FIRST KEYSTONE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 ― BASIS OF PRESENTATION, SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Keystone Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary First Keystone Community Bank (the “Bank”) (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in First Keystone Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the consolidated balance sheet date of March 31, 2022 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

NOTE 2 ― RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES (“ASU”)

Recently adopted ASUs:

There were no ASUs adopted during the first quarter of 2022.

Pending ASUs:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to 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 measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), to delay the effective date for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. It is currently unclear how the adoption of this standard will impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but the Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-13 to determine the potential impact that the adoption of the standard may have on the Company. The Company has taken steps to prepare for the implementation when it becomes effective, such as: forming an internal committee, gathering pertinent data, consulting with outside professionals, subscribing to a new software system, and running existing and new methodologies concurrently through the period of implementation.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) by creditors that have adopted the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model and enhances disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial

difficulty. The ASU also amends the guidance on “vintage disclosures” to require disclosure of current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2022-02 are effective upon adoption of ASU 2016-13. Entities may elect to apply the guidance on TDR recognition and measurement by using a modified retrospective transition method, which would result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, or to adopt the amendments prospectively. If an entity elects to adopt the updated guidance on TDR recognition and measurement prospectively, the guidance should be applied to modifications occurring after the date of adoption. The amendments on TDR disclosures and vintage disclosures should be adopted prospectively. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2022-02 upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2022-02 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — SECURITIES

The Company classifies its securities as either “Held-to-Maturity” or “Available-for-Sale” at the time of purchase. Securities are accounted for on a trade date basis. Debt securities are classified as Held-to-Maturity when the Company has the ability and positive intent to hold the securities to maturity. Securities classified as Held-to-Maturity are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount to maturity.

Debt securities not classified as Held-to-Maturity are included in the Available-for-Sale category and are carried at fair value. The amount of any unrealized gain or loss, net of the effect of deferred income taxes, is reported as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (AOCI) in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. Management’s decision to sell Available-for-Sale securities is based on changes in economic conditions, controlling the sources and applications of funds, terms, availability of and yield of alternative investments, interest rate risk and the need for liquidity.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair values are stated at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in income. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost less impairment, if any.

The cost of debt securities classified as Held-to-Maturity or Available-for-Sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums to the earliest call date and accretion of discounts to expected maturity. Such amortization and accretion, as well as interest and dividends, are included in interest and dividend income from securities. Realized gains and losses are included in net securities gains and losses. The cost of securities sold, redeemed or matured is based on the specific identification method.

The amortized cost, related estimated fair value, and unrealized gains and losses for debt securities classified as “Available-For-Sale” were as follows at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

There were no aggregate securities with a single issuer (excluding the U.S. Government and U.S. Government Agencies and Corporations) which exceeded ten percent of consolidated stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2022. The quality rating of the obligations of state and political subdivisions are generally investment grade, as rated by Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s or Fitch. The typical exceptions are local issues which are not rated, but are secured by the full faith and credit obligations of the communities that issued these securities.

There were no proceeds from sales of investments in Debt Securities Available-For-Sale for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021. Therefore, there were no gains or losses realized during these periods.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $1,899,000 and $1,962,000, respectively, in equity securities recorded at fair value. The following is a summary of unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


(Dollars in thousands)	Three months ended		Three months ended
	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Net (losses) and gains recognized during the period on equity securities	$	(63)	$	115
Less: Net gains recognized during the period on equity securities sold during the period		—		—
Net (losses) and gains recognized during the reporting period on equity securities still held at the reporting date	$	(63)	$	115

There were no proceeds from sales of investments in Held-to-Maturity debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021. Therefore, there were no gains or losses realized during these periods.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Securities classified as Available-for-Sale or Held-to-Maturity are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. In determining OTTI under the FASB ASC 320 model, management considers many factors, including (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs on debt securities, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, and the realized loss is recognized as impairment charges on securities on the consolidated statements of income. The amount of the total OTTI related to the other factors shall be recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the security.

The Company and its investment advisors monitor the entire portfolio monthly with particular attention given to securities in a continuous loss position of at least ten percent for over twelve months. Based on the factors described above, management did not consider any securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The summary below shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s debt securities. Totals are aggregated by investment category where individual securities have been in a continuous loss position for less than 12 months or 12 months or more as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The Company invests in various forms of agency debt including residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and callable debt. The mortgage-backed agency securities are issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) or Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The other mortgage-backed securities consist of private (non-agency) residential and commercial mortgage backed securities. The municipal securities consist of general obligations and revenue bonds. Asset backed securities consist of bonds backed by consumer loans. Corporate debt securities consist of senior debt and subordinated debt holdings.

The fair market value of the above securities is influenced by market interest rates, prepayment speeds on mortgage securities, bid-offer spreads in the market place and credit premiums for various types of agency debt. These factors change continuously and therefore the market value of these securities may be higher or lower than the Company’s carrying value at any measurement date. Management does not believe any of their 125 debt securities with a less than one year unrealized loss position, or any of their 29 debt securities with a one year or greater unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2022, represent an other-than-temporary impairment, as the unrealized losses relate principally to changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of the specific securities. The Company expects to collect all principal and interest payments defined under the original terms as all contracted payments on securities in the portfolio are current as of March 31, 2022.

NOTE 4 — LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Loans

Net loans are stated at their outstanding recorded investment, net of deferred fees and costs, unearned income and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is recognized as income over the term of each loan, generally, by the accrual method. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs have been deferred with the net amount amortized using the straight line method or the interest method over the contractual life of the related loans as an interest yield adjustment.

The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into commercial, residential and consumer loans. Commercial loans consist of the following classes: Commercial and Industrial, and Commercial Real Estate.

Commercial and Industrial Lending

The Company originates commercial and industrial loans principally to businesses located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. These loans are used for various business purposes, which include short-term loans and lines of credit to finance machinery and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. Generally, the maximum term for loans extended on machinery and equipment is based on the projected useful life of such machinery and equipment. Most business lines of credit are written on demand and are reviewed annually.

Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured with short-term assets; however, in many cases, additional collateral such as real estate is provided as additional security for the loan. Loan-to-value maximum thresholds have been established by the Company and are specific to the type of collateral. Collateral values may be determined using invoices, inventory reports, accounts receivable aging reports, business financial statements, collateral appraisals or internal evaluations, etc. Commercial and industrial loans are typically supported by personal guarantees of the borrower.

In underwriting commercial and industrial loans, an analysis is performed to evaluate the borrower’s character and capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral, as well as the conditions affecting the borrower. Evaluation of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of the Company’s analysis of the borrower’s ability to repay. SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans that have been issued by the Company as a result of the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are included in the Company’s Commercial and Industrial portfolio and are underwritten according to all terms and conditions pursuant to the PPP as administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. See the Coronavirus Pandemic Impact on the Loan Portfolio section on page 14 for more information regarding the Company’s underwriting of these loans.

Commercial and industrial loans generally present a higher level of risk than other types of loans due primarily to the effect of general economic conditions. Commercial and industrial loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from cash flows from the borrower’s primary business activities. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial and industrial loans is dependent on the success of the business itself, which in turn, is likely to be dependent upon the general economic environment.

As an addition to the commercial loans receivable portfolio, the Company may purchase the guaranteed portion of loans secured by the U.S. Government. The originating bank retains the unguaranteed portion of the loan. The loans are sponsored by one of the various government agencies including the SBA, United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), and the Farm Service Agency (“FSA”). Government Guaranteed Loans ("GGLs") carry no credit risk due to an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee (which is supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government) on all principal and the balance of interest accruing through ninety days beyond the date that demand is made to the originating bank for repurchase of the loan. As of March 31, 2022, the Company's balance of GGLs was $5,326,000, compared to $3,829,000 at December 31, 2021.

Commercial Real Estate Lending

The Company engages in commercial real estate lending in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company’s Commercial Real Estate portfolio is secured primarily by commercial retail space, commercial office buildings, residential housing and hotels. Generally, commercial real estate loans have terms that do not exceed twenty years, have loan-to-value ratios of up to eighty percent of the value of the collateral property, and are typically supported by personal guarantees of the borrowers.

In underwriting these loans, the Company performs a thorough analysis of the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower’s credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property securing the loan. The value of the property is determined by either independent appraisers or internal evaluations performed by Bank officers.

Commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than residential real estate secured loans. Repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project and/or the effect of the general economic conditions on income producing properties.

Residential Real Estate Lending (Including Home Equity)

The Company’s Residential Real Estate portfolio is comprised of one-to-four family residential mortgage loan originations, home equity term loans and home equity lines of credit. These loans are generated by the Company’s marketing efforts, its present customers, walk-in customers and referrals. These loans originate primarily within or with customers from the Company’s market area.

The Company’s one-to-four family residential mortgage originations are secured principally by properties located in its primary market area and surrounding areas. The Company offers fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms up to a maximum of thirty years for both permanent structures and those under construction. Loans with terms of thirty years are normally held for sale and sold without recourse; most of the residential mortgages held in the Company’s residential real estate portfolio have maximum terms of twenty years. Generally, the majority of the Company’s residential mortgage loans originate with a loan-to-value of eighty percent or less, or those with primary mortgage insurance at ninety-five percent or less. Home equity term loans are secured by the borrower’s primary residence and typically have a maximum loan-to-value of eighty percent and a maximum term of fifteen years. In general, home equity lines of credit are secured by the borrower’s primary residence with a maximum loan-to-value of eighty percent and a maximum term of twenty years.

In underwriting one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, the Company evaluates the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments, the borrower’s prior loan repayment history and the value of the property securing the loan. The ability and willingness to repay is assessed based upon the borrower’s employment history, current financial conditions and credit background. A majority of the properties securing residential real estate loans made by the Company are appraised by independent appraisers. The Company generally requires mortgage loan borrowers to obtain an attorney’s title opinion or title insurance and fire and property insurance, including flood insurance, if applicable.

Residential mortgage loans, home equity term loans and home equity lines of credit generally present a lower level of risk than consumer loans because they are secured by the borrower’s primary residence. Risk is increased when the Company is in a subordinate position, especially to another lender, for the loan collateral.

Residential mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis determined by independent pricing from appropriate federal or state agency investors. These loans are sold without recourse. Loans held for sale amounted to $4,706,000 and $6,006,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Consumer Lending

The Company offers a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loans, including vehicle loans, stock secured loans and loans secured by financial institution deposits. These loans originate primarily within or with customers from the Company’s market area.

Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral and creditworthiness of the borrower. In underwriting personal loans, a thorough analysis is performed regarding the borrower’s willingness and financial ability to repay the loan as agreed. The ability and willingness to repay is assessed based upon the borrower’s employment history, current financial condition and credit background.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential real estate loans, particularly in the case of personal loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles or recreational equipment. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted personal loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, personal loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and therefore, are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

Coronavirus Pandemic Impact on the Loan Portfolio

As a result of the economic impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the CARES Act was enacted in the United States on March 27, 2020. The Company is approved by the SBA to fund loans under the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program created as part of the CARES Act. The PPP loans have 1.00% interest rates, lender fees, two or five-year terms (depending on date of origination), and may qualify for forgiveness. These loans funded by the Company are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to all loans made pursuant to the PPP, as administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. The PPP calls for these loans to be fully guaranteed by the SBA. PPP loan origination fees and certain loan origination costs have been deferred with the net amount accreted using the straight line method over the contractual life of the related loans as an interest yield adjustment. If a loan is forgiven pursuant to the terms and conditions applicable to the PPP, the remaining origination fees and costs are recognized at the time of forgiveness. All PPP loans are carried in the Company’s Commercial and Industrial loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2022, the Company held 51 PPP loans in its Commercial and Industrial portfolio which carried a balance of $1,244,000, of which 2 loans carrying an aggregate balance of $148,000 were granted during the first round of PPP issuance and 49 loans carrying an aggregate balance of $1,096,000 were granted during the second round of PPP issuance. At December 31, 2021, the Company held 122 PPP loans in its Commercial and Industrial portfolio, which carried an aggregate balance of $4,894,000, of which 2 loans carrying an aggregate balance of $160,000 were granted during the first round of PPP issuance and 120 loans carrying an aggregate balance of $4,734,000 were granted during the second round of PPP issuance.

An additional provision of the CARES Act, Section 4013 provides financial institutions the option to suspend requirements to categorize certain loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings as long as specific criteria are met. To qualify, the loan modifications must be made on a good-faith basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, must occur between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of September 30, 2021 or the termination date of the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic as declared by the President of the United States, and the loans must have been paid current (less than 30 days past due prior to any relief) as of December 31, 2019. In compliance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, the Company granted modification requests to defer principal and/or interest payments or modify interest rates on various loans across all portfolio segments. Of the loan modifications that were granted in compliance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, there were no loan modifications still actively on deferral as of March 31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021 when there was 1 loan modification still actively on deferral carrying a balance of $9,423,000. See page 22 for additional information regarding the Section 4013 CARES Act modifications.

Delinquent Loans

Generally, a loan is considered to be past-due when scheduled loan payments are in arrears 10 days or more. Delinquent notices are generated automatically when a loan is 10 or 15 days past-due, depending on loan type. Collection efforts continue on past-due loans that have not been brought current, when it is believed that some chance exists for improvement in the status of the loan. Past-due loans are continually evaluated with the determination for charge-off being made when no reasonable chance remains that the status of the loan can be improved.

Commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans are charged off in whole or in part when they become sufficiently delinquent based upon the terms of the underlying loan contract and when a collateral deficiency exists. Because all or part of the contractual cash flows are not expected to be collected, the loan is considered to be impaired, and the Company estimates the impairment based on its analysis of the cash flows or collateral estimated at fair value less cost to sell. Should a GGL default, demand is made to the originating bank for repurchase of the loan. If the originating bank does not repurchase the loan, demand for repurchase is then made to the appropriate government agency which has provided the guarantee for the loan.

Residential real estate and consumer loans are charged off when they become sufficiently delinquent based upon the terms of the underlying loan contract and when the value of the underlying collateral is not sufficient to support the loan balance and a loss is expected. At that time, the amount of estimated collateral deficiency, if any, is charged off for loans secured by collateral, and all other loans are charged off in full. Loans with collateral are written down to the estimated fair value of the collateral less cost to sell.

Existing loans in which the borrower has declared bankruptcy are considered on a case by case basis to determine whether repayment is likely to occur (eg. reaffirmation by the borrower with demonstrated repayment ability). Otherwise, loans are charged off in full or written down to the estimated fair value of collateral less cost to sell.

Generally, a loan is classified as non-accrual and the accrual of interest on such a loan is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is well secured (or supported by a strong guarantee) and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against interest income. Certain non-accrual loans may continue to perform; that is, payments are still being received. Generally, the payments are applied to principal. These loans remain under constant scrutiny, and if performance continues, interest income may be recorded on a cash basis based on management's judgment regarding the collectability of principal.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level estimated by management to be adequate to absorb potential loan losses. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. Select loans are not aggregated for collective impairment evaluation, as such; all loans are subject to individual impairment evaluation should the facts and circumstances pertinent to a particular loan suggest that such evaluation is necessary. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance may be allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s contractual rate at inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan may be reported at the net realizable value of the collateral. For TDRs that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers all other loans not identified as impaired (aside from GGLs, which do not require an allowance) and is based on historical losses and qualitative factors. The historical loss component of the allowance is determined by losses recognized by portfolio segment over an eight quarter lookback period that management has determined best represents the current credit cycle. Qualitative factors impacting each portfolio segment may include: delinquency trends, loan volume trends, Bank policy changes, management processes and oversight, economic trends (including change in consumer and business disposable incomes, unemployment and under-employment levels, and other conditions), concentrations by industry or product, internal and external loan review processes, collateral value and market conditions, and external factors including regulatory issues and competition.

GGLs do not require an associated allowance for loan losses due to the underlying irrevocable and unconditional guarantee, which is supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Should a GGL default, the loan will be repurchased by the originating bank or the appropriate government agency that has provided the guarantee for the loan.

Although PPP loans do not require an associated allowance for loan losses due to the program’s call for a full guarantee by the SBA, the Company has calculated a qualitative allocation for the PPP loans under the general component of the allowance for the Commercial and Industrial portfolio.

The unallocated component of the allowance is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A reserve for unfunded lending commitments is provided for possible credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of losses inherent in its unfunded loan commitments and, if necessary, is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amount of the reserve for unfunded lending commitments was $121,000 and $177,000, respectively.

The Company is subject to periodic examination by its federal and state examiners, and may be required by such regulators to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their assessment of credit information available to them at the time of their examinations.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the existing loan agreement. Under current accounting standards, the allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s contractual interest rate at inception or the net realizable value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.

From time to time, the Bank may agree to modify/restructure the contractual terms of a borrower's loan. The restructuring of a loan is considered a TDR if both the following conditions are met: (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, and (ii) the Company has granted a concession. The most common concessions granted include one or more modifications to the terms of the debt, such as (a) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the debt, (b) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, (c) a temporary period of interest-only payments, and (d) a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or remaining term of the loan. A less common concession is the forgiveness of a portion of the principal.

The determination of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties takes into account not only the current financial condition of the borrower, but also the potential financial condition of the borrower were a concession not granted. Similarly, the determination of whether a concession has been granted is subjective in nature. For example, simply extending the term of a loan at its original interest rate or even at a higher interest rate could be interpreted as a concession unless the borrower could readily obtain similar credit terms from a different lender.

Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are considered impaired and may or may not be placed on non-accrual status until the Company determines the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrates a period of performance according to the restructured terms of six months. Any loan modifications made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are not considered TDRs as long as the criteria set forth in Section 4013 of the CARES Act are met. See page 22 for further discussion of the Section 4013 CARES Act modifications.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix as a tool for managing credit risk in the loan portfolio and assigns an asset quality rating (risk grade) to all Commercial and Industrial, Commercial Real Estate, Residential Real Estate and Consumer borrowings. An asset quality rating is assigned using the guidance provided in the Company’s loan policy. Primary responsibility for assigning the asset quality rating rests with the credit department. The asset quality rating is validated periodically by both an internal and external loan review process.

The commercial loan grading system focuses on a borrower’s financial strength and performance, experience and depth of management, primary and secondary sources of repayment, the nature of the business and the outlook for the particular industry. Primary emphasis is placed on financial condition and trends. The grade also reflects current economic and industry conditions; as well as other variables such as liquidity, cash flow, revenue/earnings trends, management strengths or weaknesses, quality of financial information, and credit history.

The loan grading system for Residential Real Estate and Consumer loans focuses on the borrower’s credit score and credit history, debt-to-income ratio and income sources, collateral position and loan-to-value ratio.

Risk grade characteristics are as follows:

Risk Grade 1 – MINIMAL RISK through Risk Grade 6 – MANAGEMENT ATTENTION (Pass Grade Categories)

Risk is evaluated via examination of several attributes including but not limited to financial trends, strengths and weaknesses, likelihood of repayment when considering both cash flow and collateral, sources of repayment, leverage position, management expertise, and repayment history.

At the low-risk end of the rating scale, a risk grade of 1 – Minimal Risk is the grade reserved for loans with exceptional credit fundamentals and virtually no risk of default or loss. Loan grades then progress through escalating ratings of 2 through 6 based upon risk. Risk Grade 2 – Modest Risk are loans with sufficient cash flows; Risk Grade 3 – Average Risk are loans with key balance sheet ratios slightly above the borrower’s peers; Risk Grade 4 – Acceptable Risk are loans with key balance sheet ratios usually near the borrower’s peers, but one or more ratios may be higher; and Risk Grade 5 – Marginally Acceptable are loans with strained cash flow, increasing leverage and/or weakening markets. Risk Grade 6 – Management Attention are loans with weaknesses resulting from declining performance trends and the borrower’s cash flows may be temporarily strained. Loans in this category are performing according to terms, but present some type of potential concern.

Risk Grade 7 − SPECIAL MENTION (Non-Pass Category)

Assets in this category are adequately collateralized but have potential weakness which may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date. The loans may constitute increased credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard. No loss of principal or interest is envisioned, but risk is increasing beyond that at which the loan originally would have been granted. Historically, cash flows are inconsistent; financial trends show some deterioration. Liquidity and leverage are above industry averages. Financial information could be incomplete or inadequate. A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.

Risk Grade 8 − SUBSTANDARD (Non-Pass Category)

Generally, these assets are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have “well-defined” weaknesses that jeopardize the full liquidation of the debt.

These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the aggregate amount of substandard assets is not fully covered by the liquidation of the collateral used as security. Substandard loans have a high probability of payment default and require more intensive supervision by Company management.

Risk Grade 9 − DOUBTFUL (Non-Pass Category)

Generally, loans graded doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard loan with the added factor that the weaknesses are pronounced to a point whereby the basis of current information, conditions, and values, collection or liquidation in full is deemed to be highly improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the asset, its classification is deferred until, for example, a proposed merger, acquisition, liquidation procedure, capital injection, perfection of liens on additional collateral and/or refinancing plan is completed. Loans are graded doubtful if they contain weaknesses so serious that collection or liquidation in full is questionable.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by risk rating as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The outstanding recorded investment of TDRs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $7,736,000 and $8,020,000, respectively. The decrease in TDRs at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 is mainly attributable to regular principal payments and paydowns on existing TDRs that were completed during the three months ended March 31, 2022. There were no unfunded commitments on TDRs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

No loans were modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 when three loans with a combined post modification balance of $301,000 were modified as TDRs. The loan modifications for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted of two term modifications and one payment modification.

NOTE 5 — DEPOSITS

Major classifications of deposits at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of:


(Dollars in thousands)	March 31,		December 31,

Total deposits decreased $32,492,000 to $1,045,477,000 as of March 31, 2022 due to decreases in non-interest bearing, interest bearing demand and time deposits. The decrease in deposits was mainly the result of a $42,476,000 decrease in highly rate sensitive deposits and other normal fluctuations in deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

NOTE 6 — BORROWINGS

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Federal Discount Window, and Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) advances, which generally represent overnight or less than 30-day borrowings. Short-term borrowings and weighted–average interest rates at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Total	$	52,331	0.38	%	$	27,377	0.35	%

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (“Repurchase Agreements”)

The Company enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Company may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets.

As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing agreements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities asset accounts. In other words, there is not offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. In addition, as the Company does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements, there is no such offsetting to be done with the repurchase agreements.

The right of setoff for a repurchase agreement resembles a secured borrowing, whereby the collateral would be used to settle the fair value of the repurchase agreement should the Company be in default (e.g., fails to make an interest payment to the counterparty). The collateral is held by a correspondent bank in the counterparty’s custodial account. The counterparty has the right to sell or repledge the investment securities.

The following table presents the short-term borrowings subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Long-Term Borrowings and Letters of Credit

Long-term borrowings are comprised of advances from the FHLB.

Irrevocable standby letters of credit may be issued to a customer/beneficiary by the FHLB on the Company’s behalf in order to secure public/municipal unit deposits, provide credit enhancement to certain transaction types, or to support payment obligations to third parties. These irrevocable standby letters of credit are supported by an irrevocable and independent guarantee by the FHLB for the Company’s pledging obligation to secure public/municipal unit deposits which eliminates the need for the Company to pledge collateral in the amount necessary to secure these funds. The Company began utilizing this service offered by the FHLB during the second quarter of 2021. There were no irrevocable standby letters of credit which could be drawn on through FHLB’s close of business on March 31, 2022. Any irrevocable standby letters of credit are issued as necessary in an amount appropriate to secure specific public/municipal unit deposits.

Under terms of a blanket agreement, collateral for the FHLB loans and letters of credit consists of certain qualifying assets of the Corporation’s banking subsidiary. Principal qualifying assets are certain real estate mortgages and investment securities. As of March 31, 2022, loans of $615,523,000 were pledged to FHLB which resulted in a FHLB maximum borrowing capacity of $440,392,000. As of March 31, 2022, no securities were pledged as collateral to FHLB to secure FHLB loans and letters of credit.

NOTE 7 — SUBORDINATED DEBT

On December 10, 2020, the Corporation issued $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes due 2030 (the “2020 Notes”) to accredited investors. The 2020 Notes are intended to be treated as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds it received from the sale of the 2020 Notes to support organic growth and for general corporate purposes.

The 2020 Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 4.375% per year for the first five years and then float based on a benchmark rate (as defined). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, which began on June 30, 2021, for the first five years after issuance and will be payable quarterly in arrears thereafter on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The 2020 Notes will mature on December 31, 2030 and are redeemable in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time on or after December 31, 2025 and prior to December 31, 2030. Additionally, if all or any portion of the 2020 Notes cease to be deemed Tier 2 capital, the Corporation may redeem, in whole and not in part, at any time upon giving not less than ten days’ notice, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount outstanding plus accrued but unpaid interest to but excluding the date fixed for redemption.

Holders of the 2020 Notes may not accelerate the maturity of the 2020 Notes, except upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership or similar law of the Corporation or the Bank.

NOTE 8 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, there are various pending legal actions and proceedings that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe the outcome of these actions and proceedings will have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

The Bank currently leases three branch banking facilities and one parcel of land under operating leases. At March 31, 2022, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recorded related to these operating leases totaling $1,035,000 and $1,513,000, respectively. At December 31, 2021, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities stood at $1,025,000 and $1,499,000, respectively. Further options to extend or terminate the lease are not applicable for any of the four leases. No significant assumptions or judgements were made in determining whether a contract contained a lease or in the consideration of lease versus non-lease components. None of the leases contained an implicit rate; therefore, our incremental borrowing rate was used for each of the leases.

The Bank recognized total operating lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 of $45,000 and $44,000, respectively. Operating lease costs are included in occupancy, net in the accompanying statements of income. Cash payments totaled $41,000 and $39,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Bank currently has one finance lease for equipment. At March 31, 2022, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recorded related to the finance lease totaling $34,000 and $14,000, respectively. At December 31, 2021, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities stood at $34,000 and $16,000, respectively. Amounts recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to finance leases are included in premises and equipment, net and other liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying balance sheet. Further options to extend or terminate the lease are not applicable for the lease. No significant assumptions or judgements were made in determining whether a contract contained a lease or in the consideration of lease versus non-lease components. The lease did not contain an implicit rate; therefore, our incremental borrowing rate was used.

Total finance lease costs that were recognized by the Bank for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial. Cash payments totaled $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 9 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company does not engage in trading activities with respect to any of its financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The Company may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

The contract or notional amounts at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)
	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021

Financial standby letters of credit	$	2,326	$	2,000
Performance standby letters of credit	$	3,704	$	3,727

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

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee payment to a third party when a customer either fails to repay an obligation or fails to perform some non-financial obligation. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company may hold collateral (similar to the items held as collateral for commitments to extend credit) to support standby letters of credit for which collateral is deemed necessary.

Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company originates primarily commercial and residential real estate loans to customers in northeastern Pennsylvania. The ability of the majority of the Company’s customers to honor their contractual loan obligations is dependent on the economy and real estate market in this area. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $691,911,000 in loans secured by real estate, which represented 88.8% of total loans. The real estate loan portfolio is largely secured by lessors of residential buildings and dwellings, lessors of non-residential buildings, and lessors of hotels/motels. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management is of the opinion that there were no concentrations exceeding 10% of total loans with regard to loans to borrowers who were engaged in similar activities that were similarly impacted by economic or other conditions.

As all financial instruments are subject to some level of credit risk, the Company requires collateral and/or guarantees for all loans. Collateral may include, but is not limited to property, plant, and equipment, commercial and/or residential real estate property, land, and pledge of securities. In the event of a borrower’s default, the collateral supporting the loan may be seized in order to recoup losses associated with the loan. The Company also establishes an allowance for loan losses that constitutes the amount available to absorb losses within the loan portfolio that may exist due to deficiencies in collateral values.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell the asset or transfer the liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. This guidance provides additional information on determining when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. The guidance also includes information on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly.

Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance provides a list of factors that a reporting entity should evaluate to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. When the reporting entity concludes there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the information from

that market is needed and significant adjustments to the related prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance.

This guidance clarifies that when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, some transactions may not be orderly. In those situations, the entity must evaluate the weight of the evidence to determine whether the transaction is orderly. The guidance provides a list of circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly. A transaction price that is not associated with an orderly transaction is given little, if any, weight when estimating fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own belief about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based upon the best information available. Fair value measurement and disclosure guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Inputs: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3 Inputs: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

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

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation methods used are as follows:

The estimated fair values of equity securities and US Treasury debt securities classified as Level 1 are derived from quoted market prices in active markets; the equity securities consist mainly of stocks held in other banks. The estimated fair values of all debt securities classified as Level 2 are obtained from nationally-recognized third-party pricing agencies. The estimated fair values are derived primarily from cash flow models, which include assumptions for interest rates, credit losses, and prepayment speeds. The significant inputs utilized in the cash flow models are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (observable inputs), and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not have any Level 3 inputs for securities. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2022 or 2021.

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company’s impaired loan valuation procedure for any loans greater than $250,000 requires an appraisal to be obtained and reviewed annually at year end unless the Board of Directors waives such requirement for a specific loan, in favor of obtaining a Certificate of Inspection instead, defined as an internal evaluation completed by the Company. A quarterly collateral evaluation is performed which may include a site visit, property pictures and discussions with realtors and other similar business professionals to ascertain current values. For impaired loans less than $250,000 upon classification and annually at year end, the Company completes a Certificate of Inspection, which includes an onsite inspection, and considers value indicators such as insured values, tax assessed values, recent sales comparisons and a review of the previous evaluations.These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level that is

significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of the impaired loan balances less the valuation allowance and/or charge-offs. There were no transfers between valuation levels in 2022 and 2021.

Nonfinancial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

There were no foreclosed assets held for resale measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company’s foreclosed asset valuation procedure requires an appraisal or a Certificate of Inspection, which considers the sales prices of similar properties in the proximate vicinity, to be completed periodically with the exception of those cases in which the Bank has obtained a sales agreement. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level that is significant to the fair value measurements. There were no transfers between valuation levels in 2022 and 2021.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value:

NOTE 11 — REVENUE RECOGNITION

In accordance with ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Topic 606, and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606, the main types of revenue contracts included in non-interest income within the consolidated statements of income are as follows:

Deposits related fees and service charges

Service charges and fees on deposits, which are included as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, consist of fees related to monthly fees for various retail and business checking accounts, automated teller machine (“ATM”) fees (charged for withdrawals by our deposit customers from other bank ATMs) and insufficient funds fees (“NSF”) (which are charged when customers overdraw their accounts beyond available funds). All deposit liabilities are considered to have one-day terms and therefore related fees are recognized in income at the time when the services are provided to the customers. The Company elected to adopt practical expedient related to incremental costs of obtaining deposit contracts. As such, any costs associated with acquiring the deposits, except for time deposits with maturities in excess of one year, are recognized as an expense within non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income when incurred as the amortization period of the deposit liabilities that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less.

Wealth/Asset/Trust Management Fees

Wealth management services are delivered to individuals, corporations and retirement funds located primarily within our geographic markets. The Trust Department of the Company conducts the wealth management operations, which provides a broad range of personal and corporate fiduciary services, including the administration of estates.

Assets held in a fiduciary capacity by the Trust Department are not assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in our consolidated financial statements. Wealth management fees, which are contractually agreed with each customer, are earned each month and recognized on a cash basis based on average fair value of the trust assets under management. The services provided under such a contract are considered a single performance obligation under ASC 606 because they embody a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Wealth management fees charged by the Trust Department follow a tiered structure based on the type and size of the assets under management. Wealth management fees are included within non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of trust assets under management was $109,713,000 and $108,339,000, respectively. The costs of acquiring asset management customers are incremental and recognized within non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Interchange Fees and Surcharges

Interchange fees are related to the acceptance and settlement of debit card transactions, both point-of-sale and ATM, to cover operating costs and risks associated with the approval and settlement of the transactions. Interchange fees vary by type of transaction and each merchant sector. Net income recognized from interchange fees is included in non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income. A surcharge is assessed for use of the Company’s ATMs by non-customers. All interchange fees and surcharges are recognized as received on a daily basis for the prior business day’s transactions. All expenses related to the settlement of debit card transactions (both point-of-sale and ATM) are recognized on a monthly basis and included in non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 12 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no potential common shares outstanding. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.


(In thousands, except earnings per share)	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Net income	$	3,543	$	3,878
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		5,947		5,884
Basic and diluted earnings per share	$	0.60	$	0.66

NOTE 13 — GOODWILL

Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of the Pocono Community Bank in November 2007 and of certain fixed and operating assets acquired and deposit liabilities assumed of the branch of another financial institution in Danville, Pennsylvania, in January 2004. Such goodwill represents the excess cost of the acquired assets relative to the assets’ fair value at the dates of acquisition. In accordance with current accounting standards, goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill totaled $19,133,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Impairment testing is performed on an annual basis, using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The assumptions used in the impairment test of goodwill are susceptible to change based on changes in economic conditions and other factors, including our stock price. Any change in the assumptions utilized to determine the carrying value of goodwill could adversely affect our results of operations.

Goodwill was evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2021, and it was determined that goodwill was not impaired. Management evaluated the need for an interim goodwill impairment analysis and determined that there were no triggering events or negative factors affecting goodwill since the previous test that would indicate goodwill was impaired as of March 31, 2022.

Item 2. First Keystone Corporation Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements, which are included pursuant to the “safeharbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and reflect management’s beliefs and expectations based on information currently available. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including changes in general economic and financial market conditions, the Company’s ability to effectively carry out its business plans and changes in regulatory or legislative requirements. Other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are changes in competitive conditions, and pending or threatened litigation. Although management believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company has chosen accounting policies that it believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report its operating results and financial position, and the Company applies those accounting policies in a consistent manner. The Significant Accounting Policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the Critical Accounting Estimates since the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to quarter ended March 31, 2021

First Keystone Corporation realized earnings for the first quarter of 2022 of $3,543,000, a decrease of $335,000, or 8.6% from the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in non-interest income, mainly due to losses on sales of mortgage loans and net securities losses, as compared to gains on sales of mortgage loans and net securities gains realized during the same period in 2021.

On a per share basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, net income was $0.60 versus $0.66 for the same three month period of 2021. Cash dividends amounted to $0.28 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The major source of operating income for the Company is net interest income, defined as interest income less interest expense. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, interest income amounted to $10,629,000, an increase of $354,000 or 3.4% from the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in interest income was mainly the result of a $331,000 increase in interest earned on taxable securities and a $228,000 increase in interest earned on loans, offset by a $246,000 decrease in SBA PPP lender fees. Interest expense amounted to $1,173,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $132,000 or 10.1% from the three months ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to a $110,000 decrease in interest paid on deposits. As a result, net interest income increased $486,000 or 5.4% to $9,456,000 from $8,970,000 for the same period in 2021.

The Company’s net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 3.19% compared to 3.37% for same period in 2021. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily a result of a decrease in yields on loans.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $219,000 and $135,000, respectively. The increase in the provision for loan losses resulted from the Company’s analysis of the current loan portfolio, including historic losses, past-due trends, current economic conditions, loan portfolio growth, and other relevant factors. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is also reflective of

management’s assessment of the continued credit risk associated with the economic uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Charge-off and recovery activity in the allowance for loan losses resulted in net recoveries of $38,000 and net charge-offs of $21,000 for the the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Allowance for Loan Losses on page 40 for further discussion.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income was $1,389,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $1,875,000 for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $486,000, or 25.9%. The decrease was due to recognizing losses on the sales of mortgage loans and net securities losses on held equity securities during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to recognizing gains on both during the same period of 2021.

Net securities (losses) gains decreased $178,000 to ($63,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease was due to the Company recognizing $63,000 in losses on held equity securities in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to recognizing $115,000 in gains on held equity securities in the first quarter of 2021. Trust department income decreased $3,000 or 1.2% to $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

Service charges and fee income increased $134,000 or 35.7%. The increase was mainly due to increases in overdraft fees and prepayment penalties earned on commercial loan payoffs as compared to the same period in 2021. ATM fees and debit card income decreased $7,000 or 1.4% to $509,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(Losses) gains on sales of mortgage loans decreased $388,000 or 109.6% to ($34,000) due to a lower number of individual sold loans in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021. Many of the loans sold in the first quarter of 2022 were sold at a loss. Other non-interest income decreased $43,000 or 38.1% to $70,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was due to lower retail investment income as income from annuities was lower in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Total non-interest expense was $6,516,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $6,197,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Expenses associated with employees (salaries and employee benefits) continue to be the largest category of non-interest expense. Salaries and benefits amounted to $3,554,000 or 54.5% of total non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $3,300,000 or 53.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was mainly due to normal merit increases and new hires along with an increase in medical insurance costs since the first quarter of 2021.

Net occupancy, furniture and equipment, and computer expense amounted to $1,017,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $112,000 or 12.4% which was due to the implementation of several new software programs throughout 2021. Professional services increased $39,000 or 15.1% to $298,000 as of March 31, 2022. The increase was mainly the result of an increase in consulting expense as the result of strategic planning and consulting services associated with implementing new internal systems contracts. Pennsylvania shares tax expense amounted to $324,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $11,000 or 3.5% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was the result of an increase in total equity.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense increased $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. FDIC insurance expense varies with changes in net asset size, risk ratings, and FDIC derived assessment rates.

ATM and debit card fees expense amounted to $128,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $72,000 or 36.0% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was the result of negotiations on new internal systems contracts resulting in relationship credits that were applied to the expenses related to those

systems. Data processing expenses amounted to $258,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $294,000 for the same period of 2020, a decrease of $36,000 or 12.2%. This decrease was also the result of the negotiations on new internal systems contracts.

Foreclosed assets held for resale expense decreased $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022 the Company did not own any foreclosed properties. Advertising expense amounted to $72,000 in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021.

Other non-interest expense amounted to $728,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $36,000 or 4.7% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the provision for unfunded commitments due to a decrease in commercial real estate commitments in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense amounted to $567,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $635,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $68,000. The effective total income tax rate was 13.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 14.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate was mainly due to lower overall operating income. The Company recognized $74,000 and $101,000 of tax credits from low-income housing partnerships in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

SUMMARY

Total assets decreased to $1,297,087,000 as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of $23,263,000 from year-end 2021. Total assets as of December 31, 2021 amounted to $1,320,350,000.

Total debt securities available-for-sale decreased $3,035,000 or 0.7% to $434,881,000 as of March 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021.

Total loans increased $26,187,000 or 3.5% to $779,028,000 as of March 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021. Loan demand grew in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as the Bank has realized an increase in loan originations, primarily in the commercial real estate portfolio.

Total deposits decreased $32,492,000 or 3.0% to $1,045,477,000 as of March 31, 2022 from December 31, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in highly rate sensitive deposits and other normal fluctuations.

The Company continues to maintain and manage its asset growth. The Company’s strong equity capital position provides an opportunity to further leverage its asset growth. Total borrowings increased in the three months ended March 31, 2022 by $24,954,000 to $87,331,000 from $62,377,000 as of December 31, 2021. Borrowings increased mainly due to decreased deposit balances and growth in the loan portfolio.

Total stockholders’ equity decreased to $133,555,000 at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $15,000,000 or 10.1% from December 31, 2021 due to a decrease in the market value of the securities portfolio resulting in an accumulated other comprehensive loss position.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Currently, management measures the performance and allocates the resources of the Company as a single segment.

EARNING ASSETS

Earning assets are defined as those assets that produce interest income. By maintaining a healthy asset utilization rate, i.e., the volume of earning assets as a percentage of total assets, the Company maximizes income. The earning asset ratio (average interest earning assets divided by average total assets) equaled 94.4% at March 31, 2022 and 93.9% at March 31, 2021. This indicates that the management of earning assets is a priority and non-earning assets, primarily cash and due from banks, fixed assets and other assets, are maintained at minimal levels. The primary earning assets are loans and securities.

Our primary earning asset, total loans, increased to $779,028,000 as of March 31, 2022, up $26,187,000, or 3.5% since year-end 2021. The loan portfolio continues to be well diversified. Non-performing assets decreased since year-end 2021, but overall asset quality has remained consistent. Total non-performing assets were $7,018,000 as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of $48,000, or 0.7% from $7,066,000 reported in non-performing assets as of December 31, 2021. Total allowance for loan losses to total non-performing assets was 127.34% as of March 31, 2022 and 122.84% at December 31, 2021. See the Non-Performing Assets section on page 42 for more information.

In addition to loans, another primary earning asset is our overall securities portfolio, which decreased in size from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022. Debt securities available-for-sale amounted to $434,881,000 as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of $3,035,000 from year-end 2021. The decrease in debt securities available-for-sale is mainly due to a $21,876,000 decrease in the market value of the portfolio as a result of the current interest rate environment, offset by the deployment of $34,314,000 in cash to purchase debt securities, along with other portfolio activity.

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased as of March 31, 2022, to $1,068,000 from $51,738,000 at year-end 2021 due to decreased cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank. Time deposits with other banks were $0 at March 31, 2022 and $247,000 at December 31, 2021 due to the maturity of the one remaining time deposit.

LOANS

Total loans increased to $779,028,000 as of March 31, 2022 as compared to $752,841,000 as of December 31, 2021. The table on page 19 provides data relating to the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio on the dates indicated. Total loans increased by $26,187,000 or 3.5%.

Steady demand for borrowing by businesses accounted for the 3.5% increase in the loan portfolio from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022. Overall, the Commercial and Industrial portfolio (which includes tax-free Commercial and Industrial loans) decreased $695,000 or 0.8% from $82,526,000 at December 31, 2021 to $81,831,000 at March 31, 2022. The decrease in the Commercial and Industrial portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was mainly attributable to a reduction of $3,650,000 in the portion of the Commercial and Industrial portfolio attributable to SBA PPP loans, the balance of which decreased from $4,894,000 at December 31, 2021 to $1,244,000 at March 31, 2022, as a result of loan forgiveness. The portion of the Commercial and Industrial portfolio excluding SBA PPP loans increased $2,955,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, mainly resulting from $3,246,000 in new loan originations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and an increase in utilization of existing Commercial and Industrial lines of credit of $2,013,000, offset by loan payoffs of $808,000 and regular principal payments and other typical fluctuations in the Commercial and Industrial portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Commercial Real Estate portfolio (which includes tax-free Commercial Real Estate loans) increased $28,267,000 or 5.4% from $521,654,000 at December 31, 2021 to $549,921,000 at March 31, 2022. The increase is mainly attributable to new loan originations of $53,605,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, offset by loan payoffs of $23,289,000 and a decrease in utilization of existing Commercial Real Estate lines of credit of $1,002,000, as well as regular principal payments and other typical amortization in the Commercial Real Estate portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Residential Real Estate loans decreased $1,393,000 or 1.0% from $143,383,000 at December 31, 2021 to $141,990,000 at March 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly the result of $7,180,000 in new loan originations and an increase in utilization of existing Residential Real Estate (Home Equity) lines of credit of $1,018,000, offset by net loans sold of $2,719,000, loan payoffs of $6,294,000 (of which $1,872,000 was refinanced with the Bank during the three months ended March 31,2022 with the new refinanced loan balances included in the new

loan origination total), and regular principal payments and other typical amortization in the Residential Real Estate portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net loans sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted of total loans sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022 of 4,463,000, offset with loans opened and sold in the same quarter during the first quarter of 2022 which amounted to $1,744,000. The Company continues to originate and sell certain long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans which conform to secondary market requirements. The Company derives ongoing income from the servicing of mortgages sold in the secondary market. The Company continues its efforts to lend to creditworthy borrowers.

Management believes that the loan portfolio is well diversified. The total commercial portfolio was $631,752,000 at March 31, 2022. Of total loans, $549,921,000 or 70.6% were secured by commercial real estate, primarily lessors of residential buildings and dwellings and lessors of non-residential buildings. The Company continues to monitor these portfolios.

Overall, the portfolio risk profile as measured by loan grade is considered low risk, as $753,796,000 or 96.9% of gross loans are graded Pass; $2,319,000 or 0.3% are graded Special Mention; $21,772,000 or 2.8% are graded Substandard; and $0 are graded Doubtful. The rating is intended to represent the best assessment of risk available at a given point in time, based upon a review of the borrower’s financial statements, credit analysis, payment history with the Bank, credit history and lender knowledge of the borrower. See Note 4 — Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses for risk grading tables.

Overall, non-pass grades decreased to $24,091,000 at March 31, 2022, as compared to $24,737,000 at December 31, 2021. Commercial and Industrial non-pass grades decreased to $774,000 as of March 31, 2022 as compared to $796,000 as of December 31, 2021. Commercial Real Estate non-pass grades decreased to $21,837,000 as of March 31, 2022 as compared to $22,346,000 as of December 31, 2021. The Residential Real Estate and Consumer loan non-pass grades decreased to $1,480,000 as of March 31, 2022 as compared to $1,595,000 as of December 31, 2021.

The Company continues to internally underwrite each of its loans to comply with prescribed policies and approval levels established by its Board of Directors.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses constitutes the amount available to absorb losses within the loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses was $8,937,000 as compared to $8,680,000 as of December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expenses. Loans are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. The risk characteristics of the loan portfolio are managed through various control processes, including credit evaluations of individual borrowers, periodic reviews, and diversification by industry. Risk is further mitigated through the application of lending procedures such as the holding of adequate collateral and the establishment of contractual guarantees.

Management performs a quarterly analysis to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The methodology in determining adequacy incorporates specific and general allocations together with a risk/loss analysis on various segments of the portfolio according to an internal loan review process. This assessment results in an allocated

allowance. Management maintains its loan review and loan classification standards consistent with those of its regulatory supervisory authority.

Management considers, based upon its methodology, that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover foreseeable future losses. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates the qualitative factors utilized in the calculation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses and various adjustments are made to these factors as deemed necessary at the time of evaluation. The economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has played a large role in the qualitative factor adjustments that have been implemented throughout 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. Qualitative factors remained unchanged during the first quarter of 2021, as the economy and unemployment levels showed marked improvement over the prior quarter. During the second quarter of 2021, the qualitative factors related to the local/regional economy were decreased by one basis point across all loan segments, as the economy and job growth in the Company’s market areas demonstrated marked improvement over the prior quarter, and the qualitative factor related to collateral values was increased by one basis point for both the Commercial Real Estate and Residential Real Estate portfolio segments due to increasing market values in the real estate sector. Qualitative factors remained unchanged during the third quarter of 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the qualitative factors related to external factors/conditions were increased by one basis point across all loan segments due increased inflation rates, as well as elevated unemployment levels (although improved from 2020 and early 2021) and the uncertainty of how broad the changes implemented by the Federal Reserve would be, and the qualitative factors related to collateral values were increased by one basis point across all loan segments, as collateral values continued to artificially increase as individuals were willing to pay above-average market prices in all sectors. During the first quarter of 2022, the qualitative factors related to the local/regional economy were increased by one basis point across all loan segments due to ongoing economic uncertainty resulting from supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts in foreign countries causing inflationary pressures due to reductions/disruptions in the production of the commodities controlled by these countries, increased interest rates, and the overall inflation rate continuing to rise. Modifications granted in compliance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act were highest in the Commercial Real Estate portfolio segment, the long-term effects of which are still very unclear, as there is still economic uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in relation to this segment of the Company’s loan portfolio. See Allowance for Loan Losses on page 15 for further discussion.

The Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses table contains an analysis of the allowance for loan losses indicating charge-offs and recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Net recoveries as a percentage of average loans was 0.005% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans was 0.003% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net recoveries amounted to $38,000 the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to net charge-offs of $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the provision for loan losses was $219,000 as compared to $135,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The provision, net of charge-offs and recoveries, resulted in the quarter end allowance for loan losses of $8,937,000 of which 7.5% was attributed to the Commercial and Industrial component; 64.4% attributed to the Commercial Real Estate component; 17.2% attributed to the Residential Real Estate component; 0.9% attributed to the Consumer component; and 10.0% being the unallocated component (refer to the activity in Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses on page 15). The Company determined that the provision for loan losses made during the current quarter was sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level necessary for the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2022.

It is the policy of management and the Company’s Board of Directors to make a provision for both identified and unidentified losses inherent in its loan portfolio. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based upon an evaluation of the potential losses in the loan portfolio. This evaluation takes into account such factors as portfolio concentrations, delinquency trends, trends of non-accrual and classified loans, economic conditions, and other relevant factors.

The loan review process, which is conducted quarterly, is an integral part of the Bank’s evaluation of the loan portfolio. A detailed quarterly analysis to determine the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses is reviewed by the Board of Directors.

With the Bank’s manageable level of net charge-offs and recoveries along with the additions to the reserve from the provision out of operations, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of average loans amounted to 1.167% and 1.116% at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

The table on page 45 details the Company’s non-performing assets and impaired loans as of the dates indicated. Generally, a loan is classified as non-accrual and the accrual of interest on such a loan is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against current period income. A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession that the Company would not otherwise consider. Modifications to loans classified as TDRs generally include reductions in contractual interest rates, principal deferments and extensions of maturity dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market for a new loan with similar risk characteristics. While unusual, there may be instances of loan principal forgiveness. Any loan modifications made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

are not considered TDRs as long as the criteria set forth in Section 4013 of the CARES Act are met. Foreclosed assets held for resale represent property acquired through foreclosure, or considered to be an in-substance foreclosure.

Total non-performing assets amounted to $7,018,000 as of March 31, 2022, as compared to $7,066,000 as of December 31, 2021. The economy is very unstable. The unemployment rate has dropped significantly compared to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the labor force participation rate has also fallen. The need for workers has driven wages up in most sectors. Inflation is causing extreme concerns in all areas of the economy. The war abroad and its effects on various commodities are pushing inflationary concerns. Values of new and used homes and automobiles continue to climb. The Federal Reserve has indicated a plan to raise interest rates at an accelerated level throughout the year and there has been a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in some areas of the country and world. These forces have had a direct effect on the Company’s non-performing assets. The Company is closely monitoring its Commercial Real Estate portfolio because of the current uncertain economic environment. Non-accrual loans totaled $7,018,000 as of March 31, 2022, as compared to $7,066,000 as of December 31, 2021. There were no foreclosed assets held for resale as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There were no loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Non-performing assets to total loans was 0.90% at March 31, 2022 and 0.94% at December 31, 2021. Non-performing assets to total assets was 0.54% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The allowance for loan losses to total non-performing assets was 127.34% as of March 31, 2022 as compared to 122.84% as of December 31, 2021. Additional detail can be found on page 45 in the Non-Performing Assets and Impaired Loans table and page 24 in the Non-Performing Assets table. Asset quality is a priority and the Company retains a full-time loan review officer to closely track and monitor overall loan quality, along with a full-time loan workout department to manage collection and liquidation efforts.

Performing substandard loans which are not deemed to be impaired have characteristics that cause management to have doubts regarding the ability of the borrower to perform under present loan repayment terms and which may result in reporting these loans as non-performing loans in the future. Performing substandard loans not deemed to be impaired amounted to $10,113,000 at March 31, 2022, compared to $10,463,000 at December 31, 2021.

Impaired loans were $13,373,000 at March 31, 2022 and $13,673,000 at December 31, 2021. The largest impaired loan relationship at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of a non-performing loan to a student housing holding company which was secured by commercial real estate. At March 31, 2022, the loan carried a balance of $3,090,000, net of $1,989,000 that had been charged off to date, compared to December 31, 2021 when the loan carried a balance of $3,090,000, net of $1,989,000 that had been charged off to date. The second largest impaired loan relationship at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of one performing loan to a student housing holding company, which was classified as a TDR. The loan was secured by commercial real estate and carried a balance of $2,846,000 as of March 31, 2022, net of $943,000 that had been charged off to date, compared to December 31, 2021 when the loan carried a balance of $2,864,000, net of $943,000 that had been charged off to date. The third largest impaired loan relationship at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of five non-performing loans to a plastic processing company focused on non-post-consumer recycling. Three loans were classified in the Commercial and Industrial portfolio and modified as TDRs and two loans were secured by commercial real estate. The loans carried an aggregate balance of $1,153,000 at March 31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021 when the loans carried an aggregate balance of $1,176,000.

The Company estimates impairment based on its analysis of the cash flows or collateral estimated at fair value less cost to sell. For collateral dependent loans, the estimated appraisal or other qualitative adjustments and cost to sell percentages are determined based on the market area in which the real estate securing the loan is located, among other factors, and therefore, can differ from one loan to another. Of the $13,373,000 in impaired loans at March 31, 2022, none were located outside of the Company’s primary market area.

The outstanding recorded investment of TDRs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $7,736,000 and $8,020,000, respectively. The decrease in TDRs at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 is mainly attributable to regular principal payments and paydowns on existing TDRs that were completed during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Of the twenty-eight restructured loans at March 31, 2022, four loans were classified in the

Commercial and Industrial portfolio, twenty-three loans were classified in the Commercial Real Estate portfolio, and one loan was classified in the Residential Real Estate portfolio. Troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2022 consisted of ten term modifications beyond the original stated term, three rate modifications, and fourteen payment modifications. There was also one troubled debt restructuring that experienced all three types of modifications—payment, rate, and term. TDRs are separately evaluated for payment disclosures, and if necessary, a specific allocation is established. There were no specific allocations attributable to the TDRs at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. There were no unfunded commitments attributable to the TDRs at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company’s non-accrual loan valuation procedure for any loans greater than $250,000 requires an appraisal to be obtained and reviewed annually at year end, unless the Board of Directors waives such requirement for a specific loan, in favor of obtaining a Certificate of Inspection instead, defined as an internal evaluation completed by the Company. A quarterly collateral evaluation is performed which may include a site visit, property pictures and discussions with realtors and other similar business professionals to ascertain current values.

For non-accrual loans less than $250,000 upon classification and typically at year end, the Company completes a Certificate of Inspection, which includes the results of an onsite inspection, and may consider value indicators such as insured values, tax assessed values, recent sales comparisons and a review of the previous evaluations.

Improving loan quality is a priority. The Company actively works with borrowers to resolve credit problems and will continue its close monitoring efforts in 2022. Excluding the assets disclosed in the Non-Performing Assets and Impaired Loans tables below and the Troubled Debt Restructurings section in Note 4 — Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, management is not aware of any information about borrowers’ possible credit problems which cause serious doubt as to their ability to comply with present loan repayment terms.

In addition, regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examinations, periodically review the allowance for possible loan losses. They may require additions to allowances based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time of examination.

The economic climate remains uncertain at this time. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused much upheaval and uncertainty in the national and state economy and experts at all levels are attempting to calculate the intermediate or long term affects. The Company may experience difficulties collecting payments on time from its borrowers, and certain types of loans may need to be modified, which could cause a rise in the level of impaired loans, non-performing assets, charge-offs, and delinquencies. Should such metrics increase, additions to the balance of the Company’s allowance for loan losses could be required. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments including inflationary pressures, the labor force, supply bottlenecks, the government’s ability to respond to foreign and domestic issues, and the effectiveness in controlling the lingering effects of the outbreak, etc. and any after-effects of these factors. These factors may not immediately impact the Company’s operational and financial performance, as the effects of these factors may lag into the future. The Company is also susceptible to the impact of economic and fiscal policy factors that may evolve in the post-pandemic environment.

A concentration of credit exists when the total amount of loans to borrowers, who are engaged in similar activities that are similarly impacted by economic or other conditions, exceed 10% of total loans. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, management is of the opinion that there were no loan concentrations exceeding 10% of total loans.

Real estate mortgages comprise 88.8% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2022, as compared to 88.3% as of December 31, 2021. Real estate mortgages consist of both residential and commercial real estate loans. The real estate loan portfolio is well diversified in terms of borrowers, collateral, interest rates, and maturities. Also, the residential real estate loan portfolio is largely comprised of fixed rate mortgages. The real estate loans are concentrated primarily in the Company’s market area and are subject to risks associated with the local economy. The commercial real estate loans typically reprice approximately every three to five years and are also concentrated in the Company’s market area. The Company’s loss exposure on its impaired loans continues to be mitigated by collateral positions on these loans. The allocated allowance for loan losses associated with impaired loans is generally computed based upon the related collateral value of the loans. The collateral values are determined by recent appraisals or Certificates of Inspection, but are generally discounted by management based on historical dispositions, changes in market conditions since the last valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the borrower and the borrower’s business.

DEPOSITS, OTHER BORROWED FUNDS AND SUBORDINATED DEBT

Consumer and commercial retail deposits are attracted primarily by the Bank’s eighteen full service office locations, one loan production office and through its internet banking presence. The Bank offers a broad selection of deposit products and continually evaluates its interest rates and fees on deposit products. The Bank regularly reviews competing financial institutions’ interest rates, especially when establishing interest rates on certificates of deposit.

Total deposits decreased $32,492,000 to $1,045,477,000 as of March 31, 2022 as non-interest bearing deposits decreased by $7,440,000 and interest bearing deposits decreased by $25,052,000 from year-end 2021. The decrease in deposits was the result of a $42,476,000 decrease in highly rate sensitive deposits and other normal fluctuations. Total

short-term and long-term borrowings increased to $87,331,000 as of March 31, 2022, from $62,377,000 at year-end 2021, an increase of $24,954,000 or 40.0%. The increase in total borrowings was mainly the result of increased short-term borrowings as deposits decreased and cash balances were deployed into earning assets.

On December 10, 2020, the Corporation issued $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes due December 31, 2030 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are intended to be treated as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The 2020 Notes bear a fixed interest rate of 4.375% per year for the first five years and then float based on a benchmark rate (as defined).

CAPITAL STRENGTH

Normal increases in capital are generated by net income, less dividends paid out. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net income less dividends paid increased capital by $1,878,000. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income derived from net unrealized gains on debt securities available-for-sale also impacts capital. At December 31, 2021 accumulated other comprehensive income was $7,588,000. Accumulated other comprehensive loss stood at ($9,694,000) at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $17,282,000. Fluctuations in interest rates have regularly impacted the gain/loss position in the Bank’s securities portfolio, as well as its decision to sell securities at a gain or loss. The fluctuations from net unrealized gains on debt securities available-for-sale do not affect regulatory capital, as the Bank elected to opt-out of the inclusion of this item with the filing of the March 31, 2015 Call Report.

The Company held 231,611 shares of common stock as treasury stock at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. This had an effect of reducing our total stockholders’ equity by $5,709,000 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Total stockholders’ equity was $133,555,000 as of March 31, 2022, and $148,555,000 as of December 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022 the Bank met the definition of a “well-capitalized” institution under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action and the minimum capital requirements under Basel III. The following table presents the Bank’s capital ratios as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:



					To Be Well
					Capitalized
					Under Prompt
	March 31,		December 31,		Corrective Action
	2022		2021		Regulations
Tier 1 leverage ratio (to average assets)	10.56	%	10.14	%	5.00	%
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (to risk-weighted assets)	15.40	%	15.52	%	6.50	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (to risk-weighted assets)	15.40	%	15.52	%	8.00	%
Total risk-based capital ratio	16.44	%	16.57	%	10.00	%

Under the final capital rules that became effective on January 1, 2015, there was a requirement for a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets which is in addition to the other minimum risk-based capital standards in the rule. Institutions that do not maintain this required capital buffer will become subject to progressively more stringent limitations on the percentage of earnings that can be paid out in dividends or used for stock repurchases and on the payment of discretionary bonuses to senior executive management. The capital buffer requirement was phased in over three years beginning in 2016. The capital buffer requirement effectively raises the minimum required common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0%, the Tier 1 capital ratio to 8.5%, and the total capital ratio to 10.5% on a fully phased-in basis as of January 1, 2019. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis.

The Corporation’s capital ratios are not materially different than those of the Bank.

LIQUIDITY

The Company’s objective is to maintain adequate liquidity to meet funding needs at a reasonable cost and provide contingency plans to meet unanticipated funding needs or a loss of funding sources, while minimizing interest rate risk. Adequate liquidity is needed to provide the funding requirements of depositors’ withdrawals, loan growth, and other operational needs.

Sources of liquidity are as follows:

●

Growth in the core deposit base;

●

Proceeds from sales or maturities of securities;

●

Payments received on loans and mortgage-backed securities;

●

Overnight correspondent bank borrowings on various credit lines, notes, etc., with various levels of capacity;

●

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase; and

●

Brokered CDs.

At March 31, 2022 the Company had $440,392,000 in maximum borrowing capacity at FHLB (inclusive of the outstanding balances of FHLB long-term notes, FHLB short-term borrowings, and irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by FHLB); the maximum borrowing capacity at ACBB was $15,000,000 and the maximum borrowing capacity of the Federal Discount Window was $2,912,000.

The Company enters into “Repurchase Agreements” in which it agrees to sell securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Because the agreement both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets, the Company may transfer legal control of the securities while still retaining effective control. As a result, the repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing agreements (secured borrowings) and act as an additional source of liquidity. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were $24,082,000 at March 31, 2022.

Asset liquidity is provided by securities maturing in one year or less, other short-term investments, federal funds sold, and cash and due from banks. The liquidity is augmented by repayment of loans and cash flows from mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Liability liquidity is accomplished primarily by maintaining a core deposit base, acquired by attracting new deposits and retaining maturing deposits. Also, short-term borrowings provide funds to meet liquidity needs.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $5,448,000 and $2,233,000 as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net income amounted to $3,543,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $3,878,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, net premium amortization on securities amounted to $838,000 and $658,000, respectively. Net losses on sales of mortgage loans amounted to $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to gains on sales of mortgage loans of $354,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Proceeds (net of gains/losses) from sales of mortgage loans originated for resale exceeded originations of mortgage loans originated for resale by $1,228,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and originations of mortgage loans originated for resale exceeded proceeds (net of gains/losses) from sales of mortgage loans originated for resale by $1,984,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net securities losses amounted to $63,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net securities gains of $115,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Accrued interest receivable decreased by $40,000 and $186,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other assets increased by $655,000 and $889,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other liabilities decreased by $347,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and increased by $433,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Investing activities used cash of $48,070,000 and $26,534,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net activity in the available-for-sale securities portfolio (including proceeds from maturities and redemptions, net against purchases) used cash of $19,679,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $26,687,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Changes in restricted investment in bank stocks used cash of

$1,130,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and provided cash of $200,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net cash used to originate loans amounted to $27,411,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $62,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Financing activities used cash of $8,817,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and provided cash of $37,015,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Deposits decreased by $32,492,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to an increase of $40,369,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Short-term borrowings increased by $24,954,000 and $2,929,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. No repayment of long-term borrowings transpired during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 when repayment of long-term borrowings used cash of $5,000,000. Dividends paid amounted to $1,665,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1,647,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Managing liquidity remains an important segment of asset/liability management. The overall liquidity position of the Company is maintained by an active asset/liability management committee. The Company believes that its core deposit base is stable even in periods of changing interest rates. Liquidity and funds management are governed by policies and are measured on a monthly basis. These measurements indicate that liquidity generally remains stable and exceeds the Company’s minimum defined levels of adequacy. Other than the trends of continued competitive pressures and volatile interest rates, there are no known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. Given our financial strength, we expect to be able to maintain adequate liquidity as we manage through the current environment, utilizing current funding options and possibly utilizing new options.

MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and equity prices. The Company’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The Company’s interest rate risk results from timing differences in the repricing of assets, liabilities, off-balance sheet instruments, and changes in relationships between rate indices and the potential exercise of explicit or embedded options.

Increases in the level of interest rates also may adversely affect the fair value of the Company’s securities and other earning assets. Generally, the fair value of fixed-rate instruments fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could result in decreases in the fair value of the Company’s interest-earning assets, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations if sold, or, in the case of interest-earning assets classified as available-for-sale, the Company’s stockholders’ equity, if retained. Under FASB ASC 320-10, Investments – Debt Securities, changes in the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, on debt securities classified as available-for-sale are reflected in the Company’s stockholders’ equity. The Company does not own any trading assets.

Asset/Liability Management

The principal objective of asset/liability management is to manage the sensitivity of the net interest margin to potential movements in interest rates and to enhance profitability through returns from managed levels of interest rate risk. The Company actively manages the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. Several techniques are used for measuring interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate risk arises from the mismatches in the repricing of assets and liabilities within a given time period, referred to as a rate sensitivity gap. If more assets than liabilities mature or reprice within the time frame, the Company is asset sensitive. This position would contribute positively to net interest income in a rising rate environment. Conversely, if more liabilities mature or reprice, the Company is liability sensitive. This position would contribute positively to net interest income in a falling rate environment. The Company’s cumulative gap at one year indicates the Company is liability sensitive at March 31, 2022.

Earnings at Risk

The Bank’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. The guidelines established by ALCO are reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company recognizes that more sophisticated tools exist for measuring the interest rate risk in the balance sheet beyond interest rate sensitivity gap. Although the Company continues to measure its interest rate sensitivity gap, the Company utilizes additional modeling for interest rate risk in the overall balance sheet. Earnings at risk and economic values at risk are analyzed.

Earnings simulation modeling addresses earnings at risk and net present value estimation addresses economic value at risk. While each of these interest rate risk measurements has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk to the Company.

Earnings Simulation Modeling

The Company’s net income is affected by changes in the level of interest rates. Net income is also subject to changes in the shape of the yield curve. For example, a flattening of the yield curve would result in a decline in earnings due to the compression of earning asset yields and increased liability rates, while a steepening would result in increased earnings as earning asset and interest-bearing liability yields widen.

Earnings simulation modeling is the primary mechanism used in assessing the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. The model reflects management’s assumptions related to asset yields and rates paid on liabilities, deposit sensitivity, size and composition of the balance sheet. The assumptions are based on what management believes at that time to be the most likely interest rate environment. Earnings at risk is the change in net interest income from a base case scenario under various scenarios of rate shock increases and decreases in the interest rate earnings simulation model.

The table on the next page presents an analysis of the changes in net interest income and net present value of the balance sheet resulting from various increases or decreases in the level of interest rates, such as two percentage points (200 basis points) in the level of interest rates. The calculated estimates of change in net interest income and net present value of the balance sheet are compared to current limits approved by ALCO and the Board of Directors. The earnings simulation model projects net interest income would decrease 7.63%, 14.22% and 20.45% in the 100, 200 and 300 basis point increasing rate scenarios presented. In addition, the earnings simulation model projects net interest income would decrease 0.05% and 4.99% in the 100 and 200 basis point decreasing rate scenarios presented. All of these forecasts are within the Company’s one year policy guidelines.

The analysis and model used to quantify the sensitivity of net interest income becomes less reliable in a decreasing rate scenario given the current unprecedented low interest rate environment with federal funds trading in the 25 - 50 basis point range. Results of the decreasing basis point declining scenarios are affected by the fact that many of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities are at rates below 1% and therefore likely may not decline 100 or more basis points. However, the Company’s interest-sensitive assets are able to decline by these amounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities averaged 0.51%, and the yield on interest-earning assets, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, averaged 3.57%.

Net Present Value Estimation

The net present value measures economic value at risk and is used for helping to determine levels of risk at a point in time present in the balance sheet that might not be taken into account in the earnings simulation model. The net present value of the balance sheet is defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the discounted present value of liability cash flows. At March 31, 2022, net present value is projected to increase 4.52%, 1.23%, and 5.67% in the 100, 200, and 300 basis point immediate increase scenarios, respectively. Additionally, the 100 and 200 basis point immediate decrease scenarios are estimated to affect net present value with a decrease of 16.75% and 51.31%, respectively. These scenarios presented are within the Company’s policy limits, aside from the 200 basis point immediate decrease scenario at (51.31)% vs. a policy limit of (30.0)%.

The computation of the effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on many assumptions. They should not be relied upon solely as being indicative of actual results, since the computations do not account for actions management could undertake in response to changes in interest rates.
