INTRODUCTION

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the significant changes in financial condition, the results of operations, capital resources and liquidity presented in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements for the Company. The Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations consist almost entirely of the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes. Except as noted, tabular information is presented in thousands of dollars.

The Company currently engages in the general business of banking throughout its service area of Bradford, Tioga, Clinton, Potter and Centre counties in north central Pennsylvania, Lebanon,
Berks, Schuylkill and Lancaster counties in south central Pennsylvania and Allegany County in southern New York. We also have a limited branch office in Union county, Pennsylvania, which primarily serves agricultural customers in the central
Pennsylvania market. We maintain our main office in Mansfield, Pennsylvania. Presently we operate 34 banking facilities, 31 of which operate as bank branches. In Pennsylvania, the Company has full service offices located in Mansfield,
Blossburg, Ulysses, Genesee, Wellsboro, Troy, Sayre, Canton, Gillett, Millerton, LeRaysville, Towanda, Rome, the Mansfield Wal-Mart Super Center, Mill Hall, Schuylkill Haven, Friedensburg, Mt. Aetna, Fredericksburg, Mount Joy, Fivepointville,
State College and two branches near the city of Lebanon, Pennsylvania. In November of 2020, we opened a full service branch in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. We also have a limited branch office in Winfield, Pennsylvania. In New York, our office
is in Wellsville. There are two branches in Wilmington Delaware, one branch in Dover Delaware, and a corporate administration building in Wilmington, Delaware, which were acquired as part of the MidCoast acquisition in April 2020.

Risk identification and management are essential elements for the successful management of the Company.  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various types of risk,
including interest rate, credit, liquidity, reputational and regulatory risk.

Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of net interest income and the market value of financial instruments to the direction and frequency of changes in interest rates.  Interest rate risk
results from various re-pricing frequencies and the maturity structure of the financial instruments owned by the Company.  The Company uses its asset/liability and funds management policies to control and manage interest rate risk.

Credit risk represents the possibility that a customer may not perform in accordance with contractual terms.  Credit risk results from loans with customers and the purchasing of securities. 
The Company’s primary credit risk is in the loan portfolio.  The Company manages credit risk by adhering to an established credit policy and through a disciplined evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Also, the
investment policy limits the amount of credit risk that may be taken in the investment portfolio.

Liquidity risk represents the inability to generate or otherwise obtain funds at reasonable rates to satisfy commitments to borrowers and obligations to depositors.  The Company has established
guidelines within its asset/liability and funds management policy to manage liquidity risk.  These guidelines include, among other things, contingent funding alternatives.

Reputational risk, or the risk to our business, earnings, liquidity, and capital from negative public opinion, could result from our actual or alleged conduct in a variety of areas, including
legal and regulatory compliance, lending practices, corporate governance, litigation, ethical issues, or inadequate protection of customer information, which could include identify theft, or theft of customer information through third parties.
We expend significant resources to comply with regulatory requirements. Failure to comply could result in reputational harm or significant legal or remedial costs. Damage to our reputation could adversely affect our ability to retain and
attract new customers, and adversely impact our earnings and liquidity.

Regulatory risk represents the possibility that a change in law, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiary.  We cannot
predict what legislation might be enacted or what regulations might be adopted, or if adopted, the effect thereof on our operations.

Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company files with the SEC, including the annual reports on Form 10-K, the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and
any current reports on Form 8-K filed by us.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $29,118,000, which represents an increase of $4,015,000, or 16.0%, when compared to 2020.  Net income for the year ended December 31,
2020 was $25,103,000, which represents an increase of $5,613,000, or 28.8%, when compared to 2019.  Basic earnings per share were $7.38, $6.53 and $5.42 for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, while diluted
earnings per share were $7.38, $6.53 and $5.41, for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Net income is influenced by five key components: net interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income, non-interest expenses, and the provision for income taxes.

Net Interest Income

The most significant source of revenue is net interest income; the amount by which interest earned on interest-earning assets exceeds interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Factors
that influence net interest income are changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as changes in the associated interest rates.

The following table sets forth the Company’s average balances of, and the interest earned or incurred on, each principal category of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity, the
related rates, net interest income and rate “spread” created. The acquisition of MidCoast, which closed on April 17, 2020, impacted the average balances and rates for 2020 when compared to 2019:

For purposes of the comparison, as well as the discussion that follows, this presentation facilitates performance comparisons between taxable and tax-free assets by
increasing the tax-free income by an amount equivalent to the Federal income taxes that would have been paid if this income were taxable at the Federal statutory rate for the corresponding year. Accordingly, tax equivalent adjustments for
investments and loans have been made accordingly to the previous table for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively (in thousands):

2021 vs. 2020

Tax equivalent net interest income for 2021 was $67,035,000 compared to $63,351,000 for 2020, an increase of $3,684,000 or 5.8%. Total interest income increased
$2,684,000, as loan interest income increased $2,508,000, and total investment income increased $176,000. Interest expense decreased $1,000,000 from 2020.

Index

Total tax equivalent interest income from investment securities increased $130,000 in 2021 from 2020. The average balance of investment securities increased $88.5
million, which had an effect of increasing interest income by $1,902,000 due to volume. The majority of the increase in volume was in tax-exempt securities, which experienced an increase in the average balance of $64.2 million. The average
tax-effected yield on our investment portfolio decreased from 2.55% in 2020 to 1.96% in 2021. The decrease in the tax-effected yield is attributable to purchases made in a lower rate environment. As a result of the yield on investment
securities decreasing 59 basis points (bps) to 1.96%, interest income on investment securities decreased $1,772,000, with the decrease primarily related to taxable securities.  The investment strategy for 2021 has been to utilize cashflows
from the investment portfolio and deposit inflows to purchase U.S. treasury securities, mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities and obligations of state and political securities. The increase in the investment
portfolio was in response to the deposit inflows that occurred in 2021. We continually monitor interest rate trading ranges and try to focus purchases to times when rates are in the top of the trading range. The Bank believes its investment
strategy has appropriately mitigated its interest rate risk exposure for various rate environments, while providing sufficient cashflows to meet liquidity needs.

In total, loan interest income increased $2,508,000 in 2021 from 2020.  The average balance of our loan portfolio increased by $133.4 million in 2021 compared to 2020,
which resulted in an increase in interest income of $6,498,000 due to volume.  The increase in the average balance of loans was driven by the MidCoast acquisition from 2020, which was outstanding for the entire year and loan growth that
occurred primarily in the Delaware market. The average tax-effected yield on our loan portfolio decreased 29 basis points to 4.68% in 2021, resulting in a decrease in loan interest income of $3,990,000. The decrease in the tax-effected yield
was due to the lower rate environment promoted by the Federal Reserve in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total interest expense decreased $1,000,000 in 2021 compared to 2020.  The majority of the decrease was due to a decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing
deposits of 15 basis points to 0.43%. This decrease resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $1,849,000. The decrease in rates was driven by the Federal Reserve’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The average rate on certificates of
deposit decreased from 1.23% to 0.98% resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $890,000. The average rate on money markets decreased from 0.49% to 0.27% resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $738,000. The average rate paid on
savings accounts decreased 9 bps and resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $287,000. The average rate paid on other borrowed funds increased from 1.34% to 1.50% resulting in an increase in interest expense of $74,000 and was due to
interest expense on debt issued in 2021.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $172.3 million in 2021, with average interest-bearing deposits increasing $180.9 million and average other borrowings
decreasing $8.6 million. As a result of the increase in average deposits, interest expense increased $835,000 as result of the change in volume. Increases in average deposits, which were primarily driven by organic growth across all markets
of the Bank, included NOW accounts of $73.3 million, savings accounts of $48.9 million, money market accounts of $52.8 million and certificates of deposits of $5.9 million The combined impact to interest expense of these increases was
$835,000. The average balance of other borrowed funds decreased $8.6 million, which corresponds to a decrease in interest expense of $60,000.

Our tax equivalent net interest margin for 2021 was 3.52% compared to 3.92% for 2020, with the change attributable to the yield of interest-earning assets decreasing more
than the cost from interest-bearing liabilities during 2021. Interest rates rose in 2021 in response to shifting expectations for fiscal policy and an enduring pandemic that continued to hamper economic activity, strengthening and prolonging
unusually strong inflationary pressures and altering the expected path of monetary policy. The moves up for interest rates, however, unfolded across the maturity spectrum at different times during the year. Longer yields peaked at the end of
the first quarter, propelled higher by the rollout of vaccines and expectations for more stimulative fiscal policy. Federal Reserve officials abandoned in the second half of the year their belief that higher inflation would prove transitory
and had shifted to a notably more aggressive posture by year’s end. The central bank’s official forecast from March 2021 for rates to remain near zero for the next several years gave way to a call by December to raise the federal funds target
rate range by 1.50% by the end of 2023. Federal funds futures contracts, which began the year flat across the forecast horizon, reflected a presumption for three 25-basis point rate hikes in 2022 and two more in 2023. The 2-year Treasury
yield traded within a range of 0.10% to 0.19% from January 1 through the Federal Reserve’s June 15 meeting, was bounded between 0.17% and 0.27% from mid-June to the September 22 meeting, but climbed steeply in the fourth quarter to 0.73% by
year’s end. Along a similar timeline, the 5-year Treasury yield rose from a low of 0.35% in early January to 1.26% by the end of the year. Despite historic inflation readings in the second half of the year, concerns that the abrupt policy
shift by the Federal Reserve to fight inflation raised the risk of a policy error that could disrupt the recovery kept longer yields in check. The 10-year yield failed to eclipse its March high and finished the year at 1.51%. The timing
differences of rate changes across the curve had a noticeable and informative impact on the shape of the curve throughout the year. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields expanded from 0.79% on January 1, 2021 to a peak of
1.58% on March 31, 2021. Stepping lower in stages for the remainder of the year, the spread tightened back to 0.77% by the end of 2021.

2020 vs. 2019

Tax equivalent net interest income for 2020 was $63,351,000 compared to $51,088,000 for 2019, an increase of $12,263,000 or 24.0%. Total interest income increased
$8,328,000, as loan interest income increased $8,539,000, and total investment income decreased $211,000. Interest expense decreased $3,935,000 in 2020 from 2019.

Index

Total tax equivalent interest income from investment securities decreased $205,000 in 2020 from 2019. The average balance of investment securities increased $21.0
million, which had an effect of increasing interest income by $602,000 due to volume. The majority of the increase in volume was in tax-exempt securities, which experienced an increase in the average balance of $21.5 million. The average
tax-effected yield on our investment portfolio decreased from 2.85% in 2019 to 2.55% in 2020. The decrease in the tax-effected yield is attributable to purchases made in a lower rate environment and calls in the third quarter of 2019 of
securities purchased at a discount. As a result of the yield on investment securities decreasing 30 basis points (bps) to 2.55%, interest income on investment securities decreased $807,000, with the decrease primarily related to taxable
securities.  The increase in the investment portfolio was in response to growth in deposits that exceeded organic loan opportunities in 2019. The Covid-19 pandemic did provide opportunities for the Company to purchase high quality municipal
securities and mortgage backed securities with relatively high spreads in the first and second quarters of 2020. Purchases in the second half of 2020 were reflective of tighter spreads and lower yields due government stimulus and its impact
on bond markets and deposit levels.

In total, loan interest income increased $8,539,000 in 2020 from 2019.  The average balance of our loan portfolio increased by $189.3 million in 2020 compared to 2019,
which resulted in an increase in interest income of $9,880,000 due to volume.  The increase in the average balance of loans was driven by the MidCoast acquisition in the first quarter of 2020 and the PPP program authorized by the SBA in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Organic growth in the first three quarters of 2020, excluding the PPP program was limited, but did increase in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily in our Delaware market. The average tax-effected yield on
our loan portfolio decreased 8 basis points to 4.97% in 2020, resulting in a decrease in loan interest income of $1,341,000. The decrease in the tax-effected yield was due to the lower rate environment promoted by the Federal Reserve in 2020

Total interest expense decreased $3,935,000 in 2020 compared to 2019.  The majority of the decrease was due to a decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities of 45 basis points to 0.64%. This decrease resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $5,212,000. The decrease in rates was driven by the Federal Reserve decreasing rates in the second half of 2019 as a result of a slowing

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $1,550,000. The provision for 2021 was $850,000, or 35.4%, lower than the provision in
2020. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily the result of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the economy in 2020 and limited organic growth in 2021 compared to 2020. (see also “Financial Condition – Allowance for
Loan Losses and Credit Quality Risk”).

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $2,400,000. The provision for 2020 was $725,000, or 43.3%, higher than the provision in
2019. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our economy as well as organic growth attributable to the Delaware market primarily in the fourth quarter of 2020 (see

2021 vs. 2020

Non-interest income increased $883,000 in 2021 from 2020, or 7.7%.  We experienced a $212,000 net gain on available for sale securities in 2021 compared to net gains totaling $305,000 in
2020. During 2021, we sold $17.2 million of US treasury securities for a pre-tax gain of $177,000 and $12.0 million of US Agency securities for a pre-tax gain of $35,000 to take advantage of market
conditions at the time of the sales. During 2020, we sold 19 mortgage backed securities for a net gain of $305,000 to lock in gains that benefitted from the Federal Reserve investment purchase
program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2021, net equity security gains amounted to $339,000 as a result of market gains experienced in 2021 compared to losses of $41,000 last year
associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Gains on loans sold decreased $885,000 compared to last year. The decrease in gains on loans sold is attributable to a $20.2 million, or 26.6% decrease in
the proceeds from the sale of residential mortgages loans. The increase in service charges of $534,000 for 2021 is attributable to the Bank’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and an increase in customer spending in 2021 compared to
2020 which was impacted by mandatory stay at home orders as customers ate out less and spent less on discretionary items. The decrease in other income is due to fees on offering derivative contracts for certain customers, that provided the
customer with fixed rate loans, which generated fee income of $494,000 in 2021 compared to $1,373,000 in 2020. The increase in earnings on bank owned life insurance is due to two former employees of
the Company passing during the first quarter of 2021, which generated a death benefit payable to the Company of $1,155,000. The increase in brokerage and insurance commissions was attributable to
growth in our south central and north central, Pennsylvania markets.

2020 vs. 2019

Non-interest income increased $3,036,000 in 2020 from 2019, or 36.2%.  We experienced a $305,000 net gain on available for sale securities in 2020 compared to net gains totaling $24,000 in
2019. During 2020, we sold 19 mortgage backed securities for a net gain of $305,000 to lock in gains that benefitted from the Federal Reserve investment purchase program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During 2019, we sold 3 agency securities for a net gain of $1,000 and 4 US Treasury securities for a gain of $23,000 to fund loan growth and to restructure the investment portfolio to improve
performance in the current rate environment. During 2020, net equity security losses amounted to $41,000 as a result of market losses associated with the Covid-19 pandemic compared to gains of $120,000 in 2019.

Gains on loans sold increased $1,695,000 compared to 2019. The increase in gains on loans sold was attributable to a $54.0 million, or 248.1% increase in
the proceeds from the sale of residential mortgages loans as a result of the low rate environment, which has significantly increased residential refinancings. The decrease in service charges of $466,000 for 2020 is attributable to the
Bank’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in customer spending as a result of mandatory stay at home orders as customers ate out less and spent less on discretionary items. The increase in other income is due to fees on
offering derivative contracts for certain customers, that provided the customer with fixed rate loans, which generated fee income of $1,373,000 in 2020. The increase in brokerage and insurance commissions was primarily attributable to growth in our south central market.

2021 vs. 2020

Non-interest expenses for 2021 totaled $41,550,000, which represents an increase of $703,000, compared to 2020 expenses of $40,847,000. Salaries and
employee benefits increased $1,712,000 or 7.1%. The increase was due to merit increases effective at the beginning of 2021, additional headcount as part of the MidCoast acquisition and servicing the Delaware market and increased profit
sharing expenses due to increased profitability of the Company. Employee commissions related to brokerage and insurance commissions increased due to the increased sales in 2021 compared to 2020.

The increase in occupancy expenses is due to the additional branches acquired as part of the MidCoast acquisition and the Kennett Square branch as they are included for a full year in 2021.
The decrease in merger and acquisition costs was due to costs associated with the MidCoast acquisition that closed in April 2020. The decrease in furniture and fixtures is due to a decrease in non-capitalized items that were purchased in 2020
to support the acquisition. The increase in other expenses is due to charitable contributions made in our south central Pennsylvania and Delaware markets the Delaware franchise tax due to the performance of the Delaware market, advertising
and promotions associated with the Delaware markets.

2020 vs. 2019

Non-interest expenses for 2020 totaled $40,847,000, which represents an increase of $7,506,000, compared to 2019 expenses of $33,341,000. The primary cause of the total increase was the
MidCoast acquisition costs, as well as the additional salaries and benefits costs of the acquired employees. Salary and benefit costs increased $3,734,000, or 18.3%.  Base salaries and related payroll taxes increased $3,081,000 as a result of
merit increases and additional headcount associated with the acquisition. Full time equivalent staffing was 281 and 259 for 2020 and 2019, respectively. Profit sharing expenses increased $829,000 compared to 2019, as a result of the employee
mix and increased profitability, which resulted in higher bonuses to employees.

32

Index

The increase in occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses was due to the additional branches acquired as part of the MidCoast acquisition. The increase in merger and
acquisition expenses was due to costs associated with the MidCoast acquisition that closed in April 2020. The increase in FDIC insurance in 2020 was due to credits received from the FDIC in 2019 as the Deposit Insurance Fund exceeded 1.38% as
well as organic and acquisition growth that occurred in 2020. The increase in software expenses is due to new systems implemented in the second half of 2020 for our tellers and image capture and review.  The largest drivers of the increase in
other expenses was the termination of a pension plan in 2019 for a gain that was acquired as of the FNB acquisition in 2015, ATM and data processing expenses as a result of fraud prevention, contributions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,
supplies for the additional branches and the Delaware franchise fee. The increase in ORE expenses is the result of net losses on the disposal of ORE properties in 2020 compared to a net gain in 2019.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $6,199,000, $5,263,000 and $3,820,000 for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rates for 2021, 2020 and 2019 were 17.6%, 17.3% and 16.4%,
respectively.

The increase in income tax expense of $936,000 in 2021 was due to the increase of $4,951,000 in income before the provision for income taxes, which accounts for an increase in tax expense of
$1,040,000 at a 21% tax rate.

The increase in income tax expense of $1,443,000 in 2020 was due to the increase of $7,056,000 in income before the provision for income taxes, which accounts for an increase in tax expense
of $1,482,000 at a 21% tax rate.

We are involved in five limited partnership agreements that operate low-income housing projects in our market areas, one of which we entered into during 2021. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, we
recognized tax credits related to one of the five partnerships. The 2021 partnership started in 2021 and credits are expected to be available in 2022. Tax credits associated with three of the partnerships were fully utilized by December 2016.
We anticipate recognizing an aggregate of $3.1 million of tax credits over the next twelve years.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $172.8 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $68.7 million at December 31, 2020. Management actively measures and evaluates its liquidity through our
Asset – Liability committee and believes its liquidity needs are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources, Federal Home Loan Bank financing, federal funds lines
with correspondent banks, brokered certificates of deposit and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year.  Management expects that these sources of funds will permit us to meet cash obligations and

2021

The Company’s investment portfolio increased during 2021 by $117.6 million. This growth was fueled by increases in deposits that were driven by customers held more cash
and government stimulus efforts that occurred during 2021. During 2021, we purchased $108.4 million of U.S. Treasuries, $20.6 million of U.S. agencies, $56.6 million of mortgage backed securities, $18.6 million of state and local obligations
and $7.0 million of corporate obligations, which helped to offset the $28.8 million of principal repayments and $26.7 million of calls and maturities that occurred during the year. We also sold $29.2 million of bonds at a net gain of
$212,000. The fair value of our investment portfolio decreased approximately $7.3 million in 2021 due to interest rate fluctuations, net of equity market gains. Excluding our short term investments consisting of monies held primarily at the
Federal Reserve, the effective yield on our investment portfolio for 2021 was 1.96% compared to 2.55% for 2020 on a tax equivalent basis.

Interest rates rose during 2021 in response to shifting expectations for fiscal policy and an enduring pandemic that continued to hamper economic activity, strengthening
and prolonging unusually strong inflationary pressures and altering the expected path of monetary policy. The upper movement in interest rates, however, unfolded across the maturity spectrum at different times during the year. Longer yields
peaked at the end of the first quarter, propelled higher by the rollout of vaccines and expectations for more stimulative fiscal policy. The central bank’s official forecast from March 2021 for rates to remain near zero for the next several
years gave way to a call by December to raise the federal funds target rate range by 1.50% by the end of 2023. Federal funds futures contracts, which began the year flat across the forecast horizon, reflected a presumption for three 25-basis
point rate hikes in 2022 and two more in 2023. The 2-year Treasury yield traded within a range of 0.10% to 0.19% from January 1 through the Federal Reserve’s June 15 meeting, was bounded between 0.17% and 0.27% from mid-June to the September
22 meeting, but climbed steeply in the fourth quarter to 0.73% by year’s end. Along a similar timeline, the 5-year Treasury yield rose from a low of 0.35% in early January to 1.26% by the end of the year. Despite historic inflation readings
in the second half of the year, concerns that the abrupt policy shift by the Federal Reserve to fight inflation raised the risk of a policy error that could disrupt the recovery kept longer yields in check. The 10-year yield failed to eclipse
its March high and finished the year at 1.51%. The timing differences of rate changes across the curve had a noticeable and informative impact on the shape of the curve throughout the year. The spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasury
yields expanded from 0.79% on January 1, 2021 to a peak of 1.58% on March 31, 2021. Stepping lower in stages for the remainder of the year, the spread tightened back to 0.77% by the end of 2021. The investment strategy for 2021 has been to
utilize cashflows from the investment portfolio and deposit inflows to purchase US treasury securities, mortgage backed securities in government sponsored entities and obligations of state and political securities, as well as US agency
securities. The increase in the investment portfolio was in response to growth in deposits that exceeds organic loan opportunities. We continually monitor interest rate trading ranges and try to focus purchases to times when rates are in the
top third of the trading range. The Company believes its investment strategy has appropriately mitigated its interest rate risk exposure if rates rise while providing sufficient cashflows for the Company’s liquidity needs.

At December 31, 2021, the Company did not own any securities, other than government-sponsored and government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, that had an aggregate
book value in excess of 10% of its consolidated stockholders’ equity at that date.

[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

At December 31, 2021, approximately 64.0% of the amortized cost of debt securities is expected to mature, call or pre-pay within five years or less.  The Company expects that earnings from
operations, the levels of cash held at the Federal Reserve and other correspondent banks, the high liquidity level of the available-for-sale securities, growth of deposits and the availability of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and
other third party banks will be sufficient to meet future liquidity needs.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale decreased $10.1 million to $4.6 million as of December 31, 2021 from December 31, 2020. The decrease in loans held for sale was due to the amount of refinancings occurring
due to the low rate environment in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 2021.

Loans

The Bank’s lending efforts have historically focused on north central Pennsylvania and southern New York. With the acquisition of FNB and the opening of offices in
Lancaster County, this focus has grown to include Lebanon, Schuylkill, Berks and Lancaster County markets of south central, Pennsylvania. We have a limited branch office in Union County that is staffed by a lending team to primarily support
agricultural opportunities and offices in State College and Mill Hall to support commercial opportunities in central Pennsylvania, especially Centre and Clinton Counties. In April 2020, we completed the MidCoast acquisition, which expanded
our markets into the State of Delaware with activity centered around the cities of Wilmington and Dover, Delaware. In November of 2020, we opened a branch in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, to further serve customers obtained as part of the
MidCoast acquisition, as well as to expand operations into Chester County, Pennsylvania.

We originate loans primarily through direct loans to our existing customer base, with new customers generated through the strong relationships that our lending teams have
with their customers, as well as by referrals from real estate brokers, building contractors, attorneys, accountants, corporate and advisory board members, existing customers and the Bank’s website.  The Bank offers a variety of loans,
although historically most of our lending has focused on real estate loans including residential, commercial, agricultural, and construction loans.  As of December 31, 2021, approximately 87.1% of our loan portfolio consisted of real estate
loans.  All lending is governed by a lending policy that is developed and administered by management and approved by the Board of Directors.

The Bank primarily offers fixed rate residential mortgage loans with terms of up to 25 years and adjustable rate mortgage loans (with amortization schedules
up to 30 years) with interest rates and payments that adjust based on one, three, five and 15 year fixed periods.  Loan to value ratios are usually 80% or less with exceptions for individuals with excellent credit and low debt to income
and/or high net worth. Adjustable rate mortgages are tied to a margin above the comparable Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh borrowing rate.  Home equity loans are written with terms of up to 15 years at fixed rates.  Home equity
lines of credit are variable rate loans tied to the Prime Rate generally with a ten year draw period followed by a ten year repayment period. Home equity loans are typically written with a maximum 80% loan to value.

35

Index

Commercial real estate loan terms are generally 20 years or less, with one to five year adjustable interest rates.  The adjustable rates are typically tied to a margin
above the comparable Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh borrowing rate with a typical loan to value ratio of 80% or less. During 2021 and 2020, the Bank offered certain customers derivative contracts that allowed the customer to obtain a
fixed interest rate for a period up to 10 years.  Where feasible, the Bank participates in the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) and Small Business Administration (SBA) guaranteed loan programs to offset credit risk and to
further promote economic growth in our market area.

Agriculture is an important industry throughout our market areas. Therefore, the Bank has not only developed an agriculture lending team with significant experience that
has a thorough understanding of this industry, but also continually looks for additional employees with a thorough understanding of agriculture. We have an agricultural loan policy to assist in underwriting agricultural loans.  Agricultural
loans are made to a diversified customer base that include dairy, swine and poultry farmers and their support businesses.  Agricultural loans focus on character, cash flow and collateral, while also considering the particular risks of the
industry.  Loan terms are generally 20 years or less, with one to five year adjustable interest rates.  The adjustable rates are typically tied to a margin above the comparable Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh borrowing rate with a
typical loan to value of less than 80%. We evaluate the financial strength of the integrators we have exposure to with our poultry and swine agricultural customers.  The Bank is a preferred lender under the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA)
and participates in the FSA guaranteed loan program.

The Bank, as part of its commitment to the communities it serves, is an active lender for projects by our local municipalities and school districts. These loans range
from short term bridge financing to 20 year term loans for specific projects. These loans are typically written at rates that adjust at least every five years. Due to the size of certain municipal loans, we have developed participation
lending relationships with other community banks that allow us to meet regulatory compliance issues, while meeting the needs of the customer. At December 31, 2021, the aggregate balance of our participation loans, in which a portion was sold
to other lender’s totaled $157.5 million, of which $90.9 million was sold.

Activity associated with exploration for natural gas in 2021 was slightly higher than 2020. Certain entities drilled new wells and created new pad sites and pipelines,
while other companies only maintained their existing wells. Natural gas prices increased during 2021, but still experienced significant volatility in 2021. While the Bank has loaned to companies that service the exploration activities, the
Bank did not originate any loans to companies performing the actual drilling and exploration activities. Loans made by the Company were to service industry customers which included trucking companies, stone quarries and other support
businesses. We also originated loans to businesses and individuals for restaurants, hotels and apartment rentals that were developed and expanded to meet the housing and living needs of the gas workers. Due to our understanding of the
industry and its cyclical nature, the loans made for natural gas-related activities were originated in a prudent and cautious manner and were subject to specific policies and procedures for lending to these entities, which included lower loan
to value thresholds, shortened amortization periods, and expansion of our monitoring of loan concentrations associated with this activity.

Total loans grew $36.3 million in 2021 and total $1.44 billion at the end of 2021. The primary driver of growth during 2021 was growth in commercial real estate in the Delaware market. This
growth was offset by a decrease in other commercial loans of $39.6 million due to a decrease in PPP loans due to forgiveness and repayments of $30.4 million and $17.6 million in state and political subdivision loans due to customers
refinancing on the bond market due to the low interest rate environment.

Residential real estate loans decreased $814,000 even as refinancing activity remained high in 2021, some of which met the requirements of the secondary market and were subsequently sold.  During 2021, $44.7 million of residential real estate loans were originated for sale on the secondary market, which compares to $88.0 million for 2020.  For loans sold on the secondary market, the Company
recognizes fee income for servicing these sold loans, which is included in non-interest income.

The following table presents the maturity distribution of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2021 (in thousands).  The table does not include any
estimate of prepayments which significantly shorten the average life of all loans and may cause our actual repayment experience to differ from that shown below.  Demand loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity
are reported as due in one year or less.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality Risk

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable future loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The provision for loan losses is charged
against current income.  Loans deemed not collectable are charged-off against the allowance while subsequent recoveries increase the allowance.  The allowance for loan losses was $17,304,000 or 1.20% of total loans as of December 31, 2021 as
compared to $15,815,000 or 1.13% of loans as of December 31, 2020. The $1,489,000 increase is a result of a $1,550,000 provision for loan losses less net charge-offs of $61,000. During 2021, net charge-offs were low with no significant
charge-offs occurring. The following table shows the distribution of the allowance for loan losses and the percentage of loans compared to total loans by loan category (dollars in thousands) as of December 31:

The Company believes it utilizes a disciplined and thorough loan review process based upon its internal loan policy approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.  The purpose of the review is to assess loan
quality, analyze delinquencies, identify problem loans, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general overall economic conditions in the markets served.  An external independent loan review is performed on our commercial
portfolio at least semi-annually for the Company.  The external consultant is engaged to 1) review a minimum of 50%  of the dollar volume of the commercial loan portfolio on an annual basis, 2) new loans originated for over $1.0 million in
the last year, 3) a majority of borrowers with commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million,  4) selected loan relationships over $750,000 which are over 30 days past due, or classified Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, or Loss,
and 5) such other loans which management or the consultant deems appropriate. As part of this review, our underwriting process and loan grading system is evaluated.

Management believes it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of December 31, 2021. However, future adjustments could be required if
circumstances differ substantially from assumptions and estimates used in making the initial determination.  A prolonged downturn in the economy, changes in the economies of various segments of our agricultural and commercial portfolios, high
unemployment rates, significant changes in the value of collateral and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of non-performing assets, charge-offs, loan loss provisions and reduction in
income.  Additionally, bank regulatory agencies periodically examine the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.  The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the allowance for loan losses based upon their judgment of
information available to them at the time of their examination.

On a monthly basis, problem loans are identified and updated primarily using internally prepared past due reports.  Based on data surrounding the collection process of each identified loan, the loan may be added
or deleted from the monthly watch list.  The watch list includes loans graded special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss, as well as additional loans that management may choose to include.  Watch list loans are continually monitored
going forward until satisfactory conditions exist that allow management to upgrade and remove the loan from the watchlist.  In certain cases, loans may be placed on non-accrual status or charged-off based upon management’s evaluation of the
borrower’s ability to pay.  All commercial loans, which include commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, state and political subdivision loans, other commercial loans and other agricultural loans, on non-accrual are evaluated
quarterly for impairment.

Index

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is subject to a formal, quarterly analysis by management of the Company.  In order to better analyze the risks associated with the loan portfolio, the entire
portfolio is divided into several categories.  As stated above, loans on non-accrual status are specifically reviewed for impairment and given a specific reserve, if appropriate.  Loans evaluated and not found to be impaired are included with
other performing loans, by category, by their respective homogenous pools.  Three year average historical loss factors were calculated for each pool and applied to the performing portion of the loan category for each year presented. The
historical loss factors for both reviewed and homogeneous pools are adjusted based upon the following qualitative factors:

As a result of previous loss experiences and other risk factors utilized in determining the allowance, the Bank’s allocation of the allowance does not directly correspond to the actual balances of the loan
portfolio. While commercial and agricultural real estate loans total 69.3% of the loan portfolio at December 31 2021, 74.1% of the allowance is assigned to these portions of the loan portfolio as these loans have more inherent risks than
residential real estate or loans to state and political subdivisions. Residential real estate loans comprise 14.0% of the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2021 and 6.6% of the allowance is assigned to this segment as generally there are less
inherent risks then commercial and agricultural loans.

The Company has worked with customers directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has offered assistance in accordance with regulator guidelines. As a result
of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is engaging in more frequent communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing it to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should
economic conditions worsen, the Company could experience increases in non-performing loans and further increases in its required allowance for loan losses and record additional provision expense. It is possible that the Company’s asset
quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are prolonged.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $1,550,000 which compares to $2,400,000 for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $850,000. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had in 2020 on the national and local economies compared to 2021, as well as a decrease in organic loan growth in 2021 compared to 2020. Non-performing loans decreased $3.6
million from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 with the decrease being primarily due to two customer relationships that paid off a $1.5 million of their relationships and additional relationships that returned to accrual status during
2021. At December 31, 2021, approximately 61.4% of the Bank’s non-performing loans are associated with the following three customer relationships:

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company holds bank owned life insurance policies to offset current and future employee benefit costs. These policies provide the Bank with an asset that generates earnings to partially
offset the current costs of benefits, and eventually (at the death of the insureds) provide partial recovery of cash outflows associated with the benefits.  As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the cash surrender value of the life insurance was
$38.5 million and $32.6 million, respectively. The primary cause of the increase was the Bank purchased $7.8 million of additional insurance during 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company
received proceeds of $3,714,000, which included death benefits of $1,155,000 on two former employees of the Company. The change in cash surrender value, net of purchases and amounts acquired through acquisitions, is recognized in the
results of operations.  The amounts recorded as non-interest income totaled $1,828,000, $695,000 and $623,000 in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively with the increase due to the death benefits received in 2021. The Company evaluates annually
the risks associated with the life insurance policies, including limits on the amount of coverage and an evaluation of the various carriers’ credit ratings.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company restructured its agreements so that any death benefits received from a policy while the insured person is an active employee of the Bank will be split
with the beneficiary of the policy.  Under the restructured agreements, the employee’s beneficiary will be entitled to receive 50% of the net amount at risk from the proceeds. The policies acquired as part of the acquisition of MidCoast are
only for the benefit of the Bank. The net amount at risk is the total death benefit payable less the cash surrender value of the policy as of the date of death. The policies acquired as part of the acquisition of FNB, provide a fixed dollar
benefit for the beneficiary’s’ estate, which is dependent on several factors including whether the covered individual was a Director of FNB or an employee of FNB and their salary level. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, included in other
liabilities on the Consolidated Balance sheet is a liability of $696,000 and $687,000, respectively, for the obligation under the split-dollar benefit agreements.

Other Assets

2021

Other assets increased $3.4 million in 2021 to $22.8 million from $19.4 million in 2020. As a result of derivative transactions for the Company and customers, other assets increased $3.7
million. We extended several leases during the year, which resulted in the right of use asset for facilities increasing $978,000. As a result of the discount rates utilized for the pension plan, a pension asset was recorded of $792,000.  Due
to lower borrowing levels with FHLB of Pittsburgh, regulatory stock decreased $1.3 million during 2021. Foreclosed properties were sold during 2021, which resulted in a decrease to other assets of $656,000 million.

2021

Total deposits increased $247.3 million in 2021, or 15.6%. The driver of the increase was government stimulus funds in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, which included individuals,
businesses and municipalities and all markets of Company. We continue to enhance our cash management services to improve our customer services and to grow deposits through our current customers. Brokered certificates of deposit decreased
$23.8 million as maturing certificates were not replaced in 2021. As a percentage of total deposits, non-interest-bearing deposits totaled 19.5% as of the end of 2021, which compares to 19.1% at the end of 2020. The rates paid on certificates
of deposit by the Company remain competitive with rates paid by our competition.

2020

Total deposits increased $377.7 million in 2020, or 31.2%. The primary driver of the growth was the MidCoast acquisition, in which $208.8 million of deposits were
acquired. The remaining growth was driven by customers holding more cash as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and was experienced across all markets, which was facilitated by various government stimulus plans.  As a percentage of total
deposits, non-interest-bearing deposits totaled 19.1% as of the end of 2020, which compares to 16.9% at the end of 2019. As a result of market conditions in the first half of 2020, we issued long term brokered CD’s and had a balance of $23.8
million of brokered CD’s outstanding as of December 31, 2020 compared to $15.0 million as of December 31, 2019.

Borrowed Funds

2021

Borrowed funds decreased $14.9 million during 2021 as a result of maturities and prepayments that occurred in 2021 that were not replaced due to deposit
growth in 2021. Short term borrowings from the FHLB remained steady and totaled $25.0 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Long term borrowings from the FHLB decreased $26.8 million and total $14.7 million. Term loans from the
FHLB totaled $14.7 million and $41.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in term loans was due to $21.8 million of term loans maturing during 2021 and prepaying an additional $5.0 million of term loans during
2021. In the second quarter of 2021, we issued $10.0 million of subordinated notes. (see Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information).  Management continually monitors
interest rates in order to minimize interest rate risk in future years and as part of this may extend some of the short term borrowings via term notes. The Bank has five interest rate swap agreements
outstanding to convert floating-rate debt to fixed rate debt on notional amounts of $15.0 million, $10.0 million and three agreements of $6.0 million. The $15.0 million and $10.0 million were originated on April 1, 2020 and expire on April
1, 2025 and April 1, 2027. The three $6.0 million agreements originated on May 14, 2020 with a two year forward start date and expire on May 14, 2027, 2029 and 2032 The Company has an interest rate swap agreement outstanding that was
entered into on April 13, 2020, to convert floating-rate debt to fixed rate debt on a notional amount of $7.5 million. The interest rate swap agreement expires on June 17, 2027.  The interest rate swap instruments involve an agreement to
receive a floating rate and pay a fixed rate, at specified intervals, calculated on the agreed-upon notional amounts. The differentials paid or received on interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense in
the period. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2021 was $ 1,910,000 and is included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Other Liabilities

2021

Other liabilities increased $1.8 million to $20.5 million during 2021. We extended several leases during the year, which resulted in the right of use asset for facilities increasing $971,000.
As a result of derivative transactions for the Company and customers, other liabilities increased $1.1 million. As a result of the discount rates utilized for the pension plan, the pension liability decreased $773,000. Employee benefit
accruals, including profit sharing increased $624,000.

Stockholders’ Equity

We evaluate stockholders’ equity in relation to total assets and the risk associated with those assets. The greater our capital resources, the greater the likelihood of meeting our cash
obligations and absorbing unforeseen losses.  For these reasons, capital adequacy has been, and will continue to be, of paramount importance.  Due to its importance, we develop a capital plan and stress test capital levels using various
techniques and assumptions annually to ensure that in the event of unforeseen circumstances, we would remain in compliance with our capital plan approved by the Board of Directors and regulatory requirement levels.

Our Board of Directors determines our cash dividend rate after considering our capital requirements, current and projected net income, and other factors. In 2021 and 2020, the Company paid
out 25.36% and 29.32% of net income in cash dividends, respectively.

44

Index

As of December 31, 2021, the total number of common shares outstanding was 3,944,420. For comparative purposes, outstanding shares for prior periods were adjusted for the June 2021 stock
dividend in computing earnings and cash dividends per share as detailed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements. During 2021, we purchased 23,390 shares of treasury stock at a weighted average cost of $58.74 per share. The Company
awarded 4,660 shares of restricted stock to employees at a weighted average cost per share of $60.73 under an equity incentive plan. The Board of Directors was awarded 1,800 shares at a cost of $60.90 per share under an incentive plan.

2021

Stockholders’ equity increased 9.4% in 2021 to $212.5 million.  Excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity increased
$21.0 million, or 10.9%., Net income for 2021 was $29.1 million, offset by net cash dividends of $7,383,000 and net treasury stock activity of $934,000. All of the Company’s debt investment securities are classified as
available-for-sale, making this portion of the Company’s balance sheet more sensitive to the changing market value of investments. Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $2,742,000 from December 31, 2020, primarily as result of the
decrease in the fair market value of the investment portfolio. Total stockholders’ equity was approximately 9.9% of total assets as of December 31, 2021, compared to 10.27% of total assets as of December 31, 2020.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to efficiently meet normal cash flow requirements of both borrowers and depositors. Liquidity is needed to meet depositors’ withdrawal demands,
extend credit to meet borrowers’ needs, provide funds for normal operating expenses and cash dividends, and fund future capital expenditures.

To maintain proper liquidity, we use funds management policies along with our investment and asset liability policies to assure we can meet our financial obligations to depositors, credit
customers and stockholders.  Management monitors liquidity by reviewing loan demand, investment opportunities, deposit pricing and the cost and availability of borrowing funds. Additionally, the bank has established various limits and ratios
to monitor liquidity. On a quarterly basis, we stress test our liquidity position to ensure that the Bank has the capability of meeting its cash flow requirements in the event of unforeseen circumstances. The Company’s historical activity in
this area can be seen in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows from investing and financing activities.

Cash generated by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities influences liquidity management. The most important source of funds is the deposits that are primarily
core deposits (deposits from customers with other relationships). Short-term debt from the Federal Home Loan Bank supplements the Company’s availability of funds as well as a line of credit arrangement with a corresponding bank.  Other
sources of short-term funds include brokered CDs and the sale of loans, if needed.

The Company’s use of funds is shown in the investing activity section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, where the net loan activity is detailed. Other significant uses of funds are
capital expenditures, purchase of loans and acquisition premiums. Surplus funds are then invested in investment securities.

Capital expenditures, including software purchases in 2021 totaled $1,105,000, which included:

We expect these expenditures will support our initiatives and will create operating efficiencies, while providing quality customer service.  

In addition to the Bank’s cash balances, the Bank achieves additional liquidity primarily from its investment in the FHLB of Pittsburgh and the resulting borrowing capacity obtained through
this investment, investments that mature in less than one year and expected principal repayments from mortgage backed securities.  The Bank has a maximum borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of
approximately $756.2 million, inclusive of any outstanding amounts, as a source of liquidity.  The Bank also has two federal funds line with third party providers in the total amount of $34.0 million as of December 31, 2021, which is
unsecured and a borrower in custody agreement was established with the FRB in the amount of $1.1 million, which is collateralized by $1.7 million of municipal loans.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity.  In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying
any dividends declared to its shareholders.  The Company also has repurchased shares of its common stock.  The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank.  The Bank may not declare a dividend without approval of
the FRB, unless the dividend to be declared by the Bank’s Board of Directors does not exceed the total of:  (i) the Bank’s net profits for the current year to date, plus (ii) its retained net profits for the preceding two current years, less
any required transfers to surplus.  In addition, the Bank can only pay dividends to the extent that its retained net profits (including the portion transferred to surplus) exceed its bad debts.  The FRB, the OCC, the PDB and the FDIC have
formal and informal policies which provide that insured banks and bank holding companies should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings, with some exceptions.  The Prompt Corrective Action Rules, described above,
further limit the ability of banks to pay dividends, because banks which are not classified as well capitalized or adequately capitalized may not pay dividends and no dividend may be paid which would make the Bank undercapitalized after the
dividend.  At December 31, 2021, the Company (unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $15.0 million.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are not recorded in our financial
statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, unused
lines of credit and letters of credit. For information about our loan commitments, unused lines of credit and letters of credit, see Note 16 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to maintain an appropriate balance between the stable growth of income and the risks associated with maximizing income through
interest sensitivity imbalances and the market value risk of assets and liabilities.

Because of the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk and, since the Company has no trading portfolio, it is not subject to trading
risk.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had equity securities that represent only 0.6% of our investment portfolio, and therefore market risk related to equity securities is not significant.

The primary factors that make assets interest-sensitive include adjustable-rate features on loans and investments, loan repayments, investment maturities and money market investments. The
primary components of interest-sensitive liabilities include maturing certificates of deposit, IRA certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements and short-term borrowings. Savings deposits, NOW accounts and money market investor accounts,
with the exception of top interest tier money market and NOW accounts, are considered core deposits and are not short-term interest sensitive and therefore are included in the table below in the over five year column.  Top interest tier money
market and NOW accounts are included in the table below in the within three month column. Borrowings subject to swap arrangements are included in the table below based on the swap arrangement maturity.

The following table shows the cumulative static gap (at amortized cost) for various time intervals (dollars in thousands):

The previous table and the simulation models discussed below are presented assuming money market investment accounts and NOW accounts in the top interest rate tier are re-priced within the
first three months. The loan amounts reflect the principal balances expected to be re-priced as a result of contractual amortization and anticipated early payoffs.

Gap analysis, one of the methods used by us to analyze interest rate risk, does not necessarily show the precise impact of specific interest rate movements on the Bank’s net interest income
because the re-pricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competition and other pressures. In addition, assets and liabilities within the same period may, in fact, be repaid at different times and at
different rate levels. We have not experienced the kind of earnings volatility that might be indicated from gap analysis.

Index

The Bank currently uses a computer simulation model to better measure the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income. We use the model as part of our risk management and asset
liability management processes that we believe will effectively identify, measure, and monitor the Bank’s risk exposure.  In this analysis, the Bank examines the results of movements in interest rates with additional assumptions made
concerning the timing of interest rate changes, prepayment speeds on mortgage loans and mortgage securities and deposit pricing movements.   Shock scenarios, which assume a parallel shift in interest rates and is instantaneous, typically have
the greatest impact on net interest income. The following is a rate shock analysis and the impact on net interest income as of December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["Changes in Rates","","Prospective One-Year Net Interest Income","","","Change in Prospective Net Interest Income","","","% Change in Prospective Net Interest Income"],["-100 Shock","","","61,171","","","","(1,093",")","","","(1.76",")"],["Base","","","62,264","","","","-","","","","-"],["+100 Shock","","","62,260","","","","(4",")","","","(0.01",")"],["+200 Shock","","","63,644","","","","1,380","","","","2.22"],["+300 Shock","","","64,512","","","","2,248","","","","3.61"],["+400 Shock","","","65,184","","","","2,920","","","","4.69"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

The model makes estimates, at each level of interest rate change, regarding cash flows from principal repayments on loans and mortgage backed securities, call activity of other investment
securities, and deposit selection, re-pricing and maturity structure.  Because of these assumptions, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates which would result in significant differences in the calculated projected
change on net interest income. Additionally, the changes above do not necessarily represent the level of change under which management would undertake specific measures to realign its portfolio in order to reduce the projected level of
change. The projections above utilize a static balance sheet and do not include any changes that may result from the growth of the Bank. Management has developed policy limits for acceptable changes in net interest income for multiple
scenarios, including shock scenarios. As of December 31, 2021, changes in net interest income projected for all scenarios, including the shock scenarios noted above are in line with Bank policy limits for interest rate risk.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES; CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 The Company’s accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported.  The accounting policies are described in detail in Note 1 of
the consolidated financial statements.  Our most complex accounting policies require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies.  We have established detailed policies and control
procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period.   In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs
in an appropriate manner.  The following is a brief description of our current accounting policies involving significant management valuation judgments and critical accounting estimates.

Other than Temporary Impairment

All securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary and is a matter of judgment.  For debt securities, management considers whether
the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security’s amortized cost basis (the difference defined as the credit loss), the magnitude and duration of the decline, the reasons underlying the decline and the
Company’s intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value, to determine whether the loss in value is other than
temporary. Once a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, if the Company does not intend to sell the security, and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be required to sell the security, before recovery of the
security’s amortized cost basis, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of credit loss. Any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost (the difference defined as the non-credit portion) is recognized in other
comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Otherwise, the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost is charged to earnings.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Arriving at an adequate level of allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of
known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

Index

Management uses historical information to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as well as the prevailing business environment; as it is affected by changing economic
conditions and various external factors, which may impact the portfolio in ways currently unforeseen.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, subjecting the
Bank to volatility of earnings.  The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged-off and reduced by loans charged-off.  For a full discussion of the Company’s methodology of assessing the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, refer to Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As discussed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs an evaluation of goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying
value. Based on the fair value of the reporting unit, no impairment of goodwill was recognized in 2021, 2020 or 2019.

Pension Benefits

Pension costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts.  These assumptions include discount rates, benefits earned, interest costs, expected return on
plan assets, mortality rates, and other factors.  In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded
obligation of future periods.  While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect the Company’s pension obligations and future expense.  Our pension
benefits are described further in Note 11 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Deferred Tax Assets

We use an estimate of future earnings to support our position that the benefit of our deferred tax assets will be realized. If future income should prove non-existent or less than the amount
of the deferred tax assets within the tax years to which they may be applied, the asset may not be realized and our net income will be reduced. Management also evaluates deferred tax assets to determine if it is more likely than not that the
deferred tax benefit will be utilized in future periods.  If not, a valuation allowance is recorded.  Our deferred tax assets are described further in Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. As of acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are
measured at fair value and recognized separately from goodwill. Results of operations of the acquired entities are included in the consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition. The calculation of intangible assets including
core deposits and the fair value of loans are based on significant judgements. Core deposits intangibles are calculated using a discounted cash flow model based on various factors including discount rate, attrition rate, interest rate, cost
of alternative funds and net maintenance costs.

Loans acquired in connection with acquisitions are recorded at their acquisition-date fair value with no carryover of related allowance for credit losses. Any allowance
for loan loss on these pools reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately are not to be received). Determining the fair value of the acquired loans
involves estimating the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest. Management considers a number of factors in evaluating the acquisition-date fair
value including the remaining life of the acquired loans, delinquency status, estimated prepayments, payment options and other loan features, internal risk grade, estimated value of the underlying collateral and interest rate environment.
