NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOL IDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Principles of Consolidation:

Farmers National Banc Corp. (“Company”) is a Financial Holding Company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company provides full banking services through its nationally chartered subsidiary, The Farmers National Bank of Canfield (“Bank”).  The Bank acquired Bowers Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Bowers”) and consolidated the activity of the Bowers with Farmers National Insurance (“Insurance”) during 2016. The Company acquired First National Bank of Orrville (“First National Bank”) a subsidiary of National Bancshares Corporation (“NBOH”) and 1 st National Community Bank (“FNCB”) a subsidiary of Tri-State 1 st Banc, Inc. (“Tri-State”) during 2015 and consolidated all activity of both acquisitions within the Bank.  Farmers National Captive, Inc. (“Captive”) was formed during the third quarter of 2016 and is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company that provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and its subsidiaries.  The Captive pools resources with thirteen other similar insurance company subsidiaries of financial institutions to spread a limited amount of risk among themselves and to provide insurance where not currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance market place.  The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of the Farmers National Bank of Canfield’s subsidiaries; Farmers National Insurance and Farmers of Canfield Investment Co. (“Investments”).  The Company provides trust services through its subsidiary, Farmers Trust Company (“Trust”), retirement consulting services through National Associates, Inc. (“NAI”) and insurance services through the Bank’s subsidiary, Insurance.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and its subsidiaries, along with the Trust, NAI and Captive. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report to Shareholders included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Certain items included in the prior period financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. There was no effect on net income or total stockholders’ equity.

Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segments:

The Company provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies in northeastern Ohio.  Operations are managed and financial performance is primarily aggregated and reported in three lines of business, the Bank segment, the Trust segment and the Retirement Consulting segment.

Comprehensive Income:

Comprehensive income(loss) consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income(loss) consists of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and changes in the funded status of the post-retirement health plan, which are recognized as separate components of equity, net of tax effects. For all periods presented there was no change in the funded status of the post-retirement health plan.

New Accounting Standards:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13: Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments .  The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates.  Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of

7


expected credit losses.  Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances.  Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 1 5 , 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Entities will apply the standard's provisions a s a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.  The Company has not yet determined the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the Consolidated Financial Sta tements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09: Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842): Leases . The main objective of ASU 2016-02 is to provide users with useful, transparent, and complete information about leasing transactions. ASU 2016-02 requires the rights and obligations associated with leasing arrangements be reflected on the balance sheet in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations.  Under the updated guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-to-use asset and a liability to make a lease payment and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01: Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10):  Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities .  The main objective of ASU 2016-01 is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information.  ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments.  Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01  include the following: 1) Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) Simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) Require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; and 4) Require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others.  The amendments of ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2016-01 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations:

On June 1, 2016, the Bank completed the acquisition of the Bowers Insurance Agency, Inc., and merged all activity of Bowers with Insurance, the Bank’s wholly-owned insurance agency subsidiary.  The Bowers group is engage in selling insurance including commercial, farm, home, and auto property/casualty insurance and will help to meet the needs of all the Company’s customers.  The transaction involved both cash and 123,280 shares of stock totaling $3.2 million, including up to $1.2 million of future payments, contingent upon Bowers meeting performance targets, with an estimated fair value at the acquisition date of $880 thousand. The acquisition is part of the Company’s plan to increase the levels of noninterest income and to complement the existing insurance services currently being offered.

Goodwill of $1.8 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet, arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the companies.  The goodwill was determined not to be deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of other intangible assets of $1.6 million is related to client relationships, company name and noncompetition agreements.

Goodwill of $2.8 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet, arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the companies.  The goodwill was determined not to be deductible for income tax purposes.  The fair value of other intangible assets of $1.2 million is related to core deposits.

The fair value of net assets acquired includes fair value adjustments to certain receivables that were not considered impaired as of the acquisition date.  The fair value adjustments were determined using discounted contractual cash flows.  However, the Company believes that all contractual cash flows related to the financial instruments acquired from Tri-State will be collected.  As such, these receivables were not considered impaired at the acquisition date and were not subject to the guidance relating to purchased credit impaired loans.  Purchase credit impaired loans would have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.

The following table presents pro forma information as if the above three acquisitions that occurred during 2015 and 2016 actually took place at the beginning of 2015.  The pro forma information includes adjustments for merger related costs, amortization of intangibles arising from the transaction and the related income tax effects. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the transactions been effective on the assumed date.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

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.  Investment securities are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities .  Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and whether the Company 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.  In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, or U.S. government sponsored enterprises, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.  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, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, 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.  The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.  For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis.  For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 467 securities, 43 of which were in an unrealized loss position.  The majority of the unrealized losses on the Company’s securities are related to its holdings of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, state and political subdivision securities, and Small Business Administration securities as discussed below.

12


Unrealized losses on debt securities issued by state and political subdivisions have not been recognized into income.  These securities have maintained their investment grade ra tings and management does not have the intent and does not expect to be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery.  The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date.

All of the Company’s holdings of collateralized mortgage obligations and residential mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities.  Unrealized losses on these securities have not been recognized into income.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, the issues are guaranteed by the issuing entity which the U.S. government has affirmed its commitment to support, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these residential mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be OTTI.

Management does not believe any unrealized losses on Small Business Administration securities represent an other-than-temporary impairment.  The securities are issued and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and the Company does not have the intent and does not anticipate that it will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery.  The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as they approach their maturity.

The key assumptions considered include probability of default and the amount of actual prepayments after the acquisition date. Prepayments affect the estimated life of the loans and could change the amount of interest income and principal expected to be collected.  In reforecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary.  There were no adjustments to forecasted cash flows that impacted the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

Total troubled debt restructurings were $7.6 million and $9.3 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  The Company has allocated $143 thousand and $528 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers with loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2016 and at December 31, 2015.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings.  The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; a deferral of principal payments; or a legal concession.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2016 only legal concessions were made to certain loans.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, the terms of such loans included a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan by 1.2% and an extension of the maturity date by 120 months.  During the same nine month period in 2015, loans modified as trouble debt restructurings had an extension of the maturity dates by 9 months.

There were $25 thousand and $353 thousand in charge offs during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  There was a $25 thousand and a $36 thousand increase to the provision during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2016, as a result of troubled debt restructurings.  There were $110 thousand in charge offs and a $85 thousand increase to the provision for loan losses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, as a result of troubled debt restructurings.

There were two commercial loans, one residential real estate loan and one home equity line of credit for which there was a payment default for both within twelve months following the modification of the troubled debt restructuring during the three month period and nine month period ended September 30, 2016.  The one home equity line of credit was past due at September 30, 2016.  There was no provision recorded as a result of the defaults during 2016.  A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

There was one commercial real estate loan modified as a troubled debt restructuring for which there was a payment default within the first twelve months following the modification during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2015.  This loan was past due at September 30, 2015.  There was no provision recorded as a result of the default during 2015.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Company establishes a risk rating at origination for all commercial loan and commercial real estate relationships.  For relationships over $750 thousand, management monitors the loans on an ongoing basis for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service their debt.  Management also affirms the risk ratings for the loans and leases in their respective portfolios on an annual basis.  The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.  Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Interest-Rate Swaps:

The Company uses a program that utilizes interest-rate swaps as part of its asset/liability management strategy.  The interest-rate swaps are used to help manage the Company’s interest rate risk position and not as derivatives for trading purposes.  The notional amount of the interest-rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties.  The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest-rate swap agreements.

The objective of the interest-rate swaps is to protect the related fixed rate commercial real estate loans from changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates.  The Company has a program whereby it lends to its borrowers at a fixed rate with the loan agreement containing a two-way yield maintenance provision, which will be invoked in the event of prepayment of the loan, and is expected to exactly offset the fair value of unwinding the swap.  The yield maintenance provision represents an embedded derivative which is bifurcated from the host loan contract and, as such, the swaps and embedded derivatives are not designated as hedges.  Accordingly, both instruments are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are reported in current period earnings.

Summary information about these interest-rate swaps at periods ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as follows:

Stock Based Compensation:

During 2012, the Company, with the approval of shareholders, created the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan permits the award of up to 500 thousand shares to the Company’s directors and employees to promote the Company’s long-term financial success by motivating performance through long-term incentive compensation and to better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders.  There were 62,242 additional shares granted under the Plan during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 as detailed in the table below.  Expense recognized for the Plan was $201 thousand and $602 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  As of September 30, 2016, there was $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the nonvested shares granted under the Plan.  The remaining cost is expected to be recognized over 2.25 years. There was $159 thousand and $275 thousand of expense recognized for the Plan for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.

Granted shares are earned upon meeting certain target performance metrics that are measured using extensive performance review scorecards.  The main metrics used include earnings per share, return on average assets and the efficiency ratio. The shares have forfeitable dividend rights; as such the shares do not meet the definition of participating shares.

The following is the activity under the Plan during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

Regulatory Capital Matters

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The new minimum capital requirements associated with the Basel Committee on capital and liquidity regulation (Basel III) are being phased in and began on

January 1, 2015 and will continue through January 1, 2019.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.  Management believes as of September 30, 2016, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The FDIC and other federal banking regulators revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to financial holding companies and insured depository institutions, including the Company and the Bank, to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (“Basel III”).

The common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital ratios are calculated by dividing the respective capital amounts by risk-weighted assets.  The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing tier 1 capital by adjusted average total assets.

Basel III limits capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements.  The capital conservation buffer phase in began January 1, 2016 and will increase each year until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019.  Currently Basel III requires the

27


Company and the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, (ii) a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0% and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of at least 4.0%.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition.  If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.  At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Fair Value:

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

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

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

28


Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumpti ons about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities: The Company uses a third party service to estimate fair value on available for sale securities on a monthly basis.  This service provider is considered a leading evaluation pricing service for U.S. domestic fixed income securities.  They subscribe to multiple third-party pricing vendors, and supplement that information with matrix pricing methods.  The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available (Level 1).  For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are not active or inputs other than quoted prices, which provide a reasonable basis for fair value determination.  Such inputs may include interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates.  Inputs used are derived principally from observable market data (Level 2).  For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).  The fair values of Level 3 investment securities are determined by using unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based on the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.  For the period ended September 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015, the fair value of Level 3 investment securities was immaterial.

Derivative Instruments: The fair values of derivative instruments are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired Loans: At the time loans are considered impaired, collateral dependent impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value and non-collateral dependent loans are valued based on discounted cash flows.  Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses.  For collateral dependent loans fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals.  These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification.  Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair values are commonly based on recent real estate appraisals.  These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial and commercial real estate properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company.  Once received, a member of the Appraisal Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.  On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what adjustments should be made to appraisals to arrive at fair value.

Impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $95 thousand with a valuation allowance of $14 thousand at September 30, 2016, resulting in $139 thousand in additional provision for loan losses for the three and nine month periods.  At December 31, 2015, impaired loans had a principal balance of $3.4 million, with a valuation allowance of $383 thousand.  Loans measured at fair value at September 30, 2015 resulted in an additional provision for loan losses of $567 thousand and $777 thousand for the three and nine month periods, respectively.  Excluded from the fair value of impaired loans, at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, discussed above are $2.7 million and $2.9 million of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings and measured using the present value of cash flows, which is not considered an exit price.

Impaired commercial real estate loans, both owner-occupied and non-owner occupied are valued by independent external appraisals.  These external appraisals are prepared using the sales comparison approach and income approach valuation techniques.  Management makes subsequent unobservable adjustments to the impaired loan appraisals.  Impaired loans other than commercial real estate and other real estate owned are not considered material.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value, not previously described, are described as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2.  The Company has determined that cash on hand and non-interest bearing due from bank accounts are Level 1 whereas interest bearing federal funds sold and other are Level 2.

Restricted Stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of restricted stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Loans: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification.  Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously.  The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification.  The classification is the result of the association with securities, loans and deposits.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits – interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and money market accounts – are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification.  The carrying amounts of variable rate certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification.  Fair value for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Long-term Borrowings: The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Off-balance Sheet Instruments: The fair value of commitments is not considered material.

Segment Information:

The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished between banking, trust and retirement consulting operations.  They are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision makers in the Company, who use such information to review performance of various components of the business, which are then aggregated.  Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation.  All operations are domestic. Significant segment totals are reconciled to the financial statements as follows:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

Goodwill associated with the Bank’s purchase of the Bowers group in June 2016 and the Company’s purchase of NBOH in June 2015, Tri-State in October 2015, NAI in July of 2013 and Trust in 2009 totaled $36.9 million at September 30, 2016 and $35.1 million at December 31, 2015.  The Bowers group, NBOH and Tri-State acquisitions are more fully described in the Business Acquisitions footnote.  Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, which is determined through a two-step impairment test. Management performs goodwill impairment testing on an annual basis as of September 30.  No goodwill impairment has been identified as of September 30, 2016.  The fair value of the reporting unit is determined based on a discounted cash flow model.

Item 2.

Manageme nt’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

Discussions in this report that are not statements of historical fact (including statements that include terms such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and “plan”) are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and actual future results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), including without limitation, the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict, and readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on those forward-looking statements.  The following list, which is not intended to be an all-encompassing list of risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, summarizes several factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expected in these forward-looking statements:

general economic conditions in market areas where we conduct business, which could materially impact credit quality trends;

business conditions in the banking industry;

the regulatory environment;

fluctuations in interest rates;

demand for loans in the market areas where we conduct business;

rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards;

competitive factors, including increased competition with regional and national financial institutions;

new service and product offerings by competitors and price pressures; and other like items.

Other factors not currently anticipated may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.  There can be no assurance that future results will meet expectations.  While the Company believes that the forward-looking statements in this report are reasonable, the reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.  In addition, these statements speak only as of the date made.  The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to update or alter any statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

Overview

The Captive, which was formed during the third quarter of 2016, is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company that provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and its affiliates.  The Captive provides insurance to thirteen other third party insurance captives for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today’s insurance marketplace.  The entity was created to spread a limited amount of risk among all members of the captive pool.

On June 1, 2016, the Bank completed the acquisition of the Bowers group, and merged the Bowers group with Insurance, the Bank’s wholly-owned insurance agency subsidiary. Bowers will continue to operate out of its Cortland, Ohio location and will enhance the Company’s current product line up, and offer broader options of commercial, farm, home, and auto property/casualty insurance carriers to meet all the needs of all the Company’s customers.  The transaction involved both cash and 123,280 shares of stock totaling $3.2 million, including up to $1.2 million of future payments, contingent upon Bowers meeting performance targets.  Goodwill of $1.8 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet, arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the companies.  The goodwill was determined not to be deductible for income tax purposes.  The fair value of other intangible assets of $1.6 million is related to client relationships, company name and noncompetition agreements.

On June 19, 2015, Farmers completed the merger of NBOH, the holding company for the First National Bank of Orrville.  Immediately following the merger, First National Bank was merged into the Bank.  This transaction resulted in the addition of $540 million in assets and 14 branch locations in Wayne, Medina and Stark counties in Ohio.  On October 1, 2015, Farmers completed the acquisition of Tri-State and the merger of Tri-State’s wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Community Bank, which operates 5 banking locations in Columbiana County in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania into the Bank.  At closing, Tri-State had $136 million in assets.  They also had $54.3 million of demand deposits with an overall cost of deposits of 0.19%.  Both acquisitions provide the Company the opportunity to expand into new markets and develop efficiencies of scale to drive future profits.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $5.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, which compares to $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2015.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, net income for the two periods was $5.4 million or $0.20 per diluted share and $3.7 million or $0.14 per diluted share, respectively.  The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides both management and investors a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $15.2 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to $4.9 million or $0.23 per diluted share for same nine month period in 2015. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.06% and 9.74%, respectively, for the nine month period ending September 30, 2016, compared to 0.48% and 4.31% for the same period in 2015.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, net income for the two nine month periods was $15.6 million, or $0.58 per share and $8.6 million or $0.40 per share, respectively, and the annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.09% and 10.0% in 2016, compared to 0.83% and 7.41% in 2015, respectively.

Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.10% and 9.97%, respectively, for the three month period ending September 30, 2016, compared to 0.43% and 3.97% for the same period in 2015.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, the annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 were 1.10% and 10.02% compared to 0.87% and 7.97% for the same quarter in 2015.

Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.06% and 9.74%, respectively, for the nine month period ending September 30, 2016, compared to 0.48% and 4.31% for the same nine month period in 2015.

Net income excluding merger related costs is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  With respect to the calculati on of the actual unaudited net income excluding costs related to acquisition activities for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, reconciliations are displayed in the below table.

Total loans were $1.40 billion at September 30, 2016, compared to $1.30 billion at December 31, 2015, representing an annualized growth of 10.2%.  The increase in loans is a direct result of Farmers’ focus on loan growth utilizing a talented lending and credit team, while adhering to a sound underwriting discipline. Most of the increase in loans has occurred in the commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios.  Loans now comprise 76.5% of the Bank's third quarter average earning assets at September 30, 2016, an improvement compared to 73.8% at the same time in 2015.  This improvement along with the growth in earning assets organically and through merger activity has resulted in a 20% increase in tax equated loan income from the third quarter of 2015 to the same quarter in 2016.

Non-performing assets to total assets remain at a safe level, currently at 0.43%.  Early stage delinquencies also continue to remain at low levels, at $11.0 million, or 0.79% of total loans, at September 30, 2016.  Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $312 thousand, up $101 thousand compared to $211 thousand in the same quarter in 2015.  It is important to note that annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans outstanding decreased from 0.10% for the 3 months ended September 30, 2015 to 0.09% for the same period in 2016.  Lending to the energy sector is insignificant and less than 1% of the loan portfolio.

The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 3.97%, a 13 basis points increase from the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  In comparing the third quarter of 2016 to the same period in 2015, asset yields increased 13 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 2 basis points.  Another key contributor to the increase in net interest margin was the shift in the mix of earning assets from securities to loans. The increased margin is also partially due to the additional accretion as a result of the discounted loan portfolios acquired in the NBOH and Tri-State mergers. Excluding the amortization of premium on time deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”) advances along with the accretion of the acquired loan discount, the net interest margin would have been 8 basis points lower or 3.89% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 .

38


The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 201 6 was 4 . 0 4 %, a 3 2 basis points increase from the nine month period ended September 30, 201 5 . Excluding the amortization of premium on time deposits and FHLB advances along with the accretion of the loan portfolio discount, the net interest margin would have been 9 basis points lower or 3. 95 % for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

Noninterest income increased 38.4% to $6.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $4.7 million in 2015.  Deposit account income increased $128 thousand, or 14%, in the current year’s quarter compared to the same quarter in 2015 which was mainly due to the increased number of deposit accounts added from the two acquisitions in 2015. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased $648 thousand, or 156%, in comparing the same two quarters.  Insurance agency commissions increased $439 thousand and debit card interchange fees also increased $147 thousand or 29% in comparing the third quarter of 2015 to the same quarter in 2016.

The Company has remained committed to managing the level of noninterest expenses.  Total noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were $15.2 million compared to $15.5 million in the same quarter in 2015.  Excluding merger related costs, total noninterest expenses for the three month period ended September 30 2015 would have been $13.0 million compared to $15.2 million for the third quarter in 2016.  The primary reasons for the increase was the increased salaries and employee benefits related to the acquisition of the Bowers group on June 1, 2016 and increased incentive compensation resulting from improved corporate profitability.  Annualized noninterest expenses measured as a percentage of quarterly average assets increased slightly from 3.06% in the third quarter of 2015 to 3.12% in the third quarter of 2016.  These same ratios excluding merger related expenses increased from 3.04% in the third quarter of 2015 to 3.11% in the third quarter of 2016.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30 2016 improved to 60.9% compared to 76.6% for the same quarter in 2015.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, the efficiency ratios for the same periods were 60.7% and 66.5%, respectively.  The main factors leading to the improvement in the efficiency ratio was the increase in net interest income and noninterest income, along with the stabilized level of noninterest expenses relative to average assets.

The ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expenses by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.  The Company strives for a lower efficiency ratio.  This efficiency ratio measure is not required by any regulatory agency but provides meaningful information to management and investors since a lower ratio indicates the Company is using their assets more effectively to generate profits.

39


(2)

The tangible common equity ratio is calculated by dividing total common stockholders’ equity by total assets, after reducing both amounts by intangible assets.  The tangible common equity ratio is not required by U.S. GAAP or by applicable bank regula tory requirements, but is a metric used by management to evaluate the adequacy of the Company’s capital levels.  Since there is no authoritative requirement to calculate the tangible common equity ratio, the Company’s tangible common equity ratio is not ne cessarily comparable to similar capital measures disclosed or used by other companies in the financial services industry.  Tangible common equity and tangible assets are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a sub stitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  With respect to the calculation of the actual unaudited tangible common equity ratio as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, reconciliations of tangible common equity to U. S. GAAP total common stockholders’ equity and tangible assets to U.S. GAAP total assets are set forth below:

(6)

For 2016, adjustments of $488 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively, are made to tax equate income on tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities.  For 2015, adjustments of $426 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively, are made to tax equate income on tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities.  These adjustments are based on a marginal federal income tax rate of 35%, less disallowances.

Net Interest Income. Tax equivalent net interest income was $17.8 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2015.  The net interest margin to average earning assets on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased 13 basis points to 3.97% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 3.84% for the same three month period in the prior year.  In

42


comparing the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, yields on earning assets increased 13 basis points, while the cost of interest bear ing liabilities decreased 2 basis points. The increased margin is partially due to the additional accretion of the discount on the 2015 acquired loan portfolios, the higher mix of loans to assets on the balance sheet and maturing time deposits with higher interest rates being moved to products with lower interest rates or leaving the B ank. Excluding the amortization of premium on time deposits and FHLB advances along with the accretion of the loan portfolio discount, the net interest margin would have bee n 8 basis points lower or 3.8 9 % for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Tax equivalent net interest income was $52.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $34.8 million for the same period in 2015.  The annualized net interest margin to average earning assets on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased 32 basis points to 4.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 3.72% for the same nine month period in the prior year.  The increase is primarily a result of factors similar to the three month results previously stated in the above paragraph.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased 38.4% to $6.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $4.7 million in 2015.  Insurance agency commissions increased $439 thousand for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three month period in 2015.  Most of this increase is related to the acquisition, in June of 2016, of the Bowers group insurance agency.  Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased $648 thousand or 156% and deposit account income increased $128 thousand or 13.8% in comparing the same two quarters.  The increased fees related to deposit accounts are mainly the result of additional volume provided by the Tri-State merger that occurred on October 1, 2015.  In addition, debit card interchange fees also supplied a boost in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same time period in 2015, increasing 29% or $147 thousand.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $17.2 million, compared to $13.1 million during the same period in 2015. The increase was the result of many of the same factors affecting the quarterly numbers.  Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased from $694 thousand for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 to $2.0 million for the current year nine month period ended September 30, 2016.  Most of the gains on sale increase can be attributed to the acquisition of NBOH and their established secondary mortgage team that was able to provide the added noninterest income compared to the same prior year period.  Debit card fee income increased $740 thousand for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  Other operating income increased by $490 thousand or 55.8% compared to the same nine month period in 2015.  Most of the additional income came from the investment in a Small Business Investment Company fund (“SBIC”).  Conversely, retirement plan consulting fees decreased by $159 thousand or 9.3% compared to $1.7 million recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.  The decrease is mainly due to several infrequently occurring projects that occurred in the 2015 period.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense totaled $15.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2016, which was $296 thousand or 1.9% less than the $15.5 million during the same quarter in 2015.  Excluding merger related expense in the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, noninterest expenses would have increased $2.2 million in the current year quarter.  The increase is primarily the result of increased levels of expense due to the increased size of the Company after the late 2015 acquisition of Tri-State and the Bowers group on June 1, 2016.  Although the costs to operate the larger entity were spread over most expense categories, salaries and employee benefits increased 15.5%, or $1.1 million, during the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2015, as a result of the additional employees.  Annualized salaries and employee benefits as a percent of quarterly average assets increase slightly from 1.70% in the third quarter of 2015 to 1.72% in the third quarter of 2016. At September 30, 2015, before the acquisitions of Tri-State and Bowers, the Full Time Equivalents were at 408.  Post acquisitions at September 30, 2016 there were 434 Full Time Equivalents.  Management continues to monitor Full Time Equivalents as part of the ongoing effort to maintain efficient levels.

Noninterest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $44.5 million, compared to $37.4 million for the same period in 2015, representing an increase of $7.1 million, or 19%. The increase is the result of the $5.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits as mentioned above, an increase of $1.2 million in occupancy and equipment costs, $550 thousand in core processing charges and a $2.8 million increase in other operating expense.

The Company’s tax equivalent efficiency ratio for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 was 60.9% compared to 76.6% for the same period in 2015.  The positive change in the efficiency ratio was the result of cost efficiencies being realized with the increased size of the Company, supplemented by the improvements to net interest income and noninterest income.

The tax equivalent efficiency ratio for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was 62.0% compared to 76.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.  Excluding the merger costs the ratio was 60.7% and 66.5% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Management has continued to focus on increasing the levels of noninterest income and reducing the level of noninterest expenses.

Income Taxes .  Income tax expense totaled $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and $625 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  As discussed in previous paragraphs the increased volume of the larger company impacted net income therefore increasing the overall tax expense for the period.  The effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 30,

43


2016 was 26. 8 % compared to the effective tax rate of 25 . 2 % for the same perio d in 2015.  The increased effective tax rate in the three month period ended September 30, 201 6 was a result of changes to t he non-taxable municipal securities portfolio and the increased tax rate as a result of net income exceeding the $10 million thresho ld .

Income tax expense was $5.5 million for the first nine months of 2016 and $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2015.  The effective tax rate for the nine month period of 2016 was 26.5%, compared to 25.3% for the same period in 2015.

Other Comprehensive Income. For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the change in net unrealized gains or losses on securities, net of reclassifications, resulted in an unrealized loss, net of tax, of $1.5 million, compared to an unrealized gain of $2.3 million for the same period in 2015.  The decrease in fair value of securities for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to 2015 is the result of normal market interest rate fluctuations.

For the nine months of 2016, the change in net unrealized gains on securities, net of reclassifications, resulted in an unrealized gain, net of tax, of $3.9 million, compared to an unrealized gain of $242 thousand for the same period in 2015. The increase in fair value of securities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 is the result of the market’s reaction to projected long term interest rates.

Financial Condition

Cash and Cash Equivalents .  Cash and cash equivalents increased $11.4 million during the first nine months of 2016 from $56.0 million to $67.4 million.  The increase in the cash balance is part of the normal fluctuations on the Company’s $1.961 billion balance sheet. The Company expects these levels to remain relatively steady over the next few months.

Securities .  Securities available-for-sale decreased by $25.6 million since December 31, 2015.  The Company used proceeds from repayments and maturities of the securities portfolio to help fund the loan portfolio growth during the first nine months of 2016.

Loans .  Gross loans increased $98.8 million since December 31, 2015.  Most of the increase in loans has occurred in the commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, residential real estate loan portfolios and consumer loan portfolios.  The Bank utilized a talented lending and credit team while adhering to sound underwriting discipline to increase the loan portfolio.  The increase in loan balances was enough to overcome the continued low interest rate environment and help the current quarter’s tax equated loan income to improve by $2.7 million compared to the same quarter in 2015.

The average tax equivalent interest rate on the loan portfolio was 4.78% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to 4.73% for the same period in 2015.  On a fully tax equivalent basis, loans contributed $47.4 million of total interest income during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to $30.1 million for the same period in 2015.

Allowance for Loan Losses .  The following table indicates key asset quality ratios that management evaluates on an ongoing basis. The unpaid principal balance of non-performing loans and non-performing assets was used in the calculation of amounts and ratios on the table below for quarters prior to the current quarter ended September 30, 2016.  For the current quarter, recorded investment amounts were used in the calculations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, management recorded a $ 1.1 million provision for loan losses, compared to providing $ 1.2 million over the same three month period in the prior year. The larger provision for the prior year quarter was mainly a result of higher than normal charge-offs due to one owner-occupied commercial real estate loan relationship. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 the provision recorded was $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The la rger provision recorded for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was primarily a result of a larger loan portfolio. Loan growth over the first nine months of 2016 was 10.2% on an annualized basis .  T he allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio was 0.75% at September 30, 2016 compared to 0.70% at September 30, 2015. The loan portfolios acquired at fair market value during the NBOH a nd Tri-State mergers were recorded without an associated allowance for loan losses during 2015.  When the acquired loans are excluded the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non-acquired loans is 1.0 5 % at September 30, 2016 compare d to 1.08% at Sep tember 30, 2015.  Even though early stage delinquencies as a percentage of total loans increased from 0.59% at September 30, 2015 to 0.79% at September 30, 2016, n on-performing loans as a percentage of total loans decreased from . 81 % at September 30, 2015 to . 57 % at September 30, 2016.  Even with the reduction in the percentage of non-performing loans to total loans as compared to September 30, 2015 the percentage of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased from 86. 2 2 % at September 30 , 2015 to 1 3 1. 43 % at September 30, 2016.

Based on the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016 is adequate and reflects probable incurred losses in the portfolio.  The provision for loan losses is based on management’s judgment after taking into consideration all factors connected with the collectability of the existing loan portfolio.  Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, industry standards and other relevant factors.  Specific factors considered by management in determining the amounts charged to operating expenses include previous credit loss experience, the status of past due interest and principal payments, the quality of financial information supplied by loan customers and the general condition of the industries in the community to which loans have been made.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $83.1 million from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016, for a balance of $1.5 billion.  The increase in deposits is the result of the Company’s efforts to increase deposits without causing a significant negative impact to the net interest margin during the first nine months of 2016.  Non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest bearing deposits both had large increases between December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased by $37.8 million or 12.0% during the nine month period and interest bearing deposits increased $35.7 million or 11.1%.  Money market index accounts also increased, at December 31, 2015 the balance was $288.1 million and at September 30, 2016 it increased to $308.3 million, an increase of 7.0%.  The Company’s strategy is to grow deposit balances, to help supply the needs of the growing loan portfolio, while pricing deposit rates to remain competitive within the market.  At September 30, 2016, core deposits, which include, savings and money market accounts, time deposits less than $250 thousand, demand deposits and interest bearing demand deposits represented approximately 97.2% of total deposits.

Borrowings. Total borrowing balances decreased 4.9% from $247.9 million at December 31, 2015 to $235.8 million at September 30, 2016.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 the Company repaid $30.0 million in short-term FHLB advances while adding $20.7 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements.  The decrease in borrowings is a direct result of the growth in deposits over that same period.

Capital Resources. Total stockholders’ equity increased $17.4 million, or 8.8%, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.  The increase is due to the net income addition to retained earnings less the amount of dividends paid.  Also contributing to the overall equity increase was the $1.2 million of stock issued as part of the purchase price of the Bowers group. The increase of $3.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is the result of a change in the mark to market adjustment to the securities available for sale portfolio, helped increase equity as well.  Shareholders received $0.04 per share in cash dividends in each of the first three quarters of 2016, which is a 33% increase over the $0.03 paid during each quarter in 2015.  Book value per share increased from $7.35 per share at December 31, 2015 to $7.96 per share at September 30, 2016.  The Company’s tangible book value per share also increased, from $5.76 per share at December 31, 2015 to $6.29 per share at September 30, 2016.  The increases in book value and tangible book value per share were also the result of the mark to market adjustments to the securities available for sale portfolio and the increase to retained earnings from profit retention.

The capital management function is a regular process that consists of providing capital for both the current financial position and the anticipated future growth of the Company.  New minimum capital requirements associated with the Basel Committee on capital and liquidity regulation (Basel III) are being phased in beginning on January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2019.  At September 30, 2016 the Company is required to maintain 4.5% common equity tier 1 to risk weighted assets.  As of September 30, 2016 the Company’s common equity tier 1 to risk weighted assets was 11.67%, total risk-based capital ratio stood at 12.51%, and the Tier I risk-based capital ratio and Tier I leverage ratio were at 11.81% and 9.35%, respectively.  Management believes that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject, as of September 30, 2016.

Critical Accounting Pol icies

The Company follows financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These policies are presented in Note 1 of the consolidated audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  Critical accounting policies are those policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  The Company has identified two accounting policies that are critical accounting policies and an understanding of these policies is necessary to understand the Company’s financial statements.  These policies relate to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and other-than-temporary impairment of securities.  Additional information regarding these policies is included in the notes to the aforementioned 2015 consolidated financial statements, Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), Note 3 (Securities), Note 4 (Loans), and the sections captioned “Investment Securities” and “Loan Portfolio.”

Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies.  U.S. GAAP establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the impairment assessment of goodwill.  Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired.  The Company’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to provide quality, cost-effective services in a competitive marketplace.  The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted.  A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base or the inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods.  U.S. GAAP requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.  The fair value of the goodwill is estimated by reviewing the past and projected operating results for the subsidiaries and comparable industry information.

Liquidity

The Company maintains, in the opinion of management, liquidity sufficient to satisfy depositors’ requirements and meet the credit needs of customers.  The Company depends on its ability to maintain its market share of deposits as well as acquiring new funds.  The Company’s ability to attract deposits and borrow funds depends in large measure on its profitability, capitalization and overall financial condition.  The Company’s objective in liquidity management is to maintain the ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or to repay deposits and other liabilities in accordance with their terms without an adverse impact on current or future earnings.  Principal sources of liquidity for the Company include assets considered relatively liquid, such as federal funds sold, cash and due from banks, as well as cash flows from maturities and repayments of loans, and securities.

Along with its liquid assets, the Bank has additional sources of liquidity available which help to ensure that adequate funds are available as needed.  These other sources include, but are not limited to, loan repayments, the ability to obtain deposits through the adjustment of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds and borrowings on approved lines of credit at major domestic banks.  At September 30, 2016, these lines of credit totaled $25 million of which the Bank had not borrowed against.  In addition, the Company has two revolving lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling $6.5 million.  The outstanding balance at September 30, 2016 was $350 thousand.  Management feels that its liquidity position is adequate and continues to monitor the position on a monthly basis.  As of September 30, 2016, the Bank had outstanding balances with the FHLB of $137.1 million with additional borrowing capacity of approximately $141.7 million with the FHLB, as well as access to the Federal Reserve Discount Window, which provides an additional source of funds.  The Bank views its membership in the FHLB as a solid source of liquidity.

The primary investing activities of the Company are originating loans and purchasing securities. During the first nine months of 2016, net cash used by investing activities amounted to $69.9 million, compared to $16.1 million used in the same period in 2015.  Loan originations were robust and used $100.4 million during the first nine months of 2016 compared to the $91.7 million used during the same period in 2015. The cash used in investing activities during this period can be attributed to the strong lending activity in most all of the loan portfolios. Proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale were down to $11.5 million from $58.2 million during the first nine months of 2015.  Conversely, purchases of securities available for sale amounted to $26.8 million used during the first nine months of 2016 compared to $41.3 million used during the same period in 2015.  The acquisition of NBOH in the first nine months of 2015 provided $21.3 million in cash while the acquisition of the Bowers group in 2016 used $1.1 million.  The Company also used $6.0 million to purchase additional bank owned life insurance in 2015 and none in 2016.

The primary financing activities of the Company are obtaining deposits, repurchase agreements and other borrowings.  Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $67.4 million for the period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $15.7 million provided in financing activities for the same period in 2015. There were large swings in two line items during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period last year. Deposits provided $83.1 million compared to $9.1 million used during the nine month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Changes in short term borrowings used $9.3 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to providing $38.8 million during the nine month period ended September 30,

46


2015.  There was also $ 12.1 million used from long-term borrowing repayment s in the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 compared to $3.0 million used in the same period this year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, to meet the financial needs of our customers, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.  These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  Because some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The same credit policies are used in making commitments as are used for on-balance sheet instruments.  Collateral is required in instances where deemed necessary.  Undisbursed balances of loans closed include funds not disbursed but committed for construction projects.  Unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed, but committed for, home equity, commercial and consumer lines of credit.  Financial standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  Total unused commitments were $312.9 million at September 30, 2016 and $274.2 at December 31, 2015.  Additionally, the Company has committed up to a $5 million subscription in SBIC investment funds.  At September 30, 2016 the Company had invested $3.1 million in these funds.

Recent Market and Regulatory Developments

Various legislation affecting financial institutions and the financial industry will likely continue to be introduced in Congress, and such legislation may further change banking statutes and the operating environment of the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways, and could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance depending upon whether any of this potential legislation will be enacted, and if enacted, the effect that it or any implementing regulations, would have on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  With the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the nature and extent of future legislative and regulatory changes affecting financial institutions remains very unpredictable at this time.

Also, such statutes, regulations and policies are continually under review by Congress and state legislatures and federal and state regulatory agencies and are subject to change at any time, particularly in the current economic and regulatory environment.  Any such change in statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to the Company could have a material effect on the business of the Company.

Item  3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s ability to maximize net income is dependent, in part, on management’s ability to plan and control net interest income through management of the pricing and mix of assets and liabilities.  Because a large portion of assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature, changes in interest rates and monetary or fiscal policy affect its financial condition and can have significant impact on the net income of the Company.  Additionally, the Company’s balance sheet is slightly asset sensitive and in the low interest rate environment that exists today, the Company’s net interest margin should maintain relatively stable levels throughout the near future.

47


The Company considers the primary market exposure to be interest rate risk.  Simulation analysis is used to monitor the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates, and the effect of the change to net interest income.  The following table shows the effect on net interest income and the net present value of equity in the event of a sudden and sustained 300 ba sis point increase or 100 basis point dec rease in market interest rates:

It should be noted that the change in the net present value of equity exceeded policy when the simulation model assumed a sudden decrease in rates of 100 basis points (1%).  This is primarily due to the positive impact on the fair value of assets not being as great as the negative impact on the fair value of certain liabilities.  Specifically, because core deposits typically bear relatively low interest rates, their fair value would be negatively impacted as the rates could not be adjusted by the full extent of the sudden decrease in rates.  Management does not believe that a 100 basis rate decline is realistic in the current interest rate environment. The results of the other simulations indicate that in an environment where interest rates rise 100, 200 and 300 basis points over a 12 month period, using September 30, 2016 amounts as a base case, comply with internal limits established by the Company.  A report on interest rate risk is presented to the Board of Directors and the Asset/Liability Committee on a quarterly basis.  The Company has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes, nor does it hold derivative financial instruments, and does not plan to purchase these instruments in the near future.
