Financing New Frontiers

A Decade of Distinction

Making no bold moves is probably the most dangerous strategy of all. 
You not only risk stagnation on the power curve but also miss out on the 
additional reward of growth capital, which mostly flows to the winners .

— McKi nsey & Company

To O u r Sha reho lders, Cus t om ers ,  a nd  Frie nd s :

2017 was a year of momentum, 
inspiration, vision, distinction, and 
winning . It was a year of bold moves and 
new territories . Bankers are hardwired 
to judge success by the numbers—the 
robust loan growth, the 23% increase in 
earnings, the 15% increase in assets .  
We measure everything . Proudly, Centric 
Bank outperformed and outserved on 
nearly every strategic goal . 

Our hearts are captured by the people we 
invest in and the stories they’re shaping . 
Truly the boldest thinkers, our customers 
are the entrepreneurs—a generation 
willing to abandon convenience, risk their 
financial future, and ignite their dreams .

The small business landscaper, the 
veteran-owned dental practice, and 
the mid-careerist embarking on a new 
adventure—this is our portfolio and our 
Centric Bank family . As we climb the 
stairs of high-rise growth, we never lose 
sight of that first step, the one we took 
on February 8, 2007 . Nor have we lost 
sight of every single parent, family, young 
professional, business, organization, 
school, church, and municipality trusting 
us on this journey . 

We celebrated our tenth year in 2017  
with successes we never dreamed of and 
in industries that didn’t exist in 2007 .  
Our clients are creating, designing, 
coding, building, and enriching our 
communities in extraordinary and life-
changing ways . Their passion and drive 
brings life to banking .

Today, our team is 108 people strong and 
includes leaders in technology, talent 
acquisition, SBA lending, and digital 

media . Celebrating a decade of service 
in February with our entire team was a 
springboard for new outperformance .

While some institutions were challenged 
with internal stagnation, blurred vision, 
and cyber weaknesses, we continued our 
long-run game with a bold new culture 
initiative, unmistakable clarity about who 
we serve, and a new Chief Information 
Officer who brings a fresh technologist’s 
lens to safer, more responsible banking . 

Our growth is remarkable and palpable; 
the journey, at times inelegant and 
against unwieldy federal regulations, 
brings purpose well beyond the bottom 
line . We are immensely proud of our 
reputation as the community bank of 
choice; the personal relationships we 
have strengthened with our customers 
inspire our team . At every layer of the 
financial process and every touchpoint of 
in-person and online banking, we see the 
faces of friends and neighbors .

Successful communities have a 
champion, and we welcome that role 
along with its responsibilities and 
opportunities . We celebrated another 
year of shattering expectations .

Centric Financial Corporation reported 
annual results for 2017 of $3 .74 million 
in net income after taxes, a 23% increase 
over the $3 million reported for the year 
2016 . On December 22, 2017, the Tax 
Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law 
which reduced the base corporate tax rate 
from 34% to 21% in 2018 . In connection 
with the reduction of the corporate tax 
rate, certain net deferred tax assets were 
revalued and included a tax expense

charge of $800,000 in 2017 . The results 
without the one-time tax deferred 
adjustment would have reflected net 
income after taxes of $4 .5 million, or an 
increase of 49% over the prior year-end, 
earnings per share of $ .71, and tangible 
book value per share of $6 .56; return on 
average assets would have been  .88% 
without this one-time adjustment .

Net interest margin expanded from 3 .71% 
to 3 .99%; the efficiency ratio improved 
from 67% to 64%; return on average assets 
increased to  .72% from  .71%; and return 
on average equity increased from 8 .50% 
to 9 .44% over the same period last year,  
or an increase of 11% .

The provision for loan loss expense 
during 2017 totaled $1 .4 million and was a 
decrease of $254,000 over 2016 . According 
to our loan loss reserve calculation, our 
provision adequately reflects the risk 
inherent in our loan portfolio .

Non-interest income continues to 
supplement and add value to our core 
earnings . Small Business Administration 
(SBA) loan sales and mortgage income 
continued to be the most significant 
contributors to non-interest income . 
During 2017, non-interest income 
declined by $595,000 . This decline 
directly related to the decrease in the sale 
of SBA 7(a) loans during the year .  
In 2017, we increased the number of  
SBA 7(a) loans to small business 
customers, but due to the smaller sizes of 
these loans being sold, the net premiums 
were reduced accordingly . 

Total assets at December 31, 2017  
grew to $556 million, a 15% increase  
from year-end 2016 . Net loans grew  
$69 million, or 16% to $491 million at 
year-end 2017 . This growth was driven  
by increases in commercial loans of  
$30 million, or 30% and commercial real 
estate loans of $41 million, or 15% over 
the prior year end .

Total deposits were $485 million at  
December 31, 2017, an increase of  
$65 million, or 15% over year-end 

2016 . Non-interest bearing deposits 
increased $12 million from a year ago 
to $71 million at December 31, 2017, 
comprising 15% of total deposits .

Township with 24/7 Health and Fitness 
Center access;

n   Approved 77 small business loans 
through the nationally ranked  
SBA 7(a) lending program, creating 
2,500+ new jobs .

We were privileged to champion the 
financing needs of small businesses by 
adding our voice and leadership at policy 
tables in Washington, D .C . I joined 
community bank CEOs from across the 
country to meet senior U .S . Treasury 
officials to explore onerous and 
burdensome regulations that are 
hindering economic growth and making 
it difficult for us to serve our customers 
and communities .

The past ten years have taught us 
incredible lessons in perseverance, 
leadership, service, and shared vision .  
We have charted a path to community 
prosperity in spite of unimaginable 
economic disruptions . Armed with 
knowledge and aspiration, compassion 
and courage, we are well equipped to 
journey into the next decade .

Our commitment to a 2007 dream has 
led us to our own new frontier . And our 
success is bringing greater well-being to 
employees, neighbors, and shareholders . 
Thanks to you, we have the most engaged, 
talented, and diverse team to usher us 
into a new Decade of Distinction .

D onald E  . Enders, Jr  .

Asset quality in the form of non-
performing assets as a percentage of 
total assets was 0 .46% at December 31, 
2017, an improvement from 0 .48% from 
the same period end 2016 . Asset quality 
remains pristine as supported in these 
financial ratios .    

Inherent in Centric Bank’s DNA since 
2007 is robust lending, and we embrace 
the philosophy of “Smart Profitable 
Growth .” The continuation of our 
double-digit loan growth, specifically 
commercial loans to small business and 
commercial real estate, is the result of our 
team’s efforts in the markets we serve and 
a strong indication of small business 
optimism . Centric Bank ended 2017  
as #1 in SBA 7(a) loan volume for U .S . 
banks under $1 billion in assets and 
ranked #3 in Pennsylvania for SBA 7(a)  
approved loans . 

We are grateful for a diverse and 
inclusive board that governs with market 
experience, community loyalty, and 
a futurist’s optimism . In addition to a 
broad focus on small business owners, 
we are meeting the banking needs of two 
new target audiences—Millennials and 
women business owners . We have  
created initiatives to tap their real-time 
insights and deploy services where they 
need solutions . 

Our high-potential workforce has pushed 
boundaries in self-improvement and 
service to others . We are honored to  
have ambassadors who have achieved 
milestones for deep, rich work:

Small business owners have found a loyal, dependable, consultative partner in our 
dynamic team at Centric Bank . In 2017, total loans grew to $496 .6 million to fuel small 
businesses—the job creators . Lending increased 16% over 2016 .

If our commercial portfolio was illuminated like the electric grid seen from a 
midnight flight, the visual would be arresting . Centric Bank’s boundaries and 
services are expanding to finance clusters of innovation, life and health sciences, and 
entrepreneurship from Philadelphia to Maryland to New Jersey .

“Our mission has always been to stay true to the small business owner—more than 80% 
of our customer base—and to create a foundation for financial health and vibrancy in 
every community we serve,” says Patricia A . Husic, President & CEO . “Decision-makers, 
lenders, and associates at all levels immerse themselves in understanding our customers’ 
business models, their economic cycles, growth goals, business processes, and 
networks of support . We consider ourselves a banking Blue Zone—an environment that 
undergirds entrepreneurship and fosters productivity, purpose, personal connections, 
and access to resources which touch every facet of community sustainability .” 

When I was ready to open 717 Armory, I immediately started researching financial institutions.  

I wanted a bank I could trust, and in turn, would trust and respect me as a young professional.  

I could not be happier with Centric Bank as my community bank of choice. Cory Bishop’s knowledge, 

understanding, and attention to detail made the entire SBA process seamless. Thank you for giving me, 

a United States Marine Corps veteran, the opportunity to follow my passion and own my own business.

Last year, we financed 77 SBA 7(a) loans to support small businesses in their quest to 
start, expand, or acquire a business, which created more than 2,500 new jobs .

The suburban Philadelphia office led by Michele Light, SVP Market Leader, opened in 
2015 and continues to be an SBA growth engine . In 2017, there were 20 SBA loans sold 
totaling $11 .9 million with a total net premium of $926,000 . Annual growth in the  
Bucks County commercial lending office was 66 .6% or $35 .3 million, ending 2017 with 
$88 .3 million in loans outstanding . Deposit growth was 91 .7% or $11 .1 million to end 
the year at $23 .2 million . “If we have access to resources and people who can help our 
customers succeed, then we want to be that liaison and advocate . We celebrate their 
successes long after the loan documents are signed,” says Michele .

As small business clients like 717 Armory, McGrath’s Pub, Meeka Fine Jewelry, and 
Duck Donuts open their own frontiers, Centric Bank leads the market in organic loan 
growth . Our dedicated SBA experts and enhanced services earned Centric Bank national 
recognition as a Top 100 SBA 7(a) lender in the U .S . The bank is also recognized as the 
#3 SBA 7(a) lender by volume in Pennsylvania and the #2 SBA 7(a) lender by volume in 
the Eastern Pennsylvania District, a region that serves 40 of the Commonwealth’s  
67 counties .

An integral part of Centric’s SBA growth is a financing partnership with a national 
franchise corporation . “We pride ourselves on building an award-winning donut 
franchise company with strong partners—people who understand the DNA of an 
entrepreneur, who are passionate about investing in local communities, and who bring 
solutions and opportunities to our franchisees . As new franchise owners onboard, it’s 
extremely helpful to connect them with an institution we know and trust . The SBA loan 
process has been a wonderful opportunity for our new franchisees and allows them to 
allocate their cash in the best areas possible while still being able to hire and grow their 
franchise,” says Russ A . DiGilio, founder of Duck Donuts Franchising Company .

In 2007, four individuals decided to invest in a noble idea with no playbook on how to 
reinvent, brand, and scale a financial institution . We believed a strong community bank 
was integral to economic growth and that community banks could uniquely deliver local 
lending and local decision-making that would reach the far corners of the economy . 
Today, those founding principles are stronger than ever .

Our relationship banking model is one degree of separation from customer to decision-
maker with immediate accessibility on the platform of your choice—Twitter, Facebook, 
Instagram, and LinkedIn . In its second year, the Millennial Advisory Board is adding real-
time insights that are helping to shape new marketing initiatives and shorten customer 
response times . From these meetings, Centric enhanced our mobile banking app and we 
are digitizing our loan application process . 

“I believe it is truly a representation of some of the great things about doing business 
in the Harrisburg area,” says Derek Whitesel, Executive Director of Harrisburg Young 
Professionals, a 1,500-member organization . “We have great people at Centric Bank 
looking to help others grow their business for the benefit of Harrisburg . I look forward  
to the Millennial Advisory Board’s continued conversations and feedback .”

Last year, there were many mergers in the banking industry, and as a result we experienced a change  

in the relationship we had with our existing bank. We felt overlooked and disconnected.  

As a small non-profit, we thrive on the close relationships we build in our community, not just with 

our participant families and volunteers, but also with our corporate supporters and service providers. 

We wanted convenience, but more importantly we wanted the comfort and security that comes from 

having a meaningful relationship with our bank. We were warmly welcomed at Centric.

much as the seamless loan process, the intuitive online banking, and the corporate 
advocacy . “One of the most compelling factors making Centric a great fit for us is the 
incredible leadership,” says Gillian . “As an organization that teaches girls to dream big 
and connects them to their limitless potential, we were excited about the number of 
women in leadership roles at the bank . This ties Centric to our mission and the world we 
envision—a world where every girl is free to boldly pursue her dreams .”

Recognized nationally for exemplary female leadership and impact in banking, Patti 
Husic was named one of American Banker’s 25 Most Powerful Women in Banking in  
the U .S . for the third consecutive year . On a statewide level, Patti was honored with  
the PA Bankers Association inaugural Woman of Influence Award for her groundbreaking 
initiatives in the banking industry; the award is a legacy honor going forward .  
The leadership team, 67% of whom are women, led a record-breaking year of market 
success with double-digit commercial loan and earnings growth and service to the 
community .

As leaders in shaping our communities, how we spend our time in service as an 
institution can be the biggest connection to a customer . Our team supported more than 
20 charities and organizations in 2017 . We served Thanksgiving meals at Downtown 
Daily Bread, collected food for pets at the Humane Society of Harrisburg, empowered 
women to eradicate domestic violence at the YWCA Bucks County, educated children 
in Junior Achievement classes, chaired the largest American Heart Association Go Red 
for Women event in attendance and donations, and presented The Salvation Army 
Harrisburg Capital City Region with $50,000 for their new Worship and Service Center 
in Harrisburg . We’re proud of the stewardship our charitable partners practice, and 
together we are building a brighter future .

Launched in October, our Women Centric: Prepared to LeadTM events provide leadership 
growth, executive connections, and business inspiration to high-achieving women . 
Making 85% of consumer decisions and starting businesses at twice the rate of men, 
women business owners are a valued segment for Centric .

“Contribute to the Community” is the exclamation point to the Centric Bank Way 
26-point culture initiative, and it’s exemplified across the organization . Supporting  
Casual for a Cause days, the team dressed down to serve up donations and volunteer 
hours to charities they lead and support . They include the Central PA Food Bank, 
American Heart Association National Wear Red Day, the Boys & Girls Club, Career 
Wardrobe Philadelphia PA, AHA Heart Walk, Relay for Life, Healthy Steps Diaper Bank, 
The Salvation Army WIN Women Involved, Operation Backpack, Feel Your Boobies, 

I have been doing business with Centric 

Bank for almost two years now. It was an 

excellent decision to join forces with them. 

They go out of their way to learn about 

your business and provide specialized help, 

exactly the way you need it. I could not 

be happier with the personalized service 

they provide, and I will stay with them for 

decades to come. Thank you, Centric Bank, 

for your service!

To meet the needs of a growing institution, the bank consolidated teams from three 
locations into one spacious and newly renovated Corporate, Executive, and Operations 
Center at 1826 Good Hope Road in Enola . The financial center on Linglestown Road in 
Harrisburg remains the headquarters and also serves as the mortgage center . By bringing 
several teams together, we’ve increased efficiencies, strengthened services, and added a 
fitness and wellness center . During move-in week, our employees were reminded how 
important they are with welcome signs that read, “We’re Glad You Are Here” and “Thank 
God It’s Monday!” 

Christine Pavlakovich, SVP Director of Human Resources, joined the Centric team in 
June 2017 and brings 25 years of talent acquisition expertise, leadership, and a passion 
for creating new potential through teamwork . Christy and her team are spearheading a 
bold culture campaign titled the Centric Bank Way . It’s an internal commitment to each 
other, our customers, and the communities we serve . Grounded in 26 fundamentals 
that define our corporate DNA, the Centric Bank Way empowers each employee to be a 
changemaker . Listen generously, speak straight, honor commitments, and be relentless 
about improvement are some of our declarations .

In December 2017, Clair M . Finkenbinder III joined the team to drive bank-wide 
technology, cyberstrategy, and lead a digital transformation that meets the growth, 
convenience, and information needs of customers . “A technologist who differentiates 
our institution with a stronger digital client experience at every touchpoint is a business 
advantage,” says Patti . “Our double-digit growth coupled with an intense regulatory 
environment, cybersecurity protections, and the pace at which we understand and 
attract a new generation of financial consumer requires the talents of a technical 
solutions expert, not a banker .” 

Centric Bank not only helped me finance my first house but now our second one, too. When I was buying 

my first house, I was a new doctor in the area. I looked into a lot of banks to see who would be willing 

to work with a new doctor right out of medical school. The only bank that was willing was Centric Bank. 

They were accommodating, able to meet all my needs, and gave me a great rate. When my husband 

and I got married, and we were looking for a new house to start a family, I knew there was no other 

bank I wanted to work with. I value customer service, and Centric Bank goes above and beyond. They 

have years of experience and knowledge to help us make the right financial decisions. We would highly 

recommend Centric Bank for both personal banking and practice financing.

Since I’ve been working with Dragan Dodik and 

Centric Bank, I have been very impressed with 

their ability to do what they say they’re going to 

do. I appreciate the responsiveness that Dragan

And when I send one of my clients to Centric

good care of them.

perspective . Don’t take things personally or take yourself too

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Centric Financial Corporation and subsidiaries which 
comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and 2016; 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 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 subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 comprises most 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, and two loan production offices in 
Bucks and Lancaster Counties, as well as online banking channels . The Bank’s principal sources of revenue are interest income 
generated from the portfolio of commercial and residential real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans, income from 
the generation and subsequent sale of loans, as well as interest income generated from the 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 significant 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 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 is 
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 $907,000 and $508,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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, Cumberland, Lancaster, and Bucks counties . Because of the Bank’s concentration 
of business in these market areas, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, depend on the general economic 
conditions in the aforementioned immediate geographic regions .

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 .

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 .

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 by either the present value of 
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral 
dependent .

Purchased loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration for which it is probable at purchase that all contractually required 
payments will not be collected are acquired with deteriorated credit quality . Centric accounts for differences between contractual 
cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans acquired in a transfer if those 
differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality . Centric records impaired loans at fair value and did not carry over 
a valuation allowance 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 letters 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 stock 
ownership and disposition is restricted, the shares lack a market for measuring fair value and are recorded at cost .

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 and letters of credit 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 . The Company utilizes a two-step process for testing the impairment of goodwill 
on at least an annual basis . For federal tax purposes, goodwill is amortized on a straightline basis over 15 years . There was no 
impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2017 or 2016 .

Mortgage Servicing Rights and Credit Enhancement Fees
The Bank previously sold residential mortgages to FHLB under theMortgage Partnership Finance Program (“MPF”) . The Bank 
is no longer an active participant in the MPF program . Under this program, the Bank continues to service 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 theMPF portfolio . Servicing rights for the MPF loans were fully amortized in 2014 . MPF portfolio 
fees earned amounted to $7,000 and $9,000 during 2017 and 2016 . The MPF portfolio balance was $1,553,000 and $2,115,000 at 
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively . The FHLB maintains a first-loss position for the MPF portfolio that totals $315,000 . 
Should the FHLB exhaust its first-loss position, recourse to the Bank’s credit enhancement would cover the next $8,000 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, 2017 or 2016 .

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 SBA loans generating mortgage servicing rights 
was $57,617,000 and $43,249,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively . Additionally, they are subject to an impairment 
analysis based on their fair value in future periods . The Bank did not record any impairment of the mortgage servicing assets in 
2017 or 2016 . The mortgage servicing rights balance at December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the activity that occurred during the year 
consisted of the following:

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 incurred .

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 23,074 and 5,958 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average price of $7 .02 and $9 .00, 
outstanding at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively; and unvested restricted shares of 8,154 and 3,688 at December 31, 2017 
and 2016, at a weighted-average price of $6 .11 and $7 .61, respectively, 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 an increase or deduction from income tax expense . During 2017, $41,000 in stock 
options were exercised with a tax benefit of $2,000 and no warrants were exercised in 2017 . During 2016, $16,000 in stock options 
with a tax benefit of $5,000, and $130,000 in warrants with a $3,000 tax benefit, were exercised, respectively .

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Centric recognizes revenue, expenses, gains, and losses in net income . Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized

Balance Sheet .

Such items are included as components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, as follows, net of taxes:

The following illustrates amounts reclassified out of each component of accumulated other comprehensive loss .

The Consolidated Balance Sheet presents “available-for-sale” securities at fair value . Corresponding unrealized gains and losses

Note 2   |   Investment Securities (Continued)

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

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

Centric reviews investment securities on an ongoing basis for potential impairment which would be other-than-temporary and 
has adopted the provision which provides for the bifurcation of 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 
year ended December 31, 2017, Centric did not record any credit-related impairment . Centric recorded credit-related impairment 
of $39,000 on two private collateralized mortgage obligations through earnings as of December 31, 2016 . There were 30 securities 
that were temporarily impaired at December 31, 2017 .

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 nonclassified 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 of loans
n  Changes in lending policies, underwriting and procedures
n  Volatility of losses within each risk category
n  Trends in underlying collateral values
n  Economic factors
n  Concentrations of credit
n  Experience, depth and ability of management

Note 4   |   Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

The total allowance reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date .  
The Bank considers the allowance for loan losses of approximately $5,888,000 adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the loan 
portfolio, as of and for the year ending December 31, 2017 . 

Allowance for loan losses activity during 2017 is as follows:

During 2017 the allowance for commercial loans increased due to increased volume of loans, an increase in the historical loss 
factor as recoveries decreased, as well as an increase in classified loans, and specific reserves for impaired loans . Real estate - 
construction reserves increased primarily due to an increase in the volume and terms of loans . The increase in reserves for real 
estate – commercial were driven largely by an increase in loan volume and also by a slight increase in loss adjustments, and off 
set slightly by a decline in the historical loss factor in multifamily loans . The changes in the reserve for the remaining portfolio 
segments were primarily due to changes in volume .

Allowance for loan losses activity during 2016 is as follows:

During 2016 the allowance for commercial loans was increased due to an increase in the factors for trends in volume and terms of 
loans and concentrations of credit; however, this increase was offset by a decrease in the level of reserves for impaired loans .  
The reserves for real estate – residential owner occupied was decreased during the year for both decreases in the amount of 
specific reserves for impaired loans as well as declines in the historical loss rate on that portfolio segment and a slight decrease in 
the qualitative factor for concentrations of credit . The reserves for real estate – commercial increased primarily due to an increase 
in the qualitative factor for trends in volume and terms of loans . The changes in the reserve for the remaining portfolio segments 
were primarily due to changes in the volume of loans within that portfolio segment .

Credit Quality and Aging
The following tables represent credit exposures for the Bank’s commercial loan classes by internally assigned grades for the 
periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 . 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 amore 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 .

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

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

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, 2017 and 2016 .

Impaired Loans
Management analyzes commercial and commercial real estate 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 . 
Additionally, any loan modified in a troubled debt restructuring is impaired regardless of the loan class . 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 .

No loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality remained as of December 31, 2017 . At December 31, 2016, one loan acquired 
with deteriorated credit quality had an outstanding contractual balance of $91,000 and a carrying amount of $56,000 .

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, 2017 and 2016 .

Note 4   |   Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

Loan Modifications
Situations may arise that would cause the Bank to grant a concession for other-than-temporary purpose to 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 recorded investment in the loan at the measurement 
date . 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 .

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $6,000,000 in junior subordinated debentures outstanding 
held by a financial institution . The debt bears interest at a fixed rate of 4 .85 percent until December 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 2020 . During 2017, the Company issued $4,000,000 in additional subordinated 
debentures to four institutions all at the same terms: fixed rate of 5 .50 percent for five years, then to a floating rate of WSJ prime +

Bank made matching contributions of 50 percent of employees’ contributions, subject to a maximum contribution of 4 percent 
of an employee’s compensation . Starting on July 1, 2016, the Bank increased the maximum contribution to match 6 percent of an 
employee’s compensation, while continuing the 50 percent matching of employees’ contributions . Matching contributions vest to 
the employee on a graded percentage and are fully vested in five years . For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, expense 
attributable to the plan amounted to $116,000 and $71,000, respectively . These expenses are included in salaries and employee 
benefits on the Consolidated Statement of Income .

Stock Options and Warrants
The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan of 2007 (the “2007 Plan”) enables the Company to grant stock options, warrants, or restricted 
stock to directors and other designated employees . The 2007 Plan ran for ten years and expired during 2017 . At the 2017 Annual 
Meeting a new Stock Incentive Plan of 2017 (the “2017 Plan”) was approved by shareholder vote and will be in effect for the next 
ten years . The 2017 Plan covers 250,000 shares of common stock . The number of shares available for grant at December 31, 2017 
was 237,306 .

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 .

Options and warrants of the Plans outstanding at December 31, 2017, and the activity that occurred during the year consisted of 
the following:

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

At December 31, 2017, the aggregate intrinsic value of all options and warrants was $445,000 and $363,000 outstanding and 
exercisable, respectively . The weighted-average remaining life of both the outstanding and exercisable options and warrants at 
December 31, 2017 is 4 .63 years . Non-employee director stock options of 7,444 and 2,648 were exercised at a weighted average 
price of $5 .35 and $5 .79 during 2017 and 2016, respectively .

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, stock option compensation expense of $8,000 and $7,000 was recognized in 
connection with the option plan, respectively . A tax benefit of $3,000 and $2,000 was recognized relative to these stock options at 
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively . As of December 31, 2017, related future compensation expense is $10,000, $10,000 and 
$3,000 for 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively .

Common stock warrants were issued under the 2007 Plan to certain directors to purchase an aggregate share of common stock 
pursuant to the warrant grant . During 2016, the remaining 26,580 shares related to these warrants were exercised at a weighted-
average exercise price of $4 .91 . No warrants remain from the 2007 Plan . No new warrants have been granted from the 2017 Plan 
through December 31, 2017 .

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, 2017 and 2016 . 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 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017 and 2016, was calculated using the Black-Scholes 
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Restricted Stock
At December 31, 2017, over the life of the Plans, the Company has awarded 55,762 of restricted shares to nonemployee directors 
and officers subject to vesting and other provisions . There were no shares vested or distributed to Plan participants during 2017 . 
Shares granted to the Plan participants of 2,000 had vested and been distributed during 2016 .

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

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

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, compensation expense of $48,000 and $31,000 was recognized in connection 
with the vesting of restricted stock, respectively . Tax benefits of $16,000 and $11,000 were recognized relative to these shares at 
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively . Future compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock at December 31, 
2017 is $59,000, $34,000 and $13,000 in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively .

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company approved and implemented an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) in 2015 . 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 . Over the life of the plan, 8,412 shares have been issued . The number of shares issued during 2017 was 
4,295, no shares related to ESPP were issued in 2016 .

Note 10   |   Federal Income Taxes

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

The December 22, 2017 passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced the base corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% . GAAP requires 
corporations with net deferred tax assets or liabilities to account for the adjustment in the period enacted . Centric’s write down for 
its net deferred tax assets amounted to an $800,000 reduction to net income .

The following temporary differences gave rise to the net deferred tax assets at December 31:

Financing New Frontiers

Note 10   |   Federal Income Taxes (Continued)

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

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

There is currently no liability for uncertain tax positions and no known unrecognized tax benefits . The Company recognizes, 
when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Consolidated 
Statement of Income . With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U .S . federal, state, or local income tax examination 
by tax authorities for years before 2014 .

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, 2017, loans to related parties 
were $5,431,000 and deposits by related parties totaled $7,181,000 . At December 31, 2016, loans to related parties were $13,661,000 
and deposits by related parties totaled $6,684,000 .

Related-party loan activity is summarized as follows:

All of Centric’s directors are customers of the Bank . As of December 31, 2017, Centric’s shareholders number 319, many of 
which 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, 2017 and 2016, related-party 
transactions include $9,000 and $192,000 of purchases, respectively . There was no revenue generated on related-party transactions 
for any of the periods listed .

Note 12   |   Unfunded Credit Commitments

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

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

Unfunded lending commitments at year-end:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in 
the contract . Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts 
do not necessarily represent future cash requirements . Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination 
clauses and may require payment of a fee . The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis .

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

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

Note 13   |   Regulatory Matters

The Company and the Bank are subject to the Basel III Capital Rules that were effective at the beginning of 2015 . These 
rules introduced the “capital conservation buffer”, which will be phased in over a four-year period . 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 . 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 . 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, 2017 
and 2016, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject .

Financing New Frontiers

Note 13   |   Regulatory Matters (Continued)

As of December 31, 2017, the Bank is categorized 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 .

The Company and the Bank’s capital ratios as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, are presented below:

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

Note 14   |   Fair Value Measurements

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

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

Level II: 

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

Level III: 

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

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

The following tables present the assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as of December 31, 2017 and 
2016, 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 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 the allowance for loan losses, or a charge-off is taken to reduce the loan to the fair value of 

Financials          2017  A N N UA L   R E P O RT           43

Financing New Frontiers

Note 14   |   Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

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, 2017 and 2016, the fair values shown above exclude estimated selling costs of $8,000  
and $60,000 .

Other Real Estate Owned
OREO is carried at the lower of cost or fair value measured at the date of 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 this case, the property is categorized in the above table as Level 
III measurement, because the adjustment is considered to be an “unobservable” input . 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, 2017 and 2016, write-downs of one and four properties, respectively, were required and therefore are 
considered to be carried at fair value .

Securities Held to Maturity
Securities held to maturity were evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2017 and no credit impairment was determined . 
Securities held to maturity as of December 31, 2016, were written down to fair market value as a result of impairment determined 
to be OTTI . Management separates OTTI into two categories: (a) the amount of total OTTI related to a decrease in expected cash 
flows to be collected (credit loss) which is recognized in earnings; and (b) the amount of OTTI related to all other factors, which is 
recognized, net of income taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income . There was no impairment on securities held to 
maturity during 2017 . During 2016, the Bank recorded credit related impairment of $39,000 on two private label mortgage-backed 
securities through earnings . The remaining difference between the fair value and amortized cost of $56,000 (the difference defined 
as the noncredit portion) was recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes .

The following tables present quantitative information about the Level III significant unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities 
measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2017 and 2016 .

Note 15   |   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is as follows:

Financing New Frontiers

Note 15   |   Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note 15   |   Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

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 future prepay 
speeds . Discount rates are based upon rates generally charged for such loans with similar characteristics .

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 .

Commitments to Extend Credit
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   |   Subsequent Events

Management has reviewed events occurring through February 23, 2018, the date the financial statements were issued, and no 
subsequent events have occurred requiring accrual or disclosure .
