Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used throughout the consolidated financial statements and related notes of this Form 10-Q.

Nature of Operations – Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. and subsidiaries is a financial holding company that operates Orrstown Bank, a commercial bank with banking and financial advisory offices in Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster and Perry Counties of Pennsylvania and in Washington County, Maryland and Wheatland Advisors, Inc., a registered investment advisor non-bank subsidiary, headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and which was acquired in December 2016. The Bank engages in lending activities including commercial, residential, commercial mortgages, construction, municipal, and various forms of consumer lending. Deposit services include checking, savings, time, and money market deposits. The Bank also provides investment and brokerage services through its OFA division. The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by such regulatory authorities.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank and Wheatland. The Company has prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information, SEC rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) that are necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was derived from the 2016 audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with current year classifications.

The Company's management has evaluated all activity of the Company and concluded that subsequent events are properly reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes as required by GAAP.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ALL and income taxes.

Concentration of Credit Risk – The Company grants commercial, residential, construction, and municipal loans, and various forms of consumer loans to customers primarily in its market area of Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster and Perry Counties of Pennsylvania and in Washington County, Maryland. The Company's exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in those areas. Although the Company maintains a diversified loan portfolio, a significant portion of its customers’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon economic sectors for commercial real estate, including office space, retail strip centers, multi-family and hospitality, and residential building operators. Management evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if collateral is deemed necessary by the Company upon the extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but generally includes real estate and equipment.

The types of securities the Company invests in are included in Note 2, Securities Available for Sale and the type of lending the Company engages in are included in Note 3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash, balances due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits due on demand, all of which have original maturities of 90 days or less. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, redemptions (purchases) of restricted investments in bank stocks, and short-term borrowings.

Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks – Restricted investments in bank stocks consist of Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia stock, FHLB of Pittsburgh stock and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank stock. Federal law requires a member institution of the district Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB to hold stock according to predetermined formulas. Atlantic Community Bankers Bank requires its correspondent banking institutions to hold stock as a condition of membership.

Table of Contents

The restricted investment in bank stocks is carried at cost. Quarterly, management evaluates the bank stocks for impairment based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced by criteria such as operating performance, liquidity, funding and capital positions, stock repurchase history, dividend history and impact of legislative and regulatory changes.

Securities – The Company classifies debt and marketable equity securities as available for sale on the date of purchase. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no held to maturity or trading securities. AFS securities are reported at fair value. Interest income and dividends are recognized in interest income on an accrual basis. Purchase premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized to interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities and approximate the level yield method.

Changes in unrealized gains and losses, net of related deferred taxes, for AFS securities are recorded in AOCI. Realized gains and losses on securities are recorded on the trade date using the specific identification method and are included in noninterest income.

AFS securities include investments that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability management strategy. Securities may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment rates and other factors. The Company does not have the intent to sell any of its AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

Management evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components: OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in OCI, and the remaining OTTI recognized in earnings. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

The Company’s securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, market risk, and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect investment assets reported in the consolidated financial statements.

Loans Held for Sale – Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Gains and losses on loan sales (sales proceeds minus carrying value) are recorded in noninterest income.

Loans – The Company grants commercial loans; residential, commercial and construction mortgage loans; and various forms of consumer loans to its customers located principally in south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent largely upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the ALL, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan. For purchased loans that are not deemed impaired at the acquisition date, premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted as adjustments to interest income using the effective yield method.

For all classes of loans, the accrual of interest income on loans, including impaired loans, ceases when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more or immediately if, in the opinion of management, full collection is unlikely. Interest will continue to accrue on loans past due 90 days or more if the collateral is adequate to cover principal and interest, and the loan is in the process of collection. Interest accrued, but not collected, at the date of placement on nonaccrual status, is reversed and charged against current interest income, unless fully collateralized. Subsequent payments received are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending upon management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of principal. Loans are returned to accrual status, for all loan classes, when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, the loan has performed in accordance with the contractual terms of the note for a

Table of Contents

reasonable period of time, generally six months, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan.

Loans, the terms of which are modified, are classified as TDRs if a concession was granted in connection with the modification, for legal or economic reasons, related to the debtor’s financial difficulties. Concessions granted under a TDR typically involve a temporary deferral of scheduled loan payments, an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date, a temporary reduction in interest rates, or granting of an interest rate below market rates given the risk of the transaction. If a modification occurs while the loan is on accruing status, it will continue to accrue interest under the modified terms. Nonaccrual TDRs may be restored to accrual status if scheduled principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six months after modification, and the borrower continues to demonstrate its ability to meet the modified terms. TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment on a quarterly basis including monitoring of performance according to their modified terms.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The ALL is evaluated on a quarterly basis, as losses are estimated to be probable and incurred, and, if deemed necessary, is increased through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when management determines that all or a portion of the loan is uncollectible. Recoveries on previously charged-off loans are credited to the ALL when received. The ALL is allocated to loan portfolio classes on a quarterly basis, but the entire balance is available to cover losses from any of the portfolio classes when those losses are confirmed.

Management uses internal policies and bank regulatory guidance in periodically evaluating loans for collectability and incorporates historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

See Note 3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, for additional information.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments – Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. These financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The Company maintains a reserve for probable losses on off-balance sheet commitments which is included in Other Liabilities.

Loans Serviced – The Bank administers secondary market mortgage programs available through the FHLB and the Federal National Mortgage Association and offers residential mortgage products and services to customers. The Bank originates single-family residential mortgage loans for immediate sale in the secondary market, and retains the servicing of those loans sold to these investors. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of loans serviced for others totaled $332,998,000 and $328,701,000.

Transfers of Financial Assets – Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance – The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain employees. Life insurance is recorded at the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Premises and Equipment – Buildings, improvements, equipment, furniture and fixtures are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization has been provided generally on the straight-line method and is computed over the estimated useful lives of the various assets as follows: buildings and improvements, including leasehold improvements – 10 to 40 years; and furniture and equipment – 3 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the indicated life. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred, while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gain or loss on retirement or disposal of individual assets is recorded as income or expense in the period of retirement or disposal.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – Goodwill is calculated as the purchase premium, if any, after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired in purchase transactions. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for potential impairment on at least an annual basis, with testing between annual reviews if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights. The Company’s other intangible assets have finite lives and are

Table of Contents

amortized on either the sum of the years digits or straight line bases over their estimated lives, generally 10 years for deposit premiums and 10 to 15 years for customer lists.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – The estimated fair value of MSRs related to loans sold and serviced by the Company is recorded as an asset upon the sale of such loans. MSRs are amortized as a reduction to servicing income over the estimated lives of the underlying loans. MSRs are evaluated periodically for impairment by comparing the carrying amount to estimated fair value. Fair value is determined periodically through a discounted cash flows valuation performed by a third party. Significant inputs to the valuation include expected servicing income, net of expense, the discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans. To the extent the amortized cost of the MSRs exceeds their estimated fair values, a valuation allowance is established for such impairment through a charge against servicing income on the consolidated statements of income. If the Company determines, based on subsequent valuations, that the impairment no longer exists or is reduced, the valuation allowance is reduced through a credit to earnings. MSRs totaled $2,880,000 and $2,835,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and are included in Other Assets.

Foreclosed Real Estate – Real estate property acquired through foreclosure or other means is initially recorded at the fair value of the related real estate collateral at the transfer date less estimated selling costs, and subsequently at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is usually determined based upon an independent third-party appraisal of the property or occasionally upon a recent sales offer. Costs to maintain foreclosed real estate are expensed as incurred. Costs that significantly improve the value of the properties are capitalized. Foreclosed real estate totaled $1,258,000 and $346,000 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and is included in Other Assets.

Investments in Real Estate Partnerships – The Company has a 99% limited partner interest in several real estate partnerships in central Pennsylvania. These investments are affordable housing projects which entitle the Company to tax deductions and credits through 2025. The Company accounts for its investments in affordable housing projects under the proportional amortization method when the criteria are met, which is limited to one investment entered into in 2015, with the other investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The recorded investment in these real estate partnerships, included in Other Assets, totaled $4,556,000 and $4,909,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, of which $1,835,000 and $1,993,000 are accounted for under the proportional amortization method.

Losses accounted for under the equity method for investments in real estate partnerships totaled $81,000 and $83,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $196,000 and $261,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and are included in other noninterest income. Losses on investments accounted for under the proportional amortization method are included in income tax expense, net of federal income tax benefit. These losses totaled $52,000 and $52,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $157,000 and $138,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company recognized federal tax credits from these investments totaling $253,000 and $184,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $758,000, and $552,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, which are included in income tax expense.

Advertising – The Company expenses advertising as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $138,000 and $238,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $455,000 and $591,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Repurchase Agreements – The Company enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities which are included in short-term borrowings. Under these agreements, the Company may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets. As a result, these Repurchase Agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the Repurchase Agreements remaining are reflected in AFS securities; the repurchase obligation and underlying securities are not offset or netted. The Company does not enter into reverse Repurchase Agreements, so there is no offsetting to be performed with Repurchase Agreements.

The right of setoff for a Repurchase Agreement resembles a secured borrowing, whereby the collateral would be used to settle the fair value of the Repurchase Agreement should the Company be in default (e.g., fails to make an interest payment to the counterparty). For the Repurchase Agreements, the collateral is held by the Company in a segregated custodial account under a third party agreement. Repurchase agreements are secured by GSE MBSs and mature overnight.

Share Compensation Plans – The Company has share compensation plans that cover employees and non-employee directors. Compensation expense relating to share-based payment transactions is measured based on the grant date fair value of the share award, including a Black-Scholes model for stock options. Compensation expense for all share awards is calculated and recognized over the employees’ service period, generally defined as the vesting period.

Income Taxes – Income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more likely than not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.

Loss Contingencies – Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Treasury Stock – Common stock shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock at cost.

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Restricted stock awards are included in weighted average common shares outstanding as they are earned. Diluted earnings per share includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and are determined using the treasury stock method.

Treasury shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income consists of net income and OCI. OCI is limited to unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities for all periods presented. Unrealized gains (losses) on AFS securities, net of tax, was the sole component of AOCI at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Fair Value – Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 9, Fair Value. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Segment Reporting – The Company operates in one significant segment – Community Banking. The Company’s non-banking activities are insignificant to the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-9, as amended, creates a new Topic 606 to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. A substantial portion of the Company's revenue is generated from interest income related to loans and investment securities, which are not within the scope of this guidance. Our preliminary evaluation of the impact of changes for in-scope items within noninterest income, including service charges on deposit accounts and trust and investment management income, has not identified any material changes. We continue to evaluate any related changes to disclosures that may be required. While the Company is completing its review of contracts and other agreements to be prepared for adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2018, we do not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 provides updated accounting and reporting

Table of Contents

requirements for both public and non-public entities. The most significant provisions that will impact the Company are: AFS equity securities will be measured at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized in the income statement; the elimination of the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments at amortized cost on the balance sheet; a provision to require the utilization of the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and a requirement for separate presentation of both financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or accompanying notes to the financial statements. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, using a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet. Management does not anticipate this update will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-12 provides updated accounting and reporting requirements, which, among other things, require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The Company anticipates that the impact on its balance sheet will result in an increase in assets and liabilities for its right of use assets and related lease liabilities for those leases that are outstanding at the date of adoption, however, it does not anticipate it will have a material impact on its results of operations. Management is evaluating other effects of this standard on the Company's financial position and regulatory capital.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). ASU 2016-09 requires recognition of the income tax effects of share-based awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, eliminating additional paid-in capital pools. The adoption of these changes by the Company on January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with an expected loss impairment methodology, which considers a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to support credit loss estimates, including historical loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and foreseeable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced and greater disclosure pertaining to significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of the Company’s financial instrument portfolio, including loans and securities. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 with adoption permitted one year earlier. Management is evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company's financial position, results of operations and regulatory capital.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 makes eight target changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the consolidated statement of cash flows. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 with adoption on a retrospective basis. Management does not anticipate this update will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Management does not anticipate this update will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) which shortens the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This guidance would not require an accounting change for securities purchased at a discount. This change becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods. Management does not anticipate this update will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) which is intended to provide clarity and reduce both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This change becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods. Management does not anticipate this update will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

U.S. Government Agencies and GSE Securities. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by a widening of spreads and/or a rise in interest rates from the time these securities were purchased. The contractual terms of these securities do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than its par value basis. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be OTTI at September 30, 2017 or at December 31, 2016.

State and Political Subdivisions. The unrealized losses presented in the table above have been caused by a widening of spreads and/or a rise in interest rates from the time these securities were purchased. Management considers the investment rating, the state of the issuer of the security and other credit support in determining whether the security is OTTI. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell them before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be OTTI at September 30, 2017 or at December 31, 2016.

NOTE 3. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company’s loan portfolio is grouped into classes to allow management to monitor the performance by the borrower and to monitor the yield on the portfolio. Consistent with ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Loan Losses, the segments are further broken down into classes to allow for differing risk characteristics within a segment.

The risks associated with lending activities differ among the various loan classes and are subject to the impact of changes in interest rates, market conditions of collateral securing the loans, and general economic conditions. All of these factors may adversely impact the borrower’s ability to repay its loans and associated collateral.

The Company has various types of commercial real estate loans which have differing levels of credit risk. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business, with the cash flows generated from the business being the primary source of repayment of the loan. If the business suffers a downturn in sales or profitability, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan could be in jeopardy.

Non-owner occupied and multi-family commercial real estate loans and non-owner occupied residential loans present a different credit risk to the Company than owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, as the repayment of the loan is dependent upon the borrower’s ability to generate a sufficient level of occupancy to produce rental income that exceeds debt service requirements and operating expenses. Lower occupancy or lease rates may result in a reduction in cash flows, which hinders the ability of the borrower to meet debt service requirements, and may result in lower collateral values. The Company generally recognizes that greater risk is inherent in these credit relationships as compared to owner-occupied loans mentioned above.

Acquisition and development loans consist of 1-4 family residential construction and commercial and land development loans. The risk of loss on these loans is largely dependent on the Company’s ability to assess the property’s value at the completion of the project, which should exceed the property’s construction costs. During the construction phase, a number of factors could potentially negatively impact the collateral value, including cost overruns, delays in completing the project, competition, and real estate market conditions which may change based on the supply of similar properties in the area. In the event the collateral value at the completion of the project is not sufficient to cover the outstanding loan balance, the Company must rely upon other repayment sources, including the guarantors of the project or other collateral securing the loan.

Commercial and industrial loans include advances to local and regional businesses for general commercial purposes and include permanent and short-term working capital, machinery and equipment financing, and may be either in the form of lines of credit or term loans. Although commercial and industrial loans may be unsecured to our highest-rated borrowers, the majority of these loans are secured by the borrower’s accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment. In a significant number of these loans, the collateral also includes the business real estate or the business owner’s personal real estate or assets. Commercial and industrial loans present credit exposure to the Company, as they are more susceptible to risk of loss during a downturn in the economy, as borrowers may have greater difficulty in meeting their debt service requirements and the value of the collateral may decline. The Company attempts to mitigate this risk through its underwriting standards, including evaluating the creditworthiness of the borrower and, to the extent available, credit ratings on the business. Additionally, monitoring of the loans through annual renewals and meetings with the borrowers are typical. However, these procedures cannot eliminate the risk of loss associated with commercial and industrial lending.

Municipal loans consist of extensions of credit to municipalities and school districts within the Company’s market area. These loans generally present a lower risk than commercial and industrial loans, as they are generally secured by the municipality’s full taxing authority, by revenue obligations, or by its ability to raise assessments on its customers for a specific utility.

The Company originates loans to its retail customers, including fixed-rate and adjustable rate first lien mortgage loans with the underlying 1-4 family owner-occupied residential property securing the loan. The Company’s credit risk exposure is minimized in these types of loans through the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower, including credit scores and debt-to-income ratios, and underwriting standards which limit the loan-to-value ratio to generally no more than 80% upon loan origination, unless the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance.

Home equity loans, including term loans and lines of credit, present a slightly higher credit risk to the Company than 1-4 family first liens, as these loans can be first or second liens on 1-4 family owner-occupied residential property, but generally can have loan-to-value ratios of no greater than 90% of the value of the real estate taken as collateral. The creditworthiness of the borrower is considered, including credit scores and debt-to-income ratios.

Installment and other loans’ credit risk are mitigated through prudent underwriting standards, including the evaluation of the creditworthiness of the borrower through credit scores and debt-to-income ratios and, if secured, the collateral value of the assets. As these loans can be unsecured or secured by assets the value of which may depreciate quickly or may fluctuate, they typically present a greater risk to the Company than 1-4 family residential loans.

In order to monitor ongoing risk associated with its loan portfolio and specific loans within the segments, management uses an internal grading system. The first several rating categories, representing the lowest risk to the Bank, are combined and given a “Pass” rating. Management generally follows regulatory definitions in assigning criticized ratings to loans, including "Special Mention," "Substandard," "Doubtful" or "Loss." The Special Mention category includes loans that have potential weaknesses that may, if not monitored or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank’s position at some future date. These assets pose elevated risk, but their weakness does not yet justify a more severe, or classified rating. Substandard loans are classified as such as they have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans include loans that management has determined not to be impaired, as well as loans considered to be impaired. A Doubtful loan has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the asset, its classification of loss is deferred. Loss loans are considered uncollectible, as the underlying borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have suspended debt repayments, or have ceased business operations. Once a loan is classified as Loss, there is little prospect of collecting the loan’s principal or interest and it is generally written off.

The Company has a loan review policy and program which is designed to identify and manage risk in the lending function. The ERM Committee, comprised of executive officers and loan department personnel, is charged with the oversight of overall credit quality and risk exposure of the Company’s loan portfolio. This includes the monitoring of the lending activities of all Company personnel with respect to underwriting and processing new loans and the timely follow-up and corrective action for loans showing signs of deterioration in quality. The Company's loan review program provides the Company with an independent review of the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as extended delinquencies, bankruptcy, repossession or death of the borrower occurs, which heightens awareness as to a possible negative credit event.

Internal loan reviews are completed annually on all commercial relationships with a committed loan balance in excess of $500,000, which includes confirmation of risk rating by an independent credit officer. In addition, all relationships greater than $250,000 rated Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are reviewed quarterly and corresponding risk ratings are reaffirmed by the Company's Problem Loan Committee, with subsequent reporting to the ERM Committee.

Classified loans may also be evaluated for impairment. For commercial real estate, acquisition and development and commercial and industrial loans, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Generally, loans that are more than 90 days past due are deemed impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed to determine if the loan should be placed on nonaccrual status.

Table of Contents

Nonaccrual loans in the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios and any TDRs are, by definition, deemed to be impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial, construction and restructured loans by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. For loans that are deemed to be impaired for extended periods of time, periodic updates of fair values are obtained, which may include updated appraisals. The updated fair values are incorporated into the impairment analysis as of the next reporting period.

Loan charge-offs, which may include partial charge-offs, are taken on an impaired loan that is collateral dependent if the loan’s carrying balance exceeds its collateral’s appraised value; the loan has been identified as uncollectible; and it is deemed to be a confirmed loss. Typically, impaired loans with a partial charge-off will continue to be considered impaired, unless the note is split into two, and management expects the performing note to continue to perform and it is adequately secured. The second, or non-performing note, would be charged-off. Generally, an impaired loan with a partial charge-off may continue to have an impairment reserve on it after the partial charge-off, if factors warrant.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, nearly all of the Company’s impaired loans’ extent of impairment was measured based on the estimated fair value of the collateral securing the loan, except for TDRs. By definition, TDRs are considered impaired. All restructured loan impairments were determined based on discounted cash flows for those loans classified as TDRs and still accruing interest. For real estate loans, collateral generally consists of commercial real estate, but in the case of commercial and industrial loans, it would also consist of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other business assets. Commercial and industrial loans may also have real estate collateral.

According to policy, updated appraisals are generally required every 18 months for classified commercial loans in excess of $250,000. The “as is value” provided in the appraisal is often used as the fair value of the collateral in determining impairment, unless circumstances, such as subsequent improvements, approvals, or other circumstances dictate that another value provided by the appraiser is more appropriate.

Generally, impaired loans secured by commercial real estate, other than performing TDRs, are measured at fair value using certified real estate appraisals that have been completed within the last 18 months. Appraised values are further discounted for estimated costs to sell the property and other selling considerations to arrive at the property’s fair value. In those situations in which it is determined an updated appraisal is not required for loans individually evaluated for impairment, fair values are based on one, or a combination of, the following approaches. In those situations in which a combination of approaches is considered, the factor that carries the most consideration will be the one management believes is warranted. The approaches are:

•

Original appraisal – if the original appraisal provides a strong loan-to-value ratio (generally 70% or lower) and, after consideration of market conditions and knowledge of the property and area, it is determined by the Credit Administration staff that there has not been a significant deterioration in the collateral value, the original certified appraised value may be used. Discounts as deemed appropriate for selling costs are factored into the appraised value in arriving at fair value.


•	Discounted cash flows – in limited cases, discounted cash flows may be used on projects in which the collateral is liquidated to reduce the borrowings outstanding, and is used to validate collateral values derived from other approaches.

Collateral on certain impaired loans is not limited to real estate, and may consist of accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other business assets. Estimated fair values are determined based on borrowers’ financial statements, inventory ledgers, accounts receivable agings or appraisals from individuals with knowledge in the business. Stated balances are generally discounted for the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. In determining fair value, liquidation discounts are applied to this collateral based on existing loan evaluation policies.

The Company distinguishes Substandard loans on both an impaired and nonimpaired basis, as it places less emphasis on a loan’s classification, and increased reliance on whether the loan was performing in accordance with the contractual terms. A Substandard classification does not automatically meet the definition of “impaired.” A Substandard loan is one that is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Extensions of credit classified as Substandard have well-defined weaknesses which may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of Substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual extensions of credit classified as Substandard. As a result, the Company’s methodology includes an evaluation of certain accruing commercial real estate, acquisition and development and commercial and industrial loans rated Substandard to be collectively evaluated for impairment as opposed to evaluating these loans individually for impairment. Although we believe these loans have well

Table of Contents

defined weaknesses and meet the definition of Substandard, they are generally performing and management has concluded that it is likely it will be able to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Larger groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Generally, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

The following table summarizes impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not required as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The recorded investment in loans excludes accrued interest receivable due to insignificance. Related allowances established generally pertain to those loans in which loan forbearance agreements were in the process of being negotiated or updated appraisals were pending, and the partial charge-off will be recorded when final information is received.

There were no restructured loans for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 that were modified as TDRs within the previous twelve months which were in payment default.

The loans presented above were considered TDRs as the result of the Company agreeing to below-market interest rates given the risk of the transaction, allowing the loan to remain on interest-only status, or agreeing to a reduction in interest rates, in order to give the borrowers an opportunity to improve their cash flows. For TDRs in default of their original terms, impairment is generally determined on a collateral-dependent approach, except for accruing residential mortgage TDRs, which are generally determined on the discounted cash flow approach. Certain loans modified during a period may no longer be outstanding at the end of the period if the loan was paid off.

No additional commitments have been made to borrowers whose loans are considered TDRs.

The Company maintains the ALL at a level believed to be adequate by management for probable incurred credit losses. The ALL is established and maintained through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Quarterly, management assesses the adequacy of the ALL utilizing a defined methodology, which considers specific credit evaluation of impaired loans as discussed above, past loan loss historical experience, and qualitative factors. Management believes the approach properly addresses the requirements of ASC Subtopic 310-10-35 for loans individually identified as impaired, and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, and other bank regulatory guidance.

In connection with its quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the ALL, management continually reviews its methodology to determine if it continues to properly address the risk in the loan portfolio. For each loan class presented above, general allowances are provided for loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, which is based on quantitative factors, principally historical loss trends for the respective loan class, adjusted for qualitative factors. In addition, an adjustment to the historical loss factors is made to account for delinquency and other potential risk not elsewhere defined within the ALL methodology.

In addition to this quantitative analysis, adjustments to the ALL requirements are allocated on loans collectively evaluated for impairment based on additional qualitative factors, including:

Nature and Volume of Loans – Factors considered include loan growth in the current and subsequent quarters based on the Company’s targeted growth and strategic plan, coupled with the types of loans booked based on risk management and credit culture, the number of exceptions to loan policy, and supervisory loan to value exceptions.

Concentrations of Credit and Changes within Credit Concentrations – Factors considered include the composition of the Company’s overall portfolio and management’s evaluation related to concentration risk management and the inherent risk associated with the concentrations identified.

Underwriting Standards and Recovery Practices – Factors considered include changes to underwriting standards and perceived impact on anticipated losses, trends in the number of exceptions to loan policy, supervisory loan to value exceptions, and administration of loan recovery practices.

Delinquency Trends – Factors considered include the delinquency percentages noted in the portfolio relative to economic conditions, severity of the delinquencies, and whether the ratios are trending upwards or downwards.

Classified Loans Trends – Factors considered include the internal loan ratings of the portfolio, the severity of the ratings, whether the loan segment’s ratings show a more favorable or less favorable trend, and underlying market conditions and their impact on the collateral values securing the loans.

Experience, Ability and Depth of Management/Lending staff – Factors considered include the years of experience of senior and middle management and the lending staff, turnover of the staff, and instances of repeat criticisms of ratings.

Quality of Loan Review – Factors considered include the years of experience of the loan review staff, in-house versus outsourced provider of review, turnover of staff and the perceived quality of their work in relation to other external information.

National and Local Economic Conditions – Factors considered include ratios and factors considered include trends in the consumer price index, unemployment rates, housing price index, housing statistics compared to the prior year, bankruptcy rates, regulatory and legal environment risks and competition.

The provision for income taxes differs from that computed by applying statutory rates to income before income taxes primarily due to the effects of tax-exempt income, non-deductible expenses and tax credits.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had low-income housing credit carryforwards that expire through 2036.

NOTE 5. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company maintains share-based compensation plans under the shareholder-approved 2011 Plan. The purpose of the share-based compensation plans is to provide officers, employees, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company with additional incentive to further the success of the Company. Under the 2011 Plan, 381,920 shares of the common stock of the Company were reserved to be issued. At September 30, 2017, 81,280 shares were available to be issued under the 2011 Plan.

The 2011 Plan incentive awards may consist of grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock units and performance shares. All employees of the Company and its present or future subsidiaries, and members of the Board of Directors of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, are eligible to participate in the 2011 Plan. The 2011 Plan allows for the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to determine the type of incentive to be awarded, its term, manner of exercise, vesting of awards and restrictions on shares. Generally, awards are nonqualified under the IRC, unless the awards are deemed to be incentive awards to employees at the Compensation Committee’s discretion.

NOTE 6. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. Banks are being phased in through January 1, 2019. Under these rules, the Company must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios in order to avoid restrictions on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases and paying discretionary bonuses. The capital conservation buffer for the Company was 0.625% for 2016 and is 1.25% for 2017, with a total buffer of 2.50% being phased in through 2019. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes at September 30, 2017 the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as are asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2017, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

The following table presents capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

In September 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 5% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately 416,000 shares, in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. When and if appropriate, repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by management. Share repurchases may not occur and may be discontinued at any time. At September 30, 2017, 82,725 shares had been repurchased under the program at a total cost of $1,438,000, or $17.38 per share.

On October 25, 2017, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per common share, to be paid on November 15, 2017 to shareholders of record at November 6, 2017.

Basic earnings per share	$	0.34	$	0.18	$	1.00	$	0.58
Diluted earnings per share	0.34		0.18		0.98		0.58

Average outstanding stock options of 30,000 and 81,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and of 42,000 and 93,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, were not included in the computation of earnings per share because the effect was antidilutive, due to the exercise price exceeding the average market price. The dilutive effect of share-based compensation in each period above relates principally to restricted stock awards.

NOTE 8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH 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 financial needs of its customers or to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private

borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments when deemed necessary by management. The liability, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued was not material.

The Company currently maintains a reserve in other liabilities totaling $905,000 and $784,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for off-balance sheet credit exposures that currently are not funded, based on historical loss experience of the related loan class. The following table presents the net amount expensed for the off-balance sheet credit exposures reserve for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Company sells loans to the FHLB of Chicago as part of its MPF Program. Under the terms of the MPF Program, there is limited recourse back to the Company for loans that do not perform in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Each loan that is sold under the program is “credit enhanced” such that the individual loan’s rating is raised to a minimum “BBB,” as determined by the FHLB of Chicago. The total outstanding balance of loans sold under the MPF Program was $33,561,000 and $35,678,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, with limited recourse back to the Company on these loans of $1,135,000 and $1,029,000, respectively. Many of the loans sold under the MPF Program have primary mortgage insurance, which reduces the Company’s overall exposure. The net amount expensed (recovered) for the Company's estimate of losses under its recourse exposure for loans foreclosed, or in the process of foreclosure, is recorded in other expenses. The following table presents the net amounts expensed (recovered) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

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

Level 2 – significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – at least one significant unobservable input that reflects a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Table of Contents

In instances in which multiple levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, hierarchy classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for instruments measured on a recurring basis:

Securities

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, securities are classified within Level 2 and fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other 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. All of the Company’s securities are classified as available for sale.

The Company had no fair value liabilities measured on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for these financial assets.

Table of Contents

Impaired Loans

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management and based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, will not be collected. The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans for all loan classes can be based on either the observable market price of the loan, the fair value of the collateral, or discounted cash flows based on a market rate of interest for performing TDRs. For collateral-dependent loans, fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing the loan, less estimated costs to sell. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The value of the real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data (Level 2). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction, or if management adjusts the appraisal value, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3). Impaired loans with an allocation to the ALL are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the consolidated statements of income. Specific allocations to the ALL or partial charge-offs totaled $1,439,000 and $1,967,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The following table presents changes in the fair value for impaired loans still held at September 30, considered in the determination of the provision for loan losses, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Changes in fair value of impaired loans still held	$	43	$	684	$	41	$	815

Foreclosed Real Estate

OREO property acquired through foreclosure is initially recorded at the fair value of the property at the transfer date less estimated selling cost. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of its carrying value or the fair value less estimated selling cost. Fair value is usually determined based upon an independent third-party appraisal of the property or occasionally upon a recent sales offer. Specific charges to value OREO at the lower of cost or fair value on properties held at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 totaled $0 and $43,000. The following table presents changes in the fair value of OREO for properties still held at September 30, charged to real estate expenses, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Fair values of financial instruments

In addition to those disclosed above, the Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value for the indicated instruments:

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-Bearing Deposits with Banks

The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with banks approximate fair value.

Loans Held for Sale

LHFS are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. These loans typically consist of one-to-four family residential loans originated for sale into the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale.

Loans

For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair value is based on carrying value. Fair value for fixed rate loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered in the market for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Restricted Investment in Bank Stock

These investments are carried at cost. The Company is required to maintain minimum investment balances in these stocks, which are not actively traded and therefore have no readily determinable market value.

Deposits

The fair value disclosed for demand deposits is, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, the carrying amount). The carrying amount of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximates fair value at the reporting date. Fair value for fixed rate certificates of deposits and Individual Retirement Accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities on time deposits.

Short-Term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under Repurchase Agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Table of Contents

Long-Term Debt

Fair value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amounts of variable rate long-term borrowings approximates fair value at the reporting date.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

The Company generally does not charge commitment fees. Fees for standby letters of credit and other off-balance sheet instruments are not significant.

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

NOTE 10. CONTINGENCIES

The nature of the Company’s business generates a certain amount of litigation involving matters arising out of the ordinary course of business. Except as described below, in the opinion of management, there are no legal proceedings that might have a material effect on the results of operations, liquidity, or the financial position of the Company at this time.

On May 25, 2012, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority ("SEPTA") filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania against the Company, the Bank and certain current and former directors and executive officers (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaint alleged, among other things, that (i) in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 dated February 23, 2010 and its Prospectus Supplement dated March 23, 2010, and (ii) during the purported class period of March 24, 2010 through October 27, 2011, the Company issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s lending practices and financial results, including misleading statements concerning the stringent nature of the Bank’s credit practices and underwriting standards, the quality of its loan portfolio, and the intended use of the proceeds from the Company’s March 2010 public offering of common stock. The complaint asserted claims under Sections 11, 12(a) and 15 of the Securities Act, Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and sought class certification, unspecified money damages, interest, costs, fees and equitable or injunctive relief. Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), motions for appointment of Lead Plaintiff in this case were due by July 24, 2012. SEPTA was the sole movant and the Court appointed SEPTA Lead Plaintiff on August 20, 2012.

Pursuant to the PSLRA and the Court’s September 27, 2012 Order, SEPTA was given until October 26, 2012 to file an amended complaint and the Defendants until December 7, 2012 to file a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. SEPTA’s opposition to the Defendant’s motion to dismiss was originally due January 11, 2013. Under the PSLRA, discovery and all other proceedings in the case were stayed pending the Court’s ruling on the motion to dismiss. The September 27, 2012 Order specified that if the motion to dismiss were denied, the Court would schedule a conference to address discovery and the filing of a motion for class certification. On October 26, 2012, SEPTA filed an unopposed motion for enlargement of time to file its amended complaint in order to permit the parties and new defendants to be named in the amended complaint time to discuss plaintiff’s claims and defendants’ defenses. On October 26, 2012, the Court granted SEPTA’s motion, mooting its September 27, 2012 scheduling Order, and requiring SEPTA to file its amended complaint on or before January 16, 2013 or otherwise advise the Court of circumstances that required a further enlargement of time. On January 14, 2013, the Court granted SEPTA’s second unopposed motion for enlargement of time to file an amended complaint on or before March 22, 2013.

On March 4, 2013, SEPTA filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint expanded the list of defendants in the action to include the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the underwriters of the Company’s March 2010 public offering of common stock. In addition, among other things, the amended complaint extended the purported 1934 Exchange Act class period from March 15, 2010 through April 5, 2012. Pursuant to the Court’s March 28, 2013 Second Scheduling Order, on May 28, 2013 all defendants filed their motions to dismiss the amended complaint, and on July 22, 2013 SEPTA filed its “omnibus” opposition to all of the defendants’ motions to dismiss. On August 23, 2013, all defendants filed reply briefs in further support of their motions to dismiss. On December 5, 2013, the Court ordered oral argument on the Orrstown Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint to be heard on February 7, 2014. Oral argument on the pending motions to dismiss SEPTA’s amended complaint was held on April 29, 2014.

The Second Scheduling Order stayed all discovery in the case pending the outcome of the motions to dismiss, and informed the parties that, if required, a telephonic conference to address discovery and the filing of SEPTA’s motion for class certification would be scheduled after the Court’s ruling on the motions to dismiss.

On April 10, 2015, pursuant to Court order, all parties filed supplemental briefs addressing the impact of the United States Supreme Court’s March 24, 2015 decision in Omnicare, Inc. v. Laborers District Council Construction Industry Pension Fund on defendants’ motions to dismiss the amended complaint.

On June 22, 2015, in a 96-page Memorandum, the Court dismissed without prejudice SEPTA’s amended complaint against all defendants, finding that SEPTA failed to state a claim under either the Securities Act, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The Court ordered that, within 30 days, SEPTA either seek leave to amend its amended complaint, accompanied by the proposed amendment, or file a notice of its intention to stand on the amended complaint.

On July 22, 2015, SEPTA filed a motion for leave to amend under Local Rule 15.1, and attached a copy of its proposed second amended complaint to its motion. Many of the allegations of the proposed second amended complaint were essentially the same or similar to the allegations of the dismissed amended complaint. The proposed second amended complaint also alleged that the Orrstown Defendants did not publicly disclose certain alleged failures of internal controls over loan underwriting, risk management, and financial reporting during the period 2009 to 2012, in violation of the federal securities

Table of Contents

laws. On February 8, 2016, the Court granted SEPTA’s motion for leave to amend and SEPTA filed its second amended complaint that same day.

On February 25, 2016, the Court issued a scheduling Order directing: all defendants to file any motions to dismiss by March 18, 2016; SEPTA to file an omnibus opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss by April 8, 2016; and all defendants to file reply briefs in support of their motions to dismiss by April 22, 2016. Defendants timely filed their motions to dismiss the second amended complaint and the parties filed their briefs in accordance with the Court-ordered schedule, above. The February 25, 2016 Order stayed all discovery and other deadlines in the case (including the filing of SEPTA’s motion for class certification) pending the outcome of the motions to dismiss.

The allegations of SEPTA’s proposed second amended complaint disclosed the existence of a confidential, non-public, fact-finding inquiry regarding the Company being conducted by the SEC. As disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on September 27, 2016, on that date the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC resolving the investigation of accounting and related matters at the Company for the periods ended June 30, 2010, to December 31, 2011. As part of the settlement of the SEC’s administrative proceedings and pursuant to the cease-and-desist order, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, the Company, its Chief Executive Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer, its former Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, and its Chief Accounting Officer, agreed to pay civil money penalties to the SEC. The Company agreed to pay a civil money penalty of $1,000,000. The Company had previously established a reserve for that amount which was expensed in the second fiscal quarter of 2016. In the settlement agreement with the SEC, the Company also agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Securities Act Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) and Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B), and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-13 promulgated thereunder.

On September 27, 2016, the Orrstown Defendants filed with the Court a Notice of Subsequent Event in Further Support of their Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, regarding the settlement with the SEC. The Notice attached a copy of the SEC’s cease-and-desist order and briefly described what the Company believed were the most salient terms of the neither-admit-nor-deny settlement. On September 29, 2016, SEPTA filed a Response to the Notice, in which SEPTA argued that the settlement with the SEC did not support dismissal of the second amended complaint.

On December 7, 2016, the Court issued an Order and Memorandum granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motions to dismiss SEPTA’s second amended complaint. The Court granted the motions to dismiss the Securities Act claims against all defendants, and granted the motions to dismiss the Exchange Act section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 claims against all defendants except Orrstown Financial Services, Inc., Orrstown Bank, Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., Bradley S. Everly, and Jeffrey W. Embly. The Court also denied the motions to dismiss the Exchange Act section 20(a) claims against Quinn, Everly, and Embly.

On January 31, 2017, the Court entered a Case Management Order establishing the schedule for the litigation and, on August 15, 2017, it entered a revised Order that, among other things, set the following deadlines: all fact discovery closes on March 1, 2018, and SEPTA’s motion for class certification is due the same day; expert merits discovery closes May 30, 2018; summary judgment motions are due by June 26, 2018; the mandatory pretrial and settlement conference is set for December 11, 2018; and trial is scheduled to begin on January 7, 2019. Document discovery has begun in the case and is ongoing. No depositions have yet been scheduled.

The Company believes that the allegations of SEPTA’s second amended complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against those claims. It is not possible at this time to estimate reasonably possible losses, or even a range of reasonably possible losses, in connection with the litigation. The Company has incurred indemnification costs, totaling $508,000 and $553,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, with several professional service providers in connection with the SEPTA litigation. These costs are included in legal fees in the consolidated statement of income.

NOTES:	(1) Yields and interest income on tax-exempt assets have been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate.

(2) For yield calculation purposes, nonaccruing loans are included in the average loan balance.

Net interest income, the difference between interest income and fees on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, is the primary component of the Company’s revenue. Interest-earning assets include loans and AFS securities and federal funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities include deposits and borrowed funds. To compare tax-exempt yields to taxable yields, amounts were adjusted to pretax equivalents based on a 34% federal corporate tax rate.

Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the composition of those assets and liabilities. Net interest spread and net interest margin are two common statistics related to changes in net interest income. Net interest spread represents the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets. Through the use of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and shareholders' equity, the net interest margin exceeds the net interest spread, as these funding sources are noninterest-bearing.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $1,994,000 to $11,683,000 from $9,689,000 in the corresponding period in 2016. The principal drivers of the increase were an increase in the average balance of loans and securities and average rates earned on them, partially offset by a higher average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 12 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Taxable-equivalent interest income earned on loans increased $1,689,000 from $8,860,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $10,549,000 for the same period in 2017. The increase resulted from growth in the average loan balance from $844,547,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $954,943,000 for the same period in 2017, coupled with a 21 basis point increase in the yield on loans to 4.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. An increased rate environment in 2017, due to three separate 25 basis point increases in the prime lending rate occurring in late 2016, March 2017 and again in late June 2017, contributed to the increase in yield.

Taxable-equivalent securities interest income increased $866,000 to $3,073,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $2,207,000 for the same period in 2016. The average balance of securities increased from $358,259,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to $422,045,000 for the same period in 2017. The increase in taxable-equivalent interest income on securities was also attributable to a higher composition of tax-free securities with higher taxable-equivalent yields, as well as increases in GSE residential CMOs, also with higher yields, and resulted in an after-tax yield earned on securities of 2.89% in 2017 compared with 2.45% for the same period in 2016.

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $2,017,000, an increase of $597,000, from $1,420,000 in the same period in 2016. The Company has been able to gather both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposit relationships from enhanced cash management offerings as it increases its commercial relationships. The Company’s cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.56% for the same period in 2016, reflecting the increased rate environment in 2017. The cost of funds for deposits has increased at a somewhat slower pace than the yields earned on interest-earning assets as the market has been slow to respond to interest rate changes for deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $100,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2017. A $250,000 provision was recorded for the same period in 2016. In calculating the required provision for loan losses, both quantitative and qualitative factors were considered in the determination of the adequacy of the ALL. Net charge-offs and loan growth resulted in the determination that a provision was required. Favorable historical charge-off data, combined with stable economic and market conditions, moderated the amount of provision needed.

The following factors contributed to the more significant changes in noninterest income between the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Table of Contents


•	Service charges on deposit accounts income has continued to increase in 2017 as a result of new product offerings and increased activity associated with deposit growth.


•	Increased trust department income has been realized throughout 2017 from favorable market conditions and the addition of an office in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Wheatland, which was acquired in December 2016, contributed approximately 40% of the increased revenue in the third quarter of 2017.


•	Mortgage banking income decreased in the third quarter comparison of 2017 with 2016. Refinance activity generally decreases as interest rates increase. Other factors that influenced the change in mortgage banking income include some slight compression in sales profit margins, as well as the effect of retaining a portion of mortgage production for the Company's loan portfolio in 2017 over 2016.


•	Other line items within noninterest income showed fluctuations between 2017 and 2016 attributable to normal business operations.

Securities gains totaled $533,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $0 for the same period in 2016. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company took advantage of market conditions to reposition part of its investment portfolio at a gain to improve responsiveness of the portfolio to increases in short-term interest rates.

The following factors contributed to the more significant changes in noninterest expenses between the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

•

The salaries and employee benefits increase includes the impact in 2017 of additional employees, including new customer-facing employees in targeted expansion markets, throughout 2016 and 2017. Higher costs in 2017 also include annual merit increases awarded in 2017, increased medical benefit costs for the expanded workforce and increased claim activity, incentive compensation increases and additional share-based awards granted in 2017.


•	Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses reflect a full period of expense for new facilities acquired in 2016 and earlier in 2017 in Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin and Lancaster counties, Pennsylvania, as well as a new branch opened in Lancaster county in the third quarter of 2017.


•	Advertising and bank promotions expense in 2016 included higher expenses related to expansion activities.

Table of Contents


•	Legal expenses in the third quarter of 2017 include indemnification costs totaling $508 thousand incurred with several professional service providers in connection with previously disclosed outstanding litigation. Additional costs may be incurred as the litigation progresses.


•	Other line items within noninterest expenses showed fluctuations between 2017 and 2016 attributable to normal business operations.

The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 79.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with 83.2% for the same period in 2016. The lower, or more favorable, ratio between the two periods was primarily the result of the growth in net interest income which outpaced the change in noninterest expenses. The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense as a percentage of taxable-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, excluding securities gains, intangible asset amortization, and other real estate income and expenses.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $376,000, an effective tax rate of 11.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $125,000, an effective tax rate of 8.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The Company’s effective tax rate is significantly less than the federal statutory rate of 34.0% principally due to tax-free income, including interest earned on tax-free loans and securities and earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance policies; federal income tax credits; and non-tax deductible expenses. While the Company has benefited from a larger percentage of tax-free income and additional federal income tax credits in 2017’s results compared with 2016, tax expense in the third quarter of 2016 was reduced due to the Company's reassessment of its estimated annual effective tax rate, which resulted in changing the base federal statutory rate from 35% to 34% in expectation that the Company would not be in the higher tax bracket.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016

Summary

The Company recorded net income of $8,084,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with net income of $4,700,000 for the same period in 2016.

Noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased moderately between the periods, with increases in trust and investment management income partially offset by decreases in mortgage banking activities income. Investment securities gains totaled $1,190,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $1,420,000 for the same period in 2016. Noninterest expenses totaled $37,650,000 and $35,664,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

NOTES:	(1) Yields and interest income on tax-exempt assets have been computed on a fully taxable equivalent basis assuming a 34% tax rate.

(2) For yield calculation purposes, nonaccruing loans are included in the average loan balance.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, taxable-equivalent basis net interest income increased $5,629,000 to $33,888,000 from $28,259,000 in the corresponding period in 2016. Similar to the comparison of the third quarter of 2017 with the third quarter of 2016, the principal drivers of the increase were an increase in the average balance of loans and securities and average rates earned on them, partially offset by a higher average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and an 8 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Taxable-equivalent interest income earned on loans increased $4,285,000 from $25,751,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $30,036,000 for the same period in 2017. The increase resulted from growth in the average loan balance from $821,528,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $926,556,000 for the same period in 2017, coupled with a 14 basis point increase in the yield on loans to 4.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. As noted previously, the

Table of Contents

prime lending rate increased 25 basis points in late 2016, in March 2017 and again in late June 2017 and contributed to the increased yield.

Taxable-equivalent securities interest income increased $2,696,000 to $9,070,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $6,374,000 for the same period in 2016. The average balance of securities increased from $350,975,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $418,095,000 for the same period in 2017. The increase in taxable-equivalent interest income on securities was also attributable to a higher composition of tax-free securities with higher taxable-equivalent yields, as well as increases in GSE residential CMOs, also with higher yields, and resulted in an after-tax yield earned on securities of 2.90% in 2017 compared with 2.43% for the same period in 2016.

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $5,360,000, an increase of $1,308,000, from $4,052,000 in the same period in 2016. In comparing 2017 with 2016, the Company has been able to gather both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposit relationships from enhanced cash management offerings as it increases its commercial relationships. The Company’s cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 0.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 0.54% for the same period in 2016, reflecting the increased rate environment in 2017. The cost of funds for deposits has increased at a slower pace than the yields earned on interest-earning assets as the market has been slower to respond to interest rate changes for deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $200,000 provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with a $250,000 provision recorded for the same period in 2016. In calculating the required provision for loan losses, both quantitative and qualitative factors were considered in the determination of the adequacy of the ALL. Net charge-offs and loan growth resulted in the determination that a provision was required. Favorable historical charge-off data, combined with stable economic and market conditions, moderated the amount of provision needed.

The following factors contributed to the more significant changes in noninterest income between the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These factors are consistent with those noted in comparing changes between the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.


•	Increased service charges on deposit accounts income has resulted from new product offerings and increased activity associated with deposit growth.


•	Increased trust department income has been realized throughout 2017 from favorable market conditions and the addition of an office in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Wheatland, which was acquired in December 2016, contributed approximately 43% of the increased revenue in 2017.

Table of Contents


•	The decrease in mortgage banking activities reflects a combination of overall decreased refinance activity as interest rates have increased, some slight compression in sales profit margins the Company has experienced and the portion of mortgage production retained for the Company's loan portfolio.


•	Other line items within noninterest income showed fluctuations between 2017 and 2016 attributable to normal business operations.

Securities gains totaled $1,190,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $1,420,000 for the same period in 2016. Overall, asset/liability management strategies resulted in net gains on sales of securities, as market and interest rate conditions in the periods presented opportunities to accelerate earnings on securities, while meeting funding and/or other requirements of the Company, including, in the third quarter of 2017, the Company's repositioning of part of its investment portfolio at a gain to improve responsiveness of the portfolio to increases in short-term interest rates.

Noninterest Expenses

The following table compares noninterest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The following factors contributed to the more significant changes in noninterest expenses between the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The factors noted are consistent with those noted in comparing changes between the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

•


•	Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses reflect a full period of expense for new facilities acquired in 2016 in Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin and Lancaster counties, Pennsylvania, as well as increases attributable to new facilities acquired in 2017 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.


•	Advertising and bank promotions expense in 2016 included higher expenses related to expansion activities.


•	The FDIC reached its 1.15% of insured funds target in June 2016, resulting in lower assessments. FDIC insurance expense in 2017 benefited from that lower assessment applied to our increased deposit base.

Table of Contents


•	In 2016, the Company agreed to pay a $1,000,000 civil money penalty to the Securities and Exchange Commission to settle administrative proceedings.

•

Resolution of the SEC administrative proceedings in 2016 generally resulted in lower legal fees incurred in 2017. However, the Company incurred certain indemnification costs totaling $553 thousand, which is included in legal fees, with several professional service providers in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in connection with previously disclosed outstanding litigation. Additional costs may be incurred as the litigation progresses.


•	Principal contributors to lower other operating expenses in 2017 were decreases in provision expense for off-balance sheet reserves on loans that have been committed to borrowers, but not funded, resulting from changes in qualitative factors similar to those used in the determination of the provision for loan losses, and reduced consumer fraud expenses.


•	Other line items within noninterest expenses showed fluctuations between 2017 and 2016 attributable to normal business operations.

The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 78.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with 82.7% for the same period in 2016. The lower, or more favorable, ratio between the two periods was primarily the result of the growth in net interest and noninterest income, which outpaced the change in noninterest expenses. The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense as a percentage of taxable-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, excluding securities gains, intangible asset amortization, other real estate income and expenses and the regulatory settlement expense recorded in 2016.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $1,316,000, an effective tax rate of 14.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with $991,000, an effective tax rate of 17.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company’s effective tax rate is significantly less than the federal statutory rate of 34.0% principally due to tax-free income, including interest earned on tax-free loans and securities and earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance policies; federal income tax credits; and non-tax deductible expenses. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, results principally from a larger percentage of tax-free income and additional federal income tax credits in the current year’s results, coupled with a larger percentage of non-tax deductible expenses in 2016. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company reassessed its estimated annual effective tax rate and changed the base federal statutory rate from 35% to 34% in expectation that the Company would not be in the higher tax bracket, making the statutory base rates comparable between 2017 and 2016.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

A substantial amount of time is devoted by management to overseeing the investment of funds in loans and securities and the formulation of policies directed toward the profitability and minimization of risk associated with such investments.

AFS Securities

The Company utilizes AFS securities as a tool for managing interest rate risk, to enhance income through interest and dividend income, to provide liquidity, and to provide collateral for certain deposits and borrowings. At September 30, 2017, AFS securities totaled $421,455,000, an increase of $21,301,000, from December 31, 2016’s balance of $400,154,000.

In 2017, the Company realized gains totaling $1,190,000 from sales of investments. In the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company repositioned a portion of its investment portfolio in expectation of a continued increase in short-term interest rates. Gains totaling $533,000 were realized in the quarter and sale proceeds of $103,666,000 were principally reinvested in the portfolio. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company sold state and political subdivision investments at a gain of $654,000 with sale proceeds of $23,581,000 principally used to fund loan demand. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company sold a substantial portion of its U.S. Government Agency investments at a net loss of $70,000, which was offset by gains on other investment sales during the quarter. The Company sold these securities because it expected the interest rate yield curve to continue to flatten and did not believe that these U.S. Government Agency investments would perform as well in that environment. Proceeds from sales during the first quarter totaled $35,072,000, which were redeployed in higher-yielding investment securities.

Loan Portfolio

The Company offers various products to meet the credit needs of our borrowers, principally consisting of commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and retail loans consisting of loans secured by residential properties, and to a

Table of Contents

lesser extent, installment loans. No loans are extended to non-domestic borrowers or governments.

The risks associated with lending activities differ among the various loan classes, and are subject to the impact of changes in interest rates, market conditions of collateral securing the loans, and general economic conditions. All of these factors may adversely impact the borrower’s ability to repay its loans, and impact the associated collateral. See Note 3, Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses, to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information," for a description of the Company’s loan classes and differing levels of credit risk associated with each class.

The following table presents the loan portfolio, excluding residential LHFS, broken out by classes as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The loan portfolio at September 30, 2017 reflected an increase of $97,829,000, or 11.1% (14.8% annualized), from December 31, 2016. Growth was experienced in nearly all loan segments from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017, with the largest dollar increase in the commercial real estate segment, which grew by $48,812,000, or 11.4% (15.2% annualized), representing approximately one-half of the portfolio growth for the period. The residential mortgage and commercial and industrial segments also showed substantial growth of $23,776,000 (8.7% or 11.6% annualized) and $19,533,000 (22.1% or 29.5% annualized), respectively, during this period. The Company continues to grow in both core markets and new markets through expansion of its sales force and by capitalizing on market disruption caused by the acquisition of some of our competitors by larger institutions. The Company has placed an emphasis on growing commercial and industrial loans in 2017 to increase diversification of its loan portfolio. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company also increased diversification of its loan portfolio with the purchase of approximately $5 million of automobile financing loans at returns higher than comparable cash flows in the investment portfolio. These purchased loans are included in installment and other loans.

Asset Quality

Risk Elements

The Company’s loan portfolio is subject to varying degrees of credit risk. We mitigate credit risk through our underwriting standards, on-going credit review, and monitoring of asset quality measures. Additionally, loan portfolio diversification, limiting exposure to a single industry or borrower, and requiring collateral also mitigate our risk of credit loss.

The loan portfolio consists principally of loans to borrowers in south central Pennsylvania and Washington County, Maryland. As the majority of loans are concentrated in this geographic region, a substantial portion of the borrowers' ability to honor their obligations may be affected by the level of economic activity in the market area.

Table of Contents

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate. In addition, restructured loans still accruing and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing are also deemed to be risk assets. For all loan classes, generally the accrual of interest income ceases when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more and collateral is inadequate to cover principal and interest or immediately if, in the opinion of management, full collection is unlikely. Interest will continue to accrue on loans past due 90 days or more if the collateral is adequate to cover principal and interest, and the loan is in the process of collection. Interest accrued, but not collected, as of the date of placement on nonaccrual status, is generally reversed and charged against interest income, unless fully collateralized. Subsequent payments received are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of principal. Loans are returned to accrual status, for all loan classes, when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, the loans have performed in accordance with the contractual terms of the note for a reasonable period of time, generally six months, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured. Past due status is based on contract terms of the loan.

Loans, the terms of which are modified, are classified as TDRs if a concession was granted for legal or economic reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties. Concessions granted under a TDR typically involve a temporary deferral of scheduled loan payments, an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date, temporary reduction in interest rates, or below market rates. If a modification occurs while the loan is on accruing status, it will continue to accrue interest under the modified terms. Nonaccrual TDRs are restored to accrual status if scheduled principal and interest payments, under the modified terms, are current for six months after modification, and the borrower continues to demonstrate its ability to meet the modified terms. TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment if they have been restructured during the most recent calendar year, or if they are not performing according to their modified terms.

The following table presents the Company’s risk elements, including information concerning the aggregate balances of nonaccrual, restructured loans still accruing, loans past due 90 days or more, and OREO as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2016. Relevant asset quality ratios are also presented.

Total nonperforming and other risk assets decreased modestly from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 and by $7,512,000, or 49.4% from September 30, 2016. The decrease from September 30, 2016 is principally due to the sale in the fourth quarter of 2016 of a loan with a carrying balance of $5,946,000 to a third party.

The Company takes partial charge-offs on collateral-dependent loans for which the carrying value exceeded their estimated fair value, as determined by the most recent appraisal adjusted for current (within the quarter) conditions less costs to dispose. Impairment reserves remain in those situations in which updated appraisals are pending, and represent management’s estimate of potential loss, or on restructured loans that are still accruing, and the impairment is based on discounted cash flows.

At September 30, 2017, none of the relationships deemed to be impaired had an outstanding balance in excess of $1,000,000 and a significant portion (71.0%) had recorded balances of less than $250,000, which reduces the likelihood of a large loss on any particular loan.

Internal loan reviews are completed annually on all commercial relationships with a committed loan balance in excess of $500,000, which includes confirmation of risk rating by the internally designated credit authority. In addition, all relationships greater than $250,000 rated Substandard, Doubtful or Loss are reviewed and corresponding risk ratings are reaffirmed by the Bank's Problem Loan Committee, with subsequent reporting to the ERM Committee.

In its individual loan impairment analysis, the Company determines the extent of any full or partial charge-offs that may be required, or any reserves that may be needed. The determination of the Company’s charge-offs or impairment reserve includes an evaluation of the outstanding loan balance and the related collateral securing the credit. Through a combination of collateral securing the loans and partial charge-offs taken to date, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for the potential losses that it may incur on these relationships as of September 30, 2017. However, over time, additional information

Table of Contents

may become known that could result in increased reserve allocations or, alternatively, it may be deemed that the reserve allocations exceed those that are needed.

The Company’s OREO totaled $1,258,000 at September 30, 2017 and consisted of four properties owned by the Company, one of which was a commercial property carried at $816,000, and three residential properties totaling $442,000. The increase in OREO from $346,000 at December 31, 2016 was principally the result of the commercial property, which was added during the first quarter of 2017 and migrated to foreclosed real estate from a nonaccrual loan. All properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less costs to dispose.

At September 30, 2017, the Company believes the value of OREO represents the properties' fair values, but if the real estate market changes, additional charges may be needed.

Credit Risk Management

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains the ALL at a level believed adequate by management for probable incurred credit losses. The allowance is established and maintained through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Quarterly, management assesses the adequacy of the ALL utilizing a defined methodology, which considers specific credit evaluation of impaired loans, past loan loss historical experience, and qualitative factors. Management believes the approach properly addresses the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually identified as impaired, and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, and other bank regulatory guidance.

The ALL is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. A description of the methodology for establishing the allowance and provision for loan losses and related procedures in establishing the appropriate level of reserve is included in Note 3, Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses, to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information."

Potential problem loans are defined as performing loans which have characteristics that cause management to have concerns as to the ability of the borrower to perform under present loan repayment terms, and which may result in the reporting of these loans as non-performing loans in the future. Generally, management feels that Substandard loans that are currently performing, and not considered impaired, result in some doubt as to the borrower’s ability to continue to perform under the terms of the loan, and represent potential problem loans. Additionally, the Special Mention classification is intended to be a temporary classification, and is reflective of loans that have potential weaknesses that may, if not monitored or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s position at some future date. Special Mention loans represent an elevated risk, but their weakness does not yet justify a more severe, or classified rating. These loans require follow-up by lenders on the cause of the potential weakness, and once resolved, the loan classification may be downgraded to Substandard or, alternatively, could be upgraded to Pass.

The ALL at September 30, 2017, decreased $4,000 from December 31, 2016, due to net charge-offs for the period largely offset by the provision for loan losses. The ALL to nonperforming loans ratio was 243.3% at September 30, 2017 compared with 181.4% at December 31, 2016, and the ALL to nonperforming loans and restructured loans still accruing ratio was 198.3% at September 30, 2017, compared with 160.2% at December 31, 2016. Management believes the ALL to total loans ratio remains adequate at 1.30% at September 30, 2017. Classified loans, which are loans rated Substandard, Doubtful or Loss, totaled $21,326,000 at September 30, 2017, or 2.2% of total loans outstanding, and decreased from $22,898,000 at December 31, 2016, or 2.6% of loans outstanding.

Net charge-offs totaled $80,000 and $204,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with net recoveries of $160,000 and $32,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs to average loans outstanding was 0.03% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with (0.08)% and (0.01)% for the same periods in 2016. Net charge-offs and loan growth resulted in the determination that a provision for loan losses of $100,000 was required in the third quarter quarter of 2017, bringing the total provision for loan losses to $200,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Favorable historical charge-off data, combined with stable economic and market conditions, moderated the amount of provision needed. Despite such favorable historical charge-off data and improved asset quality ratios, the growth the Company has experienced in its loan portfolio may result in the need for additional provisions for loan losses in future quarters.

The ALL allocations presented above represent reserve allocations on loan balances outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. In addition to the reserve allocations on impaired loans noted above, 17 loans, with aggregate outstanding general ledger principal balances of $2,213,000, have had cumulative partial charge-offs to the ALL recorded totaling $1,389,000 at September 30, 2017. As updated appraisals were received on collateral-dependent loans, partial charge-offs were taken to the extent the loans’ principal balance exceeded their fair value.

Management believes the allocation of the ALL between the various loan segments adequately reflects the probable incurred credit losses in each portfolio. Management re-evaluates and makes certain enhancements to its methodology used to establish a reserve to better reflect the risks inherent in the different segments of the portfolio, particularly in light of changes in levels of charge-offs with noticeable differences between the different loan segments. Management believes these enhancements to the ALL methodology improve the accuracy of quantifying losses presently incurred in the portfolio. Management charges actual loan losses to the reserve and bases the provision for loan losses on the overall analysis taking the methodology into account.

The unallocated portion of the ALL reflects estimated probable incurred losses within the portfolio that have not been identified to specific loans or portfolio segments. This reserve results due to risk of error in the specific and general reserve allocation, other potential exposure in the loan portfolio, variances in management’s assessment of national and local economic conditions and other factors management believes appropriate at the time. The unallocated portion of the allowance increased from $414,000 at December 31, 2016 to $521,000 at September 30, 2017 and represents 4.1% of the ALL balance at September 30, 2017 compared with 3.2% at December 31, 2016.

While management believes the Company’s ALL is adequate based on information currently available, future adjustments to the reserve and enhancements to the methodology may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, regulatory guidance, or management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies or loss rates.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $1,216,727,000 at September 30, 2017, an increase of $64,275,000, or 5.6%, from $1,152,452,000 at December 31, 2016. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $13,734,000, or 9.1%, from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 and totaled $164,481,000. Interest-bearing deposits totaled $1,052,246,000 at September 30, 2017, an increase of $50,541,000, or 5.0% from the $1,001,705,000 balance at December 31, 2016. The Company has continued to gather both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposit relationships from enhanced cash management offerings as its expanded sales force increases its commercial relationships. Deposit growth in the first nine months of 2017 has been used to fund growth in the loan and investment portfolios.

Shareholders' Equity, Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Matters

The management of capital in a regulated financial services company must properly balance return on equity to its shareholders while maintaining sufficient levels of capital and related risk-based regulatory capital ratios to satisfy statutory regulatory requirements. The Company’s capital management strategies have historically been developed to provide attractive rates of returns to its shareholders, while maintaining a “well capitalized” position as defined by our regulators.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $144,384,000 at September 30, 2017, an increase of $9,525,000 or 7.1%, from $134,859,000 at December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily the result of net income of $8,084,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a change in net unrealized gains/losses in AOCI, net of taxes, of $2,745,000 and offset by dividends declared on common stock of $2,489,000.

Capital Adequacy. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Management believes, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Bank was considered well capitalized under applicable banking regulations. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Although applicable to the Bank, prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies, including financial holding companies.

Note 6, Shareholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1, "Financial Information," includes a table presenting capital amounts and ratios for the Company and the Bank at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company routinely evaluates its capital levels in light of its risk profile to assess its capital needs. In addition to the minimum capital ratio requirement and minimum capital ratio to be well capitalized presented in the referenced table in Note 6, the Company and the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer as more fully described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, Item 1 - Business, under the topic Basel III Capital Rules. At September 30, 2017, the Company's and the Bank's capital conservation buffer, based on the most restrictive Total Capital to risk weighted assets capital ratio, was 5.5% and 5.1%, which is above the phase in requirements of 1.25% for December 31, 2017.

Liquidity

The primary functions of asset/liability management are to ensure adequate liquidity and manage the Company’s sensitivity to changing interest rates. Liquidity management involves our ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Our primary sources of funds are deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities, the sale of mortgage loans and borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk comprises exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market rate or price risks. For domestic banks, including the Company, the majority of market risk is related to interest rate risk. Interest rate sensitivity management requires the maintenance of an appropriate balance between reward, in the form of net interest margin, and risk as measured by the amount of earnings and value at risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure to fluctuations in the Company’s future earnings (earnings at risk) and value (value at risk) resulting from changes in interest rates. This exposure results from differences between the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that reprice within a specified time period as a result of scheduled maturities, scheduled and unscheduled repayments, the propensity of borrowers and depositors to react to changes in their economic interests, and security and contractual interest rate changes.

Management attempts to manage the level of repricing and maturity mismatch through its asset/liability management process so that fluctuations in net interest income are maintained within policy limits across a range of market conditions while satisfying liquidity and capital requirements. Management recognizes that a certain amount of interest rate risk is inherent, appropriate and necessary to ensure the Company’s profitability. Thus, the goal of interest rate risk management is to evaluate the amount of reward for taking risk and adjusting both the size and composition of the balance sheet relative to the level of reward available for taking risk.

Management endeavors to control the exposure to changes in interest rates by understanding, reviewing and making decisions based on its risk position. The Company primarily uses its securities portfolio, FHLB advances and brokered deposits to manage its interest rate risk position. Additionally, pricing, promotion and product development activities are directed in an effort to emphasize the loan and deposit term or repricing characteristics that best meet current interest rate risk objectives. At present, we do not use hedging instruments for risk management, but we do evaluate them and may use them in the future.

The asset/liability committee operates under management policies, approved by the Board of Directors, which define guidelines and limits on the level of risk.

The Company uses simulation analysis to assess earnings at risk and net present value analysis to assess value at risk. These methods allow management to regularly monitor both the direction and magnitude of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure. These modeling techniques involve assumptions and estimates that inherently cannot be measured with complete precision. Key assumptions in the analyses include maturity and repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities, prepayments on amortizing assets, non-maturity deposit sensitivity, and loan and deposit pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors. However, the analyses are useful in quantifying risk and providing a relative gauge of the Company’s interest rate risk position over time.

Earnings at Risk

Simulation analysis evaluates the effect of upward and downward changes in market interest rates on future net interest income. The analysis involves changing the interest rates used in determining net interest income over the next twelve months. The resulting percentage change in net interest income in various rate scenarios is an indication of the Company’s short-term interest rate risk. The analysis assumes recent trends in new loan and deposit volumes will continue while the amount of investment securities remains constant. Additional assumptions are applied to modify volumes and pricing under the various rate scenarios. These include prepayment assumptions on mortgage assets, sensitivity of non-maturity deposit rates, and other factors deemed significant.

The simulation analysis results are presented in the Earnings at Risk table below. At September 30, 2017, similar to at December 31, 2016, these results indicate the Company would be better positioned in a rising interest rate environment than it would be if interest rates fell. The decreased reduction in net interest income in a 'rates up' scenario reflects a third quarter 2017 repositioning of a portion of the Company's investment portfolio for a continued increase in short-term interest rates.

Although the Fed increased short-term interest rates by 25 basis points in December 2016 and again in March and June 2017, a decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would create an environment in which deposit rates could not practically decline further.

Table of Contents

Value at Risk

Net present value analysis provides information on the risk inherent in the balance sheet that might not be taken into account in the simulation analysis due to the short time horizon used in that analysis. The net present value of the balance sheet incorporates the discounted present value of expected asset cash flows less the discounted present value of expected liability cash flows. The analysis involves changing the interest rates used in determining the expected cash flows and in discounting the cash flows. The resulting percentage change in net present value in various rate scenarios is an indication of the longer term repricing risk and options embedded in the balance sheet.

The net present value analysis results are presented in the Value at Risk table below. At September 30, 2017, these results indicate the Company would be better positioned in a moderately rising interest rate environment than it would be if interest rates increased more substantially or decreased.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on the evaluation required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), at September 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at September 30, 2017. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2017.
