intensive industries in a replacement cost environment. During a period of rising prices, a net monetary asset position results in loss of purchasing power and conversely a net monetary liability position results in an increase in purchasing power. In the commercial banking industry, monetary assets typically exceed monetary liabilities. The Corporation has not experienced a significant level of inflation or deflation during the six month period ended June 30, 2015. However, because of the depressed national real estate market and sluggish local economy, the Corporation has experienced declines in the value of collateral securing commercial and non-commercial real estate loans. Management continues to closely monitor these trends in calculating the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses.

ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The only significant market risk to which the Corporation is exposed is interest rate risk. The business of the Corporation and the composition of its balance sheet consist of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities), which are funded by interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). These financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in the market rates of interest, resulting in market risk. None of the Corporation’s financial instruments are held for trading purposes.

The Corporation manages interest rate risk regularly through its Asset Liability Committee. The Committee meets on a regular basis and reviews various asset and liability management information, including but not limited to, the bank’s liquidity positions, projected sources and uses of funds, interest rate risk positions and economic conditions.

The Corporation monitors its interest rate risk through a sensitivity analysis, whereby it measures potential changes in its future earnings and the fair values of its financial instruments that may result from one or more hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis is performed by estimating the expected cash flows of the Corporation’s financial instruments using interest rates in effect at year-end. For the fair value estimates, the cash flows are then discounted to year-end to arrive at an estimated present value of the Corporation’s financial instruments. Hypothetical changes in interest rates are then applied to the financial instruments, and the cash flows and fair values are again estimated using these hypothetical rates. For the net interest income estimates, the hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based on the assumed cash flows. The Corporation typically applies interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments up and down under various scenarios up to as much as 400 basis points depending on the overall level of interest rates at any point in time.

There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative information about market risk from the information provided in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
