Note 3.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which deferred the effective date for ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

10
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715-20). This Update amends ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The Update eliminates the requirement to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as part of net periodic benefit cost over the next year. The Update also removes the disclosure requirements for the effects of a one percentage point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost, and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. This Update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and must be applied on a retrospective basis. For all other entities, this Update is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Financial Instruments (Topic 825), which affects a variety of topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, amendments are effective for SEC registrants for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for all other entities, the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. For entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2017-12, the effective date is as of the beginning of the first annual period beginning after the issuance of this Update. Topic 825, Financial Instruments, amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Furthermore, the ASU provides a one-year deferral of the effective dates of the ASUs on derivatives and hedging for companies that are not public business entities. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASUs.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which allows entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost upon adoption of the new credit losses standard. To be eligible for the transition election, the existing financial asset must otherwise be both within the scope of the new credit losses standard and eligible for applying the fair value option in ASC 825-10.3. The election must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is not available for either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity debt securities. For entities that elect the fair value option, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the financial asset would be recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the date an entity adopted ASU 2016-13. Changes in fair value of that financial asset would subsequently be reported in current earnings. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates and transition requirements are the same as those in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted once ASU 2016-13 has been adopted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The Update defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt ASU 2016-13.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-09, Financial Services ‒ Insurance (Topic 944), which defers the effective date of the amendments in Update 2018-12, Financial Services ‒ Insurance (Topic 944): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, the amendments in Update 2018-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in Update 2018-12 is permitted. For all other entities, the amendments in Update 2018-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early application of the amendments in Update 2018-12 is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments ‒ Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). The Update defers the effective dates of ASU 2016-13 for SEC filers that are eligible to be smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update also amends the mandatory effective date for the elimination of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test under ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles ‒ Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Goodwill), to align with those used for credit losses. Furthermore, the
11
ASU provides a one-year deferral of the effective dates of the ASUs on derivatives and hedging and leases for companies that are not public business entities. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASUs.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, to clarify its new credit impairment guidance in ASC 326, based on implementation issues raised by stakeholders. This Update clarified, among other things, that expected recoveries are to be included in the allowance for credit losses for these financial assets; an accounting policy election can be made to adjust the effective interest rate for existing troubled debt restructurings based on the prepayment assumptions instead of the prepayment assumptions applicable immediately prior to the restructuring event; and extends the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from all additional relevant disclosures involving amortized cost basis. The effective dates in this Update are the same as those applicable for ASU 2019-10. The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company and does not expect to early adopt these ASUs.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), to simplify the accounting for income taxes, change the accounting for certain tax transactions, and make minor improvements to the codification. This Update provides a policy election to not allocate consolidated income taxes when a member of a consolidated tax return is not subject to income tax and provides guidance to evaluate whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination in which book goodwill was recognized or was a separate transaction. The Update also changes current guidance for making an intraperiod allocation if there is a loss in continuing operations and gains outside of continuing operations, determining when a deferred tax liability is recognized after an investor in a foreign entity transitions to or from the equity method of accounting, accounting for tax law changes and year-to-date losses in interim periods, and determining how to apply the income tax guidance to franchise taxes that are partially based on income. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-1, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), to clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative, in accordance with Topic 321, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendments also clarify that, for the purpose of applying paragraph 815-10-15-141 (a), an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in Topic 323 or the fair value option, in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825. An entity also would evaluate the remaining characteristics in paragraph 815-10-15-141 to determine the accounting for those forward contracts and purchased options. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-2, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), February 2020, to add and amend SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119, related to the new credit losses standard, and comments by the SEC staff related to the revised effective date of the new leases standard. This ASU is effective upon issuance. This did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-3, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. This ASU was issued to improve and clarify various financial instruments topics, including the current expected credit losses (CECL) standard issued in 2016. The ASU includes seven issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP; they are intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply and to eliminate inconsistencies, and they are narrow in scope and are not expected to significantly change practice for most entities. Among its provisions, the ASU clarifies that all entities, other than public business entities that elected the fair value option, are required to provide certain fair value disclosures under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, in both interim and annual financial statements. It also clarifies that the contractual term of a net investment in a lease under Topic 842 should be the contractual term used to measure expected credit losses under Topic 326. Amendments related to ASU 2019-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted before an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-01. Amendments related to ASU 2016-13 for entities that have not yet adopted that guidance are effective upon adoption of the amendments in ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is not permitted before an entity’s adoption of ASU 2016-13. Amendments related to ASU 2016-13 for entities that have adopted that guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including
12
interim periods within those years. Other amendments are effective upon issuance of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, March 2020, to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2022. It is too early to predict whether a new rate index replacement and the adoption of the ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-6, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. This ASU removes from U.S. GAAP the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, and for convertible preferred stock wholly as preferred stock (i.e., as a single unit of account), unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC 815 or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. This ASU requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity’s financial statements, and information about events, conditions, and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an entity’s future cash flows related to those instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities that are not smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance may be early adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 4. Per Share Data

There are no convertible securities which would affect the denominator in calculating basic and dilutive earnings per share. There were a total of 864,300 stock options, with an average exercise price of $28.20, outstanding on September 30, 2020. These options were excluded, on a weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods due to the average market price of common shares of $20.84 and $24.20, respectively, exceeding the exercise price of the options issued. There were a total of 635,550 stock options outstanding for the same period end in 2019 that had an average exercise price of $29.30 and were excluded, on a weighted average basis, in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the quarterly average closing market price of common shares was $28.44 for the period.

At September 30, 2020, there were a total of 18 securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and 4 individual securities that were in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater.

The Company reviews its position quarterly and has determined that, at September 30, 2020, the declines outlined in the above table represent temporary declines and the Company does not intend to sell and does not believe it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis, which may be at maturity.  The Company has concluded that the unrealized losses disclosed above are not other than temporary but are the result of interest rate changes, sector credit ratings changes, or company-specific ratings changes that are not expected to result in the non-collection of principal and interest during the period.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2020, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 6. Loans

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

Impaired Loans

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

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

Mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans are large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans and are measured for impairment collectively with the exception of loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower including the length of the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Interest income for impaired loans is recorded consistent to the Banks' policy.

The following table presents the recorded investment, unpaid principal balance, and related allowance of impaired loans by segment as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

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

There were no loan modifications considered to be TDRs completed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were five loan modifications considered TDRs completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:

There were two loan modifications considered to be TDRs made during the twelve months previous to September 30, 2020 that defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The defaulted loan types and recorded investments at September
21
30, 2020 are as follows: one commercial real estate loan with a recorded investment of $1,040,000, and one commercial and agricultural loans with a recorded investment of $640,000. There were no loan modifications considered to be TDRs made during the twelve months previous to September 30, 2019 that defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Troubled debt restructurings amounted to $12,218,000 and $13,282,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The amount of foreclosed residential real estate held at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, totaled $376,000 and $493,000, respectively. Consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, totaled $446,000 and $32,000, respectively.

The Company began offering short-term loan modifications to provide relief to borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency. The CARES Act along with a joint agency statement issued by federal and state banking agencies, provides that short-term modifications made in a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 who were current at the time the modification program is implemented do not need to be accounted for as TDRs. Loan modifications and payment deferrals have been at historical high levels as the impact of the pandemic continues. As of September 30, 2020, the loan modification/deferral program in place has generated deferrals of up to 180 days that have been granted on 1,530 loans with 1,395 loans remaining in their deferral period with an aggregate outstanding balance of $230,326,000. These loan modifications met applicable requirements to not be considered troubled debt restructurings. The number of customers seeking loan modifications or payment deferrals may increase as the effects of the pandemic continue.

Internal Risk Ratings

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

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Banks have a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight.  Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the pass category unless a specific action, such as bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event.  An external semi-annual loan review of large commercial relationships is performed, as well as a sample of smaller transactions. The 2020 loan review has an aggregate commercial relationship threshold of $1,750,000 which can consist of outstanding loans, commercial real estate mortgages and outstanding commitments. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss on a quarterly basis.

The following table presents the credit quality categories identified above as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Allowance for Loan Losses

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

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

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

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

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

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

The shift in allocation of the loan provision is primarily due to changes in the credit metrics within the loan portfolio and the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in the loan provision within the unallocated segment is the result of the uncertainty that has been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

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

The Company has a concentration of the following to gross loans at September 30, 2020 and 2019: 
  September 30,
  2020 2019
Owners of residential rental properties 16.29  % 15.41  %

Employer Contributions

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, that it expected to contribute a minimum of $500,000 to its defined benefit plan in 2020.  As of September 30, 2020, there were contributions of $1,250,000 made to the plan with additional contributions of at least $250,000 anticipated during the remainder of 2020.

Note 8.  Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Plan”).  The Plan is intended to encourage employee participation in the ownership and economic progress of the Company.  The Plan allows for up to 1,000,000 shares to be purchased by employees.  The purchase price of the shares is 95% of market value with an employee eligible to purchase up to the lesser of 15% of base compensation or $12,000 in market value annually.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were 2,888 and 2,579 shares issued under the Plan, respectively.

Note 9.  Off-Balance Sheet Risk

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

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

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
(In Thousands) September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019
Commitments to extend credit $ 189,556  $ 187,778 
Standby letters of credit 10,186  9,638 
Credit exposure from the sale of assets with recourse 8,495  6,826 
$ 208,237  $ 204,242 

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

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

Note 10.  Fair Value Measurements

The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.
26
Level I:   Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.
     
Level II:   Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.
     
Level III:   Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

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

The following table presents the assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The discounted cash flow valuation technique is utilized to determine the fair value of performing impaired loans, while non-performing impaired loans utilize the appraisal of collateral method.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s impaired loans using the discounted cash flow valuation technique include temporary changes in payment amounts and the probability of default.  Significant increases (decreases) in payment amounts would result in significantly higher (lower) fair value measurements.  The probability of default is 0% for impaired loans using the discounted cash flow valuation technique because all defaulted impaired loans are valued using the appraisal of collateral valuation technique.

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

Note 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company is required to disclose fair values for its financial instruments.  Fair values are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intention to hold most of its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions can significantly affect the fair values.
28

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

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

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are as follows at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Note 12.  Stock Options

In 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan designed to help the Company attract, retain, and motivate employees and non-employee directors. Incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock may be granted as part of the plan.

As of January 1, 2020, the Company had a total of 625,800 stock options outstanding. During the period ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 238,500 stock options with a strike price of $25.34 to a group of employees. The options granted in 2020 all expire ten years from the grant date. Of the 238,500 grants awarded in 2020, 119,300 of the options vest in 3 years while the 119,200 remaining options vest in five years.

The estimated fair value of options, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense on a straightline basis over the options’ vesting periods while ensuring that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at least equals the value of the vested portion of the award at that date. The Company determines the fair value of options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury bond with a similar term to the expected life of the options at the grant date. Expected volatility was estimated based on the adjusted historic volatility of the Company’s shares. The expected life was estimated to equal the contractual life of the options. The dividend yield rate was based upon recent historical dividends paid on shares.

Compensation expense for stock options is recognized using the fair value when the stock options are granted and is amortized over the options' vesting period. Compensation expense related to stock options was $239,000 and $675,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $185,000 and $498,000 for the same period of 2019. As of September 30, 2020, a total of 97,875 stock options were exercisable and the weighted average years to expiration was 8.17 years years. The
30
fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1,343,000 or $5.63 per award. Total unrecognized compensation cost for non-vested options was $2,165,000 and will be recognized over their weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.45 years years.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Summary Results

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $4,472,000 and $11,305,000 compared to $4,650,000 and $12,839,000 for the same periods of 2019, Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2019 were impacted by an increase in after-tax securities gains of $665,000 (from a gain of $134,000 to a gain of $799,000) for the three month period and $770,000 (from a gain of $205,000 to a gain of $975,000) for the nine month period. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $0.63 and $1.61, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2019 basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.66 and $1.82. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.97% and 11.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 1.10% and 12.18% for the corresponding period of 2019. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.85% and 9.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 1.02% and 11.69% for the corresponding period of 2019. Net income from core operations (“core earnings”) was $3,673,000 and $10,330,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $4,516,000 and $12,634,000 for the corresponding periods of 2019. Core basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $0.52 and $1.47, respectively, compared to $0.64 and $1.80 basic and diluted for the corresponding periods of 2019.

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

Interest and Dividend Income

Interest and dividend income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $15,387,000 and $47,592,000, respectively, compared to $17,084,000 and $50,359,000 for the same periods of 2019 as the interest rate environment remains at a level below historical levels. Loan portfolio income decreased due to a decrease in average rate paid on loans and a decrease in the average loan portfolio balance. Investment securities and dividend income decreased as the increase in the average portfolio balance was more than offset by a decrease in the average rate earned on the portfolio. The decrease in dividend and other interest income is due to a decrease in the amount of dividends received on restricted investment in bank stock held.

Interest and dividend income composition for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $639,000 and $529,000, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2019. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 interest-bearing deposit rates were significantly reduced. However, the decrease in deposit rates was offset by a significant increase in average interest-bearing deposit. Long-term borrowings have been utilized to lock in funding and historically low interest rates and to assist with the funding of the loan and investment portfolios.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin (“NIM”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 2.76% and 2.97%, respectively, compared to 3.32% and 3.34% for the corresponding periods of 2019. The decrease in the net interest margin was driven by a decrease in the yield of the loan portfolio of 34 and 11 basis points ("bps"), while the the investment portfolio yield declined 56 and 60 bps, respectively, for the three and nine month periods during the current low interest rate environment. Further compressing the net interest margin was the significant increase of interest-bearing deposits. These deposits carry a current yield of a few basis points as commercial customers have received PPP funding and retail customers have received stimulus funding. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities were decreased over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulting in a decline in rate paid of 26 and 7 bps as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The rate paid on short-term borrowings decreased significantly as the balance consists primarily of securities sold under agreement to repurchase. These rate decreases will partially offset the decline in earning asset yield.

Provision for Loan Losses

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

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

Although management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30, 2020, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  A downturn in the local economy, increased unemployment, and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, loan loss provisions, and reductions in income.  Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Banks' loan loss allowance.  The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

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

The allowance for loan losses increased from $11,894,000 at December 31, 2019 to $13,429,000 at September 30, 2020. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily driven by the economic uncertainity caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.00% and 0.88%, respectively.

39
The provision for loan losses totaled $645,000 and $2,040,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and the amounts for the corresponding 2019 periods were $360,000 and $1,035,000. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding 2019 periods were primarily the result of the economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertainty for the future that it presents.

Nonperforming loans decreased to $10,553,000 at September 30, 2020 from $17,208,000 at September 30, 2019. The majority of nonperforming loans are centered on loans that are either in a secured position and have sureties with a strong underlying financial position or have a specific allocation for any impairment recorded within the allowance for loan losses. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.77% and 1.26% at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 129.17% and 82.80% at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Internal loan review and analysis coupled with changes in the loan portfolio composition and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic dictated a provision for loan losses of $2,040,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The following is a table showing total nonperforming loans as of:

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 increased $1,213,000 to $4,035,000 and $1,548,000 to $9,093,000, respectively. Excluding net securities gains, non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased $372,000 and increased $573,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. Gain on sale of loans increased as the low rate environment has led to an increase in refinancing activity. Service charges declined as the overdraft fee income has declined as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in brokerage commissions is due to a change in the product mix and reduced consumer activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in debit card fees is a result of a decrease in debit card usage resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The fluctuation in other income results primarily from other fees associated with loans sold on the secondary market.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense increased $166,000 and $14,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods of 2019. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits is attributable to employee layoffs during the second and third quarters of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furniture and equipment expenses for the nine month period have increased as maintenance costs have increased and older equipment was replaced. Software amortization increased due to updating software programs that require new licensing fee structures. Marketing expenses decreased as targeted direct mail marketing has replaced mass marketing. The fluctuation in professional fees consists primarily of an increase in legal and audit fees. The increase in deposit insurance reflects the assessment credits issued by the FDIC during 2019.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $119,000 and $178,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods of 2019. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 19.01% and 18.46% compared to 20.01% and 17.58% for the same period of 2019. The Company currently is in a deferred tax asset position. Management has reviewed the deferred tax asset and has determined that the asset will be utilized within the appropriate carry forward period and therefore does not require a valuation allowance.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents increased $177,683,000 from $48,589,000 at December 31, 2019 to $226,272,000 at September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the following activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Loans Held for Sale

Activity regarding loans held for sale resulted in sales proceeds trailing loan originations, less $2,921,000 in realized gains, by $2,415,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Loans

Gross loans decreased $6,404,000 since December 31, 2019 due primarily to a decrease in both residential and commercial real estate mortgage categories. The decrease in the real estate mortgage portfolio was partially offset by the growth in commercial, financial and agricultural loans along with construction real estate mortgages and the consumer automobile loan segments.

Investments

The fair value of the investment debt securities portfolio at September 30, 2020 increased $1,056,000 since December 31, 2019 while the amortized cost of the portfolio decreased $1,457,000.  The decrease in the investment portfolio amortized value occurred within the mortgage-backed and other debt segments of the portfolio. The mortgage-backed segment was reduced as bonds prepaid due to the low interest rate environment. The other debt segment of the investment portfolio is primarily corporate bonds and this segment was reduced due to the negative economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The municipal segment was increased as bonds with a final maturity of one to five years have been purchased. The portfolio continues to be actively managed in order to reduce interest rate and market risk. The unrealized losses within the debt securities portfolio are the result of market activity, not credit issues/ratings, as approximately 71.03% of the debt securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis is currently rated A or higher by either S&P or Moody’s.

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

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

The fair value of the equity portfolio continues to fluctuate as the economic and political environment continues to impact stock pricing. The amortized cost of the available for sale equity securities portfolio has remained flat at $1,300,000 for September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 while the fair value increased $30,000 over the same time period.

Financing Activities

Deposits

Total deposits increased $167,805,000 from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020. The increase in core deposits (deposits less time deposits) has provided relationship driven funding for the loan and investment portfolios. Driving deposit growth was the receipt of PPP funding by commercial customers, stimulus funding by retail customers, and customers becoming more risk adverse and seeking safety in a bank deposit. Emphasis during 2020 has been on increasing the utilization of electronic (internet and mobile) deposit banking among our customers. Utilization of internet and mobile banking has increased since the start of 2020 due to these efforts coupled with a change in consumer behavior due to the business and travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Capital

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

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

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

Liquidity; Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

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

The following liquidity measures are monitored for compliance and were within the limits cited at September 30, 2020:

1.            Net Loans to Total Assets, 85% maximum
2.              Net Loans to Total Deposits, 100% maximum
3.              Cumulative 90 day Maturity GAP %, +/- 20% maximum
4.              Cumulative 1 Year Maturity GAP %, +/- 25% maximum

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

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

Management monitors the Company’s liquidity on both a long and short-term basis, thereby providing management necessary information to react to current balance sheet trends. Cash flow needs are assessed and sources of funds are determined. Funding strategies consider both customer needs and economical cost. Both short and long-term funding needs are addressed by
47
maturities and sales of available for sale and trading investment securities, loan repayments and maturities, and liquidating money market investments such as federal funds sold. The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit, provides core funding to satisfy depositor, borrower, and creditor needs.

Management monitors and determines the desirable level of liquidity. Consideration is given to loan demand, investment opportunities, deposit pricing and growth potential, as well as the current cost of borrowing funds. The Company has a total current maximum borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $590,455,000. In addition to this credit arrangement, the Company has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $57,000,000. Management believes it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding needs. FHLB borrowings totaled $148,000,000 as of September 30, 2020.

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

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

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

Interest Rate Sensitivity

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

The following is a rate shock forecast for the twelve month period ending September 30, 2021 assuming a static balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.
  Parallel Rate Shock in Basis Points
(In Thousands) -200 -100 Static +100 +200 +300 +400
Net interest income $ 43,127  $ 46,332  $ 49,517  $ 51,642  $ 53,759  $ 55,648  $ 57,484 
Change from static (6,390) (3,185) —  2,125  4,242  6,131  7,967 
Percent change from static -12.90  % -6.43  % —  4.29  % 8.57  % 12.38  % 16.09  %
 
The model utilized to create the report presented above makes various estimates at each level of interest rate change regarding cash flow from principal repayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and/or call activity on investment securities.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in the calculated projected change.  In addition, the limits stated above do not necessarily represent the level of change under which management would undertake specific measures to realign its portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of change.  Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook changes.

48
Inflation

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

COVID-19 Impact
Employees
The Company has undertaken various actions to maintain a safe work environment for employees during the pandemic, including supplying employees with hand sanitizer, face masks, disinfecting supplies, and gloves. The Company has also allowed approximately one-third of the workforce to work remotely in accordance with the Company’s pre-existing business continuity plans, while also maintaining data security and internal controls. Permitting employees to work remotely has allowed for increased social distancing capabilities within the Company’s buildings. To protect employees and customers and promote social distancing, branch lobbies were closed, other than by appointment, until early June at which time lobbies were reopened with sneeze guards in place and foot traffic being directed in a manner that encourages proper social distancing. During the lobby closure and continuing to today, drive-thru, mobile banking, and internet banking have become more popular channels for customers to complete transactions.
The change to a “drive-thru” only strategy until early June coupled with the mandated closure of nonessential businesses in Pennsylvania for a part of the second quarter led to a reduced workload in certain areas of the Company. As a result, approximately 80 employees were furloughed and other employees had their normal work week hours reduced. As businesses have been reopening, the Company has called back all but a few of the previously furloughed employees. Because the Company views its employees as a critical resource, it took certain steps to mitigate the negative impact on them of workforce disruption: for employees who were furloughed, the Company paid 100% of their health insurance premiums; employees who had hours reduced were paid based on their pre-reduction average normal working hours; and a bonus of $50 per week was paid to employees working in customer servicing areas.
Liquidity
The Company has focused on increasing balance sheet liquidity by means of increased levels of cash within the branches and ATMs, and within correspondent bank accounts. Deposit growth has provided liquidity as commercial customers received PPP funding, retail customers received stimulus funding, and customers became more risk averse and sought greater safety in bank deposits. In addition to the buildup in cash reserves, the Company has remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $499,455,000 with the FHLB and other correspondent banks. The Company anticipates slowly reducing the amount of cash reserves as the economy is reopened and the rate of infections declines. The Company believes that it currently has sufficient liquidity to meet customer needs and the Company’s financial obligations based on present circumstances.
Loans
The mandated closure of nonessential businesses and the closure or limited access to many government offices, including court houses, during a portion of the second quarter, has limited the addition of new loans to the portfolio; however loan demand during the third quarter has rebounded. Indirect auto lending was completely closed for several weeks beginning in late March 2020, and reopened on a full scale during the later part of the second quarter. Secondary mortgage market activity continues to flourish as individuals seek to refinance at historically low interest rates. As businesses continue to reopen, the Company anticipates utilizing its strong liquidity position to offer favorable lending terms to its customers to assist them in returning to normal operations and to grow their businesses.
The yield on the loan portfolio has declined, as the low rate environment has resulted in any new loans generated and any loans repricing to be at yields less than the historical average yield of the portfolio. The Company expects the loan portfolio yield to continue to decline due to the projected low rate environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking forward, as in the past, the Company’s focus for building the loan portfolio will be on quality of the credit, not necessarily yield.
The Company participated in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The Company booked $12.3 million in loans directly into the PPP and also utilized a third party to match customer needs with a lending outlet. This method did not result in the Company earning any processing fees under the PPP for loans extended by others, but was the quickest manner to service the greatest number of customers resulting in 586 customers obtaining $57.4 million in funding. The goal was to have as many customers as possible receive requested funding before PPP funding expired, even if the Company did not recognize fee income from making the loans.

Loan modifications and payment deferrals have been at historical high levels as the impact of the pandemic continues. As of September 30, 2020 rate modifications or payment deferrals up to 180 days have been granted on loans with an aggregate balance of $230.3 million. Loan modifications met applicable requirements to not be considered troubled debt restructurings. The number of customers seeking loan modifications or payment deferrals may increase as the effects of the pandemic continue.
The Company has not to date experienced significant credit quality deterioration. However, the provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was increased to $645,000 and $2.0 million (from $360,000 and $1.0 million for the corresponding periods of 2019) and is expected to remain at levels above those historically reported. The increase in the provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is the result of the uncertainty surrounding the strength of the economy as businesses reopen and communities in general attempt to return to pre-pandemic life. From an industry concentration perspective, the Company has minimal exposure to the hospitality and travel industries, which have been greatly affected by the pandemic. The Company does, however, have some potential exposure to student housing in markets such as State College and Williamsport, Pennsylvania; this potential exposure continues to be monitored and to date has not resulted in any credit quality concerns.
Investments
The Company’s investment portfolio is weighted toward municipal bonds and, to a lesser extent, corporate bonds. The credit quality of the investment portfolio continues to be monitored for impairment. The reinvestment of cash flows from the investment portfolio is being focused primarily on bonds with solid credit quality and a final maturity before 2027. The Company continues to limit investments in equity securities due to the significant fluctuations in pricing, uncertain economic future, and the belief that the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue for some time.
Deposits
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the deposit portfolio has been lower rates with an increase in balances. Rates were significantly reduced toward the end of March and beginning April as the Federal Reserve took steps to mitigate the negative economic impact of the pandemic. Although rates have been reduced, in many cases the amount of the rate reduction on the deposit side has not coincided with the amount of rate reduction occurring within the loan portfolio because of the already historically low levels of deposit rates. In many cases, rates on non-maturity deposit products have reduced to levels below 10bps. Time deposits have experienced a significant reduction in rate, with rates for terms less than twelve months being below the current cost of overnight funding from the FHLB or other correspondent banks.
The deposit portfolio has experienced significant growth with a correlation drawn to the stimulus checks sent to certain taxpayers by the federal government under the CARES Act, PPP funding, and customers becoming more risk averse and seeking safety in bank deposits . Although the stimulus checks provided funding, lower debit and credit card usage has resulted in fewer withdrawals from deposit accounts.
Net Interest Margin
For the reasons noted in the loan, investment, and deposit sections above, the Company anticipates that the net interest margin will compress as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Although the Company has taken actions to lower the cost of funding, the yield on earning assets continues to decrease due to the volume of loan modifications and the historically low interest rate environment. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic lessens, the Company does not anticipate significant increases in the net interest margin quickly. The Company anticipates granting favorable lending terms to assist the economic recovery of the communities in which the Company operates, while anticipated competition for deposits is expected to increase in funding costs.
Non-Interest Income
Two areas of non-interest income have experienced a significant reduction during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Overdraft fees and debit card income have been reduced by approximately one-third. The mandated closure of nonessential businesses coupled with shelter in place orders during the end of the first quarter and into the second quarter have resulted in a reduction in the overall number and the amount of purchases by individuals. The Company anticipates that a return to historical levels for these two non-interest income items could be months after the COVID-19 pandemic wanes and consumer behavior may take significant time to return to normal. Buoying non-interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was the gain on sale of loans as the volume of mortgage refinancing has increased due to the historically low rates. The Company has focused on its mortgage business line and anticipates the strong third quarter to continue into the fourth quarter in this business line due to the number of individuals expected to refinance existing mortgages.

Non-Interest Expense
The level of non-interest expense is not expected to change significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the Company furloughed certain employees, any compensation expense savings was significantly offset by the Company’s paying 100% of the health insurance for furloughed employees and the weekly bonus being paid to customer service employees who remained working. Other expenses may remain above historical levels as items such as sanitizer, disinfectant, gloves, masks, sneeze guards, directional/social distancing signage, and other safety items continue to be purchased.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk for the Company is comprised primarily of interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk.  Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at both the level of the Company and the Banks.  The Company’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced by an independent third party.  There have been no substantial changes in the Company’s gap analysis or simulation analysis compared to the information provided in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019.  Additional information and details are provided in the “Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity, and Market Risk” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

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