We live, work, play, learn, and build together. This was a year of impressive growth, performance, partnerships, and platforms. We reached a new status with our ticker symbol—CFCX—and completed an oversubscribed common stock offering to support future growth. Staying keenly focused on our strategic loan portfolio goals and delivering shareholder value to you, our 322 investors, we captured new market share as big banks acquired small banks. Headlines like “Midstate banking M&A market will be hot in 2016,” and “Two deals that affected the mid-state were among the country’s seven largest deals of the year in terms of value” heightened lending concerns among business owners. In this era of DonalD E. EnDErs, Jr. Chairman of the Board Patricia a. Husic President & CEO banking musical chairs, Centric Bank has developed the deepest and strongest ties to businesses and individuals in our communities. We live where we lend. Our client ambassadors, who share testimonies on these pages, know that fueling small business is the prescription for job creation. While other financial institutions balloon and bust, we pledge continued growth and long-term fidelity. Our total assets increased by 20% and grew to $373 million at year- end 2015. As your Community Bank of Choice, we have privileged insight into Pennsylvania’s small business engine. A powerful growth tool, SBA lending continued to be a strategic initiative. We originated and closed over $23 million in new SBA loans during 2015. Creating measurable economic impact, our lending strength and partnerships propelled us to the #1 position in SBA lending for our 5-county area as of SBA FYE 15. Total loans originated in 2015 were $137 million, with an increase in loans outstanding of $60 million, or 24% growth over the prior year. As compared to Pennsylvania banks under $650 million, the median loan growth rate was 6.36% for the year. Once again, Centric Bank retained leadership in organic loan growth in our markets. Our yield on the loan portfolio was 4.64%, as compared to our peers at 4.52% for 2015. Our asset quality remained pristine, and non- performing assets as a percentage of total assets were .65%, an improvement from .92% at the end of the prior year. The bank peer group reported a median of 1.06% for that same period. Centric Bank’s asset quality is reflective of our high-caliber clients and prudent underwriting process delivered by the credit and risk management team. Centric Bank’s financial highlights as of December 31, 2015, are as follows: n Net income after taxes was $1.84 million, an increase of 49%; n Net interest margin grew to 3.48% from 3.44%; n Cost of funds decreased from .77% to .73%; n Loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 101.2% from 92.0%; n Return on assets increased to .55% from .40%; n Return on equity was 7.84%, compared to 7.87% in 2014, the decrease a result of the $12 million stock offering; n Earnings-per-share increased to $0.42/share, up from $0.38/share, an increase of $0.04/share or 11%, even with the impact of the additional shares resulting from the stock offering; n Tangible book value of the bank’s stock increased to $5.37/share, an increase of $0.22/share or 4.3%. The year-end trade was $7.00/share. n 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 2 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 A key strategic initiative was increasing non-interest bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits. As seen with high-performing financial institutions, these numbers are in the range of 18-26%. At the end of 2014, non-interest bearing checking as a percentage of total deposits was 9%. We ended 2015 with this ratio at 17%, an increase of $28.7 million from the year prior. We are committed to increasing this ratio yearly. mobile app user-experience and provide new tools for clients to be served on the screen of their choice. Our team has seized opportunities and taken smart advantage of the dislocation in our markets resulting from bank mergers. We have seen significant successes in new client acquisition, and we continue to discover additional ways to lead these businesses and individuals to Centric Bank. Another strategic initiative was to increase non- interest income with a focus on SBA lending and mortgage loans. In 2015, we sold over $16.1 million in SBA loans with a resulting gross fee income of $1.7 million, up $1.66 million from the prior year. We also outlined goals to build infrastructure in our mortgage operations area to sell our mortgage loans directly to the secondary market. We added investors, implemented software, enhanced checks and balances, and are adding originators: 2016 is primed for significant impact to non-interest income. In April 2015, a 5-person lending team established a loan production office in suburban Philadelphia, expanding the franchise value of the bank. This team brings over 75 years of experience in the commercial banking industry. The charge of the Doylestown- based team is commercial lending, with an emphasis on C&I lending, as well as SBA lending. During 2015, this team booked $20 million in commercial loans, $10 million in deposits, and contributed 59% of fee income from SBA loans. They achieved profitability in September 2015, three months ahead of the budgeted forecasts. An additional goal was to increase operational efficiency through technology and increasing fee income. In 2015, our efficiency ratio improved to 72.6% from 76.1% the prior year. To improve customer profitability and evaluate prospects, we are implementing tools through a Relationship Profitability Management model. We introduced the RPM tools in January 2016 after set-up and testing during the fourth quarter. In 2016, we plan to enhance the turnaround and efficiency of the credit area, so we can deliver quick results to our prospects and clients. Understanding the power of technology, we continue to evolve our c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . Our Doctor Centric Bank division grew loans to $17.3 million and increased deposits by $850,000. We deepened customer relationships in 2015, and plan to double the loans outstanding in the medical industry for 2016. Doctor Centric Bank’s concierge service has expanded measurably through personal referrals and word-of-mouth marketing. We are proud to be the start-up financier and second-stage growth partner for dentists, oncologists, cardiologists, dermatologists, and other health care specialists. An exclamation point to 2015 was our issuance of $6 million in subordinated debt at one of the lowest rates issued in the U.S. by a financial institution. Set for a term of 10 years, it is fixed at 4.85% for the first 5 years. The proceeds were used to pay back the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) to the U.S. Treasury at year-end, prior to the reset of the rate in mid-January 2016. We also used $1.5 million of our common stock proceeds toward that payoff. These funds provided over $86 million in new commercial loans to small businesses. With palpable momentum and a reputation as the lifeline for small business, we advance new strategic initiatives. We are working smarter, delivering quick turnarounds, and living our brand promise. We have the best team in place to execute the strategic plan and deliver returns to every stakeholder. We are honored to Revolve Around You and are grateful to be the stewards of your investment in Centric Financial Corporation. Sincerely, Donald E. Enders, Jr. Chairman of the Board Patricia A. Husic President & CEO 3 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 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 4 Community Matters Centric Bank celebrated a year of corporate growth, economic opportunities, and capital raise milestones in 2015. As our world becomes ever more connected, regulated, and geopolitical, our focus remains on prospering the community—it’s our ballast. In every transaction, strategic initiative, and customer communication, Community Matters. “Since our first conversations in 2007 about the exciting possibility of starting our own bank with the singular intention of powering small business, we redouble our clearly articulated goals both then and now: Be the difference maker. Be the rocket fuel for our economy. Be focused on growth, but never at the expense of relationships. “Nine years later, we have stayed the course. What has changed is our bench strength: We have grown from $60 million to $373 million in assets. Meanwhile, the original inspiration to fuel small businesses and propel job creators remains preeminent,” says Patti Husic, President & CEO. The function of finance is one of the most critical elements for small business opportunities, and despite new technologies and data-driven insights, the human connection between community banker and small business owner is still the springboard for success. “Almost paradoxically, as more technology becomes available, human judgement and wisdom matter more,” says University of Michigan professor Kentaro Toyama. Centric Bank’s deep commitment to Main Street America has tapped into this desire to know your banker, to understand the principles of your bank, to share its goals, and to benefit from its business strategies. Serving New Communities New client recruitment and retention have opened several growing markets in our footprint—the Millennials who have come of age with an Internet- accessible device and who are defined by their big ideas and strong convictions; women business owners whose only barrier to lift off is access to resources and decision-making networks; and entrepreneurs who are investing in office infrastructure and commercial real estate. Connecting with Millennials—now the largest generation in the U.S. workforce—is imperative for Centric Bank’s long-term sustainability. “We are loyal. We want to bank with people we know, people we see volunteering in our communities, and people who give where they live. I expect the convenience of a Centric Bank app, but emphasize the value of an in- person relationship,” says Andrew Enders, Esq., Enders Insurance Associates, and president of Harrisburg Young Professionals. Using new technologies, Centric tracks trends in banking services and can use this data to meet clients’ needs for more efficient business management, cash management, executive lines of credit, mobile and Internet banking, SBA loans, and office equipment purchases. 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 As first-time home buyers, we opted to take on a new construction loan. Centric Bank was one of the only institutions that even considered our initial proposal for financing—and we couldn’t be happier that they did! We have had a steep learning curve to conquer, but Getty Wilson and her team at Centric Bank have been with us since day one. From answering questions on how construction loans function differently than typical mortgages, or taking extended meetings to build a game plan to maximize our rates, Centric Bank has provided us with the information, transparency, and support necessary for us to feel confident and happy with our home-building choice. Centric made our dream a reality! K y lE C o oK A N D FiA N CéE BE t h ho lt New Cumberland, PA Despite new technologies and data-driven insights, the human connection between community banker and small business owner is still the springboard for success. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . Raising Capital, Raising Brand Equity, and Raising the Bar In 2015, Centric Financial Corporation received its OTC ticker symbol and began trading as CFCX. Independence and innovation are in Centric Bank’s DNA. This was particularly evident in this year’s growth surges. “We relate to the entrepreneur who takes an idea to market and convinces an investor to fund a dream. This is the lifeblood of small business, and it’s a story we live daily,” says Husic. On November 20, Centric Bank exceeded its $8 million goal and completed a $12 million capital raise in 30 days, expanded twice to meet investor demand, and closed oversubscribed. “The estimated $11.3 million in net proceeds from the transaction will be used to support operational growth, increase organic loan growth, accelerate SBA opportunities, and expand our service footprint in the suburban Philadelphia region and throughout Pennsylvania,” says Husic. “Investor support for this highly successful offering was a vote of confidence for Centric’s expansion and a clear signal to business builders that we are well capitalized and prepared to finance the future.” Finishing Strong Centric Financial Corporation announced on December 30, 2015, plans to pay off the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) to the U.S. Department of the Treasury and entered into a subordinated note purchase agreement under which the Company issued a $6 million subordinated note to a Williamsport, Pennsylvania-based financial institution. “This was an exclamation point to a strong year, and we’re excited about the momentum it provides us for 2016. We take our commitment to ‘powering the GDP’ very seriously. Community banks form the financial fabric of entire regions, and our positive capital growth trajectories are helping to create stronger, more prosperous communities,” says Husic. 5 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 6 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 During the course of the SBLF Program, Centric Bank used the funds to lend an additional $86 million in loans to small businesses—an increase of approximately 160% in commercial loans. “The SBLF Program was very successful for Centric Bank and the communities we serve. We were able to provide significant access to capital for our small business owners to help them grow and create jobs,” says Husic. Our commercial loan portfolios exceeded this year’s goal of $50 million in new loans and have grown by 24%. This infused capital has unleashed innovation and job creation in the life sciences, chemical labs, farm-to-table restaurants, surgical centers, hotels, health care, and aviation. As regional banks were absorbed by outsiders, Centric Bank immediately captured new market share and developed new banking relationships. Acquiring top talent and high-Potential Clients To meet pent-up commercial lending demand, Centric expanded in suburban Philadelphia with a 5-person lending team on April 13, 2015. The Bucks County Centric Bank team opened a loan production office within 100 days and is exceeding Centric’s commercial loan goals. They booked $20 million in loans in 2015. This high-octane team led by Michele E. Light, Senior Vice President and Market Leader, delivers an aggregate 75+ years of local financial expertise, as well as small business, SBA, and commercial real estate loan experience. Centric Bank is well-positioned to continue its SBA growth in 2016 and beyond.

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 full service offices in south central Pennsylvania, a loan production office in Bucks County, as well as online banking channels. The Bank’s principal source of revenue is interest income generated 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 intercompany 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 impaired loans, 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 for regulatory reporting only. 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 $268,000 and $222,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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. During April 2015 the Bank expanded into suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a new loan production office. 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) 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 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. 19 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 engages in 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. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 20 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) 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 using 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. Regulatory Stock Under membership agreement, the Bank is required to own stock issued by Atlantic Community Bankers Bank. Because ownership and disposition is restricted, the shares lack a market for measuring fair value and are recorded at cost. 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) 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, 2015 or 2014. 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 $4,000 and $6,000 was recognized in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The unamortized balance was $2,000 and $7,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Amortization expense will be $2,000 for 2016. 21 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. These assets were amortized based upon portfolio activity and subject to ongoing evaluation for any permanent impairment. MPF portfolio fees earned amounted to $13,000 and $18,000 during 2015 and 2014. The MPF portfolio balance was $2,948,000 and $4,452,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The FHLB maintains a first-loss position for the MPF portfolio that totals $310,000. Should the FHLB exhaust its first-loss position, recourse to the Bank’s credit enhancement would be up to the next $21,000 of losses. The Bank has not experienced any losses for the MPF portfolio. There were no credit enhancement fees receivable, net of an estimated liability, at December 31, 2015 or 2014. The Bank sells the guaranteed portion of Small Business Administration (SBA) approved loans. The loans are serviced by the Bank and generate corresponding mortgage servicing rights. The portfolio balance of loans generating mortgage servicing rights was $15,717,000 at December 31, 2015. The value of the mortgage servicing rights was $391,000 at December 31, 2015. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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) 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. Options and warrants to purchase 72,335 and 65,053 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average price of $5.70 and $5.71, outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively; and unvested restricted shares of 556 and 127 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, at a price of $6.00 for each period disclosed, were not included in dilutive earnings per share because the result would be anti-dilutive. 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 22 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) as financing cash flows. During 2015 and 2014, no stock options were exercised. 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) Accumulated Other Comprehensive 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 loss, as follows, net of taxes: The following illustrates amounts reclassified out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income. 23 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. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 A summary of securities available for sale is as follows: A summary of securities held to maturity is as follows: 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 24 Securities with a fair value of $15,711,000 and $24,296,000 were pledged to collateralize bank deposits by Pennsylvania local governments, FHLB advances, and the discount window as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During 2015, the Bank sold seven securities totaling $3,492,000 resulting in gross gains of $3,000 and gross losses of $4,000. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Bank sold twenty five securities totaling $6,728,000 resulting in gross gains of $78,000 and gross losses of $75,000. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities owned at December 31, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown below: 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 (continued) A summary of securities which were in an unrealized loss position is as follows: 25 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. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, Centric did not record any credit-related impairment. There were 40 securities that were temporarily impaired at December 31, 2015. There were no changes in credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 associated with investment securities for which other-than-temporary impairment losses have been previously recognized in both earnings and other comprehensive income. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 3 | Loans The composition of loans, net of unamortized loan origination fees of $642,000 and $139,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are as follows: 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 26 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 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 of approximately $3,274,000 adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, as of and for the year ending December 31, 2015. 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 4 | Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) Allowance for loan losses activity during 2015 is as follows: The changes in the allowance for loan losses over the prior period related to the commercial portfolio increased due to the significant increase in portfolio balances, a decrease in the loss history that influences the allocation of provision and a significant decrease in adversely classified assets. The allowance for loan loss related to real estate - owner occupied and real estate – commercial both increased over prior period due to the increase in their respective portfolio balances. The change in allowance for loan losses related to real estate – non-owner occupied decreased due to the decrease in loss history influencing provision and a decrease in adversely classified assets. 27 Allowance for loan losses activity during 2014 is as follows: 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. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 4 | Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) The following tables present, by portfolio segment, the allowance for loan losses broken down between loans individually evaluated for impairment and loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the recorded investment in those loans: 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 28 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 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, 2015 and 2014. 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. 29 c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 4 | Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) 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. The following tables present performing and nonperforming loans based on payment activity for the period ended: 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 30 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, 2015 and 2014. 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. 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 4 | Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) At December 31, 2015, there were $93,000 of loans 90 days past due or greater still accruing interest. There were no loans 90 days past due or greater still accruing interest at December 31, 2014. 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 $76,000 and $75,000 and carrying amounts of $41,000 and $40,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015 and 2014. 31 c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 4 | Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 32 Loan Modifications Situations may arise that would cause the Bank to grant a concession for other-than-temporary purpose to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty 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. 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 4 | Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) Loan modifications that are considered TDRs completed during the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, are as follows: Modifications determined to be concessions granted by management were in the form of principal forgiveness, extension of terms, and rate reductions. Amounts within the allowance for loan losses allocated to TDR’s are $352,000 and $349,000 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. No loans modified and considered TDRs that were made during the 12 month period previous to December 31, 2015 or 2014, have defaulted in the current reporting period. 33 Foreclosed Assets Foreclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, included with other assets are $1,179,000 and $1,071,000, respectively, of foreclosed assets. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, included within the foreclosed assets, is $302,000 and $132,000 of consumer residential mortgages that were foreclosed on, or received via a deed in lieu transaction prior to the period end. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has initiated formal foreclosure proceedings on $278,000 of consumer residential mortgages, which have not yet been transferred into foreclosed assets. Note 5 | Premises and Equipment Ongoing additions to premises and equipment are recorded at cost. Occupancy and equipment expense includes depreciation expense of $461,000 and $438,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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: c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 5 | Premises and Equipment (continued) Lease expense amounted to $327,000 and $278,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2015 are as follows: 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 34 Note 6 | Deposits Centric’s deposits were comprised of the following: Scheduled maturities of time deposits are as follows: Time deposits in denominations of $250,000 or greater totaled $18,371,000 and $14,570,000 for December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 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 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 89 days for the year ended December 31, 2015. The average maturity was two days for the year ended December 31, 2014. Note 8 | Long-Term Debt As one avenue for funding growth, the Bank is approved by the FHLB for borrowings of up to $145,755,000 at December 31, 2015. At year end, $18,202,000 was outstanding and $36,060,000 was held as letters of credit to secure specific deposit balances, resulting in a remaining borrowing capacity for FHLB borrowings of $91,494,000. On December 28, 2015, the Company issued $6,000,000 principal amount junior subordinated debenture due December 28, 2025, to another financial institution. The debt bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.85 percent until December 28, 2020, at which time the interest rate converts to a floating rate equal to Prime Rate plus one percent with a floor of 4.25 percent. The Company maintains the ability to redeem the debenture on or after December 28, 2020. 35 The Company also has borrowings at another institution totaling $2,500,000, at a rate of 4.50 percent at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The following table presents borrowings that mature at various dates through 2025 with weighted-average rates as follows: The aggregate amount of future principal payments required on these borrowing at December 31, 2015, is as follows: c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 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, 2015 and 2014, expense attributable to the plan amounted to $50,000 and $45,000, 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, 2015 was 64,497. 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. Options and warrants of the Plan outstanding at December 31, 2015, and the activity that occurred during the year consisted of the following: 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 36 At December 31, 2015, the aggregate intrinsic value of all options and warrants, both outstanding and exercisable was approximately $0. The weighted-average remaining life of both the outstanding and exercisable options and warrants at December 31, 2015 is 4.12. No options were exercised during 2015 or 2014. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, stock option compensation expense of $4,000 and $3,000 was recognized in connection with the option plan, respectively. A tax benefit of $1,000 was recognized relative to these stock options at both December 31, 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015, there is no related future compensation expense as all options are fully vested. 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, 2015, 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 2015 or 2014. 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 9 | Stock Plans and 401 (K) (continued) 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 the right to purchase 31,500 shares for a total of 315,000 shares at December 31, 2015. These warrants would 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 and Chief Executive Officer 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 2015 and 2014, no warrants vested and the Company recorded no compensation expense associated with these grants. The fair value of the options granted for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was calculated using the Black- Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: No employee stock options were granted during 2015 or 2014. Restricted Stock At December 31, 2015, over the life of the Plan, the Company has awarded 25,688 of restricted shares to non-employee directors and executive officers subject to vesting and other provisions. Shares granted to the Plan participants of 2,300 and 2,251 had vested and been distributed during December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The following table summarizes transactions regarding restricted stock under the Plan: 37 For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, compensation expense of $8,000 and $14,000 was recognized in connection with the vesting of restricted stock, respectively. Tax benefits of $3,000 and $5,000 were recognized relative to these shares at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Future compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock at December 31, 2015 is $7,000, $4,000 and $1,000 in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. As of January 1, 2015 the Company approved and implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This plan is intended to provide employees of Centric Financial Corporation and its subsidiary with an opportunity to acquire an interest in the Company through the purchase of common stock. Under the plan, eligible employees may purchase shares at fair market value, with no restrictions on the amount of shares they can purchase, up to a 5% ownership of combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company. The Company reserved 200,000 shares of its common stock subject to adjustment of shares and price due to any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, stock dividends, combination of shares, or similar event in which the number or kind of shares is changed. As of December 31, 2015, 4,117 shares have been issued under this plan. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 10 | Federal Income Taxes The provision for income taxes consists of the following for the period ended: The following temporary differences gave rise to the net deferred tax assets at December 31: 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 38 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 2012. 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 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, 2015, loans to related parties were $13,165,000 and deposits by related parties totaled $5,409,000. At December 31, 2014, loans to related parties were $18,051,000 and deposits by related parties totaled $6,861,000. Related-party loan activity is summarized as follows: All of Centric’s directors are customers of the Bank. As of December 31, 2015, Centric’s shareholders number approximately 322 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. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, related-party transactions include $52,000 and $128,000 of purchases, respectively. There was no revenue generated on related-party transactions for any of the periods listed. 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. 39 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: c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 40 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 12 | Unfunded Credit Commitments (continued) 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. Note 13 | Regulatory Matters Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank became subject to the final rules issued by the Federal Reserve and the OCC and subsequently adopted by the FDIC, establishing a new comprehensive capital frame work for banking organizations. The new capital framework substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements in comparison to the prior rules, which were in effect through December 31, 2014. The Basel III Capital Rules introduced a new capital measure, “Common Equity Tier 1;” increased the minimum requirements for Tier 1 Capital ratio as well as the minimum to be considered well capitalized under prompt corrective action; and introduce the “capital conservation buffer,” which will be phased in over a four-year period. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under U.S. GAAP, regulatory reporting requirements, and regulatory capital standards. The Bank’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 regulatory capital standards to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject. As of December 31, 2015, the most recent notification from Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. 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 13 | Regulatory Matters (continued) The Company and the Bank’s capital ratios as of December 31, 2015, under the new Basel III Capital Rules, and December 31, 2014 under the previous U.S. risk based capital rules, are presented below: 41 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. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 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, 2015 and 2014, 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. 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 42 Impaired Loans The Company has measured impairment on impaired loans generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties. In some cases, management may adjust the appraised value due to the age of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. Additionally, management makes estimates about expected costs to sell the property which are also included in the net realizable value. If the fair value of the collateral dependent loan is less than the carrying amount of the loan a specific reserve for the loan is made in 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 14 | Fair Value Measurements (continued) the allowance for loan losses or a charge-off is taken to reduce the loan to the fair value of the collateral (less estimated selling costs) and the loan is included in the table above as a level III measurement. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the carrying amount of the loan, then the loan is not included in the table above as it is not currently being carried at its fair value. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the fair values shown above exclude estimated selling costs of $25,000 and $20,000. Other Real Estate Owned OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is measured at the date foreclosure. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the carrying amount of the loan, no charge-off or adjustment is necessary, the loan is not considered to be carried at fair value, and is therefore not included in the table above. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the carrying amount of the loan, management will charge the loan down to its estimated realizable value. The fair value of OREO is based on the appraised value of the property, which is generally unadjusted by management and is based on comparable sales for similar properties in the same geographic region as the subject property, and is included in the above table as a Level II measurement. In some cases, management may adjust the appraised value due to the age of the appraisal, changes in market conditions, or observable deterioration of the property since the appraisal was completed. In these cases, the loans are categorized in the above table as level III measurement since these adjustments are considered to be unobservable inputs. Income and expenses from operations and further declines in the fair value of the collateral subsequent to foreclosure are included in net expenses from OREO. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, write-downs of two and five OREO properties, respectively, were required and therefore are considered to be carried at fair value. 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, 2015 and 2014. 43 c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 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 15 | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is as follows: 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 44 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 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: 45 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. c oM M Un i t Y M a t t e rS . 5 1 0 2 t r o p e r l a U n n a 46 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 15 | Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued) Deposits and Long-Term Debt 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. These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value is represented by the net deferred fees arising from the unrecognized commitment or letter of credit. The fair value is determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk. Neither the carrying value nor the fair value is considered material for disclosure. The contractual amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of credit are presented in Note 12. 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 2015 and 2014, 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. Centric, with approval from its regulators, repaid the U.S. Treasury for the full amount of SBLF funds and final dividend on December 31, 2015. Note 17 | Stock Offerings 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. For the duration of the offering, the Company issued a total of 1,009,191 shares and received total proceeds of $5,046,000. Total direct expenses of the offering were $81,000, which were netted against the proceeds. 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 17 | Stock Offerings (continued) On October 9, 2015, the Company commenced a private placement offering to “accredited investors” (as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1922, as amended) offering up to $10,000,000 worth of common stock at a purchase price of $5.25 per share. Authorization was given by the Board to sell an additional $2,000,000 of common stock at the same price of $5.25 per share. The private placement offering for 2015 was fully subscribed at 2,285,715 shares at the offering price of $5.25 per share, resulting in total proceeds of $12,000,000 at the close of the offering on November 20, 2015. The direct costs of the offering through December 31, 2015 totaled $685,000, resulting in net proceeds of $11,315,000.
