### Executive Summary

The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation and a bank holding company, whose wholly-owned state chartered commercial bank is The Fidelity Deposit and Discount Bank. The Company is headquartered in Dunmore, Pennsylvania. We consider Lackawanna, Northampton and Luzerne Counties our primary marketplace.

As a leading Northeastern Pennsylvania community bank, our goals are to enhance shareholder value while continuing to build a full-service community bank. We focus on growing our core business of retail and business lending and deposit gathering while maintaining strong asset quality and controlling operating expenses. We continue to implement strategies to diversify earning assets (see “Funds Deployed” section of this management’s discussion and analysis) and to increase low cost core deposits (see “Funds Provided” section of this management’s discussion and analysis). These strategies include a greater level of commercial lending and the ancillary business products and services supporting our commercial customers’ needs as well as residential lending strategies and an array of consumer products. We focus on developing a full banking relationship with existing, as well as new business prospects. In addition, we explore opportunities to selectively expand our franchise footprint, consisting presently of our 21-branch network. The Company remains committed to selectively expanding branch banking and wealth management locations in Northeastern and Eastern Pennsylvania as opportunities arrive going forward.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a coronavirus, identified as COVID-19, a global pandemic. The Company began proactive initiatives in March 2020 to assist clients, Fidelity Bankers and communities impacted by the effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Management activated its established pandemic contingency plan response in March 2020 to ensure business continuity while assuring the health, safety and well-being of bankers, clients and the community. Special measures included:

Opening branch lobbies by appointment only while drive-thru locations remained open for transactions until June 15th when all branch lobbies fully reopened.

Installing proper social distancing signs and markers, to include safety barriers for both bankers and clients that encourage proper separation as recommended by the CDC.

Encouraging use of online, mobile, telephone banking, night drop and ATMs to meet clients’ banking needs.

Adding resources to the Customer Care Center to manage increased call and chat volume.

Activating telecommunications capabilities to enable Fidelity Bankers to work-from-home, as appropriate.

Providing Fidelity Bankers personal protective equipment and disinfectant supplies when working on-site.

Scheduling in-person meetings by appointment only, observing the guidelines of social distancing and personal safety as recommended by health and safety officials.

Enhancing EPA approved cleaning and disinfecting protocols implemented at all locations, including utilizing ionization machines when required.

Increasing the fresh air intake and using anti-viral filters in all HVAC units, above OSHA regulations.

Conducting meetings virtually, including the Special and Annual Shareholder Meetings.

The Company incurred approximately $0.2 million in non-interest expenses during the first half of 2020 to implement programs and provide supplies and services in order to respond to the pandemic.

We are impacted by both national and regional economic factors, with commercial, commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans concentrated in Northeastern Pennsylvania, primarily in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, and Eastern Pennsylvania, primarily Northampton County. The U.S. economy may fall into a recession and our local market area remains challenging due to the impact of the pandemic. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) had been adjusting the short-term federal funds rate up for over three years ending in the first half of 2019. The FOMC lowered the federal funds rate 75 basis points during the second half of 2019 followed by 150 basis point drop in the first quarter of 2020. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national unemployment rate for June 2020 was 11.1%, up 7.6 percentage points from December 2019. The unemployment rate in Scranton - Wilkes-Barre and the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan Statistical Areas (local) increased during the first six months of 2020 as well and continued to lag behind the unemployment rates of the state and nation. The local unemployment rates at June 30, 2020 were 15.3% and 13.9%, respectively, an increase of 9.7 and 9.4 percentage points from the 5.6% and 4.5%, respectively, at December 31, 2019. The national and local unemployment rates have risen as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in unemployment and business restrictions has had an effect on spending in our market area and high unemployment is expected to continue for a few months. In light of these expectations, we will continue to monitor the economic climate in our region and scrutinize growth prospects with credit quality as a principal consideration.

In addition on May 1, 2020, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of MNB Corporation (“MNB”). The merger expands the Company’s full-service footprint into Northampton County, PA and the Lehigh Valley. While $2.2 million in costs were incurred during the first half of 2020, non-recurring costs to facilitate the merger and integrate systems during the remainder of 2020 are currently estimated to be $0.2 million.

Non-recurring merger-related costs and a FHLB prepayment penalty incurred during the first half of 2020 are not a part of the Company’s normal operations. If these expenses had not occurred, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 would have been $2.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) would have been $0.48 and $1.21 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. For the same time periods, adjusted ROA (non-GAAP) would have been 0.58% and 0.81%, respectively, and adjusted ROE (non-GAAP) would have been 6.25% and 8.18%, respectively.

For the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, tangible common book value per share (non-GAAP) was $29.77 and $26.77, respectively. These non-GAAP measures should be reviewed in connection with the reconciliation of these non-GAAP ratios. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” located below within this management’s discussion and analysis.

Our efforts and focus continue on building relationships concentrating on loans, deposits, wealth management, business services and retail opportunities with clients and prospects with the goal to exceed expectations by providing a valued service.

In addition to the challenging economic environment in which we compete, the regulation and oversight of our business has changed significantly in recent years. As described more fully in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” below, as well as Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and in the “Supervisory and Regulation” section of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our 2019 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, certain aspects of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act (Dodd-Frank Act) continue to have a significant impact on us. In addition, final rules to implement Basel III regulatory capital reform, approved by the federal bank regulatory agencies in 2013, subject many banks including the Company, to capital requirements which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 and were fully phased in on January 1, 2019. The rules also revise the minimum risk-based and leverage capital ratio requirements applicable to the Company and revise the calculation of risk-weighted assets to enhance their risk sensitivity. We will continue to prepare for the impacts of the continuing implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act and the Basel III capital standards, and related rulemaking will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

### Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following are non-GAAP financial measures which provide useful insight to the reader of the consolidated financial statements but should be supplemental to GAAP used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The Company’s tax rate used to calculate the fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) adjustment was 21% at June 30, 2020 and 2019.

The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of FTE net interest income:

### General

The Company’s earnings depend primarily on net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income is generated from yields earned on interest-earning assets, which consist principally of loans and investment securities. Interest expense is incurred from rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist of deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is determined by the Company’s interest rate spread (the difference between the yields earned on its interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate spread is significantly impacted by: changes in interest rates and market yield curves and their related impact on cash flows; the composition and characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; differences in the maturity and re-pricing characteristics of assets compared to the maturity and re-pricing characteristics of the liabilities that fund them and by the competition in the marketplace.

The Company’s earnings are also affected by the level of its non-interest income and expenses and by the provisions for loan losses and income taxes. Non-interest income mainly consists of: service charges on the Company’s loan and deposit products; interchange fees; trust and asset management service fees; increases in the cash surrender value of the bank owned life insurance and from net gains or losses from sales of loans and securities. Non-interest expense consists of: compensation and related employee benefit costs; occupancy; equipment; data processing; advertising and marketing; FDIC insurance premiums; professional fees; loan collection; net other real estate owned (ORE) expenses; supplies and other operating overhead.

### Comparison of the results of operations

### Three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

### Overview

For the second quarter of 2020, the Company generated net income of $0.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019. The $2.8 million, or 92%, decrease in net income was primarily the result of a $4.9 million rise in non-interest expenses and $1.6 million increase in the provision for loan losses partially offset by $3.0 million higher net interest income. In the year-to-date comparison, net income declined by half to $2.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the first half of 2020 from $5.8 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the first half of 2019. Higher non-interest expenses and an increase in the provision for loan losses were partially offset by higher net interest income and additional non-interest income. In the quarterly and year-to-date comparison, the increase in non-interest expenses was driven by merger-related expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of MNB along with the impact of adding the operations of MNB.

Return on average assets (ROA) was 0.07% and 1.25% for the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 0.46% and 1.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the same time periods, return on average shareholders’ equity (ROE) was 0.71% and 12.16%, respectively, and 4.63% and 12.07%, respectively. ROA and ROE both decreased due primarily to the decline in net income while average assets and shareholders’ equity grew during the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2020.

#### Net interest income and interest sensitive assets / liabilities

For the second quarter of 2020, net interest income increased $3.0 million, or 39%, to $10.8 million from $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2019. The $2.6 million growth in interest income was produced by the addition of $426.1 million in average interest-earning assets partially offset by the effect of a 59 basis point decline in FTE yield earned on those assets. The loan portfolio drove this interest income growth due to $309.9 million more in average loans, primarily from the MNB acquisition and PPP lending. On the liability side, total interest-bearing liabilities grew $356.2 million, on average, with a 56 basis point decrease in rates paid thereon. A 44 basis point decrease in rates paid on deposits offset the effect of $294.1 million higher average interest-bearing deposits resulting in $0.3 million less interest expense from deposits for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the 2019 like period. There was also $0.1 million less in interest expense on borrowings due to lower rates paid on Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) borrowings.

Net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 20%, from $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to higher interest income and lower interest expense. Total average interest-earning assets increased $234.0 million while FTE yields on these assets declined 44 basis points resulting in $2.7 million of growth in FTE interest income. In the loan portfolio, the Company experienced average balance growth of $172.9 million which had the effect of producing $2.8 million more interest income. On the liability side, total interest-bearing liabilities grew $197.3 million on average with a 37 basis point decrease in rates paid on these interest-bearing liabilities. Growth in average interest-bearing deposits of $182.7 million was offset by a 24 basis point decrease in the rates paid on deposits reducing interest expense by $0.1 million. In addition, the Company utilized $14.6 million more in average borrowings during the first half of 2020 but replaced overnight borrowings with PPPLF funding at lower rates which resulted in $0.4 million less interest expense from borrowings.

The FTE net interest rate spread decreased by 3 and 7 basis points and margin decreased by 20 and 19 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same 2019 period. The yields earned on interest-earning assets declined faster than the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities causing the decline in net interest rate spread. The overall cost of funds, which includes the impact of non-interest bearing deposits, decreased 46 and 29 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same 2019 period. The primary reason for the decline was the reduction in rates paid on deposits and borrowings compared to the same 2019 periods.

For the remainder of 2020, the Company expects to operate in a low interest rate environment. A rate environment with falling interest rates positions the Company to reduce its interest income performance from new and maturing earning assets. Until there is a sustained period of yield curve steepening, with rates rising more sharply at the long end, the interest rate margin may experience compression. The FOMC began easing the federal funds rate during the second half of 2019 and continued through the first quarter of 2020 which reduced rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. On the asset side, the prime interest rate, the benchmark rate that banks use as a base rate for adjustable rate loans was cut 75 basis points in the second half of 2019 and another 150 basis points in the first quarter of 2020. The focus for 2020 is to manage net interest income through a declining rate environment by managing interest-bearing deposit costs to maintain a reasonable spread. For the remainder of 2020, interest income growth is anticipated from new loans acquired from the MNB merger and over $4 million of fees recognized, net of origination and agent fees, from Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans which will mitigate less interest income from lower yielding assets. Management expects to actively reduce the cost of funds to partially mitigate spread compression throughout this declining rate cycle.

The Company’s cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.57% and 0.73% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, or 56 and 37 basis points lower than the cost for the same 2019 periods. The decrease resulted from a decline in the rate paid on deposits and borrowings. The FOMC is not expected to cut the federal funds rate further, but the Company has the opportunity to reduce rates paid on deposits as higher-priced promotional rates and negotiated rates reprice into products with lower rates. To help mitigate the impact of the imminent change to the economic landscape, the Company has successfully developed and will continue to strengthen its association with existing customers, develop new business relationships, generate new loan volumes, and retain and generate higher levels of average non-interest bearing deposit balances. Strategically deploying no- and low-cost deposits into interest earning-assets is an effective margin-preserving strategy that the Company expects to continue to pursue and expand to help stabilize net interest margin.

The Company’s Asset Liability Management (ALM) team meets regularly to discuss among other things, interest rate risk and when deemed necessary adjusts interest rates. ALM is actively addressing the Company's sensitivity to a declining rate environment to ensure interest rate risks are contained within acceptable levels. ALM also discusses revenue enhancing strategies to help combat the potential for a decline in net interest income. The Company’s marketing department, together with ALM, lenders and deposit gatherers, continue to develop prudent strategies that will grow the loan portfolio and accumulate low-cost deposits to improve net interest income performance.

The table that follows sets forth a comparison of average balances of assets and liabilities and their related net tax equivalent yields and rates for the periods indicated. Within the table, interest income was FTE adjusted, using the corporate federal tax rate of 21% for June 30, 2020 and 2019 to recognize the income from tax-exempt interest-earning assets as if the interest was taxable. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within this management’s discussion and analysis for the FTE adjustments. This treatment allows a uniform comparison among yields on interest-earning assets. Loans include loans held-for-sale (HFS) and non-accrual loans but exclude the allowance for loan losses. Home equity lines of credit (HELOC) are included in the residential real estate category since they are secured by real estate. Net deferred loan fee/(cost) amortization of $560 thousand and ($181 thousand) during the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $388 thousand and ($346 thousand) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are included in interest income from loans. MNB loan fair value purchase accounting adjustments of $162 thousand are included in interest income from loans and $70 thousand reduced interest expense on deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Fair value purchase accounting adjustments are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition. Average balances are based on amortized cost and do not reflect net unrealized gains or losses. Residual values for direct finance leases are included in the average balances for consumer loans. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income-FTE by total average interest-earning assets. Cost of funds includes the effect of average non-interest bearing deposits as a funding source:

Changes in net interest income are a function of both changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (1) the changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by the prior period rate), (2) the changes attributable to changes in interest rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior period volume) and (3) the net change. The combined effect of changes in both volume and rate has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate. Tax-exempt income was not converted to a tax-equivalent basis on the rate/volume analysis:

#### Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses represents the necessary amount to charge against current earnings, the purpose of which is to increase the allowance for loan losses (the allowance) to a level that represents management’s best estimate of known and inherent losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. Loans determined to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance. The required amount of the provision for loan losses, based upon the adequate level of the allowance, is subject to the ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio. The Company’s Special Assets Committee meets periodically to review problem loans. The committee is comprised of management, including credit administration officers, loan officers, loan workout officers and collection personnel. The committee reports quarterly to the Credit Administration Committee of the board of directors.

Management continuously reviews the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Specific factors used to evaluate the adequacy of the loan loss provision during the formal process include:

- specific loans that could have loss potential;
- levels of and trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans;
- levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries;
- trends in volume and terms of loans;
- changes in risk selection and underwriting standards;
- changes in lending policies and legal and regulatory requirements;
- experience, ability and depth of lending management;
- national and local economic trends and conditions; and
- changes in credit concentrations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.2 million and $510 thousand, respectively, a $1.7 million, or 331%, increase. Most, or $1.9 million, of this increase occurred during the second quarter of 2020 and reflected greater risk inherent in certain loans exposed to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The increase in the provision for loan losses from the year earlier period was primarily attributed to higher credit losses inherent within the loan portfolio as an initial result of the COVID-19 crisis. See the discussion of the qualitative factors within the “Allowance for loan losses” section of this management’s discussion and analysis. Although uncertainty over COVID’s duration and severity complicates management’s ability to render a more precise estimate of credit losses, management currently believes the level of provisioning through the second quarter was adequate based on the information that was available as of the reporting date and subsequent period up to the filing date.

The provision for loan losses derives from the reserve required from the allowance for loan losses calculation. The Company continued provisioning for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to maintain an allowance level that management deemed adequate.

For a discussion on the allowance for loan losses, see “Allowance for loan losses,” located in the comparison of financial condition section of management’s discussion and analysis contained herein.

#### Other income

For the second quarter of 2020, non-interest income amounted to $2.7 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 9%, compared to $2.5 million recorded for the same 2019 period. Heightened mortgage activity caused gains on loan sales to increase $0.3 million and service charges on loans to increase $0.1 million. Interchange fees were $0.1 million higher than the second quarter of 2019. Partially offsetting these increases, deposit service charges decreased $0.2 million primarily from less overdraft activities and mortgage servicing right amortization increased $0.1 million.

Non-interest income totaled $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $0.5 million, or 10%, from the $5.0 million recorded for the same 2019 period. Service charges on loans were up $0.3 million primarily due to service charges on mortgage loans. For the first half of 2020, gains on the sale of loans were $0.3 million higher than the first half of 2019. There were also increases in debit card interchange fees of $0.2 million and fees from trust fiduciary activities of $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by $0.2 million less financial service fees, $0.1 million higher mortgage servicing right amortization and $0.1 million lower deposit service charges.

#### Operating expenses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, total non-interest operating expenses were $11.3 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 76%, compared to $6.4 million for the same 2019 quarter. The biggest contributor to the higher expenses was merger-related expenses totaling $1.9 million, consisting mostly of professional fees, salaries and employee benefits and data processing expenses. Salary and employee benefits rose $1.6 million, or 43%, to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2020 from $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to salaries from additional employees resulting from the merger plus additional stock-based compensation expenses. Professional fees increased $0.5 million due to expenses related to the pandemic and additional audit expenses. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company incurred a $0.5 million prepayment penalty on the early payoff of FHLB advances. Premises and equipment expenses increased $0.4 million and data processing and communications expenses increased $0.4 million primarily due to expenses incurred related to the pandemic and additional expenses after acquisition. These increases were partially offset by $0.4 million more in loan origination cost deferrals associated with PPP lending and $0.1 million less in loan collection expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, non-interest expenses increased $5.4 million, or 41%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, from $13.2 million to $18.6 million. Merger-related expenses were $2.2 million higher for the first half of 2020 compared to the same 2019 period. Salaries and employee benefit expenses grew $1.8 million, or 24%. The increase stemmed from staff additions from new employees as a result of the acquisition. Professional services increased $0.6 million primarily due to pandemic related expenses and higher audit expenses. As mentioned above, the Company incurred a $0.5 million FHLB prepayment penalty during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Premises and equipment expenses increased $0.4 million, or 20%, due to higher expenses for pandemic response, depreciation and other expenses related to premises and equipment acquired from the merger. Data processing and communications expense also increased $0.4 million. Partially offsetting these increases was a $0.5 million reduction in other expenses due to higher loan origination cost deferrals from PPP lending and $0.1 million less loan collection expenses.

The ratios of non-interest expense less non-interest income to average assets, known as the expense ratio, were 2.08% and 1.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The expense ratio increased because of higher expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same 2019 period. The efficiency ratio increased from 62.82% at June 30, 2019 to 75.37% at June 30, 2020 due to the increase in non-interest expenses. For more information on the calculation of the efficiency ratio, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” located within this management’s discussion and analysis.

#### Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same 2019 period due to increased expenses, including non-deductible merger-related expenses, reducing pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate was 17.0% at June 30, 2020 compared to 16.3% at June 30, 2019. Due to challenges relating to current market conditions, the

Company may not have the ability to make a reliable estimate of all or part of its ordinary income. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act may have an effect on the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods.

### Comparison of financial condition at

### June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019

#### Overview

Consolidated assets increased $791.6 million, or 78%, to $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2020 from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in assets occurred primarily in cash and cash equivalents, the loan portfolio and the investment portfolio primarily from assets acquired in the merger. Cash inflow from growth in deposits of $202.3 million and $152.8 million in PPPLF funding was used to fund loan growth and pay down borrowings.

### Funds Deployed:

#### Investment securities

At the time of purchase, management classifies investment securities into one of three categories: trading, available-for-sale (AFS) or held-to-maturity (HTM). To date, management has not purchased any securities for trading purposes. All of the securities the Company purchases are classified as AFS even though there is no immediate intent to sell them. The AFS designation affords management the flexibility to sell securities and position the balance sheet in response to capital levels, liquidity needs or changes in market conditions. Debt securities AFS are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported separately within shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Securities designated as HTM are carried at amortized cost and represent debt securities that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.

As of June 30, 2020, the carrying value of investment securities amounted to $293.1 million, or 16% of total assets, compared to $185.1 million, or 18% of total assets, at December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, 57% of the carrying value of the investment portfolio was comprised of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprise residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS – GSE residential or mortgage-backed securities) that amortize and provide monthly cash flow that the Company can use for reinvestment, loan demand, unexpected deposit outflow, facility expansion or operations.

Investment securities were comprised of AFS securities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The AFS securities were recorded with a net unrealized gain of $9.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and a net unrealized gain of $4.6 million as of December 31, 2019. Of the net improvement in the unrealized gain position of $4.5 million, $2.4 million was net unrealized gains on mortgage-backed securities, $1.9 million was net unrealized gains on municipal securities and $0.2 million was net unrealized gains on agency securities. The direction and magnitude of the change in value of the Company’s investment portfolio is attributable to the direction and magnitude of the change in interest rates along the treasury yield curve. Generally, the values of debt securities move in the opposite direction of the changes in interest rates. As interest rates along the treasury yield curve decline, especially at the intermediate and long end, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Whether or not the value of the Company’s investment portfolio will continue to rise above its amortized cost will be largely dependent on the direction and magnitude of interest rate movements and the duration of the debt securities within the Company’s investment portfolio. When interest rates rise, the market values of the Company’s debt securities portfolio could be subject to market value declines.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $227.4 million in public deposits, or 16% of total deposits. Pennsylvania state law requires the Company to maintain pledged securities on these public deposits or otherwise obtain a FHLB letter of credit or FDIC insurance for these customers. As of June 30, 2020, the balance of pledged securities required for deposit accounts was $168.1 million, or 57% of total securities.

Quarterly, management performs a review of the investment portfolio to determine the causes of declines in the fair value of each security. The Company uses inputs provided by independent third parties to determine the fair value of its investment securities portfolio. Inputs provided by the third parties are reviewed and corroborated by management. Evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether impairment exists and whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary. Considerations such as the Company’s intent and ability to hold the securities until or sell prior to maturity, recoverability of the invested amounts over the intended holding period, the length of time and the severity in pricing decline below cost, the interest rate environment, the receipt of amounts contractually due and whether or not there is an active market for the securities, for example, are applied, along with an analysis of the financial condition of the issuer for management to make a realistic judgment of the probability that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts (principal and interest) due in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. If a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the amortized cost of the security is reduced by the credit impairment amount and a corresponding charge to current earnings is recognized. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not incur other-than-temporary impairment charges from its investment securities portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the carrying value of total investments increased $108.0 million, or 58%. The Company attempts to maintain a well-diversified and proportionate investment portfolio that is structured to complement the strategic direction of the Company. Its growth typically supplements the lending activities but also considers the current and forecasted economic conditions, the Company’s liquidity needs and interest rate risk profile. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company implemented an investment strategy to redeploy the acquired portfolio that was liquidated on May 1, 2020. The re-investment strategy will be completed in the third quarter of 2020.

#### Restricted investments in bank stock

Investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is required for membership in the organization and is carried at cost since there is no market value available. The amount the Company is required to invest is dependent upon the relative size of outstanding borrowings the Company has with the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Excess stock is repurchased from the Company at par if the amount of borrowings declined to a predetermined level. In addition, the Company earns a return or dividend based on the amount invested. The dividends received from the FHLB totaled $119 thousand and $185 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The balance in FHLB and ACBB stock was $3.1 million and $4.4 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

#### Loans held-for-sale (HFS)

Upon origination, most residential mortgages and certain Small Business Administration (SBA) guaranteed loans may be classified as held-for-sale (HFS). In the event of market rate increases, fixed-rate loans and loans not immediately scheduled to re-price would no longer produce yields consistent with the current market. In declining interest rate environments, the Company would be exposed to prepayment risk as rates on fixed-rate loans decrease, and customers look to refinance loans. Consideration is given to the Company’s current liquidity position and projected future liquidity needs. To better manage prepayment and interest rate risk, loans that meet these conditions may be classified as HFS. Occasionally, residential mortgage and/or other nonmortgage loans may be transferred from the loan portfolio to HFS. The carrying value of loans HFS is based on the lower of cost or estimated fair value. If the fair values of these loans decline below their original cost, the difference is written down and charged to current earnings. Subsequent appreciation in the portfolio is credited to current earnings but only to the extent of previous write-downs.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, loans HFS consisted of residential mortgages with carrying amounts of $17.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, which approximated their fair values. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, residential mortgage loans with principal balances of $41.2 million were sold into the secondary market and the Company recognized net gains of $0.7 million, compared to $23.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The Company retains mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) on loans sold into the secondary market. MSRs are retained so that the Company can foster personal relationships. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the servicing portfolio balance of sold residential mortgage loans was $301.6 million and $302.3 million, respectively, with mortgage servicing rights of $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the same periods, respectively.

#### Loans and leases

The composition of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is summarized as follows:

*(dollars in thousands)*

| Loans held-for-sale | **$17,348** |  | **$-** |  | **$17,348** |  | $1,643 |  |

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had gross loans and leases totaling $1.125 billion compared to $754 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $371 million, or 49%.

The increase resulted primarily from $232 million in loans acquired via the merger with MNB and $153 million in loans, net of deferred fees, originated under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) primarily during the second quarter 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, Company-originated loans, excluding the PPP loans, totaled $741 million compared with $754 million as of December 31, 2019, a decrease of $13 million, or 1.3%, due to the payoff of commercial loans during the first quarter of 2020.

### Commercial & industrial and commercial real estate

As of June 30, 2020, the commercial loan portfolio totaled $664 million and consisted of commercial and industrial (C&I) and commercial real estate (CRE) loans. Company-originated loans totaled $494 million and acquired loans from MNB totaled $171 million. As of December 31, 2019, the commercial loan portfolio totaled $358 million and therefore loans originated by the Company experienced a $136 million, or 38%, year to date increase.

Company-originated loans, net of fees, excluding $153 million in PPP loans, which were recorded as C&I loans, decreased from $358 million as of December 31, 2019 to $341 million as of June 30, 2020, a $17 million decrease, or 5%.

This reduction resulted primarily from the payoff of two tax-free commercial loans to one customer and the payoff of a few large commercial real estate loans.

#### Paycheck Protection Program Loans

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and provided over $2.0 trillion in emergency economic relief to individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (SBA) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans. An eligible business can apply for a PPP loan up to the greater of: (1) 2.5 times its average monthly payroll costs, or (2) $10.0 million. PPP loans will have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a two-year loan term to maturity for loans originated before June 5th and a five-year maturity for loans originated beginning on June 5th; and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six months from the date of disbursement. The SBA will guarantee 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrowers’ PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be reduced by the loan forgiveness amount under the PPP, so long as the employer maintains or quickly rehires employees and maintains salary levels and 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 40% of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses. The Company expects most of these loans will be forgiven before year end.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had originated 1,439 loans totaling $157 million under the Paycheck Protection Program. As a PPP lender, the Company received fee income of approximately $5.2 million, net of costs. The Company recognized $0.8 million of PPP fee income during the second quarter 2020 with the remaining amount to be recognized in future quarters. Unearned fees attributed to PPP loans net of fees paid to referral sources, as prescribed by the SBA under the PPP program, was $4.4 million as of June 30, 2020.

The PPP loans originated by size were as follows as of June 30, 2020:

*(dollars in thousands)*

|  | Balance originated | Total SBA fee |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| $150,000 or less | **$71,600** | **$3,580** |
| Greater than $150,000 but less than $2,000,000 | **53,837** | **1,615** |
| $2,000,000 or higher | **31,656** | **317** |
| Total PPP loans originated | **$157,093** | **$5,512** |

### Consumer

As of June 30, 2020, the consumer loan portfolio totaled $219 million and consisted of home equity installment, home equity line of credit, auto, direct finance leases and other consumer loans. Company-originated loans totaled $205 million and acquired loans from MNB totaled $14 million. As of December 31, 2019, the consumer loan portfolio totaled $212 million. The $7 million, or 37%, increase in the consumer loan portfolio was due to the MNB acquisition. Net of MNB-acquired loans, company-originated loans decreased by $7 million, or 3%.

This reduction in company-originated consumer loans was primarily the result of net runoff in the auto loan portfolio, the result of COVID-19’s impact on car sales during the 2nd quarter 2020.

### Residential

As of June 30, 2020, the residential loan portfolio totaled $241 million and consisted primarily of held-to-maturity residential loans for primary residences. Company-originated loans totaled $195 million and acquired loans from MNB totaled $46 million. As of December 31, 2019, the residential loan portfolio totaled $185 million. The $56 million, or 31%, increase in the residential loan portfolio was due to the MNB acquisition.

Net of MNB-acquired loans, Company-originated loans increased by $10 million, or 5%, mainly due to $19 million in 94 mortgage modifications year to date to refinance existing loans at market rates to qualified customers. Management expects continued growth in residential loans for the remainder of 2020.

The Company’s service team is experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated to servicing the community and its clients. The Company will continue to provide products and services that benefit our clients as well as the community which is very important to our success. There is much uncertainty regarding the effects COVID-19 may have on demand for loans and leases. The Company has been proactively trying to reach out to customers to understand their needs during this crisis.

#### Allowance for loan losses

Management evaluates the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio and performs a formal review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (allowance) on a quarterly basis. The allowance reflects management’s best estimate of the amount of credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s judgment is based on the evaluation of individual loans, past experience, the assessment of current economic conditions and other relevant factors including the amounts and timing of cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Those estimates may be susceptible to significant change. The provision for loan losses represents the amount necessary to maintain an appropriate allowance. Loan losses are charged directly against the allowance when loans are deemed to be uncollectible. Recoveries from previously charged-off loans are added to the allowance when received.

Management applies two primary components during the loan review process to determine proper allowance levels. The two components are a specific loan loss allocation for loans that are deemed impaired and a general loan loss allocation for those loans not specifically allocated. The methodology to analyze the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is as follows:

identification of specific impaired loans by loan category;

calculation of specific allowances where required for the impaired loans based on collateral and other objective and quantifiable evidence;

determination of loans with similar credit characteristics within each class of the loan portfolio segment and eliminating the impaired loans;

application of historical loss percentages (trailing twelve-quarter average) to pools to determine the allowance allocation;

application of qualitative factor adjustment percentages to historical losses for trends or changes in the loan portfolio, regulations, and/or current economic conditions.

A key element of the methodology to determine the allowance is the Company’s credit risk evaluation process, which includes credit risk grading of individual commercial loans. Commercial loans are assigned credit risk grades based on the Company’s assessment of conditions that affect the borrower’s ability to meet its contractual obligations under the loan agreement. That process includes reviewing borrowers’ current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and other information specific to each individual borrower. Upon review, the commercial loan credit risk grade is revised or reaffirmed. The credit risk grades may be changed at any time management determines an upgrade or downgrade may be warranted. The credit risk grades for the commercial loan portfolio are taken into account in the reserve methodology and loss factors are applied based upon the credit risk grades. The loss factors applied are based upon the Company’s historical experience as well as what management believes to be best practices and within common industry standards. Historical experience reveals there is a direct correlation between the credit risk grades and loan charge-offs. The changes in allocations in the commercial loan portfolio from period-to-period are based upon the credit risk grading system and from periodic reviews of the loan portfolio.

Each quarter, management performs an assessment of the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s Special Assets Committee meets quarterly and the applicable lenders discuss each relationship under review and reach a consensus on the appropriate estimated loss amount, if applicable, based on current accounting guidance. The Special Assets Committee’s focus is on ensuring the pertinent facts are considered regarding not only loans considered for specific reserves, but also the collectability of loans that may be past due. The assessment process also includes the review of all loans on non-accrual status as well as a review of certain loans to which the lenders or the Credit Administration function have assigned a criticized or classified risk rating.

The following tables set forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses and certain key ratios for the period indicated:

*(dollars in thousands)*

|  | As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 | As of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 | As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 |

| Net charge-offs | **(276)** | (1,085) | (762) |
| Provision for loan losses | **2,200** | 1,085 | 510 |
| Balance at end of period | **$11,671** | $9,747 | $9,495 |
| Allowance for loan losses to total loans | **1.04%** | 1.29% | 1.29% |
| Net charge-offs to average total loans outstanding | **0.06%** | 0.15% | 0.21% |
| Average total loans | **$890,221** | $732,152 | $717,278 |
| Loans 30 - 89 days past due and accruing | **$893** | $1,366 | $1,781 |
| Loans 90 days or more past due and accruing | **$122** | $- | $37 |
| Non-accrual loans | **$4,262** | $3,674 | $4,113 |
| Allowance for loan losses to non-accrual loans | **2.74** **x** | 2.65 x | 2.31 x |
| Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans | **2.66** **x** | 2.65 x | 2.29 x |

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the allowance increased $1.9 million, or 20%, to $11.7 million compared to $9.8 million at December 31, 2019 due to provisioning of $2.2 million partially offset by $0.3 million in net charge-offs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, total loans, which represent gross loans less unearned lease revenue, increased $371 million, or 49%, to $1.124 billion compared to $753 million at December 31, 2019.

The increase in the loan portfolio resulted primarily from $231 million in loans, net of deferred costs, acquired via the merger with MNB and $153 million in loans originated under the PPP, net of deferred fees, primarily during the second quarter 2020.

Loans acquired via the MNB merger (performing and non-performing) were initially recorded at their acquisition-date fair values. Because there is no initial credit valuation allowance recorded under this method, the Company establishes a post-acquisition allowance of loan losses to record losses which may subsequently arise on the acquired loans. Since no deterioration was noted for any such loans following acquisition, no allowance for loan and lease losses was recorded for them.

PPP loans made to eligible borrowers have a 100% SBA guarantee. Given this guarantee, no allowance for loan and lease losses was recorded for them.

The 49% increase in the loan portfolio compared with the 20% increase in the allowance for loan losses caused the allowance for loan and lease losses to decrease as a percentage of total loans to 1.04% at June 30, 2020 from 1.29% at December 31, 2019. However, this ratio decreased because $384 million in loans, or 34% of the portfolio, mostly added during the 2nd quarter of 2020, did not require allowance for loan and lease losses.

Therefore, allowance for loan and lease losses was recorded only for the Company-originated loan portfolios. As of June 30, 2020, the loan portfolio, net of PPP loans and MNB acquired loans, totaled $741 million, a decrease of $13 million, or 1.7%, from $754 million as of December 31, 2019.

Management believes that the current balance in the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to meet the identified potential credit quality issues that may arise and other issues unidentified but inherent to the portfolio. Potential problem loans are those where there is known information that leads management to believe repayment of principal and/or interest is in jeopardy and the loans are currently neither on non-accrual status nor past due 90 days or more.

During the first quarter of 2020, management increased the qualitative factors associated with its commercial, consumer, and residential portfolios related to potential adverse changes in both the volume and severity of past due and non-accrual loans along with national and local economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A statewide shutdown of non-essential business activity was ordered on March 16th in Pennsylvania. General economic reports and data indicate a recession with elevated unemployment and sustained low inflation. The duration and severity of the recession or the ultimate path of the recovery was not known at that point.

During the second quarter of 2020, management increased the qualitative factors associated with its loan portfolio, despite the decrease in the Company-originated loan portfolio, to recognize higher inherent risk characteristics for loans that were deemed to have greater exposure to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These characteristics included loans that received forbearance of any kind (see COVID-19 Accommodations), loans that were in high risk industries, and loans that had prior delinquency of over 60 days. High risk industries include hotel accommodations, food service, energy, recreation, certain parts of the transportation segment, and other service industries. The duration and severity of the recession or the ultimate path of the recovery remains uncertain. Going forward, management will increase the allowance for loan losses consistent with increased exposure to inherent loss in the loan portfolio as economic impacts worsen due to COVID-19.

Should the duration and/or severity of the pandemic’s economic impact increase, management will take measures commensurate with the then observed risk to increase the provision for loan losses and, by extension, the allowance for loan and lease losses as appropriate.

The allocation of net charge-offs among major categories of loans are as follows for the periods indicated:

*(dollars in thousands)*

| Net charge-offs | For the six months ended June 30, 2020 | % of Total Net Charge-offs | For the six months ended June 30, 2019 | % of Total Net Charge-offs |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Commercial and industrial | **$(242)** | **88%** | $(115) | 15% |
| Commercial real estate | **(161)** | **58** | (465) | 61 |
| Consumer | **(34)** | **12** | (138) | 18 |
| Residential | **161** | **(58)** | (44) | 6 |
| Total net charge-offs | $(276) | **100%** | $(762) | 100% |

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net charge-offs against the allowance totaled $0.3 million compared with $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, representing a $0.5 million, or 64%, decrease. The sharp decrease was attributed to a $0.2 million recovery during the first quarter of 2020 in the form of a reimbursement from the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) for previously sold mortgages charged-off during the third quarter of 2019. Excluding this recovery, net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 would have shown an improvement, decreasing by $0.3 million, or 39%, over the prior year.

For a discussion on the provision for loan losses, see the “Provision for loan losses,” located in the results of operations section of management’s discussion and analysis contained herein.

The allowance for loan losses can generally absorb losses throughout the loan portfolio. However, in some instances an allocation is made for specific loans or groups of loans. Allocation of the allowance for loan losses for different categories of loans is based on the methodology used by the Company, as previously explained. The changes in the allocations from period-to-period are based upon quarter-end reviews of the loan portfolio.

Allocation of the allowance among major categories of loans for the periods indicated, as well as the percentage of loans in each category to total loans, is summarized in the following table. This table should not be interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will occur in these amounts or proportions, or that the allocation indicates future charge-off trends. When present, the portion of the allowance designated as unallocated is within the Company’s guidelines:

The allocation of the allowance for the commercial loan portfolio, which is comprised of CRE and C&I loans, accounted for approximately 58% of the total allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020, which represents a two percentage point increase from 56% of the total allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2019 and a one percentage point increase from the 57% of the total allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2019.

The increase in the allowance allocated to the commercial portfolio was attributed to the recognition of increased inherent risk in those portfolios due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The allocation of the allowance for the consumer loan portfolio, accounted for approximately 18% of the total allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020, which is down from 21% of the total allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2019 and 22% of the total allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2019. This decrease in the allowance allocated to the consumer loan portfolio from the year earlier period was attributed to the relative increase in the COVID-related inherent risk in the commercial loan portfolio.

The allocation of the allowance for the residential real estate portfolio, accounted for approximately 23% of the total allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020, which represents no change from 23% of the total allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2019 and a two percentage point increase from 21% of the total allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2019. The increase in the allowance allocated to the residential real estate portfolio was attributed to the relative rise in the residential portfolio compared to commercial and consumer portfolios.

The unallocated amount represents the portion of the allowance not specifically identified with a loan or groups of loans. The unallocated reserve was less than 1% of the total allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2020, unchanged from less than 1% of the total allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

#### Non-performing assets

The Company defines non-performing assets as accruing loans past due 90 days or more, non-accrual loans, TDRs, other real estate owned (ORE) and repossessed assets.

The following table sets forth non-performing assets data as of the period indicated:

*(dollars in thousands)*

|  | June 30, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | June 30, 2019 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Loans past due 90 days or more and accruing | **$122** | $- | $37 |
| Non-accrual loans \* | **4,262** | 3,674 | 4,113 |
| Total non-performing loans | **4,384** | 3,674 | 4,150 |
| Troubled debt restructurings | **983** | 991 | 1,277 |
| Other real estate owned and repossessed assets | **185** | 369 | 726 |
| Total non-performing assets | **$5,552** | $5,034 | $6,153 |
| Total loans, including loans held-for-sale | **$1,141,692** | $755,053 | $735,685 |
| Total assets | **$1,801,530** | $1,009,927 | $997,039 |
| Non-accrual loans to total loans | **0.37%** | 0.49% | 0.56% |
| Non-performing loans to total loans | **0.38%** | 0.49% | 0.56% |
| Non-performing assets to total assets | **0.31%** | 0.50% | 0.62% |

\* In the table above, the amount includes non-accrual TDRs of $0.6 million as of June 30, 2020, $0.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2019.

In the review of loans for both delinquency and collateral sufficiency, management concluded that there were several loans that lacked the ability to repay in accordance with contractual terms. The decision to place loans on non-accrual status is made on an individual basis after considering factors pertaining to each specific loan. Generally, commercial loans are placed on non-accrual status when management has determined that payment of all contractual principal and interest is in doubt or the loan is past due 90 days or more as to principal and interest, unless well-secured and in the process of collection. Consumer loans secured by residential real estate and residential mortgage loans are placed on non-accrual status at 120 days past due as to principal and interest, and unsecured consumer loans are charged-off when the loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal and interest. Uncollected interest income accrued on all loans placed on non-accrual is reversed and charged to interest income.

Non-performing assets represented 0.31% of total assets at June 30, 2020 compared with 0.50% at December 31, 2019 and 0.62% at June 30, 2019. The year-to-date improvement in the non-performing assets ratio was the result of the $792 million, or 78%, increase in total assets to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2020 and the year-over-year improvement in the non-performing assets ratio was the result of the net reduction in non-performing assets by $0.6 million, or 10%, along with a $804 million, or 81%, increase in total assets.

As of June 30, 2020, non-performing assets increased to $5.5 million from $5.0 million at December 31, 2019 but decreased from $6.1 million at June 30, 2019. The year to date increase resulted from an increase in past due over 90 day loans and a $0.5 million increase in non-accrual loans offset by a slight decrease in TDRs and ORE. The year over year decrease in non-performing assets was due to a reduction in TDRs and ORE by $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a slight increase in loans past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans.

From December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020, non-accrual loans increased $0.6 million, or 16%, from $3.7 million to $4.3 million. At June 30, 2020, there were a total of 49 loans to 42 unrelated borrowers with balances that ranged from less than $1 thousand to $0.5 million. At December 31, 2019, there were a total of 44 loans to 34 unrelated borrowers with balances that ranged from less than $1 thousand to $0.5 million. The increase in non-accrual loans was the result of $1.8 million in new nonaccruals, $0.1 million in expenses added to balances, $0.6 million in payments, $0.4 million in charge-offs, and $0.3 million in moves to ORE.

There were 3 loan loans totaling $0.1 million that were over 90 days past due as of June 30, 2020 compared to no loans over 90 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company seeks payments from all past due customers through an aggressive customer communication process. A past due loan will be placed on non-accrual at the 90-day point when it is deemed that a customer is non-responsive and uncooperative to collection efforts.

The composition of non-performing loans as of June 30, 2020 is as follows:

*(dollars in thousands)*

|  | Gross loan balances | Past due 90 days or more and still accruing | Non- accrual loans | Total non- performing loans | % of gross loans |

| Total | **$1,141,692** | **$122** | **$4,262** | **$4,384** | **0.38%** |

\*Net of unearned lease revenue of $0.9 million.

Payments received from non-accrual loans are recognized on a cost recovery method. Payments are first applied to the outstanding principal balance, then to the recovery of any charged-off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as a recovery of interest income. If the non-accrual loans that were outstanding as of June 30, 2020 had been performing in accordance with their original terms, the Company would have recognized interest income with respect to such loans of $132 thousand.

The following tables set forth the activity in TDRs for the periods indicated:

The Company, on a regular basis, reviews changes to loans to determine if they meet the definition of a TDR. TDRs arise when a borrower experiences financial difficulty and the Company grants a concession that it would not otherwise grant based on current underwriting standards in order to maximize the Company’s recovery.

Consistent with Section 4013 and the Revised Statement of Section 4013 of the CARES Act, specifically “Temporary Relief From Troubled Debt Restructurings”, the Company approved requests by borrowers to modify loan terms and defer principal and/or interest payment for loans. U.S. GAAP permits the temporary suspension of TDR determination defined under ASC 310-40 provided that such modifications are made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief. This includes short-term (i.e. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current for purposes of Section 4013 are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time the modification program is implemented.

From December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020, TDRs remained relatively unchanged, decreasing $12 thousand, or less than 1%. At December 31, 2019, there were a total of 8 TDRs by 7 unrelated borrowers with balances that ranged from $80 thousand to $0.5 million. At June 30, 2020, there were a total of 8 TDRs by 7 unrelated borrowers with balances that ranged from $79 thousand to $0.5 million. The $12 thousand decrease was driven by the standard amortization of the portfolio. As of June 30, 2020, no COVID-19 modifications were designated as TDRs.

Loans modified in a TDR may or may not be placed on non-accrual status. At December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, two TDRs totaling $0.6 million were on non-accrual status.

Beginning the week of March 16, 2020, the Company began receiving requests for temporary modifications to the repayment structure for borrower loans. The modifications are grouped into deferred payments of no more than six months, interest only, lines of credit only and other. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had 1,429 temporary modifications with principal balances totaling $201.8 million. As of July 31, 2020, there were approximately 56 second requests for temporary forbearance modifications were for $10.2 million.

The global pandemic referred to as COVID-19 has created many impediments to loan production relative to the measures taken to slow the spread. These measures have put a large strain on a wide variety of industries within the global economy generally, and the Company’s market specifically. The overall economic impact and effect of the measures is yet to be fully understood as its effects will most likely lag timewise behind while businesses and governments inject resources to help lessen the impact. Despite efforts to lessen the impact, it is the Company’s current belief that the pandemic will temporarily, or in some cases permanently, damage our borrower’s ability to repay loans and comply with terms.

#### Foreclosed assets held-for-sale

From December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020, foreclosed assets held-for-sale (ORE) decreased from $349 thousand to $156 thousand, a $193 thousand, or 55%, decrease, due to the sale of two foreclosed assets for $250 thousand during the first quarter and the sale of one foreclosed asset for $10 thousand in the second quarter, partially offset by the addition of a commercial property for $67 thousand during the second quarter. The following table sets forth the activity in the ORE component of foreclosed assets held-for-sale:

*(dollars in thousands)*

|  | June 30, 2020 Amount | # | December 31, 2019 Amount | # |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Balance at beginning of period | **$349** | **7** | $190 | 6 |
| Additions | **67** | **1** | 1,229 | 6 |
| Pay downs | **-** |  | (18) |  |
| Write downs | **-** |  | (82) |  |
| Sold | **(260)** | **(3)** | (970) | (5) |
| Balance at end of period | **$156** | **5** | $349 | 7 |

As of June 30, 2020, ORE consisted of five properties from five unrelated borrowers totaling $156 thousand. One of these properties ($67 thousand) was added in 2020; one of these properties ($32 thousand) was added in 2019; one of these properties ($15 thousand) was added in 2018; one of these properties (less than $1 thousand) was added in 2017; and one was added in 2014 ($42 thousand). Of the five properties, all properties are currently listed for sale.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had three other repossessed assets held-for-sale, with a balance of $28 thousand compared to two other repossessed assets held-for-sale, with a balance of $20 thousand as of December 31, 2019.

#### Cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance

The Company maintains bank owned life insurance (BOLI) for a chosen group of employees at the time of purchase, namely its officers, where the Company is the owner and sole beneficiary of the policies. BOLI is classified as a non-interest earning asset. Increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as components of non-interest income. The BOLI is profitable from the appreciation of the cash surrender values of the pool of insurance and its tax-free advantage to the Company. This profitability is used to offset a portion of current and future employee benefit costs. In March 2019, the Company invested $2.0 million in additional BOLI as a source of funding for additional life insurance benefits that provides for payments upon death for officers and employee benefit expenses related to the Company’s non-qualified SERP implemented for certain executive officers. The BOLI can be liquidated if necessary, with associated tax costs. However, the Company intends to hold this pool of insurance, because it provides income that enhances the Company’s capital position. Therefore, the Company has not provided for deferred income taxes on the earnings from the increase in cash surrender value.

#### Premises and equipment

Net of depreciation, premises and equipment increased $6.9 million during the first six months of 2020. The Company acquired $6.9 million in fixed assets as a result of the merger and purchased $1.0 million in additions to fixed assets partially offset by $0.9 million in depreciation expense recorded. The Company is expected to begin the renovation of its main office first floor branch in 2020 which will increase construction in process by approximately $2.3 million with completion expected by the middle of 2022.

#### Other assets

During the first six months of 2020, the $22.6 million increase in other assets was due mostly to $22.5 million of MBS, taxable and nontaxable municipal security settlements pending.

### Funds Provided:

#### Deposits

The Company is a community based commercial depository financial institution, member FDIC, which offers a variety of deposit products with varying ranges of interest rates and terms. Generally, deposits are obtained from consumers, businesses and public entities within the communities that surround the Company’s 21 branch offices and all deposits are insured by the FDIC up to the full extent permitted by law. Deposit products consist of transaction accounts including: savings; clubs; interest-bearing checking; money market and non-interest bearing checking (DDA). The Company also offers short- and long-term time deposits or certificates of deposit (CDs). CDs are deposits with stated maturities which can range from seven days to ten years. Cash flow from deposits is influenced by economic conditions, changes in the interest rate environment, pricing and competition. To determine interest rates on its deposit products, the Company considers local competition, spreads to earning-asset yields, liquidity position and rates charged for alternative sources of funding such as short-term borrowings and FHLB advances.

The following table represents the components of deposits as of the date indicated:

*(dollars in thousands)*

|  | June 30, 2020 Amount% |  | December 31, 2019 Amount% |  |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Interest-bearing checking | **$391,865** | **27.3%** | $242,171 | 29.0% |
| Savings and clubs | **165,023** | **11.5** | 104,854 | 12.5 |
| Money market | **307,898** | **21.5** | 180,478 | 21.6 |
| Certificates of deposit | **153,985** | **10.8** | 116,211 | 13.9 |
| Total interest-bearing | **1,018,771** | **71.1** | 643,714 | 77.0 |
| Non-interest bearing | **414,918** | **28.9** | 192,023 | 23.0 |
| Total deposits | **$1,433,689** | **100.0%** | $835,737 | 100.0% |

Total deposits increased $598.0 million, or 72%, from $835.7 million at December 31, 2019 to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2020. Non-interest bearing checking accounts contributed the most to the deposit growth with an increase of $222.9 million. On May 1, 2020, the Company acquired $118.8 million in non-interest bearing deposits from the merger with MNB. The remaining growth of over $100 million was primarily due to an increase in deposits account balances from PPP funds and other relief from the CARES Act that has not yet been utilized. Money market accounts also increased $127.4 million, $76.9 million of which was acquired through the merger, and the remainder was mostly due to higher balances of personal accounts and shifts from other types of deposit accounts. Interest-bearing checking accounts increased $149.7 million with $100.9 million acquired from MNB and the remaining increase due to an increase in balances from PPP funding and other relief from the CARES Act. The Company focuses on obtaining a full-banking relationship with existing customers as well as forming new customer relationships. Savings accounts increased $60.2 million due to $46.8 million in accounts acquired from MNB and also an increase in personal account balances. The Company will continue to execute on its relationship development strategy, explore the demographics within its marketplace and develop creative programs for its customers. For 2020, the Company will focus on deposit growth to fund asset growth and pay down short-term borrowings. The Company expect a temporary surge in business deposits to continue into the third quarter of 2020 as PPP loan proceeds and other CARES Act relief in deposit accounts are utilized. Growth in deposits from new markets is expected from a full year with the Mountain Top branch and the merger with MNB Corporation. Seasonal public deposit fluctuations are expected to remain volatile and at times may partially offset this deposit growth.

Additionally, CDs also increased $37.8 million due to $52.2 million in accounts acquired from MNB. Otherwise, the CD portfolio declined as rates dropped during 2020 and CD promos reached maturity. The Company will continue to pursue strategies to grow and retain retail and business customers with an emphasis on deepening and broadening existing and creating new relationships.

The Company uses the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) reciprocal program and Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) reciprocal program to obtain FDIC insurance protection for customers who have large deposits that at times may exceed the FDIC maximum insured amount of $250,000. In the CDARS program, deposits with varying terms and interest rates, originated in the Company’s own markets, are exchanged for deposits of other financial institutions that are members in the CDARS network. By placing the deposits in other participating institutions, the deposits of our customers are fully insured by the FDIC. In return for deposits placed with network institutions, the Company receives from network institutions deposits that are approximately equal in amount and are comprised of terms similar to those placed for our customers. Deposits the Company receives from other institutions are considered reciprocal deposits by regulatory definitions. The Company did not have any CDARs as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, ICS reciprocal deposits represented $44.4 million and $19.7 million, or 3% and 2%, of total deposits which are included in interest-bearing checking accounts in the table above. The $24.7 million increase in ICS deposits is primarily due to public funds deposit transfers from other interest-bearing checking accounts to ICS accounts.

The maturity distribution of certificates of deposit at June 30, 2020 is as follows:

*(dollars in thousands)*

|  | Three months or less | More than three months to six months | More than six months to twelve months | More than twelve months | Total |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| CDs of $100,000 or more | $25,030 | $17,041 | $29,052 | $11,653 | $82,776 |
| CDs of less than $100,000 | 14,810 | 14,388 | 18,576 | 23,251 | 71,025 |
| Total CDs | $39,840 | $31,429 | $47,628 | $34,904 | $153,801 |

There is a remaining time deposit premium of $184 thousand that will be amortized into income on a level yield amortization method over the contractual life of the deposits.

Certificates of deposit of $250,000 or more amounted to $47.3 million and $44.5 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Approximately 46% of the CDs, with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.65%, are scheduled to mature during the second half of 2020 and an additional 37%, with a weighted-average interest rate of 1.31%, are scheduled to mature during 2021. Renewing CDs are currently expected to re-price to lower market rates depending on the rate on the maturing CD, the pace and direction of interest rate movements, the shape of the yield curve, competition, the rate profile of the maturing accounts and depositor preference for alternative, non-term products. The Company plans to address repricing CDs in the ordinary course of business on a relationship basis and is prepared to match rates when prudent to maintain relationships. Growth in CD accounts is challenged by the current and expected rate environment and clients’ preference for short-term rates, as well as aggressive competitor rates. The Company is not currently offering any CD promotions but may resume promotions in the future. The Company will consider the needs of the customers and simultaneously be mindful of the liquidity levels, borrowing rates and the interest rate sensitivity exposure of the Company.

#### Borrowings

Borrowings are used as a complement to deposit generation as an alternative funding source whereby the Company will borrow under advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh and other correspondent banks for asset growth and liquidity needs

Short-term borrowings may include overnight balances with FHLB line of credit and/or correspondent bank’s federal funds lines which the Company may require to fund daily liquidity needs such as deposit outflow, loan demand and operations. Short-term borrowings increased $115.0 million during the first six months of 2020 as the PPPLF was used to fund PPP lending and overnight borrowings were paid off.

During the first half of 2020, the Company paid off $10 million in FHLB advances with a weighted average interest rate of 2.97%. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company acquired $7.6 million of FHLB advances from the merger that was subsequently paid off. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had the ability to borrow an additional $273.6 million from the FHLB.

The following table represents the components of borrowings as of the date indicated:

*(dollars in thousands)*

|  | June 30, 2020 Amount% |  | December 31, 2019 Amount% |  |

#### Management of interest rate risk and market risk analysis.

The adequacy and effectiveness of an institution’s interest rate risk management process and the level of its exposures are critical factors in the regulatory evaluation of an institution’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates and capital adequacy. Management believes the Company’s interest rate risk measurement framework is sound and provides an effective means to measure, monitor, analyze, identify and control interest rate risk in the balance sheet.

The Company is subject to the interest rate risks inherent in its lending, investing and financing activities. Fluctuations of interest rates will impact interest income and interest expense along with affecting market values of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, except for those assets or liabilities with a short term remaining to maturity. Interest rate risk management is an integral part of the asset/liability management process. The Company has instituted certain procedures and policy guidelines to manage the interest rate risk position. Those internal policies enable the Company to react to changes in market rates to protect net interest income from significant fluctuations. The primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income along with creating an asset/liability structure that maximizes earnings.

*Asset/Liability Management.* One major objective of the Company when managing the rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities is to stabilize net interest income. The management of and authority to assume interest rate risk is the responsibility of the Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), which is comprised of senior management and members of the board of directors. ALCO meets quarterly to monitor the relationship of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities. The process to review interest rate risk is a regular part of managing the Company. Consistent policies and practices of measuring and reporting interest rate risk exposure, particularly regarding the treatment of non-contractual assets and liabilities, are in effect. In addition, there is an annual process to review the interest rate risk policy with the board of directors which includes limits on the impact to earnings from shifts in interest rates.

*Interest Rate Risk Measurement.* Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of three complementary measures: static gap analysis, earnings at risk simulation and economic value at risk simulation. While each of the interest rate risk measurements has limitations, collectively, they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the Company and the distribution of risk along the yield curve, the level of risk through time and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships.

*Static Gap*. The ratio between assets and liabilities re-pricing in specific time intervals is referred to as an interest rate sensitivity gap. Interest rate sensitivity gaps can be managed to take advantage of the slope of the yield curve as well as forecasted changes in the level of interest rate changes.

To manage this interest rate sensitivity gap position, an asset/liability model commonly known as cumulative gap analysis is used to monitor the difference in the volume of the Company’s interest sensitive assets and liabilities that mature or re-price within given time intervals. A positive gap (asset sensitive) indicates that more assets will re-price during a given period compared to liabilities, while a negative gap (liability sensitive) indicates the opposite effect. The Company employs computerized net interest income simulation modeling to assist in quantifying interest rate risk exposure. This process measures and quantifies the impact on net interest income through varying interest rate changes and balance sheet compositions. The use of this model assists the ALCO to gauge the effects of the interest rate changes on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to determine what impact these rate changes will have upon the net interest spread. At June 30, 2020, the Company maintained a one-year cumulative gap of positive (asset sensitive) $235.7 million, or 13%, of total assets. The effect of this positive gap position provided a mismatch of assets and liabilities which may expose the Company to interest rate risk during periods of falling interest rates. Conversely, in an increasing interest rate environment, net interest income could be positively impacted because more assets than liabilities will re-price upward during the one-year period.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis discussed above and presented in the next table. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of re-pricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table amounts. The ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

The following table illustrates the Company’s interest sensitivity gap position at June 30, 2020:

(1) Includes restricted investments in bank stock and the net unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale securities.

(2) Investments and loans are included in the earlier of the period in which interest rates were next scheduled to adjust or the period in which they are due. In addition, loans were included in the periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid based on scheduled amortization. For amortizing loans and MBS – GSE residential, annual prepayment rates are assumed reflecting historical experience as well as management’s knowledge and experience of its loan products.

(3) The Company’s demand and savings accounts were generally subject to immediate withdrawal. However, management considers a certain amount of such accounts to be core accounts having significantly longer effective maturities based on the retention experiences of such deposits in changing interest rate environments. The effective maturities presented are the recommended maturity distribution limits for non-maturing deposits based on historical deposit studies.

*Earnings at Risk and Economic Value at Risk Simulations*. The Company recognizes that more sophisticated tools exist for measuring the interest rate risk in the balance sheet that extend beyond static re-pricing gap analysis. Although it will continue to measure its re-pricing gap position, the Company utilizes additional modeling for identifying and measuring the interest rate risk in the overall balance sheet. The ALCO is responsible for focusing on “earnings at risk” and “economic value at risk”, and how both relate to the risk-based capital position when analyzing the interest rate risk.

*Earnings at Risk*. An earnings at risk simulation measures the change in net interest income and net income should interest rates rise and fall. The simulation recognizes that not all assets and liabilities re-price one-for-one with market rates (e.g., savings rate). The ALCO looks at “earnings at risk” to determine income changes from a base case scenario under an increase and decrease of 200 basis points in interest rate simulation models.

*Economic Value at Risk.* An earnings at risk simulation measures the short-term risk in the balance sheet. Economic value (or portfolio equity) at risk measures the long-term risk by finding the net present value of the future cash flows from the Company’s existing assets and liabilities. The ALCO examines this ratio quarterly utilizing an increase and decrease of 200 basis points in interest rate simulation models. The ALCO recognizes that, in some instances, this ratio may contradict the “earnings at risk” ratio.

The following table illustrates the simulated impact of an immediate 200 basis points upward or downward movement in interest rates on net interest income, net income and the change in the economic value (portfolio equity). This analysis assumed that the adjusted interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability levels at June 30, 2020 remained constant. The impact of the rate movements was developed by simulating the effect of the rate change over a twelve-month period from the June 30, 2020 levels:

| Earnings at risk: | % change Rates +200 | Rates -200 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Net interest income | 8.7% | (0.1)% |
| Net income | 20.9 | (0.3) |
| Economic value at risk: |  |  |
| Economic value of equity | 12.5 | (20.2) |
| Economic value of equity as a percent of total assets | 1.3 | (2.1) |

Economic value has the most meaning when viewed within the context of risk-based capital. Therefore, the economic value may normally change beyond the Company’s policy guideline for a short period of time as long as the risk-based capital ratio (after adjusting for the excess equity exposure) is greater than 10%. At June 30, 2020, the Company’s risk-based capital ratio was 15.90%.

The table below summarizes estimated changes in net interest income over a twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2020, under alternate interest rate scenarios using the income simulation model described above:

*(dollars in thousands)*

| Simulated change in interest rates | Net interest income | $% variance | variance |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| +200 basis points | $55,046 | $4,406 | 8.7% |
| +100 basis points | 52,961 | 2,321 | 4.6 |
| Flat rate | 50,640 | - | - |
| -100 basis points | 50,616 | (24) | (0.0) |
| -200 basis points | 50,591 | (49) | (0.1) |

Simulation models require assumptions about certain categories of assets and liabilities. The models schedule existing assets and liabilities by their contractual maturity, estimated likely call date or earliest re-pricing opportunity. MBS – GSE residential securities and amortizing loans are scheduled based on their anticipated cash flow including estimated prepayments. For investment securities, the Company uses a third-party service to provide cash flow estimates in the various rate environments. Savings, money market and interest-bearing checking accounts do not have stated maturities or re-pricing terms and can be withdrawn or re-price at any time. This may impact the margin if more expensive alternative sources of deposits are required to fund loans or deposit runoff. Management projects the re-pricing characteristics of these accounts based on historical performance and assumptions that it believes reflect their rate sensitivity. The model reinvests all maturities, repayments and prepayments for each type of asset or liability into the same product for a new like term at current product interest rates. As a result, the mix of interest-earning assets and interest bearing-liabilities is held constant.

#### Liquidity

Liquidity management ensures that adequate funds will be available to meet customers’ needs for borrowings, deposit withdrawals and maturities, facility expansion and normal operating expenses. Sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, asset maturities and pay-downs within one year, loans HFS, investments AFS, growth of core deposits, utilization of borrowing capacities from the FHLB, correspondent banks, ICS and CDARs, the Discount Window of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (FRB), Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (ACBB) and proceeds from the issuance of capital stock. Though regularly scheduled investment and loan payments are dependable sources of daily liquidity, sales of both loans HFS and investments AFS, deposit activity and investment and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general economic conditions including the interest rate environment. During low and declining interest rate environments, prepayments from interest-sensitive assets tend to accelerate and provide significant liquidity that can be used to invest in other interest-earning assets but at lower market rates. Conversely, in periods of high or rising interest rates, prepayments from interest-sensitive assets tend to decelerate causing prepayment cash flows from mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities to decrease. Rising interest rates may also cause deposit inflow but priced at higher market interest rates or could also cause deposit outflow due to higher rates offered by the Company’s competition for similar products. The Company closely monitors activity in the capital markets and takes appropriate action to ensure that the liquidity levels are adequate for funding, investing and operating activities.

The Company’s contingency funding plan (CFP) sets a framework for handling liquidity issues in the event circumstances arise which the Company deems to be less than normal. The Company established guidelines for identifying, measuring, monitoring and managing the resolution of potentially serious liquidity crises. The CFP outlines required monitoring tools, acceptable alternative funding sources and required actions during various liquidity scenarios. Thus, the Company has implemented a proactive means for the measurement and resolution for handling potentially significant adverse liquidity conditions. At least quarterly, the CFP monitoring tools, current liquidity position and monthly projected liquidity sources and uses are presented and reviewed by the

Company’s Asset/Liability Committee. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had not experienced any adverse issues that would give rise to its inability to raise liquidity in an emergency situation.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company generated $249.1 million of cash. During the period, the Company’s operations used approximately $2.3 million mostly from $18.5 million of net cash inflow from the components of net interest income offset by $11.8 million of originations of loans held for sale over proceeds, net non-interest expense/income related payments of $7.8 million and $1.4 million in quarterly estimated tax payments. Cash inflow from interest-earning assets, assets acquired, deposits, borrowings, loan payments and the sale of securities were used to purchase investment securities and replace maturing and cash runoff of securities, fund the loan portfolio, pay down FHLB advances, invest in bank premises and equipment and make net dividend payments. The Company received a large amount of public deposits over the past four years. The seasonal nature of deposits from municipalities and other public funding sources requires the Company to be prepared for the inherent volatility and the unpredictable timing of cash outflow from this customer base, including maintaining the requirements to pledge investment securities. Starting in 2019, the Company made an effort to open new public accounts as ICS accounts and transfer some existing public accounts to ICS accounts in order to provide the customer with FDIC insurance and to free up the Company’s unencumbered securities to improve liquidity. Accordingly, the use of short-term overnight borrowings could be used to fulfill funding gap needs. The CFP is a tool to help the Company ensure that alternative funding sources are available to meet its liquidity needs.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers and in connection with the overall interest rate management strategy. These instruments involve, to a varying degree, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. In accordance with GAAP, these instruments are either not recorded in the consolidated financial statements or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. Such instruments primarily include lending commitments.

Lending commitments include commitments to originate loans and commitments to fund unused lines of credit. 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 amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded PPP loans funded by the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF). This will provide liquidity without having to exhaust our funding lines. We have experienced a approximately $150 million surge in deposits from the proceeds of PPP loans until customers pay out expenses.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company maintained $264.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $310.4 million of investments AFS and loans HFS. Also as of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $273.6 million available to borrow from the FHLB, $31.0 million from correspondent banks, $80.9 million from the FRB and $159.8 million from the Promontory One-Way Buy program. The combined total of $1.1 billion represented 62% of total assets at June 30, 2020. Management believes this level of liquidity to be strong and adequate to support current operations.

#### Capital

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, total shareholders' equity increased $50.3 million, or 47%, due principally to the $45.4 million in common stock issued as a result of the acquisition of MNB (See Footnote 9 “Acquisition” for more information), $2.9 million in net income added into retained earnings and the $3.6 million after tax improvement in the net unrealized gain position in the Company’s investment portfolio. Capital was further enhanced by $0.2 million from investments in the Company’s common stock via the Employee Stock Purchase (ESPP) and $0.7 million from stock-based compensation expense from the ESPP and restricted stock and SSARs. These items were partially offset by $2.5 million of cash dividends declared on the Company’s common stock. The Company’s dividend payout ratio, defined as the rate at which current earnings are paid to shareholders, was 85.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The balance of earnings is retained to further strengthen the Company’s capital position.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company reported a net unrealized gain position of $7.2 million, net of tax, from the securities AFS portfolio compared to a net unrealized gain of $3.6 million as of December 31, 2019. The improvement during 2020 was from $4.6 million in net unrealized gains on AFS securities, net of tax. Higher net unrealized gains on all types of securities contributed to the net unrealized gains in investment portfolio. Management believes that changes in fair value of the Company’s securities are due to changes in interest rates and not in the creditworthiness of the issuers. Generally, when U.S. Treasury rates rise, investment securities’ pricing declines and fair values of investment securities also decline. While volatility has existed in the yield curve within the past twelve months, a declining rate environment is expected and during the period of declining rates, the Company expects pricing in the bond portfolio to improve. There is no assurance that future realized and unrealized losses will not be recognized from the Company’s portfolio of investment securities. To help maintain a healthy capital position, the Company can issue stock to participants in the DRP and ESPP plans. The DRP affords the Company the option to acquire shares in open market purchases and/or issue shares directly from the Company to plan participants. During the first half of 2020, the Company acquired shares in the open market to fulfill the needs of the DRP. Both the DRP and the ESPP plans have been a consistent source of capital from the Company’s loyal employees and shareholders and their participation in these plans will continue to help strengthen the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Under these guidelines, assets and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets. The guidelines require all banks and bank holding companies to maintain a minimum ratio of total risk-based capital to total risk-weighted assets (Total Risk Adjusted Capital) of 8%, including Tier I common equity to total risk-weighted assets (Tier I Common Equity) of 4.5%, Tier I capital to total risk-weighted assets (Tier I Capital) of 6% and Tier I capital to average total assets (Leverage Ratio) of at least 4%. A capital conservation buffer, comprised of common equity Tier I capital, is also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements of 2.50%. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company and the Bank exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

During the second quarter of 2020, PPP loans funded through the PPPLF will be excluded from the Leverage Ratio.

The Company continues to closely monitor and evaluate alternatives to enhance its capital ratios as the regulatory and economic environments change. The following table depicts the capital amounts and ratios of the Company, on a consolidated basis, and the Bank as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 1,064 characters.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of its President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on such evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or furnishes under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and are effective. The Company made no changes in its internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls during the last fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020.

## Risk factors

As filed, 3,182 characters.

**The COVID-19 Pandemic Has Adversely Impacted Our Business And Financial Results, And The Ultimate Impact Will Depend On Future Developments, Which Are Highly Uncertain And Cannot Be Predicted, Including The Scope And Duration Of The Pandemic And Actions Taken By Governmental Authorities In Response To The Pandemic.**

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global, national and local economies, disrupted global and national supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities. As a result, the demand for our products and services may be significantly impacted, which could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations. Furthermore, the pandemic could continue to result in the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses, particularly if businesses remain closed or are required to operate at diminished capacities, the impact on the global, national and local economies worsen, or more customers draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may be required to recognize further impairments on the securities we hold as well as reductions in other comprehensive income. Our business operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

We continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks as they evolve. The magnitude, duration and likelihood of the current outbreak of COVID-19, further outbreaks of COVID-19, future actions taken by governmental authorities and/or other third parties in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its future direct and indirect effects on the global, national and local economy generally and our business and results of operation specifically are highly uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic may cause prolonged global or national recessionary economic conditions or longer lasting effects on economic conditions than currently exist, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Management of the Company does not believe there have been any other material changes to the risk factors that were disclosed in the 2019 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2020.
