To Our Shareholders, Customers, and Friends:

Every time we look at our ocean blue spherical logo, 
it’s a pleasant reminder of “Community” and what 
really “Matters”—and that’s our theme for 2015. 

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. Recognized as the #1 
SBA lender in a 5-county area as of SBA FYE 15, Centric 
Bank surpassed 2 billion-dollar financial institutions 
that have repeatedly held the top 2 positions. 

i was looking to partner with a progressive 
bank that would provide me with the highest 
level of industry knowledge, customer service, 
and ability to streamline the SBA process 
when buying my first business. the team at 
Centric Bank designed a flawless strategy that 
gave me an incredible experience from start to 
finish. the flexibility and proactive approach 
they took in understanding my business 
model and growth objectives allowed me to 
secure a loan, apply for additional working 
capital, and use Centric Bank as my personal 
bank for my new business. 

it is rare to find a business that has the 
resources and outstanding attitude that i have 
witnessed firsthand at Centric Bank. their 
concern for my professional and personal 
goals makes me feel like i am working with 
family. they have my best interests in mind 
and will encourage my continued growth for 
years to come.

consecutive year, the Central Penn Business Journal 
named Centric Bank as one of the Top 50 Fastest 
Growing Companies in the region.

Adding 7 new employees in 2015, Centric Bank 
became 78 people strong with a goal to add 20 new 
positions in 2016. “We plan to expand our mortgage 
office by 9 employees and add additional commercial 
and retail sales staff to Harrisburg and Bucks County,” 
says Husic. “We are very proud of our high-achieving 
teams. Their relationship banking rapport has 
attracted many new clients in suburban Philadelphia.” 

During more than 50 years in business, 
Carson has adapted its business model to 
reflect the ever-changing advancements and 
opportunities in the helicopter industry.  
our longevity is based on being a step ahead 
of the competition, which takes vision as well 
as the monetary means to continually move 
forward. Carson has learned the importance 
of choosing a bank and a banker who 
understand innovation and loyalty. Almost 
20 years ago, we met Chris McDermott who 
became not only our banker but a trusted 
friend. When Chris told us he was working for 
Centric Bank, we did not hesitate to follow 
him. We have been impressed with our new 
relationship with Centric Bank and look 
forward to a long and fruitful association.

We turned to Centric Bank to provide us with 
the financial tools and resources to build 
our restaurant. Patti husic understood our 
dream and has personally seen to providing 
everything we need for success. We highly 
recommend the entire Centric team. they 
provide the personalized banking service that 
small businesses thrive on.

“To provide relationship-banking services to our 
neighbors in southeastern Pennsylvania is an exciting 
opportunity for us,” says Husic. “The rich history 
of the region, the business DNA, work ethic, and 
demographics of Bucks County and the surrounding 
counties that we do business in complement our 
customer and shareholder base.” 

“Blending the people skills and lending strengths 
of our teams was instinctive from our first meeting 
with the Centric Bank leadership,” says Light. “This 
acquisition is an economic opportunity for our 
entrepreneurs and small business owners who 
depend on access to capital from their community 
banker.” 

The Centric Bank mission is clear: Our people will be 
the difference in establishing consistency in earnings 
and enhanced shareholder value. Hiring the best 
talent who innately demonstrate the bank’s DNA of 
“people-first and community matters” has been the 
catalyst for 24% loan growth in central Pennsylvania 
and in becoming #1 among banks in Pennsylvania 
under $650 million in assets. And, for the fourth

investing in Community Matters

As the only community bank headquartered 
in Harrisburg, Centric Bank gives where they 
live. A simple Google Search of #CentricBank, 
#WeRevolveAroundYou, and #BeTheDifferenceMaker 
showcases the Centric family attending to Community 
Matters. Sponsoring the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve 
Toys for Tots Parade and marching with the entire 
staff; honoring our war heroes in the Memorial Day 
Parade; supporting the American Heart Association’s 
Go Red campaign; serving the Salvation Army’s WIN 
Women Involved; fighting pediatric cancer with the 
Four Diamonds Fund; investing in education through 
school foundations; and volunteering for the Central 
PA Food Bank are just a few of the ways we quietly 
show our neighbors how much we care.

We also connected and helped customers, friends, and 
community leaders in the following organizations:

n  Ronald McDonald House of Central Pennsylvania
n  Bishop McDevitt High School
n  Norwood-Fontbonne Academy
n  PA Breast Cancer Coalition
n  American Cancer Society
n  United Way of the Capital Region
n  Central PA Blood Bank
n  Susquehanna Township School District
n  Central Dauphin School District
n  Camp Hill High School Lion Foundation
n  United Methodist Home for Children
n  Holy Spirit Hospital
n  Whitaker Center

Building our brand message with strategic marketing 
was evident in the headlines and hashtags we created 
and the media attention we garnered. Focused on a 
multi-channel marketing strategy of Earned, Owned, 
and Paid Media, we met our customers on the screen 
and channel of their choice: mobile, laptop, desktop, 
digital, outdoor, radio, print, blog, and in person. 
From the Central Penn Business Journal to PennLive, 
to the Bucks County Courier Times, to the Philadelphia 
Business Journal, to PA Banker and American Banker, 
WITF Smart Talk, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and 

Twitter, the Centric Bank story energizes and inspires 
customers. 

“On average, loyal customers are worth up to 10 
times as much as their first purchase,” states the White 
House Office of Consumer Affairs. Cultivating that 
loyalty and inviting our customers’ user-generated 
content and stories builds a strong community bond.

Rita’s is a niche business and its reputation 
and great products speak for themselves.  
We became the owners of two Rita’s locations 
this past July and have Centric Bank to thank 
for making this venture a reality. 

Coming from the banking industry 
ourselves, we had a unique perspective 
when choosing a financial institution to fund 
our purchase. We sought an institution that 
could guide us through one of the biggest 
decisions in our lives. A partner who could 
provide a community-minded approach, 
local decision making, personal service, 
and a shared commitment to meet our 
closing deadline. Centric was also able to 
provide recommendations for other local 
professionals who aided in our start-up, 
as well as additional service partners and 
advisors.

American Banker praised Patti’s leadership in driving 
Centric Bank to “five consecutive annual profits” and 
for guiding an executive team that is 75% female 
with a clear focus on diversity, inclusiveness, and 
prosperity. “Husic’s presence on the list is a welcome 
change to give women an executive banking voice 
where it certainly seems like that voice is muted, if not 
silenced altogether,” says Mike Sadowski, reporter for 
the Central Penn Business Journal. Recognizing these 
strengths and benefits of diversity, the Harrisburg 
Regional Chamber/CREDC highlighted Patti Husic and 
Centric Bank as the 2015 Business Diversity Champion 
of the Year in their annual Catalyst Awards. 

Understanding our position as a banking
leader and economic lifeline for small business,
Centric is honored to be the bank “powering the GDP”
and “fueling the local economy” on a statewide and 
national platform. Our Community Matters principle

Trendlines

What can you expect in 2016? Banking that’s pleasant 
and convenient, personalized and inspiring. If you can 
learn a lot about people by where they spend their 
money, you can certainly learn a lot about a Bank  
by whom they “bank” on. Our community investment 
in Main Street is easily discoverable—small 
businesses, entrepreneurs, innovators, makers, 
builders, and physicians.

As we build more prosperous communities together, 
you’ll see rising trendlines in SBA loans, commercial 
and mortgage lending, fee income, and powerful 
omnichannel banking—one source for every service. 
When banking “for the long haul” matters, We Revolve 
Around You.

When we decided to build our building, we 
were repeatedly told it was not going to be 
possible. Centric Bank stepped in with its team 
of experienced and dedicated personnel and 
made the impossible possible. Their can-do 
attitude and experience led the way for an 
exciting new Ted’s Bar & Grill, bigger, better, 
and built for the long haul. If it was not for 
Centric Bank, the dream may have eluded 
us. Now as we move forward with the growth 
and expansion of Ted’s, we look to Centric for 
guidance well into the future.

A lifetime goal became a reality when I was 
offered a chance to purchase the business 
where I had worked for over nine years, but 
I was overwhelmed with concerns about 
how to handle the financing of such a large 
investment. I contacted Centric Bank and 
was immediately put at ease after a brief 
conversation with a lending officer. 

my confidence in the financing process grew 
with each meeting. The Centric team took 
the time to ensure I was comfortable with the 
SBA lending process and clearly explained all 
my options. Their expert management of all 
aspects of the purchase allowed me to focus 
on running my business. It made a world of 
difference to me to be treated like more than 
just another client.

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, 2015 and 2014; the related 
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, 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, 2015 and 2014, 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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Note 18  |  Subsequent Events

Management has reviewed events occurring through February 26, 2016, the date the financial statements were issued, 
and no subsequent events have occurred requiring accrual or disclosure.
