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 Bank’s subsidiaries; 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 2016 Annual Report to Shareholders included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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, the 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 consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income 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 stockholders 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:

During April of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities .  Under current U.S. GAAP, a premium is typically amortized to the maturity date when a callable debt security is purchased at a premium, even if the holder is certain the call will be exercised. As a result, upon the exercise of a call on a callable debt security held at a premium, the unamortized premium is recorded as a loss in earnings.  The new standard shortens the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date to more closely align interest

7


income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a discount with the economics of the underlying instrument.  The standard takes effect for public business entities for fis cal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.  The Company amortizes the premium to the expected call date currently and therefore does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact o n its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  Instead, under the new guidance, an entity is to perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.  An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value.  The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 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 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Entities will apply the standard's provisions as 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 begun to accumulate historical credit information and created a task force in preparation for the adoption of ASU 2016-13, but management has not determined the impact the new standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 was effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 which had no material impact on the 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 expects the adoption of this ASU could require capitalization of certain leases in the amount of $2.6 million on the balance sheet as an asset and a related liability of equal amount with no material income statement effect.  Therefore 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.  Management anticipates the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements to be limited.

In May 2014, FAS B issued ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU creates a new topic, Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into c ontracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the ent ity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contra cts with customers.  The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  Management anticipates the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements to be limited.  There will be no impact to core revenue which is mainly interest income less interest expense.  Manage ment is still assessing the impact from other non-interest income sources, specifically, deposit fees, trust income and retirement consulting income.

Business Combinations:

On March 13, 2017, the Company announced the agreement and plan of merger with Monitor Bancorp, Inc. (“Monitor”), the holding company for Monitor Bank.  Pursuant to the agreement, the actual consideration to be paid will be calculated based on Monitor’s consolidated tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2017, plus the after-tax proceeds of the anticipated sale of Monitor’s interest in the Monitor Wealth Group (in aggregate, “March 31 TBV”).  Each shareholder of Monitor will be entitled to elect to receive consideration in cash or in Farmers’ common shares, subject to an overall limitation of 85% of the shares being exchanged for Farmers’ shares and 15% for cash.  Based on a current estimate of March 31 TBV, the transaction would be valued at approximately $7.8 million with $1.4 million of goodwill recorded.  The merger is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for those Monitor shareholders electing to receive Farmers’ shares.  The transaction has received customary regulatory approval and is now subject to Monitor shareholder approval.  The Company expects the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2017.

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 first of three contingent payments of cash and stock were made, during July 2017, totaling $316 thousand, which reduce the earnout payable to $564 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.

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 June 30, 2017, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 535 securities, 103 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.

Unrealized losses on debt securities issued by state and political subdivisions have not been recognized into income.  These securities have maintained their investment grade ratings 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 OTTI.  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

12


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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

Total troubled debt restructurings were $5.8 million and $7.0 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  The Company has allocated $92 thousand and $101 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to borrowers with loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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; or a legal concession.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the terms of such loans included a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan in the range of 0.49% and 1.89% and extensions of the maturity dates on these and other troubled debt restructurings in the range of 6 to 132 months.  During the same six month period in 2016, the terms of such loans included a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan by 1.24% and an extension of the maturity date by 120 months.

There were $17 thousand and $30 thousand in charge offs and a $17 thousand and $30 thousand increase to the provision for loan losses during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2017, as a result of troubled debt restructurings.  There were $316 thousand and $327 thousand in charge offs during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively. There was no increase to the provision for loan losses during the three month period ended June 30, 2016 and an $11 thousand increase to the provision during the six month period ended June 30, 2016, as a result of troubled debt restructuring.

There were no loans for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification of the troubled debt restructuring during the three month and six month period ended June 30, 2017.  A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

There were two commercial loans, one residential real estate loan and one home equity line of credit for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification of the troubled debt restructuring during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2016.  The two commercial loans were past due at June 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.

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.

25


Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to b e pass rated loans.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

The Company considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses.  For residential, consumer indirect and direct loan classes, the Company also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity.  In the 1-4 family residential real estate portfolio at June 30, 2017, there were $236 thousand of other real estate owned properties and $748 thousand of properties in foreclosure.  Other real estate owned and foreclosure properties were $357 thousand and $371 thousand at December 31, 2016, respectively.

The following tables present the recorded investment in residential, consumer indirect and direct auto loans based on payment activity as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  Nonperforming loans are loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and nonaccrual loans.

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.

27


Summary information about these interest-rate swaps at periods ended June 3 0 , 201 7 and December 31, 201 6 is as follows:

There were no restricted stock awards that were considered anti-dilutive for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Stock Based Compensation:

During 2017, the Company, with the approval of shareholders, created the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”).  The 2017 Plan permits the award of up to 800 thousand shares to the Company’s directors and employees to attract and retain exceptional personnel, motivate performance and most importantly to help align the interests of Farmers’ executives with those of the Company’s shareholders.  There were 57,748 service time based shares and 64,993 performance based shares granted under the 2017 Plan during the six month period ended June 30, 2017, as shown in the table below.  The actual number of performance based stock awards issued will depend on certain performance conditions which are mainly average return on equity compared to a group of peer companies over a three year vesting period.

During 2012, the Company, with the approval of shareholders, created the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”).  The 2012 Plan permitted 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 no additional shares granted under the Plan during the six month period ended June 30, 2017 as detailed in the table below.  Any new restricted stock awards will be issued under the 2017 Plan described above.

The restricted stock awards were granted with a fair value price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant.  Expense recognized for both Plans was $397 thousand and $577 thousand for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively.  During the prior periods, the expense recognized was $200 thousand and $401 thousand for the three and six

28


month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively. As of June 3 0 , 2017, there was $ 3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the nonvested shares granted under the Plan s .  The remaining cost is expected to be recognized over 2 . 5 years.

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

29


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 phase d 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 th at, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements.  Management believes as of June 3 0 , 2017 , 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.  The additional capital conservation buffer is 1.25% for the year of 2017 and was 0.625% during 2016.  Excluding the additional buffer, Basel III requires the 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions 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 princ ipally 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 Lev el 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 t ime, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.  For the period ended June 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016, 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 $207 thousand with a valuation allowance of $21 thousand at June 30, 2017, resulting in $153 thousand in additional provision for loan losses for the three month period.  At December 31, 2016, impaired loans had a principal balance of $727 thousand, with a valuation allowance of $173 thousand.  Loans measured at fair value at June 30, 2016 resulted in no additional provision for loan losses for the six month period ending June 30, 2016.  Excluded from the fair value of impaired loans, at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, discussed above are $2.0 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.

Loan servicing rights: Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.  The valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income (Level 2).

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.

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 $37.2 million at June 30, 2017 and $37.2 million at December 31, 2016.  The Bowers group acquisition is 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. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined based on a discounted cash flow model.

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, 2016.

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

On March 13, 2017, Farmers entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Monitor Bancorp, Inc. (Monitor), the holding company for The Monitor Bank, located in Holmes County, Ohio.  This transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2017.  This transaction will serve as an entrance into the attractive Holmes County market for Farmers. Monitor has an excellent core deposit base and has been a solid earner with strong asset quality. This transaction will help Farmers continue to grow its market share, balance sheet and earnings.  As of December 31, 2016, Monitor had total assets of $43.3 million, which included net loans of $22.3 million and deposits of $37.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Monitor’s return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.74% and 5.44%, respectively.

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.  During July 2017 the first of three contingent earnout payments of cash and stock were made in the amount of $316 thousand.  Goodwill of $1.8 million, which is recorded on the balance sheet, arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings

40


resulting from the combining of the companies.  The goodwill was determined not to be deductible for income tax purposes.  The f air value of other intangible assets of $ 1.6 million is related to client relationships, company name and noncompetition agreements.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $5.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, which compares to $5.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, net income for the three month period would have been $5.8 million.  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 six months ended June 30, 2017 was $11.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared to $9.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the same six month period in 2016.  Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.14% and 10.52%, respectively, for the six month period ending June 30, 2017, compared to 1.05% and 9.61% for the same period in 2016.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, net income for the six month period would have been $11.6 million, or $0.43 per share.  Excluding these acquisition costs, the annualized return on average assets and return on average equity would have been 1.15% and 10.56% in 2017, compared to 1.08% and 9.92% in 2016, respectively.

For the three month period ending June 30, 2017, the annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.11% and 10.25%, respectively, compared to 1.06% and 9.69% for the same period in 2016.  Excluding expenses related to acquisition activities, the annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 would have been 1.13% and 10.39%, respectively, compared to 1.09% and 9.97% for the same quarter in 2016.

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 calculation of the actual unaudited net income excluding costs related to acquisition activities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, reconciliations are displayed in the below table.

Total loans were $1.51 billion at June 30, 2017 compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2016, representing an annualized growth rate of 10.9%.  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. The increase in loans has occurred across each of the major loan categories.  Loans now comprise 77.6% of the Bank's second quarter average earning assets at June 30, 2017, an improvement compared to 76.2% at the same time in 2016.  This improvement along with the growth in earning assets organically and through merger activity has resulted in an 11% increase in tax equated loan income from the second quarter of 2017 to the same quarter in 2016.

Non-performing assets to total assets remain at a low level, currently at 0.32%.  Early stage delinquencies also continue to remain at low levels, at $7.1 million, or 0.47% of total loans, at June 30, 2017.  Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $523 thousand, compared to $660 thousand in the same quarter in 2016 and net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans outstanding is only 0.14% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.  Lending to the energy sector is insignificant and less than 1% of the loan portfolio.

The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 4.05%, a 1 basis point decrease from the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  In comparing the second quarter of 2017 to the same period in 2016, asset yields increased 11 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 14 basis points.  The net interest margin is impacted by the additional accretion as a result of the discounted loan portfolios acquired in the NBOH and Tri-State mergers, which increased the net interest margin by 2 and 9 basis points for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 4.03%, a 4 basis point decrease from the six month period ended June 30, 2016.  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 3 basis points lower or 4.00% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

Noninterest income increased 5.5 % to $ 6 . 1 million for the quarter ended June 3 0 , 201 7 compared to $ 5.7 million for the same quarter in 201 6 . Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased $ 351 thousand, or 65 % in the current year’s quarter compared to the same quarter in 2016. Insurance agency commissions increased $ 379 thousand in comparing the same two quarters due mainly to the acquisition of the Bower s Group. Debit card and EFT fees increased $179 thousand or 27.3 % in comparing the second quarter of 2017 to the same quarter in 2016. Other operating income is down $286 thousand in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same quarter in 2016, mainly as a result of a $262 thousand gain on the sale of land that was recognized during the second quarter of 2016.

Farmers remains committed to managing its level of noninterest expenses.  Total noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 2017 increased to $15.8 million compared to $14.8 million in the same quarter in 2016, primarily as a result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.1 million, offset by a $156 thousand decrease in other operating expenses and a $120 thousand decrease in merger related costs.  It is important to note that annualized noninterest expenses measured as a percentage of quarterly average assets decreased from 3.13% in the second quarter of 2016 to 3.08% in the second quarter of 2017.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 improved to 60.8% compared to 62.6% for the same quarter in 2016. The main factors leading to this improvement were the increase in net interest income and noninterest income, the decrease in merger related costs, along with the stabilized level of noninterest expenses relative to average assets as explained in the preceding paragraphs.

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.

(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 regulatory 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 necessarily 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 substitute 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 June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 2017, adjustments of $325 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively, are made to tax equate income on tax exempt loans and tax exempt securities. For 2016, adjustments of $324 thousand and $945 thousand, 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 $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $17.5 million for the same period in 2016.  The net interest margin to average earning assets on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased 1 basis point to 4.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 4.06% for the same three month period in the prior year.  In comparing the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, yields on earning assets increased 11 basis points, while the cost of interest

45


bear ing liabilities increased 14 basis points. The decreased margi n is mainly due to the pressure on increasing deposit rates as the F ederal Reserve Bank continues to raise the fed eral funds interest rate. Excluding the amortization of premium on time deposits and F ederal H ome L oan B ank (“FHLB”) advances along with the accretion of the loan portfolio discount, the net interest margin would have been 2 basis points lower for the quarter ended June 3 0 , 201 7 .

Tax equivalent net interest income was $37.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $34.9 million for the same period in 2016.  The annualized net interest margin to average earning assets on a fully taxable equivalent basis decreased 4 basis points to 4.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 4.07% for the same six month period in the prior year.  Excluding the amortization of premium on time deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances along with the accretion of the loan portfolio discount, the net interest margin would have been 3 basis points lower for the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased 5.5% to $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5.7 million in 2016.  Insurance agency commissions increased $379 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three month period in 2016.  Most of this increase is related to the acquisition of the Bowers group insurance agency in June of 2016.  Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased $351 thousand or 65% and debit card and EFT fees increased $179 thousand, or 27.3%, in comparing the same two quarters.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $11.9 million, compared to $10.7 million during the same period in 2016.  The increase was the result of many of the same factors affecting the quarterly numbers.  Gains on sale of mortgage loans increased from $942 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 to $1.5 million for the current year six month period ended June 30, 2017.  Most of the gains on sale increase can be attributed to the established secondary mortgage team along with favorable mortgage interest rates.  Debit card fee income increased $206 thousand for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.  Insurance agency commissions increased $914 thousand or 211.6% compared to the same six month period in 2016, mainly the result of the Bowers group acquisition.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense totaled $15.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, which was $981 thousand or 6.6% more than the $14.8 million during the same quarter in 2016.  Excluding merger related expense and the nonrecurring litigation expense in the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, noninterest expenses would have increased $826 thousand in the current year quarter.  The increase is primarily the result of increased levels of expense due to the acquisition of the Bowers group on June 1, 2016.  Although the additional costs were spread over most expense categories, salaries and employee benefits increased 14.4%, or $1.1 million, during the current quarter compared to the same quarter in 2016.  Annualized salaries and employee benefits as a percent of quarterly average assets increase slightly from 1.64% in the second quarter of 2016 to 1.73% in the second quarter of 2017.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $30.4 million, compared to $29.2 million for the same period in 2016, representing an increase of $1.2 million, or 3.9%.  The majority of the increase was the result of a $1.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits as mentioned above, offset by a decrease of $579 thousand in other operating expenses.

The Company’s tax equivalent efficiency ratio for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was 60.79% compared to 62.60% for the same period in 2016.  The positive change in the efficiency ratio was the result of decreased merger related costs and the stabilization of non-interest expenses, supplemented by the improvements to net interest income and noninterest income.

The tax equivalent efficiency ratio for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 was 59.81% compared to 62.63% for the six month period ended June 30, 2016.  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 June 30, 2017 and $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  The effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was 26.0% compared to the effective tax rate of 26.7% for the same period in 2016.  Management continues to seek out additional tax exempt earning assets to help reduce the level of income tax liability.

Income tax expense was $4.0 million for the first six months of 2017 and $3.5 million for the first six months of 2016.  The effective tax rate for the six month period of 2017 was 25.7%, compared to 26.3% for the same period in 2016.

Other Comprehensive Income. For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the change in net unrealized gains or losses on securities, net of reclassifications, resulted in an unrealized gain, net of tax, of $3.9 million, compared to an unrealized gain of $3.2 million for the same

46


period in 201 6 .  The in crease in fair value of securities for the three month period ended June 3 0 , 201 7 was the main factor in the other comprehensive income increase .

For the six months of 2017, the change in net unrealized gains on securities, net of reclassifications, resulted in an unrealized gain, net of tax, of $4.1 million, compared to an unrealized gain of $5.4 million for the same period in 2016.  The increase in fair value of securities for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 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 $22.9 million during the first six months of 2017 from $41.8 million to $64.6 million.  The increase in the cash balance is part of the normal fluctuations on the Company’s $2.086 billion balance sheet.  There are $7.0 million in security purchases that will settle in early July 2017 that will reduce the cash balance.  After those settlements, the Company expects the levels to remain relatively steady over the next few months.

Securities .  Securities available-for-sale increased by $21.6 million since December 31, 2016.  The Company intends to maintain the securities portfolio’s current level, as a percentage of total assets, during the remaining months of 2017.

Loans .  Gross loans increased $77.6 million since December 31, 2016.  The increase in loans has occurred across each of the major loan categories.  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 along with a steady rate of return on the portfolio help the current quarter’s tax equated loan income to improve by $1.8 million compared to the same quarter in 2016.

The average tax equivalent interest rate on the loan portfolio was 4.74% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to 4.80% for the same period in 2016.  The increase in loan balances was enough to overcome the lower rate of return on the portfolio and helped the current six month period’s tax equated loan income improve by $3.0 million from $31.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to $34.2 million for the period ended June 30, 2017.

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 June 30, 2017.  Recorded investment amounts were used in the calculations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, management recorded a $950 thousand provision for loan losses, compared to providing $990 thousand over the same three month period in the prior year.  The smaller provision for the current quarter was mainly a result of reduced charge-offs compared prior year same quarter and an effort to maintain a consistent environmental segment of the allowance for loan losses.  For the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the provision recorded was $2.0 million and $1.8 million,

47


respectively.  The larger provision for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 was mainly a result of the growth in the portfolio. Loan growth over the first six months of 201 7 w as 10 . 9 % on an annualized basis.  T he allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the total loan portfolio was 0.7 8 % at June 3 0 , 201 7 compared to 0.7 2 % at June 3 0 , 201 6 . The loan portfolios acquired at fair market value during the NBOH and 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 0 % at June 3 0 , 201 7 compare d to 1.0 4 % at June 3 0 , 201 6 .  Early stage delinquencies as a percentage of total loans decreased from 0. 84 % at June 3 0 , 201 6 to 0. 4 7 % at June 3 0 , 201 7 and n on-performing loans as a percentage of total loans decreased from 0 . 62 % at June 3 0 , 201 6 to 0 . 4 2 % at June 3 0 , 201 7.  W ith the reduction in the percentage of non-performing loans to total loans as compared to June 3 0 , 201 6 the percentage of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased from 116.27 % at June 3 0 , 201 6 to 1 84.83 % at June 3 0 , 201 7 .

Based on the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2017 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 $16.2 million from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, 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 six months of 2017.  Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased and interest bearing deposits decreased between December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017.  Non-interest bearing deposits increased by $20.7 million or 5.6% during the six month period and were offset by decreases in interest bearing deposits.   Interest bearing accounts decreased $4.5 million or 0.4% during the first six months of 2017.  The main driver in the decrease was money market accounts which decreased from $312.7 million at December 31, 2016 to $282.8 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of 9.5%.  Customers moved short term liquid money to longer term certificate of deposit as rate offerings increased.  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 June 30, 2017, core deposits (which include savings and money market accounts), time deposits less than $250 thousand, demand deposits and interest bearing demand deposits represented approximately 97.1% of total deposits.

Borrowings. Total borrowing balances increased 40.0% from $213.5 million at December 31, 2016 to $298.8 million at June 30, 2017.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2017 the Company added $90 million in net short-term FHLB advances.  The increase in borrowings is to help fund loan portfolio growth and to maintain the security portfolio’s current balance as a percentage of total assets.

Capital Resources. Total stockholders’ equity increased $13.5 million, or 6.3%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2017.  The increase is due to the net income addition to retained earnings less the amount of dividends paid.  Shareholders received $0.05 per share in cash dividends in each of the first two quarters of 2017, which is a 25% increase over the $0.04 paid each quarter in 2016.  Book value per share increased from $7.88 per share at December 31, 2016 to $8.38 per share at June 30, 2017.  The Company’s tangible book value per share also increased, from $6.21 per share at December 31, 2016 to $6.73 per share at June 30, 2017.  The increases in book value and tangible book value per share were also the result of 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 from January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2019.  The Company must hold a capital conservation buffer of 1.25% above adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios during 2017.  At June 30, 2017 the Company is required to maintain 4.5% common equity tier 1 to risk weighted assets excluding the conservation buffer to be adequately capitalized.  The Company’s common equity tier 1 to risk weighted assets was 11.8%, total risk-based capital ratio stood at 12.67%, and the Tier I risk-based capital ratio and Tier I leverage ratio were at 11.93% and 9.47%, respectively, at June 30, 2017.  Management believes that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject, as of June 30, 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies

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, 2016.  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 three accounting policies that are critical accounting policies and

48


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 , if there is any impairment of goodwill or other intangible, and estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in co nnection with the merger activity. Additional information regarding these policies is included in the notes to the aforementioned 201 6 consolidated financial statements, Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), Note 2 ( Business Combination ), Note 4 (Loans), and the sections captioned “Loan Portfolio.”

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 June 30, 2017, 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 June 30, 2017 was $350 thousand.  Management feels that its liquidity position is adequate and continues to monitor the position on a monthly basis.  As of June 30, 2017, the Bank had outstanding balances with the FHLB of $217.5 million with additional borrowing capacity of approximately $63.8 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 six months of 2017, net cash used by investing activities amounted to $90.1 million, compared to $37.4 million used in the same period in 2016.  Loan originations were robust and used $78.8 million during the first six months of 2017 compared to the $62.9 million used during the same period in 2016. The cash used in investing activities during this period can be attributed to the strong lending activity in most of the loan types. Proceeds from the sale of securities available for sale were $54.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to $9.2 million during the first six months of 2016.  Conversely, purchases of securities available for sale amounted to $87.2 million used during the first six months of 2017 compared to $12.3 million used during the same period 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 $99.0 million for the period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $36.0 million provided in financing activities for the same period in 2016.  There were large swings in two line items during the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year: changes in short term borrowings provided $90.7 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to providing $2.3 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2016, and there was also $2.4 million used from long-term borrowing repayments in the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.4 million used in the same period this year.  Deposits provided $16.2 million compared to $38.4 million provided during the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

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

49


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 construc tion 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 u nused co mmitments were $31 3 . 7 million at June 3 0 , 201 7 and $ 321.9 at December 31, 201 6 .  Additionally, the Company has committed up to $ 8 million in subscription s in S mall B usiness I nvestment C ompany investment funds .  At June 3 0 , 2 01 7 the Company had invested $ 3.8 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, 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 rising interest rate environment that exists today, the Company’s net interest margin should maintain relatively stable levels throughout the near future.

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 basis point increase or 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates:

The results of the simulations indicate that all interest rate change results fall within internal limits established by the Company at June 30, 2017.  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.
