The
following discussion is intended to assist in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
contained elsewhere in this report.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and practices within the banking
industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and
judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and
procedures, and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under
different assumptions and conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. For additional information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of
the consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report).
Operating Segments
Our operations are managed along two reportable segments that represent our core businesses: Banking and Wealth Management. The Banking segment
provides a wide array of lending and depository-related products and services to individuals, businesses and municipal enterprises. The Banking segment also provides commercial insurance and consumer products, including life, health, auto and
homeowner insurance, through M&E and brokerage services through LSFS. The Wealth Management segment provides trust and investment services through Charter Holding and Charter Trust. A summary of the financial results for each of our segments is
included in Note N Operating Segments in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements located elsewhere within this report.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2016 (unaudited) and December 31, 2015
Assets.
Total assets were $1.6 billion at September 30, 2016, compared to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $66.3
million, or 4.37%.
Securities Portfolio.
Securities available-for-sale increased $34.9 million, or 29.02%, to $155.1
million at September 30, 2016 from $120.2 million at December 31, 2015 as a result of $156.9 million in securities purchased during the period. Net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale were $1.2 million at September 30, 2016 compared to
net unrealized losses of $1.3 million at December 31, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we sold securities with a total book value of $79.2 million for a net gain on sales of $1.5 million and $362 thousand of municipal bonds
were called. Our net unrealized gain (after tax) on our investment portfolio was $736 thousand at September 30, 2016 compared to a net unrealized loss (after tax) of $810 thousand at December 31, 2015. The investments in our investment
portfolio that were temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2016 consisted of U.S. government-sponsored enterprise bonds, mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, municipal bonds and equity securities. The
unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates. We have the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, and therefore, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary. We do not
believe the unrealized losses on equity securities relate to credit quality of the issuers. We have the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of cost basis.
31
Loans.
Net loans held in portfolio increased $19.3 million, or 1.58%, to $1.2
billion at September 30, 2016 from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase of loans held in portfolio was primarily due to increases in conventional real estate loans of $20.1 million, home equity loans of $2.0 million, commercial real
estate loans of $6.5 million and commercial and municipal loans of $3.2 million, offset in part by a decrease in land and construction loans of $11.5 million and consumer loans of $1.1 million. As a percentage of total loans, impaired loans
decreased to 0.78% at September 30, 2016 from 1.06% at December 31, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we originated $282.0 million in loans, an increase of 6.25%, compared to $265.4 million during the same period in
2015. At September 30, 2016, our mortgage servicing loan portfolio was $467.1 million, compared to $445.9 million at December 31, 2015. We expect to continue to sell long-term fixed-rate loans with terms of more than 15 years into the secondary
market in order to manage interest rate risk. Market risk exposure during the production cycle is managed through the use of secondary market forward commitments. At September 30, 2016, adjustable-rate mortgages comprised approximately 60.92% of our
real estate mortgage loan portfolio, which represents a slightly higher percentage compared to the mix at December 31, 2015 of 60.67%.
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses.
We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan
portfolio. Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses are charged to income through the provision for loan losses. We test the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly by preparing an analysis applying loss factors to
outstanding loans by type. This analysis stratifies the loan portfolio by loan type and assigns a loss factor to each type based on an assessment of the risk associated with each type. In determining the loss factors, we consider historical losses
and market conditions. Loss factors may be adjusted for qualitative factors that, in managements judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses incorporates the results of measuring impairment for specifically identified non-homogeneous problem loans in
accordance with ASC 310-10-35, Receivables-Overall-Subsequent Measurement. In accordance with ASC 310-10-35, the specific allowance reduces the carrying amount of the impaired loans to their estimated fair value. A loan is recognized as
impaired when it is probable that principal and/or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Measurement of impairment can be based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loans
effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Measurement of impairment does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as residential
mortgage, home equity or installment loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment.
Our commercial loan officers review the
financial condition of commercial loan customers on a regular basis and perform visual inspections of facilities and inventories. We also have loan review, internal audit and compliance programs with results reported directly to the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors.
The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016 was $9.0 million compared to $8.9 million at December 31,
2015. The allowance for loan losses represents 0.72% of total loans held at September 30, 2016 compared to 0.73% at December 31, 2015. Total impaired loans at September 30, 2016 were $9.6 million, representing 107.08% of the allowance for loan
losses. Modestly improving economic and market conditions and actual charge-off experience within the portfolio during the period resulted in us making $542 thousand in provisions to the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended
September 30, 2016, compared to $440 thousand in provisions made for the same period in 2015. Loan charge-offs were $875 thousand during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2015. Recoveries
were $413 thousand during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $771 thousand for the same period in 2015. This activity resulted in net charge-offs of $462 thousand for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, compared
to $1.1 million for the same period in 2015. One-to-four family residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, commercial and municipal and consumer loans accounted for 31%, 37%, 5% and 27%, respectively, of the amounts charged-off during the nine
month period ended September 30, 2016.
The effects of national economic issues that continue to be felt in our local communities and the
national economic outlook as well as portfolio performance and charge-offs influenced our decision to maintain our allowance for loan losses at $9.0 million. The risk of loss inherent in the loan portfolio was affected by an increase in the
originated loan portfolio, a reduction in impaired loans and modestly improving economic conditions. Management may make additional provisions during the remainder of 2016 to maintain the allowance at an adequate level.
Included in the allowance for loan losses is an allowance for losses from the fee for service overdraft program. Our policy is to maintain an
allowance equal to 100% of the aggregate balance of negative balance accounts that have remained negative for 30 days or more. Negative balance accounts are charged-off when the balance has remained negative for 60 consecutive days. At September 30,
2016, the overdraft allowance was $31 thousand, compared to $16 thousand at December 31, 2015. There were provisions of $92 thousand for overdraft losses recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $40 thousand for
the same period during 2015. Ongoing provisions are anticipated as overdraft charge-offs continue and we adhere to our policy to maintain an allowance for overdraft losses equal to 100% of the aggregate negative balance of accounts remaining
negative for 30 days or more.

Asset Quality.
Classified loans include non-performing loans and performing loans that have been
adversely classified, net of specific reserves. Total classified loans net of specific reserves were $20.7 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $19.7 million at December 31, 2015. OREO was $321 thousand at September 30, 2016 compared to $904
thousand at December 31, 2015. Losses have occurred in the liquidation process and our loss experience suggests it is prudent for us to continue funding provisions to build the allowance for loan losses. While, for the most part, quantifiable loss
amounts have not been identified with individual credits, we anticipate more charge-offs as loan issues are resolved. The impaired loans meet the criteria established under ASC 310-10-35. Four loans considered to be impaired loans at September 30,
2016 have specific allowances identified and assigned. The four loans are secured by real estate. At September 30, 2016, the allowance included $126 thousand allocated to impaired loans compared to $386 thousand at December 31, 2015.
At September 30, 2016, we had 51 loans totaling $7.2 million considered to be TDRs as defined in ASC 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt
Restructurings by Creditors, included in impaired loans. At September 30, 2016, 43 of the TDRs were performing under contractual terms. Of the loans classified as TDRs, 8 were non-performing at September 30, 2016. The total balance of these
past due loans was $1.0 million. At December 31, 2015, we had 56 loans totaling $8.4 million considered to be TDRs.
Loans over 90 days
past due were $4.2 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2015. Loans 30 to 89 days past due totaled $2.7 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $6.0 million at December 31, 2015. As a percentage of assets, the
recorded investment in non-performing loans decreased from 0.40% at December 31, 2015 to 0.32% at September 30, 2016 and, as a percentage of total loans, decreased from 0.49% at December 31, 2015 to 0.40% at September 30, 2016.
Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention do not reflect trends or uncertainties that we
reasonably expect will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, all loans about which management possesses information regarding possible borrower credit problems
and doubts as to borrowers ability to comply with present loan repayment terms or to repay a loan through liquidation of collateral are included in the tables below or discussed herein.
At September 30, 2016, there were no other loans excluded from the tables below or not discussed above where known information about possible
credit problems of the borrowers caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.
The following table shows the breakdown of the amount of non-performing assets and non-performing assets as a percentage of the total
allowance and total assets as of the dates indicated:

We believe the allowance for loan losses is at a level sufficient to cover inherent losses, given
the current level of risk in the loan portfolio. At the same time, we recognize that the determination of future loss potential is intrinsically uncertain. Future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to increases in the loan portfolio,
or if economic, real estate and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment and result in increased levels of non-performing loans and substantial differences between estimated and actual losses. Adjustments to the
allowance are charged to income through the provision for loan losses.
Goodwill
.
Goodwill was $44.6 million, or
2.81% of total assets, as of September 30, 2016, compared to $44.6 million, or 2.94% of total assets, as of December 31, 2015.
Other Intangible Assets.
Other intangible assets were $6.8 million, or 0.43% of total assets, as of September 30, 2016, compared
to $7.8 million, or 0.52% of total assets, as of December 31, 2015. The decrease was due to normal amortization of core deposit intangible and customer list assets.
Other Real Estate Owned.
OREO was $321 thousand, representing one residential property and one commercial property, at September
30, 2016, compared to $904 thousand, representing three residential properties and two commercial properties at December 31, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, three properties were sold while no additional properties were
added.
Deposits
.
Total deposits decreased $15.6 million, or 1.35%, to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2016 compared to
$1.2 billion at December 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $13.7 million in savings and money market accounts and a decrease of $11.6 million in time deposits, partially offset by increases of $9.6 million in checking
accounts.
Borrowings.
We had outstanding balances of $202.2 million in advances from the FHLB at September 30, 2016,
representing an increase of $52.2 million in outstanding balances compared to December 31, 2015. In addition to advances, we had 10 letters of credit totaling $31.2 million with the FHLB to secure customer deposits under pledge agreements. These
letters of credit are factored against borrowing capacity with the FHLB. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $3.6 million, or 19.85%, to $21.5 million at September 30, 2016 from $18.0 million at December 31, 2015.
Comparison of the Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 (unaudited)
Overview.
Consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $7.1 million, or $0.85 per diluted common
share, compared to $6.9 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2015, an increase of $276 thousand, or 4.02%. Our net interest margin increased to 3.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from 2.97% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2015. Our return on average assets and average common stockholders equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were 0.60% and 6.78%, respectively, compared to 0.61% and 6.80%, respectively, for the same
period in 2015.
Net Interest and Dividend Income.
Net interest and dividend income increased $1.5 million, or 4.70%, to
$32.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $30.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, due to the additional income of $1.3 million primarily related to securities purchased in the first
and second quarter of 2016 and a decrease in interest on deposits of $241 thousand, or 8.04%, offset in part by an increase in interest on advances and other borrowed money of $679 thousand, or 92.13%.
Interest and Dividend Income.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, total interest and dividend income increased $2.0
million, or 5.47%, to $38.0 million, compared to $36.0 million for the same period in 2015. Interest and fees on loans increased $483 thousand, or 1.39%, to $35.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $34.7 million
for the same period in 2015. Interest and dividends on investments and other interest increased $1.5 million, or 110.21%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
Interest Expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, total interest expense increased $521 thousand, or 10.06%, to
$5.7 million, compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2015. Interest on deposits decreased $241 thousand, or 8.04%, to $2.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due in part to the
migration from time deposits to lower cost deposit products. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, interest on advances and other borrowed money increased $679 thousand, or 92.13%, to $1.4 million from $737 thousand for the same period in
2015 due in part to the increase in FHLB advances of $52.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The following table sets forth the dollar volume of increase (decrease) in interest income and
interest expense resulting from changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and from changes in rates for the nine month periods indicated. Volume changes are computed by multiplying the volume difference by the prior
periods rate. Rate changes are computed by multiplying the rate difference by the prior periods balance. The change in interest income and expense due to both rate and volume has been allocated proportionally between the volume and rate
variances (in thousands).

Provision for Loan Losses.
The provision for loan losses (excluding overdraft losses) was $450
thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $400 thousand of provisions during the same period in 2015. The amount of the provision is consistent with activity in the portfolio during the related periods and allowance adequacy
models. We recorded $92 thousand in provisions for overdraft losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $40 thousand in provisions during the same period in 2015. For additional information on provisions and adequacy, please
refer to the Allowance for Loan Losses section herein.
Noninterest Income and Expense.
For the nine months ended September
30, 2016, total noninterest income increased $1.3 million, or 9.20%, to $15.5 million, compared to $14.2 million for the same period in 2015.
Customer service fees decreased $26 thousand, or 0.60%, to $4.3 million from $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This
decrease includes a decrease of $63 thousand in overdraft fees, offset in part by an increase in interchange income of $56 thousand.
Gain
on sales and calls of securities increased $1.2 million, or 313.67%, to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $373 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Mortgage banking activities decreased $93 thousand, or 9.23%, to $915 thousand from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2015. The change represents a decrease of $268 thousand for capitalized mortgage servicing rights, which were partially offset by a decrease of $7 thousand for the amortization of mortgage servicing rights, a gain of $83 thousand related to
fair market value adjustments to secondary market derivatives, an increase of $49 thousand in servicing fee income and $47 thousand increase in gains on the sale of loans. These changes reflect changes in pipelines, market rates and shifts in
consumer demand for long-term fixed rate products.
Net losses on other real estate and property owned decreased $14 thousand to a net
loss of $55 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from a net loss of $69 thousand for the same period in 2015.
Trust and
investment management fee income decreased $63 thousand, or 0.99%, to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2015.
Insurance and brokerage service income increased $84 thousand, or 7.22% to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared
to $1.2 million for the same period in 2015.
Bank-owned life insurance income increased $202 thousand, or 44.89% to $652 thousand for the
nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $450 thousand for the same period in 2015, primarily related to the addition of $10 million of bank-owned life insurance purchased during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Other income increased $6 thousand, or 6.74%, to $95 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $89 thousand for the same
period in 2015.
Total noninterest expenses increased $2.1 million, or 6.02%, to $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2016, compared to $34.7 million for the same period in 2015, as discussed below.
38
Salaries and employee benefits increased $553 thousand, or 3.05%, to $18.7 million from $18.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Salary expense increased $492 thousand, or 3.47%, to $14.7 million from $14.2 million for the same period in 2015, reflecting ordinary cost-of-living adjustments, staffing increases and
promotional increases. The deferral of expenses in conjunction with the origination of loans increased $119 thousand, or 7.43%, to $1.7 million from $1.6 million for the same period in 2015.
Occupancy expenses decreased $300 thousand, or 6.38%, to $4.4 million from $4.7 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease relates
primarily to decreases in snow removal and fuel expenses of $99 thousand and $60 thousand, respectively, due to mild weather during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 as well as cost savings realized in 2016 due to closing
two locations during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Advertising and promotion decreased $113 thousand, or 15.33% to $624 thousand from $737
thousand for the same period in 2015. Outside services increased $91 thousand, or 4.83%, to $2.0 million from $1.9 million for the same period in 2015. Professional services decreased $96 thousand, or 9.47%, to $918 thousand from $1.0
million for the same period in 2015.
Supplies expense increased $35 thousand, or 8.29%, to $457 thousand from $422 thousand for the same
period in 2015. Telephone expense decreased $23 thousand, or 2.83%, to $790 thousand from $813 thousand for the same period in 2015.
Merger related expenses during the nine months ending September 30, 2016 were $1.3 million compared to none for the same period in 2015.
Amortization of intangible assets decreased $134 thousand, or 11.63%, to $1.0 million from $1.2 million for the same period in 2015 as our
intangible assets are on the sum-of-the-years-digits declining amortization method, resulting in a reduction to year-over-year amortization.
Other expenses increased $723 thousand, or 16.09%, to $5.2 million from $4.5 million for the same period in 2015. This increase includes
increases of $241 thousand in contributions, $74 thousand in insurance premium expense, $67 thousand of MSR impairment expense, $125 thousand in expenses related to ATM and debit card losses, $165 thousand in franchise taxes and $93 thousand related
to vesting of stock awards.

to $10.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $10.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2015, due to the additional income of $399 thousand primarily related to securities purchased in the first
and second quarter of 2016 and a decrease in interest on deposits of $32 thousand, or 3.40%, offset in part by an increase in interest on advances and other borrowed money of $248 thousand, or 116.98%.

thousand, or 4.97%, to $12.7 million, compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2015. Interest and fees on loans increased $156 thousand, or 1.34%, to $11.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $11.6

migration from time deposits to lower cost deposit products. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, interest on advances and other borrowed money increased $248 thousand, or 116.98%, to $460 thousand from $212 thousand for the same period in
2015 due in part to the increase in FHLB advances during the period.

Loans include 90-day delinquent loans and other loans, which have been placed on a non-accruing status. Management does not believe that including the 90-day delinquent loans and other loans on non-accrual in loans
caused any material difference in the information presented.

The following table sets forth the dollar volume of increase (decrease) in interest income and
interest expense resulting from changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and from changes in rates for the three month periods indicated. Volume changes are computed by multiplying the volume difference by the prior
periods rate. Rate changes are computed by multiplying the rate difference by the prior periods balance. The change in interest income and expense due to both rate and volume has been allocated proportionally between the volume and rate
variances (in thousands).

Provision for Loan Losses.
The provision for loan losses (excluding overdraft losses) was $250
thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to no provisions during the same period in 2015. The amount of the provision is consistent with activity in the portfolio during the related periods and allowance adequacy models. We
recorded $60 thousand in provisions for overdraft losses in the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $21 thousand in provisions during the same period in 2015. For additional information on provisions and adequacy, please refer to the
Allowance for Loan Losses section herein.
Noninterest Income and Expense.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016,
total noninterest income increased $790 thousand, or 18.01%, to $5.2 million, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2015.
Customer service fees decreased $66 thousand, or 4.41%, to $1.4 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Gain on sales and calls of securities increased $342 thousand from none for the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase is due to
the increased volume of sales of securities during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015.
Mortgage banking activities increased $371 thousand, or 189.29%, to $567 thousand from $196 thousand for the three months ended September 30,
2015. The change represents an increase of $133 thousand in gains on sales of loans, an increase of $48 thousand for capitalized mortgage servicing rights, decrease of $4 thousand for the amortization of mortgage servicing rights and an
increase in gains on the fair market value of secondary market derivatives of $259 thousand offset by decreases in deferred loan fees on loans sold of $85 thousand. These changes reflect changes in pipelines, market rates and shifts in consumer
demand for long-term fixed rate products.
Net losses on other real estate and property owned were $14 thousand for the three months ended
September 30, 2016 compared to a net loss of $66 thousand for the same period in 2015.
Trust and investment management fee income
increased $17 thousand, or 0.81%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2015.
Insurance and brokerage service income decreased $4 thousand, or 1.16%, to $340 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2016
compared to $344 thousand for the same period in 2015.
Bank-owned life insurance income increased $63 thousand, or 41.45%, to $215
thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $152 thousand for the same period in 2015, primarily related to the addition of $10 million of bank-owned life insurance purchased during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Total noninterest expenses increased $417 thousand, or 3.55%, to $12.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to
$11.8 million for the same period in 2015, as discussed below.
41
Salaries and employee benefits increased $227 thousand, or 3.71%, to $6.4 million from $6.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Salary expense increased $119 thousand, or 2.45%, to $5.0 million from $4.9 million for the same period in 2015, reflecting ordinary cost-of-living adjustments, staffing increases and
promotional increases. The deferral of expenses in conjunction with the origination of loans increased $89 thousand, or 15.42%, to $668 thousand from $579 thousand for the same period in 2015.
Occupancy expenses decreased $53 thousand, or 3.57%, to $1.4 million from $1.5 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease relates
primarily to $44 thousand in repairs and maintenance expenses for equipment, software and other general maintenance.
Advertising and
promotion decreased $114 thousand, or 38.38%, to $183 thousand from $297 thousand for the same period in 2015. Outside services decreased $54 thousand, or 7.69%, to $648 thousand from $702 thousand for the same period in 2015 primarily related

Supplies expense increased $11 thousand, or 7.38%, to $160 thousand from $149 thousand for the same period in 2015. Telephone expense
decreased $26 thousand, or 9.52%, to $247 thousand from $273 thousand for the same period in 2015.
Merger related expenses during the
three months ending September 30, 2016 were $510 thousand compared to none for the same period in 2015.
Amortization of intangible assets
decreased $45 thousand, or 11.97%, to $331 thousand from $376 thousand for the same period in 2015 as our intangible assets are on the sum-of-the-years-digits declining amortization method, resulting in a reduction to year-over-year amortization.
Other expenses decreased $89 thousand, or 5.67%, to $1.5 million from $1.6 million for the same period in 2015. This decrease
includes decreases of $36 thousand in contributions, $66 thousand in postage expense, $84 thousand of MSR impairment expense, $51 thousand in expenses related to ATM and debit card losses and $57 thousand related to collection of delinquent and
nonperforming loans, offset in part by an increase of $100 thousand in shareholder expenses and an increase of $94 thousand in franchise tax expense.
Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments described in the
section in our Annual Report titled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
The term liquidity refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, loan
purchases, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses. At September 30, 2016, our liquidity was sufficient to cover our anticipated needs for funding new loan commitments of approximately $65.9 million. Our source of funds is derived primarily from
net deposit inflows, loan amortizations, principal pay downs from loans, sold loan proceeds, and advances from the FHLB. At September 30, 2016, we had approximately $159.7 million in additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB.
At September 30, 2016, stockholders equity totaled $142.4 million, compared to $136.7 million at December 31, 2015. This increase
reflects net income of $7.1 million, the declaration of $3.5 million in common stock dividends, contributions and reinvestments in the dividend reinvestment program of $192 thousand and $1.5 million in other comprehensive income.
At September 30, 2016, we had unrestricted funds available in the amount of $2.1 million. As of September 30, 2016, our total cash needs for
the remainder of 2016 are estimated to be approximately $2.0 million with $1.1 million projected to be used to pay cash dividends on our common stock, $287 thousand to pay interest on our subordinated debt, $180 thousand to pay interest on our
capital securities and approximately $358 thousand for ordinary operating expenses. The Bank pays dividends to the Company as its sole stockholder, within guidelines set forth by the OCC and the FRB. Since the Bank is well-capitalized and has
capital in excess of regulatory requirements, it is anticipated that funds will be available to cover the additional Company cash requirements for 2016, as needed, as long as earnings at the Bank are sufficient to maintain adequate Tier 1 Capital.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities decreased $5.5 million to $10.3 million, compared
to cash provided of $15.8 million for the same period in 2015. Cash provided by loans sold decreased $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Net gain on sales of loans increased $46 thousand
for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Net gain on sales and calls of securities increased $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, as a result of
$67.0 million of securities sold or called during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to approximately $41.1 million of securities sold and called during the same period in 2015. The provision for loan losses increased $102 thousand
for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. The change in accrued interest receivable and other assets increased $579 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015.
The change in accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $2.1 million, compared to the same period in 2015.
42
Net cash used in investing activities was $53.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2016, compared to cash provided of $1.8 million for the same period in 2015, a change of $55.4 million. The cash used by net securities activities was $30.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to cash used in net
securities activities of $6.5 million for the same period in 2015. The cash used for purchases of securities decreased by $110.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, and cash provided by
maturities of securities decreased $159.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. Cash used in loan originations and principal collections, net, was $20.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2016, a change of $28.9 million, compared to cash provided of $8.7 million for the same period in 2015.
For the nine months
ended September 30, 2016, net cash flows provided by financing activities were $36.8 million compared to net cash used by financing activities of $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $63.6 million. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2016, we experienced a net decrease of $883 thousand in cash used by deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase comparing cash used of $12.0 million in 2016 to cash used of $12.9 million for the same
period in 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had an increase of $63.2 million of cash provided by FHLB advances and other borrowings, comparing $52.2 million provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to net cash used
of $11.0 million for the same period in 2015.
Subordinated Notes
On October 29, 2014, we entered into a Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which
we issued an aggregate of $17.0 million of subordinated notes to the accredited investors. The notes have a maturity date of November 1, 2024 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% per annum. We may, at our option, beginning with the
interest payment date of November 1, 2019, and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Any partial redemption will be made pro rata among
all of the noteholders. The notes are not subject to repayment at the option of the noteholders. The notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and rank junior in right of payment to our senior indebtedness and to our obligations
to our general creditors. Total expenses associated with the offering of $621 thousand are deducted from the carrying value of the subordinated notes and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the subordinated note.
The notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the notes
to redeem a portion of our Series B Preferred Stock and we plan to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. The notes were offered and sold in reliance on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.
Capital Ratios
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the federal banking agencies that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys and the Banks financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance
sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Companys and the Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other
factors.
Effective January 1, 2015 (with a phase-in period of two to four years for certain components), the Company and the Bank
became subject to new capital regulations adopted by the FRB and the OCC, which implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and the changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The new regulations require a new common equity Tier 1
(CET1) capital ratio of 4.5%, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio to 6.0% from 4.0%, require a minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.0% and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%.
CET1 generally consists of common stock and retained earnings, subject to applicable adjustments and deductions. Under new prompt corrective action regulations, in order to be considered well capitalized, the Bank must maintain a CET1
capital ratio of 6.5% (new) and a Tier 1 ratio of 8.0% (increased from 6.0%), a total risk based capital ratio of 10.0% (unchanged) and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% (unchanged).
The new regulations implemented changes to what constitutes regulatory capital. Certain instruments will no longer constitute qualifying
capital, subject to phase-out periods. In addition, Tier 2 capital is no longer limited to the amount of Tier 1 capital included in total capital. Mortgage servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries
over designated percentages of CET1 will be deducted from capital. The Company and the Bank have elected to permanently opt out of the inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in capital calculations, as permitted by the regulations. This
opt-out will reduce the impact of market volatility on our regulatory capital ratios.
The new regulations also changed the risk weights
of certain assets, including an increase in the risk weight of certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or on non-accrual status to
150% from 100%, a credit conversion factor for the unused portion of commitments with maturities of less than one year that are not cancellable to 20% from 0%, an increase in the risk weight for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that
are not deducted from capital to 250% from 100%, and an increase in the risk weight for equity exposures to 600% from 100%.
43
As of September 30, 2016 (unaudited), the Company and the Bank met each of their capital
requirements and the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Banks category.
The Companys and the Banks actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table below as of September 30, 2016.

Capital Conservation Buffer
The required minimum conservation buffer began to be phased in incrementally, starting at 0.625% on January 1, 2016 and will increase to 1.25%
on January 1, 2017, 1.875% on January 1, 2018 and 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The final capital rules impose restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary cash bonus payments if the minimum capital conservation buffer is not met.
At September 30, 2016, the capital levels of both the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and the Banks
regulatory capital ratios were above the minimum levels required to be considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes. The capital levels of both the Company and the Bank at September 30, 2016 also exceeded the minimum capital requirements
including the currently applicable capital conservation buffer of 0.625%.
Tangible Book Value
Book value per common share was $16.98 at September 30, 2016, compared to $16.32 per common share at December 31, 2015. Tangible book value per
common share was $11.51 at September 30, 2016, compared to $10.76 per common share at December 31, 2015. Tangible book value per common share is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure calculated using U.S. GAAP amounts. Tangible book value per common
share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the total number of common shares outstanding at a point in time. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill, other intangible assets and preferred stock from
the calculation of stockholders equity. We believe that tangible book value per common share provides information to investors that may be useful in understanding our financial condition. Because not all companies use the same calculation of
tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies.

Capital Securities
On March 30, 2004, NHTB Capital Trust II (Trust II), a Connecticut statutory trust formed by the Company, completed the sale
of $10.0 million of Floating Capital Securities, adjustable every three months at LIBOR plus 2.79% (Capital Securities II). Trust II also issued common securities to us and used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase a like
amount of our Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Debentures II). Debentures II are the sole assets of Trust II. Total expenses associated with the offering of $160 thousand are deducted from the carrying value of the
debentures and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of Debentures II.
Capital Securities II accrue and pay
distributions quarterly based on the stated liquidation amount of $10 per floating capital security. We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of Trust II. The guaranty covers the quarterly distributions and payments on
liquidation or redemption of Capital Securities II, but only to the extent that Trust II has funds necessary to make these payments.
Capital Securities II are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturing of Debentures II on March 30, 2034 or upon earlier redemption as
provided in the Indenture. We have the right to redeem Debentures II, in whole or in part, at the liquidation amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
On March 30, 2004, NHTB Capital Trust III (Trust III), a Connecticut statutory trust formed by the Company, completed the
sale of $10.0 million of 6.06% 5 Year Fixed-Floating Capital Securities (Capital Securities III). Trust III also issued common securities to us and used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase a like amount of our 6.06% Junior
Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Debentures III). Debentures III are the sole assets of Trust III. Total expenses associated with the offering of $160 thousand are deducted from the carrying value of the debentures and
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of Debentures III.
Capital Securities III accrue and pay distributions
quarterly at an annual rate of 6.06% for the first five years of the stated liquidation amount of $10 per fixed-floating capital security. We have fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the obligations of Trust III. The guaranty covers the
quarterly distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of Capital Securities III, but only to the extent that Trust III has funds necessary to make these payments.
Capital Securities III are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturing of Debentures III on March 30, 2034 or upon earlier redemption as
provided in the Indenture. We have the right to redeem Debentures III, in whole or in part, at the liquidation amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
Stock Repurchase Plan
The Board of
Directors determined that a share buyback is appropriate to enhance stockholder value because such repurchases generally increase earnings per common share, return on average assets and on average equity; three performance benchmarks against which
bank and thrift holding companies are measured. On June 12, 2007, the Board of Directors reactivated a previously adopted but incomplete stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 253,776 shares of common stock. We buy stock in the open
market whenever the price of the stock is deemed reasonable and we have funds available for the purchase. At September 30, 2016, there were 148,088 shares available to be repurchased under the repurchase plan previously approved by the Board of
Directors. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
