To Our Shareholders, Customers, and Friends:

2014 was our year of the job creator. The fuel for 
business growth derives from two valuable resources: 
people and cash. An analysis of our loan portfolios 
offers deep insights into the men and women who 
depend on us to grow their businesses. These smart 
people bring their ideas to market, manufacture better 
products, create software, advance our healing, make 
the environment safer, and invest in local businesses.

While news headlines may 
portend that mergers and 
acquisitions are rendering 
community banks obsolete 
or uncompetitive, Centric 
Bank has experienced the 
exact opposite reality. We 
have not only withstood 
the M&A threat; we are 
providing solutions for small 
businesses that no other 
institution is delivering. We 
continue to grow in assets, 
organic loans, small business 
customers, lending services, 
SBA loans, and fee income.  
Our customers consider that 
Smart banking. We consider 
our accessibility, knowledge, 
and resources as fuel for 
Smarter business growth.

DonalD E. EnDErs, Jr.
Chairman of the Board

Patricia a. Husic
President & CEO

Ninety percent of U.S. banks are under $1 billion in 
assets, but community banks remain the chief funding 
source for most of the small business economy. 

Centric Bank was formed in 2007 to take business 
and community growth to the next competitive level. 
Our financial centers are strategically located in 
neighborhoods, so we can develop strong personal 
relationships with our customers, serve their walk-in 

banking needs, meet in person or online to explain  
loan and savings opportunities, and provide courier 
and concierge services when needed.

From our side of the lending desk, we have the 
privilege of a deep dive into the small business fabric 
of central Pennsylvania. Building and nurturing 
healthy communities requires strong financial 
partnerships with people who care. It has been our 
privilege these past seven years to be their economic 
pipeline.

We have sustained growth through the most 
challenging years in recent U.S. economic history, 
and we’re proud to once again be a leader in organic 
loan growth and champion the respect and value of 
American banking.

SBA lending continued to be a strategic initiative for 
the Centric team. In 2014, we originated $7.2 million 
in financing. For the third consecutive year, Centric 
Bank was an SBA lending leader in the Philadelphia 
region. 

Another key strategy is increasing non-interest 
income from our mortgage division by selling these 
loans on the secondary market. During 2014, we sold 
over $11 million in loans which corresponded to 
$181,165 in gross fee income. 

Net income after taxes totaled $1,230,000 as 
compared to $436,000 in 2013; an increase of 182% or 
$794,000. The significant increase in net income was 
attributed to our loan growth and improvement of the 
loan-to-deposit ratio to 91% at year-end from 85.9% 
in the prior period. We continued efforts to reduce 
our cost of funds from .86% to .72%. The provision 
for loan losses also decreased by $953,000 due to the 
low level of delinquencies and non-performing assets. 
We continued to focus on risk management and our

asset quality. Heightened processes and procedures 
were implemented to consistently determine 
risk ratings assigned to our credit facilities, and a 
corresponding pricing matrix was developed to apply 
a disciplined approach to pricing credit facilities.

At the end of 2014, our delinquency ratio for loans 
30-89 days decreased from .93% to .72%. Centric 
compared favorably to the Pennsylvania delinquency 
average of 2.04% and nationally at 1.96%. Further 
indications of our diligent collection and risk 
management efforts are the continued decline of our 
past-due loans greater than 90 days and non-accrual 
loans of $761,758 in 2014, as compared to $1,524,508 
for the previous period. 

Our Derry Township financial center reached 
profitability after serving the community for just 
16 months. A typical benchmark for a new office is 
36 months to break even or achieve profitability. At 
the end of 2014, this location attracted $40 million 
in gross loans and $26 million in deposits and is 
contributing positively to our bottom line. 

Centric continued to lead in organic loan growth by 
funding $78.7 million in new loans during the year. 
The median loan growth for 2014 was 5.16% for all 
banks in the state, as compared to Centric’s robust 
10.3% level.

Our financial highlights as of December 31, 2014, are 
as follows:

n   Return on equity increased from 2.96% at year-end 

2013 to 7.87%;

n   Return on assets increased from .14% to .40%.

In addition to the positive trends in every service 
area, we are continuously strengthening our brand 
through sponsorships, social media engagement, 
community event participation, panel presentations, 
national recognitions, women in business initiatives, 
and a keen eye on performance.

One of the best visual indicators of economic growth 
is the increase in FINANCED BY CENTRIC BANK 
signs dotting business properties throughout central 
Pennsylvania. Ending the year with an exclamation 
point, we embarked on a Stock Offering with a goal 
of $4 million. After conversations and presentations 
sharing the Centric Bank passion and purpose, we 
reached $5.1 million and have a Waiting List of 
investors. Every individual responded to our story 
of the early beginnings, regulatory challenges, no-
turning-back ethos, and sense of spirited momentum. 
Signaling unanimous support and personal 
investment, Centric Bank’s executive team and board 
of directors display their confidence with a 100% 
participation in stock ownership.

With a rewarding 2014 behind us, we’re emboldened 
in our mission to Be the Difference Maker, creating 
growth and goodwill with every customer and in 
every community we serve.

“ to be successful, you have 
to have your heart in your 
business, and your business  
in your heart.” 

T h o m a s   W aT s o n , Sr., CEO, IBM 1914-1956

We founded Centric Bank in 2007 from a shared 
vision that a community bank could Be the 
Difference Maker for the men and women who 
power the GDP. Not surprisingly to us, each year 
we have seen our investment in small businesses 
truly make a difference in our community. We 
believe in their dreams, aspirations, and potential. 
Indeed, we have committed our today and 
tomorrow to provide every resource to support 
these job creators. 

We’re proud of our business clients, our customers, 
our shareholders, and our employees. Focused on 
the long game, we have never sacrificed the trust 
of our stakeholders at the feet of next quarter’s 
earnings expectations. We believe that “trust 
is relational; it’s not transactional. Everything 
an organization does is done with, by, for, and 
through people. Trust cannot be legislated, bought, 
or downloaded.Ӡ Driven by these principles, we 
have experienced growth in every service sector.

† Keith Darcy, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Executive Director of  
the Ethics and Compliance Association

smart Banking

2014 was a year of Smart banking and Smarter 
business growth for our customers. Balancing risk 
and potential, we made smart decisions on who to 
invest in; we hired smart team members who are 
socially engaged and professionally networked; 
and we helped smart borrowers grow and reach 
new milestones because of the capital we infused in 
their endeavors. 

There are nearly 200,000 businesses in southcentral 
Pennsylvania with an annual GDP of $13.5 billion. 
We’re honored to be a key financing partner in this 
new wave of entrepreneurial and business growth. 
In the last quarter of 2014, we saw 70-75 percent 
of the loan volume derived from new business 
startups, construction or commercial properties, 
and equipment purchasing. Every commercial 
mortgage triggers a series of economic investments 
that far exceeds the mortgage amount—these 
investments put people to work. What does it 
mean to contribute to a business dream and Be the 
Difference Maker?

“Without Centric Bank’s resources and business 
guidance, I would not have been able to navigate 
the path to commercial property ownership 
as seamlessly as I did. Kristel Zaring not only 
kept me informed every step of the process, but 
she prepared me for eventualities, unexpected

scenarios, and regulatory requirements. There are 
so many moving parts in a property purchase—
and an overwhelming sense of vulnerability for 
the business owner—that it’s critical to choose a 
banking partner who truly works for you. I asked 
myself, Do I trust them to help me take my dream 
to the next level? The answer is in the Financing 
By Centric Bank sign declaring my trust to the 
12,000 cars that pass my new building every day,” 
says Anne Deeter Gallaher, Owner/CEO, Deeter 
Gallaher Group LLC.

The goal for every business borrower, customer, 
and shareholder is financial growth—and that’s our 
goal as well. Now in our eighth year, we continue 
to believe every dollar invested in us represents a 
strategic business decision to grow with us. How 
you created your business wealth and why you 
chose to trust us is our narrative, and this story is 
critical to our long-term growth.

Significant efforts were made in securing our 
digital tattoo and strengthening omnichannel 
messaging. Whether a customer meets us on 
Twitter, in a video, at a conference, on Facebook, or 
at a loan appointment, We Revolve Around You. 

Smart banking for us culminated in the decision  
to declare a Stock Offering in the fourth quarter. 
“The new capital raised will provide new 
opportunities for us to capture a larger portion of 
the business and health care services market and 
develop deeper business banking services in our 
central Pennsylvania communities,” says President 
& CEO Patti Husic.

Specifically, Centric Bank will use the investment 
to fund an expanded lending team, open loan 
production offices in new markets, bolster 
mortgage capacity, and increase access to capital 
for business borrowers.

After several public presentations to influencers in 
the region and many personal conversations with 
health care professionals, women business owners, 
and Mid-Atlantic investors, one point was very 
clear: Our entrepreneurial spirit and local lending 
commitment resonates with investors.

We’re undergoing our biggest expansion in 

Appalachian Brewing Company’s 18-year 

history.  With seven central Pennsylvania 

brewpubs and two bottling plants, ABC has 

big-bank demands that Centric Bank easily 
supplies. We are fortunate to have a 

successful local bank with in-house financing 

expertise plus all the other services. From 

branch staff to upper management, we enjoy 

working with Centric. Thanks for helping us 

grow this far, and we look forward to an 

amazing future. Cheers!

a contagious community spirit

Before we were shovel-ready at each of our four 
financial centers, we volunteered at local events 
and sponsored service organizations. We believe 
actions speak louder than marketing slogans in 
demonstrating genuine social responsibility. 

One group of our employees volunteered to 
prepare the food for the families at the Ronald 
McDonald House. “Sometimes helping in 
simple ways proves to be the most appreciated 
service,” says Leslie Meck, SVP, Chief Retail 
Officer. “Preparing and serving a hot meal and 
just listening and laughing is good medicine for 
families struggling with very difficult medical 
concerns. We wanted them to know they’re not 
alone.”

Demonstrating Centric Bank’s industry leadership 
on a national and global level, Husic was 
recognized by American Banker as #7 on their elite 
list of Women to Watch in U.S. Banking. Most 
notable was the bank’s outsized influence, strong 
organic loan growth, diversity in the management 
team, and human capital expansion. 

c e n t r i c   f i n a n c i a l   c o r p o r a t i o n

We reached $5.1 million in our capital raise, 
exceeding our goal of $4 million. When the Central 
Penn Business Journal reported our stock offering 
achievement, several business owners contacted 
us to invest. It was difficult to decline their earnest 
desire to join us in this journey, but knowing 
we have a Waiting List further demonstrates the 
community’s trust in our tomorrow. 

 Over 70 percent of our new investors are customers 
of Centric Bank. Their vote of confidence 
reaffirmed the desire and necessity for them to 
partner with a locally owned, locally loaned bank. 
Centric Bank vaunts 100 percent participation in 
stock ownership by the leadership team and its 
Board of Directors.

From the very beginning when Centric Bank 

established its presence in Camp Hill, I knew 

they’d be different from the typical bank.  

Patti Husic and Vickie Broughton were so 

supportive and involved in the community. 

When I acquired Chemical Solutions, my first 

step was connecting with Centric Bank.   

No one enjoys switching banks, but Centric 

walked me through the process and made it 

easy.  Besides the products that help my 

business run more smoothly—ACH, remote 

Deposit, and Merchant Services—Mark 

Holst’s personal attention made the transition 

simple. When we’ve needed loans and lines, 

Vickie, Jeff Myers, and Don Bonafede made 

the process smooth and straightforward.

Without the intentional and generous support 
of many businesses, communities would simply 
be unable to provide the level of services and 
security that their residents rely on. The Return on 
Relationship from our sponsorships generated new 
customers, digital influence, and media mentions.

smarter Business Growth

In 2014, Centric Bank grew home equity, 
residential construction and bridge loans, and 
residential mortgages to $11.3 million. Residential 
mortgages originated and sold on the secondary 
market totaled $11.5 million. Our funding was 
critical to municipalities, foundations, school 
districts, construction companies, doctors, 
dentists, and attorneys.

We improved financial performance and 
expense management, operating efficiencies, risk 
assessments, and investments of sponsorships 
and leadership in the communities we serve. 
Our enhanced risk-rating process provides a 
consistent approach to analyzing financial metrics 
and evaluating the intangibles and management 
experience. To complement the risk-rating process, 
we developed a pricing matrix that correlates with 
the risk rating. This ensures a consistent approach 
to loan product pricing and allows us to be 
appropriately compensated for the risk we assume.

We redoubled Corporate Social Responsibility 
efforts with a significant investment in technology 
that frees us to be paperless—this includes 
scanning and imaging documents, imaging loan 
files and deposit account documents, accounts 
payable, and human resources data. Smarter 
business growth means we take our environmental 
impact seriously and reduce energy and natural 
resource use wherever possible.

GeoServices was looking for a bank which 

would consistently provide the person-to-

person banking relationship we 

need. Historically, we have banked with locally 

owned institutions, but as these merged and 

were absorbed, we found ourselves in 

banking relationships that didn’t meet our 

needs.  I had worked with Centric Bank in the 

financing of the stadium upgrades for Camp 

Hill Borough and was impressed with the 

professional relationships they developed and 

with the Bank’s commitment to the 

community. When GeoServices approached 

Centric and began working with them, it was 

like a homecoming with old friends. We truly 

appreciate Centric’s understanding of our 

banking and business needs and are happy to 

have made the change.

After 20+ years in business and investing,  

I finally connected with a community bank 

that truly understands the meaning of 

relationship banking. This is a locally owned 

bank with community-minded professionals 

from the top down. I wish to thank Mike 

Watson and the entire commercial lending 

team for a job well done. It’s refreshing to 

work with decisive, flexible lenders who have 

decision-making ability. They quickly 

recognized what we brought to the table and 

structured multiple commercial loans that 

exceeded our expectations. They made it 

easy for us to make the transition to Centric 

Bank. I look forward to growing our business 

and portfolio with Centric. They are a true 

partner who shares our vision and forward-

thinking outlook.

Doctor centric Bank

Leading a bank has at least one commonality with 
running a medical practice: communities need our 
services to stay healthy. We provide financial good 
health, and our health care customers provide 
services for physical good health.

Health care professionals and medical practices 
have highly specialized financial needs and desire 
convenience, access to capital, and a smooth, 
uncomplicated borrowing process. They balance 
practice growth amid a morass of government 
regulations. Founded in 2012, Doctor Centric 
Bank has been meeting the needs of doctors, 
dentists, surgeons, medical technologists, and 
professionals who need concierge banking services 
with up to 100 percent practice financing for  
buy-ins, buy-outs, equipment, SBA loans, and 
leasing solutions.

Our team of business lenders and banking leaders 
understands the economic challenges professionals 
face and brings more than 250 years of combined 
finance experience providing cash and capital 
for growing medical service providers. “We are 
financial first responders to more than 40 health 
professional clients. In 2014, we originated $4.6 
million in loans to this niche of community 
servants and have been able to offer a full suite 
of financial services—equipment leasing, new 
construction, infrastructure financing, and cash 
management services,” says Husic.

As a private banker, we deliver the power of 
financial resources directly to the office, at the 
hospital, at home, or at one of our nearby financial 
centers.

This convenience means more time to concentrate 
on giving patients the best possible care, and less 
worry about cash and capital to grow their practice.

With our busy life, we really appreciate 

service that accommodates our schedule, 

and Paul Zwally’s readiness to meet us after 

hours provided the flexibility we needed. The 

process for the executive line of credit was 

fantastic, and the customized solution of 

loans and lines allowed us to realize our 

dream home.  The entire staff at the Derry 

Township office has been super helpful 

whenever we needed something, and they 

were part of an overall wonderful 

experience.

After 14 years as an associate dentist, I was 

looking to start my own practice and Centric 

Bank helped me fulfill that dream.  When I 

was ready to buy land and start building my 

practice, my construction company partner 

referred me to Doctor Centric Bank.  Their 

anytime-anywhere availability; their 

concierge services; and their knowledge and 

uncommon interest in my project has made 

my growth easy and uncomplicated.  They 

recommended an SBA loan and provided me 

with 100 percent financing. By working with 

local lenders, I was able to build relationships 

with people in the bank as well as with other 

businesses in the community.

on the horizon

Preparing for the next Stock Offering slated for 
mid-year 2015, Centric Bank is securing their 
ticker symbol and will be listed on the OTC 
Exchange.

“We are steadily removing any barrier for potential 
customers to bank with us and invest in us,” says 
Husic. “With every relationship, we are restoring 
the respect and value of a true banking partner. 
Reputation is priceless, and we are proud of our 
expert teams and our diversity in experience, 
gender, and service offering.”

We continue to build our brand both in-person and 
online. If “first knowledge” is power, then our social 
media conversations will help every customer do 
more and better business. A Google search reveals 
our strategic content and branding on Twitter, 
Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Understanding 
the power of building an online community, CEO 
Patti Husic was recognized by the Independent 
Community Bankers of America for leadership in 
digital media.

2014 was the perfect launch for 2015’s high-
performance start. Our goals are laser-focused 
on organic loan growth, new commercial lending 
and mortgage teams, SBA loan expansion, and 
steady increases in fee income. For the young 
entrepreneur, the woman-owned business,  
the veteran or family business owner, and the 
medical practitioner, Centric Bank is your fuel  
for Smart banking. Smarter business growth.

report on the consolidated Financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Centric Financial Corporation and subsidiary 
which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 and 2013; the related consolidated statements 
of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended; and 
the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

management’s responsibility for the consolidated Financial statements

Management  is  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  these  consolidated  financial  statements  in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, 
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated 
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

auditor’s responsibility

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial  statements  based  on  our  audits.  
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 
Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the 
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements.  The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditor’s  judgment,  including  the 
assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  fraud  or 
error.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  
and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate 
in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  entity’s  internal 
control.  Accordingly,  we  express  no  such  opinion.  An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of 
accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  significant  accounting  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  
as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our  
audit opinion.

opinion

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
financial position of Centric Financial Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results 
of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1  |  Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations 
Centric Financial Corporation (“Centric”) or (“the Company”) is a financial holding company which includes its 
wholly owned subsidiary, Centric Bank (“the Bank”).

The Bank entails virtually all of Centric’s ongoing operations. The Bank offers customers a range of deposit, loan, 
and other services typical of community banks through four offices in south central Pennsylvania and online banking 
channels. The Bank’s principal source of revenue emanates from interest income from its portfolio of commercial and 
residential real estate loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans, as well as from its investment portfolio.

Centric is subject to regulation and supervision of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Basis of Presentation 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States of America. The accounts of Centric and the Bank are consolidated with the elimination of all inter company 
transactions and balances.

Estimates 
Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
income and expense, and the nature and extent of disclosures. Ultimate results could differ significantly from those 
estimates and assumptions. Centric’s material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the 
near term relate to the valuation of loans, the allowances for loan and other credit losses, other-than-temporary 
impairment evaluations of securities, evaluation of goodwill impairment, deferred tax valuation, and fair value of 
financial instruments.

In the ordinary course of business, Centric and the Bank are parties to legal proceedings that entail uncertainty. In 
management’s opinion, Centric’s financial position and results of operations would not be materially impacted by the 
outcome of such proceedings individually or in the aggregate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents with original maturities of 90 days or less include cash, balances due from banks, interest-
bearing demand deposits in other banks, and federal funds sold. Federal funds sold are generally for one-day periods. 
The Bank has been required to maintain average balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank is engaged in a 
deposit reclassification program that evaluates the unused balance of transaction accounts. The unused portion is 
then reclassified as a non-transaction account. This allows the Bank to reclaim the balances held at the Federal Reserve 
Bank for investment or operating use. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia approved the use of this program for 
Centric Bank. The required minimum balance was $222,000 and $167,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Credit Risk Concentrations 
As a community bank, most of the Bank’s loans and credit commitments are comprised of Pennsylvania customers, 
primarily individuals and entities situated in Dauphin and Cumberland counties.

Securities 
Investment securities are classified when purchased as either “securities available for sale” or “securities held to maturity.” 
Securities classified as “available for sale” are those debt securities that the Bank intends to hold for an indefinite period 
of time but not necessarily to maturity, and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses are included in other

c e n t r i c   f i n a n c i a l   c o r p o r a t i o n

Note 1  |  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains and losses on disposition of securities are 
recognized as noninterest income measured on specific identification of the simple difference between net proceeds 
and adjusted book value. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over 
the terms of the securities.

Securities classified as “held to maturity” are those debt securities the Bank has both the intent and ability to hold to 
maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs, or changes in general economic conditions. These 
securities are carried at cost adjusted for the amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the 
interest method over the terms of the securities.

Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment based upon a number of factors, including, 
but not limited to, the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost, the financial condition 
of the underlying issuer, the ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations, the likelihood of the security’s ability 
to recover any decline in its market value, and whether or not management intends to sell the security or whether it 
is more likely than not that they 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. A decline in value that is considered to be other than 
temporary is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Loans 
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are 
stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of any allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or 
costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.

The Bank has expanded its loan activity to include Lease Financing for commercial customers to purchase equipment 
or vehicles. Leases are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of any deferred costs, residual 
receivable and unearned income. Lease contracts are classified as direct finance leases. Lessees guarantee 100 percent of 
the leases’ residual value at the conclusion of the lease term.

Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield 
(interest income) of the related loans. The Bank is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the 
loan.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 
90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though 
the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either 
guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the 
current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for loan losses. 
Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, 
according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status 
when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable 
period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Note 1  |  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income as losses are
estimated to have occurred. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses,
and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be
reasonably anticipated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on known and
inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value
of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other relevant
factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, since it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to
significant change.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are
classified as Substandard or Special Mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is
established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is
lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on
historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be
unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the original contractual
terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment
status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans
that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking
into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay,
the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the
principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans
by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

Purchased loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration for which it is probable at purchase that all
contractually required payments will not be collected are acquired with deteriorated credit quality. Centric accounts
for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial
investment in loans acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality.
Centric records impaired loans at fair value and did not carry over valuation allowances in the initial accounting for
loans acquired in a transfer, including loans acquired in a purchase business combination. The excess of cash flows
expected at purchase over the purchase price is recognized as interest income over the life of the loans. Subsequent
increases in cash flows expected to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s
yield over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairments.

Unfunded Credit Commitments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such
financial instruments are recorded when funded. A reserve for unfunded lending commitments under contract, lines
and letter of credit, is included in other liabilities.

Note 1  |  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks
Under membership agreement, the Bank is required to own stock issued by Atlantic Central Bankers Bank.
Because ownership and disposition is restricted, the shares lack a market for measuring fair value and are recorded
at cost.

The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Pittsburgh and as such is required to
maintain a minimum investment in stock of the FHLB, which varies with the level of advances outstanding with the
FHLB. The stock is bought from and sold to the FHLB based upon its $100 par value. The stock does not have a
readily determinable fair value and as such is classified as restricted stock, carried at cost and evaluated by
management. The stock’s value is determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by
recognizing temporary declines. The determination of whether the par value will ultimately be recovered is
influenced by criteria such as the following: (a) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as
compared to the capital stock amount and the length of time this situation has persisted; (b) commitments by the
FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating
performance; (c) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLB; and (d) the
liquidity position of the FHLB. Management evaluated the stock and concluded that the stock was not impaired for
the periods presented herein.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the amount paid to acquire the Bank beyond the fair value of the identifiable net assets
acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is tested for impairment at least annually. For federal tax purposes,
goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. There was no impairment of goodwill as of December
31, 2014 or 2013.

Core Deposit Intangibles
Core deposit intangibles represent the asset identified for depositor relationships acquired with the Bank. This asset
was valued at acquisition based upon the economic advantages of core deposits as a funding source. This acquired
asset is being amortized using an accelerated method with an estimated useful life of ten years. Amortization
expense of $6,000 and $8,000 was recognized in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The unamortized balance was
$7,000 and $13,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization expense will be $5,000 and $2,000
for years 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Rights and Related Credit Enhancement Fees
The Bank sold residential mortgages to FHLB under the Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (“MPF”). The
Bank is no longer an active participant in the MPF program. Under this program, the Bank services the portfolio
sold to the FHLB and receives corresponding fees. The MPF program also entails a credit enhancement
arrangement whereby the Bank receives a fee for retaining a residual contingent liability for the repayment of loans
sold to the FHLB.

Assets for mortgage servicing rights and related credit enhancement fees were recorded at fair value corresponding
to net cash flows expected for servicing and credit enhancement of the MPF portfolio. Mortgage servicing rights
have finished amortizing during 2014. The balance was $8,000 at December 31, 2013. These assets are amortized
based upon portfolio activity and subject to ongoing evaluation for any permanent impairment.

MPF portfolio fees earned amounted to $18,000 and $25,000 during 2014 and 2013. The MPF portfolio balance
was $4,452,000 and $5,606,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The FHLB maintains a first-loss
position for the MPF portfolio that totals $306,000. Should the FHLB exhaust its first-loss position, recourse to the

Note 1  |  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Bank’s credit enhancement would be up to the next $117,000 of losses. The Bank has not experienced any losses
for the MPF portfolio. The value of credit enhancement fees receivable, net of an estimated liability, was $0 and
$5,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Transfers of Financial Assets
The Bank sells interests in loans receivable through loan participation sales. The Bank accounts for these transactions 
as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered 
when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that 
constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does 
not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their 
maturity.

The Bank retains servicing responsibilities for the loan participation sales. The Bank does not recognize a servicing 
asset or liability, since the amount received for servicing the loan participations is a reasonable approximation of 
market rates and servicing costs.

Advertising and Marketing Costs
The Bank charges advertising costs to expense as accrued.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average 
number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares 
that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to 
income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by Centric relate to 
outstanding stock options and warrants and non-vested restricted stock.

Anti-dilutive options and warrants to purchase 65,053 and 11,750 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average price 
of $5.71 and $6.00, outstanding at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; and unvested restricted shares of 127 
and 1,080 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, at a price of $6.00 for both years, were not included in dilutive 
earnings per share because the result would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation 
Centric records the cash flow from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost 
recognized for stock-based awards (excess tax benefit) be classified as financing cash flows. During 2014 and 2013, no 
stock options were exercised.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income or Loss 
Centric recognizes revenue, expenses, gains, and losses in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as 
unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section 
of the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Such items are included as components of accumulated comprehensive income (loss), as follows, net of taxes:

c e n t r i c   f i n a n c i a l   c o r p o r a t i o n

Note 2  |  Investment Securities

The Consolidated Balance Sheet presents “available-for-sale” securities at fair value. Corresponding unrealized gains 
and losses do not affect net income but are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred 
income taxes. At March 3, 2014 the municipal securities portfolio, with amortized cost of $2,903,000 and a fair value 
of $2,698,000, was reclassified from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The net related unrealized loss at the time of 
the transfer was $205,000, which remained in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized over the 
remaining life of the related securities.

A summary of securities available for sale is as follows:

A summary of securities held to maturity is as follows:

Securities with a fair value of $24,296,000 and $32,399,000 were pledged to collateralize bank deposits by 
Pennsylvania local governments, FHLB advances, and the discount window as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, 
respectively.

During 2014, the Bank sold twenty five securities totaling $6,728,000 resulting in gross gains of $78,000 and gross 
losses of $75,000. There were no sales or proceeds from sales of securities during 2013.

Note 2  |  Investment Securities (continued)

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities owned at December 31, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown 
below:

A summary of securities which were in an unrealized loss position is as follows:

Securities are evaluated on an ongoing basis to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. For 
debt securities, management considers whether the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is 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 management’s intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not 
that they 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 
investor 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. 

Centric reviews investment securities on an ongoing basis for potential impairment which would be other than 
temporary and has adopted the provision which provides for the bifurcation of other-than-temporary impairment 
(“OTTI”) into two categories: (a) the amount of the total OTTI related to a decrease in expected cash flows to be 
collected (credit loss) which is recognized through earnings; and (b) the amount of OTTI related to all other factors, 
which is recognized, net of income taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income. During 2014, Centric 
did not record any credit-related impairment. For the year ended December 31, 2013, $22,000 of credit-related 
impairments were recorded through earnings on two private label mortgage-backed securities. There were 52 securities 
that were temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014 and 67 at December 31, 2013.

Note 4  |  Allowance for Loan Losses

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses 
the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the 
Bank has grouped certain loans in the portfolio into the following segments: commercial; real estate - construction; 
real estate - residential owner occupied; real estate - residential non-owner occupied; real estate - commercial; and 
consumer. Historical loss percentages for each risk category are calculated and used as the basis for calculating 
allowance allocations. These historical loss percentages are calculated over a three-year period for all portfolio 
segments. Certain qualitative factors are then added to the historical allocation percentage to get the adjusted factor to 
be applied to non-classified loans. The following qualitative factors are analyzed for each portfolio segment:

n Levels of and trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals
n Trends in volume and terms
n Changes in lending policies and procedures
n Volatility of losses within each risk category
n Economic trends
n Concentrations of credit
n Experience, depth and ability of management

Note 4  |  Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

The total allowance reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet 
date. The Bank considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, as of 
and for the year ending December 31, 2014.

The following table presents, by portfolio segment, the activity within the allowance for loan losses and the ending 
balance of the allowance for loan losses for 2014:

The changes in the allowance for loan losses related to real estate - residential non-owner occupied portfolio increased 
from the previous period end due to an increase in the overall portfolio balance and an increase in the loss history 
which influences the allocation of loan loss provision. The allowance for loan loss related to the commercial portfolio 
increased slightly, which was the result of an increase in adversely classified assets offset by a decrease in the loss 
history. The consumer segment of the allowance for loan loss decreased from the prior period due to a decline in the 
portfolio balance and a reduction in the loss history.

Allowance for loan losses activity during 2013 is as follows:

Changes in allowance for loan losses associated with the commercial loan portfolio were primarily the result of
increases in the volume of the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses related to the real estate - residential owner
occupied and real estate - commercial loan portfolios declined from the previous year primarily due to charge-offs
in 2013 for loans identified as impaired in which specific allowance for loan loss allocations were made in 2012.
The real estate - residential non-owner occupied allowance for loan losses declined as a result of the identification
and subsequent charge-off of a specific troubled loan relationship, which significantly improved the nonperforming
loan totals for this portfolio segment.

Note 4  |  Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

Credit Quality and Aging
The following tables represent credit exposures by internally assigned grades for the period end December 31, 2014
and 2013. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the
loan agreements as scheduled or at all. The Bank’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with
similarly graded loans.

The Bank’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

n  Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of  

the underlying collateral.

n  Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if  

not corrected.

n  Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by  

the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

n  Doubtful – Loans classified as “Doubtful” have all the weaknesses inherent in a Substandard asset. In addition, 
these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing 
circumstances.

n  Loss – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is  

not warranted.

Payment activity for the noncommercial portfolio is reviewed by management on a monthly basis to determine how
loans are performing. Loans are considered nonperforming when they become 90 days past due or the Bank is in
possession of other information that would deem the loan nonperforming.

Note 4  |  Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

The following tables present performing and nonperforming loans based on payment activity for the period ended:

Past-Due and Nonaccrual Loans
Generally, loans are considered nonaccrual upon reaching 90 days of delinquency, although the Bank may be
receiving partial payments of interest and partial repayments of principal on such loans. When a loan is placed in
nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income.

The following table presents an aging analysis of the recorded investment of past-due financing receivables, broken
down by segment and sub-segment, based on payment activity for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Payment activity is reviewed by management on a monthly basis to determine how loans are performing. Loans are
generally considered to be nonperforming when they become 90 days past due.

Note 4  |  Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

There were no loans 90 days past due or greater accruing interest at December 31, 2014. There were $115,000 of
loans greater than 90 days past due still accruing interest at December 31, 2013.

Impaired Loans
Management analyzes loans which are 90 days or more past due for impairment to determine if it is probable that all 
amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If management determines 
that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, 
deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance 
estimate or a charge-off to the allowance.

Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality had outstanding contractual balances of $75,000 and $129,000 and 
carrying amounts of $40,000 and $74,000 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired financing receivables 
with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Note 4  |  Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

Loan Modifications
Situations may arise that would cause the Bank to grant a concession for other-than-temporary purpose to the 
borrower that the Bank would not otherwise consider. The loan receiving the concession would then be classified as 
a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The situations leading to the concession may be economic or legal in nature 
and affect the borrower’s ability to meet the contractual obligation to the Bank. Management actively attempts to 
identify borrowers having financial difficulty early, and work with them to modify terms prior to the loan becoming 
nonaccrual. Modifications may include rate reductions, payment forbearance, principal reduction, or other actions 
with the intent to minimize the loss and/or avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. In cases where a restructure 
occurs, management measures impairment based on collateral to support the revised terms of the loan. If the loan is 
not collateral dependent, impairment is calculated using the present value of the revised loan terms compared to the 
investment in the loan prior to the restructure. TDRs are individually evaluated and provided for in the allowance for 
loan losses and are therefore excluded from pooled portfolio allocations. Management continually evaluates loans that 
are considered TDRs under the modified loan terms, including payment history and the borrower’s ability to continue 
to repay the loan based on continued evaluations of their results of operation and cash flow from operations.

Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the period ended December 31, 2014 and 2013,  
are as follows:

Modifications determined to be concessions granted by management were in the form of principal forgiveness,
extension of terms, and rate reductions.

No loans modified and considered TDRs that were made during the 12 months previous to December 31, 2014 or
2013, have defaulted in the current reporting period.

Note 5  |  Premises and Equipment

Ongoing additions to premises and equipment are recorded at cost. Occupancy and equipment expense includes 
depreciation expense of $438,000 and $413,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 
Depreciation expense is calculated on the straight-line method over estimated economic lives: buildings and 
improvements, 15 to 40 years; leasehold improvements, 10 years; furniture, fixtures, and equipment, 3 to 10 years.

Premises and equipment were comprised of the following:

Lease expense amounted to $278,000 and $274,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2014 are as follows

Note 7  |  Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings, which consist of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings are summarized  
as follows:

Average amounts outstanding during the year represent daily averages. Average interest rates represent interest 
expense divided by the related average balances. These borrowing transactions can range from overnight to one year 
in maturity. The average maturity was two days throughout 2014. During 2013, the only short term borrowing for the 
year had a duration of one day.

Note 8  |  Long-Term Debt

As one avenue for funding growth, the Bank is approved by the FHLB for borrowings of up to $123,248,000 at 
December 31, 2014. At year-end, $5,429,000 was outstanding and $35,150,000 was held as letters of credit to secure 
specific deposit balances, resulting in a remaining borrowing capacity for FHLB borrowings of $82,669,000.  
The Company also has a borrowing with another institution in the amount of $2,500,000, which has a stated rate of 
4.50 percent at December 31, 2014.

The following table presents borrowings that mature at various dates through 2018 with weighted-average rates  
is as follows:

Note 9  |  Stock Plans and 401(K)

401(k) Plan
The Bank has a 401(k) plan whereby all employees are eligible to participate after 90 days of employment. Employees 
may make contributions to the plan, subject to certain limitations based on federal tax laws. The Bank makes matching 
contributions of 50 percent of employees’ contributions, subject to a maximum contribution of 4 percent of an 
employee’s compensation. Matching contributions vest to the employee on a graded percentage and are fully vested in 
five years. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, expense attributable to the plan amounted to $45,000 and 
$39,000, respectively. These expenses are included in salaries and employee benefits on the Consolidated Statement of 
Income.

Stock Options and Warrants
The Company has a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that enables the Company to grant stock options, warrants,  
or restricted stock to directors and other designated employees. The Plan covers 240,000 shares of common stock.  
The number of shares available for grant at December 31, 2014 was 72,805.

Options granted under the Plan will have an option price at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock 
on the date of the grant. The options expire not more than ten years after the date of the grant. Exercise and vesting 
dates and terms may vary and are specified at the date of the grant.

In addition to those shares granted under the stock incentive plan, the Company also granted warrants to designated 
officers and directors. Warrants expire not more than ten years after the date of the grant. Exercise and vesting dates 
and terms may vary and are specified at the date of the grant.

Note 9  |  Stock Plans and 401(K) (continued)

Options and warrants of the Plan outstanding at December 31, 2014, and the activity that occurred during those 
periods consisted of the following:

At December 31, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of all options and warrants outstanding and exercisable were 
approximately $67,000 and $64,000, respectively. The weighted-average remaining life of outstanding and exercisable 
options and warrants at December 31, 2014 is 4.91 and 4.86 years, respectively. No options were exercised during 2014 
or 2013.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, stock option compensation expense of $3,000 and $12,000 were 
recognized in connection with the option plan, respectively. Tax benefits of $1,000 and $2,000 were recognized relative 
to these stock options at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014, future compensation 
expense related to non-vested stock option grants is expected to be recognized as $1,000 in 2015. There is no related 
expense for 2016 or 2017.

Common stock warrants were issued in 2006 to certain directors to purchase an aggregate share of common stock 
pursuant to the warrant grant. At December 31, 2014, 26,580 shares were outstanding and exercisable related to these 
warrants, with a weighted-average exercise price of $4.91. There were no warrants exercised during 2014 or 2013.

In addition to the options and warrants included in the Plan above, during 2010, the Company also granted one 
warrant to each of the directors of the Company, which are not part of the Plan. Each warrant represents 31,500 shares 
for a total of 315,000 shares, all of which vest only upon a change in control of the Company and have an exercise price 
of $5.44. A warrant was issued to the President & CEO in July 2013 also for 31,500 shares at an exercise price of $5.50 
and will vest only upon a change in control of the Company. During 2014 and 2013, none of these warrants vested, 
and the Company recorded no compensation expense associated with these grants. 

The fair value of the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, was calculated using the 
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

No employee stock options were granted during 2014 or 2013.

Note 9  |  Stock Plans and 401(K) (continued)

Restricted Stock
Under the Plan, the Company awarded 23,338 restricted shares to non-employee directors and executive officers 
subject to vesting and other provisions. Shares granted to the Plan participants of 2,251 and 1,970 had vested and 
been distributed at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition to the aforementioned Plan, the Company 
awarded 1,000 restricted shares as consideration for an executive employee contract which vested immediately.

The following table summarizes transactions regarding restricted stock under the Plan:

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, compensation expense of $14,000 and $9,000 were recognized in 
connection with the vesting of restricted stock for both years, respectively. Tax benefits of $5,000 and $3,000 were 
recognized relative to these shares at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Future compensation expense related 
to non-vested restricted stock at December 31, 2014 is $5,000 and $3,000 in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Note 10  |  Federal Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists of the following for the period ended:

Note 10  |  Federal Income Taxes (continued)

The total provision for income taxes is different from that computed at the statutory rates due to the following items 
for the years ended December 31:

The Company utilizes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and 
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be 
recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon 
examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax 
position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is 
greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet 
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period 
in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more likely-than not 
recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that 
threshold is no longer met.

There is currently no liability for uncertain tax positions and no known unrecognized tax benefits. The Company 
recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income 
taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Income. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, 
state, or local income tax examination by tax authorities for years before 2011.

Note 11  |  Related-Party Transactions

Centric has transactions in the ordinary course of business with its directors, their immediate families, and affiliated 
companies (commonly referred to as related parties).

In management’s opinion, all loans and deposits with related parties are on the same terms, including interest rates 
and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other customers. At December 31, 2014, 
loans to related parties were $18,051,000 and deposits by related parties totaled $6,861,000. At December 31, 2013, 
loans to related parties were $16,174,000 and deposits by related parties totaled $8,124,000. 

Related-party loan activity is summarized as follows:

c e n t r i c   f i n a n c i a l   c o r p o r a t i o n

Note 11  |  Related-Party Transactions (continued)

All of Centric’s directors are customers of the Bank. Centric shareholders number approximately 257 and many are 
Bank customers situated in the south central Pennsylvania community. Conversely, the Bank is a customer of some 
shareholder-related entities in the ordinary course of business. During 2014, related-party transactions include 
$128,000 and $111,000 of purchases for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively; there was no 
revenue on related-party transactions for either year.

The Company has employment agreements with three executive officers. The agreements include minimum annual 
salary commitments. Upon termination, these individuals will receive monetary compensation as set forth in the 
agreements.

Note 12  |  Unfunded Credit Commitments

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet 
the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of 
credit by Centric’s banking subsidiary. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of 
the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

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

Unfunded lending commitments at year-end:

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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the 
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have fixed 
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Bank evaluates each customer’s 
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit 
evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include personal or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, 
and equipment. Commitments under lines of credit presented above include lines that will be funded only to the 
extent that the Bank receives corresponding augmentation of satisfactory collateral.

Outstanding letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee performance of a customer 
to a third party and are reviewed annually. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as 
in extending comparable loans to customers. The Bank requires collateral supporting these letters of credit as deemed 
necessary. Management believes that the proceeds through liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover 
the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.

The Bank did not incur any losses during 2014 or 2013 associated with financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.

Note 13  |  Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  
The Company must meet the minimum capital requirements or face mandatory and discretionary actions by 
regulators that could have a direct material effect on Centric and its financial statements. Under capital adequacy 
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital 
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Centric’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as 
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Centric’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to 
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain 
minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets and of 
Tier 1 capital to average assets.

Dividends are generally restricted by federal banking laws based upon regulatorily defined profit. The Company does 
not intend to declare cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Note 14  |  Fair Value Measurements

The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations 
utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels are defined as follows:

Level I:  Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II:  Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly 
observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are 
available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of 
which can be directly observed.

Level III:  Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value 
drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

The following tables present the assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as of December 
31, 2014 and 2013, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety 
based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 14  |  Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Impaired Loans
Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to fair value through the establishment of specific 
reserves. Techniques used to value the collateral that secure the impaired loan include: quoted market prices for 
identical assets classified as Level I inputs and observable inputs, employed by certified appraisers, for similar assets 
classified as Level II inputs. In cases where valuation techniques included inputs that are unobservable and are based 
on estimates and assumptions developed by management based on the best information available under each 
circumstance, the asset valuation is classified as Level III inputs.

Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned is measured at fair value, less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost 
basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management, and the assets are carried at 
the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.

Securities Held to Maturity
Securities held to maturity were evaluated at December 31, 2014 and no impairment was necessary. Securities held to 
maturity were marked to market as of December 31, 2013, as a result of impairment that was determined to be OTTI. 
Management separates OTTI into two categories: (a) the amount of total OTTI related to a decrease in expected cash 
flows to be collected (credit loss) which is recognized in earnings; and (b) the amount of OTTI related to all other 
factors, which is recognized, net of income taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income. There was no 
impairment on securities held to maturity during 2014. During 2013, The Bank recorded credit related impairment of 
$22,000 on two private label mortgage-backed securities through earnings. The remaining difference between the fair 
value and amortized cost of $118,000 (the difference defined as the noncredit portion) was recognized in other 
comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

The following tables present quantitative information about the Level III significant unobservable inputs for assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Note 15  |  Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates an 
obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from/to a second entity on potentially 
favorable or unfavorable terms.

Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in current transactions using 
active trading markets. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would 
be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon 
management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future 
estimated losses, and other factors as determined through various option pricing formulas.

As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates that are inherently 
uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular 
financial instrument. In addition, changes in assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have a 
significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.

As certain assets such as deferred tax assets and premises and equipment are not considered financial instruments, 
the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of Centric.

Centric employed simulation modeling in determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for which 
quoted market prices were not available based upon the following assumptions:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments in Certificates of Deposits, Regulatory Stock, Cash Surrender Value Life 
Insurance, Accrued Interest Receivable, and Accrued Interest Payable
The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.

Investment Securities
The fair market value of investment securities is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price 
is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities. Fair value for certain held-to-
maturity securities were determined utilizing discounted cash flow models, due to the absence of a current market to 
provide reliable market quotes for the instruments.

Loans
Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms 
and qualities would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Where quoted market prices were available, 
primarily for certain residential mortgage loans, such market rates were utilized as estimates for fair value.

Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are individual loans for which the Company has a firm sales commitment; therefore, the carrying 
value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights and Credit Enhancement Fees
The fair value for mortgage servicing rights is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows and adjusting for 
prepayment estimates. Discount rates are based upon rates generally charged for such loans with similar 
characteristics.

The fair values of certificates of deposits and long-term debt are based on the discounted value of contractual cash 
flows. The discount rates are estimated using rates currently offered for similar instruments with similar remaining 
maturities. Demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts are valued at the amount payable on demand as of 
year-end.

Note 16  |  Participation in U.S. Treasury Programs

Centric participated in the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program. With the execution of this 
Securities Purchase Agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Company paid back the monies from its 
participation in Capital Purchase Program. Pursuant to the agreement, Centric sold to the Treasury 7,492 shares of 
senior non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series C at $1,000 liquidation value per share, for the price of 
$7,492,000.

The preferred stock Series C qualifies as Tier 1 capital and pays quarterly dividends, beginning October 2011. Divided 
rates are determined upon funding and for the next nine calendar quarters, adjusted quarterly (based on outstanding 
loans at the end of the second previous quarter). The percentage of the increase in lending determines the dividend 
rate. Dividend rates for the tenth quarter after funding through the end of the first 4.5 years are based on the increased 
lending at the end of the eighth quarter after funding. The dividend rate after 4.5 years, if the funding has not been 
repaid, is set at 9 percent. For both 2014 and 2013, Centric qualified for a dividend rate of 1 percent per year due to its 
lending growth. Under the terms of the SBLF program, with the approval of its regulator, an institution may exit the 
program at any time by repaying the funding provided plus any accrued dividends.

Note 17  |  Stock Offering

On July 17, 2014, the Company began a private placement offering to “accredited investors” (as defined in Regulation 
D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1922, as amended) offering up to 1,600,000 shares of common stock at a 
purchase price of $5.00 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company issued a total of 682,774 shares 
and an offering price of $5.00 per share resulting in total proceeds of $3,414,000 in additional capital at December 31, 
2014. The direct costs of the offering through December 31, 2014 totaled $36,000, which were netted against the 
proceeds received during the year resulting in net proceeds of $3,378,000. The offering was subsequently closed on 
January 30, 2015, which is described in further detail in Note 18.

Note 18  |  Subsequent Events

The stock offering discussed in Note 17 was subsequently closed on January 30, 2015. At the close of the offering, the 
Company had issued a total of 997,191 shares and received total proceeds of $4,986,000. Total direct expenses of the 
offering were $83,000, which were netted against the proceeds.
