Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Norwood Financial Corp. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank (Bank) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp., Norwood Settlement Services, LLC, and WTRO Properties, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or any other future interim period.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2015.

2. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share.

(in thousands)

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2016		2015
Weighted average shares outstanding		3,700		3,680
Less: Unvested restricted shares		14		-
Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,686		3,680


Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,686		3,680
Add: Dilutive effect of stock options		4		6
Diluted EPS weighted average shares outstanding		3,690		3,686

Stock options with strike prices ranging from $27.55 to $29.08 which had no intrinsic value, because their effect would be anti-dilutive and therefore would not be included in the diluted EPS calculation, were 75,574 as of March 31, 2016 based upon the closing price of Norwood common stock of $27.36 per share on March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2015 there were 49,700 stock options with strike prices ranging from $28.41 to $29.08 which were anti-dilutive based on the closing price of Norwood stock of $27.69 on March 31, 2015.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

No awards were granted during the three month period ending March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, there was $53,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted in 2015 under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, which will be fully amortized by December 31, 2016. Compensation costs related to stock options amounted to $18,000 and $17,000 during the three-months periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

A summary of stock options from all plans, adjusted for stock dividends declared, is shown below.



		Weighted
		Average Exercise		Weighted Average		Aggregate
		Price		Remaining		Intrinsic Value
	Options	Per Share		Contractual Term		($000)

Outstanding at January 1, 2016	194,521	$	26.91	5.2	Yrs.	$	363

Outstanding at March 31, 2016	190,321	$	26.91	4.9	Yrs.	$	164

Exercisable at March 31, 2016	175,821	$	26.78	4.5	Yrs.	$	164

Intrinsic value represents the amount by which the market price of the stock on the measurement date exceeded the exercise price of the option. The stock price was $27.36 as of March 31, 2016 and $28.75 as of December 31, 2015.

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity and related information for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 is as follows:



			Weighted-Average
	Number of		Grant Date
	Restricted Stock		Fair Value
Outstanding, January 1, 2016	13,810	$	28.82
Granted	-		-
Vested	-		-
Forfeited	-		-
Non-vested at March 31, 2016	13,810	$	28.82

The expected future compensation expense relating to the 13,810 shares of non-vested restricted stock outstanding as of March 31, 2016 is $376,000. This cost will be recognized over the remaining vesting period

of 4.75 years. Compensation costs related to restricted stock amounted to $22,000 and $14,000 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

5. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Guarantees

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

A summary of the Bank’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

(in thousands)	March 31,
	2016			2015

Commitments to grant loans		$	20,803		$	25,951
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit			49,644			48,873
Standby letters of credit			5,321			5,776
		$	75,768		$	80,600

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 and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate.

The Bank does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written 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. 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 current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2016 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

At March 31, 2016, the Company has 12 debt securities in an unrealized loss position in the less than twelve months category and 19 debt securities in the twelve months or more category. In Management’s opinion the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. No other-than-temporary-impairment charges were recorded in 2016. Management believes that all unrealized losses represent temporary impairment of the securities as the Company does not have the intent to sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of its cost basis.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of March 31, 2016 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015

Outstanding Balance	$	482	$	498
Carrying Amount	$	482	$	498

There were no material increases or decreases in the expected cash flows of these loans since the acquisition date. Since December 31, 2014, for loans that were acquired with or without specific evidence of deterioration in credit quality, adjustments to the allowance for loan losses have been accounted for through the allowance for loan loss adequacy calculation.

The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential impaired loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type and market value of collateral and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan loss allowances are established for identified losses based on a review of such information. A loan evaluated for impairment is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probably that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. We do not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are part of a larger relationship that is impaired, or are classified as a troubled debt restructuring.

A loan is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loan when the Company grants a concession to the borrower because of the borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider. Such concessions include the reduction of interest rates, forgiveness of principal or interest, or other modifications of interest rates that are less than the current market rate for new obligations with similar risk.

Foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell and are included in foreclosed real estate owned on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, foreclosed real estate owned totaled $2,855,000 and $2,847,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, included within foreclosed real estate owned is $345,000 of consumer residential mortgages that were foreclosed on or received via a deed in lieu transaction prior to the period end. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has initiated formal foreclosure proceedings on $95,000 of consumer residential mortgages.

The following table shows the amount of loans in each category that were individually and collectively evaluated for impairment at the dates indicated:

Troubled debt restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, who could not obtain comparable terms from alternate financing sources. As of March 31, 2016, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $6.5 million and resulted in specific reserves of $1,641,000. As of December 31, 2015, troubled debt restructured loans totaled $6.8 million and resulted in specific reserves of $1,613,000. For the period ended March 31, 2016, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. During 2016, the Company recognized a write-down of $100,000 on a loan that was previously identified as troubled debt restructurings with a carrying value of $432,000 as of March 31, 2016.

For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no new loans identified as troubled debt restructures. During the 2015 period, the Company recognized write-downs in the amount of $373,000 on two loans previously identified as troubled debt restructures with a carrying value of $2.4 million as of March 31, 2015.

Management uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as non performance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. Loan Review also annually reviews relationships of $1,000,000 and over to assign or re-affirm risk ratings. Loans in the Substandard categories that are collectively evaluated for impairment are given separate consideration in the determination of the allowance.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss within the internal risk rating system as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

The Company’s primary business activity as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is with customers located in northeastern Pennsylvania. Accordingly, the Company has extended credit primarily to commercial entities and individuals in this area whose ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company considered its concentration of credit risk to be acceptable. The highest concentrations are in the hospitality/lodging industry with loans outstanding of $66.5 million, or 11.7% of loans outstanding. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, there were no write downs in the named concentrations.

Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of residential mortgage loans were $32,000 and $0, respectively, in the first three months of 2016 compared to $24,000 and $0, respectively, in the same period in 2015. The proceeds from the sales of residential mortgage loans totaled $1.0 million and $804,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices, if available, quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities, or the present value of expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. These valuations are significantly affected by discount rates, cash flow assumptions and risk assumptions used. Therefore, fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not intended to reflect the proceeds that may be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

Fair value is determined at one point in time and is not representative of future value. These amounts do not reflect the total value of a going concern organization. Management does not have the intention to dispose of a significant portion of its assets and liabilities and therefore, the unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings and cash flows.

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and valuation techniques applied:

Securities:

(Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments, if applicable.

Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):

The Company measures impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Foreclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value):

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included in Level 3 fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

December 31, 2015
Impaired loans	$	2,574	Appraisal of collateral(1)	Appraisal adjustments(2)	10% (10%)

Impaired loans	$	5,041	Present value of future cash flows	Loan discount rate	4-7% (5.61%)

Foreclosed real estate owned	$	2,847	Appraisal of collateral(1)	Liquidation Expenses(2)	10%

(1)	Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable, less any associated allowance.

(2)	Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’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 Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Cash and cash equivalents (carried at cost):

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.

Securities:

The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments, if applicable.

Loans receivable (carried at cost):

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal.

Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value):

As of March 31, 2016, the fair value investment in impaired loans totaled $6,988,000 which included four loans for $5,698,000 for which a valuation allowance of $1,644,000 had been provided based on the estimated value of the collateral or the present value of estimated cash flows, and thirteen loans for $2,934,000 which did not require a valuation allowance since the estimated realizable value of the collateral exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans in the amount of $1,902,000 over the life of the loans.

As of December 31, 2015, the fair value investment in impaired loans totaled $7,615,000 which included three loans for $6,373,000 for which a valuation allowance of $1,613,000 had been provided based on the estimated value of the collateral or the present value of estimated cash flows, and seventeen loans for $2,855,000 which did not require a valuation allowance since the estimated realizable value of the collateral exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had recognized charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses on these impaired loans in the amount of $2,044,000 over the life of the loans.

Mortgage servicing rights (generally carried at cost)

The Company utilizes a third party provider to estimate the fair value of certain loan servicing rights. Fair value for the purpose of this measurement is defined as the amount at which the asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.

Foreclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value):

Regulatory stock (carried at cost):

The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This regulatory stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Bank owned life insurance (carried at cost):

The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the Bank owned life insurance.

Accrued interest receivable and payable (carried at cost):

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Deposit liabilities (carried at cost except certificates of deposit which are at fair value):

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted

cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term borrowings (carried at cost):

The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

Other borrowings (carried at cost):

Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments (disclosed at cost):

Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

The estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments were as follows at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. (In thousands)

9. New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting Update.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). The amendments in this Update provide guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) , as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those

fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. An entity should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contract with Customers ( Topic 606 ). The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting Update.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . The amendments in this Update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The amendments in this Update may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (g) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (h) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the

amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which: (a) the lease term is 12 months or less, and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) . The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities for which there is a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a heading instrument under Topic 815 . The standards in this Update clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815 does not, in and of itself, require designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. An entity has an option to apply the amendments in this Update on either a prospective basis or a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) . The amendments apply to all entities that are issuers of or investors in debt instruments (or hybrid financial instruments that are determined to have a debt host) with embedded call (put) options. The amendments in this update clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt host. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this Update is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) . The Update affects all entities that have an investment that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. The amendments in this Update eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor's previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. The amendments in this Update require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Earlier application is permitted. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) . The amendments in this Update affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The standards in this Update provide simplification for several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as with equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. In addition to those simplifications, the amendments eliminate the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment . This should not result in a change in practice because the guidance that is being superseded was never effective. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

10. Proposed Acquisition of Delaware Bancshares, Inc.

On March 10, 2016, Norwood Financial Corp. (“Norwood Financial”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wayne Bank, and Delaware Bancshares, Inc. (“Delaware Bancshares”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, The National Bank of Delaware County (“NBDC Bank”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Delaware Bancshares will merge with and into Norwood Financial, with Norwood Financial as the surviving corporation. Concurrent with the merger, it is expected that NBDC Bank will merge with and into Wayne Bank.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Delaware Bancshares common stock will be converted into either the right to receive $16.68 in cash or 0.6221 shares of Norwood Financial common stock. Not more than 25% of the outstanding shares of Delaware Bancshares common stock (including for this purpose, dissenters’ shares) may be paid in cash and the remainder will be paid in Norwood Financial common stock. In the event of a greater than 20% decline in market value of Norwood Financial common stock, Delaware Bancshares may, in certain circumstances, be able to terminate the Merger Agreement

unless Norwood Financial increases the number of shares into which Delaware Bancshares common stock may be converted.

The senior management of Norwood Financial and Wayne Bank will remain the same following the merger. The directors of NBDC Bank will be invited to join newly formed regional advisory board. Within 18 months of the merger, Norwood Financial and Wayne Bank will invite one member of the advisory board to join their boards.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and approval by the shareholders of Delaware Bancshares. The merger is currently expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2016.

Each of the directors and executive officers of Delaware Bancshares have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement at the shareholders’ meeting to be held to vote on the proposed transaction. If the merger is not consummated under certain circumstances, Delaware Bancshares has agreed to pay Norwood Financial a termination fee of $615,000.

The Merger Agreement also contains usual and customary representations and warranties that Norwood Financial and Delaware Bancshares made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract between Norwood Financial and Delaware Bancshares, and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating its terms. Moreover, the representations and warranties are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to shareholders, and the representations and warranties may have been used to allocate risk between Norwood Financial and Delaware Bancshares rather than establishing matters as facts.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 (incorporated by reference in Item 8 of the Form 10-K) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of its financial statements. This discussion and analysis, the significant accounting policies, and other financial statement disclosures identify and address key variables and other qualitative and quantitative factors that are necessary for an understanding and evaluation of the Company and its results of operations.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the fair value of financial instruments, the determination of goodwill impairment and the determination of other-than-temporary impairment on securities. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses calculation under “Loans” in the “Changes in Financial Condition” section.

The Company uses the modified prospective transition method to account for stock options. Under this method companies are required to record compensation expense, based on the fair value of options over the vesting period. Restricted shares vest over a five year period. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determines the fair value of restricted stock.

Deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in the recognition of the revenue and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes, principally because certain items are recognized in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. Although realization is not assured, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the security.

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each Consolidated Balance Sheet date.

Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-

temporary impairment losses, the Company considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent of the Company to not sell the securities and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis. The Company believes that the unrealized loss on all other securities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 represent temporary impairment of the securities, related to changes in interest rates.

The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This restricted stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.

Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.

Management considered that the FHLB’s regulatory capital ratios have increased from prior years, liquidity appears adequate, and the new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value. Management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to FHLB stock as of March 31, 2016.

In connection with the acquisition of North Penn Bancorp, Inc. (“North Penn”), the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $9.7 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of net assets of the institution acquired in a purchase transaction, at its fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested and deemed impaired when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The value of the goodwill can change in the future. We expect the value of the goodwill to decrease if there is a significant decrease in the franchise value of the Company or the Bank. If an impairment loss is determined in the future, we will reflect the loss as an expense for the period in which the impairment is determined, leading to a reduction of our net income for that period by the amount of the impairment loss.

Changes in Financial Condition

General

Total assets as of March 31, 2016 were $760.1 million compared to $750.5 million as of December 31, 2015, an increase of $9.6 million due primarily to an increase of $5.9 million in loans receivable and a $5.1 million increase in investment securities.

Securities

The fair value of securities available for sale as of March 31, 2016 was $143.9 million compared to $138.8 million as of December 31, 2015. The Company purchased $22.0 million of securities principally using the proceeds from $18.7 million of sales, calls, maturities and principal reductions of securities.

The carrying value of the Company’s securities portfolio (Available-for Sale) consisted of the following:

Total	$	143,948		100.0	%	$	138,851		100.0	%

The Company has securities in an unrealized loss position. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. Management believes that the unrealized losses on all holdings represent temporary impairment of the securities, as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until maturity or market price recovery.

Loans

Loans receivable totaled $565.8 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $559.9 million as of December 31, 2015. The $5.9 million increase recorded in the three-month period ending March 31, 2016 was attributed to a $3.2 million increase in consumer loans and a $2.5 million increase in commercial real estate loans. Other commercial loans increased $1.9 million during the period while residential mortgage loans decreased $1.8 million due partially to the sale of $1.0 million.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $7,642,000 as of March 31, 2016 and represented 1.35% of total loans outstanding, compared to $7,298,000, or 1.30% of total loans, at December 31, 2015, and $6,007,000, or 1.16% of total loans, as of March 31, 2015. The Company had net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 of $106,000 compared to $488,000 in the corresponding period in 2015. The Company’s loan review process assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The process includes an analysis of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. It includes an analysis of impaired loans and a historical review of credit losses by loan type. Other factors considered include: concentration of credit in specific industries, economic and industry conditions, trends in delinquencies and loan classifications, large dollar exposures and loan growth. Management considers the allowance adequate at March 31, 2016 based on the Company’s criteria. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover significant losses, if any, that might be incurred in the future.

As of March 31, 2016, non-performing loans totaled $6.9 million, or 1.21% of total loans compared to $7.1 million, or 1.27% of total loans at December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, non-performing assets totaled $9.7 million, or 1.28%, of total assets compared to $10.0 million, or 1.33%, of total assets at December 31, 2015. The decrease in non-performing assets principally reflects payments and write-downs on loans carried in nonaccrual assets.

The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate at the dates indicated:

Borrowings

Short-term borrowings as of March 31, 2016 totaled $52.7 million compared to $53.2 million as of December 31, 2015. Short-term borrowings, which consist of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and overnight borrowings from the FHLB, decreased $500,000 due to a reduction in overnight borrowings.

Other borrowings consisted of the following:

Amortizing fixed rate borrowing due March 2022 at 1.748%		5,187		5,392
	$	38,856	$	41,126

The convertible note contains an option which allows the FHLB, at quarterly intervals to change the note to an adjustable-rate advance at three month LIBOR plus 17 basis points. If the note is converted, the option allows the Bank to put the funds back to the FHLB at no charge.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

A summary of the contractual amount of the Company’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:

(in thousands)
	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015

Commitments to grant loans	$	20,803	$	19,704

Stockholders’ Equity and Capital Ratios

As of March 31, 2016, stockholders’ equity totaled $102.7 million, compared to $101.0 million as of December 31, 2015. The net change in stockholders’ equity included $1.9 million of net income that was partially offset by $1.1 million of dividends declared, a $447,000 reduction due to an increase in Treasury Stock, and a $125,000 increase due to the exercise and vesting of stock options. In addition, total equity increased $1.3 million due to an increase in the fair value of securities in the available for sale portfolio, net of

tax. This increase in fair value is the result of a change in interest rates and spreads, which may impact the value of the securities. Because of interest rate volatility, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim and year-end period.

A comparison of the Company’s consolidated regulatory capital ratios is as follows:

	March 31, 2016	December 31, 2015
Tier 1 Capital
(To average assets)	12.27%	12.40%
Tier 1 Capital
(To risk-weighted assets)	15.74%	15.86%
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital
(To risk-weighted assets)	15.74%	15.86%
Total Capital
(To risk-weighted assets)	16.99%	17.09%

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank became subject to new regulatory capital rules, which, among other things, impose a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), set the minimum leverage ratio for all banking organizations at a uniform 4% of total assets, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assign a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The new rules also require unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt out is exercised which the Company and the Bank have done. The final rule limits a banking organization’s dividends, stock repurchases and other capital distributions, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above regulatory minimum risk-based requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective. The Company and the Bank are in compliance with their respective new capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, as of March 31, 2016.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.0 million in the form of cash, due from banks and short-term deposits with other institutions. In addition, the Company had total securities available for sale of $143.9 million which could be used for liquidity needs. This totals $152.9 million of liquidity and represents 20.1% of total assets compared to $148.9 million and 19.8% of total assets as of December 31, 2015. The Company also monitors other liquidity measures, all of which were within the Company’s policy guidelines as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Based upon these measures, the Company believes its liquidity is adequate.

Capital Resources

The Company has a line of credit commitment from Atlantic Community Bankers Bank for $7,000,000 which expires June 30, 2016. There were no borrowings under this line as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The Company has a line of credit commitment available which has no stated expiration date from PNC Bank for $16,000,000. There were no borrowings under this line as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The Company has a line of credit commitment available which has no stated expiration date from Zions Bank for $17,000,000. There were no borrowings under this line as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The Bank’s maximum borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was approximately $293,036,000 as of March 31, 2016, of which $54,480,000 and $60,798,000 was outstanding at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains or references fully taxable-equivalent (fte) interest income and net interest income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) are derived from GAAP interest income and net interest income using an assumed tax rate of 34%. We believe the presentation of interest income (fte) and net interest income (fte) ensures comparability of interest income and net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. Net interest income (fte) is reconciled to GAAP net interest income on page 40. Although the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP measures.

Comparison of Operating Results for The Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2015

General

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net income totaled $1,876,000 compared to $2,041,000 earned in the similar period in 2015. The decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was due primarily to a $132,000 decrease in net interest income and a $247,000 decrease in gains on the sale of securities. Earnings per share for the current period were $.51 per share for basic and fully diluted compared to $.55 per share for basic and fully diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The resulting annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 1.00% and 7.33%, respectively, compared to 1.15% and 8.22%, respectively, for the similar period in 2015.

The following table sets forth changes in net income:

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (fte) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $6,534,000 which was $68,000 lower than the comparable period in 2015. The decrease in net interest income largely reflects a $66,000 increase in interest expense related to other borrowings that were secured to manage interest rate risk. The fte net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.55% and 3.70%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 3.79% and 3.94%, respectively, for the similar period in 2015.

Interest income (fte) totaled $7,385,000 with a yield on average earning assets of 4.18% compared to $7,383,000 and 4.40% for the 2015 period. Average loans increased $58.4 million over the comparable period of last year but the yield earned declined forty basis points, resulting in a $139,000 increase in fte loan income. Average earning assets totaled $706.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $35.5 million over the average for the similar period in 2015.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $851,000 at an average cost of 0.63% compared to $781,000 and 0.61% for the similar period in 2015. The cost of time deposits, which is the most significant component of funding, increased to 1.00% from 0.95% for the similar period in the prior year. As time deposits matured, they repriced at the current market rates resulting in the increase.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $450,000 compared to $620,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company makes provisions for loan losses in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an acceptable level. Net charge-offs were $106,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to $488,000 for the similar period in 2015.

Other Income

Other income totaled $1,067,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1,279,000 for the similar period in 2015. Net gains from the sale of loans and securities decreased $235,000 compared to the same period of 2015. The reduction in securities gains reflects the sales of securities for interest-rate risk management with minimal gains. All other items of other income increased $23,000, net, compared to the same period of last year.

Other Expense

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $4,349,000 which was $162,000 higher than the same period of 2015. Salaries and employee benefit costs increased $166,000 due to staffing adjustments and increased health care costs. Foreclosed real estate costs decreased $127,000, while all other operating expenses increased $123,000, net.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $567,000 for an effective tax rate of 23.2% for the period ending March 31, 2016 compared to $738,000 for an effective tax rate of 26.6% for the similar period in 2015. The reduction in the effective tax rate reflects an increase in the level of tax-exempt income.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

Interest rate sensitivity and the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities are managed by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO). The principal objective of ALCO is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of risk, which are established by policy. Interest rate risk is monitored and managed by using financial modeling techniques to measure the impact of changes in interest rates.

Net interest income, which is the primary source of the Company’s earnings, is impacted by changes in interest rates and the relationship of different interest rates. To manage the impact of the rate changes, the balance sheet must be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities at approximately the same time intervals. The Company uses net interest simulation to assist in interest rate risk management. The process includes simulating various interest rate environments and their impact on net interest income. As of March 31, 2016, the level of net interest income at risk in a ±200 basis point change in interest rates was within the Company’s policy limits. The Company’s policy allows for a decline of no more than 8% of net interest income for a ± 200 basis point shift in interest rates.

Imbalance in repricing opportunities at a given point in time reflects interest-sensitivity gaps measured as the difference between rate-sensitive assets (RSA) and rate-sensitive liabilities (RSL). These are static gap measurements that do not take into account any future activity, and as such are principally used as early indications of potential interest rate exposures over specific intervals.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a positive 90-day interest sensitivity gap of $35.8 million or 4.7% of total assets, compared to the $38.8 million or 5.2% of total assets as of December 31, 2015. Rate sensitive assets repricing within 90 days decreased $6.4 million due primarily to a $7.0 million decrease in loans. Rate sensitive liabilities decreased $3.3 million since year end due primarily to a $3.5 million decrease in borrowed funds repricing within three months. A positive gap means that rate-sensitive assets are greater than rate-sensitive liabilities at the time interval. This would indicate that in a rising rate environment, the yield on interest-earning assets could increase faster than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the 90-day time frame. The repricing intervals are managed by ALCO strategies, including adjusting the average life of the investment portfolio, pricing of deposit liabilities to attract longer term time deposits, loan pricing to encourage variable rate products and evaluation of loan sales of long-term fixed rate mortgages.

Certain interest-bearing deposits with no stated maturity dates are included in the interest-sensitivity table below. The balances allocated to the respective time periods represent an estimate of the total outstanding balance that has the potential to migrate through withdrawal or transfer to time deposits, thereby impacting the interest-sensitivity position of the Company. The estimates were derived from industry-wide statistical information and do not represent historical results.
