FRANKLIN FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Franklin Financial Services Corporation (the Corporation), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Farmers and Merchants Trust Company of Chambersburg (the Bank) and Franklin Future Fund Inc.  Farmers and Merchants Trust Company of Chambersburg is a commercial bank that has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Franklin Financial Properties Corp. Franklin Financial Propert ies Corp. holds real estate assets that are leased by the Bank. Franklin Future Fund Inc. is a non-bank investment company. The activities of non-bank entities are not significant to the consolidated totals.  All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of June 3 0 , 201 5 , and for all other periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 201 4 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The consolidated results of operations for the period ended June 3 0 , 201 5 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.  Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 201 4 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period end.  A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share follows:

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement . ASU 2015-05 “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, revises the scope of Subtopic 350-40 to include internal-use software accessed through a hosting arrangement (e.g., cloud computing, software as a service, etc.) only if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period without significant penalty (there is no significant penalty if the customer has the ability to take delivery of the software without incurring significant cost and the ability to use the software separately without significant loss of utility or value); and (2) it is feasible for the customer to either run the software on its own hardware or contract with another party unrelated to the vendor to host the software.  If both of the criteria are present in a hosting arrangement, then the arrangement contains a software license and the customer should account for that element in accordance with Subtopic 350-40 (i.e., expense fees as incurred).  The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  For all other entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is permitted.  An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either (1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date, or (2) retrospectively. The Corporation does not believe ASU 350-40 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Receivables (Topic 310): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. ASU 2014-04 “ Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure” clarifies that a creditor is considered to have physical possession of residential real estate that is collateral for a residential mortgage loan when it obtains legal title to the collateral or a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement is completed.  Consequently, it should reclassify the loan to other real estate owned at that time.  ASU 2014-04 applies to all creditors who obtain physical possession resulting from an in substance repossession or foreclosure of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan in satisfaction of a receivable.  The ASU does not apply to commercial real estate loans, as the foreclosure process and applicable laws for those assets are significantly different from residential real estate.  The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014.  ASU 2014-04 did not have a material effect on the Corporation’ s financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update (ASU 2014-09) establish a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Three basic transition methods are available – full retrospective, retrospective with certain practical expedients, and a cumulative effect approach. Under the third alternative, an entity would apply the new revenue standard only to contracts that are incomplete under legacy U.S. GAAP at the date of initial application (e.g. January 1, 2017) and recognize the cumulative effect of the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. That is, prior years would not be restated and additional disclosures would be required to enable users of the financial statements to understand the impact of adopting the new standard in the current year compared to prior years that are presented under legacy U.S. GAAP. Early adoption is prohibited under U.S. GAAP. The Corporation does not believe ASU 2014-09 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Note 4. Guarantees

The Corporation does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit.  Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Generally, all letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments.  The Bank had $ 2 6 . 0 million and $ 2 2 . 7 million of standby letters of credit as of June 3 0 , 201 5 and December 31, 201 4 , respectively. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.  The amount of the liability as of June 3 0 , 2015 and December 31, 201 4 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued was not material.

Impairment :

The investment portfolio contained 91 securities with $59.9 million of temporarily impaired fair value and $1.6 million in unrealized losses at June 30, 2015. The total unrealized loss position has increased slightly from $1.4 million at year-end 2014.

For securities with an unrealized loss, Management applies a systematic methodology in order to perform an assessment of the potential for other-than-temporary impairment.  In the case of debt securities, investments considered for other-than-temporary impairment: (1) had a specified maturity or repricing date; (2) were generally expected to be redeemed at par, and (3) were expected to achieve a recovery in market value within a reasonable period of time. In

9


addition, the Bank considers whether it intends to sell these securities or whether it will be forced to sell these securities before the earlier of amortized cost recovery or maturity. Equity securities are assessed for other-than-temporary impairment based on the length of time of impairment, dollar amount of the impairment and general market and financial conditions relating to specific issues.  The impairment identified on debt and equity securities and subject to assessment at June 30, 2015, was deemed to be temporary and required no further adjustments to the financial statements, unless otherwise noted.

The following table reflects temporary impairment in the investment portfolio (excluding restricted stock), aggregated by investment category, length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position and the number of securities in each category as of June 3 0 , 2015 and December 31, 201 4 :

The municipal bond portfolio has an unrealized loss of $604 thousand at June 30, 2015 compared to $292 thousand at year-end 2014.  This number of securities in this portfolio with an unrealized loss increased from 23 to 40 and the loss in this portfolio is deemed to be non-credit related and no other-than-temporary impairment charges have been recorded.

The trust preferred portfolio contains 7 securities with a fair value of $5.3 million and an unrealized loss of $621 thousand. The trust-preferred securities held by the Bank are single entity issues, not pooled trust preferred securities.  Therefore, the impairment review of these securities is based only on the issuer and the security cannot be impaired by the performance of other issuers as if it was a pooled trust-preferred bond. All of the Bank’s trust preferred securities are single issue, variable rate notes with long maturities (2027 – 2028).  None of these bonds have suspended or missed a dividend payment. At June 30, 2015, the Bank believes it will be able to collect all interest and principal due on these bonds and no other-than-temporary-impairment charges were recorded.

The PLMBS sector shows a net unrealized gain $58 thousand with all bonds showing an unrealized gain.  Even though there is no unrealized loss, due to the nature of these bonds, they are evaluated closely. These bonds were all rated AAA at time of purchase, but have since experienced rating declines. Some have experienced increased delinquencies and defaults, while others have seen the credit support increase as the bonds paid-down. The Bank monitors the performance of the PLMBS investments on a regular basis and reviews delinquencies, default rates, credit support levels and various cash flow stress test scenarios. In determining the credit related loss, Management considers all principal past due 60 days or more as a loss. If additional principal moves beyond 60 days past due, it will also be considered a loss. As a result of the analysis on PLMBS it was determined that a $20 thousand impairment charge was required at the end of the first

10


quarter; however, no additional impairment charge was required at June 30, 2015.   It is primarily a result of the cumulative OTTI charges that these bonds are showing an unrealized gain at quarter end.  The Bank has recorded $555 thousand of cumulative impairment charges on this portfolio. Management continues to monitor these securities and it is possible that additional write-downs may occur if current loss trends continue. The Bank is currently participating in a class-action lawsuit against one PLMBS servicer that centers on defective warranties and representations made as part of the underwriting process. The following table represents the cumulative credit losses on securities recognized in earnings as of June 30 , 2015 and 2014.

The Bank held $439 thousand of restricted stock at June 30, 2015.  Except for $30 thousand, this investment represents stock in FHLB Pittsburgh. The Bank is required to hold this stock to be a member of FHLB and it is carried at cost of $100 per share. FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment primarily based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost. As a government sponsored entity, FHLB has the ability to raise funding through the U.S. Treasury that can be used to support its operations.  There is not a public market for FHLB stock and the benefits of FHLB membership (e.g., liquidity and low cost funding) add value to the stock beyond purely financial measures. Management intends to remain a member of the FHLB and believes that it will be able to fully recover the cost basis of this investment.

The Bank expects its pension expense to in crease to approximately $ 387 thousand in 201 5 compared to $ 276 thousand in 201 4 .

In October, 2014, the Society of Actuaries released new mortality tables for pension plans. The new tables are expected to raise the assumed life of plan participants due to refinements in age and gender distribution of participants. This change is expected to result in higher pension contribution requirements, lower balance sheet funded status, pricier lump-sum payouts, and higher PBGC variable rate premiums. The Bank has not adopted the new mortality tables . If the tables had been adopted at year-end 2014, it is estimated that the new tables would reduce the funded status by $1.6 million and increase the 2015 pension expense by $272 thousand over the current 2015 estimate.  The Bank is still in the process of reviewing the effect of the new tables and is also watching the IRS for its decision on adoption of the new table. Therefore an adoption date for the new tables has not been determined.

Note 9.  Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique.  Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated.  The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective period -

19


ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates.  As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates maybe different than the amounts reported at each year-end.

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including those financial assets and liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. The Corporation does not report any nonfinancial assets at fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

Level 1 : Valuation is based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 : Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.  There may be substantial differences in the assumptions used for securities within the same level.  For example, prices for U.S. Agency securities have fewer assumptions and are closer to level 1 valuations than the private label mortgage backed securities that require more assumptions and are closer to level 3 valuations.

Level 3 : Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Corporation’s assumptions regarding what market participants would assume when pricing a financial instrument.

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments at June 3 0 , 2015 and December 31, 201 4 .

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities :  The fair value of investment securities is determined in accordance with the methods described under FASB ASC Topic 820 as discussed below.

Restricted stock: The carrying value of restricted stock approximates its fair value based on redemption provisions for the restricted stock.

Loans held for sale : The fair value of loans held for sale is determined by the price set between the Bank and the purchaser prior to origination. These loans are usually sold at par.

Net loans: The fair value of fixed-rate loans is estimated for each major type of loan (e.g. real estate, commercial, industrial and agricultural and consumer) by discounting the future cash flows associated with such loans using rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of comparable credit quality.  The model considers scheduled principal maturities, repricing characteristics, prepayment assumptions and interest cash flows.  The discount rates used are estimated based upon consideration of a number of factors including the treasury yield curve, expense and service charge factors. For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit quality, carrying values approximate the fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable: T he carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Mortgage servicing rights: The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on observable market prices when available or the present value of expected future cash flows when not available.  Assumptions such as loan default rates, costs to service, and prepayment speeds significantly affect the estimate of future cash flows. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Deposits, Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Long-term debt: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit and long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates approximating those currently offered for certificates of deposit and borrowings with similar remaining maturities. For securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the carrying value approximates a reasonable estimate of the fair value.

20


Accrued interest payable: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Derivatives: The fair value of the interest rate swaps is based on other similar financial instruments and is classified as Level 2.

The following information regarding the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

The fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments are as follows:

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair values for financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investment securities :  Level 1 securities represent equity securities that are valued using quoted market prices from nationally recognized markets. Level 2 securities represent debt securities that are valued using a mathematical model based upon the specific characteristics of a security in relationship to quoted prices for similar securities.

Interest rate swaps : The interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow model that uses verifiable market environment inputs to calculate the fair value. This method is not dependent on the input of any significant judgments or assumptions by Management.

The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair values for financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Impaired loans : Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.  Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.

Other real estate : The fair value of other real estate, upon initial recognition, is estimated using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy based on observable market data and Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria.  In connection with the measurement and initial recognition of the foregoing assets, the Corporation recognizes charge-offs through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent charge-offs are recognized as an expense.

Mortgage servicing rights : The fair value of mortgage servicing rights, upon initial recognition, is estimated using a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income.  The model incorporates Level 3 assumptions such as cost to service, discount rate, prepayment speeds, default rates and losses.

The Corporation did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a nonrecurring basis at June 3 0 , 201 5 . For financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period ending June 3 0 , 2015 .

Note 1 0 .  Financial Derivatives

The Board of Directors has given Management authorization to enter into additional derivative activity including interest rate swaps, caps and floors, forward-rate agreements, options and futures contracts in order to hedge interest rate risk.  The Bank is exposed to credit risk equal to the positive fair value of a derivative instrument, if any, as a positive fair value indicates that the counterparty to the agreement is financially liable to the Bank.  To limit this risk, counterparties must have an investment grade long-term debt rating and individual counterparty credit exposure is limited by Board approved parameters.  Management anticipates continuing to use derivatives, as permitted by its Board-approved policy, to manage interest rate risk.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows as of June 3 0 , 2015 and December 31, 201 4 :

Interest Rate Swap Agreements (“Swap Agreements”)

As of June 30, 2015, the Bank had no swap agreements outstanding. The Bank ha d entered into interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management program.  The swap agreements we re free-standing derivatives and we re recorded at fair value in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of condition.  The Bank wa s party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Bank d id not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes.  The master netting arrangements provide d for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract.  Collateral, in the form of marketable securities, wa s posted by the counterparty with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds.

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

As of June 30, 2015, the Bank had no repurchase agreements outstanding. The Bank enter ed into agreements under which it s old securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities.  Under these arrangements, the Bank may have transfe rred legal control over the assets but still retain ed effective control through an agreement that both entitle d and obligate d the Bank to repurchase the agreements.  As a result, these repurchase agreements we re accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities.  The obligation to repurchase the securities wa s reflected as a liability in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of condition, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain ed in the respective investment securities asset accounts.  In other words, there wa s no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities.  In addition, as the Bank d id not enter into reverse repurchase agreements, there wa s no such offsetting to be done with repurchase agreements.

The following table presents the liabilities subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or repurchase agreements as of June 3 0 , 2015 and December 31, 201 4 .  As of these dates, all of the Bank’s swap agreement with an institutional counterpart y w as in a liability position.  Therefore, there were no assets to be recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.  The Bank has no swap agreements with our commercial banking customers .

Note 11. Capital Ratios

Capital adequacy is currently defined by regulatory agencies through the use of several minimum required ratios.  In July 2013, Federal Banking regulators approved the final rules from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for the regulation of capital requirements for U.S. Banks, generally referred to as “Basel III.”  Base l III imposes significantly higher capital requirements and more restrictive leverage and liquidity ratios than those in place at the end of 2014.  The capital ratios to be considered “well capitalized” under Basel III are: common equity tier 1 of 6.5% , Tier 1 leverage of 5% , Tier 1 risk-based capital of 8% , and Total Risk-Based capital of 10% .  The common equity tier 1 ratio is a new capital ratio under Basel III .  Common equity consists of common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.  T he Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8% has been increased from 6% .  The new rule also includes a provision for banks to make a one-time irrevocable choice to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) from its common equity Tier 1 capital.  The Bank elected to exclude AOCI from the capital calculation with its March 31, 2015 regulatory filing.  In addition, a capital conservation buffer will be required to be maintained above the minimum capital ratios to avoid any capital distribution restrictions.  The capital conservation buffer will be phased in from 0% in 2015 to 2.5% in 2019.  The Basel III capital rules took effect for the Corporation and the Bank on January 1, 2015.  At June 3 0 , 2015, the Corporation and the Bank were both well capitalized as defined by the banking regulatory agencies.

26


The following table summarizes regulatory capital information as of June 3 0 , 2015 and December 31, 2014 on a consolidated basis and for the Bank, as defined.  Regulatory capital ratios for June 3 0 , 2015 were calculated in accordance with the Basel III rules, whereas the December 31, 2015 regulatory ratios were calculated in accordance with Basel I rules .  The minimum regulatory ratios shown below define capital levels under Basel III rules.

Results of Operations

Year-to-Date Summary

At June 3 0 , 201 5 , total assets were $1.0 2 9 billion, an increase of $ 2 7. 1 million from December 31, 201 4 . Net loans in creased to $7 2 3. 8 million and total deposits increased to $ 9 16.1 million.  The Corporation reported net income for the first six months of 201 5 of $ 5 . 4 million.  This is a 29 . 3 % increase versus net income of $ 4. 1 million for the same period in 201 4 . Net income for 2015 was enhanced by two nonrecurring events that increased noninterest income by $899 thousand. These events included a gain of $171 thousand from the liquidation of an off-shore insurance company in which the Bank held an ownership interest and a $728 thousand gain on the conversion of equity securities held by the Bank as the result of an acquisition. Without these events, net income for the first six months would have been $ 4 . 8 million, a 1 5% increase over the prior year. Total revenue (interest income and noninterest income) in creased $ 1. 3 million year-over-year boosted by these nonrecurring items . Interest income decreased $ 230 thousand , while interest expense decrease d by $ 387 thousand , resulting in a $ 157 thousand in crease in net interest income. The provision for loan losses was $ 635 thousand for the period, $ 171 thousand more than in 201 4. Noninterest income increased $1. 5 million, while n oninterest expense de creased $1 54 thousand. Income tax expense increas ed from $ 1.0 million in 201 4 to $ 1.5 million in 201 5 . The effective tax rate increased from 19 . 7 % in 201 4 to 2 1 . 6 % in 201 5 due to a lower ratio of tax exempt income to income before federal income taxes. Diluted earnings per share increased to $ 1 . 2 6 in 201 5 from $ 0. 99 in 201 4 .

GAAP versus Non-GAAP Disclosure The Corporation supplements its traditional GAAP measurements with Non-GAAP measurements. The Non-GAAP measurements include Return on Average Tangible Assets, Return on Average Tangible Equity, Tangible Book Value and Tangible Common Equity ratio. As a result of merger transactions, intangible assets (primarily goodwill, core deposit intangibles and customer list) were created. The Non-GAAP disclosures are intended to eliminate the effects of the intangible assets and allow for better comparisons to periods when such assets did not exist.  However, not all companies use the same calculation methods for the same non-GAAP measurements and therefore may not be comparable. The following table shows the adjustments made between the GAAP and NON-GAAP measurements:

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2015 to the three months ended June 30, 2014 :

Net Interest Income

The most important source of the Corporation’s earnings is net interest income, which is defined as the difference between income on interest-earning assets and the expense of interest-bearing liabilities supporting those assets.  Principal categories of interest-earning assets are loans and securities, while deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase (Repos), short-term borrowings and long-term debt are the principal categories of interest-bearing liabilities.  Demand deposits enhance net interest income because they are noninterest-bearing deposits. For the purpose of this discussion, balance sheet items refer to the average balance for the year and net interest income is adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis.  This tax-equivalent adjustment facilitates performance comparisons between taxable and tax-free assets by increasing the tax-free income by an amount equivalent to the Federal income taxes that would have been paid if this income were taxable at the Corporation’s 34% Federal statutory rate.

Tax equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 201 5 in creased $ 32 thousand quarter over quarter.  Average interest-earning assets in creased $ 5.8 million from 201 4 , but the yield on these assets decreased to 3.80% from 3.90% in 2014 .  The average balance of investment securities increased $ 5.4 million while average loans de creased $ 2.8 million quarter over quarter.  Average commercial loans decreased $3.9 million and average mortgage loans de creased $ 2.5 million .  These decreases were partially offset with an increase in the average balance of consumer loans, including home equity loans, which in creas ed by $ 3.6 million.

Interest expense was $ 619 thousand for the second quarter, a decrease of $ 198 thousand from the 201 4 total of $ 817 thousand .  Average interest-bearing liabilities de creased $ 18.7 million to $ 770.1 million for 201 5 from an average balance of $ 788.8 million in 201 4 .  The average cost of these liabilities decreased from 0 . 42 % in 201 4 to 0 . 32 % in 201 5 .  Average interest-bearing deposits in creased $404 thousand and t he cost of these deposits decreased from 0 . 36 % to 0 . 32 %. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase (Repo) accounts were closed out in 2014 and transferred to other products.  All long-term debt was paid off in 2014.

The changes in the balance sheet and interest rates resulted in a n in crease in tax equivalent net interest income of $ 32 thousand to $8. 5 million in 201 5 compared to $8. 4 million in 201 4 .  The increase in net interest income was due to a $1 00 thousand increase from higher volume offset by a $ 68 thousand de crease due to changes in rates.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 201 5 in creased $ 44 thousand compared to the same period in 201 4 .  The in crease in salaries and benefits was primarily due to a $47 thousand increase in salaries, primarily for merit increases, as well as a $ 24 thousand increase in pension expense and a $23 increase in health insurance expense . Net occupancy expenses decreased compared to prior year due to less utility and snow removal expense in 2015. Legal and professional fees decreased as 2014 had higher consulting expenses for the implementation of strategic initiatives. The increase in d ata processing was due to higher charges for mobile banking, remote deposit capture, and Franklin Businesslink due to growth in volume, as well as the migration to a new mortgage origination system. The shares tax increase was due to the growth in the Bank’s balance sheet and shareholders’ equity.  FDIC insurance expense decreased over prior year due to a reduction in the assessment rate used to calculate the premium . Other expenses in creased due to several one-time expenses the Bank took related to branch assets taken out of service.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first six months of 201 5 de creased $ 154 thousand compared to the same period in 201 4 .  The de crease in salaries and benefits was primarily due to a decrease in incentive pay expense, as the 2014 expense included a final adjustment for the 2013 payout, and lower commissions expense , but these de creases were partially offset by increases in pension expense and health insurance expenses . Net occupancy expenses decreased compared to prior year due to less utility and snow removal expense in 2015.  Advertising expenses decreased over prior year, due to the timing of various marketing campaigns . Legal and professional fees decreased due to a change in internal audit firms.  The increase in d ata processing expenses was from higher volumes in mobile banking, remote deposit capture, and Franklin Businesslink volumes, as well as the migration to a new mortgage origination system. FDIC insurance expense decreased over prior year due to a reduction in the assessment rate used to calculate the premium . Other expenses in creased due to one-time expenses the Bank took to fulfill the funding requirement of a deferred director’s benefit plan established thirty years ago, as well as expenses related to branch assets taken out of service.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the first half of 201 5, the Corporation recorded a Federal income tax expense of $ 1.5 million compared to $ 1.0 million for the same period in 201 4 . The increase was due to a lower ratio of tax exempt income to income before federal income taxes . As a result, t he effective tax rate increased to 21 . 5 % for the first six months of 201 5 compared to 1 9 . 7 % for 201 4 .  All taxable income for the Corporation is taxed at a rate of 34%.

Financial Condition

Summary :

At June 30 , 201 5 , assets totaled $1.0 29 b illion, an increase of $ 27 . 1 million from the 201 4 year-end balance of $ 1.001 b illion. Investment securities increased $ 4.7 million, while net loans in creased $ 6.3 million. Deposits were up $ 34.9 million for the first six months of 201 5 due to increases in every deposit category except time deposits and money management accounts . Shareholders’ equity increased $ 3.7 million during the first six months as retained earnings increased approximately $ 3.8 million, other comprehensive loss decreased $ 700 thousand and the Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) added an additional $ 435 thousand in new capital.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $ 64.4 million at June 30 , 201 5, an increase of $ 15.8 million from the prior year-end balance of $ 48 . 6 million. Interest-bearing deposits are held primarily at the Federal Reserve and in short-term bank owned certificates of deposit .

Investment Securities:

The investment portfolio has grown approximately $6 million on a cost basis, since year-end 2014. The composition of the portfolio is essentially unchanged with municipal securities and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities comprising the greatest portion of the portfolio at approximately 41% and 45% of the portfolio fair value, respectively. The Bank invested $21.7 million during the first six months of 2015 with the purchases spread between, U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities.

The investment portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $1.1 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $2.4 million at the prior year-end. The decline in the unrealized gain is primarily the result of a $700 thousand reduction in the unrealized gain in equity securities as Bank should equity securities and recorded the gain from this portfolio. The municipal portfolio also saw its unrealized gains decline during the year, primarily the result of changes in the yield curve.  The portfolio averaged $176.1 million with a yield of 2.90% for the first half of 2015. This compares to an average of $166.6 million and a yield of 2.98% for the same period in 2014.

The Bank holds only one equity security, a Pennsylvania community bank. The municipal bond portfolio is well diversified geographically (issuers from within 29 states) and is comprised primarily of general obligation bonds (70%).  Most municipal bonds have credit enhancements in the form of private bond insurance or other credit support. The largest

36


geographic municipal bond exposure is to 20 issuers in the state of Texas with a fair value of $10.9 million and 15 issuers in the state of Pennsylvania with a fair value of $9.0 million. The average rating of the municipal portfolio from Moody’s is Aa2. It contains $70.2 million of bonds rated A3 or higher and $1.9 million that are not rated by Moody’s rating agency.  No municipal bonds are rated below investment grade.

The holdings of trust preferred investments and private-label mortgage-backed securities are unchanged since year-end and are detailed in separate tables.

The investment portfolio contained 91 securities with $59.9 million of temporarily impaired fair value and $1.6 million in unrealized losses at June 30, 2015. The total unrealized loss position has increased slightly from $1.4 million at year-end 2014.

For securities with an unrealized loss, Management applies a systematic methodology in order to perform an assessment of the potential for other-than-temporary impairment.  In the case of debt securities, investments considered for other-than-temporary impairment: (1) had a specified maturity or repricing date; (2) were generally expected to be redeemed at par, and (3) were expected to achieve a recovery in market value within a reasonable period of time. In addition, the Bank considers whether it intends to sell these securities or whether it will be forced to sell these securities before the earlier of amortized cost recovery or maturity. Equity securities are assessed for other-than-temporary impairment based on the length of time of impairment, dollar amount of the impairment and general market and financial conditions relating to specific issues.  The impairment identified on debt and equity securities and subject to assessment at June 30, 2015, was deemed to be temporary and required no further adjustments to the financial statements, unless otherwise noted.

The municipal bond portfolio has an unrealized loss of $604 thousand at June 30, 2015 compared to $292 thousand at year-end 2014.  This number of securities in this portfolio with an unrealized loss increased from 23 to 40 and the loss in this portfolio is deemed to be non-credit related and no other-than-temporary impairment charges have been recorded.

The trust preferred portfolio contains 7 securities with a fair value of $5.3 million and an unrealized loss of $621 thousand. The trust-preferred securities held by the Bank are single entity issues, not pooled trust preferred securities.  Therefore, the impairment review of these securities is based only on the issuer and the security cannot be impaired by the performance of other issuers as if it was a pooled trust-preferred bond. All of the Bank’s trust preferred securities are single issue, variable rate notes with long maturities (2027 – 2028).  None of these bonds have suspended or missed a dividend payment. At June 30, 2015, the Bank believes it will be able to collect all interest and principal due on these bonds and no other-than-temporary-impairment charges were recorded.

The PLMBS sector shows a net unrealized gain $58 thousand with all bonds showing an unrealized gain.  Even though there is no unrealized loss, due to the nature of these bonds, they are evaluated closely. These bonds were all rated AAA at time of purchase, but have since experienced rating declines. Some have experienced increased delinquencies and defaults, while others have seen the credit support increase as the bonds paid-down. The Bank monitors the performance of the PLMBS investments on a regular basis and reviews delinquencies, default rates, credit support levels and various cash flow stress test scenarios. In determining the credit related loss, Management considers all principal past due 60 days or more as a loss. If additional principal moves beyond 60 days past due, it will also be considered a loss. As a result of the analysis on PLMBS it was determined that a $20 thousand impairment charge was required at the end of the first quarter; however, no additional impairment charge was required at June 30, 2015.   It is primarily a result of the cumulative OTTI charges that these bonds are showing an unrealized gain at quarter end.  The Bank has recorded $555 thousand of cumulative impairment charges on this portfolio. Management continues to monitor these securities and it is possible that additional write-downs may occur if current loss trends continue. The Bank is currently participating in a class-action lawsuit against one PLMBS servicer that centers on defective warranties and representations made as part of the underwriting process .

The Bank held $439 thousand of restricted stock at June 30, 2015.  Except for $30 thousand, this investment represents stock in FHLB Pittsburgh. The Bank is required to hold this stock to be a member of FHLB and it is carried at cost of $100 per share. FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment primarily based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost. As a government sponsored entity, FHLB has the ability to raise funding through the U.S. Treasury that can be used to support its operations.  There is not a public market for FHLB stock and the benefits of FHLB membership (e.g., liquidity and low cost funding) add value to the stock beyond purely financial measures. Management intends to remain a member of the FHLB and believes that it will be able to fully recover the cost basis of this investment.

Loans:

Residential real estate: This category is comprised of consumer purpose loans secured by residential real estate and to a lesser extent, commercial purpose loans secured by residential real estate.  The consumer purpose category represents traditional residential mortgage loans and home equity products (primarily junior liens and lines of credit). Commercial purpose loans in this category represent loans made for various business needs, but are secured with residential real estate. In addition to the real estate collateral, it is possible that additional security is provided by personal guarantees or UCC filings. These loans are underwritten as commercial loans and are not originated to be sold.

Total residential real estate loans increased $4.7 million over 2014, primarily in the commercial first lien and consumer junior liens and lines of credit categories.  For the first six months of 2015, the Bank originated $8.4 million in mortgages, including approximately $3. 8 million for a fee through a third party brokerage agreement. The Bank does not originate or hold any loans that would be considered sub-prime or Alt-A, and does not generally originate mortgages outside of its primary market area.

Residential real estate construction: The largest component of this category represents loans to residential real estate developers ($ 6.7 million), while loans for individuals to construct personal residences totaled $ 1 . 7 million at June 3 0 , 201 5 .  The Bank’s exposure to residential construction loans is concentrated primarily in south central Pennsylvania.

Real estate construction loans, including residential real estate and land development loans, occasionally provide an interest reserve in order to assist the developer during the development stage when minimal cash flow is generated. All real estate construction loans are underwritten in the same manner, regardless of the use of an interest reserve. Real estate construction loans are monitored on a regular basis by either an independent third party inspector or the assigned loan officer depending on loan amount or complexity of the project. This monitoring process includes at a minimum, the submission of invoices and AIA documents of costs incurred by the borrower, on-site inspections, and a signature by the assigned loan officer for disbursement of funds. The Bank does not currently have any residential real estate construction loans with an interest reserve.

Commercial loans and commercial real estate: Loans in this category include commercial, industrial, farm, agricultural, land development and municipal government loans. Collateral for these loans may include commercial real estate, farm real estate, equipment or other business assets. Total commercial real estate loans de creased to $ 317.3 million from $ 326.5 million at the end of 201 4 . The largest sectors (by collateral ) in the commercial real estate category are: office buildings ($45.9 million), land development ($ 45 . 7 million), hotels and motels ($3 5 . 5 million), farm land ($3 3 . 6 million), and auto dealerships ($1 7 . 4 million). Commercial loans increased $13.2 million compared to year end, with increases in commercial and industrial loans ($13.0 million) and municipal loans ($8.8 million), offset by a payoff of $8.5 million from one borrower .  The Bank booked $47.4 million of new commercial loans in the first six months of 2015, but had unexpected pay-offs of $25.7 million from three large commercial loans . Subsequent to quarter end, the Bank booked two large commercial loans totaling $17.4 million. The largest sectors (by industry) in the commercial loan category are: retail trade ($56.7 million), construction ($54.9 million), manufacturing ($40.9 million), food services ($40.4 million) and agriculture ($39.1 million). The Ba nk is very active in its market in pursuing commercial lending opportunities, but supplements in-market growth with purchased loan participations. The Bank purchases commercial loan participations in an effort to increase its commercial lending and diversify its loan mix, both geographically and by industry sector.  Purchased loans are originated primarily within the south central Pennsylvania market and are purchased from only a few select counter parties. These loans usually represent an opportunity to participate in larger credits that are not available in market, with the benefit of lower origination and servicing costs . For the first six months of 201 5 , the Bank purchased $765 thousand of loan participations and commitments.  At June 30, 2015, the Bank held $11 8 .6 million in purchased loan participations in its portfolio.

Consumer loans decreased $749 thousand due primarily to regular payments and maturities.  The Bank believes the consumer portfolio will continue to run-down, as consumers are u nwilling to increase their debt and nearly all consumer auto financing has shifted to dealer financing.

Loan Quality :

Management utilizes a risk rating scale ranging from 1 (Prime) to 9 (Loss) to evaluate loan quality. This risk rating scale is used primarily for commercial purpose loans. Consumer purpose loans are identified as either a pass or substandard rating. Substandard consumer loans are loans that are 90 days or more past due and still accruing.  Loans rated 1 – 4 are considered pass credits. Loans that are rated 5 are pass credits, but have been identified as credits that are likely to warrant additional attention and monitoring. Loans rated 6 (Special Mention) or worse begin to receive enhanced monitoring and reporting by the Bank. Loans rated 7 (Substandard) or 8 (Doubtful) exhibit the greatest financial weakness and present the greatest possible risk of loss to the Bank. Nonaccrual loans are rated no better than 7.   The following factors represent some of the factors used in determining the risk rating of a borrower: cash flow, debt coverage, liquidity, management, and collateral. Risk ratings, for pass credits, are generally reviewed annually for term debt and at renewal for revolving or renewing debt. The Bank monitors loan quality by reviewing four measurements: (1) loans rated 6 or worse (collectively “watch list”), (2) delinquent loans, (3) other real estate owned (OREO), and (4) net-charge-offs. Management compares trends in these measurements with the Bank’s internally established targets, as well as its national peer group.

Watch list loans exhibit financial weaknesses that increase the potential risk of default or loss to the Bank. However, inclusion on the watch list, does not by itself, mean a loss is certain. The watch list includes both performing and nonperforming loans. Watch list loans totaled $38.2 million at quarter-end, a slight improvement from $40.5 million at the prior year-end. The watch list is comprised of $20.3 million rated 6 and $17.9 million rated 7. The Bank has no loans rated 8-doubtful or 9-loss.  The credit composition of the portfolio, by primary collateral is shown in Note 7 of the accompanying financial statement. Included in the substandard loan total is $9.4 million of nonaccrual loans. The Bank’s Loan Management Committee reviews these loans and risk ratings on a quarterly basis in order to proactively identify and manage problem loans. In addition, a committee meets monthly to discuss possible workout strategies for OREO and all credits rated 7 or worse. Management also tracks other commercial loan risk measurements including high loan to value loans, concentrations, participations and policy exceptions and reports these to the Credit Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors. The Bank  also uses a third-party consultant to assist with internal loan review with a goal of reviewing 60% of commercial loans each year. The FDIC defines certain supervisory loan-to-value lending limits.  The Bank’s internal loan–to-value limits are all equal to, or have a lower loan-to-value limit, than the supervisory limits.  At June 30, 2015, the Bank had loans of $ 23.6 million that exceeded the supervisory limit .

Delinquent loans are a result of borrowers’ cash flow and/or alternative sources of cash being insufficient to repay loans.  The Bank’s likelihood of collateral liquidation to repay the loans becomes more probable the further behind a borrower falls, particularly when loans reach 90 days or more past due. Management monitors the performance status of loans by the use of an aging report. The aging report can provide an early indicator of loans that may become severely delinquent and possibly result in a loss to the Bank.  See Note 7 in the accompanying financial statements for a note that presents the aging of payments in the loan portfolio.

Nonaccruing loans generally represent Management’s determination that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan in accordance with its contractual terms and that collateral liquidation may or may not fully repay both interest and principal. It is the Bank’s policy to evaluate the probable collectability of principal and interest due under terms of loan contracts for all loans 90-days or more, nonaccrual loans, or impaired loans. Further, it is the Bank’s policy to discontinue accruing interest on loans that are not adequately secured and in the process of collection.  Upon determination of nonaccrual status, the Bank subtracts any current year accrued and unpaid interest from its income, and any prior year accrued and unpaid interest from the allowance for loan losses.  Management continually monitors the status of nonperforming loans, the value of any collateral and potential of risk of loss.  Nonaccrual loans are rated no better than 7 (Substandard).

Loan quality, as measured by the balance of nonperforming loans, is improving from year-end and the performance ratios related to nonperforming loans have also improved. The following table presents a summary of nonperforming assets:

The following table identifies the most significant loans in nonaccrual status. These six nonaccrual loans account for 90% of the total nonaccrual balance. The table also indicates those significant nonaccrual loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDR). A TDR loan is maintained on nonaccrual status until a satisfactory repayment history is established.  All loans on the watch list that are not on nonaccrual or past due 90 days more are considered potential problem loans. Potential problem loans at June 30, 2015 totaled $28.6 million compared to $27.8 million at year-end 2014.

(1) Appraisal value, as reported, does not reflect the pay-off of any senior liens or the cost to liquidate the collateral, but does reflect only the Bank’s share of the collateral if it is a participated loan.

Credit 1 has been charged down by $3.5 million since being placed on nonaccrual due to declining appraisal values.  This credit is part of a purchased loan participation and the lead bank has reached a settlement agreement with the borrower.  The Bank expects that it will know if the borrower can satisfy the terms of this agreement in the third quarter of 2015 or if this loan will be moved to other real estate owned.  Credit 2 has sold another piece of real estate and the Bank received a pay down of $158 thousand after June 30, 2015.  The remaining balance is expected to be restructured into a new loan.  Credit 3 is a TDR that is performing in accordance with the modified terms. Credit 4 is a hotel and entertainment complex being operated as part of an estate liquidation. Credit 5 borrower and guarantor have filed bankruptcy and are in the process of selling assets that will result in debt reduction. Subsequent to quarter end, the loan was fully paid off . This credit was written down by $749 thousand, including a $200 thousand write down in the first quarter of 2015.  Credit 6 did not comply with a forbearance agreement and a demand letter was issued in July 2015.

In addition to monitoring nonaccrual loans, the Bank also closely monitors impaired loans and troubled debt restructurings (TDR).  A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments due according to the originally contracted terms of the loan agreement.  Nonaccrual loans and TDR loans are always considered impaired. For impaired commercial loans with balances less than $250 thousand and all consumer purpose loans, a specific reserve analysis is not performed and these loans are added to the general allocation pool. In accordance with financial accounting standards, TDR loans are always considered impaired until they are paid off.  However, an impaired TDR loan can be a performing loan. Impaired loans totaled $24.1 million at quarter-end compared to $26.6 million at year-end 2014. Included in the impaired loan total is $14.6 million of accruing TDR loans and $2.1 million of nonaccrual TDR loans. Note 7 of the accompanying financial statements provides additional information on the composition of the impaired loans, including the allowance for loan loss that has been established for impaired loans.

A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the creditor (the Bank), for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions may include lowering the rate, extending the maturity, reamortization of the payment, or a combination of multiple concessions.   The Bank reviews all loans rated 6 or worse when it is providing a loan restructure, modification

44


or new credit facility to determine if the action is a TDR.  If a TDR loan is placed on nonaccrual status, it remains on nonaccrual status for at least six months to ensure performance. All TDR loans are in compliance with their modified terms. See Note 7 in the accompanying financial statements for a note that identifies TDR loans in the portfolio.

The Bank holds $4.0 million of other real estate owned (OREO), comprised of six properties compared to $3.7 million and five properties at December 31, 2014.  The most significant OREO holdings are listed in the table below. The appraised value for Property 2 reflects the commercial and industrial development potential of the property, which is the most likely use for the property. At December 31, 2014, the Bank reported this property with an “as is” valuation. During 2015, the Bank has incurred a net gain of $32 thousand on the sale of OREO and an expense of $19 thousand to hold and maintain OREO.

Allowance for Loan Losses:

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (ALL). The ALL is determined by segmenting the loan portfolio based on the loan’s collateral. The Bank further classifies the portfolio based on the primary purpose of the loan, either consumer or commercial.  When calculating the ALL, consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, diversification of the loan portfolio, delinquency statistics, results of internal loan reviews, historical charge-offs, the adequacy of the underlying collateral (if collateral dependent) and other relevant factors. The Bank begins enhanced monitoring of all loans rated 6 (OAEM) or worse, and obtains a new appraisal or asset valuation for any loan rated 7 (substandard) or worse. Management, at its discretion, may determine that additional adjustments to the appraisal or valuation are required.  Valuation adjustments will be made as necessary based on factors, including, but not limited to: the economy, deferred maintenance, industry, type of property/equipment, age of the appraisal, etc. and the knowledge Management has about a particular situation. In addition, the cost to sell or liquidate the collateral is also estimated and deducted from the valuation in order to determine the net realizable value to the Bank. When determining the allowance for loan losses, certain factors involved in the evaluation are inherently subjective and require material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Management monitors the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on an ongoing basis and reports its adequacy quarterly to the Credit Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2015 is adequate.

The analysis for determining the ALL is consistent with guidance set forth in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The analysis has two components, specific and general allocations. The specific component addresses specific reserves established for impaired loans. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all interest and principal payments due according to the originally contracted terms of the loan agreement.  Collateral values discounted for market conditions and selling costs are used to establish specific allocations for impaired loans. It is possible that as a result of the credit analysis, a specific reserve is not required for an impaired loan. For impaired commercial loans with balances less than $250 thousand and all consumer purpose loans, a specific reserve analysis is not performed and these loans are added to the general allocation pool. At June 30, 2015, impaired loans totaled $24.1 million compared to $26.6 million at year-end 2014. Included in the June impaired loan total are loans of $204 thousand with a specific reserve of $10 thousand.  The specific reserve has decreased $221 thousand since year-

45


end, primarily as the result of a charge-off of $200 thousand on Credit 5 on the significant nonaccrual table that eliminated the $162 thousand specific reserve on this credit at December 31, 2014. Note 7 in the accompanying financial statements provides additional information about the ALL established for impaired loans.

The general allocation component addresses the reserves established for pools of homogenous loans. The general component includes a quantitative and qualitative analysis. When calculating the general allocation, the Bank segregates its loan portfolio into the following sectors based primarily on the type of supporting collateral:  residential real estate, commercial, industrial or agricultural real estate; commercial and industrial (C&I non-real estate), and consumer.  The residential real estate sector is further segregated by first lien loans, junior liens and home equity products, and residential real estate construction. The quantitative analysis uses the Bank’s twenty quarter rolling historical loan loss experience adjusted for factors derived from current economic and market conditions that have been determined to have an effect on the probability and magnitude of a loss. Prior to March 31, 2015, the Bank was using an eight quarter rolling history for the quantitative analysis. The change to a longer historical period is based upon improving charge-offs and a more stable and slowly improving economy.   The historical loss experience resulted in a general allocation of $9.4 million (1.08% of gross loans) compared to $8.9 million (1.00% of gross loans) at December 31, 2014.  The qualitative analysis utilizes a risk matrix that incorporates qualitative and environmental factors such as: loan volume, management, loan review process, credit concentrations, competition, and legal and regulatory issues. These factors are each risk rated from minimal to high risk and in total can add up to a maximum qualitative factor of 37.5 basis points. At quarter-end, this factor was 21.5 basis points unchanged from year-end 2014.  These factors are determined on the basis of Management’s observation, judgment and experience.

Real estate appraisals and collateral valuations are an important part of the Bank’s process for determining potential loss on collateral dependent loans and thereby have a direct effect on the determination of loan reserves, charge-offs and the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.  As long as the loan remains a performing loan, no further updates to appraisals are required. If a loan or relationship migrates to risk rating of 7 or worse, an evaluation for impairment status is made based on the current information available at the time of downgrade and a new appraisal or collateral valuation is obtained.

In determining the allowance for loan losses, Management, at its discretion, may determine that additional adjustments to the fair value obtained from an appraisal or collateral valuation are required. Adjustments will be made as necessary based on factors, including, but not limited to the economy, deferred maintenance, industry, type of property or equipment etc., and the knowledge Management has about a particular situation. In addition, the cost to sell or liquidate the collateral is also estimated and deducted from the valuation in order to determine the net realizable value to the Bank. If an appraisal is not available, Management may make its best estimate of the real value of the collateral or use last known market value and apply appropriate discounts.  If an adjustment is made to the collateral valuation, this will be documented with appropriate support and reported to the Loan Management Committee.

During the first half of 2015, the Bank recorded $635 thousand for the loan loss provision expense, $171 thousand more than the same period in 2014.  For the second quarter of 2015, the provision expense was $310 thousand compared to $266 thousand for the same quarter of 2014.

Charged-off loans usually result from: (1) a borrower being legally relieved of loan repayment responsibility through bankruptcy, (2) insufficient collateral sale proceeds to repay a loan; or (3) the borrower and/or guarantor does not own other assets that, if sold, would generate sufficient sale proceeds to repay a loan. The Bank recorded net loan charge-offs of $296 thousand for the six months of 2015. The largest charge-off during the period was $200 thousand related to Credit 5 on the significant nonaccrual table.

Borrowings:

The Corporation had no short-term or long-term borrowings at June 30, 2015 .

Shareholders’ Equity:

Total shareholders’ equity increased $ 3 . 7 million to $ 107.2 million at June 3 0 , 201 5 , compared to $ 103.5 million at the end of 201 4 .  The increase in retained earnings from the Corporation’s net income of $ 5 . 4 million was partially offset by the cash dividend of $ 1.5 million . The Corporation’s dividend payout ratio is 28 . 4 % for the first six months of 201 5 compared to 34 . 2% in 201 4 .

As part of its quarterly dividend decision, the Corporation considers current and future income projections, dividend yield, payout ratio, and current and future capital ratios. Year-to-date , the Corporation paid dividends of $0.36 per share, compared to $.034 for the same period in 2014, 5.9% increase. For the second quarter of 2015, the Corporation paid a $.1 9 per share dividend for the second quarter of 201 5, compared to $. 1 7 paid in the second quarter of 201 4 . On July 23, 2015 the Board of Directors declared a $0.19 per share regular quarterly dividend for the third quarter of 2015, which will be paid on August 26, 2015.

In addition, the Corporation considers how dividend decisions may affect the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP), which has raised $ 435 thousand in new capital this year with 18 , 507 new shares purchased.  The Corporation continually explores other sources of capital as part of its capital management plan for the Corporation and the Bank.  The Corporation did not repurchase any shares of the Corporation’s common stock during the first six months of 201 5 .

Capital adequacy is currently defined by regulatory agencies through the use of several minimum required ratios.  In July 2013, Federal Banking regulators approved the final rules from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for the regulation of capital requirements for U.S. Banks, generally referred to as “Basel III.”  Base l III imposes significantly higher capital requirements and more restrictive leverage and liquidity ratios than those in place at the end of 2014.  The capital ratios to be considered “well capitalized” under Basel III are: common equity tier 1 of 6.5%, Tier 1 leverage of 5%, Tier 1 risk-based capital of 8%, and Total Risk-Based capital of 10%.  The common equity tier 1 ratio is a new capital ratio under Basel III .  Common equity consists of common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.  T he Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8% has been increased from 6%.  The new rule also includes a provision for banks to make a one-time irrevocable choice to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) from its common equity Tier 1 capital.  The Bank elected to exclude AOCI from the capital calculation with its March 31, 2015 regulatory filing.  In addition, a capital conservation buffer will be required to be maintained above the minimum capital ratios to avoid any capital distribution restrictions.  The capital conservation buffer will be phased in from 0% in 2015 to 2.5% in 2019.  The Basel III capital rules took effect for the Corporation and the Bank on January 1, 2015.  At June 3 0 , 2015, the Corporation and the Bank were both well capitalized as defined by the banking regulatory agencies.

The following table summarizes regulatory capital information as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 on a consolidated basis and for the Bank, as defined.  Regulatory capital ratios for June 30, 2015 were calculated in accordance with the Basel III rules, whereas the December 31, 2015 regulatory ratios were calculated in accordance with Basel I rules.  The minimum regulatory ratios shown below define capital levels under Basel III rules.

Economy

The Corporation’s primary market area includes Franklin, Fulton, Cumberland and Huntingdon County, PA.  This area is diverse in demographic and economic makeup.  County populations range from a low of approximately 1 4 ,000 in Fulton County to over 2 20, 000 in Cumberland County. Unemployment in the Bank’s market area has remained virtually unchanged over the past year and ranges from a low of 3 . 5 % in Cumberland County to high of 5 . 9 % in Huntingdon County.  The market area has a diverse economic base and local industries include, warehousing, truck & rail shipping centers, light and heavy manufacturers, health-care, higher education institutions, farming and agriculture, and a varied service sector.  The Corporation’s primary market area is located in south central Pennsylvania and provides easy access to the major metropolitan markets on the east coast via trucking and rail transportation. Because of this, warehousing and distribution companies continue to find the area attractive. The local economy is not overly dependent on any one industry

Unlike many companies, the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are financial in nature. As such, interest rates and changes in interest rates may have a more significant effect on the Corporation’s financial results than on other types of industries . Because of this, the Corporation watches the actions of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) as it makes decisions about interest rate changes . The FOMC continues to hold short-term rates at historic lows.  It continues to monitor employment and inflation data as it considers the timing of an increase in the Fed Funds rate.  Many analysts believe that the FOMC will begin to increase rates in the second half 2015.

Liquidity

The Corporation must meet the financial needs of the customers that it serves, while providing a satisfactory return on the shareholders’ investment.  In order to accomplish this, the Corporation must maintain sufficient liquidity in order to respond quickly to the changing level of funds required for both loan and deposit activity.  The goal of liquidity management is to meet the ongoing cash flow requirements of depositors who want to withdraw funds and of borrowers who request loan disbursements. The Bank regularly reviews it liquidity position by measuring its projected net cash flows (in and out) at a 30 and 90-day interval.  The Bank stresses this measurement by assuming a level of deposit out-flows that have not historically been realized. In addition to this forecast, other funding sources are reviewed as a method to provide emergency funding if necessary.  The objective of this measurement is to identify the amount of cash that could be raised quickly without the need to liquidate assets.  The Bank also stresses its liquidity position utilizing different longer-term scenarios.  The varying degrees of stress create pressure on deposit flows in its local market, reduce access to wholesale funding and limit access of funds available through brokered deposit channels. In addition to stressing cash flow, specific liquidity risk indicators are monitored to help identify risk areas.  This analysis will help identify and quantify the potential cash surplus/deficit over a variety of time horizons to ensure the Bank has adequate funding resources.  Assumptions used for liquidity stress testing are subjective.  Should an evolving liquidity situation or business cycle present new data, potential assumption changes will be considered.  The Bank believes it can meet all anticipated liquidity demands.

Historically, the Corporation has satisfied its liquidity needs from earnings, repayment of loans and amortizing investment securities, maturing investment securities, loan` sales, deposit growth and its ability to access existing lines of credit.  All investment securities are classified as available for sale; therefore, securities that are not pledged as collateral for borrowings are an additional source of readily available liquidity, either by selling the security or, more preferably, to provide collateral for additional borrowing. At June 3 0 , 201 5 , the Bank had approximately $ 69.3 million (fair value) in its investment portfolio pledged as collateral for deposits.  Another source of available liquidity for the Bank is a line of credit with the FHLB.  At June 3 0 , 201 5 , the Bank had approximately $35 million available on this line of credit and $16 .0 million of unsecured lines of credit at correspondent banks. A t June 3 0 , 201 5 , the Bank had an excess borrowing

51


capacity of $ 240.8 million, which includes the amount available on the line of credit.  The Bank has established credit at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and as of quarter-end had the ability to borrow approximately $ 28 million.

Off Balance Sheet Commitments

The Corporation’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk.  These commitments consist mainly of unfunded loans and letters of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments.  Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Corporation.  Unused commitments and standby letters of credit totaled $27 4 .1 million and $248.3 million, respectively, at June 3 0 , 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Corporation has entered into various contractual obligations to make future payments.  These obligations include time deposits, long-term debt, operating leases, deferred compensation and pension payments.  These amounts have not changed materially from those reported in the Corporation’s 201 4 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3 .  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes in the Corporation’s exposure to market risk during the six months ended June 3 0 , 201 5 . For more information on market risk refer to the Corporation’s 201 4 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Pr ocedures

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

The Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon the evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 3 0 , 201 5 , the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

The management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Corporation’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
