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 30, 2019 , 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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated results of operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 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, 2018 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

The following accounting pronouncements have recently been adopted or will be adopted in future periods. For information on accounting pronouncements previously adopted, please refer to the Corporation’s report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2018.


Standard	Description	Effective Date	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and all subsequently issued amendments	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Subtopic 842)." This ASU requires all lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset, measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, at the lease commencement date. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged under the new guidance. FASB subsequently issued various amendments that provided implementation guidance designed to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new standard. From the lessee's perspective, the new standard requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees. ASU 2016-02 and all subsequent amendments are effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.	January 1, 2019	The Corporation adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" and all subsequent amendments on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, and it did not have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a lease liability and a right-of-use asset of $6.2 million without a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Corporation did not restate any prior period results. The Corporation adopted the package of practical expedients offered in ASU 2016-02 and therefore, existing lease classifications were not reassessed, expired or existing contracts were not reassessed for a lease, and the initial direct costs for any existing leases were not reassessed. In addition to the package of practical expedients, the Corporation also utilized other practical expedients offered: (1) the hindsight expedient which allows entities to use hindsight to determine the lease term was not adopted, (2) leases, for all underlying asset classes, with a term less than 12 months and no purchase option were excluded, (3) the option to not separate lease and non-lease components and account for them as a single component was adopted for real estate leases, and (4) the option to not apply lease accounting to existing land easements was adopted. See Note 7 for additional information on the adoption of the new standard.

ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework (Topic 820)	This guidance eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Among the changes, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements.	January 1, 2019	The Corporation adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations.

ASU 2018-15, Accounting for Implementation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (Topic 350)	This ASU required an entity in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. Capitalized implementation costs should be presented in the same line item on the balance sheet as amounts prepaid for the hosted service, if any (generally as an "other asset"). The capitalized costs will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, with the amortization expense being presented in the same income statement line item as the fees paid for the hosted service. The ASU is effective January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted.	January 1, 2020	The Corporation adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations.

ASU 2017-04, Goodwill (Topic 350)	This guidance, among other things, removes step 2 of the goodwill impairment test thus eliminating the need to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Upon adoption of this standard, goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This may result in more or less impairment being recognized than under the current guidance. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017, applied prospectively.	January 1, 2020	The Corporation early adopted the ASU in the fourth quarter of 2018 with the completion of the 2018 impairment analysis. The ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-14, Disclosure Framework (Topic 715): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans	This ASU makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other postretirement benefit plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020; early adoption is permitted.	January 1, 2020	The Corporation will adopt the provisions of the ASU on January 1, 2020. As the ASU only revises disclosure requirements, it is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments	This standard requires credit losses on most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected credit loss model (referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model). Under this model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications unless reasonable expectation of a troubled debt restructuring exists) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. The ASU replaces the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities. The allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”), should be determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis. However, upon initial recognition, the allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price (“gross up approach”) to determine the initial amortized cost basis. The subsequent accounting for PCD financial assets is the same expected loss model described above. On July 17, 2019, FASB tentatively decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies to January 2023. The FASB plans to issue a proposed ASU in the near future to expose the tentative decision for public comment. The comment period is expected to last 30 days.	January 1, 2020	We have formed an implementation team led by the Corporation's Risk Management function. The team is reviewing the requirements of the ASU and evaluating methods and models for implementation. The new standard will result in earlier recognition of additions to the allowance for loan losses and possibly a larger allowance for loan loss balance with a corresponding increase in the provision for loan losses in results of operations; however, the Corporation is continuing to evaluate the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements. A third-party vendor has been selected to assist with the CECL calculations and the implementation process has started. The Corporation began running the CECL model in test mode in the second quarter of 2019.

ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief	This ASU allows entities to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that (1) were previously recorded at amortized cost and (2) are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. ASU 2019-05 has the same effective date as ASU 2016-13.	January 1, 2020	The Corporation will continue to review the ASU as part of its adoption of ASU 2016-13

Impairment :

The AFS securities portfolio contained 84 securities with $37.3 million of temporarily impaired fair value and $481 thousand in unrealized losses at June 30, 2019. The total unrealized loss position has decreased $1.1 million since year-end 2018.

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. The impairment identified on debt securities and subject to assessment at June 30, 2019, 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 AFS portfolio, 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 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 :

Equity securities at Fair Value

The Corporation owns one equity investment. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, this investment was reported at fair value of $390 thousand and $374 thousand, respectively, with changes in value reported through income.

Restricted Stock at Cost

The Bank held $465 thousand of restricted stock at June 30, 2019. 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. The level of FHLB stock held is determined by FHLB and is comprised of a minimum membership amount plus a variable activity amount. 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 .

Note 5 . Loans

The Bank reports i t s loan portfolio based on the primary collateral of the loan. It further classifies these loans by the primary purpose, either consumer or commercial. The Bank’s residential real estate loans include long-term loans to individuals and businesses secured by mortgages on the borrower’s real property and include home equity loans . Construction loans are made to finance the purchase of land and the construction of residential and commercial buildings thereon, and are secured by mortgages on real estate. Commercial real estate loans include construction, owner and non-owner occupied properties and farm real estate. Commercial loans are made to businesses of various sizes for a variety of purposes including property, plant and equipment, working capital and loans to government municipalities . Commercial lending is concentrated in the Bank’s primary market, but also includes purchased loan participations. Consumer loans are comprised of installment loans and unsecured personal lines of credit.

A summary of loans outstanding, by class , at the end of the reporting periods is as follows:

Note 7. Leases

The Corporation adopted ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and all subsequent amendments on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The Corporation has elected the option to apply the new standard as of January 1, 2019 without restatement of any prior period results. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a lease liability and a right-of - use asset of $6.2 million without a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings.

The Corporation leases various assets in the course of its operations that are subject to recognition under the new standard. The Corporation considers all of i t s leases to be operating leases and it has no finance leases. The leased assets are comprised of equipment , and buildings and land (collectively real estate). The equipment leases are shorter-term than the real estate leases, and generally have a fixed payment over a defined term without renewal options. Certain equipment leases have purchase options and it was determined the option was not reasonably certain to be exercised. T he real estate leases are longer-term and may contain renewal options after the initial term, but none of the real estate leases contain a purchase option. The renewal options on real estate leases were reviewed and if it was determined the option was reasonably certain to be renewed, the option term was considered in the determination of the lease liability. There is only one real estate lease with a variable payment based on an index included in the lease liability. None of the leases contain any restrictive covenants and there are no significant leases that have not yet commenced. The discount rate used to determine the lease liability is based on the Bank’s fully secured borrowing rate from the Federal Home Loan Bank for a term similar to the lease term. Adoption of the new standard did not affect the Corporation’s status as a “well-capitalized” institution. The Corporation has one real estate lease to a related party with a liability value of $ 1.8 million . Operating lease expense is included in net occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 1 for additional information on the adoption of the new standard.

Lease costs for the three and six months ended June 3 0 , 201 9 were as follows:

The Bank expects its pension expense to de crease to approximately $ 420 thousand in 201 9 compared to $ 500 thousand in 201 8 , due primarily to de creases in service costs and recognized net actuarial losses . The service cost component of pension expense is in the salaries and employee benefits line on the income statement. All other cost components are in the other expense line on the income statement.

Note 10. 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-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. The Corporation uses the exit price notion to measure the fair value of financial instruments.

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 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:

Includes assets directly charged-down to fair value during the year-to-date period.

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 se assets, the Corporation recognizes charge-offs through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent charge-offs are recognized as an expense.

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 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . 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 30, 2019 .

The following table presents additional quantitative information about Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Note 1 1 . 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 bank holding companies and U.S banks, generally referred to as “Basel III.” The Basel III standards were effective for the Corporation and the Bank, effective January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Basel III imposes significantly higher capital requirements and more restrictive leverage and liquidity ratios than those previously in place. The capital ratios to be considered “well capitalized” under Basel III are: (1) Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) of 6.5% , (2) Tier 1 Leverage of 5% , (3) Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital of 8% , and (4) Total Risk-Based Capital of 10% . The CET1 ratio is a new capital ratio under Basel III and the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8% has been increased from 6% . The rules also include changes in the risk weights of certain assets to better reflect credit and other risk exposures. In addition, a capital conservation buffer w as phased-in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0. 6 25% , 1.25% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018 and 2.50% for 2019 and thereafter. The capital conservation buffer will be applicable to all of the capital ratios except for the Tier1 Leverage ratio. The capital conservation buffer is equal to the lowest value of the three applicable capital ratios less the regulatory minimum for each respective capital measurement. The Bank’s capital conservation buffer at June 30, 2019 was 7 . 1 9 % (total risk-based capital 1 5 . 19 % less 8.00%) compared to the 201 9 regulatory buffer of 2 . 50 %. Compliance with the capital conservation buffer is required in order to avoid limitations to certain capital distributions and is in addition to the Basel III capital requirements . As of June 30, 2019 , the Bank was “well capitalized’ under the Basel III requirements .

The following table summarizes the Basel III regulatory capital requirements and results as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for the Corporation and the Bank :

Note 1 2 . Revenue Recognition

The Corporation adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach applied to all contracts initiated on or after the effective date, and for contracts which have remaining obligations as of the effective date. Results for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606 while the prior period results continue to be reported under legacy GAAP. Adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on any of the reported periods. The Corporation did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning retained earnings balance as of January 1, 2018 from the adoption of ASC 606 as it was determined the transition adjustment was immaterial to Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

All of the Corporation’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income as presented in our consolidated statements of income. Revenue generating activities that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are described as follows:

Investment and Trust Service Fees - these represent fees from wealth management (assets under management), fees from the management an d settlement of estates and commissions from the sale of investment and insurance products.

Asset management fees are generally assessed based on a tiered fee schedule, based on the value of assets under management, and are recognized monthly when the service obligation is completed. Fees recognized were $ 1 . 5 million for the second quarter of 201 9 an d $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. Asset management fees y ear-to-date as of June 30 were $2.8 million for 2019 and $2.6 million for 2018.

Fees for estate management services are based on the estimated fair value of the estate. These fees are generally recognized monthly over an 18 month period that Management has determined to represent the average time to fulfill the performance obligation s of the contract. Management has the discretion to adjust this time period as needed based upon the nature and complexity of an individual estate. Fees recognized were $ 84 thousand for the second quarter of 201 9 , compared to $ 81 thousand for the second quarter of 2018. Estate management fees y ear-to-date as of June 30 were $154 thousand in 2019 and $142 thousand in 2018.

Commissions from the sale of investment and insurance products are recognized upon the completion of the transaction. Commissions recognized were $ 6 7 thousand for the second quarter of 201 9 and $76 thousand for 2018 . Year-to-date commissions as of June 30 were $135 thousand for 2019 and $144 thousand for 2018

Loan Service Charges – these represent fees on loans for services or charges that occur after the loan has been booked, for example, late payment fees. These also include fees for mortgages settled for a third party mortgage company.

All of these fees are transactional in nature and are recognized upon completion of the transaction which represents the performance obligation.

Deposit Service Charges and Fee s – these represent fees from deposit customers for transaction based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction based fees include, but are not limited to stop payment fees and overdraft fees. These fees are recognized at the time of the transaction when the performance obligation has been fulfilled. Account maintenance fees and account analysis fee are earned over the course of a month, representing the period of the performance obligation, and are recognized monthly.

Debit Card Income – this represents interchange fees from cardholder transactions conducted through the card payment network. Cardholders use the debit card to conduct point-of-sale transactions that produce interchange fees. The fees are transaction based and the fee is recognized with the processing of the transaction. These fees are reported net of cardholder rewards.

Other Service Charges and Fees – these are comprised primarily of merchant card fees, credit card fees, ATM surcharges and interchange fees and wire transfer fees. Merchant card fees represent fees the Bank earns from a third party for enrolling a customer in the processor’s program. Credit card fees represent a fee earned by the Bank for a successful referral to a card-issuing company. ATM surcharges and interchange fees are the result of Bank customers conducting ATM transactions that generate fee income and are processed through multiple card networks. All of these fees are transaction based and are recognized at the time of the transaction.

Gains/Losses on the Sale of Other Real Estate – these are recognized when control of the property transfers to the buyer.

Increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance and security transactions are not within the scope of ASC 606.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based on month-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into longer-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances.

Contract Acquisition Costs

The Corporation expenses all contract acquisition costs as costs are incurred.

1 Note 1 3 . Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to financial instruments that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements and are commonly referred to as off-balance-sheet instruments. These financial instruments are entered into primarily to meet the financing needs of the Bank’s customers and include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by other parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The Bank had the following outstanding commitments for the periods presented:


	June 30,		December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2019		2018
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk
Commercial commitments to extend credit	$	270,082	$	216,913
Consumer commitments to extend credit (secured)		51,252		49,221
Consumer commitments to extend credit (unsecured)		5,392		5,605
	$	326,726	$	271,739
Standby letters of credit	$	27,382	$	25,429

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses with the exception of home equity lines and personal lines of credit and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank, is based on Management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral for most commercial commitments varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Collateral for secured consumer commitments consists of liens on residential real estate.

Standby letters of credit are instruments issued by the Bank, which guarantee the beneficiary payment by the Bank in the event of default by the Bank’s customer in the nonperformance of an obligation or service. Most standby letters of credit are extended for one-year periods. Generally, t he credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary primarily in the form of certificates of deposit and liens on real estate. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. As of June 30, 2018, the Bank established a $2.4 million allowance against letters of credit issued in connection with a commercial borrower that declared bankruptcy in the second quarter of 2018 which remains at June 3 0 , 2019 . Except for the liability recorded for standby letters of credit, liabilities for credit loss associated with off-balance sheet commitments were not material at June 3 0 , 201 9 and December 31, 201 8 .

Most of the Bank’s business activity is with customers located within its primary market and does not involve any significant concentrations of credit to any one entity or industry.

Legal Proceedings

The nature of the Corporation’s business generates a certain amount of litigation.

We establish accruals for legal proceedings when information related to the loss contingencies represented by those matters indicates both that a loss is probabl e and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When we are able to do so, we also determine estimates of possible losses, whether in excess of any accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability.

These assessments are based on our analysis of currently available information and are subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and uncertainties. As new information is obtained, we may change our assessments and, as a result, take or adjust the amounts of our accruals and change our estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and the unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts that may be accrued or included in estimates of possible losses or ranges of possible losses may not represent the actual loss to the Corporation from any legal proceeding. Our exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, possibly significantly higher, than amounts we may accrue or amounts we may estimate.

In management’s opinion, we do not anticipate, at the present time, that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, arising out of all litigation to which the Corporat ion is a party at this time will h ave a material adverse effect on our financial position. We cannot now determine, however, whether or not any claim asserted against us will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any future reporting period, which will depend on, amount other things, the amount of loss resulting from the claim and the amount of income otherwise reported for the reporting period. Thus, at June 3 0 , 2019 , we are unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss with respect to such other matters and, accordingly, have not yet established any specific accrual for such other matters.

No material proceedings are pending or are known to be threatened or contemplated against us by governmental authorities.

Results of Operations

Summary

Reported net income of $4.0 million for the second quarter and $7.2 million year-to-date

Diluted earnings per share increased to $.90 for the second quarter, from -$1.18 in the second quarter of 2018. Year-to-date diluted earnings per share was $1.63 compared to -$.38 for the same period in 2018.

Net interest income increased $ 464 thousand quarter over quarter and $1.1 million year over year due to the growth in interest income which outpaced higher interest expense.

A provision for loan loss expense was not recorded during the second quarter of 2019; however, due to slower loan growth, the Bank maintained an allowance coverage ratio of 1.28%, which was unchanged from year-end 2018. For the first six months of 2019, the provision for loan loss expense was $399 thousand. The provision for loan loss expense for the second quarter and year-to-date periods in 2018 was affected by the impairment charges on the loan participation initially reported in our current report on Form 8-K filed May 31, 2018.

Noninterest income increased $ 475 thousand quarter over quarter and $493 year over year primarily from asset management fees in the Bank’s Investment and Trust Services department ($183 thousand) and gains from the sale of debt securities ($229 thousand) .

Noninterest expense de creased $ 1.6 million quarter over quarter and $820 thousand year over year primarily from the $2.4 million provision expense for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures in 2018 for the participation, which was offset by increases in salaries and benefits , audit related costs and a building feasibility study.

Total assets were $1. 252 billion at June 3 0 , 2019, an increase of $ 42.6 million from the 2018 year-end balance of $1. 210 billion

The loan portfolio increased approximately $9 .1 million due to g rowth in commercial real estate loans for land development.

A lease liability and a right-of-use asset of $6.2 million were initially recognized in 2019 .

Deposits increased $30.4 million primarily in interest-bearing commercial deposits .

Shareholders’ equity in creased $ 5 . 5 million due to net income of $7.2 million and a $1.9 million increase in other comprehensive income for the year, partially offset by year-to-date dividends of $2.5 million .

Key performance ratios as of, or for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2018 are listed below:

GAAP versus non-GAAP Presentations – The Corporation supplements its traditional GAAP measurements with certain non-GAAP measurements to evaluate its performance and to eliminate the effect of intangible assets. By eliminating intangible assets (Goodwill) , the Corporation believes it presents a measurement that is comparable to companies that have no intangible assets or to companies that have eliminated intangible assets in similar calculations. However, not all companies may use the same calculation method for each measurement. The non-GAAP measurements are not intended to be used as a substitute for the related GAAP measurements. The following table shows the calculation of the non-GAAP measurements.

Net Interest Income

The largest 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, 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 21 % Federal statutory rate.

Compar ison of the three months ended June 30, 2019 to the three months ended June 30, 2018 :

Tax equivalent net interest income increased $ 449 thousand to $10. 9 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $10. 5 million in the same period in 2018. Balance sheet volume contributed $34 6 thousand to this increase and $ 103 thousand was the result of changes in rates.

The following table presents average balances, tax-equivalent (T/E) interest income, and yields earned or rates paid on the assets or liabilities. All nontaxable interest income has been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of 21%.

Provision for Loan Losses

Following its second quarter assessment and analysis, t he Bank took no p rovision for loan loss expense for the second quarter due to slower loan growth , compared to $ 9.1 million in 2018 . During the second quarter of 2018, $8.7 million of a loan participation was charged-off resulting in an increase in the provision for loan loss expense to replenish the allowance for loan losses. For more information refer to the Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses discussion in the Financial Condition section.

Noninterest Income

For the second quarter of 2019 , noninterest income increased $ 475 thousand from the same period in 2018 . Investment and trust service fees increased due to growth in assets under management. Deposit service charges increased due to a higher volume of account analysis fees and retail checking fees , p artially offset by lower fees from the Bank’s overdraft protection program . Other service charges and fees were higher from increased income from the Bank’s merchant card and credit card program s , as well as ATM fees . Debit card income was higher due to an increase in transaction volume. Gains on the sale of debt securities increased $177 thousand, as the Bank sold municipal bonds due to improved market conditions and in part to offset the expense of a building feasibility study and certain audit related costs in the second quarter of 2019. The change in the fair value of equity investments recorded through income was a gain of $ 13 thousand compared to a loss of $ 7 thousand in the same period in 2018.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the second quarter, the Corporation recorded a Federal income tax expense of $ 669 thousand compared to a tax benefit of $ 1.8 million for the same quarter i n 2018 . The tax benefit was the result of a pre-tax loss due to the large provision for loan loss expense to replenish the allowance for loan losses from the $8.7 million loan participation charge-off in the second quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was 1 4 . 4 %. The federal statutory tax rate is 21% for 2019 and 2018.

Compar ison of the six months ended June 30, 2019 to the six months ended June 30, 2018 :

Tax equivalent net interest income increased $ 1.1 million to $ 21.6 million in the first half of 2019 compared to $ 20.5 million in the same period in 2018. Balance sheet volume contributed $ 676 thousand to this increase and $ 427 thousand was the result of changes in rates.

Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for loan loss expense for the first half was $ 399 thousand compared to $9 .3 million in 2018 . During the second quarter of 2018, $8.7 million of a loan participation was charged-off resulting in an increase in the provision for loan loss expense to replenish the allowance for loan losses. For more information refer to the Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses discussion in the Financial Condition section.

Noninterest Income

For the first half of 2019 , noninterest income increased $ 493 thousand from the same period in 2018 . Investment and trust service fees increased due to growth in assets under management. Loan service charges were less than the same period in 2018 due to a lower volume of commercial loan originations. Other service charges and fees were higher from increased income from the Bank’s merchant card and credit card program s as well as ATM fees . Debit card income was

higher due to an increase in transaction volume. Gains on the sale of debt securities increased $201 thousand, as the Bank sold municipal bonds due to improved market conditions and in part to offset the expense of a building feasibility and certain audit related costs . The change in the fair value of equity investments recorded through income was a gain of $ 16 thousand compared to a gain of $ 38 thousand in the same period in 2018.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first half of 201 9 de creased $ 820 thousand compared to the same period in 201 8 . The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to an increase in salary expense ($ 740 thousand) from merit increases and incentive plans ($ 122 thousand) , offset by a decrease in health insurance ($147 thousand) compared to the same period in 201 8. The increase in legal and professional fees was due to increased audit related costs for additional regulatory filings and the change to a new external audit firm during the second half of 2019. Data processing in creased due to increase d mobile banking offerings and software purchased to improve processes and create efficiencies. FDIC insurance expense decreased due to a reduction in the Bank’s base assessment rate. As of June 30, 2018, the Bank established a $2.4 million allowance against letters of credit issued in connection with a commercial borrower that declared bankruptcy in the second quarter of 2018 which remains at June 30, 2019. Other expenses increased related to the expense of a building feasibility study, Nasdaq listing fee , increased director’s fees and recruiting fees .

Provision for Income Taxes

For the first half of 2019 , the Corporation recorded a Federal income tax expense of $ 1. 1 million compared to a tax benefit of $ 1.3 million for the same period i n 2018 . The tax benefit was the result of a pre-tax loss due to the large provision for loan loss expense to replenish the allowance for loan losses from the $8.7 million loan participation charge-off in 2018. The effective tax rate for 2019 was 1 3 . 4 %. The federal statutory tax rate is 21% for 2019 and 2018.

Financial Condition

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $ 82 . 4 million at June 3 0 , 2019, a n in crease of $ 29.4 million from the prior year-end balance of $5 3.0 million. The in crease was mainly due to higher interest bearing balances at the Federal Reserve. Interest-bearing deposits are held primarily at the Federal Reserve ($ 54 . 4 million) and in short-term bank owned certificates of deposit ($ 9 . 2 million).

Investment Securities:

AFS Securities: The AFS securities portfolio has decreased $4.4 million on a cost basis, since year-end 2018. The composition of the portfolio has remained consistent with municipal securities and U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities comprising the greatest portion of the portfolio at approximately 47% and 36% of the portfolio fair value, respectively. The average life of the portfolio was 4.28 years.

The AFS securities portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $1.3 million at June 30, 2019 compared to a net unrealized loss of $1.1 million at the prior year-end. The portfolio averaged $130.6 million with a yield of 2.95% for the first six months of 2019. This compares to an average of $131.7 million and a yield of 2.71% for the same period in 2018.

The municipal bond portfolio is well diversified geographically (issuers from within 27 states) and is comprised primarily of general obligation bonds (62.3%). Many municipal bonds have credit enhancements in the form of private bond insurance or other credit support. The largest geographic municipal bond exposure is in the states of Texas (14.3%), New York (8.8%), and Indiana (7.4%). The average rating of the municipal portfolio from Moody’s is AA. No municipal bonds are rated below investment grade.

The unrealized loss in the municipal bond portfolio decreased to $46 thousand from $484 thousand at December 31, 2018 as interest rates rose during the year. There are eight securities in this portfolio with an unrealized loss 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 five securities with a fair value of $3.9 million and an unrealized loss of $189 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, 2019, 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.

Equity securities at Fair Value: The Corporation owns one equity investment. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, this investment was reported at fair value of $390 thousand and $374 thousand, respectively, with changes in value reported through income.

Restricted Stock at Cost: The Bank held $465 thousand of restricted stock at June 30, 2019. 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. The level of FHLB stock held is determined by FHLB and is comprised of a minimum membership amount plus a variable activity amount. 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 decreased $ 4 . 2 million over year-end 201 8 , as the Bank retained a lower percentage of its originations . For the first six months of 201 9 , the Bank origi nated $16.8 million and sold $ 1 6 . 3 million i n mortgages 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 ($ 1 0 . 6 million), while loans for individuals to construct personal residences totaled $ 3 . 5 million at June 3 0 ,

2019 . 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.

At June 3 0 , 201 9 , the Bank had $ 20 . 0 million in real estate construction loans funded with an interest reserve and capitaliz ed $ 130 thousand of interest in 2019 from these reserves on active projects. These loans were comprised of $2.5 million in residential construction and $ 17.5 million in commercial construction. 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 (depending on the complexity of the project) detailing costs incurred by the borrower, on-site inspections, and a signature by the assigned loan officer for disbursement of funds.

Commercial real estate (CRE): This category includes commercial, industrial, farm and agricultural loans, where real estate serves as the primary collateral for the loans. Total commercial real estate loans increased to $ 505 . 7 million from $488.0 million at the end of 2018, an increase of $1 7 . 7 million. The increase was primarily in land development loans . The largest sectors (by collateral) in the commercial real estate category are: hotels and motels ($74. 1 million), office buildings ($62. 4 million), land development ($ 52 . 7 million), manufacturing facilities ($41. 4 million) and warehouse facilities ($3 1 . 6 million).

Commercial (C&I): This category includes commercial, industrial, farm, agricultural, and municipal loans. C&I loans decreased $ 9 . 2 million to $26 4 . 9 million at June 3 0 , 2019, compared to $274.1 million at the end of 2018, primarily due to a $3.9 million tax free loan pay-off in the first quarter of 2019 and a $4.1 million pay-off in the second quarter . At June 3 0 , 2019, the Bank had approximately $16 0 million in tax-free loans in the C&I portfolio. The largest sectors (by industry) in the commercial C&I category are: public administration ($ 83 . 1 million), utilities ($34. 5 million), educational services ($25. 2 million) and real estate rental and leasing ($1 6 . 4 million). The Bank expects that commercial lending will continue to be the primary area of loan growth in the future via in-market lending.

Participations: The Bank may supplement its own commercial loan production by purchasing loan participations. These participations are primarily located in south-central Pennsylvania. At June 3 0 , 2019, the outstanding commercial participations accounted for 8 . 8 %, or $ 86 . 1 million, of total gross loans compared to 9 . 6 % and $93.4 million at December 31, 2018. The Bank’s total exposure (including outstanding balances and unfunded commitments) to purchased participations is $1 08 . 9 million , compared to $120.4 million at December 31, 2018. The commercial loan participations are comprised of $ 19 . 2 million of C&I loans and $6 6 . 9 million of CRE loans, reported in the respective loan class. The above results indicate that Management has been executing its strategy to emphasize loan originations over purchasing participations.

Consumer loans: This category remained unchanged over year-end and is mainly comprised of unsecured personal lines of credit.

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 based on the performance status of the loans. 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-Substandard. 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 three primary measurements: (1) loans rated 6-Special Mention or worse (collectively “watch list”), (2) delinquent loans, and (3) net-charge-offs.,

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 totaled $9.9 million at quarter end, compared to $10.3 million at December 31, 2018. The watch list includes both performing and nonperforming loans. It is comprised entirely of loans rated 7-Substandard. Included in the substandard total are $5.3 million of nonaccrual loans. The credit composition of the watch list (loans rated 6, 7, or 8), by primary collateral is shown in Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements.

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 6 in the accompanying financial statements for a table 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.

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 and all credits rated 7-Substandard 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. However, in certain instances, the Bank may make a loan that exceeds the supervisory loan-to-value limit . At June 30, 2019 the Bank had loans of $18.3 million (1.9% of gross loans) that exceeded the supervisory limit, the same percentage as at year -end 2018.

Loan quality has declined slightly since year-end 2018, as measured by the balance of nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans increased $3.0 million from year-end 2018 as one commercial real estate credit (current balance of $3.2 million) moved from 60-89 days past due to nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2019. Potential problem loans, defined as watch list loans less loans on nonaccrual or past due more than 90 days declined to $4.2 million at June 30, 2019 compared to $7.6 million at December 31, 2018 as a result of the commercial real estate loan moving to nonaccrual.

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 (excluding consumer purpose loans) and TDR loans are considered impaired.

A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring 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, re-amortization of the payment, or a combination of multiple concessions. The Bank reviews all loans rated 6-Special Mention or worse when it is providing a loan restructure, modification 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.

In accordance with financial accounting standards, TDR loans are always considered impaired until they are paid off or in certain circumstances, refinanced. However, an impaired TDR loan can be a performing loan. Impaired loans increased to $14.4 million at quarter-end compared to $11.9 million at year-end 2018, primarily from the new nonaccrual loan previously discussed.

Allowance for Loan Losses:

Management monitors loan performance on a monthly basis and 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. 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-Special Mention or worse, and obtains a new appraisal or asset valuation for any placed on nonaccrual and 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, 2019 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 three components; specific, general and unallocated. 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. However, it is possible that as a result of the credit analysis, a specific reserve is not required for an impaired loan. For impaired 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. These loans totaled $749 thousand at June 30, 2019 and are comprised primarily of loans secured by residential real estate. Management does not believe that excluding these loans from the specific reserve analysis presents any additional risk. There was no specific reserve established for any of the impaired loans. Note 6 of 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 segments 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. Each segment may be further segregated by type of collateral, lien position, or owner/nonowner occupied properties. The quantitative analysis uses the Bank’s twenty quarter rolling historical loan loss experience as determined for each loan segment to determine a loss factor applicable to each loan segment. The qualitative analysis utilizes a risk matrix that incorporates four primary risk factors: economic conditions, delinquency, classified loans, and level of risk, and assigns a risk level (as measured in basis points) to each factor. In determining the risk level for these primary factors, consideration is given to operational factors such as: loan volume, management, loan review process, credit concentrations, competition, and legal and regulatory issues. The level of risk (as measured in basis points) for each primary factor is set for five risk levels ranging from minimal risk to very high risk and is determined independently for commercial loans, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

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

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 nonaccrual and a risk rating of 7-Substandard 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. We believe this practice complies with the regulatory guidance.

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.

The allocation of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and is not intended to imply limitations on the usage of the allowance. The entire allowance is available to absorb any losses without regard to the category in which the loan is classified.

The following table shows the ALL and charge-off ratios for the periods ended:

Other Real Estate Owned:

The Bank holds $2.7 million of other real estate owned (OREO), comprised of two properties. The most significant OREO holding is one property carried at $2.6 million (97% of total OREO) that is secured by 196 acres of land intended for residential real estate development. The Bank has a contract on the property that is expected to settle in 2019 with no loss to the Bank. During 2019, the expense to hold and maintain OREO was $5 thousand. Note 8 of the accompanying financial statements provides additional information on activity in OREO.

Deposits:

Total deposits in creased $ 30.4 million during the first six months of 2019 to $1. 113 billion. Non-interest bearing deposits decreased $ 7.0 million (primarily in commercial checking deposits) and interest-bearing checking deposits r em ained flat , while time deposits increased $2 4 . 4 million. Interest bearing checking inc reased by $ 25.7 million, primarily in commercial depo sits while t he Bank’s Money Management product de creased $ 30 . 3 million , primarily in retail accounts as customers moved funds to higher rate time deposits . T ime deposits in creased since year-end from CD promotions .

As of June 30, 2019 , the Bank had $1 83 . 4 million placed in the ICS program ($1 41 . 1 million in interesting-bearing checking and $4 2 . 3 million in money management) and $3. 2 million in reciprocal time deposits in the CDARS program included in time deposits. These programs allow the Bank to offer full FDIC coverage to large depositors, but with the convenience to the customer of only having to deal with one bank. The Bank solicits these deposits from within its market and it believes they present no greater risk than any other local deposit.

Borrowings:

The Corporation had no short-term borrowings at June 3 0 , 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Shareholders’ Equity:

Total shareholders’ equity increased $ 5 . 5 million to $12 3 . 9 million at June 30, 2019 , from $118.4 million at the end of 2018. The Corporation’s net earnings of $ 7 . 2 million were partially offset by the cash dividend of $ 2 . 5 million. The Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) added $ 322 thousand in new capital from optional cash contributions and $ 400 thousand from the reinvestment of quarterly dividends. The Corporation’s dividend payout ratio was 3 4 . 75 % for the first six months of 2019.

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. For the first half of 2019, the Corporation paid a $0. 5 7 per share

dividend, compared to $0. 51 paid in the first half of 2018. On July 1 1 , 2019 the Board of Directors declared a $0.30 p er share regular quarterly dividend for the third quarter of 2019, which will be paid on August 2 8 , 2019.

On December 20, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized the 2018 Repurchase Plan for the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of the Corporation’s $1.00 par value common stock at market prices in open market or privately negotiated transactions beginning December 21, 2018 and continuing through December 21, 2019. During the first half months of 2019, 54 , 15 3 shares were repurchased. No shares were repurchased in the first half of 2018. The 2017 Repurchase Plan expired on September 30, 2018.

In July 2013, Federal banking regulators approved the final rules from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for the regulation of capital requirements for bank holding companies and U.S banks, generally referred to as “Basel III.” The Basel III standards were effective for the Corporation and the Bank, effective January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Basel III imposes significantly higher capital requirements and more restrictive leverage and liquidity ratios than those previously in place. The capital ratios to be considered “well capitalized” under Basel III are: (1) Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) of 6.5%, (2) Tier 1 Leverage of 5%, (3) Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital of 8%, and (4) Total Risk-Based Capital of 10%. The CET1 ratio is a new capital ratio under Basel III and the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8% has been increased from 6% . The rules also include changes in the risk weights of certain assets to better reflect credit and other risk exposures. In addition, a capital conservation buffer w as phased-in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% , 1.25% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018 and 2.50% for 2019 and thereafter. The capital conservation buffer will be applicable to all of the capital ratios except for the Tier1 Leverage ratio. The capital conservation buffer is equal to the lowest value of the three applicable capital ratios less the regulatory minimum for each respective capital measurement. The Bank’s capital conservation buffer at June 30, 2019 was 7 . 1 9% (total risk-based capital 1 5 . 1 9% less 8.00%) compared to the 2018 regulatory buffer of 2.50%. Compliance with the capital conservation buffer is required in order to avoid limitations to certain capital distributions and is in addition to the Basel III capital requirements . As of June 30, 2019 , the Bank was “well capitalized” under the Basel III requirements and believes it would be “well capitalized” on a fully-phased in basis had such a requirement been in effect.

The following table summarizes the Basel III regulatory capital requirements and results as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for the Corporation and the Bank:

Economy

The Corporation’s primary market area includes Franklin, Fulto n, Cumberland and Huntingdon Counties, Pennsylvania. This area is diverse in demographic and economic makeup. County populations range from a low of approximately 1 5 ,000 in Fulton County to over 2 49, 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 2 . 4 % in Cumberland County to 4 . 0 % 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 S outh C entral P A 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 or business and Management believes that the Bank’s primary market area continues to be well suited for growth.

The following provides selected economic data for the Bank’s primary market:

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. At its July 31, 2019 meeting, the FOMC lowered the Fed Funds rate by .25%. There were two dissenting votes against the rate cut. The FOMC statement regarding future rate adjustments will take into account a wide range of information, including labor market conditions, inflation expectations and inter national developments. With this cut by the FOMC, the prime lending rate charged by banks is expected to be lowered.

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 the measurements 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 helps 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 unencumbered (approximately $69.5 million fair value) 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. The Bank also has access to other wholesale funding via the brokered CD market.

The FHLB system has always been a major funding source for community banks. The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB at June 30, 2019 was $371.9 million with $371.9 million available to borrow. There are no indicators that lead the Bank to believe the FHLB would discontinue its lending function or restrict the Bank’s ability to borrow. If either of these events would occur, it would have a negative effect on the Bank and it is unlikely that the Bank could replace the level of FHLB funding in a short time.

The Bank has established credit at the Federal Reserve Discount Window and as of quarter-end had the ability to borrow approximately $17.1 million . The Bank also has a $6.0 million unsecured line of credit at a correspondent bank.

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 $ 354.1 m illion and $271.7 million, respectively, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Bank established a $2.4 million allowance against letters of credit issued in connection with a commercial borrower (related to the loan participation that was initially reported in our current report on Form 8-K filed May 31, 2018) that declared bankruptcy , as the result of internal fraud, in the second quarter of 2018 which remains at June 3 0 , 2019.

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 2018 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 30, 2019 . For more information on market risk refer to the Corporation’s 2018 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 30, 2019 , 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. There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 , that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

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.

Part II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The nature of the Corporation’s business generates a certain amount of litigation. In management’s opinion, there are no proceedings pending to which the Corporation is a party or to which its property is subject which, if determined adversely to the Corporation, would be material. No material proceedings are pending or are known to be threatened or contemplated against us by any governmental authorities.

As described in our current report on Form 8-K filed on August 3, 2018, the court entered an order on July 31, 2018 granting final approval of the settlement agreements in the Kalan et al. v. Farmers and Merchants Trust Company of Chambersburg, et al. (Case No. 2:15-CV-01435-WB) case filed against F&M Trust in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in March, 2015 and described in our current reports on Form 8-K filed July 29, 2016, July 28, 2017, November 3, 2017, January 2, 2018, April 13, 2018, May 7, 2018 and August 3, 2018. Among other things, the order also dismissed the case against F&M Trust with prejudice; certified the settlement class; and, permanently enjoined the named plaintiffs and the members of the settlement class from asserting any further claims arising out of or related to the claims alleged or that could have been alleged in the case against F&M Trust. The settlement agreements provide for the Bank to make a settlement payment of $10 .0 million in full and final settlement of all such claims. The settlement agreements further provide for general releases by all parties. F&M Trust made the settlement payment in May, 2018, in accordance with the court’s earlier order preliminarily approving the settlement agreements. The Corporation previously accrued the $10 .0 million settlement payment as an expense for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes in the Corporation’s risk factors during the six months ended June 30, 2019 . For more information, refer to the Corporation’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
